Who is Sangrat? I know this blog mentions them exactly once, but I'm curious. They give off quite some Tao vibes...

Sangrat is a character created for an RP with OttonandPooky/@p-pooky, where the twins Ottimo and Tuborg embark on a journey to find their abducted parents. They create two somewhat sentient beings during the journey: the rock giant Rockmoss (made of rock and moss) and cat-like creature whose front half disintegrated, Sangrat (made of sand and nettle). The twins slapped a pair of eyes on the cat's pelvis, and voila. Sangrat's chief character trait, as far as I can remember, is that she can run fast. The Tao vibes are entirely accidental and possibly caused by the ring on her "forehead".

Up close and personal with annoying shoppers.

At one time I lived in a shitty apartment in a very fancy part of Montreal. The grocery stores near me were either small organic independent shops, or one large but expensive grocer. We're talking prices like $5, on sale, for a single red pepper. What I saved in rent went to my food budget.

The stores could charge this amount because their regular customers were very well off. Rich Montreal Quebecois have a certain air about them. Rude, aloof, and full of themselves. Going shopping was a lesson in patience until I learned how to amuse myself and not get flustered.

For some ungodly reason, the grocer was the socializing spot for these rich people. Every isle had groups of people chatting away with each other or had people on their phones. They would be sort of polite and hug the walls, but they would never move from their spots. If I needed a can of chickpeas, I'd point behind them and politely say excuse me. So meek and unassuming- my downfall. They would hold up a finger and imply that I should wait until they were done. They were never done.

After months of trying to get my shopping done in a reasonable amount of time, I had enough. If they were going to be rude, I would be too... but in the pettiest and most uncomfortable way possible. My new attack plan was this. I would ask to grab the item, and if they didn't move, I would grab it anyway! But oh no, I wouldn't just push past. I got way up in their personal space. I would step as close as possible, with my face right next to theirs, and reach with my arm on the other side of their head. We might as well have been kissing, it was that close. Then I'd move on and continue my shopping.

I made it a game- how uncomfortable I could make them but still be as respectful and polite as possible. 10/10 would recommend. The looks on their faces as they were forced to pause their conversations were priceless. I'm just an ignorant English girl after all. No one ever confronted me on my etiquette. And I cut my shopping time in half.

"[Lafcadio] Hearn's interest was in the Buddhism of common [Japanese] people, and one of the things he found — much to his delight — was a rich set of names for things. Through Hearn's eyes and writing we can glimpse something of an era when the multiple creatures of the world were still somewhat wrapped in protective nomenclatures. It did not lead to prohibition against use; but it did instill a sense of reverence and restraint.

Hearn recorded many of the names in use at the time. Rockmoss was the fingernails of the Buddha. Swamp-cabbage was Bodhidharma's plant. A certain type of oak was that of the Arhat. Grasshoppers were creatures upon which the blessed dead rode back to town for their midsummer visits with pleased relatives. The Japanese warbler was imagined to be calling out 'hok-ke-kyo,' the title of the holy Lotus Sutra. Even the hammer-head shark was referred to as a priest of the Nembutsu chant because its T-shaped head resembled the mallet used to strike a gong during their prayers.

In reading this today one wishes to wrap or rewrap the whale in some kind of protective name. Could it not be called Serene Bodhisattva of the Sea?"

MOON 1 - OUTER BORDER

Daisyshadow seemed a bit distracted lately. Finchstar breathed out a sigh of relief when seeing her go with her apprentice. They were going to go hunting, and that left...

Lightningpaw and Lichenpaw sat together chatting. Petuniaclaw had asked if it was okay for the quartet of them to go to the outer border- the apprentices were getting used to the interclan borders, but the outer border hadn't really been touched by them yet.

Finchstar had agreed to the idea. It was wonderful! Plus, Lightningpaw was catching on really quick! The outer border need to be checked too- it was where that thunderpath was, the one where the outer barns and twoleg places were. They didn't need non clan cats getting any ideas.

