    [justify]ok, ok. sometimes it did help to just stop and think about things; mule over each and every possibility or consequence that might happen by your actions but then again just jumping into things took way less time not to mention it had a certain rush to it that you couldn't experience if you slowed down.
    and when had she ever slowed down! she was a freakin' cheetah.
    see. slowing down for a cheetah equals...no logic.


    ergh. maybe it was time for her to stop being so spastic if she wanted to be allowed into riverclan's camp or even their territory. it was time to make friends, friends in a different clan other then skyclan because it was now her goal to have at least one friend, in each clan...well, except for all the bloodthirsty clans that would try to eat her innards if she even glanced at their border.


    but anywho! sober sent a breath of air through her flaring nostrils that was paired with a hushed purr at her racing thoughts before she shook her head gently at herself while eyes watched the rippling waters that separated her from riverclan territory yet she was able to keep her ears on the alert for any sign of a clanner or more.[/justify]

    [justify]you know that moment when you peer down at a enormous height and just for the briefest of moments imagine yourself falling down and at the exact mindset your legs feel like jelly thus causing you to feel wobbly as if you really might topple over but instead all sturdy sensation rushes back in and everything's surprisingly back to normal?


    well this was how the golden cheetah felt when she had first settled down on the border that belonged to windclan her optics flickering from left to right with a dash of suspicion swimming in them because this was so unlike your homeland; skyclan. up in the mountainous landscape the air was disturbed by the various crags and crevices that dotted along the cliffs, making a somewhat bouncy atmosphere but here it was silence with only the wind as a backdrop.
    it was...how could she put it? eerie.
    freaky really.


    however, she wasn't here to be weirded out by the land but rather to meet the cats that lived in this barren landscape just for the purpose of crafting new friendships, something she was eagerly looking forward to. this would be her...third clan? yes, she'd gone to thunderclan and riverclan so now it was windclan.
    perfect!


    sober nodded contently to herself while she subconsciously shuffled her spotted paws due to the fact her mind was elsewhere, peering out towards the windy plains and awaiting the presence of anyone with a hopeful goal. [/justify]

    [justify]ok, she was kind of excited for this...ok. kind of was a bit of an understatement because hell they lived in a mansion. a mansion.
    yes. a mansion.
    so let's just say she would be pleasantly surprised if they allowed her inside of their camp but when that thought crept into the back of her mind she was swift to remind herself of her true purpose; to make friends! other then those in her home clan skyclan because that clan was...well. small. very small indeed, and she loved them all to death but it'd be pretty awesome if she had friends spread out over the whole clans, unless of course they happened to be at war but she didn't plan on going to any of the...'crazy' clans.


    stretching her limbs sober adjusted her sitting position at sunclan's border with a twitch of her black whiskers which caused her nose to wrinkle up at her cheeks being tickled with the light pressure however she regained a moderately still form as her head tilted off towards the west.
    and so the cheetah waited.


    >ooc<
    apologies for low muse
    [/justify]

    [justify]mwaha! she loved these things, well not loved. love was a strong word but rather she adored the over-sized glasses that were carefully perched on her head, the cheetah print glittering dully with the weak sunlight. oh yes, in her mind she could stylishly wear these human objects with perfection and rock them so much that clanners just might die from the awesomeness they had.


    unfortunately she had forgotten about them for the previous clans she had visited but hey the next two could enjoy their glory, including snowclan which by the way she found to be fairly pretty from her vantage point on sitting near the border.


    sober then awaited for any clanners to pass by, so she could explain her reasons for being here.


    >ooc<
    rushed, sorry </3
    [/justify]

    [justify]cloudpaw>>> boo-yah' eeck! i can't wait ^__^


    aurora>>> sober might just kill your random character.
    >magically flies off to post<
    oh and, i kinda like the sickness plot. cliche' but who doesn't love a little ill drama here and there? xD


    oh! maybe a new disease? can we even do that? my seven o' clock brain can't function properly


    everyone>>> any takers for a thread with sober? she's coming back in with some bucket o' fulls major muse ^_^[/justify]

    [justify]do you hear me?
    talking to you?
    across the ocean?
    across the deep. blue.

    it was one of life's most annoying 'traumas' of the everyday life; reciting a song in your head in which you only knew one small part and then it just repeated and repeated and repeated. sure, you could mentally scream at yourself to stop but hey! that will probably not work, and you'll just end up singing that part before you ran out of known words and then you blundered like an idiot; across the deep. blue. nanana. nah nah naah nah.


    well anyways, that was currently what the long legged cheetah was going through at the precise moments of her traveling here up until the point of sitting her rump down on exactly where a borderline should be, so you could say her face looked a tad pained with her inner 'demons' still serenading to her. blek.


    a speckled sigh escaped through her black maw as sober tried to shove the singsong phrases out of her head but the utterly failed by giving in and humming the tune quietly to herself, as she awaited for any sign of the clanners.


