Glow [All Welcome]

[Jackie Santiago]

((Yay for Psychosis's first rp! And of course I will be using Alexis for this rp. Anyone is welcome. Just try and make sure that the right species are here. Like a lioness wouldnt be found in the mountains XD Heh. For those who are unsure of what felines would be found here, check the resources section.))

The cool breeze that passed across the mountain barely pushed its way through the feline's deep and thick fur. The full moon was large and shined brightly in the clear black skies. With the slightly warming weather, some of the snow that littered the mountain had begun to melt toward the bottom regions. Large black paws made prints in the snow as she climed higher onto Mount Miaziden. Her long hair of which was parted off to the side began to sweep about her face with the passing breeze. A tired expression sat upon her face as she finally stopped her journey into the mountain to lay upon one of the larger boulders.

Alexis was no stranger to the mountains. This region had been her home since the day she was born. However, she had travelled to many of the other regions on this continent. She never strayed for too long however and always made her way back home. The snow began to seep through her deep fur beneath her but she was use to the feeling.

For some reason, the Mountains seemed oddly bare. Today not many creatures roamed about and she wondered why. As she looked off into the distance with violet eyes, she could see the soft glow and sparkle of the flying bugs below. A soft but tired smile spread across her face as she watched the colors dance about below in a familiar pattern. As time passed and the night continued on, Alexis laid there enjoying a moment of peace and solitude.

Zing

Alexis peace was about to be disturbed very quickly. The young cougar romped through the snow, causing it to fly up in the air, and fall like white, sparkling confetti. She pushed one black paw into the snow, and watched it disappear. At least the snow here was not all mudded up, as it was farther down. Zing did not like mud; it was far too hard to clean from her fur.

Her ears perked as she saw the soft outline of a paw print in the snow, and it certainly was not hers, for she was hardly walking, more like rolling around. Out of curiosity, she decided to follow the tracks. After all, she had nothing better to do but roll around in the snow, and she hated the awkward silence that hung around the mountain.

She trotted instead of walked though. Normally cats did not try to waste energy, but Zing almost constantly felt like she was over-flowing, so trotting did not bother her so much. Besides, she did not want to miss the other cat, in case they were still walking along.

She was in luck. She saw a darker form lying on a boulder, as cats often do. It was not the same type of cat that Zing was, but Zing was a particularly friendly animal and was not drawn away by this. Actually, she had never seen a cat like this before, and decided to investigate.

Zing walked cautiously to the cat. She knew it was more dangerous to walk up to a fellow cat than it was a deer, or some other animal. After all, she had never seriously been chased off by a deer, but had often run a long while just to get away from an angry feline. She watched for any sudden moves. She would know when it was time to run.

Standing a safe distance away, not sure if this one was friendly or not, Zing called out, “Hello!” Her tail twitched nervously as she waited for some kind of response.

[Sami-sama]

::Digital

The large leopard slowly sulked into the snow of the mountains. Her fur had become sparkled with the silver snow that littered the floor. She gazed onto the horizon, seeing no one. Just the icy air rinding around the mountain. It felt weird to her nose to finally breathe in the cold air again. Had she so long wished to venture through the snow again.

The feeling had left her during the time she was away. She lost her luster, the want to run through the snow. Was it because the cold now stung her nose? Or was it due to the fact that her want to go home had subsided? The answer was definitely unclear. She couldn't make up her mind as of now.

The sound of snow crunching caught her ear. She looked toward the noise and caught glimpse of the animal. It was an animal different from herself but still in the cat family. The cat quickly trotted away though, looking for something Digital presumed. But for what? What was out here in the barren mountains? She wanted to know.

The urge to follow quickly consumed her, as she found herself stepping to the direction of the other. Her eyes glanced down at the paw prints left behind. There was another kind, one bigger. Digital looked up, forward, to find who they belonged to.

In the distance she heard, "Hello!"

[<ooc>Can everyone read that?]

[Jackie Santiago]

Alexis had been softly laying her head on her paws before her sweet solitude was suddenly interrupted by an unknown feline. At first, she thought they couldnt possibly be talking to her. She honestly never thought anyone directed their attention at her. But soon she came to realize that they were greeting her. Upon realizing this, a sudden increase in her heart rate started up. Nervousness begin to settle in and she quickly looked down from the intruding female. Her ears pinned back softly as she looked back up at her again; fixating her brightly colored purple eyes on the white and black cougar.

"Hey."

Her words were short and she mentally kicked herself had how stupid she must have sounded. Alexis was honestly somewhat surprised that a cougar was even speaking to her. They generally did not sit well with leopards but perhaps this one was some sort of rebel. As the wind kicked up, another set suddenly passed by her nose. There was another female close by. The black panther was clearly stressed out by the presence of the unknown females but tried her best not to show it. She was torn between wanting to be left alone and longing for friends to hang out with.