Hah. Only a moon and she was already defensive. She should take it easy.

"Hello you two." Lichenpaw looked up to Finchstar at her introduction. "The leader and deputy are going to take you out to the outer borders! We really need to cover those more often."

Lightningpaw jumped to his feet, bolting to Petuniaclaw's side. The dark gray tom purred with amusement, and Lightningpaw danced around the deputy gleefully. Finchstar laughed, letting Lichenpaw get up at her own speed.

"Let's get going, shall we?"

Out of the camp, over some logs, up a short hill- the part that was divided by the river to Downclan's territory. With that, they marked that border, chatting about how Downclan was starting to gain a more... rocky scent.

"Kinda silly, right?" Lightningpaw muttered, walking forward to where the trees were starting to thin out, along with the rockiness of the outer border. "There's a clan with a leader and deputy called Rockstar and Stonemoss-"

Lichenpaw interrupted, "Stonestar and Rockmoss."

"Whatever! And yet Downclan's getting the groundy scent? Weird!" Lightningpaw laughed, and the orange tom bounded forward. "Now, let's-"

He didn't get to finish his sentence. A cat leaped out of the bush he had paused in front of, slamming him into a tree. Finchstar stumbled back, getting into a protective stance. It was the right choice- another cat, from another direction, leaped and landed right where Finchstar once was. The cat quickly pivoted and, with their claws out, sliced across Petuniaclaw's neck. The blood splattered across the forest floor, highlighting the cat's white fur.

Lightningpaw's tail froze, and he started to whimper. A claw strike from the dappled cat that was holding him caused red streaks to line his face. His eyes were shut. "Shut up, stupid invader."

"This was our land," The white cat with bloodstained paws spat, and Finchstar fought the urge to look down at Petuniaclaw's body. If she did, she wouldn't be able to fight back. Lichenpaw backed away, blinking rapidly. Her tail was between her legs.

Finchstar scowled. "We have a right to protect each other."

"You are stepping out of line!" The white cat snarled, and the dappled cat once again struck at Lightningpaw.

The red, dripping down the tree he was slammed against. Him, slamming against the floor. The dappled cat chuckling.

The dappled cat was saying something. It was falling on deaf ears.

Finchstar, feeling that swelling in her bones. Her teeth curled. Her claws came out. "How dare you. He wasn't done growing yet."

"Your fault-"

Finchstar flung into battle, hissing. The white cat clearly wasn't expecting that, and Finchstar aimed for every vulnerable spot she could. Shoulders, legs, belly, ears. The white cat screamed, managing to get away, and the dappled cat blinked in surprise before launching themself at Finchstar as well.

Lichenpaw leaped over Finchstar, claws swiping down over the dappled cat's eyes. The dappled cat reached up to swipe, but Finchstar ducked low and sliced at their paws. The cat ran in a direction, bonked into a tree, then ran away from the scents of Finchstar and Lichenpaw.

Lichenpaw ran for Lightningpaw, pressing her head into his. Lichenpaw's tail lowered, her paws starting to turn red from the blood pooling from his side.

"H... He's..." Lichenpaw's voice shook. It never shook that much before. Her confident, calm voice would never return. "H-H... He's..."

Finchstar pressed her head to Petuniaclaw's head. It was cold- any breathing had already stopped. The neck strike had gone deep.

"... We should bring their bodies to camp." Finchstar whispered. "Can you handle that?"

A sniff. Lichenpaw shook out her fur, before leaning down to pick up the back of Lightningpaw's body. She turned around to face Finchstar, tears in her eyes. A nod. Finchstar leaned down to grab Petuniaclaw's body similarly. Back to camp.

Back to bring bad news.

They needed to mark that border more often.

They needed to be more careful.

Events Referenced: As they mark the border, a group of rogues confront the patrol. The surprise makes Petuniaclaw and Lightningpaw easy pickings. The bodies are already cold when the rogues get scared off.
