    ic: Anastasia was laying in her moss nest, down inside the tomb she called her den. Shadows flickered on the cool stone walls, almost as if they were dancing. The Empress enjoyed the sight; it was the main reason why she slept down underground instead of in the mausoleum, which was brighter and prettier.


    She pushed herself up, stretching her legs as she did so. Yawning, she sleepily trotted up the stone stairs that led out of her den. "Good morning, everyone!" she shouted, making sure that all of the Guardians and Novices heard her. Anastasia didn't want them sleeping in past dawn; extra sleep was wasting time.


    -


    With a yawn, Kai began to get on his paws, exhausted from lack of sleep. 'Why does the Empress always have to wake us up so early?' he thought grumpily.

    Flare, leaping out of her cozy nest, stretched gracefully in the morning air. It was dawn, practically still dark. The Slayer liked being awoken at dawn just as much as the next cat (or not), but she couldn't really argue with Anastasia. "Good morning, Empress." Flare mewed sleepily.[/fancypost]

    Hearing his Empress's voice, Moscow quickly trotted out of the shack to greet her. "Good morning Empress," he called back, inclining his head respectfully. His cold amber eyes scanned around the camp, looking for anyone who seemed to be straggling. Already he was going through a mental checklist of what needed to be done today.


    Of course his first order of business was to make sure the Empress was happy. "What's the plan for today, Empress?" he asked, padding over to stand before her.

    Anastasia acknowledged Flare with a nod of greeting, before turning back to her Advisor. She blinked, listening to Moscow.


    A small, possibly sly (although it was hard to tell with the Empress) smile spread across her lips, "I don't know, as much as it pains me to say it. Things have been... boring lately. A party would be entertaining, if we can find an occasion." Her mew was smooth, cunning even. The voice of someone eloquent, someone who could manipulate others just with their words. "Or maybe a battle, although bloodshed, at least on our side, would be terrible. And who would we fight?" she mused out loud.

    "Each other." Flare piped up. Her gray fur was still mussed from sleep, but she had thoughts anyway. "We could fight each other, with punishments for the loser and prizes for the winner." The green-eyed she-cat's eyes lit up at the prospect of winning, though now that she thought of it the Slayer would probably not be allowed to compete.[/fancypost]

    "An interesting idea," the Empress commented, making a mental note of it. Thinking about how it would work, her gaze returned to the Advisor, "Your thoughts, Moscow?" Paws still weak from sleep, Anastasia sat down on the moist morning grass in front of her den. A ray of sun filtered through the gray, almost stormy clouds, and her intelligent green eyes sparkled in the light. Her sleek pelt, a pale shade of slate, looked brighter and lovelier in the sunlight.

    Moscow nodded his head thoughtfully. They had no pressing enemies at the moment, but still needed to keep their claws sharp. "A fighting tournament of sorts would be just the thing to hone our skills," he said. The prospect was certainly enticing. "Perhaps if there are some who don't want to participate in the fighting, we could also have a hunting tournament?"


    "As for a celebration, we could tie that into the competition as well," he went on, the slightest smirk pulling at his mouth. "The winner of the competition could have a party thrown in their honor."

    "But the loser?" Flare pressed.[/fancypost]

    Anastasia nodded, before adding in her own ideas, "Of course, there could be no deaths. As interesting as it would be to watch, we wouldn't want to be losing valuable Guardians. Any fatal blows or attempts to murder someone will get you disqualified." The Empress paused to take a breath, before continuing her explanation. "There'll be... four competitions. Guardian fighting, Guardian hunting, Novice hunting, and Prisoner fighting- I'll explain that later. Guardian fighting will be the main competition, although if we have any wimps among us who don't want to fight, they can participate in Guardian hunting instead. Novices will have a hunting competition, since I don't trust them not to claw each other's eyes out. The prisoners will also have a competition... they'll fight to the death, although they don't have to participate. The prize for this, however, is the ability to join our ranks as a Guardian, or a Novice if they're young enough. Satisfies the need for blood without killing off our members."