"Who are you?"

She finally asked the cougar. The other female was not currently in her view so she did not address her. She figured that if she wanted to be seen, she would come out towards her like the other had.

[Raven Arya]

The cold did not bother her. Neither did the silence. But one lone salutation awoke a sleeping Raven from one of her rare good rests. Her long mane of black hair still touched the ground as she lifted her head, the blue tips dragging in the snow. Further down the mountainside were three forms, each female by their size. Another Black leopard rested on a boulder while a mostly white cougar spoke clearly, and another leopard kept her distance. The black and white panther hidden higher up on the mountainside continued to watch as they interacted.

Curiousity won the young female from her spot as she rose and shook the snow off that had collected while she slept. Tired eyes scanned the ground while she picked her way down, careful to avoid loose footing. Once at the same level as the two speaking felines, Raven sat and looked between the two, her face a neutral mask as she nodded to them both.

||OoC: The is the 4th time I’ve wrote/posted this, so sorry for the shortness. Grargh.||

Zing

Zing looked nervously at the large cat, her skin crawling slightly as she raised her head. She though her reaction was going to be a bad one when her ears folded back and she locked her sharp amethyst eyes on her. However, Zing was in for a surprise, especially when the cat actually greeted her.

She relaxed a bit, her hair actually falling back into place. She had a good reason to be nervous, big cats were nothing to fool around with. Lucky for her, this one only wanted to know who she was.

“I’m Zing,” she introduced herself with a cheerful tone. “And you are?”

Suddenly, another crawled down a side, and Zing backed away. She hoped these two weren’t together. She was outmatched and outnumbered. Not that there would be any fighting. Zing would high-tail it out of there if it came to that.

“Is it always this busy around here?” She asked with a nervous laugh.

[Sami-sama]

::Digital

She crept towards the other females. She was a bit suprised to see that the white one had been a cougar. The other one seemed to be the same breed as her self so she could finally be at easy.

She approached the back of the cougar and walked by her, sitting suddenly. Usually she could give a care less about who was who but she was feeling curious today. She acknowledged the three with a smile and awaited for the conversation to take way. That was if there would be a conversation.

her eyes scanned the area but she saw no one else. Was it just them? She was expecting to see some huge brute walking around saying he owned the snow. But it was just a group of females. How nice. No one to intrude on them and act like he was better. It seemed stereotypical of her but it was just that way. She had not met any male leopard who was actually caring.

[Jackie Santiago]

Alexis saw the other panther coming down the mountain out of the corner of her eye. At first, she avoided looking at the female but once she had sat down in front of her, she finally made eye contact. Raven was the same species as she was so it was common that they would greet one another without much of a problem. She nodded in return, figuring that if she really wanted to speak her name she would. She now moved her attention towards Zing once she began to speak again.

"Nice to meet you Zing. My name is Alexis."

At her comment, she couldn't help but also give a bit of a nervous chuckle. They certainly were creating quite the gathering. Social situations tended to make the panther fairly nervous so her heart beat had kicked up a notch. She played it off fairly well and tried to appear as comfortable as possible.

"It actually really isn't. Im surprised."

Now that the other leopard finally appeared, she gave a small smile in return. Alexis hardly ever expected that she would attract any attention. Despite her rare and appealing appearance, she was not confident in herself in the least. So the slightest bit of attention always surprised her. Deep down, she welcomed it completely.

"Do you all live here? Or are you just travelling?"

She meant her question to everyone who came to this little gathering.

[zing]

"Do you all live here? Or are you just traveling?"

Zing glanced nervously around at the others, and then let out a slight breath before answering, “I live here.”

She sat on her haunches, her hind end chilled slightly by the snow. For the most part though, she was used to it. She would never know how lucky she was to have a fur-covered butt.

Well.This is awkward, the white cat thought to herself. She was less edgy than she had been moments ago, but she was still cautious. Normally she would be friendly…if there was only one of them.

Alexis seemed nervous as well, though Zing was not sure if it was for the same reason. The cat began to speculate that perhaps Alexis was on the run and someone was trying to catch her. It was fun to imagine, anyways.

[Sami-sama]

::Digital

"Oh, my name is Digital," she said, having forgotten about introducing herself. She smiled at the spiral pelted leopard and nodded, "I live....well lived here. I left for some time and just returned," she said with a gentle sigh. Looking over to Zing, she nodded once more, acknowledging that she also lived here.

