Open Eyes to a Bright New World? (OPEN)

[Deleted]

Silverkit awoke with a start, squeaking slightly as she bumped into something large and soft. For a moment, her small heart raced with fear before she realized that it was just her mother. She sniffed the air warily, still. She knew that she still hadn't opened her eyes and that it worried her mother, but she was afraid of what might be out there in the world she could not see. She was comfortable with her life how it was now, with soft touches and warm smells. Did she really need to see to live in this world? She burrowed into the warmth of her mossy nest.

Poppykit sighed, boredom taking over. His mother, Robinlily, wasn't letting him outside as punishment for getting in a fight. Could she see he was doing it to protect Acornkit? The small brown rolled over, his green gaze landing on a kitten he hadn't noticed yet. "Hmm...Maybe I could get Acornkit and see if we all want to be friends..." He thought out loud, padding over to the sliver she-cat and gently nudging her. "like hey. You name is like Sliverkit right? Can you like open your eyes so we can like play and junk?" He asked, poking her softly with his nose before sitting down and staring at her with watchful green eyes, waiting for her to do as he had asked. "Like Acornkit might be able to like get her to open them..." He thought, looking around for his black and brown friend.

Silverkit squeaked in fright as something touched her. She backed away from the source of the nudge, her heart racing wildly. It took a few minutes before she processed that the thing had talked -it was another kitten. "Can you, like, open your eyes so we can, like, play and junk?"

Silverkit hesitated. What to do? She sniffed the air cautiously. She was able to identify that the speaker was a male, but not much else about him. The only way to figure out if she could trust him was if she examined him... with her eyes.

She struggled for a moment with the decision before slowly blinking open her eyes. Light streamed into her pupils, and she shut her eyes immediately, squeaking in uncomfortableness. Then she opened her eyes again, this time slower, so that she could get used to the light. She looked around the world for the first time, and a small breath escaped her.

Everything was so big and bright and vivid! Hues of color burst against her pupils and things she had no words for. She could see her mother, white with black stripes, sleeping in the nest peacefully. She looked down at herself and saw a soft, downy pelt of white with greyish splotches. She hoped that the splotches would even out to look more like her mother.

Then she looked up at the kitten who had spoken to her. The kitten was small and sleek, with short brown fur and sparkling green eyes. She wondered absently what her eyes looked like.

"Um... w-what do you m-mean by... play?" she questioned, curious over the unfamiliar word. She knew simple terms; mother, milk, fresh-kill and the like, but... play?

[Frost]

Poppykit smiled proudly, his eyes sparkling with a mixture of pride, happiness, and joy. This was great! Even if the kitten seemed to small to play yet, he could teach her every thing her knew about the outside world she had yet to see. "Hi! I'm like Poppykit, and somewhere around her is like my best friend, Acornkit..." He meowed, gaze sweeping the nursery once again. Lying down, he looked the kitten in the eyes. "Your going to like be my like little sister from like now on." He declared, not answering her question till and little bit later.

"Oh...Well, your like a little bit to new to the world to like play, but in like a few minutes you should be like totally okay with playing and all the junk." He meowed, finishing the sentence with a bright smile like always. "Do you like want to learn about the warrior code?" He questioned, clearing doing his best to take the big brother role of her life for no reason what so ever.  Honestly he was a little bored, so way not go be super friendly to small children while their mother isn't paying attention? Yeah...Poppykit's kind of wired if you hadn't noticed his valley girl accent and super girly attitude.

Silverkit blinked at the hyperness of the male kitten. He was spewing out words so fast that she could barely understand him, and half of the words he was using she didn't understand anyway.

"W-wait... s-slow down," she begged quietly. "W-what's a... a brother? O-or a sister?" she was unfamiliar with these words as she had been the only kitten her mother's latest litter. "A-and.. what's a warrior code?"

[Frost]

Poppykit groaned playfully, plopping down in front of her in his wired little way. "Okay, Sliverkit. My name is like Poppykit. I'm your like bigger brother. A brother is a boy, like me, who is also your like mommy's," He paused for a second, his long brown tail flicking towards the sleeping she-cat next to her. " A sister is a girl cat, like you, who is your mommy's kitten too." He meowed, licking the white and grey she-cat lovingly on the forehead. "Okay, The warrior code is like the rules we have to like live by." He replied, his green eyes sparkling in the sunlight that fluttered though the nursery door.

Silverkit blinked at Poppykit's scattered explanation. "Oh... ok. but... mother didn't have any other kits but me. How can you be my brother if your not one of mother's kits?" She asked curiously. "And... you didn't explain before. What is this... 'play' thing you said earlier?" As she spoke, she looked around the den at the soft, mossy nests. She liked this safe place.

(Sorry about the LATE reply for some reason when I refreshed your post didn't show up )

Sorrelkit was bored. The tortoiseshell kit had woken up from her afternoon nap early and did everything on her list: groom her pelt, take a moment to look at her siblings' weird sleeping positions and take her usual walk in the clearing. Since the list consisted of only three things, she finished it in an hour and returned to the nursery.

