ooc;; Other animals are aloud in clans. The prototype is cats though. Notice the deputy of Snowclan is a dog, Popcorn, And he doesn't hate cats, or chase them. So the main clans aren't just for cats. Just like life, lol.
Bazaar flicked her tail, waiting impatiently to be questioned. The lithe cougar took a small step forward. "Excuse me, But do you know when we can get this over with?" She asked, her Russian like accent heavy.
ooc; Anyone can join the Elite. (:
ic; Syryn sneezed.
OOC: Okay, just making sure...

I replied on page 22.
Let me re-post it for you. :3
[[Sorry it took me so long to reply. Dx]]
Cinereal looked up from the musty floor, surprised at Roseblood's words. He couldn't deny that he was pleased by her show of approval but is his blooming mood quickly darkened as the auburn she-cat's command crept into his ears.
/[i]What
are my strengths?/ He wondered softly to himself. Thinking quickly the slated tom pricked his ears forward and lifted a steady golden gaze to clash with the Elite's burnished optics, "I think my strengths lay under fur and bone." He began, "I might not be the burly type, but inside here," The young tom paused to motion his head downward, "I just might be of use." Slanting his eyes back towards the ground, Cinereal, took a step back before quickly adding, "I am willing to learn anything I must be taught and will work hard to be of the greatest and most ideal use possible. By exiting that tunnel of bloodied claws I pledged my body and mind to the foundation of this.. organization." The youth was unsure if he had talked too much or too little, he didn't want to come off as a blabbering cat who couldn't shut up or the dry, dark one whom always withheld information. Cinereal also hoped that he hadn't made himself look self centered by implying that his mind was his strongest point in his opinion, but the Elite had asked and so- he had answered.
The thought of being rejected in front of all these cats suddenly made him feel nauseated and caused his ears to turn the bright shade of red that they so often did. Knowing that he was 'blushing', as well as a cat can blush anyways, only made the situation worse and in a swift attempt to hide his embarrassment the ashen tom quickly pressed his ears back against his skull. He knew he shouldn't be losing his nerve so soon, but he just couldn't help it.

OOC;; Ohh jeez, I'm so sorry, I didn't see that xD my bad
IC;;
Rose gazed at the tom for a sure more minutes, silent as death as she critically went over Cinereal's words. A few seconds of nothing ensued, marked only by the Guard's assessing obsidian gaze- finally, however, she spoke. "I like you." Rose mewed with an approving nod, flicking her ears once. "Congratulations- you've been accepted into the Elite." The cold auburn beauty nodded towards the blood bowl, wordlessly instructing him to take a sip for the process of acceptance to be complete. Having finished with him and been impressed by the tom despite herself, she called out to the line. "Alright! Next initiate, step forward and state your name and worth!"
{{mobile
[[It's totally fine. xD I miss posts every so often as well.]]
Cinereal held his breath as the auburn she-cat's wordless glare gored into his pelt. He felt small and insignificant against her gaze and crumbled back a step, unsure how she would react to his words. As each minute elapsed the tension only grew, swelling inside his chest until the point when he was almost sure she would never speak. How humiliating it would be to simple have the Guard flick him away without even a word. But she did speak.
As if a giant knot had been unwound in his chest the lithe tom exhaled deeply the moment Roseblood's words graced the air. Thrilled that she had accepted him as an Elite. His eyes sparkled bright with excitement, sending silent thanks to the Guard before turning to where she had motioned him to go. With fumbling steps the ashen youth padded towards the alter, his nose wrinkling on instinct at the smell of the blood. While lifting his head precariously above the bowl he began to study it. From each crack lacing the bowl down to the tiniest ripple on the surface of the offered blood. The ashen furred feline stopped for another moment, just thinking, before dipping his chin down allowing the thick, dark liquid to bathe over his tongue.
With his delicate features now smushed together in a contorted figure, Cinereal decided he didn't like the taste of blood at all, and preferred it to stay on claws and flesh rather then in his mouth. While puffing in an attempt to rid himself of the foul taste he let out a few short snorts on his way away from the alter. After dispersing back into the small crowd of cats and other various creatures, Cinereal sat. He sat and thought about what his next goal was, what his purpose here was. A small huff escaped his maw as he realized what it was. /Exactly as I have said./ He thought. /I will serve the Elite in whatever ways I can./