Then her eyes wandered over to Raven. Was she a local too? That would be nice- meeting so many people when she returned. Hopefully there would be no conflicts and they could all stay on good terms. Digital didn't mind having friends but she wasn't sure what real friends were anyhow.

"What about you?" she asked, looking at Raven and then Alexis.

[zing]

Zing’s eyes traveled the group. Then she noticed something. Digital had different colored eyes, just like her! Well, that was certainly a coincidence. She wanted to point it out, but she didn’t want to end up talking over Digital.

"What about you?" Zing heard Digital ask.

Zing’s head followed Digital’s as she looked over the other two. Zing was starting to throw her caution to the wind. After all, if someone had wanted to kill someone else it would have happened already. At least that’s what the cougar hoped.

Zing herself didn’t ask anymore questions, she was curious as to whether these ones were just traveling or if they called this place home as well. She secretly hoped that this was their home. She was starting to like these big cats.

[Viaso]

Viaso had been walking by himself for a while, just exploring and seeing what was going on right now. He was walking not too far from Alexis and them, but he didn't see them, or hear them, yet. He kept his pace a slow and steady one, just walking to keep himself in shape, but he perked his ears as he heard, what sounded like, his sister's voice. He then turned around and was now facing there direction, but he still didn't see them. He decided to check it out. he went there way at a jogging pace, then he seen that he was behind his sister and she was on a rock. He could use this to his advantage.

He perked his ears as he heard his sister ask the others if they lived here or not. "Heheh you know I live here Alexis!" He smiled and looked at his sister, she probably wasn't expecting to see him right now. He moved to where he was on the side of the rock she was laying on, and he noticed the three other felines. He was the only boy here so far. He then sat down and looked at the other felines. One was a cougar and two of them were leopards.

He wondered what his sister would say about him showing up. Would she be shocked, because maybe she didn't expect to se him right now, or would she just be like usual, knowing her brother too well to where she couldn't be shocked.

[Jackie Santiago]

Zing was the first to answer her question. She had never seen the female here before but not that she knew she lived here, it was likely that they would randomly bump into each other at some other time. Normally, she didn't notice others when walking through the mountains for the simple reason that she tried not to draw attention to herself. Unless someone directed themselves towards her, she kept her head low and avoided contact. It was possible that they may have passed each other at some other time and neither had noticed.

So it now appeared that Digital had also lived here for some time. However she had left for her own personal reasons. Perhaps it had grown too cold? The winter was rough around these parts and often they had to move to lower altitudes so that they wouldn't turn into kitty ice cubes. At Digital's following question, she nodded quickly.

"Yea I've lived here my whole life. I do travel to other areas sometimes..."

Alexis did not want to give too much information about herself. Afterall, these were all strangers still that she had only just met.

"Why had you chosen to leave and what brought you back?"

Almost as soon as the words came from her mouth a familiar voice sounded from behind her. She quickly turned the top portion of her body around so that she could look at Viaso. He began to climb down besides her and she rolled her eyes in annoyance. He always had a way of sneaking up on her at the most inopportune times. He found pleasure in shocking her so she refused to acknowledge that she had not been expecting him to show up.

"What do you want?"

Her tone wasn't rude but merely questioning his motives. Lexi glanced back over to the group and softly kneeded her paws in the snow to calm her nerves. She had to admit, she felt a little more comfortable with Viaso around even if he annoyed her to no end.

[zing]

Zing’s ears swiveled as she heard another voice. Her white fur stood on end. She couldn’t believe there was another one coming. Well, this certainly was a town meeting! Well, if you considered this the “town”.

Alexis seemed to know this yellow colored one though, so Zing felt it was safe to let out a little sigh of relief. In fact, she almost seemed a little a little annoyed by his presence. That told Zing that they must have been close to each other.

“Apparently you two know each other,” Zing said in a-matter-of-factly tone. She glanced between the two, Alexis and this strange new sun colored newcomer. Well, he may not be new to the mountains, but he was new to her.

The cougar glanced up at the mountainside. The snow seemed slightly disturbed by their feline voices. Small chunks were chipping off and the hard snow plopped on top of more soft

She wondered if someday the big chunks might fall. If they did, those blocks of ice would crush any animal that stood underneath them. The thought made her shiver and she moved closer to the edge of the mountain before resting again.

[Sami-sama]

::Digital

Digital raised a brow to the newest feline that came along. She almost sighed, seeing that he was a male. She only hoped that he would be nicer than the ones she had met before. She only shook her head to clear her head. In order to not anger him or anything like that, she'd have to start off right?

"Well, hello there," she said gently, examining the yellow feline. He seemed to know Alexis who in turn seemed to know him too. She watched her roll her eyes and smirked, "Do you guys really know eachother? Siblings? Friends?" she said, giggling a bit.
