CREATUREFEST JULY 2025

[AceOfNothing]

LORE

Moon 133
- Reedpaw is named Reedeagle as a full mediator. Fishpaw is named Fishfleck as a warrior. The clan cheers
- Scrubheart is surprised how involved Gillgorse wants to be in this, bringing her prey and sitting with her when it seems lonely. She's hoping for a small litter.
- Caakirimist joins the nursery, maybe a tab early, but her stomach hurts. Scrubheart enjoys the company, Gillgorse makes sure to bring extra prey.
- Dovedrift drifts off to sleep one night, and is found stiff in his nest in the morning. Hopefully it was peaceful.
- Arielecho doesn't see Tuftsand that way, and tries to reject the cat in a nice way.
- He whines to Wavestar later that he just misses his mate, she pats him on the head and let's him talk. She knows the feeling.
- Brinestripe, Kelpdrop, and Wavestar place bets on which cat will ask Arielecho out next. Everyone seems to want him, and they're allowed to gossip a little.
- A flood wrecks the camp. Brookmimic, Iceripple, Oceanswipe, and Flecktide are washed away in the currents.
- Wavestar attempts to comfort her deputy, but finds Heronclaw already helping out.
- While trying to find the missing cats bodies, Rayleaf charges Duckdawn and pushes them under a monster. 
- Clanmates see and rush back, howling. Wavestar is horrified, she sends Rayleaf on a solo patrol while figuring out a punishment. Quietly, she hopes he runs away, or brings back prey for the clan.
- He returns not long after, no prey. There's blood on his paws... Wavestar makes up her mind as he talks about the "pathetic loner" he fought and killed.
- Her son, named after her mate Rayshimmer, is banished. Rayleaf seems nonchalant, but vows revenge.
- Rayshimmer deserved a better cat to have his name.
- Waterstripe, Lightrapid, Stormcrash, Driftfuzz, Cavesplash, and Leaklily are shaken by all the death.
- Trout's ghost tells Rayleaf awful things as he sleeps alone

Moon 134
- Life must move on.
- Gillgorse helps Scrubheart through it all, and now they lay purring at their 2 kits. Salmonkit and Sardinekit, a tom and a molly.
- Caakirimist doesn't know how many kits she'll have, but she hopes her birth is as smooth as Scrubheart's.
- Wavestar always loves visiting kits. She notes faintly they're a little small, and asks Gill to make sure Scrubheart gets extra prey. He's happy to do so.
- No wonder the clan whispers about them potentially being mates, but Wavestar tries to get them to not stress the mother and her kits.
- Whalepaw is killed by Carrionplace disease. Sealeyes can hardly process the vigil.
- Pearlbubble and Drinkghost are new warriors.
- Palmpaw is given to Jellyfishheart to mentor
- Brinestripe and Heronclaw announce they've become mates. Some of the clan whispers that Brine moved on too quickly, some congratulate them.
- Brinestripe thanks Marinedapple for introducing them properly, in turn Marinedapple says to treat her brother properly.
-"Your... brother?" 
"Yes Heronclaw is my brother. He needed a mate, you two would be a cute couple, now we're here." 
"Huh???"
- Brinestripe needs to learn clan families
- Frogluarel tries to avoid Dewmoon asking him out.

Moon 135
- Arielecho breaks a bone fighting a fox and whines in the medicine den.
- Sharkdance fades day by day in her nest, until she is found dead. Wavestar just hopes that she felt ready.
- Caakirimist and Mikhailfish welcome three kits. Octopuskit,  Greenkit, and Sushikit. 
- Wavestar doesn't know what Sushi is but ex kittypet clanmates just say it's "fancy fish". Kits are cute even if the name sounds odd.
- Softbubble is expecting kits. 
- Riptidepaw is named Riptideshadow for his stealth
- After moons on the run, Spongeburr is tracked down and killed. He finds himself in the darkrapid, and growls at a kit who asks too many questions. 
- Riverkit has been here so long, she's starting to fall apart. Perhaps this was always unfair, perhaps this is mercy, but Riverkit fonds herself being moved to Starclan. She embraces Breezethistle, her mother, and sobs.
- Everyone tiptoes around Dewmoon after another rejection from Frogluarel
- Rayleaf enjoys being alone, he tells himself. Sure hunting isn't going.... great but he's fine.

