So Snakehearts been under a ton of pressure for basically his entire life since he was made medicine cat apprentice at 6 moons old and watched one patient die and had to mercy kill the other on his first day. From there things have kinda only gotten worse. From being shoved into a full rank he never wanted very young and having to struggle to learn how to heal, to being the only thing stopping clanmates from dying (and sometimes failing), to loosing the only thing that kept him sane, his family.

You heard right despite coming from a rather large family with loads of siblings and an amazing mom now every single one of Snakehearts family has disappeared without a trace or died despite his absolute best efforts to care for/protect them. Legit not one cat left. So with the reveal of his final blood family member, Fidgetpaw, and one more push of stress from Kes being gone during a crisis that’ll trigger soon he can no longer suppress everything and the moment he gets a second to breath and its time for a full blown mental breakdown!

And because Snakeheart is my emotional punching bag he never gets a break and this is gonna happen in public!

 

So Snakehearts been covertly looking for his mom and siblings in his free time and now with Fidgetpaw gone he has just spent the entire day frantically looking all over to try and find his kin so was already highly on edge. Then the ‘events’ hit he is forced to go into damage control mode while strained and soon enough and bam its too much and he’s biting back a breakdown with too many cats around him he’s losing it. Hes gonna have a full blown panic attack, mental breakdown and will wrap it all up with dissociating hard and needing to be cared for for a bit until he can pull himself together again. This will lead to a long term character arc of Snakeheart confronting and not suppressing his emotions and learning how to deal with them in a healthy way, he’s got a lotta issues so this will take a long time and come very steadily with the setbacks and relapses typical in recovery but this is the start.

 

For this plot I will need several types of cats to be there to witness/interact with Snake and eachother and react to and know about this incident.

Type 1 is the type of cat that is absolutely no help and in fact makes things worse. Whether this cat actively dislikes Snakeheart and is doing this on purpose or is simply misguided and unknowingly does the wrong thing is totally up to you but this cat may; Make too much noise, try and touch snake when he doesn’t trust them, yell at him, cause a panic/panic themselves, say something mean, not care, hinder those that are helping, or just do anything that does not help and so they have to be shoo’d away so the helpful cats can do their work. They also have full permission to spread rumors about snake because of this incident afterwards.

Type 2 is the cat that is in the middle of the helping spectrum. They don’t have the emotional connection to snakeheart or maybe don’t care/know enough to help him directly or perhaps they just act as a spectator at first. Type 2 cats will end up helping slightly either by shooing away the Type 1 cats, fetching things for the Type 3’s, or volunteering to go out and search for Snake’s missing family/take over doing damage control on the territory. They will not find a single hint of any of them however, not one single clue.

Type 3 cats are the real backbreakers here and do the bulk of the hard work. These cats either have a prior relationship/emotional connection to Snake and so can get through to him or they are very very skilled in helping the breakdowns snake is experiencing. They’ll be walking Snake carefully through the breakdown (it doesn’t need to happen perfectly just successfully in the end) and take care of him for after when he’s pretty much down and out. If they do well at this they may also be tagged to be involved in Snakes later emotional development interactions/plots! Also Snake may actually properly befriend them if he hasn’t already.

The plot will occur in a private thread with no posting order and after a bit of build up and general chaos caused by the Type 1’s they will be shoo’d out and exit the thread/plot. The Type 2’s and Type 3’s will get to work until the Type 2’s having done all they could here exit to the territory threads to deal with this round of rc chaos. They wont rejoin the plot thread and any further interactions will be taken care of in main rc threads. From there the Type 3’s will stay with Snake until that’s all wrapped up and the plot concludes!

Roles:
Type 1- Trouble makers or cats who do not like Snake who will make the situation worse
Type 2- Not the most helpful or involved but do pitch in slightly to help
Type 3- Cats with a connection to Snakeheart or skill who can calm him down in his breakdown and will hopefully keep up a interaction in the future
