    The Fisher Crew (RP Thread)


    -The morning sun was warm and reflecting off the surface of the still water through the shafts of light that descended from heaven through the thick overhead of trees that surrounded the rusted out hull of an old ship. It was 3 levels tall, 4 if one included the raised cabin that now was flush with greenery and leaves. The hull was breached in several places, providing apt entrances for vermin as well as the cats that called the vessel home for years. Old bones of long dead humans still sat long cleaned of their flesh, half submerged in the mud or overgrown by trees, or scattered at the bottom of the river. Mysteriously none of them managed to make it despite the very minor severity of the crash many many generations of felines ago. Mysteriously it was only the cats aboard the ship that managed to survive the endeavor, and they had carved out a community for themselves in the wreckage.

    On this day like many others, cats were sunning themselves in the spotlights of sun on the deck of the ship. Deckard was one of them, her face looking down into the water, as her shoulder braced themselves as she put her weight on the rim of the ship. In the water the light danced along the ripples as fish swam about, past the shade of the boat. They made for easy prey for the good fishers of the crew. She was mesmerized by their rainbow scales.

    With comfrey roots clasped in the jaws of the blue furred she-cat, she trotted up one of the leaning trees along the side of the ship. Blu hopped onto the deck once she reached the end and padded towards the 'den' but paused upon seeing a familiar small black and white she-cat peering into the water. She flicked her tail amused and slowly crept towards her apprentice, getting into a low crouch as she inched closer. Blu placed the roots on the deck before she got any closer, once she was right behind the apprentice she slammed her front paws down on both sides behind Deckard, "Boo!"

    Bogg slept in, his nose would twitch from time to time until finally he shook his head and open his eyes only to see Skitter's tail falling back onto his snout. "Skitter!" He hissed and kicked his brother with his hind legs from his sleeping area. "You have your own area to sleep!"

    Skitter jumped up from the kick he received and stared down at his brother, he merely blinked at him as his tail lashed out to the side.

    "Skitter just go somewhere else." Bogg grumbled before rested his head onto his paws, prepared to sleep again until he was startled by his brother leaping onto him. "This is my sleeping area you fish brain!" He growled and tackled his brother in return. The two toms where tumbling as they bickered and fought.

    ---

    Minx was curled up where Blu had left her in the doctor's 'den'. The kit released a small sneeze before burrowing herself into the moss that made up her bed.

    Deckard yelped, her body spinning around quickly as she wide eyed looked at her teacher who seemed to be having a good time at her own expense. Deckard could only see the Bluish grey cat for a moment before she could no longer feel the ground under her rear paws. "Ah!" She yowled as she scrambled to try and keep her footing on the deck, but ultimately her small mostly black body fell down making a splashing sound as she hit the shallow water.

    After a moment she stood, looking up to her teacher from her moistened ground. "That wasn't very nice!" She meowed, revolting at the feeling of her fur clinging tightly to her body. This was just... great.

    Shadow, who had been fishing in the shallows with Weasley, hissed at the loud splash. 'You're scaring all the fish!" he shouted, making his way to his niece. "Oh well, I was getting bored anyway." he told her as he got closer.

    "But I'm still hungryyyy!" Weasley whined, glaring at them and plopping down in the water.


    Vile (Vialiki) was also enjoying the sun one the deck and smirked as his daughter fell. "Heh, nice one Blu" he said, getting up and walking over.


    Pixie had been napping in a tree that overhangs the river, but jolted awake at the sound of the splash below, falling sideways and barely catching herself with her claws. When she saw who it was that had fallen in, however, she let go and tried her best to hit the water gracefully. She landed in the deeper water, and quickly swam to the surface. "Woops!" she exclaimed, giggling. "You startled me." she calls, swimming closer to her crush.

    gale looked out from there own placement on the boat her ears perking slightly at the sound of the siblings argument. taking in a deep breath of the air before making their way down to the noises. despite the calm look on their face there was an annoyed look in their mismatched eyes as they entered the place the two siblings were in. clearing her throat loudly to announce her presence among the two toms, a cool glare being sent their way. "why are you two fighting so early in the day" gale questioned the two rather loudly her normal tone wavering into irritation. right now it was merely morning and there was already some sort of 'chaos' among them. slowly approaching the siblings "how old are you two? you're both acting like kits."

