The late morning sun sliced through the dark behind closed eyelids.
"Mrrrppphhh," Marauder groaned, rolling over and putting his paws over his muzzle to block the offending light. He was exhausted by the previous night of late fireside dancing; every muscle in his body ached from overuse, especially his paws. He had a feeling he wasn't the only one. Slowly lifting his head to greet the morning, he blinked sleepily, and wondered how any of the other Tziganes could have gotten up any earlier. Stretching, he got slowly to his paws and looked around for somecat to talk to.

Onyx's tail twitched in his sleep as the darkness remained behind his eyelids. An pierced ear twitched as he heard a rustling close by. Gaining consciousness, Onyx opened opened his eye a slit then blinked widely as the crisp morning light flooded his vision. Blinking away dots, Onyx opened his mouth and scented the air, letting the cooling scents of morning drift past his glands. As a breeze picked up, his brother's scent came swirling through the air toward him. The tom gotup and stretched then made his way toward the smell of Marauder. Pushing past some fronds, Onyx spotted Marauder. Making his way silently over to the backside of his brother, he gave a fierce battle cry and lept into the air, landing on the electric blue and fuscia cat's back.

Marauder heard the screech before he even smelled his brother. Head still full of early-morning slugishness, Marauder slowly turned his head to see Onyx flying through the air towards him. His eyes widened. "GAH! TOO EARLY TOO EARLY TOO EAR - OOF." Marauder sprawled out awkwardly as his brother's weight crashed on top of him. Picking up his muzzle from the dirt, he spat out some grass and groaned. "My Ancestors, how do you have so much energy in the morning?" ((I couldn't say Starclan, so I used Ancestors, is that okay? lol ^^')) ((EDIT: I just realized we missed the Firelight party Oktoberfest thing  )) |

(("TO EARLY TO EAR"?? ahaha lol))
((and ya Ancestors works))
(and I know!!!!! i thought the site might've been more active by now but, we don't really have enough cats. don't worry we'll do a fancyful xmas celebration))
Onyx jumped off his squished brother and laughed. "I don't know, I think my waking up early is quite unhealthy though. I should get it checked out!" Onyx grinned at Marauder who was still coverd in grass. "But the morning air is just so fresh, brother. I do thinks that you would be woken up by it." The tom paced back and forth trying to come up with ideas for them to do that day.
((maybe we should make up a plot for the Tziganes, that would be cool =D))

Marauder got up with a grimace, shaking sleep and stray grass from his furry head.
"The only thing fresh about this morning are my bruises."
He winked playfully at his brother.
"Shall we go find some food?" he mewed.

Aurora was sitting a few fox lengths away from the two, grooming down her fluffy, soft pelt.
When she finished, she looked at Marauder.
"So whats the agenda for today?" she meowed.
(Eeck! Haunted by short posts!)

Marauader flicked an ear at the sound of the she-cat's voice and turned to face her. The sight of a pretty she-cat always gave him a feeling not unlike a caterpillar wrapped around his heart; soft, warm and fuzzy, with a slight squirmy sensation. Nonetheless, he pressed smoothly on:
"I was considering a walk to the market to see how the wares cats are fairing," he mewed, "Though I think we'd better clear up the Firepit from last night's festivities first."
"Plus," he said with a grin, "I want to take a look at that sound box Apollo found last night. What a wonderous contraption!"
He paused in thought for a moment before continuing.
"See if anyone can find Apollo? He always likes to take credit for things he does, and I like to humor him. You two can join us too, if you like."
Twiz hurried to a secluded spot in the grassy, sunlit clearing, his mouth stuffed full with handles of paint cans and pressed leaves. The sunlight was just perfect! He had to capture the trees before sundown, or risk losing this perfect setting. Quickly unloading his supplies, he dipped his tail in some yellow paint and began his beloved work. As he sharpened his senses to capture every detail, he heard the faint mews of his leader, deputy, and a she-cat dancer whose name escaped him. Alder? Anita? It started with an A, he was sure of that, but his introverted nature stopped him from having close relationships with many cats. He shook his head, telling himself not to worry about it, though he was vaguely curious what they were talking about.

(awww, TWIZ!!!! :3 the pic is sooo cute)
Onyx watched his brother's face when he looked at Aurora, and rolled his eyes grinning. "Yes, I think this is a good idea. Perhaps Marauder may rainbowize his fur again, cause it's been so long, a week maybe." Marauder's brother loved to poke fun at his frequent fur dyings. "I think I saw Apollo sleeping in some bushes last night." he added.
As if on cue, a golden and brown furred cat unstretched himself from his sleeping place within the bushes. Standing up and shaking his fur, Apollo glanced in a small puddle of water to check his reflection. As good looking as ever. he purred to himself. Apollo wasn't exactly a modest cat. Deciding to join the rest of the cats, Apollo stepped out of the bushes and trotted over to them, his pretty fur glinted in the sun and his eyes shone. "Morning, everyone. I hope we all slept well after last nights activities." He purred.

