Moon 208

Hushember is expecting!

Hunting disputes

Lots of death this moon

Splintershell has an infection

Frondlaurel becomes an elder

Apprentices!

Lupinepaw is name Lupinefox

Grief and shock

Ghostpaw is given the name Ghostspeck in honor of dying protecting the Clan. This does not count towards the name challenge

Do you have any critters or flora unique to this world/blog, and if so, could you tell us about one of them? :D

I sure do, lots of them! But here's one I haven't talked about before: Lilila'[click], or Ripplelight-(harmless)fish. They're a type of fish with long, rippling bodies, similar to ribbon eels, but bioluminescent both in a pattern of dots alongside their sides, and on the bulb ends of little stalks that grow along their bodies. Their faces are reminiscent of viperfish, which is terrifying, but like viperfish, they feed primarily on algae, scavenged meat, and small fish eggs, the teeth are for self defense, and the lights are for communication. They travel in spread out colonies rather than close knit schools, each within view of a few others, and they follow currents or vents.

Many sea kei believe that they are spiritual guides, and that following them to or in a current must be done cautiously and respectfully as they are finding their next soul to guide, and that one should not follow them once they break downwards from the current, as they are leading that soul to the realm of the dead. In reality, they are drifting downwards to search vents or loose sand for either eggs or scraps of neglected meat, and when heading upwards, they are finding a current.

That said, due to their need to scavenge widely, they have a high tolerance for dangerous environments and can become aggressive once followed into a hunting ground where they can't just feed off algae in the current and luck. On their own, they aren't dangerous, but they can make you bleed, and bleeding in the ocean while alone and im a possibility especially dangerous environment is a very bad idea on K'war, just as is the case on Earth. There is also a small chance they will swarm even if another predator doesn't take notice, so it is in fact not a good idea to follow them or try to touch them once they leave the current- they may in fact lead you to the 'realm of the dead'. Heading towards or actively in the current, they are generally harmless, and following them can help a kei find a good current to follow and rest in, though again, be cautious and respectful of them, and never feed them anything larger or more solid than loose algae if you don't want to accidentally risk sending it into aggression.

Despite the superstitions and danger, they are widely beloved, and when in the current, sea kei will often follow them and play by swimming circles around the fish or by playing with hoops around it. The fish in question will generally ignore them, but if they catch any indication the fish is bothered, those kei are backing off immediately and apologizing. After all, you wouldn't want to offend or anger a potential psychopomp. You have no way of knowing if its next soul to guide will be yours.

Rowankit almost joins the many other kittens that died this year

SplinterClan

the medicine cats find a queen and her kits! Talonkit was born without a tail!!!

Moon 187

Accessory!

Two new sets of mates!! (we're just gonna casually ignore how close ripple and storm are on the tree; I forgor when I was mediating them and they're like technically second cousins >.> I'm treating it as kinda like a dynasty thing in the sense that warriors arent against these sorts of relationships to strengethen family lines like rulers did back in the day and the twigstrike line is pretty big)

Apprentices!

Adorable moment with Cricket and Victoria

Funny spooky moment

[pikaclan]

Moon 173

Mantis flavor

Defending camp

Luckfoot x kittypet

Warmpaw has gotten failing eyesight, now learning to rely on herbs more with scent and touch

Adorable!

The clan seems to have a weak spot for lending herbs

Chirp and Warm chat about what starclan might want. Cricket joins in and they cant make sense of it seeing no danger

[pikaclan]

Lavenderstar and Valentinoraor have become mates

Conkersnarl succumbed to greencough, as did Wranglerfluff. All the kits have otherwise recovered

New kits! The fourth generation of the Twigstrike line is here!

Cute!

Lavenderstar has to boost morale but is anxious about it

[pikaclan]

Moon 164

Mass extinction is off once again

Beewish healed but now Cricketfrost has a twisted paw and Chirpsmoke has whitecough so we are down two medicine cats

Breezepond has recovered from greencough! He was likely the one to spread it cause he contracted it the same moon many died

Beewish is too focused on the safety of the clan for relationships

Dryears saved Boulderchaser from a hawk

Warmkit has one bad eye

Adorable????

[pikaclan]

Moon 163

Springhope is punished to camp for a moon

The greencough outbreak has not ended despite all the dead and the best efforts of the medicine cats. Beewish is also sick with whitecough

Rattlerun and Burnetdawn are mates! Burnetdawn is immediately pregnant

Just lots of hurt and sick this moon

The new warriors are (re)named Ripplelight, Sagepath, and Woodshade. Sage and Wood graduated early due to the need for warriors with so many dead and sick

Cute kit moment

thought this was an interesting prompt I've never seen it. Ripplelight was behind on his training cause his mentor was sick and then he got sick