    Blu flatten her ears and winced with a small smile, "Sorry Deckard~!" She withheld her laughter and glanced back to Vile at the praise. The blue furred cat looked to the sound of another splash and this time couldn't hold back her laughter seeing Pixie surface. "Everyone is okay, right?" She felt the need to ask, not wanting anyone injured because of her.

    The brothers paused upon the leader's entrance, Skitter quickly straightened up and ended up stepping on Bogg's tail in the process causing him to yelp. The blue eyed tom lashed his tail from out under his brother's paw as he stood up, "He was sleeping on my spot." Bogg grumbled with lowered eyes.

    her eyes slightly narrowed at the answer her tail beginning to lash back and forth. stopping a bit in front of the two, letting out a sigh before taking a moment to respond to the two. "separate. bogg if it really annoys you then move your nest away from skitter," she suggested to the mumbling tom.

    "Yeah I'm alright..." Deckard said, her shoulderblades raised slightly as if recoiling from the water that clung tightly to her fur. It was Pixie that held her attention however, despite the calls of her father who would most certainly make fun of her for the days to come. That was probably the worst thing about falling overboard.
    "Oh I'm sorry Pixie, I didn't mean to, honest." Deckard said, lightly joining in on the others laughter. "Someone..." She looked up at blu. "Took me by a little bit of surprise as well." She said in a rather friendly matter, slightly making fun of her mentor. It was then that she noticed how worse off Pixie was. "Oh gosh! You're even more wet than me!" She meowed in exclamation, looking around. "You should probably get dried off before you catch a cold, maybe some..." She trailed off from their thinking of how they'd have to clean her off and dry off the fur, and all those sort of thoughts... Purely from an objective standpoint of course. What else would she be thinking of!

    "Oh, I'm fine." Pixie mumbled, a bit embarrassed by the attention. Even though she liked being looked after, she was still a bit shy. "I actually rather enjoy swimming. It's just so nice to feel so light and weightless." she said, doing a little twirl and circling Deckard. "But you obviously hate it, so let's go."

    Shadow nodded, already heading for the shore. "The sun's nice and strong today, so it'll be easy to dry off."

    Blu purred in amusement as she watched Deckard and Pixie before turning to gather up the comfrey roots she had left behind, the blue she-cat glanced to Gale. "You'll be careful of this one, right?" She asked with a slight mumbled due to the herbs in her mouth.

    --

    Bogg flatten his ears, "I-" He sighed and gave up on trying to explain knowing it would've sounded stupid. Skitter snorted at his brother, flicking his tail from side to side wearing a ghost of a smirk. "Sorry, you're right." The blue eyed tom responded with instead.

    gale stared at the galley cat ears perking slightly at the voice of the seakit. her eyes flickering back and forth between bogg and skitter, nodding her head at the toms remark. "its all fine, its just an idiotic reason to be fighting. now if this are settled its time to start your duties..." she spoke turning around and walking out. taking in a deep breath "I'm taking a group out to check out the surrounding area, skitter youre coming along."

    Penelope || Pope || Poe


    As the sun slowly warmed the ship and the fisher crew cts begin to move about a slender black and white she-cat stretched out on the deck, her yellow gaze resting on two young Kits as the wrestled by her side "keep your claws sheathed Poe, we don't need Pope getting hurt again, remember?" came her smooth voice as she warned a small white kitten, "yes, I will!" Poe said loudly, his tail sticking straight up as he pounced towards a small redish/black kitten who quickly scrambled to his mother's side "I don't want to play anymore" Pope said quickly, placing his paws on his mother's belly he scrambled up onto her side; carefully balancing himself he curled into a little ball "Pope" Penelope grunted "Pope, you can sleep right there" she chuckled, gently nudging the black kitten off of her, tucking him close to her belly "come on Poe, it's time for a nap" she told him. huffing the white kitten grumbled to himself as he roughly curled next to his mother, giving a yawn he rested his head on his brother's back as they soon fell asleep to the soft rumbling purr that came from Penelope.


