Marshpaw on Mars

(alternatively; how Eggkit was found)

Splintering branches grew over Marshpaw’s head, casting reaching, looming shadows over the forest floor. Her white fur was stained with dirt, and she didn't dare rest weight on her back leg. She couldn't imagine how mangled it looked based on the way it ached and burned from her tumble down the cliff.

She turned her head back to gaze at it, and her ankle was twisted in a horrible way it definitely should not be, and her fur was sticky with blood and spotted with burrs and sticks. She hissed as she pressed her weight to three of her legs, heaving herself to her paws, craning her head to look at the very top of the cliff, where her home resided just a few paces down.

Perhaps this was why she wasn't allowed to leave the camp without Paintedflame.

There wasn't any way she was going to be able to make it back up the cliff. Surely there was a way around it, she thought, or a less steep way up. There was a divot where she had slid down the cliff, disturbed dirt and rocks, and no matter how sharp her claws were, the dirt was soft, and it wouldn’t give her leverage.

Marshpaw began to limp forward, unsure of where exactly she planned to end up, but staying still would surely get her nowhere. She dragged herself past nettles and thorns that snagged her fur, and, in trying to unstick herself, she slipped and tumbled onto her side again. Pain thumped dully and snapped furiously through various injuries, and she tried to heave herself back up to her paws again.

“Hello?” she mewed quietly, hearing her own voice echo off trees and rocks. “Is anybody there?”

There was no response besides the singing of birds. Not even mice skittered along the forest floor.

“Just great! Now I’m all alone. Just like Applepaw was! Oh, I don’t like feeling so guilty…” she rambled to nobody in particular. She froze when her ears caught the slightest sound of twigs snapping. A squirrel, she told herself, a rabbit, a mouse, a rat, anything that wouldn’t be dangerous to her.

Her maw raised to pick up the scent. Ears perked and her tail swished behind her. Now all she could hear was the crunching of leaves as whatever was out there approached her. She scrambled back into the bushes, cursing her bright white fur that contrasted against the green. She was so easily seen, and would be so easily killed—

A head popped into the bushes and without a second thought, Marshpaw screamed.

“Mar- Marshpaw!” came a familiar voice. “Stop screaming! It’s me!”

The apprentice closed her maw, and in front of her face was a particularly frazzled tom. Oh, it was only Floatstream. He helped the injured she-cat from the bush, revealing Paintedflame, Blackpaw, Redwind, and Morningpaw.

Morningpaw rubbed the top of her head on the white she-cat’s chin and rumbled with a purr. “Hi, Marshpaw! We found you! Good thing you aren’t dead!”

“Gee, thanks,” Marshpaw replied unsurely with an amused smile. Her eyes immediately lost their sparkle when they caught her mentor’s disappointed expression, and her face fell. Their ears airplaned to the side and their fiery eyes were narrowed.

“Sorry for leaving without you, Paintedflame,” Marshpaw said sheepishly, averting her gaze.

They huffed, gazing down at her. “Let’s go back to camp and get you fixed up. I can yell at you when you’re not injured.” Paintedflame promptly picked Marshpaw up by the scruff of her neck, and began carrying her back to camp. The walk back was tense and silent; only broken by the crunching of pawsteps and the scuttling of prey animals.

Until Blackpaw’s ears perked and she froze. “What’s that?”

“What’s what?” came Morningpaw’s meek voice.

“It sounds like… squeaking,” she mused confusedly, raising her nose to the air.

“It’s probably not important,” dismissed Paintedflame tiredly. “Come on, Buzzingstar will be ticked if we’re not back home soon—”

“No, I hear it too,” said Redwind.

Paintedflame let out a muffled groan as Blackpaw and Redwind dispersed, annoyance sparking through their claws. They shot an unsolicited glare to Floatstream, making Morningpaw squeak and cower further behind him.

Redwind followed Blackpaw toward the mewling, pointed ears strained in the direction, and suddenly the she-cat paused, maw lowered to the earth. Redwind could see the gears turning behind her eyes, as the scent and the direction it blew sorted themselves out in her head.

“It doesn't smell like…a clan cat,” she murmured. “It's a cat, but not one of us.”

“Like a kittypet?”

“No…almost like a Sharptooth. But it’s not…” She trailed off for a moment, tentatively stepping forward. Redwind’s muscles tensed and he followed behind her, as she nudged foliage away – and froze with a gasp.

