Worm Your Way to Success [ RC Tunnel Hunting Competition ]

[Estelle]

It seemed Gingerfrost's prejudgement was starting to prove itself right. Hunting in the tunnels... He still didn't quite like it for now. The ginger furred tom went threw the different passages and ways, until he eventually.. Yes, scented a mouse. He crouched and crept forward, quickly spotting the little creature - well then, it was time to actually try catching something in the enclosed space. At least the mouse could only go two directions: either towards him- unlikely- or away from him in the event it spotted him. But surprisingly, the rodent didn't notice him until the last moment, which was already to late. Gingerfrost without much trouble caught the mouse. Perhaps.. It wasn't as terrible as he thought it'd be? Oh well. With the mouse caught, although small, the young warrior started padding back to the old camp where he dropped it off and the first addition to his pile-to-be, before he went back inside towards a sound he'd heard.

Although Primrosepaw often despised hearing many voices around her- especially when those said voices are raised- this time the little molly actually kind of enjoyed hearing the small babbling around her. It was all soft and not that many were speaking... And it gave off good vibes! Unlike when commanding voice two was yelling all his words about sugar and whowasitagain. Primrosepaw just simply waddled around a little, stopping a moment to decide where to go when paw steps approached. Her ears twitched and she listened to the sudden voice - It was... It was... Eel..? Yes- Eel! It was Eel! not the fish - the voice. Primrose plopped down, processing the Eel's words. It was.. A little complicated, but she eventually understood that they wanted to stay with her? Or that she had to stay with them? It came down to the same thing. So.. She would stay, with them, during whatever was happening.

Then.. Commanding voice two yelled something and she was called by Eel. They had to go somewhere? The apprentice got up and tilted theiur head, a bit confused, but strangely enough kind of amused too. She felt something over her shoulders which did help in terms of going the right direction. She just... Had to make sure that whatever that was remained in the exact same place. Yes. Something faintly changed in the air and at the little pat pat- and knowing what 'sit' meant- Primrosepaw did exactly that. She sat down and faintly frowned at what the other was telling her. She had no clue what they meant by 'hunt' and 'watch' but she had to.. Make sure of something? She understood that in the wide view of things, but if anything she'd figure it out eventually. The tiny she simply didn't budge and waited for something to happen while Eel was doing what they were doing.

And something did happen. Strange squeaky noises approach, sounding as if they were at her paws; and perhaps they were, as sharp discomfort was felt exactly there by the small bite of one of the creatures. Primrose let a tiny yelp as she lifted the said paw and shook it right when Eel's voice rang. Dance? Dance... She knew that. That was like in her dreams! But that was fun and this wasn't but maybe dancing would make it fun? She'd try. Primrosepaw did as instructed and a pouty face started to lift her paws and jump and skip around just like when she was dancing. That didn't stop another few bites from being felt though and she didn't like that feeling at all - no, no, no... But at least the squeaky noises got less eventually until she accidentally jump right on one of the rats, slipping over it but also effectively squishing it in the process. Primrosepaw scrambled up- not quite noticing the two rat bodies- and gave a lick to her front paw where the first rat bit. Dumdum squeaky noises. She wasn't quite sure how to answer Eelpaw's question when asked, so remained silent and just like that it seemed they were off again.

[Fairytale]

Brighttalon had a scent of what he thought was a mouse. He crept through the tunnel, turning in places he thought were correct. He rounded one corner, passed a few passages, turned again, until he realized he was going in a large circle. He tried going down a different way with more prey-scent, but found nothing. At that point, he couldn't even smell the mouse anymore and had no idea where he was. His ears flattened against his head in annoyance and frustration. This was going to be harder than he thought.

[Exis]

Foxblaze scented again and found a small rat. Oh she hated rats more than she likes moles. She quickly turned and crept up on it before pouncing on it. “I got one!” She mewed excitedly before putting it in her own pile at the cat end of everyone. She then hid it with stuff she found. She didn’t like the idea of cheating.

[rosetherosey]

~ Featherbreeze ~

Featherbreeze smiled as she dragged her water vole to her hiding spot. This was one of her favorite foods, and she was lucky to catch it in this competition. Especially with all the different cats getting so much prey.

~ Littlemist ~

Littlemist's nose wrinkled in disgust. A rat! How disgusting. But prey was prey, so he couldn't complain. He padded back quickly to the hole where he had placed his prey wanting to get the rat out of his mouth as quickly as possible.

Beansprout

Aha, so it was a mouse! He pounced! ...And hit his head on the roof of the tunnel with a dull thud. The mouse scurried away down the tunnel, and, groaning, he tried to follow it. That was, until the creature disappeared into a small hole. "Rats!" He cried, attempting vainly to stick a paw into the hole and snag the creature. With a heavy sigh, he removed his paw and trod back up the tunnel. Hopefully he’d have more luck now.

[Fae]

Yes I finally found something good! ~rainpuddle went back up and put it in his pile neatly. and jumped into a different tunnel it was way warmer than on the surface~

[Fade]

*Springpaw ducked back out the tunnel she was going into and went into a different tunnel to hopefully find something*


*Frostail went back into the tunnels*

[gs29513]

Nipping the neck of the mouse to kill it, Twigpaw continued his hunt. After placing the prey to the side, hopefully where it wouldn't be stolen, he continued to scent the air. Hopefully he could find something else at least.
---------------
Splashleap could scent something almost like garbage, and as she moved towards it, she discovered it was a rat. She didn't feel bad about killing it at all, and quickly dispatched the creature, although it did manage to nip at her tail and draw a bit of blood. She hid it where it had been killed before beginning her search for more prey.

[Fuzzy]

As Petuniapaw continued down the path the scent of squirrel touched her nostrils. She hadn't expected to find a tree rodent down here! Placing her vole down the apprentice moved into another hunting crouch and moved ever so slowly forward. Squirrels were larger prey than voles so it would be a bit more difficult. Petuniapaw froze as the squirrel stopped its digging, however it had yet to detect her. With a swift jump she pinned the rodent and bit down on its next. With a small smile of how she was doing Petuniapaw picked up her squirrel and went to collect her vole. Guess she'd have two pieces of prey woul rest on her back now.
With a quick glance the molly continued down her path.