    >ooc<
    rushed, my apologizes
    [/justify]

    [justify]"why yes sir, i do."
    ah, the famous word of sir. can we get a 'kiss ass?'
    well maybe that whole 'charming demeanor' would've worked better if she hadn't flashed a particularly lopsided smile that was paired with a subtle toss of her head but hey she wasn't really one to be...elegant? nah, charming would fit better. ok round two. she wasn't really one to be charming or groveling for that matter.


    anyways, she had surpassed her ten seconds of silence that were taken up by her examining her own words and then eyeing all three felines with a keen interest that showed plainly in her eyes before she meowed almost bashfully,
    "well er." ok there went her confidence. down the drain.
    "i came here to...well. make friends."


    oh god that sounded horrible. even her facial expression shifted from a cheery status to one that had just sniffed something bad and then realized the scent was a rotting carcass of a huge rat however she felt the urge to clarify,
    "i mean. ahem. well let's start with introductions; i'm sober, warrior of skyclan."
    ok, so far so good. ish.
    "this may sound. well. weird, duh. but i came for a little 'visit' i guess, one that i just want to...extend my friendships, so-to-speak.
    you can totally send me away, and all that, but it's not like i'll take anything. no food, no supplies, not even the tiniest drop of water."


    hmm. moderate save, moderate save. sober mulled while her black whiskers seemed to have a little 'episode' as they twitched four times.
    oh yes...moderate save.
    [/justify]

    [justify]oh, well this was her first encounter with a wolf (face-to-face that is) and her first time meeting a different species other than cat on the other clan's lands. so let's just say, this was already a pretty rewarding endeavor of just sitting near their border however she'd made a mistake by salivating over the falcon who was apparently; a clanmate. and also could speak cat, presumably for the wolf who seemed to converse with the bird.
    awkward.


    clearing her throat she prepared to answer but was only halfway through her sentence when suddenly...well we'll see.
    "i'm sober, warrior of skyclan. i've come to..."
    and that's when her eyes landed onto a new speaker and she felt her nerd glasses almost slide off of her face once it was angled downwards but she was quick to sit upright again, and at the same time tried not to ogle at the adorable creature.


    "why of course it's true!"
    she responded warmly, recalling a similar conversation with sweetkit, and purred,
    "we're the fastest land animal, in the whole world! mind if i ask you're name dear?"


    then she remembered how she kind of just abandoned the conversation with turnpaw, or rather zelda, and flicked her striped tail across the ground as she fixed her gaze back onto the pair but now found that a new soul had wandered up while she had gotten distracted.
    "welp. i'm sober, warrior of skyclan. i know this might sound odd, feel free to decline, but i was wondering if you'd allow me to meet your clanmates. i won't take food, supplies, or the tiniest drop of water, i only come seeking friends."


    once sober had finished she looked mildly satisfied for herself, seeing how this went smoother then her riverclan 'speech' in which she'd blundered like an idiot.
    score; embarrassment: 1. sober: 1.


    >ooc<
    oh well, hey! :3
    tis' a small world we live in silv ^_^


    i mean, i know you just can't stay away. but this stalking needs to stop xD


    on a side note; athena's adorable <3


    loquacious>>> good luck! ^_^[/justify]

    [justify]"aurory?"
    a single sniff of the air clarified that it was indeed her good friend and this caused the cheetah to purr more extravagantly,
    "aurorakit!"
    feeling a warm rush of delight and anticipation to see other friendlies she merrily padded closer to the kitten, still unaware of her injured paw, before a bubbly smile found itself spreading across her face before the same feeling could be felt throughout her entire form and for a few seconds she could only smile because truly there was no words to express how delighted she was to be home and be with her clanmates. plus her roleplayer just can't write for some reason.


    "it's so good to see you aurora, how are you! and riv! you too! ah, sinking, how you doin' buddy?"
    her first words were paired with a joyful smirk as she peered down at the kit whereas the next were grinning at her friend, and then finally a wink towards a creature that was larger then her; which was still something she wasn't quite used to.


    yup. this was good, life was good.
    sober then fell silent as she awaited the response or more cats to show up, as her roleplayer finally ended this hideous post with a horrible sentence.


