Too Hot to do Nothing (OPEN)

[Trickle]

-Pollux-

A short huff escaped from the flesh toned cats lips.  The weather outside was gorgeous, but there was not much to do.  Part of her wanted to venture in to the woods and explore a bit, but she had done that quite a few times in the past few days and nothing new had happened.  The other part of her wanted to just bask in the warm air that had engulfed the area, but of course, she had done this too many times.  There had to be something more to these hot days than just basking and light exploring.  As of now she was perched on the outside windowsill, in the shade of a tree in the garden.  Her thin whip-like tail was curled around her heavy paws and her pale eyes moved to look at the fence.  Another house loomed over it, perhaps there was another neighborhood cat over there that would like to join her this fine afternoon.   

After a long stretch, she was off.  Pollux leaped from the single story sill and on to the grass.  Any morning dew that had collected on the grass was now long gone. The prickly feeling was rather enjoyable to Pollux.  It reminded her of the way the carpet felt after her twolegs took the loud beast over it to clean it.  The beast was not her favorite thing, for it was much too loud and rather frightening when it got too close.  but, she wouldn’t admit that to anyone, not even the dog that couldn’t understand her. 

The thought of the loud cleaning thing made her walk a little faster, and soon she was up on the fence.  She balanced precariously, her tail waving around like a flag until she was able to stabilize herself.  Her whiskers and nose twitched as she searched the air for any scent of another cat nearby.  There was something not too far away, and it smelled quite feline.  So, without  a second thought, Pollux let out  a loud mew. “Hello?” She called, leaning forward curiously to see who it was that was lurking about in the shade.

OOC: Bored, so I thought I'd join in

Moonsky watched the she-cat from the cool shade of the shadows. Her tail waved slowly and lazily as she watched.

"Hello?" The cat suddenly turned around, looking into the shadows.

"Really, you should of seen my white pelt by now," Moonsky purred as she padded out. "I'm Moonsky. I'm a loner. Are you a kittypet? What's your name?" She smiled. "Are you new around here? If you are , you should come to the One Cats gathering. You should meet some cats there."

Moonsky panted, glancing towards the bright sun. "Hot, isn't it?" She mewed, looking back at the cat.

[Trickle]

Pollux only had to look for a short moment when she noticed a little flash of white.  And then, she realized that flash of was light was, in fact, another cat.  The other cat noticed her just as she noticed it, and as soon as it padded out words started pouring from the white cat.  The cats voice made it clear that Moonsky was in fact another she-cat.  For some reason Pollux had not been able to fully detect of which gender the cat was, but it was all fine now.  In fact, it was better than fine, the hairless cat was beyond pleased to be meeting an unfamiliar face.  

After the bombardment of facts and questions, Pollux was finally able to get a word in as Moonsky settled.  "I am Pollux, and yea, I am a kittypet."  The term was odd, but she had heard it used before by other loners that trotted around her home.  Especially the ones with the two-part names.  Part of her wondered if this cat was one of the forest was she had heard about, but Moonsky had claimed to be a loner and Pollux decided not to question it.  No, that would be rude especially sense she had just met this white she-cat.  After she had spoken, she hopped down from her perch and settled on to the grass in front of Moonsky.

"I suppose I am relatively new around here."  She mewed, nodding to herself thoughtfully before continuing.  The other cat had mentioned something about 'One Cats' and Pollux would be lying if she said she had no idea who, or what, they were.  "One cats gathering? Who are they?"  Her voice was pitched with curiosity.  Meeting more new cats seemed very appealing, but she new better than to dive head first in to something she didn't know about.  

The kittypet nodded in agreement at Moonskys remark about the heat, though her interest was still in these 'One Cats'.

"It must be incredibly easy to be a kittypet,"
The she-cat remarked.

"No offense meant,"
She added quickly, not wanting to offend the potential friend.

As Moonsky looked closer, she discovered the cat didn't have fur.

"Where did your fur go!" She exclaimed, not thinking. Quickly she slapped her tail over her mouth, and crouched down.

"Sorry," She whispered.

At Pollux's curious expression, Moonsky explained.

"The One Cats are a loner group in the forest. I'm not currently part of it, but they're hostimg a gathering for any-cat. You could come, if you wanted." Moonsly sat down and curled her tail over her paws.

[Trickle]

"Oh, and yea I suppose it is pretty easy, I guess."  Pollux furrowed her brow for a moment, unsure if that was the right thing to say.  but her uncertainty vanished and changed in to amusement as the white she-cat let out a surprised chirp, exclaiming the lack of her fur. A little chuckle escaped her, for she was surprised it took the little cat this long to notice.  Usually, she would be a little annoyed by such a question, but there was something about Moonsky that was more inviting and pleasing than others.  "I am a sphynx cat, I think we are well known for not having any fur!"  Her voice came out as a little giggle. 

