《A Starry Greenhouse》 [Open]

[Apollo.]

A large twoleg building made of glass stood inside a forest clearing. The unnatural lighting made it stand out from the winter night sky. Inside the build various different plants and herbs could be seen growing, through the vines that covered the outside. Most of the plants inside didn't look like plants that grew in this area naturally. Inside was warm and humid even though it was snowing outside.

Perched upon a small fern tree, that had grown in the middle of the greenhouse, was a young yellow and white spotted cat. And this is where our story began...

《Comet》
Comet yawned, boredly. He had already watered all of the plants and refilled the water heater, he finished his chores but he still couldn't sleep.

He lifted his white and yellow head and peered outside of the greenhouse, he could see that snow was falling heavily but anything past three fox lengths away was blocked out from the lights of the green house.

"How do the wild cats stand it? If I would even take a step outside I would freeze!" Comet shivered even thinking about how cold it is ouside.

He shuffled his dark green kittypet collar so that the bell wouldn't jingle when he moved. Even though he didn't live with or near twolegs he had still been born there and gave him a collar which he was unable to remove, but he didn't mind it.

He leapt off the fern tree and his paws almost slipped on the wet twoleg stone. It took Comet a few heartbeats to steady himself before padding over to the telescope that sat at the far end of the greenhouse. He reflected on when the twolegs would lift him up so he could look through it and see the stars unclose. He sighed, even though he was quiet tall for 12 moons Comet was not tall enough to reach the viewing point of the telescope.

A faint noise from outside caught his attention and the yellow and white tom trotted over to the door of the greenhouse, Comet place his paws on it and put his whole body weight into it. When it opened a cold wind from the snowstorm swept towards him and Comet shuttered as he padded out into the snow.

"Hello?" he called out into the storm as loud as he could "If there's a cat out here who needs help, feel free to come inside!" after he finished talking he quickly padded back into the safety of the greenhouse and shut the door behind himself.

He shivered, it was far far colder outside than he thought. "if there was a cat out there I hope they're okay.." he mumbled to himself as he lifted a mouse from his small fresh kill pile and leapt back up onto the fern tree.

Pearlcharm was wandering the outskirts, as she had previously decided that it would be good for her to get away from camp for a bit. Either way, Twilightstar, she had realized, was a bit of a square, so strict all the time, give me a break Thought the molly, treading against a heavy gust of snow and wind.

As she progressed through the forest, she thought about it and noticed that this wasn’t even relaxing, or any form of a gateway from Windclan. It was stressful, she was forcing herself through a snowstorm going in the opposite direction she was after all. The molly began to consider just going back to camp, and that this wasn’t the best idea, but just then a flash of artificial light caught her eye. What’s that thing…I’ve seen buildings but not one like that, it’s… clear?

She lurked in the bushes, making quick rustling noises. Alas, a yellow and white spotted cat came out. Kittypet, observed Pearlcharm, had noted the collar. She was open minded, and would surely meet this cat, perhaps befriend. But first, she wanted to investigate. After all, to see a cat in such an odd building, perhaps the cat occupying it is odd too? As the cat burst out of the door to the strange building, Pearlcharm got into position. The door is open, the cat is distracted…Crash!

She leapt into the Greenhouse, but had unexpectedly Leander on slippery twoleg stones. She slipped, slid, and crashed into a planter. Luckily, it had not fallen or taken any damage, the one who handled that was Pearlcharm. She rubbed her forehead. No blood. She decided it was fine, and reverted her attention to the other cat. Great starclan, they probably heard that crash!

@LeoDaLeaf @Cloud-

Aspenpaw was happy to be back in the shelter of trees, maybe just maybe that meant he was almost home? Home thunderclan oh how he missed home but would they let him back in? Would aspenstar let him back in? His explanation for being gone wasn’t… ideal but he needed to try. His sister needed him and he needed her. He was so lost in thought that when he heard a loud crash if made him jump. He leaped into the bushes crouched down and slowly creating forward to see what was going on. He was scared no terrified but deep down he was hoping there was somebody that would give him a warm place to sleep for the night before he kept walking home.

[pxxylo]

Her jaw hung open slightly as she crouched down behind a tall pot. Had they heard? As her mouth laid open ever so slightly, she caught wind of another cat. But wait, if that one is a Kittypet, and smells like one, then…Why in Starclan was she smelling Thunderclan? The scent gave off the aura of a younger cat. Apprentice, maybe? Young warrior? Wondered Pearlcharm, yet she wouldn’t have to wonder for much longer, for she would soon be approached by this cat judging by the fact they must’ve heard the crash she caused.

