Really happy with how I mixed the features of their kit / surrogate kit well, gotta say!

It seems bath day has been moved forward a few days! So, unaware of the stomach churning mischief of the Greys, Traa moves to join Pudd in guard watch. She knew Greys as hard to get rid of as a nest of scorchbeetles. No one needed to keep them out on their own. ( @of-stone-and-irons )

Pudd will wave a greeting to her sister-in arms, coaxing Traa over.

The grays have some really good things to talk about!

Crowsage, after Scorch says something familiar: heh you sound like my dad

Scorchkit: OUR dad

Crowsage, twenty-eight moons old: that will never not be weird

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Him! His bio father is Lovagecreek and his surrogate mother is Robinmask. I couldn’t decide which eye colour to choose, so heck why not both?

He’s twenty-four moons younger than his sister, Crowsage, but they act and squabble as if they were siblings close in age.

Thanks to @starfalcon555​ for coming up with Scorchbeetle’s name and existence

Scorchbeetle was four moons old when Crowsage was twenty-eight and it feels so weird for her to hear this tiny thing call her sister

They may have a great age difference, but they still act like siblings close in age--which is to say they squabble a lot

Who Do These Dark Kits Belong To?

Grand Kits is next! Just gonna do their names, since the irl owners can be a lot and hard to list!

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Oh lord I just had a horrendous idea

Polyclan wants kits but aren't sure who the father will be

So Ivoryburn goes to the one cat she knows will be willing to give multiple mollies kits at once

Good old Webstripe

there are a lot of males in the poly! (Bluerain, Doverose, Scorchbeetle, Dustwither)

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Polyclan members:

--Ivoryburn (female)

--Snakefern (female)

--Sparrowfall (female)

--Bluerain (male)

--Scorchbeetle (male)

--Doverose (male)

--Dustwither (male)

--Frozencoat (male)

[residents-of-the-darkforest]

Crowsage's sibling should have the suffix -beetle, bc Lovagecreek is scared of beetles

For some reason I'm feeling a fire-based prefix... Maybe Scorchbeetle?

ooh yes!

The names have such different energies too, one dark and calm, the other heat and tough