(d'awwww Twiz and his big sad eyes X) )
Marauder shot his brother a look of mock outrage.
"Pshhh!" he scoffed, "I wouldn't go three days without re-dying! Roots are not a pretty thing, let me tell you that!"
He cuffed his brother over the ear playfully, not at all embaressed by his kit-like behaviour.
At the sound of Apollo's mew, Marauder looked up with a flick of his tail and a grin.
"Ah, Apollo, I was just about to send for you! I was wondering if you would like to join us on a little trek back to the Firepit. After a small clean-up, I would like you to show me how that thingy you found yesterday works, and what else it can do, if you could?"
Marauder knew that Apollo was not one to get his paws dirty, but he was hoping the promise of attention and adoration would outweigh the negatives. After all, they were Tziganes; they lived by their own free will, not bossy orders. As leader of his band, he was only there for guidance, stability and security. If everycat was told exactally how to live their lives, what would then seperate them from Clan cats?
"Of course," Marauder added as added persuassion, "You can be the one to present the findings to our entire band of Tziganes."
Twiz twitched his whiskers as he noticed another cat join the group. Apollo, he thought. Everycat knew his name whether they wanted to or not. Twiz cocked his head, thinking. I wish I could be that influencial, that everycat knew my talent in the arts. Sighing, he brushed the thought off with a shake of his head. Power like that led to having to deal with a mass amount of cats, and he liked his space. Right now he had to focus on his work. Dipping his tail in paint once more, he began to stroke the leaf surface again. However, the twitch of Marauder's obnoxiously bright tail kept breaking his concentration. Giving himself an excuse to watch the goings on of the group of cats, he shifted position so that they too could be captured in his painting. Who knows, he thought, This could impress our leader, deputy, resident hotshot and a pretty she-cat all at once! I've got to make this one my best! With that, he attacked his art with new vigour.
(Twiz the creeper cat lol X) Oooo and I had an idea of how to bring the Tziganes into our current plot! I'll PM you Nighty ^^)

(haha, lol. yes, he's kind of creepy xD haha, resident hotshot lol)
Apollo's ears perked at the mentioning of his discovery. He had found it completely by accident of course, but being himself, he wasn't going to admit this. The device he found was amazing! It played rhythms and sounds that his ears had never heard of before! "Of course, Maurader. " he purred, "I'd be delighted to show my discovery to our band. I'll even make it play the wonderful melodies again!" Apollo of course had no idea how to get the boombox to start again, as last time he had simply hit it, by he loved praise and attention so he's find a way.

Aurora purred, flicking her tail in amusement. "You two are so preppy." she meowed jokingly. "You know, Apollo, if you keep grooming that fur of yours, it won't be long before you'e mistaken as a she-cat." she meowed, half jokingly as well. She rolled her eyes at the ignorant tom, and trotted to take a look around and clean up ashes.
She walked past Twiz as she cleaned and looked at his picture. "Hey, thats cool." Aurora trotted a bit closer. "Care if I look?" she meowed, warm green eyes looking at the bright colors on the leaf.

(i'm gonna make Apollo melodramatic xD )
Apollo got a confused look on his face as Aurora insulted him. He couldn't figure out if she was joking though. Then a thought dawned on the not-so-modest tom, what if he did start looking like a she-cat! But he couldn't stop grooming because he liked looking glossy! But if started looking like a she-cat all his tom-cattyness would be gone and he would never get a women!!! Apollo simply stood there as this horror played out in his head.
Onyx snorted in amusement at Aurora's joke and the look on Apollo's face, the followed the she-cat to help clean up the bonfire mess.
(i love playing Apollo!)

(LOL Apollo what a guy X3) Marauder stifled a snicker at Apollo's horrified face, then rose to his feet. Clapping Apollo warmly on the shoulder with an outstretched paw, Marauder purred, "At least she thinks you're good looking! Now come prove how much of a tom you really are; let's lift those heavy, burned-out logs into the bushes, shall we?" Twiz gave a little jump as the she-cat spoke. He had been so absorbed in his thoughts and his work that he hadn't heard or seen her approach. "Uh..um....sure!" he stammered, pushing the leaf towards her, "Careful though...the paint is still a bit wet..." He had painted the picture a slight bit abstractly, letting the paint wind and pool around the veins in the leaf like colourful puddles after a rainbow rain, an effect he quite liked. However, he had not lost definition or shading in this process; trees lined the backround, mostly all willows, their green and sliver tendrils spiraling to the ground, small, delicate birds tok flight into a clear blue sky, and slightly off-centre, in a large ray of golden sunlight, sat the four cats, the she-cat included. Twiz's heart beat frantically in his chest. Would she like it? What if she didn't? Would she call the other cats over? Would they all make fun of his art? Would they all love it? He knew his leader would support him, and probably the deputy too, but what of the others? What if he made the she-cat's eyes too dull, or Apollo ugly? He thought it looked fine, but cats were finicky about these things. He wasn't sure if he could take critisim, especially from older, more experienced cats. As his mind and feelings were tossed violently around like a leaf on the wind, Twiz waited for the she-cat's verdict, shaking ever so slightly. (tehe, Twiz the nervous novice artist  ) |

Aurora gazed it for a few moments, eyes sparkling in the sunlight. "I'm no artist," said the dancer. "but it looks really cool." she meowed, looking up at a Twiz. "You should show Marauder, he'd love it!" She meowed, glancing at the picture again before back up at Twiz.

Apollo followed Marauder over to the firepit. When he walked past Aurora and some strange looking kitten, he noticed them looking at a colourful leaf. Paded over to them he looked over the she-cat's shoulder to see what was so interesting. What the tom saw astounded him! It was quite beautiful and abstract at the same time. Realizing the kit had painted it, Apollo decided to be complimentary. He looked down at the white kitten, "Well, I don't know your name, but that quite a nice painting there. Good job." Apollo smiled at the kitten. He really could be a sweet cat sometimes.