Pollux leaned forward as she listened to what Moonsky had to say about the One Cats.  A loner group in the forest, how interesting!  She had thought only those odd named cats lived in the woods, but clearly she was mistaken.  What was even more interesting was that the gathering was for all cats.  That must mean it includes home-cats like herself.  An excited little chuff came from the odd cat before she spoke, "I think that sounds like it could be fun!"  Excitement played with her voice, making it rise excitedly.  but, she didn't want to go alone, that was for sure.  "Do you think we could go together?"  There was only a hint of slight shyness in her voice.  She had only just met this cat, who knows, perhaps Moonsky was a crazy cat that did crazy things.  However, Pollux was not one to make wild accusations.  And she really didn't want to go to this big gathering not knowing anyone else.  That would just be uncomfortable.

Moonsky nodded. "I appreciate the hardships of a wild cats life, but everyone is different," She mewed.

"A Sphynx?I don't think I've heard of them, but if you say you are, I think you know better than me!"
She giggled uncertaintly, not really used to it.


"Do you think we could go toghether?" Moonsky laughed as she realized they had said it at the same time. "That would be great!" All of a sudden she felt a weight lift of her shoulders. Smoke didn't even wan't to be with her, remember? She could look for him later.

"Do you want to explore? I know as must about Twoleg-place as you do. It might be fun!"

[Trickle]

The laugh that Moonsky had let out when they spoke at the same time was contagious.  Pollux added her own jingling laugh to the mix for a moment before she agreed that they should go together.  "Wonderful!  We can meet here again too."  Her face moved to express a look of sheer happiness.  This cat was a nice one, that was for sure.  Her offer to go explore the area was even more confirmation that she was a good one.  The excitement nearly had Pollux feeling like a kit ready to play again.  It had been a while since she had had a close friend to explore with.  

"Yea!  I have only ever been two houses out and around from my own home and in to the woods a bit.  but, this place is certainly much bigger than that!"  The she-cat rose to her feet, her tail lifting just above the ground to keep it from dragging.  "Lets go, uh, this way."  Pollux gestured to the direction back from which Moonsky had arrived.  "Earlier this morning, when I was looking out the window, I noticed some rabbits running around in that yard, I bet they aren't too far away and I have never hunted a rabbit before."  Her blue gaze moved to Moonsky before trotting a little ways.  Once again she looked back, as if to see if the loner like that idea also.

[Deleted]

Moonsky giggled once more as Pollux laughed with her. She felt happy at having a friend, just a friend, not a crush or mate. "So how about you wait here every night. When the gathering is hapenimg, I'll fetch you!"

She had not been sure about the she-cat, probaly because of having no fur, but now she realized that she was really fun.

"Ummmm… yeah!" She agreed, heading after the Sphinx. As she heard that she had never hunted rabbits, Moonsky brightened up even more.

"Ohhhh! I can teach you! I love hunting rabbits; even the chase is fun!" She giggled. She was becoming a fun and giggly cat around Pollux. Much diffrent than hef normal cranky self.

[Trickle]

The plan to meet up from the gathering was perfect.  It wouldn't be too difficult to get out and wait for Moonsky every night, she would just have to find a way to get out of the house before the twolegs closed the doors and windows.  Maybe she could slip out before sunset and then just stay out for the night.  Surely the weather wouldn't get too cold and she believed that her twolegs would keep one window open if they realized she wasn't in the house.  Of course, she could worry about the little details later, for now she had something else to do.  

She picked up her pace as Moonsky trotted up next to her.  Moonsky seemed to be beyond excited by the fact that Pollux hadn't learned to hunt rabbits, and Pollux was happy that the white and silver cat was willing to teach her. "Really?! You would do that?  I have always wanted to be able to catch one of them." It was a skill that Pollux always wished she had.  Time and time again she would try and hunt a rabbit the same way she hunted mice and she would not prevail.  She was aware of the fact that rabbits had excellent hearing, and she would try and be silent with her approach but they would always run away before she could get close enough to lunge for it. 

Pollux looked both ways before crossing the skinny path that the twolegs took to get places, they were often running or riding on things called bikes.  The kittypet had almost been squished by one of those things and it wouldn't suffice to say that it was terrifying.  She reached the other yard and looked at Moonsky.  "Are you able to smell them?"  Pollux scented the air for a moment, but there was so many scents that she couldn't pick out just one.  Let alone that of a rabbit.

OOC: I love how quickly they become friends <3

[Deleted]

(OOC: I know! I think they could even be best friends! And I think your really nice also!)

Moonsky was happy she could teach someone something.

"Right. Rabbits have excellent hearing, but we're smarter. Do you see any rabbits?" As soon as she said it, Moonsy spotted a head poking out of the branches, the nose twitching, until it hopped out. Moonsky drew farther into the undergrowth, putting out a tail to block Pollux from going further.

"Watch me," She whisered as she crouched down, sliding each paw silently across the grass. In the distance a bird crowed, and the rabbit looked up and ran.

Moonsky didn't even bother chasing it. She studied a tramped hole in the bushes which the animal had went through. "Do you think they are hiding in a hidden meadow?" She said, her eyes blazing with an excited fire as she turned to Pollux.