At the thought, she once again placed a paw on her head. Maybe it was an issue? The molly prayed it wouldn’t be, because Windclan currently lacked a medicine cat, so even if she wasn’t fine, she would just have to be. Pearlcharm shook her head. It’s stupid, why didn’t Iceripple find an apprentice? If she did, maybe we would have one now! Thought the Windclan warrior spitefully, tail up and ears alert.

She puffed out her chest, and was about to step out from behind the pot and call out, Who’s there? but ended up not doing so. Pearlcharm, still crouched down, was busy having an inner battle. Call out, or stay? Call out, or stay? She did so repeatedly, the action of almost stepping out from behind the pot, and then shrinking back and shaking her head. An elder once told her, There once lived a very indecisive warrior. When given the choice to eat a shrew or a rabbit, he could not choose. His indecisiveness caused him to stand in between the two rotting corpses of fresh-kill, and leave him trying to decide. Over the moons, he starved.

She decided to just do it already. Puffing out her chest, she leapt out from behind the pot, nearly slipping again but gaining balance. “Who’s there?”

《Comet》

Crash!

Comet spun around at the loud noise and spotted the molly who had crashed into one of the planters. His blue eyes gazed wordlessly at her. "wha- are you okay?" he questioned the molly gently.

Comet padded over the slippery stone carefully towards her. He studied her, noting that he couldn't see any blood but this molly might have hit her head.

After a few heartbeats and quickly trotted across the greenhouse and picked some thyme, poppy seeds and feverfew before walking back to the molly and placing them in front of her.

"Here, the thyme will help with shock, poppy seeds with pain and feverfew for any headache" he said while placing his paw on each herb. He sat down a rabbit length away from the newcomer watching her carefully to make sure she ate the herbs.

His attention moved back to outside, for a moment he thought he saw a cat but the snow picked up and Comet's view of them was obstructed.

@feather lily @Cloud-

Aspenpaw froze unsure of what to do. He could come out and probably get help or he would run and never come back here. He wanted to run so bad but he needed a place to stay and this other cat the one who had fallen seemed to know how to track sents so maybe just maybe they were a clan cat? Aspenpaw knew this was a long shot but if they were maybe they could help him get home. So aspenpaw stepped out and closer to the two cats. He didn’t realize how big he had gotten but when he saw is size compared to the other two he realized he had grown a lot. Then again he would be a older apprentice if he was still in camp. I-im a-aspenpaw was all he could get out but he was… proud of himself. The old aspenpaw would have run away but he didn’t. He was changing

@feather lily @Cloud-

Being her usual self, she was suspicious of both cats. Aspenpaw of Thunderclan, and Kittypet. These herbs…poisoned? Maybe. The molly sniffed them, her hackles raised. “Who says these aren’t poisoned?” she mewed quietly, lifting the thyme from the slippery stone it rested on.

Aspenpaw…the name was farmiliar, and it was just on the tip of Pearlcharm’s tongue. Right! She had heard murmurs of a missing apprentice, Aspenpaw! Although she had no idea why the apprentice went missing in the first place, she doubted that Aspenstar would let her back in. Despite not being in the clan, she knew at least that only if you had good reason should you be let in. She learned this from the talk of other cats, just like she learned her basic knowledge of social intelligence.

“Aspenpaw, hm? Word in the forest is you’re missing, your mentor must be worried sick. What happened?” Asked Pearlcharm in a soft voice, her tail gently waving as she continued to inspect to herbs set in front of her, placing the Thyme back on the ground.

《Comet》

"Fine. If you want to suffer a concussion be my guest." he snapped annoyed that the molly even thought that he would try to poision her.

He turned his attention to Aspenpaw. Aspen-.. paw?- what an odd name... Comet thought as he studied the young cat. Aspenpaw looked around Comet's Age perhaps they were a moon or two older or younger. "You were missing?" he asked as he padded towards them. "Are you injured? Cold?" his blue eyes flicked towards the molly.

"Speaking of names who might you be?" he turned towards her. More importantly why are they both here?- they seem to somewhat know each other.. that molly said that she had heard something about Aspenpaw in a forest..

She shook her head, Pearlcharm was always prone to words and sighed, feeling bad at Comet’s words. “Fine, I’ll eat them.” She ate them as if she hadn’t eaten in moons, thereafter mewing confidently, “I’m Pearlcharm.”

She gazed out at her surroundings, the reason she had leapt inside the glass building in the first place. “What is this place? So many herbs, it’s honestly impressive. her eyes followed a small flying bug that buzzed past her nose. It amazed her that such small things could convey the power to flap their little wings so many times per second that they can fly quickly and efficiently.

“It’s definitely a welcoming sort of place, seeing how much warmer it is in here.” Sniffing the air, her nose was flooded with the damp, cool scent of many plants and herbs. She was so fascinated by the place, and she didn’t even know what it was yet.