Moon 136
- A drought is happening. Wavestar expects the worst.
- Softbubble is moved to the nursery. He hopes for a small litter, and acts childish about being told to sit still.
- Cavesplash retires to the elders den.
- Lobsterbranch leads a loner back to camp unknowingly. She takes the name Oleanderbubble.
- Wavestar has definitely seen her flirting with clanmates before, but the young molly won't meet her eye.
- Lobsterbranch did find her outside of clan territory, Wave makes him spend the week in camp.
- Drinkghost and Fogbuzz are mates!
- The drought takes Fishsun, Pearlyswirl, and Riverheart.
- Pearlyswirl reunites with Moonfluff in Starclan. Sealeyes cries alone in the leaders den for privacy.
- Egretdrop is taken out by a flood on the beach. He's gone before any car can even blink.
- Shellspeckle, Kelpdrop, Crawfishplume, and Jellyfisheyes are shaken by all the death.
- Wavestar trues to comfort her mate, and hopes Rayshimmer brings them relief.

Moon 137 
- Softbubble and Deliwave welcome two kits, Krillkit and Guppykit. They're overjoyed, Brinestripe and Wavestar visit all the cats currently in the nursery with fresh prey.
- Scaleblossom and Fishwhisker retire. Brinestripe is starting to really understand the elders as he watches Wavestar keep pushing herself. He realizes, maybe a bit too late, that Wavestar was very young when she was given her role. This is all she's ever known, and... age is hitting her. He hopes if he ever must take her place he can be half as special.
- Tropicpaw is given to Fogbuzz to mentor, and is bouncing off the walls with excitement.
- A sick senior tom named Creamgrass is brought back by a patrol. Carrionplace disease, the only other time Wavestar heard that was Whalepaw. She doesn't have high hopes.
-Kombuchacreek and Frogcove join the clan. A molly and a tom.

138
- Having lost their adoptive mother Duckdawn to Rainfern's awful ex mate Rayleaf, Rainfern and Lobsterbranch hear whispers their birth father Windhiss has died.
- Lobsterbranch only faintly remembers being called a curse. He looks at his tail nub now and shakes his head, hoping he never sees the other tom in Starclan. Duckdawn never called him a curse, she was a wonderful mother.
- Ripplepaw is named Ripplegaze and celebrated for Loyalty.
- Breezepaw is mentored to  Riptishadow, and Dunepaw is mentored to Flukedawn. He beautiful sons already far too grown, Wavestar thinks. She hopes for the best for them.

Moon 139
- Hunger. Exposure to the elements. Bigger stronger cats, angrier cats. Cuts, bites, scrapes, bruises... Hunger. Rayleaf was not made for life outside a house, and not outside a clan. He was never much of a swimmer, but desperate times and stupid hunger leads to him drowning.
- He finds himself swimming out of the dark rapid, former clanmates snickering and sneering. A youngster in over his ears.
- Wavestar and Kelpdrop hear of the death from loners, they grieve quietly away from the clan.

Moom 140
- Salmonpaw is mentored to Toadslip, and Sardinepaw is mentored to Scrubheart
- It's only a few days later when Sardinepaw decides to switch to a medicine cat apprentice, Rapidfern is happy to have her. She apologizes to her mother, but Scrubheart believes it's a wonderful idea. 
- Wavestar stays with Kelpdrop, bringing him prey in the medicine den. He's been in a lot of pain lately.
- If any cats notice, no one mentions tears in her eyes.
- Shellspeckle is not handling the news that the fox he fought has permanently blinded him in one eye. He tries not to wince looking at the scarring, cats try their best to comfort at least.

Moon 141
- Lilypadswirl is expecting kits!
- Octopuspaw, Greenpaw, and Sushipaw are apprenticed to Turtlescreech, Otterstripe, and Snapdragonfloat.
- Flukedawn really thought Arielecho would give him a chance. Wavestar and Brinestripe have to bring Kelpdrop the biggest birds they can find.
- A patrol finds a cat and her four kits stuck in a two leg contraption in the water. They manage to save the kits, but the mother was protecting them and... was not able to be saved. 
- Wavestar welcomes the kits to the clan. Scalekit, Driftkit, Cuttlekit, and Puddlekit

Moon 142
- Yellowcough takes Gillgorse and Shantyspirit's life.
- Scalepaw to Scrubheart, Driftpaw to Pearlyspot, Cuttlepaw to Mikhailfish (medicine cat), and Puddlepaw to Marinedapple (mediator)
- Marinedapple seems on edge, Brinestripe asks what's wrong. She just says its... nightmares. Asks if Brinestripe will keep Heronclaw away for a moon.

HI THE SOAP OPERA IS BACK


Less cats this time now

So we start with the leaders son committing murder in front of people and ends with the deputy's mate committing murder in secret. I do not know what I'm gonna do with this. I like Brinestripe, I really need to think about if Wavestar will keep him if it gets out that his mate was a murderer. 

Im so so so sad about Arielecho and Sealeyes. My babsssssss. 
Wavestar is still kicking
