"Sheesh, and cats call me paranoid..." Renny muttered, mostly to himself, taking the time to lick the ruffled and unkempt fur on his tail and flanks.

[The Kingpin]

"Then i suppose you don't want anything else?" he growled as he walked, now walking past the back of the stables, hearing the sounds of the horses within...

[Hopeflower]

Insolitus made a low noise in his throat, not quite a growl. "I'd rather not take the chance," he murmured.

Demontalon cocked her head. "I think I'm good for now," she meowed.

[dinoman666]

Renny yawned after he finished grooming, mewing, "Then where do you expect us to sleep tonight?"

[Hopeflower]

"I'll start looking for a den when the sun starts to go down," Insolitus meowed. "It's barely sunhigh. Relax."

[The Kingpin]

"More for me then" growled Wraith with a chuckle as he moved quickly towards the barn ahead. while most creatures outside would be bone bare and hungry, the barn mice would be nice, plump and juicy by the remnants of various domesticated animal food around. if he felt adventurous enough, he may even consider seeing if there was an owl in there he could get at, though it was unlikely this time as he'd first need to find one, then produce a plan of attack to catch it. if things went well, he'd consider bringing a few with him for the kill pile next time he was here. for now though he had to get in...

[dinoman666]

"Psh, I can relax when I'm dead," replied Renny matter-of-factly.

[Hopeflower]

"Go crazy," Demontalon purred, stretching her jaws in a yawn before she followed more cautiously.

Insolitus rolled his eyes, taking the last mouthful from the rabbit. He chewed and swallowed, then sat up. "Shall we keep going?"

[The Kingpin]

as Wraith reached the barn, he slunk around the side of it, glancing at Demontalon every now and again to make sure she wasn't falling behind, before sneaking in through the entrance...

[Hopeflower]

Demontalon slipped into the barn behind Wraith, pricking her ears. She wasn't quite sure what to expect.

[The Kingpin]

the stale smell of dust, old wood and various farm tools and feed greeted them. there was a fair amount of hay on the ground, sacks of grain and animal feed along the walls and in piles, and a faint rustlings and skittering audible from almost everywhere. it was too quiet for humans to hear over the noise they and the horses would normally be making, but to keen ears like a cat's, it was easy to tell. with the cooling weather, the population in the farm increased, more of the mice holding up inside the barn. Wraith moved his head near Demontalon's ear, hissing quietly. "Around leaf-bare this place is crawling with plump barn mice escaping the cold. the twolegs have tried to chase them out but haven't managed so far. they tried poison a while back so you'll need to watch what you're eating if you hunt here"...

[Hopeflower]

Demontalon's eyes widened. Poison? "How would you tell which were safe?" she murmured, her quivering whiskers betraying her nervousness.

[dinoman666]

Renny stood up, flicking his tail. "Lead the way," he replied simply.

[The Kingpin]

"Well. luckily the poison started working really fast. all it'd take was keeping the mouse pinned for a few minutes and if it suddenly started slowing down and dying, it was poisoned. that, and it had a very....unique smell. smells like...well...not quite sure. smells like the feet of the monsters on the Thunderpath....don't ask how i know what they smell like. very long story. smells like that" hissed Wraith as he pointed at a tractor tire nearby...

[Hopeflower]

Demontalon bit her tongue to keep from laughing. "I see," she murmured, trying not to grin. "What Twoleg monster feet smell like aside..." She had to bite her tongue again to stifle a snicker, despite her next question being quite serious. "The poison isn't still around, is it?"

Insolitus nodded and started walking again. Jagara, mother to us all, he sighed mentally. I beg you to give me patience. He knew he was going to need it.

[The Kingpin]

"Who knows. might be. hence why i suggest you watch what you put in your mouth" growled Wraith. with that, he slipped into the shadows, going behind the tire and under a saddle stand, and between a few bales of hay, a faint squeek coming from that general area as, moments later, Wraith walked out, a fairly plump looking mouse chittering and twisting and squirming to get free, hanging by the tail in Wraith's mouth. as he reached Demontalon he dropped it, pinning it on the back with a paw to keep it from moving or biting. "This is an example of a healthy mouse. no strange scents on it or anything. it's completely clean" growled Wraith as he put some extra weight on the head to keep it from scaring the other mice...

[Hopeflower]

"I don't know about other cats, but I don't just stick anything I find on the ground in my mouth," Demontalon mewed, leaning forward cautiously to sniff the mouse.

[dinoman666]

Renny trotted after Insolitus, looking around curiously, obviously not having been out in the world on his own for very long...

[The Kingpin]

Wraith chuckled. "Good. you'll find that'll help alot with life as a loner" growled the tom before he swiftly bit the mouse over the head, killing it. the tom began to eat the mouse, using his claws like surgical blades to cut apart the mouse, getting rid of the digestive system before wolfing down the rest. "Now...you want to take a break? or are you up to carrying on?" growled Wraith...

[Hopeflower]

Demontalon started flexing her claws in anticipation. "Let's go!" she mewed, her mismatched eyes lighting up.

Insolitus let out a soft purr as the sunlight soaked into his gray tabby pelt. That feels good, he thought, stopping to arch his back in a luxurious stretch. His claws extended to sink into the earth.
