Mama, we're all gonna die // Open

[Patch]

Patch was hanging around Deathclan for a bit, her eyes were unable to see now with the cobwebs, but whatever. Life was... Strange. She didn't know what to do with herself, she didn't want to do anything. She was lying near a bush when her thoughts were interrupted by another cat.

"Um... Hey." She said quietly, raising her head from her paws.

[Deleted]

Static was huffing loudly. She hadn't stumbled across anyone new in a while... Which meant no one to fight! Which was super lame... Her little tussle with that cat Holly... That had been great! She hadn't had any similar experiences recently succeeding that which was not great. She sighed when she smelled a cat! She bounded over and around a bush. 

".... Oh." She paused, for once, not getting ready to fight. First of all, she'd already fought this cat... Secondly, they were injured. Heck, she wasn't sure if Patch could see! She had a bunch of cobwebs over her eyes! She wondered why.

[Patch]

Patch snorted as she heard Static's voice, she didn't want to fight? Eh, at least she took advice. She shifted her head in the direction of the cat and flicked an ear. "Hey kid. How's life?" She asked casually.

[Deleted]

Static huffed. "You're hurt! I'm not so happy to fight I'll mess up a cat in a state like your's!" She protested as she took a seat next to Patch. She tilted her head. "Well... A while back I fought a cat named Holly! It was awesome! They seemed to be as into it as I am!" As she recalled the encounter, excitement sparkled in the gray and black she-cat's eyes. Which quickly faded, as her ears and entire expression drooped. "But I haven't found anyone to fight since..."

[Patch]

Patch laughed to herself, lifting herself up in a sitting position. She shook her head and shrugged, "I'm fine, it's healing quickly. And I'm glad you had fun." She replied, smiling. To be honest, she was glad Static wasn't getting into many fights, she didn't want the kid to be hurt or worse. But she could never say that out loud.

[Deleted]

Static's tail waved excitedly behind her. "Thanks!" She chirped in response. She tilted her head. "But hey! How'd you get hurt? Lose a fight?" She asked. Though, to Static fights were more like a hobby... So she didn't sound all that concerned.

[Patch]

Patch shrugged, flicking her tail from left to right. "I wouldn't say I lost the fight, but yeah." She confirmed, shifting her head in the direction of Static. "... Why do you like fights so much, if I may ask?"

[Deleted]

Static's eyes sparkled in excitement. "I love fights because it's so exciting! It gets the blood pumping in every sense of the word!" She rambled. "But mostly it's part of my ambition to be the best fighter out there! Can't get better without doin' it... Right?"

[Patch]

Patch thought over what the kid said, she flattened her ears. "Fights aren't always fun, kid... Sure, it gets blood pumping, but for the sake of your own safety." She replied, "You can train, you can get better without attacking anyone. I was a lot like you when I was a small kit, and believe me, fights were fun until I saw the limit." She finished, ending slightly harsh.

[Deleted]

Static huffed and flattened her ears. "What?! No way. I might get soft if I just do it by myself!" She protested. "I don't care if I get a little scratched up! Besides, if I have battle scars cats will know I'm serious!" She chirped happily. It was clear that Patch was not going to deter Static from her er... Lifestyle.

[Patch]

Patch shook her head, almost ready to smack this kid in the face. "But think about the other cats you are attacking! What do you think they feel when another clanmate attacks them with claws!" She said, she took a deep breath and shuffled back, keeping herself from slashing out.

[Deleted]

Static huffed. "We're not the clans!" She protested. "We're just a bunch of rogues sharing space who are all kind of sort of not really allied together." She pointed out. "Holly seemed fine with it!"

[Patch]

"We're not the clans!"


Patch was more bothered by Static's statement then she should of. She felt her claws unsheath, but she stayed put. She wasn't going to attack this kid. "Other cats aren't fine with it, Static. Bloodshed may have ruined their minds with their dead family and what they've been through!" She stated.

[Deleted]

Static gave Patch a dirty look. "Where'd this come from, all of a sudden?" She asked suddenly. "You're not going to stop me. Fighting is what I want to do. It's why Deathclan is here." 

[Patch]

Patch felt her fur stand up, she backed up more. "Most cats in this 'clan' have dead families, most of them have been through traumatizing things. And fighting isn't just what Deathclan is about, we just have the reputation for it." She replied, she thought of Pain. Fireclan didn't fully trust him, he was a rouge at heart, Clanners don't accept cats like that.
