Posts by RINTO O.X.

Luckily for Aleksei, Rinto knew enough about herbs. After all, he was a medic hopeful- and had trained under Awolnation, a Shadowclan medic of days gone by. So if Aleksei needed a teacher, Rinto would volunteer, but of course he didn't know the reason Aleksei was there so he stood there faithfully next to the butterfly-creature.

"Greetings- I'm Rinto, welcome to Shadowclan. Can I get you anything- herbs, water, whatever. I'm here all night, folks."

Rinto was quite the dedicated stalker.

He had a small, leatherbound journal labelled 'The Book of Luca' with a picture of him sleeping taped to it. Rinto flipped open the pages- information, facts, even little letters he'd never send were all found. He opened a new page, right next to a collection of photos of Luca- most seemed to be candid, as if Rinto was taking them without his knowledge. He took out a red pen, and began to write.

Where is he going? I follow him when he goes between The Sanctuary and Shadowclan, but sometimes I lose him mid-transition. Where is he going, where is he going does he hate me does he know I follow him god I love him why doesnt he love me mememememee

At this point, he started scribbling, trying to unleash anger and fury on those yellow pages and eventually he stabbed the pen through the page, creating a hole and leaking red ink. He tossed the pen to the side and took his book outside ( a foolish thing to do, but Rinto wanted to see those pictures in better light to calm him down) but he tilted it the wrong way.

Hundreds of pictures of Luca spilled out of the book, the glue holding them in having been wore out. They were all clearly taken when Luca wasn't aware.

"T-These aren't mine! I'm holding them for a friend! Fuck, no, they're not-" He began scrambling to pick them up but he had no thumbs and now he was crying and oh god this was bad. "I don't even like him! Just listen," He breathed out to NPCs that laughed from a distance.

Rinto was an old soul, surely, for he couldn't determine if he knew all these other clans they spoke about. He knew the core four (though where was Thunderclan these days) and a few extras, like Bloodclan, Blizzardclan, and The Exiles. So when he heard 'Eclipse Force' he had absolutely no idea what they were talking about as he padded over.

He immediately clung to Luca, almost subconsciously at this point. Kisa seemed nice; he had no worries that Kisa would try to steal Luca from him. In a strange fashion he asked "Are you gay or straight? Asking for a friend." If she was gay, he didn't have to worry.

Rinto felt like he had saw this dude before- had he stopped by Shadowclan, he wondered? Rinto was a quick little thing, darting between clans whenever he saw Luca doing the same, so the two were never in two different clans. I have to make sure he's safe, after all, thought the little tabby, adjusting his scarf to remind himself of the bite wound, and was slightly disappointed he could feel it scabbing over.

"Nice gifts- Glasshalos, huh? Weren't they a medic?" Rinto asked curiously, ears perked.

Oh god, of course Flynn would be the first to approach. He rather liked the flirty male, but anxiety and dread filled his heart awaiting his response. It was obvious these photos were candid, revealing Rinto's little... obsession, but as Flynn spoke it seemed he actually didn't care.

Rinto swiped the photos out of his paws and stuck them hastily in his book. "Need to invest in - glue that lasts longer," He muttered, then looked at Flynn again. "You don't care I just have... whatevs, thanks for the help." He said now, quieter, trying to not draw attention as he still picked them up.

Coming up after Luca was the little fanboy, pink eyes wide in interest as he observed the clearly clueless joiner. They were getting quite the influx of joiners, weren't they? He couldn't count them all on one paw. He supposed this was good, but a deep, dark part of him knew this meant more competition for the heart of Luca. Then, the rational part said Jesus, Rinto, chill the fuck out, not everyone who looks into his eyes is going to love him, he bit his lip, knowing that was true. It was better to be safe than sorry, though.

He pushed himself against Luca in a clear 'this is my man, Phaolyn' movement, though went to actually say something. "Hi. I'm Rinto. Welcome to The Sanctuary. We're pretty chill around here."

Rinto heard a rather demanding voice of Sango, and tilting his head toward the scene he could tell she uttered the name 'Luca' which was pretty much a bat signal for Rinto at this point. Pushing off with his back legs, he approached the scene. The scent of blood hit his nose and he cringed. Geez, get used to it! You want to be a medic, don't you? He thought, eyes narrowed as he gazed at Sango quickly.

