all of the shine just faded away

Melodysong was bored.  She had been sitting in this hellhole of a barn for days on end.  She had been pacing back and forth around the barn, looking for a cat or two to chat with.  She preferred to talk to a warrior...she wasn't in the mood for the little ones right now.  Melodysong stopped dead in her tracks when she finally saw a camp enter the barn.  It was a warrior, one she hadn't met before.  She rushed up quickly, before he could escape.  "Hello!" she said energetically.  "I'm Melodysong.  Who are you? she asked.  She realized that she was acting like a maniac kit, but she couldn't care less.  She'd been to bored for to long.

[Duskrise]

The barn was boring.

Duskrise still hadn't been able to calm his constant alertness that had been present since Iceclan was forced from their territory onto the farm. His eyes always darted around, unable to remain in one spot. He'd been keeping to himself mostly, thinking he should probably refocus himself before trying to talk to anyone. But it wasn't working.

Maybe... If he talked to someone he'd be able to be... Well... Better.

The plan seemed to be... Familiar somehow. He couldn't place his paw on where it came up? When was it? He couldn't reach for the thought, so he decided to leave it. 

He'd been outside, trying to get some fresh air to try and calm himself. It made him feel better in a sense. Didn't really help him calm where it mattered to him. He'd been heading back inside the barn when some cat rushed up to him. Huh. So that's what it was like to be on this end. Usually he was approaching others with a big smile on his face.

He gave an awkward smile. "Hi! My name is.... Uh..." He was beginning to freak out just a bit. His name should be right there! He didn't like how it took him a moment to remember. "It's Duskrise! Yep. That's my name... Eheh..." He hesitated before cocking his head. "Uh.... Do I know you? You seem kinda familiar."

[Melodysong]

Melodysong chuckled at the older warrior's nervousness. "Duskrise, ah. The name rings a bell... but I'm not sure we've met before. As I said earlier, I'm Melodysong." She tried to think of where he might have seen her before, or possibly just heard of her. She hadn't been doing much out of the camp lately, because she'd been stuck in the nursery with her kits....ah, the nursery. The kits. Yep, that was probably why she seemed familiar to the cat.

She chuckled. "You might have heard of me. I'm a queen. You might've met my kits, Wollykit and Lakekit?" she phrased it as a question.


Edit: Just realized that we've roleplayed before, back when I was an apprentice: virtualwarriorworld.proboards.com/thread/85607/rivacy?page=1&scrollTo=1258587

I'll have her remember that conversation later in the thread.

[Duskrise]

Duskrise had no idea about the kits.

So, he was fairly sure he'd met or heard of Melodysong somewhere else. Where exactly, he couldn't put his paw on it. It was... A fuzzy far away memory. Old memory then. He cocked his head. 

"I think we've met. Not because of your kits.... But because we met, real and proper. Probably a long while ago."

[Melodysong]

Melodysong thought for a moment. A memory was coming back to her, though it was blurry. She realized that she had met this cat before.... but where? When? She remembered it was dark outside....and it was at their old camp... Duskrise had been much younger than he was now, which would have made her... and older apprentice. Ah, an apprentice. It was all coming back to her. "I remember now." she said with a smile. "I met you back before my warrior ceremony, back at the old camp. It was pretty late, and I was worried about my warrior ceremony, right?" she asked, wanting to confirm.
