A Fireside Dance [Open to all :)]

[*~:Marauder:~*]

Marauder peeked out from his hiding place among the bushes. He'd sen the faint glimmer of light through the parkland trees, like the flash of prey's eyes in the dark. He knew what the dancing little light meant, and what kind of night it had in store for him and his band of Tziganes.
Pricking his ears up as far as they would go, Maruader scented the air. Other than the lingering sour scent of their strange brown water they had with them, the scent of Twolegs had dissapeared into the calm, cool night. Luckly, these ones had left their fire burning.
Eyes gleaming with excitment and heart fluttering happily like a free bird on the wind, Marauder whispered softly, "They're gone, let's move in!"
With a quick leap and a bound, he exploded into the waiting fireside, warm with a pool of golden light.

[~-Stormy-~]

A young calico leapt after her leader, grace and fluidness in her step, and it was obvious she was a dancer. Purring, her eyes attached to the fire, and she felt it's warmth flow through her.
It had been a while since she felt the comfort of a glowing fire.
"Stupid two-legs, leaving the fire going. But good for us." she purred.

[*~:Marauder:~*]

Marauder's heart swelled with pride for the pretty young she-cat. Being the first to dance at the fire took a lot of courage.
"Too true, Aurora," Marauder purred with a winning grin, "Let's make this one extra good! You never know when the next one will be!"
Warmth flowing through every hair on his pelt, he joined the calico in dance, the single hoop in his ear glinting in the firelight as he moved.

[.:Night:.]

A handsome golden coloured tom followed after Marauder through the bushes. Leaping out into the clearing he saw the glimmering flames dancing in the centre of the park. His bright green eyes stared deep into the flames until he could see the twisting and turning shapes like something coming alive. Tearing his eyes from the fire he looked up into the cloudless night where the stars shone bright. Apollo pranced out to the fire, "Yes, it's very convenient for us..." he purred. Then suddenly he asked the two cats, "I haven't decided yet, but do you think I should get two extra piercing for my right ear?" He tried to flip his eyes to unsuccefully get a look at his pierced ear, then grinned.

[~-Stormy-~]

Aurora shrugged at Apollo, and let out a deep breath. She'd practiced dance as much as possible, and now she could shine.
She sweeped her tail as a beat, eyes shining. "Too bad we have no music." she meowed before jumping into movement.
She leaped into the air, doing graceful spins that all fit together to make one beautiful movement. She landed on the ground on four paws, and then side stepped twice, leaning her weight to the left while moving right. She got onto her hind paws, twirling around before jumping up and doing a front flip.
She had become a very skilled dancer.

(I wanted to make her a dancer, like me. (: )

[*~:Marauder:~*]

Marauder spun into a flying leap, and landed beside Apollo, eyes flashing excitedly.
"An extra piercing? The more the merrier, I say!"
He yowled wildly into the night, praising the wonderful circumstnces.

[.:Night:.]

((cool (: i used to be a dancer to)) ((and sorry 'bout Apollo, lol. I made him so his ego a little large xD))

Apollo grinned at his leader, "As always, Marauder. I think you would be excited about anything new!" The young tom laughed and then joined in with the dance. Making wild jumps in the air, Apollo made his way around the fire when a glint in the bushes caught his eye. ((he's going to dicover a boombox lol)) Prancing over to the bushes dancing along to his own beats, Apollo grapped the glinty thing with his claws and dragged it out into the open. It was silver and kind of ovular. Apollo sniffed it then pressed a button, like he had seen two legs do before him. A world of music and rhythms floted into the air, creating a wonderful dancing tune.

((i actually looked up a song, lol. it's Starry Night by Ottmar Liebert. it's good ^^))

[*~:Marauder:~*]

(LOL is ovular a word? If so, it is my new favourite XD)

Marauder almost missed a beat in his dancing as a loud, pounding rythm shook the ground around him. Eyes wide and ears pricked forward, he located the source of the noise. Seeing Apollo beside it, he yowled you, "We've got a genius in our midst!"
With that, he kicked his dancing up a notch, whirling and spinning like a butterfly in flight. He, however, was amatuer compared to the other, more trained dancers.

[.:Night:.]

((not in the dictionary, lol. but it's on Urban Dictionary xD))

Apollo's cocky grin widened, as the newly discovered song floated into the air. Apollo's body caught the movement of the music and he started to whirl and twirl around the fire with the other two cats.

Onyx peered through the bushes and caught sight of his brother's colourful coat flash past the fire. The tom's ears perked up as a new rhythm filled the air. It was just so catchy! Onyx jumped out of the bushes and joined his friends in the fire. "Greetings, brother!" he yowled to Marauder over the music.

[*~:Marauder:~*]

(BAHA nighty you would look it up XD)

Marauder's ears pricked up at the sound of his littermate's voice.
"Onyx!" he yowled cheerfully as he bounded towards his brother, "About time you got here! You're slower than a turtle's grandma!"
In one motion, Marauder lept at his brother, grabbed his elbow, and made to pull him into a whirling dance.

(random Q: do cats have elbows?... XP)

[.:Night:.]

((ahaha, you know what? idk XP lol. you should look that up ahaha))

Onyx grinned at his brother's comment as he got his elbow(?) pulled. "Well, I was just scavenging the old ruins for some new treasures!" Onyx loved finding new things. He twirled and leapt to the beat following his brother's movements. Then the gypsy cat reached and pulled a glittery object out of his bandana. It resembled a feather, but it was hard and glittery. "I found this and I will add it to my hoard!!!!" he yowled to the air.

((lol, that was a weird post))

[*~:Marauder:~*]

((I would, but I'm too lazy XP & LOL HOARD XD))

Marauder's eyes glittered mischeviously in the firelight as he beheld Onyx's glittery object with a wide grin. He hoped his twitching paws wouldn't give away the pounding impulse gripping him from ear tip to tail tip.
"Ooooo shiny!" he purred, and without another word plucked the thing out of his brother's paws and made himself scarce among the other Tzigane's writhing bodies.

((KLEPTOMANIA STRIKES AGAIN hur hur hur ))

[.:Night:.]

((bhahaha, lol. BEHELD!!!! XD and i'm sure lots of the tziganes are kleptomaniacs, lol. they tend to enjoy shiny objects ))

Onyx's eyes widened as his most recent prized possesion was snatched out of his paws right before his eyes! "Noooo!!!!!" Onyx yowled and chased his brother playfully around the other Tziganes. The tom cat danced and twiled to the beat while searching for his brother. Finally finding him, Onyx leapt on Marauder's back in one fluid movement and plucked the glittery plastic feather back. Tucking it back in his collar for safe keeping, Onyx regarded his brother's new paint job. "So, those are some discustingly neon colours." he grinned at Marauder's electric blue and shocking pink fur dye.

[*~:Marauder:~*]

((An entire camp of kelptomaniacs? At least they all understand each other XD & baha PAINT JOB your wording is love <3 ))

Wiggling underneath Onyx's paws, Marauder blew his spiky, neon-blue-dyed forehead fur out of his eyes, then grinned back.
"Jelous as usual, brother?" he purred smoothly, looking his brother up and down, "You know, if you had an imagination, maybe then you'd exchange your drab colour for something a little more exotic? Then you could be faaaaabulous like me!"
He winked at his brother, clearly joking. Putting on his best mock-serious face, he then yowled, "Now dismount me, you cow, or you shall be vanquished!"
Rolling to his paws, Marauder attempted to unbalance his brother and stand up in the same move.
