[farkledagain]

I'm in an Acquisitions Incorporated DND game, which means I finally got curious enough about the surrounding lore to pick up the "C" Team. It's good found family and has some of the most heart rending and also funniest moments. I do think it can sometimes get a little too obtuse, but I had fun!

Rosie: Well… I’ve been at the Dran and Courtier for the last three months, apparently. Walnut: Three?! Rosie: (to Donaar) You didn’t tell her? Walnut: Months?! Rosie: (to K'thriss) You didn’t tell her? Walnut: (to the boys) She’s been there for *three months*? Donaar: (to Rosie) We haven’t seen her in three months. Rosie: (dubious) You’ve been back, delivering lamps. Donaar: I’m trying to make you feel better! Rosie: Yeah, but you knew I was there. You didn’t tell Walnut?! Donaar: (defensively) I don’t tell Walnut lots of things. Walnut: Like WHAT?! What else?! Donaar: If I tell you, then I would not have not told you. Walnut: (petulantly) I don’t miss him. .

Maple Arc

Mapleshade's arc is a lot more politically motivated and complex than in the original.

Mapleshade's family descends from the original settlers, as does Oakfell's. At this point, the Thunder Champions and the Beach Rafters have been waring for a long time and Starwalker Oakfell is very keen on securing his legacy. Oakfell has two (legal) children with his wife, Sweetbriar. A single daughter, Kindlingwish, and a child, Birchface. Starwalker Oakfell basically wants to hook his kids up with a cat that'll give them stronger genes (stronger to him). Mapleshade is picked by Oakfell to be Birchface's mate and heavily pressured into it. Mapleshade is a very daring cat, a peak Thunder Champion and her only remaining family is her grandmother who is too old to be having kittens. Mapleshade and Birchface are good as friends, but aren't interested in each other that way. They both learn that, ironically, they both have mates in the Beach Rafter colony. They bond over this and decide to keep it their little secret and cover for each other. Kindlingwish on the other hand as her heart set on a cat her father disapproves of. Vipergrass has mostly kittypet/loner ancestry. Oakfell continues to push his daughter towards marrying Thrushtalon, who has 'better' lineage. When Mapleshade gets pregnant with Appledusk's kits, Birchface agrees to cover as the kits' father. The night before another battle, Birchface is going on a small walk with his mate, Saltswim and learns from them that Appledusk has been courting a cat named Reedshine behind Mapleshade's back. Angered and wanting to defend his friend, Birchface aims to get Appledusk alone so he can tell Appledusk he knows his little game and to apologize to Mapleshade. Appledusk realizes that he's in trouble and out of panic more than anything kicks Birchface into the rapids, which kills him and his young apprentice, Flowerpaw. Mapleshade hears of Birchface's death and is heartbroken. Birchface never got to tell her what he knew. Mapleshade keeps meeting Appledusk in secret who recounts the whole thing as an accident, that Birchface had slipped and hit his face against the slick rocks, crashing into the river. Mapleshade believes him and has his kits shortly after, passing them off as Birchface's kits.

When the kittens can barely walk, they pass as Birchface's kits easily. Especially Larchkit and Petalkit, while Patchkit is a 'mini mapleshade'. However as they grow, something is off about them. Ravenwing gets requested (read demanded) to do a summoning for Oakfell. Birchface refuses to answer and other cats appear instead, dark spirits that send Ravenwing the omen that Mapleshade's kits are half-colony cats. Not only that, but their true father is Birchface's murderer.

Mapleshade is forced to stay in the nursery to receive her punishment. Her grandmother, Fennelbush, her old mentor Bloomheart, and the deputy, Beestinger. Starwalker Oakfell catches on quick though and to save his conspirators Beestinger takes the blame and is executed. Loyal followers of Starwaker Oakfell (and those afraid of him), chase mapleshade and her kits, hunting them down. It blocks off Mapleshade's escape to anywhere except the Beach Rafters. A storm has brewed through all this and the rivers have turned to rapids. With no other choice, Mapleshade tries to get her kits across, but she and her babies are knocked into the water.

