  • Dark clouds had been hanging in the sky all day long, giving an atmosphere of apprehensiveness within the Tribe. Any cat would expect a wild storm to burst through the clouds at any moment. But - fortunately or unfortunately, who knows - nothing too interesting happened during the first portion of the day. It wasn't until a little bit later on that the foreboding weather would wreak havoc. Screech was scaling the edge of the Tribe of Rushing Water's boundary, giving a usual check to ensure all was well, when the rumbling of thunder grew louder. A few warm raindrops splashed on the boulders and leaves of the trees, and after that rain was blasting the forest like there was no tomorrow. Jagged lightningbolts fired through the sky at a rhythmic pace. Screech, grumbling to himself, dashed for cover beneath an outcropping of boulders, wedged between the mossy stone and the muddy ground. I suppose this is just what I need to rid myself of that skunk smell, saved from a swim. Screech confided to himself within his own mind. It wasn't long, however, until small odd shaped pellets of ice began to drop from the clouds. They tumbled down in an avalanche of ice! Screech of Lone Owl was no longer safe under the boulder. He ran out into the hail, wincing as the ice bounced off his skull. "Now, this was uncalled for."



  • Sky always enjoyed a good thunderstorm. She wasn't a huge fan of the rain portion, but the thunder and lightning amazed her. The electricity, the purple clouds. The power. The Tribe of Endless Hunting screeching across the sky, it was simply amazing. How small she felt under the beck and call of the heavens above.


    The Stoneteller was walking back to camp when it started. The first few warm raindrops turned into a downpour, and the black she-cat breaks into a run as black fur sticks to her skinny frame.


    Then the hail, balls of ice clunking the proud female all over. What the f-


    The curse breaks from her thoughts as she sees Screech caught in the mess as well, "Hurry up, stinkpelt! Before you get hit the right way and the damn ice kills you!"


  • The dark fur of the Stoneteller was easy to recognize, even with all this hail dropping and bouncing off the ground between them. Keeping his head low, he made way towards her, bounding quickly through the undergrowth and the stones. Screech huffed quietly at the insult. It seemed like there was no going back now. He may as well be renamed stinkpelt! "I'm right here, beetle-brain. Besides, my skull is too thick to be broken by ice." He pointed out in hollow self deprecating humor, flashing a grin at himself. Screech continued onward, as hail continued to shower down upon them. One hailstone hit Screech's eye. "Ach." Screech blinked desperately to get his eye back under control, and as he did, another overhanging boulder came into view. "I'm going to wait this out over here, it should end soon!" He called to Sky, dashing for cover beneath the other boulder. Much more comfortable than the other one. The hail was small enough to not be too big of a danger to others. The ominous cloud above seemed to be passing, anyway. He watched Sky curiously.