    >ooc<
    shame on you!
    please excuse when i step into another dimension and act like sober already knew about riverheart and sinkingship due to the fact i posted in their threads
    <3
    [/justify]

    [justify]one, two three, four...six? six clanners had come to greet her? aha! fantastic, she loved crowds; big or small. not to mention this opened up all new possibilities for just making friends on the border rather then traveling deeper however this did not shoo her away from her secret desire to get a glimpse of the mansion and yet again she had to remind herself that was not why she was here.


    "hello everyone!"
    she started with, wanting to open up smaller conversations by saying 'hi' to each individual yet that wasn't the time to do so, and with that she added,
    "my name's sober. i come from skyclan, and i'm here with one goal; simply to befriend you. i know this might sound silly, but it's the truth.
    it is--of course--up to you, however if you allow me to come in, i swear that i won't take any food, supplies, or the tiniest drop of water.
    like i said before, this may sound...weird. but let's face it; skyclan. not that big, i already know practically everyone there and i see nothing wrong in seeking friendships elsewhere, and that's not possible unless a clanwide even is held."


    mmhmm, she was getting way better at stating her goal compared to her first time, in riverclan, in which she'd blubbered like a seal trying to get her point across but utterly failing in doing it in a somewhat convincing way that did not make her seem like an idiot.


    sober then smiled at each of them, deciding that if she couldn't speak one-on-one quite yet then she'd at least let them know that she'd like to, before her eyes traveled from cat to cat before resting on brooklyn and harlempaw, who had asked her the questions to begin with.[/justify]

    [justify]"my name is sober, warrior of skyclan. this request may seem, strange, but bear with me;
    as i've already said, i come from skyclan, in which i adore that clan and the cat's in it however we probably all know about it's size. small. i've already met almost every cat in the clan, which is what brings me here today.
    now, i come with the utmost peace with just the purpose of making friendships within thunderclan, i am also doing so with the other clans. this is because, the only time i get to see other clanners is when a clanwide event is happening, which can be some time, and even then i might miss it.
    it is--of course--completely up to you, however if you allow me to visit then i promise not to take any food, supplies, water, or anything on your territory, and i will respect your land and words."


    yes. ten times better then her first 'go' at riverclan territory, in which she sat there pouring out useless rambles while trying to save a sinking boat, however she'd gotten 'tossed a lifeline' so-to-speak.
    sober's ears pricked up optimistically yet in her eyes she also held a certain preparation of being turned down...mostly optimism though.
    [/justify]

    [justify]"oh? oh, oh it's fine."
    came her reply which was tweaked with a note of confusion as to why he'd be apologizing to her rather then just going all; arrrr! why are you on my territory?
    ok, maybe not 'arrr' he wasn't a pirate.
    but she smiled nonetheless, pleasantly surprised at his manners, while feeling somewhat at ease with this encounter because the other ones had been started by a demand as to why she was here and her name and all that. so this was...better.


    "whhoah. wait. how do you know my name?"
    then it dawned on her roleplayer about how sloppy her first post was and that she should stop posting at 2:oo am.


    >ooc<
    oh wait; she's not apart of windclan ^_^
    sorry, should of cleared that up...my writing can be so confusing! xD


    unless he has some sort of power and i'm just being an idiot ^__^
    [/justify]

    [justify]aurora>>> oh! sober is so gonna set up a tea-party like thing for the two of them <3
    ahh, i love aur ^_^
    anyways, i'll just make another thread because the other one is a bit...old (;


    everyone>>> well, i was watching 'flipped' and suddenly got a weird plot idea for skyclan and i'm still not sure where it'd really go.
    well, you know how sometimes schools or places have men, or women, that are eligible 'bachelors' and 'bachelorets' and other people spend money to go on a date with them?
    so we could have something like that, using fresh kill, only thing is i don't know what the fresh kill would be used for or who would get it ^_^


    just a thought, i was thinking it'd be kind of funny (:
    i'll stop rambling now. >hides in a corner<
    [/justify]

    [justify]aspen. that was a cute name for such an adorable creature and she felt the urge just to reach out and give the margay a bear hug but of course she didn't because...that would've just been weird.
    but seriously, those eyes were just fan-friggin-tastic!


    "aspen, eh? love the name! hope we can be good friends, what are you again? and by that i mean what species not like...yeah i'm rambling."
    since the other wildcat had tossed her a rope of conversation she grappled onto it eagerly while also returning the wide smile that was tinged with a little more enthusiasm and then something else that was glorious happened; another introduction.
    oh crowds, oh how she loved them.