    "Certainly we can't just have whichever one fights better win and get to join us? They're prisoners, shouldn't we make sure they're trustworthy first?" Flare sat, her ears flicking in a way that showed she was thinking hard. "I don't think we should tell them what the prize is. So that we see which one really wants to win- not just in it for the prize of it."[/fancypost]

    From her position outside of the structure she resides in, Nakia listened to the discussion the other cats were involved in. A slight twinge of annoyance crept into her mind. I can't believe they'd be so inconsiderate. To plan such an event without any thought to how difficult it'll be for me? The fluffy she-cat sighed, and began to compile mental lists of everything she would have to prepare for the event. Marigold, cobwebs, poppy seeds.. did she even have any in stock? Nakia had only arrived a few weeks ago- she had inspected her surroundings diligently, making sure her new home was suitable for habitation. But she hadn't taken inventory of the shack. Her good mood suddenly dipped. How could she be so forgetful?

    Anastasia's intelligent green gaze flickered to the Slayer. After listening to Flare's suggestion, the Empress shook her head, a simpler way of saying no. "If they weren't motivated by freedom, why exactly would they risk their lives? Of course, there's the matter of testing their trustworthiness... I'm glad you brought that up." she quickly replied, her white-tipped tail curling around her paws. The she-cat took a break from speaking to ponder it, staring down at her feet like she always did when she was trying to think about something. Finally, discouraged, she sighed, "Any ideas?"

    [size=9pt][font=times new roman]Qing padded over to the cats. "What's this conversation about, empress?" the pale she-cat asked politely, her black, and white tail wrapping around her paws. This could be important, as well as interesting. Almost anything said, or done by the empress was interesting.

    Noticing the Slayer, Anastasia turned around. "Things have been rather boring around here, so we're planning a competition, or, rather, four competitions," the Empress replied with a small sigh, annoyed that she had to repeat herself, although as a Slayer, Quin deserved to know. It's the Guardians who they were trying to surprise. "Guardian fighting, Guardian hunting, Novice hunting, and Prisoner fighting."

    Qing raised her eyebrows. "May other positions join, other than Guardians?" the slayer asked. The she-cat was interested in fighting, maybe not someone from her tribe, but interested still. Prisoners would be fun to watch, wonder what fighting skills they have?

    "Yes, there should be others." Flare instantly agreed with her fellow Slayer. She'd been thinking that all along but didn't quite want to bug her leader about it. "And I have an idea to test the prisoners' trustworthiness. We could change the contest to tracking AND fighting, where we'd place the prisoners at two different spots and have them track and fight each other. This could go overnight, and of course we would have some cat tailing them at all times, but if they tried to escape the prisoner would automatically lose."[/fancypost]
    [/quote]

    "That could work," Moscow nodded to Flare. "We'd have to be careful not to let them know they're being tracked, however. That way we can see which ones are truly interested in joining the Tribe." Of course he felt like he should be one of the cats tracking the prisoners. He trusted himself to be able to take down any prisoner who used the competition as a chance to escape.


    He ran the ideas they had come up with over in his head again, trying to think of anything he'd missed. "Perhaps if the Slayers want to participate, we could have a separate event just for Slayers," he suggested. "You could battle each other as well, or perhaps I could set up an obstacle course for the Slayers to run. After all, it's not exactly fair for Slayers to compete against the normal Guardians."

    ooc: Whoops xD. I have fail moments a lot, so...


    ic: "Tracking the prisoners is a clever idea," Anastasia commented blankly, angry at herself because she didn't think of it, although it didn't show. "Maybe, to speed it up, the prisoners are given a minute to catch eachother's scents before the match begins? Overnight is too long." Glancing over at Moscow, she suggested, "Maybe we could make it so that the Guardians could participate in both hunting and fighting? I fear that even if the Slayers were to compete with them, we wouldn't have enough cats."

    "Yes, it probably would be too long overnight." Flare admitted. She didn't usually like to say that she was wrong, but it was extremely difficult if not impossible to win an argument with the Empress. "We could do the tracking as we do the Novices' assessments, where we have two or more cats following them at once. And.. well, an obstacle course sounds good because it would be a bit out of we Slayers' league."[/fancypost]

    "Then it's settled?" Anastasia asked, her ear twitching. Her green gaze flickered over to the two Slayers as she mewed, "And will someone please get Nakia and tell her that we'll need cobwebs, poppy seeds, and catnip? We'll need decorations as well... I'll take care of that." She then glanced over at Moscow, "I'm putting you in charge of the courses, for both the prisoners and the Slayers." The Empress' gaze swept the area, before she added in, "Any questions?"


    ooc: When would you guys like to have the competitions? We're going to need at least a couple of days, so that hopefully we can get some more members.