[Trickle]

The house-cat slowed her pace greatly as they got closer to the bushes.  Pollux had just opened her mouth to say she hadn't spotted one of the brown furred rabbits yet when Moonskys tail extended in front of her, keeping the hairless cat from wandering further out.  She quickly dropped in to a crouch so the rabbit wouldn't see her, just as Moonsky had done next to her.  She only nodded, remaining silent, as she watched the pale loner creep forward towards the rabbit.  Polluxs tail twitched excitedly as she watched the precision her friend had while she stalked the rabbit.  There was no way that that rabbit was going to get away.  but, she stood corrected as a bird let out a shrill call over head.

The rabbit fled immediately, so Pollux figured she could slip out of the cover now.  The grass under her paws was soft, unlike the grass in her yard.  It was quite pleasing to her soft paw pads.  The feeling had her slightly distracted as she walked over to where Moonsky was.  The pale cat was looking at the hole the rabbit had made as it fled through the underbrush.  The idea of a hidden meadow made her eyes widen. "Well there is only one way to find out!"  Pollux practically hopped in place was she spoke.  Her head extended to look in to the bush, but there was a longer rabbit trail that led deeper in.  "We are gonna have to wiggle through there, but I bet it will be worth it!"  She pulled her head out and looked to Moonsky with burning blue eyes.  "Wanna go first?"

OOC: I definitely think they are on the fast track to being best friends.  and Thank you hehe <3 So are youu c: 

[Deleted]

(OOC: I know!! For some reason my character liking your character makes me like you XD. And if we roleplayed enough, we miht become best friends on-site!)

Moonsky glanced at Pollux as the fur-less cat crept up beside her. She nodded at her reasoning, trying to stay quiet. "Okay," She whispered, crawling through the small tunnel. The branches scraped her spine as she pulled out.

Moonsky stoped, gaping. There was a waterfall, barely making more than a trickle. The grass was green and lush. Willow trees bordered the far side, while rabbits hopped around, still not noticing her. She backed into the tunnel, as to not startle them.

"Do you think this could be our secret hide-out?" She whispered, excitement filling her voice. She flattened herself to the ground, as that sometimes helped with excitement, but her ears still twitched happily.

[Trickle]

Pollux watched Moonsky disappear in to the bushes, but she could just hear her moving around in them.  She sat down in front of the hole and curled her tail over her paws, just waiting for the little silver and white cat to pop  her head back out.  Time passed and she almost started to get worried about the loner. So, the kittypet decided to venture in to the tunnel also.  It was wide enough for the two she-cats so there wasn't a problem.  On her way in, she nearly ran right in to Moonsky. Pollux almost thought the other cats eyes would fall out of her head because they had grown so large.  Her blue eyes peered over her shoulders and she saw what Moonsky was so excited about.  There was a clearing that was more beautiful than anything she had ever seen before.

"Yes yes yes!"  Her excited whisper almost rose as she agreed.  This would be their place, and their place only.  Something about being able to share something beautiful with someone she considered a great friend made her beyond happy.  She had to stop herself from running out there and rolling around like a happy kit. "I really wanna go run out there, but all of those rabbits would just run away too."  The excitement in her voice hadn't left and her tail flicked back and forth happily.

OOC: Thats exactly what I was thinking! I bet we will be tbh.  Character liking = roleplayer friendship <3

(OOC: One thread, thats all it takes. It's… oh my gosh! I just realized that Pollux is the first female I have rped Moonsky with!!!)

Moonsky glanced back as Pollux nearly bumped into her.

"Sorry." She whispered, her excitement rising as the fur-less cat agreed.

"We could always meet here for the gathering," She said softly, trying not to scare the rabbits.

"So, to catch a rabbit you have to stay low to the ground. They have excellent hearing, but I think it'll be more fun if we work toghether, so we won't need to worry about that.

"Position yourself in front of that rabbit. I'll be right behind it. When we're ready, you suprise it. It will run towards me, then I catch it! After that we can probaly just run around after the rabbits, because they'll be allerted. As I said before, 'Even the chase is fun!'"

[Trickle]

"Yea, lets meet here.  I bet no one else will ever find it if we are careful."  Pollux nodded, whispering her agreement to Moonsky.  This place was probably beautiful at night.  The idea of coming here every night was more than pleasing. After another moment, the conversation changed back to the rabbits that were hopping around so happily in the clearing.  The kittypet listened very carefully to what Moonsky was saying.  Being able to catch a rabbit would be beyond wonderful.  The loner had a game plan all set out for what was to be done.  It sounded like a fool-proof plan.  Plus, they got to chase the rabbits after they caught one.  "Ok, I think I can do that."  There was no uncertainty in her voice though, just joy.  

With that, she turned and started to creep around to the other side of the clearing.  The sphinx moved slowly, for she didn't want to mess up this hunt.  The twigs from the bushes scratched at her back, but it didn't hurt.  Perhaps she would only have a few red marks on her delicate skin, but that wouldn't be much of a problem.  As soon as she reached the other side, she peered out of the bushes, looking to Moonsky, waiting for the signal to fling herself out there and scare the rabbit. 

OOC: Moonsky is the first CAT I have ever had Pollux in a thread with!  It's just meant to be xD
