    [justify]The red-furred tom gagged on the strong scent markers as he headed through the trees. The acrid, overwhelming clan smell made his head spin. Well, it was either that or the hunger. His stomach grumbled loudly. What sin would it be to hang around with a clan for a few months, barely pulling his own load, until he was fed enough to run? He'd heard of clans, taking in cats and even other animals as though it were nothing, feeding them till they were fat and happy.


    His hunger and determination blinded him to the fact that he could not smell a single tom from the scents of the recent patrol. Even if he had noticed that, he would've told himself that that patrol just didn't happen to have any males.


    The foolish boy had no clue what he was getting himself into.[/justify]

    The scent of a tom filled her nostrils, acrid and stinking, magnified tenfold with her super senses. She was in a horrible mood right now. Daminals wanted to kill someone, but sadly she wasn't the killing type.


    But when a tom caught her attention, she was there in a few quick bounds, attempting to sneak up on him, and pouncing him, pinning him down. "Name and business?" she snarled in his ear, grey eyes flashing.


    She would never kill him, it wasn't in the snow leopard's nature- she was never above torture, though. "Tom," she added, with some contempt.

    [justify]A yowl left his mouth before he shut it, gritting his teeth and attempting to throw the weight off of his back. But alas, this, this thing was too heavy. After a moment, he stopped struggling. Even if he had been healthy and well-fed, this creature was just too large for him to wrangle. "Darius," he choked out. "I'm starving. I want to join a clan and actually have a chance to live. I don't want to hurt anyone." Best to be honest, right? Well, a little white lie here and there never hurt anyone. His tail lashed.


    Darius could not help but flinch at the way the female had spat his gender's title. "What's so wrong about being a tom?" He spluttered. "I'm just the same as you, it's just that my parts are different!"[/justify]

    "Parts and hormones," Dami pointed out, though that was slightly beside the point. Toms were, technically, fathers, and they pretty much were inferior in intellect and skills. It was true because everyone said so.


    That was what Radicalclanners believed, anyway. Daminals knew that most didn't really fully believe that. She had fallen for a male once herself, and... admittedly, she didn't hate them.


    But they were good for when she needed claw fodder. The snow leopard refused to get off the tom, yawning and trying to pat him on the head with a paw. "You could get food here. It only comes in a dark cellar. You can get a few scars thrown in for free, if you're lucky. If not, then not just a few scars," Dami informed him.

    [justify]Darius bit on his tongue to stop a snarky comeback, deciding only to roll his eyes. He said nothing, though, for a moment, before he groaned loudly. "You're crushing my ribcage," he hissed between his teeth, "I don't exactly have the strength to balance it."


    A few moments later, he felt a pat on his head. She was pretty much treating him like he was a little doll for her to drag around. The only difference here was that a doll was pampered. He didn't think he'd be so lucky. The imprint he was getting of this clan, or at least this girl, was that they were tomhaters. But why?


    "Uh, yeah, I have a question? How do you guys... Y'know, pass along genes? If toms are so beneath you, you wouldn't be sharing any catnip with them, I'm assuming." He strethed a leg out to pop his shoulder, then pulled it back against his chest. "Are you all lesbians who've found some crack shit way to breed?" He was already down; no reason to be kissing up, he doubted that would work.[/justify]

    Dami wasn't fazed by his tone, but she didn't exactly want to kill the tom. With an exaggerated sigh, the snow leopard removed her weight from the intruder, keeping a paw on his back, claws unsheathed and barely brushing his fur. He would know it was there, things like that were kind of hard to ignore.


    "I can see you're confused," the large panthera rumbled dryly, a sarcastic edge to her tone. "I was implying we keep males as prisoners, if you weren't intelligent enough to pick up my hint. Just because we don't like them doesn't mean we don't mate with them."


    Hey, if she had multiple possessions she would probably keep this tom for herself. He was amusing her, well, a bit at least. She wasn't raking her claws along his back yet- and when she was in this kind of mood, that was... something.


