OOC: I thought it would be nice to get the family together...

Longcloud`s own coughs woke the black and white tom. He grunted in annoyance as he attempted to detach himself from his messy nest. Longcloud`s small emerald green eyes darted across the warriors den as he struggled to stand up. His gazed lingered upon his black littermate, Scorchmask. Longcloud nervously tried to back away, but with no luck, due to still laying down and in a small nest. Quickly realizing the problem, Longcloud scrambled out of the nest, trying to make as little noise as he could, though failing terribly. Longcloud almost tread over his sister, Blackpine after hurriedly backing away. Trying to stabilize himself, Longcloud placed one paws at the edge of his siter`s nest, quite near to her face. Longcloud firmly told himself to return to his nest, as it dawned on him that it was quite mouse brained to be afraid of his own littermate. Besides, the sun was barely rising. With a nervous chuckle, Longcloud returned to his nest, trying to get comfortable with quite a lot of movement and rustling.

Scorchmask had long awoken to the sounds of coughing, hacking, and gagging around him. He was still somewhat of a healthy cat, with slight coughs of his own. Next cat who coughs will meet my claws, he thought in annoyance.

but the noises gradually ceased as cats fell asleep, with the occasional unconscious splutter. Scorchmask had almost nodded off when more noises jerked him awake. Who is it now? I'm just about to rip their faces of... I'm trying to sleep, and so is everyone else! You're disturbing the whole Clan!

He smelled Longcloud's scent wafting over, and there was a lot of scuffling, scraping claws, and crunching. He heard Longcloud scramble around for a bit before returning to his nest. The nearly-black tom had closed his eyes when more rustling was heard from Longcloud.

"ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT!" roared Scorchmask, standing up from his own nest. What did it matter if it woke everyone? They would see him beat up his brother, anyway, and probably thank him for doing so. "Longcloud, just what in the name of StarClan are you doing? Get to sleep, you annoying, mouse-brained furball! I'm trying to get some rest, and here you are, disturbing everyone!"

Longcloud gripped tightly onto the hope that he hadn`t waken up his brother. "There`s a slight chance," he kept telling himself. It didn`t occur to him that perhaps it would be helpful to stop moving around. Unfortunately, Longcloud couldn`t be considered 'brilliant'. Yes fast thinker, but with a mind to do the most reckless of things.

Longcloud shook with fright on the inside as his brother stood up and surprised Longclud. The young warrior`s green eyes widened as he eyed his littermate warily, ignoring Scorchmask`s angry words and trying to figure out his brother` next movement. At that moment, Longcloud was wishing he wasn`t alive. For the most part, Longcloud tried to avoid Scorchmask`s wrath. Actually, avoid him all together.

Realizing there was no point in making Scorchmask madder by not listening, Longcloud decided to actually listen to his brother. Though Longcloud didn`t hesitate to roll his eyes. "I`m trying to get some rest as well. And I certainty don`t a flea bitten cat yelling at me as I attempt to go back to sleep. And disturbing everyone? I believe you`re the one doing that," Longcloud retorted.

Blackpine had been asleep in her own nest until the sudden yowlings broke out and caused her to whip her head up, ears pricked in attention. Her eyes focused to the darkness only to see that her two brothers were awake beside her and facing one another. Now? At this time of night?

"Thats enough! No cat is going to get any sleep at all if you two keep bickering," The black and white she-cat said in a low voice, narrowing her dark amber eyes in a strict seriousness. Tomorrow she was supposed to begin training her apprentice, but how was she supposed to do that if her brothers continued to growl at one another? She had many plans and she had to be well rested and alert. Starclan knew what Slateshade would say if she trotted out of camp half asleep on her own paws. He would only be too happy to jeer, she was sure.

A small, dark gray tabby tom was peacefully sleeping in his warm nest in the warriors den, dreaming of the thrill of the hunt. but before the dream could come to a satisfying end, Ashleap heard muffled coughing, and then scuffling, coming from a nest not far from his. He let out a sigh before settling deeper into his nest as the noise began to ease. but then, there was a loud yowl heard in the den full of sleeping cats.

The experienced warrior peeked open his hazel eyes, really hoping that it wasn't one of his kits. but, with slight fury, Ashleap saw his two mousebrained sons facing each other. Instantly awake, the small tom stood up before hopping out of the nest. He made a beeline for Longcloud and Scorchmask, standing next to Blackshine.

"What do you two think you're doing, probably waking up the whole clan with your fighting?!" he said quietly n a low growl, tail lashing. "You're fighting like two kits! You guys should know better than that!" Ashleap glared at them, his hazel eyes narrowing. He then turned his hazel gaze to Longcloud with concern showing in his eyes, pointing with the tip of his long tail to the entrance of the den, mewing, "You also better go see the medicine cats. I don't want you catching greencough, if you haven't already."

OOC: Apologies for the late reply, I haven`t been checking my participation box lately.
Muse: Done for it.

Longcloud`s normally reasonable demeanor which the black and white tom often held, was consumed by his sleepless night and the fact that his nest was quite chaotic. More than likely Longcloud would have joyfully hit his nest by then, not feeling the least bit to argue with his mouse-brained brother. Unfortunately, Longcloud seemed too riled up for that.

It came quite a shock that Longcloud might snap at even his sister, being so very cordial to the females. Obviously Scorchmask only provoked the already agitated feelings of his brother, who was currently seething in rage. More than likely, just the presence of Scorchmask ruined the black tom`s day.

"That's enough! No cat is going to get any sleep at all if you two keep bickering," which was spoke by Blackpine.

It seemed as if Blackpine had caught Longcloud off guard. He didn`t notice her coming and her voice quite surprised the young warrior. Using a fierce angry voice, Longcloud retorted angrily, asking his sister to eat some rats, if she was so cheerful at this time of night, making very little sense and showing how tired Longcloud truly was. Later on, Longcloud would regret those strange and no sense words. but of course, the 'present' and 'now' was not 'later'.

Longcloud, before his father had already neared, had decided upon his answer to his father. After the black tom`s father`s little speech, Longcloud started ranting upon how horrible his siblings were being, complaining about how apathetic his siblings were. Then Longcloud proceeded to rant upon another subject, what he intended to do before. "TalonClan sucks, with all this coughing going abot. The world sucks cause it made me sick. I CAN`T EVER GET ANY SLEEP THESE DAYSSSS! NO FAIIIIIIRRR!!! Blackpine and Scorchmaks get all sleep in the world and Scorchmask is a heartless, noisy, mouse-brained, undeniably evil cat!" Longcloud screeched, sounding very much like a childish maniac.

ooc//: who would like to open this thread up to other cats willing to complain about the noise?

[Lionhearted]

(I'm just going to say that if the muse is dead then the thread may as well be too, as it's not going to move forward in anyway.)

The black-and-white tom clenched his jaws to stop himself from taking a huge bite out of his brother's throat. Why, why, why did Pebblestar have to make him a warrior? Scorchmask closed his eyes in frustration and stood up, his ears ringing.

"Look, you noisy, filthy piece of mouse dung," he spat at Longcloud, jamming in as many swear words as possible," I don't need your kittish whines, and neither does the rest of the Clan. Grow up, will you? Your name may bear the sign of a warrior, but you are still a stupid little kit at heart! When will you learn to be a little considerate of others? I'm tired of this, Longcloud. Consider yourself disowned from me." Fuming, Scorchmask stalked outside into the clearing and slumped down, relieved to receive some alone time.