“What?”

“A kitten!”

Redwind was immediately intrigued – and a little concerned. He came up behind Blackpaw and peered into the bushes, and sure enough, laid a little orange kitten, with a black muzzle, folded black ears, and a short bobtail.

“It’s so small,” Blackpaw murmured in disbelief, as Redwind picked it up by its scruff. The kitten mewed in surprise, squirming in his grasp, and he shushed it through a mouthful of fur as the two warriors swiftly made their way back to the patrol.

Morningpaw let out a soft gasp, and even Paintedflame’s eyes widened as Redwind returned with a kitten in his mouth.

“What are you doing with that,” they asked suspiciously.

“Saving it.”

“You don't think its mother was maybe out hunting for food?”

“And left a tiny, defenseless kitten unprotected in the middle of the forest?”

Paintedflame scoffed again, ears drooping, and gestured for the patrol to follow them. “Whatever. Don't come crying to me when you get killed by an angry queen accusing you of kit-napping.”

Redwind tightened his grip on the kitten’s scruff, falling behind to walk by Blackpaw. She could see the way his eyes stayed trained on his paws, and his brows furrowed, that he was nervous.

“You don't think his mother's out there?” he asked through a mouthful of fur. “And I just doomed our clan to the wrath of a furious queen and she's going to kill us all in search of her kitten that I stole?”

“Uhh..” Blackpaw’s ears airplaned to the side. “I’m not sure it’d be that intense. If anything, she'd follow its scent and demand it back. And, I mean, who are we to say no?”

Redwind’s shoulders seemed to lower at her sentence, and the patrol began to smell the familiar air of their camp. Buzzingstar sat dwarfed by Ebonyspark, talking over something Redwind assumed was important, until the deputy’s striking purple eyes caught the patrol – and the very obvious ball of bloodied white fur in Paintedflame’s mouth.

“We’re back,” declared Blackpaw, “and we found her!”

“Wonderful job,” mewed Ebonyspark, beaming. “I’ll take her to the medicine den.”

Paintedflame set the apprentice down near Ebonyspark, and he took her scruff in his maw, lifting her with unsurprising ease, and padding over to the medicine den, leaving the patrol to disperse – and Buzzingstar to stare awkwardly at the kitten in Redwind’s jaws.

“That kitten isn't Marshpaw,” he deadpanned. “Where’d you get it from anyway?”

“We—”

“You know what? I don't want to know,” he interrupted, closing his eyes exasperatedly. “I’ve had enough drama for today.”

“Buzzingstar, if I may,” came Ebonyspark’s voice as he returned from the medicine den, “bringing such a young kitten back to our camp and not knowing its origins could lead to discord between the clans.”

“I’ll keep it until the mother returns,” Redwind replied, and left the gaggle of cats to presumably the nursery or the medicine den, where Marshpaw lay, with Sneezestep tending to her leg, and Applepaw purring so loud her body vibrated.

How about 4, 5, and 6 for your ask game :3c?

Which Horse was your first purchase? Do you still own that horse, and what did you name it?

so when i started playing sso (2017?) i occasionally saw people ride this horse, i still remember being in moorland as a n00b and stopping in my tracks to look at it bc i was blown away:

im weak for "lighter mane colour than coat colour" horses and this one has a unique colour so it really stood out to me. plus, im a friesian enjoyer as far as irl horses go, even if sso friesians have never been quite right to me (including this one).

so i googled where to get this horse, okay, new hillcrest. i told myself: thats the horse i want, i dont need to buy any other horse until i can get it bc i dont care that much about any other horse ive seen so far anyway. (i obvs didnt have much sc, since id just started) i had no idea how long it would take to get to NH at this point lol.

then i play for some time and i get to firgrove (i think that was where it was at least). and im met by......