    [/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0tp; background-image: url(http://i.imgur.com/7sEn7A7.jpg?1?2134);background-position: bottom; width: 450px; height: 10px; border: 3px solid #1a1a1a; border-radius: 0em 0em 5em 5em;][/fancypost]

    [justify]Well, this might just be a little bit worse. He could sense the claws hovering only about an inch from his spine, and the nerves made his bright red fur stand on end. "I realise that," he replied to her quickly, though he in fact really hadn't realised that. "So is there any way out of being a prisoner?"


    The tom turned his head and got his first look at his attacker, and a smirk played upon his face. "You wouldn't hurt me... Right?" His ears flicked as he studied her face and build. "We're kind of unmatched. You're big and healthy and I'm small and scrawny. Plus, everyone knows red-furred toms have the strongest offspring. You can tell that to your queens."


    [I don't know if you've read the Hunger Games trilogy, but Darius is based off of Darius in the books. <3][/justify]

    Domino laughed out loud thus giving away his cover. Now that they knew he was there, he flicked off his invisibly. "Trying to wriggle your way out that way?" He shook his bicolored head. "Females won't want your offspring if you act like that. Females here can smell when you're kissing up to them." He rolled his emerald optics as if it weren't obvious already.


    [Oh, that's cool! c: I loved the Hunger Games.]

    The husky dog's eyes scanned over the tom. Of course, she had been told about the differences and faults of toms. Of course, she was still accepting the way of Radicalclan. "I-I don't think it makes a difference what the p-parents look like. It depends on the female t-that bears them." Ashlynn replied to the tom, glancing over at the other she-cats to see if it was an acceptable thing to say.

    Ellisa also approached, sending a puzzled glance at the trapped male. "You do understand that kissing up will mean that you are thrown into a dark cellar."

    "Though it doesn't matter, you'll be thrown into a cellar either way," Dami conceded, shrugging. Her claws were still tapping lightly on his spine, constantly reminding him that a sudden move meant excruciating pain, but probably not death.


    Her grey eyes gleamed. "I might..." she rumbled softly, trailing a claw dangerously down his fur, attempting to pierce the skin lightly but not enough to cause any real harm. "Besides, the offspring only depends on the queen birthing them," she added, twinkling orbs flicking to the husky femme in approval.

    [justify]"holy fuck. uh, it's cool ladies, i think she's got me," darius muttered as four other females decided to wander up and start nagging him. "i mean, y'know, she's only got me flat against the ground with her claws at my spine. nothing that i couldn't handle," he added sarcastically. as this snow leopard said, he was going to the cellar either way, and he didn't feel like holding his tongue for any of these girls, no matter their status in this female-based clan.


    he yelped lightly as her claw grazed his skin and he pressed his belly to the ground, arching his back inwards. "okay, okay, i'll be nice!" she wasn't hurting him, but the slight sensation of his captor running her claws down his back reminded him that if she wanted to, she could kill him.


    he was about to shut up and stay down when the females started speaking some bullshit about how the male's coat colour and genetics didn't matter. "one last question before i shut up: how does it only depend on the queen giving birth for the looks? the tom matters, too."[/justify]

    Domino watched Elani, keeping his eyes on her. He was the only one he truly knew in this situation, someone he called friend. He wondered how she was doing after Fairygarden's death. He hoped she was alright.


    At the thought of Fairygarden, his eyes dropped the the ground. The tuxedo male's tail turned invisible, but that was all he allowed to disappear. His sadness made him want to hide. However, now was not a time for hiding. Instead, he forced his eyes forward and watched the ginger male with cool - yet disapproving - eyes.

    Ashlynn remained quiet, giving him a deathly stare when he said that the tom's genetics mattered. "Females go through the pain of b-birth. W-what does the m-male do? Sit there and get her pregnant?"

    With a faint smile, the healer student came up timidly beside Ashlynn. Gaze settling on the tom, Renee couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic - personally she was a bit more open minded to gender equivalence, but agreed that females were, well, better. "Thou could earn the rank of Scully Boy, sir. Then thou would get food and protection and wouldn't be treated badly." she added quietly, eyes bright. Scully Boys earn their freedom so they were treated pretty well.
