PARADOX

Fullbody || Headshot

The small she-cat was a bit on the husky side. Her fur was a light lavender, fluffy and about medium-length. She had long firetruck red mane and mismatched eyes. She sat in the middle of a clearing, watching the stars overhead. She silently marveled at how similar they looked to the Orbs. Her ears flicked and her Ankh earrings caught in the light of the moon. She looked around, her power picking up on the presence of another. The x-shaped pupil of her red-orange eye quivered and she felt nervousness creeping up on her.



Bouncing into the clearing was a tall, fluffy tom with vibrant pink fur and faint lighter tabby stripes. He looked around and planted his magenta paws firmly. He didn't notice the she-cat and was suddenly very sad to be alone. His dark green eyes shimmered. He sighed and gave a sad little "wop." Why is it that when I search for company that I find I am all alone? This is most depressing.

OOC; Fuzzybutt is essentially a personification of all my derps.

SHADE

A tom padded towards the clearing, wanting to stay away from the Gathering and to find a good place where his shadow could reappear. His shadow was his only friend, even if it doesn't talk to him. The long-haired black cat looked around first before entering. There was a fluffy lavender she-cat and a fluffy pink tom. They looked quiet enough. He stepped into the clearing and his shadow reappeared. The shadow walked away from the tom, and sniffed a flower. It looked back at him and bowed its head, before pouncing on a mouse. The tom sat down, watching it run around, ignoring the other cats.

From his current location, the pink tom could see the shadow moving about. His dark green eyes glimmered in wonder. He slowly approached the tom with a regal air, tail raised in greeting. He neared and dipped his head slightly, a sign of respect as he was not looking to get on anyone's bad-side. "Wop," he said, sounding impressed. The thoughts behind the word traveled into the head of the other tom. Fantastic! Dear sir, is that your shadow? Truly, I am amazed! However does it do that?

SHADE

As he was watching his shadow, the pink tom approached Shade and dipped his head. "Now don't do that. I'm not your leader." The black tom told him, but he secretly liked seeing that gesture of respect directed to him.

"Wop." The tom said to him.

He must have looked confused, because he heard the tom's voice in his head, saying: "Dear sir, is that your shadow? Truly, I am amazed! However does it do that?"

Right on cue, his shadow padded up to them and sat beside him. "Well, it's been like that ever since I was a kit, a combination of my parents' powers. I can't really explain it though." Shade replied.

"What about your powers? Where did you get them?" Shade asked the tom, trying to keep the conversation up.

The strange cat marveled at the living shadow. "Wop," he said again. Truly splendid! came the delighted translation. When he was asked about his own powers, his brow furrowed and he made a quiet hmm, the only sound he seemed thusfar capable of making other than 'wop.'

"Wop," he said thoughtfully. I haven't got any powers, really. Other than the telepathic translations, of course. I was created in a lab as far as I am aware. By someone with too much time on their hands, I suppose.

"Wop," the pink cat replied. Truly splendid! the cat's voice said in his mind.

The cat looked like he was thinking for a while, and then said "Wop," again. Shade listened to the translation in his mind. Well, that explains the unusual cat's appearance. No cat was supposed to be born with pink fur, right?

"Well, that's probably the reason why you utter the word 'wop' all the time. They didn't spend much time on your vocal chords, did they?" Shade asked. Obviously, the cat was going to reply with 'wop' again.

"Wop." No, not really.  He paused for a moment. "Wop," he said again. Though I don't particularly mind, I at least wish the one thing I did say wasn't so...ridiculous...My manner of speech is far too sophisticated for such a meaningless thing. He huffed slightly, his tail swishing in an indignant way.

OOC; the real reason for his only saying 'wop' is that I would accidentally say that every time I tried to spell 'woo.' It became a bit of a running joke and so I added it to his vocabulary and erased everything else. Lol.

The cat replied with two 'wop's.

"It doesn't sound ridiculous. It actually sounds pretty funny." Shade replied, trying to suppress a smile. Not knowing what else to say, he looked away and saw his shadow running around, scaring off all the prey.

"Scare them all off, and I won't get dinner." Shade meowed to his shadow. The shadow stopped, sat down and started grooming itself.

((Now I know. XD))