QuoteKal blushed under her bengal fur. "Please, Anthrax. Let me try again." She mustered up all her strength. "I'm Kal. What is my worth? I don't quite know. All I know is that I am clever, kind, and a good friend to have in a fight. I'm just a normal cat, barely any older than a kit. I'm foolish at times, but everybody is, even the greatest, wisest warrior. I don't think I'm worth much, but my mum did, so I might just be." Kal paused to take a breath. "I've never been one with words, but what I'm trying to say, I think, is that I believe I have all the right stuff to be an Elite, and maybe even more. I believe that not accepting me will be a mistake, though it's all up to you." Kal raised her head, gazing defiantly into Anthrax's eyes. Kal just hoped everything had gone well. There was nothing she could do but hope, now. Everything was out of her paws.
{ooc. sorry for the late reply!}
Anthrax paused, thinking over what Kal had said. She scanned the young cat in front of her, she seemed worthy enough to join. The Dragonslayer finally gave an accepting nod, "A pretty speech. Modest. Not over selling yourself. I like it, welcome to the Elite Kal." Anthrax mewed, "But don't go calling yourself a warrior around here or you'll be skinned alive."
Spook sat licking her paws and the parts of her fur where the blood was drying
OOC: WHAAAAAA!!!! YESS!!!!! MINI SPAZZ ATTACK: COMMENCE!!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! Ok. I'm done. I think. YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There. NOW I'm done.
Kal wanted to leap in to the air and yowl at the top of her lungs, but she restrained herself. "Thank you, Anthrax."
[fancypost borderwidth=0px][size=7pt][color=black] That was the last straw. Frowning slightly and green optics narrowed she whirled around on her paws, leaving without a word. It seemed no one would be able to find out why she was so irritated.
Kal turned to watch the she-cat storm out of the parlor. She wanted to help, but Kal was afraid following after the cat would get her beat up.
Do'rajirr wondered if he should step forward now, since his peers had already done so. He stepped away from the shadows.
A tom walked up to athrax and said hello
[font=georgia]Lenox slithered up to Roseblood, curling himself up and bring his head up, but not past the Elitist Guard's head, for fear of posting a arrogant impression.He waited for the starting question, eagerly twitching his tail under all his layers.

The Guard looked down at the snake, unfazed by his slithering form. She took in the scaled figure with a quick glance and mewed, "Alright. State your name and worth." Again, the implication to not piss her off was there, and impressing the auburn she-cat would give them brownie points... if she decided that they weren't being too boastful or annoying.
[font=georgia]"Lenox. I don't believe I have a worth that I can really explain.I'm just a regular ssnake, one you could find anywhere, but I can be what the Elite would expect from me.I can haul my own weight and I can fight for myself and I can sstand up for myself here." he finished, looking up at the Guard with onyx orbs, various emotions swirling within them.

Rose's answer was quicker than with the last cat; this snake could be useful, although he didn't strike her as memorable, really. "Well, if you don't think you have an easily explainable worth, then make one in your time here- prove yourself in times of war and in times of peace. I have a feeling you'll be able to do that. Congratulations, Lenox. You have been accepted as a member of the Elite." With that, the petite Guard flicked her tail towards the bowl. "To complete your initiation, take a sip from the blood bowl." Now that the snake's acceptance was complete, the auburn Guard was open for another initiate. "Next!", she barked, dark-tipped tail lashing once.

Lenox kept his face, though on the inside, he was leaping like Kal had.He sipped from the bowl of blood and continued on, in search of Kal.He seemingly winked at Do'rajirr, wishing him good luck.