Nearby a Beach Rafter patrol, gathering supplies before the storm gets too bad, hear something going on. Even though Starwalker Darklightening had put propaganda through all her colony's heads, several cats were still firm believers in the 'Life Law'. Two important cats in the patrol are Eeldive who rescued Mapleshade from the water when the actual rescuers wouldn't, and Saltswim, Birchface's mate who had been mourning in silence and guilt, chases after Mapleshade's kits. Eeldive convinces the others to take Mapleshade to the colony and sadly, Saltswim comes back with the dead kittens, Mapleshade crumbles as her life falls apart, only for salt to be rubbed in her wounds when Appledusk proclaims he never loved her, when Saltswim spills his secret. Reedshine, Appledusk's legal mate is so horrified by her colony's treatment of Mapleshade and her mate, that she renounces their mateship then and there. Eeldive, Saltswim, and Reedshine all care and try to protect Mapleshade, when eventually Starwalker Darklightening states that basically Mapleshade is banished.

They continue to care for her in secret as Mapleshade finds her way around to the barn where Myler lives. Myler agrees to house Mapleshade. Eeldive Reddshine and Mapleshade slowly get closer, but Reedshine is pregnant. Maple and her sort of. both know its appledusk's but dont mention it out loud due to the pain of it. Grieving still, Mapleshade tries to sneak to Moonstone to contact Birchface or her kittens or, anyone really. She runs into Ravenwing, who threatens her, but when he mentions her kits in a bad way, Mapleshade attacks him. It's the biggest taboo of all the colonies to attack a healer. Mapleshade had no intention of killing him, but the battle escalates and Ravenwing ends up dead. Mapleshade is badly startled by this and combined with her nightmares she starts not eating or drinking, which leads to her hallucinating.

Later Mapleshade stumbles into Kindlingwish sort of by accident while trying to sneak over to pay respects at Birchface's grave. They get into a small argument which Kindlingwish turns into a physical fight as her grief overwhelms her. By accident, Kindlingwish is bitten by an adder and a scared, confused Mapleshade hears a patrol coming, leaving Kindlingwish to be found and having the patrol see her running from the scene of the crime.

Kindlingwish survives with some lifelong issues and dives into her bitterness, marrying Thrushtalon to please her father and having one kit, Pinefall (named after her father somewhat). She remains bitter and claims to her death that Mapleshade had tried to kill her. meanwhile back into time where Mapleshade is running away, she finds Eeldive who states Reedshine has started to go into labor. Mapleshade rushes to her and helps with her kitting. Soon after, Appledusk decides he's pissed and bitter and gathers supports to 'return reedshine' who he states had been kidnapped by Maple, Eel, Salt, and Myler. he plans on basically forcing Reedshine to come back with him and re-marry him at any cost. A battle breaks out, ending with Mapleshade killing Appledusk and chasing the battle party off. For awhile, Maple, Salt, Reed, and Myler (and Myler's husband) raise the kits and live as barncats/loners. later when Starwalker Darklightening dies, (probably to battle?) the next leader invites the group to return and live in the Beach Rafters colony were previous transgressions would be forgotten. After heavy debate they agree and eventually Maple, Eel, and Reed become wives. Though Mapleshade is haunted deeply by what happened and even at her death, the story around her has shapeshifted over the years.

[tiny-wing-child]

When playing Sharks and Minnows, it is no longer "Sharks And Minnows, 123" but "Minnows, away!"

Nobody plays catagories on the diving board anymore.

Haven't seen one kid play mermaids.

A kid got mad at another kid and said "You SON of a BEESTINGER"

Another kid got mad at a different kid and said "Why don't you date YOURSELF, cOnNoR"

^That same kid said "I have 30 whole dollars. I'm like Elon Musk 2.0" this kid is like 8

I don't have my glasses on an I thought I saw my neighbor but I wasn't sure so I was staring at this poor woman and squinting with a very serious expression and she made eye contact with me so I just awkwardly smiled and looked away

[farkledagain]

I think this was towards the latter half of the "C" team. I like Portentia because she's a mean bitch, but I do not understand her intentions AT ALL. IDK if she's supposed to be a kind of muddled morally grey bitch or straight up evil. She really wanted Auspicia dead for no good reason and then by the end they're like... just kind of cool with each other? WHATEVER.

There's no canon basis for Certainty/Walnut, but I really like it. Especially with Jasmine's version of Certainty that is currently out there.

And also some Laosha bullying Drieb.