.... this guy who i just love. hes so cute. i stare at him and question if i have to stick to my decision to save up sc for the friesian. eventually i decide that it seems like its a long time until i unlock NH anyway, so its okay if i get him in the meantime.

so he was my first bought horse, and it was a great decision bc then he was my main (very beloved) horse for a long time. his name is Snowspell but i also call him Pelle (swedish name). this was also before the starter horse got gen3'd, so Pelle just looked better than Winterborn dsfgkjdfs... but i rode him all the time and loved him so much.

eventually when i got to NH, i think id bought at least one other horse (the blue old magic horse), and also, when i actually was face to face with the friesian i wanted, i realised i didnt like it that much. i felt like the face wasnt that pretty, and overall it looks a bit plasticky like a toy. i did buy one (shes called MorningDream, i think maybe shes called Morning Sun in my brain tho) and then just didnt ride her at all basically..... until 2-3 years ago when i suddenly realised that i love her with red tack on, she looks like a beautiful christmas toy horse, so we got a happy ending too.

Which Horse is your favorite? Do you own said horse, or are you simply dreaming of buying it?

basically Winterborn my starter is my emotional favourite like, he doesnt have the best model, but i cant imagine not having him (or a replacement for him if they released another horse that has the same colour and vibes, to take over the title of heart horse vessel).

at the moment my non-starter favourite is my ardennes Meatball (registered name Walnut) and im really frustrated that hes not good for champs bc i want to ride him all the time. i have a lot of beloved horses though so i will just leave it at current obsession and heart horse for now.

Which Breed is your favorite? Which Generation is it from, and why do you love it so much?

it might be the ardennes. the appaloosa is also up there. in general i seem to like Nomi's horses bc they have the most personality, both in the model and animation, and also in the small details in the coats, all together it makes them feel more alive. i dont like the ones that lack interesting mouth / tongue / eye / nose animations, and i dont like ones that have too undetailed coats (which looks plasticky to me). also i love hairy horses so ardennes hits a lot of points for me.

Check out this weather map. It's a dragon! The center patch of blue lake (just above but touching the green) is its head, long snout facing to the right / east.

Dream Of Success

[bigogles]

check dis out c: 

[juni-ravenhall]

i need u to know that MorningDream was my dream horse when i started playing sso but ive never actually loved them until this month.

when i started playing sso i would occasionally see this horse around and everytime i would be like !!!! HOLY SHIT !!!!!. i decided to not buy *any* horse until i could get that horse, it was the only one i really wanted from all i’d seen at the time. (when i started playing i think it was kinda right before gen3 horses started coming out? idk)

i looked it up online, hm, new hillcrest, i hadnt unlocked that yet, but not surprising since i hadnt unlocked anything much. i thought id get to it relatively soon if i just kept playing. i set my mind on not buying anything else bc nothing could compare.

bit by bit i found out it was going to take very forever to get to nh actually, but at least i liked playing the game so whatever, i would get there. but after a while i saw the morgan horses and fell for one of those, so i ended up buying it, then i got a blue magic horse bc i thought it was funny, then i got an old pony for reasons i dont remember... 

when i eventually got to new hillcrest, i was really excited bc it had taken me so long to finally reach this personal goal, and there i was, and there the beautiful, gorgeous friesian sport horse was. i suffered about naming it bc it was important to me - i thought about naming it “evening star” which is one of my imaginary horse ocs that isnt in sso, a friesian but the coat isnt the same - i decided to go for “morning dream” which felt like a similar vibe name - i bought it.

i went back home to my stable.

i DIDNT like this horse’s face. i really, really didn’t like it. i stared at it, got up and went for a ride, and i tried really hard for a few days. we weren’t clicking. i couldnt handle that face. and doesnt the whole horse look kind of plastic? (by this time the first gen3 horses were out)

i put morningdream back in their stall and gave up. very disappointed after all that work, but at least i was now a proper sso player and enjoyed other stuff so the legendary new hillcrest friesian wasnt my whole reason for playing anymore.

cut to years later, the past few weeks. since gf started playing ive actually ended up levelling up almost all my horses to 15 due to playing a lot together and competing against each other to do stuff in game. one of the last few horses to finish levelling is morningdream, left at level 4.

i sigh and get up on the horse, go to the closet and pick out some cute tack. .... wait, but this is really cute actually. i work on it some more. wow. morningdream looks super pretty when i just cover up the face a bit with a pretty bridle!!! and sure they look kinda plastic, but now thats a vibe!!! they look like a perfect christmas toy horse that i wouldve loved when i was 10!!!

i go meet gf to do our dailies and ride around, gf loves the look too. i feel excited riding morningdream and we look great. 

it took like 3-4 years or something but i finally got to experience the actual love i thought i would feel for this horse back when i started playing.