    "nightpaw! i know someone else named nightpaw--she's a doll--anyways, are you recently apprenticed? only asking because you almost said 'kit.' which by the way, happens to everyone. when i get my name changed, i bet i'll be correcting myself all the time."
    her long legs lengthened outward as she stretched, her spotted back arching for a brief moment before she relaxed into a more comfortable position, pleased that they weren't chasing her away and rebuking her idea.


    "why he-llo peppermint!"
    came her response to the female serval just as her head swung eastward to peer curiously at the creature that she had yet to encounter in her lifetime while her mouth began to water at the feline's name. peppermint icecream... her favorite. her absolute favorite. but nonetheless she swallowed her large gulp of saliva, so not to freak anyone out. it wasn't as if she wanted to eat the sunclanner but she did however want her name.
    ergh. still sounded a bit weird.


    "greetings to you jasminepaw!"
    another greeter? delightful! sober's already bright smile seemed so stretched even further as she took in each new face with a short nod here and there of a smaller greeting, closure to all the words she had said before and now all she had to do is wait for the responses.
    [/justify]

    [justify]"oh! hiya!"
    so far, so good. it was a bit strange that she hadn't been questioned yet, or asked the 'famous' questions of; 'who are you' and 'what is your business here?' she'd gone through those hoops multiple times, so it was a bit off-putting to just be greeted yet she was quick to get into the swing of things with a cheerful smile towards oceanicairlines before she sat down to be somewhat eye-level with the feline.


    "i'm sober, warrior of skyclan."
    sober introduced herself, with a curtsy meshed with a bow while her mocha eyes shimmered with interst as they wandered along the territory belonging to hawkclan, however she wouldn't move a muscle until she was invited into the land...because that would, clearly, just be dumb.
    [/justify]

    [justify]"fantastic!"
    came her thrilled reply just as she did a tiny bounce in her 'seat' before clearing her throat twice and dipping her head in a manner of respect towards grizzlybear and meowing almost shyly now,
    "i mean. er. thank you. i promise to uphold my words!"
    nice save, nice save.
    yup, could've leaped around like a kit back there, which probably would've led them to think you were some maniac.
    she inwardly thought but smiled just at the silly vision before she shook away her clutching inner voices and instead focused on the thunderclanners, pleased that she would be allowed in.


    now that sober had been formally 'invited in' she decided to settle on a familiar face, if by familiar you just meant the species, and determined that she'd spark up a conversation with sunfur;
    "hey-yah. i'm sober, as you already know. what's your name?"
    [/justify]

    [justify]however difficult is was for her to keep her promise, as the fresh kill pile looked pretty tempting right now--enough to make her mouth fill up with saliva even if it held no bats--she managed to pry her eyes away from the deceased creatures and instead gravitated towards the nursery, not sure if kits would be terrified or curious of her presence. after all, she was a cheetah; practically a skyscraper to the youngins' but that had never shooed her away before. besides, kits were easy to befriend...well most of them anyways, sherkit being an exception.


    "hi there! i'm sober from skycl-"
    her joyous greeting was cut short by a confused clamp of her jaws as she had popped inside just to witness, and hear, phantomkit's whole outburst and then be distracted by another cuddly kitten once bearkit had piped up.


    sober blinked in confusion towards timeturner, wondering whether or not it was him that was causing this or maybe thunderclan just had some weird way of talking to each other; both seemed unlikely. so instead she just tilted her head towards the warrior and kits, not really sure what to say.
    [/justify]

    [justify]"hmm. actually...if you're up for it; i'm currently visiting thunderclan. just came back for some things, found a paper bag, and wa-lah. here i am. maybe you could just drop in sometime, i dunno hang out. i'm visiting all the clans actually. main goal...
    to find friends."

    she laughed at herself and words before tapping her right paw against the ground with a random beat as she added,
    "it's pretty awesome. pretty awesome indeed."


    it was a strange time for her to get all reminiscent or examine her life thus far but she did; spaced out into memories and also thoughts of her own and it showed plainly on her face that she was mentally not quite here, but elsewhere; envisioning other stuff and events.
    indeed, life here was good for sober.


    >ooc<
    pssht. all in a day's work for these two ^_^
    just combined what she's doing now with what she was doing about three weeks ago, and then caught her up to speed in this thread, creating a black whole in the universe.
    just thought you wanted to know (;


    and also, i hereby hate this post. meh. low muse is not working so good for me...[/justify]