    (sorry for not replying sooner)

    Skitter's ear twitched before he dipped his head, "Alright." He meowed even though he knew it wasn't a request, it was Bogg's turn to wore the smirk. "Be safe~" He cooed teasingly.

    ---

    Minx shuffled her way out of the doctor's den and towards the nursery, the hairless kit watched the birth giver and her kits for a moment before quietly inching closer. The kit looked to Penelope, "How long is nap time?" She whispered looking at Poe and Pope.

    Jasper||47moons||crush:none


    Tags:none


    Jasper leaped onto the wrecked ship and dropped a fish onto the prey pile. Walking a fox length away he sat to clean his wet self. Once he was satisfied with his cleaning job he stood up and shook out his fur.


    -sorry low muse first post open for interaction-

    Weasley sighed, giving up on fishing and collected the few small ones he and Shadow had managed to catch, bringing them up to the prey pile. Seeing Jasper's fish, he dropped his and exclaimed "Wow! Where'd you get such a big one? I thought they were all hiding today."

    Shadow soon came up behind him, still a bit wet. "Oh wow. That is pretty big. I assume he did the smart thing and didn't try fishing where all the fish know they shouldn't go with all the cats wandering around." he said, sticking his tongue out at the orange cat.


    Pixie had made it to shore and was making a bit of a show of drying off, possibly on purpose for Deckard's benefit, though there was no outright proof.

    Jasper turned and looked at the two cats "I simply fish like my human did." He gave a sigh preparing to explain "Find a over hanging log, make sure it's sturdy you don't want to go falling in. Next sit on the end. After you've settled drop your tail in. The next part may hurt put the fish will grab on. Flick your tail and snatch it out of the air killing it. That and I don't fish in the shallows the big fish can't swim there." He stated and tended as water sprayed from pixie. Giving a light grumble he sat down and started to groom again between a lick he turn to the molly "See the sand? Try shaking off there please."

    The two toms listened carefully, obviously impressed. "You use your tail? Also, you had a human?" Shadow asked.

    "My humans never let me go anywhere. Yours seems a lot cooler if he took you fishing."


    Pixie rolled her eyes and smirked, splashing a bit of water still on her tail in Jasper's direction before prancing off to the beach.

    Deckard watched the little snafu unfold between Pixie and the older cat, apologizing to him with her eyes before chasing after Pixie with leaping strides. She had to side with her on this one, and only really felt bad because Jasper was their senior. She was for some reason also very enthralled with how Pixie was... err.... cleaning herself off. The form was very compelling. She laughed slightly to herself as she sat down a couple of lengths away, licking herself clean without neglecting to look up at the other cat with curious eyes every now and then to see how she was getting along.. Maybe she would need help. She was happy with that little fantasy, and it occupied her for long enough that she was just going over the same patch of fur over and over again on her leg.

    Jasper gave a sideways glance before looking back to the two toms "Yes. I did his name was Hunter. He was good to me. I don't remember to much though because I was only a kitten. But I do remember when he went on a tiny boat to go fishing and took me along." He gave a sad smile and glared at pixie as water dashed his way, sprayed from her tail. smiling at Deckard he followed the she with his eyes. Watching as she went over and over and over on a patch of fur. "Making yourself raw are you Deckard?"

    Blu had been listening in curiously with a small smile as the toms spoke of fishing, she glanced towards Pixie then rolled her eyes with a short laugh. Her eyes moved to Deckard as Jasper brought her attention to him, "Deckard! You have training to get to!" The blue she-cat abruptly yelled over the deck at her apprentice.