After a few moments of quietly sitting down, one of the kits woke up. It was Poppykit. Not feeling up to approaching him, she laid her head down, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. Then another kit woke up with a small squeak. Sorrelkit twitched her tail, annoyed. And there came the noise. Poppykit started talking to the kit, the small kit replied in stammers.

One of the other kits shifted and opened its eyes, probably woken up by Poppykit's voice. Sorrelkit decided to tell that noisy kit to shut up. She cleared her throat, hoping to get the attention of the two kits. Without paying attention Sorrelkit mewed: "Can you guys tone down a bit? Some kits are trying to take naps here." Then her golden eyes rested on the little silver kit, with a tiny hint of gentleness. "Sorry, its supposed to be directed to that other kit." Sorrelkit added, staring pointedly at Poppykit.

((Mind if I jump in? And sorry if I made her mean. I was just trying to see if I could RP Sorrelkit with that personality, cause I just adopted her a few days ago.))

Silverkit jumped at the sudden, sharp voice from beyond Poppykit, scolding them for being so loud. She squeaked nervously, backing away as she noticed a kit with strange splotchy markings of differing colors staring at them pointedly with large golden eyes. "I-I'm s-sorry," she stammered out, fearful that the kit would come over her and do something about their loudness. Then the kit's gaze landed on her, and it turned more gentle. "Sorry, it's supposed to be directed to that other kit."

"O-oh... I-it's a-alright I-I guess..." Silverkit stammered, breaking her gaze away from the other kit to smooth down her ruffled silver and grey-spotted pelt with her tongue.

((I'm fine with it. It is open after all. ^^))

[Frost]

Poppykit sighed, rolling his eyes before turning around to face the annoying she-cat behind him. "Like whatever, Sorrelkit. Go nap in like the clearing and junk." He meowed, the tip of his tail flicking in annoyance. Looking back at the white and grey kitten, Poppykit smiled and licked her forehead again. "Just because. I just like am, Sliverkit." He meowed, his voice soft and gentle. The brown kitten huffed, training his green gaze back to the nursery exit. "Well, playing is like when you do like fun games with other kits and junk. but you have to like do it in the clearing, or the like queens will get mad and junk." He meowed, tilting his head towards the hole in the wall that lead to the large clearing. "Hey, let big brother like see if you can like stand and junk." He said, letting to his paws.

Silverkit wondered at the logic of Poppykit, but supposed that he would know a lot more than her anyway, seeing as how he was older than her and all. She looked up at his next words. "I... I can stand," she mewed softly, rising to her paws, swaying a little. She had padded around a little since she was born, but a lot of her time was spent sleeping next to her mother or drinking from her.

[Deleted]

Just as Sorrelkit expected, the little silver kit squeaked in fright. Feeling a little sorry for that little kit, she mewed in a soft and gentle voice: "We could play a game soon, kit. Maybe tomorrow." 

Poppykit turned to her and she heard a rude retort. "Dens are made for sleeping, clearings are made for playing. Now, out Poppykit." Sorrelkit snapped in an annoyed tone before laying her head down and closing her eyes. Her siblings were still asleep, so maybe she should sleep too. Poppykit started talking again. Sorrelkit raised her head. "What did I just say?" the tortoiseshell kit hissed.

[Frost]

Poppykit rolled his eyes once again, a frown sneaking onto his features. "Ok Sorrelkit, just like shut up!" He yelled, whipping around and looking the oddly colored she-cat in her eyes. "I cant like go outside, so just like shut up! Like your not my mom!" He hissed, trying to control his volume so he didn't scare sweet, little Sliverkit. Poppykit once again rolled his green gaze and turned back to face Sliverkit. "Tomorrow, we like play." He meowed dramatically before turning around and sashaying away to his nest.

Silverkit squeaked in fear as the two kittens began snapping at each other loudly. She backed further into her nest as her ears fell back against her head. She whimpered fearfully and buried her head under her paws. She curled her body into a tiny ball, trying to make herself as small as possible, as if to make herself less of a target to the arguing kittens.

[Deleted]

Poppykit had started yelling. This was getting out of hand. The queens had already been giving them pointed glares. Sorrelkit bit back another retort. For some reason, Poppykit stopped talking. She opened one eye and saw him heading back to his moss bed. Finally, peace and quiet, Sorrelkit thought, licking her one of her sleeping siblings on the head.

That was until she saw the small silver kit curled up in a ball. She probably scared the poor thing with her loud voice. That had happened to her once. She also got caught in an argument between two kits. Sorrelkit forgot what it was about, but she thinks she knows what the little kit is feeling now. 

Being the cat who always did what she thought she should do, she shook off her sleepiness, slowly padded up to the kit with her head down and sat in front of her, making herself look as small as possible so as to not scare the kit more. "Sorry about that. I tend to have lots of arguments over petty little things." Sorrelkit apologised in a soft and quiet mew. Though that loud kit started it, she wanted to add. "So what's your name, kit?" she said instead, using the same tone as before.
