Meeting Up [Griffin/Open]

[Deleted]

[ Griffin and up to two others ]

Having recently returned to DeathClan after his little adventure in Twolegplace, Vortex was eager to see what had happened in his absence. What better place to hear about recent news than the main clearing? Although his half-brother, Drought, frequently held meetings here, cats were still allowed to hang around and chat. DeathClan had no true camp, but this was still the heart of the territory.

As Vortex stepped into the clearing, he twitched his tail and glanced around. The scent of cats was fresh. Unfortunately, there didn't appear to be anyone else around. Feeling somewhat disappointed, the brown-and-white youngling plopped himself down on a flat rock and began to groom himself. Perhaps someone else would arrive soon.

[Griffin]

(Your DC now? I guess Drought took favor in you since YOUR PLAYED BY THE SAME PERSON XD)
 Griffin swatted a lumpy rock, watching it skitter across the ground and come to a stop a few feet from her. She padded up to it and swatted it again, her paw connecting with the stone and sending it sailing across a decaying log that was blocking her way. Griffin leapt up on the log, digging her claws into the soft bark in order not to lose her balance and glanced at the ground. The rock she had swatted earlier was nowhere to be found. Instead, she looked up and saw a brown and white tabby tom grooming himself on a flat rock.
 Griffin leapt down from the log and cautiously approached the youngling. She was unsure what his reaction was going to be. She had just joined the group, and didn't know whose territory was whose. "Hello." she meowed in a small voice, "What are you waiting for?"

[ Vortex has always been in DC... But yeah, he's royalty because of the fact that he's a half-brother to Drought. xD ]

Vortex looked up in surprise when he heard a voice. A young she-cat stood before him. Straightening up, he blinked at the calico. This cat must be new. She looks a little lost.

"Greetings. I was just waiting to see if anyone would show up here," the American Shorthair responded. "I've never seen you before, though. Who are you?" Despite his curiosity, Vortex resisted the urge to ask where Griffin was from. No one was born into DeathClan these days, so everyone had their own unique origins.

[Griffin]

(I just realized I have a custom title. I have an inkling that Drought is obsessed with custom titles XD Don't view it as an insult Leo)
 Griffin looked at the tom. He seemed about her age, though it was obvious that he  had more experience with the land and cats. After hearing him talk, she replied, "I'm Griffin. And who might you be?" She was still wary with the tom, since you never knew who might turn out as the enemy, not in Deathclan.

[ Custom titles are actually a really great way to keep track of ranks, since DC cats don't have their own stars. This way, you don't have to look at the roster to check someone's rank~ ]

His tail swished across the smooth surface of the rock when the calico youngling spoke. "Griffin, huh? Nope, doesn't ring a bell. My name is Vortex." The tom shrugged; this peasant must have just joined since he'd never even heard the name in passing. "So what brings you to DeathClan? Heard about Drought's plans and wanted a piece of the action?"

[Griffin]

(I get it  )

Griffin sat down, curling her tail over her paws. She had to be careful with those questions-they didn't sound harmless. What if the tom was a spy for Drought or something? She thought it over for a second, then replied "I came here because I thought it would be better for cats to team up and work together, instead of being solitary and fighting your own battles. I find the community interesting." She meowed, then paused, and continued, "It seems nice to get to meet some other cats. You know, I think you'll be lonely of you aree just a loner."
(Just gonna rp her so that she never heard of the clans before. She'll find out later.)

[Deleted]

Vortex grunted slightly. "Work together? Sure, we might be united under the same leader, but it's not all smiles and sunshine here. If you wanted an easy life, you should have gone to Twolegplace instead." Getting to his paws and stretching, the youngling kept watching Griffin. He briefly wondered whether she would react to the half-hidden challenge. You sound like you're better suited to kittypet life.

[Griffin]

(Gonna pretend she didn't)
 Griffin shifted her paws at Vortex's sharp tone. It made her uneasy to think of what could go wrong in Deathclan. "Well, I want to stay in Deathclan." she insisted, though her voice betrayed that she wasn't sure. "Kittypet life may be easy, but it's boring. You just wake up, eat, do whatever the twoleg puts in front of you, eat, and go back to sleep." she paused for effect, then continued, "Plus you never get to taste mouse or any other living creature. All you get to eat are pellets."

[Deleted]

It was easy to see that Griffin had grown uncomfortable. "Sure about that?" the white-and-brown tom questioned. "It's all too easy to get yourself killed out here; the same cats that you ally yourself with might be happy to betray you. Better prove yourself fast, or they'll start thinking of you as easy prey." Vortex began to circle the she-cat slowly, as if daring her to do something.

[Griffin]

(Just so you know, I'm intentionally rping like this)
 Griffin was getting uneasy with Vortex. He acted like she was a hostage, a cat who was asked a lot of questions. "I'd better go." She stammered, and turned around to pad into the trees. 
(End of thread?)

He watched her go through narrowed olive-colored eyes. What a suspicious little cat. Seems like she's hiding something... I think I'll have to keep an eye on her.

[ End of thread. Shoot me a PM if you want to continue somewhere else. ]