Someone insulting Calina? Whatever. Someone insulting Luca? His instincts kicked in and biting his tongue, he trembled, trying to hold back anger. "You have no right to insult Luca when you're a nasty fuck who nobody cares about and you have to resort to doing gross things to get attention," He said in one breath, then relaxed.

"And especially don't talk to Sango like that. She's gonna beat your ass," He added, hoping it wouldn't look like he just wanted to only defend Luca.

Rinto saw the poodle and relaxed his shoulders, not recognizing the scent on his curled fur. So, he knew he had to lapse into the tried and true 'name and business' saying, and as much as he hated saying that to literally everyone he didn't know, it got the job done, and so he got close to the dog.

He had a violin case too? Oh, that reminded him of something... but he couldn't remember what, and so just sat there like an idiot. Finally, coming to his senses, the male said "Business and name... you're in Shadowclan," He said, gently, deceiving his true nature.

Rinto padded forward, and quietly watched her assemble flower crowns. A distant memory called out to him, and he wondered if she would take custom requests. It wouldn't hurt to just... ask, would it? Ears perked, eyes wide, he approached the sugary pink femme.

"Do you think... could you make matching ones for me and.. someone? Pink flowers, please." Anyone who knew Rinto would know exactly who he wanted to have matching flower crowns with.

Rinto had decided to make himself useful, and with a swallow of his breath, he grabbed a satchel of herbs and medical cures, deciding he'd introduce the clan to some ideas; after all, with no functioning medic, everyone was scrambling when someone got hurt. Rinto couldn't say he didn't want the position, as he knew he was good at what he did, and a bit of him was petty, for Awolnation had never promoted him to a full medic because he died and then Redvelvet demoted him. He was still salty about that- it wasn't his fault!

He took a deep breath, relaxing, as he marched to camp. "Hey- if anyone wants to learn about some herbs, come here. You can also learn about some poisons too, those of you who are... violence inclined." He said, trying to get a good amount of people in here.

"Heal your wounds...?" Rinto asked. It's cause he knows you were a medic, dumb fuck, another voice chimed in, and then he tilted his head. He had rushed in at the moment, in a moment of panic for Luca, but now he was just confused as to what was going on; did Blackpath just show up to get people riled up?

As he stepped towards Luca, Rinto stepped in front of the kitsune. "Don't get any closer, or I'll- I'll lace your next meal with strychnine, mark my words." He said, threatening with poison.

A stakeout. That's all it was. Sitting in a nearby tree, his pink eyes were trained on the dark forms of Luca and some Riverclanner. A pang of jealousy coursed through his body. He could hear Luca's murmured whispers as he talked to someone else: a girl, a pretty girl, a girl with big eyes and a sweet voice. What a slut, he thought, taking a sip of his telekinetically-gripped coffee. He relaxed with a hum, expecting Luca to just chat and part ways. After all, it's what he usually did, right? Nobody really stayed with Luca long enough to warrant any sort of suspicion.

However, he noticed they were awfully close and beginning to talk to each other more. They confessed their love to each other, they complimented each other, they laughed in each other's presence. In that moment, Rinto's heart broke. His focus waning, he dropped the coffee onto the ground below. In twisted luck, the apparent lovers didn't notice him slip away. Now involuntarily stealthy, he returned to The Sanctuary with tears in his eyes.

Where had he gone wrong? He sobbed in emotional agony. He stepped into his den and found the Book of Luca. He held it to his chest, crying, hopelessly lost and alone. He took the book outside, looking at its pages once more and seeing every little note he wrote about his love. Little notes, doodles, everything he ever knew about the object of his desire filled the pages as he himself was filled with emotion. You said you were mine. You said you... loved me, you said we had something. I was all you needed. Apparently not.

He conjured up a matchbox, taking one out with his mouth and striking the side. In seconds the book was on fire. He was a pathetic creature, watching the book burn up like his destroyed heart, and in broad daylight. I based... all I knew about myself on you. I had no identity outside of the idea of being with you. You were my everything. And you lied to me.

Then, he thought, how could he blame Luca? Perfect, angelic Luca could never do anything wrong. Sniffling in tears, he felt bad for ever doubting his love - no, it wasn't Luca's issue. It was that whore's fault. She was nothing but a temptress, a slut who had caught Luca's eye and was manipulating him. He trembled, watching the book burn. He'd start a new book one day.

For now, he knew one thing.

That girl was going to die.
