ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

➳ Sunpoppy 🥀

After the blowout with Sunchaser and what felt like an eon of being crushed by overwhelmingly complex emotions on the matter, Sunpoppy approached ThunderClan camp with daggers shot at anyone who dared stare at him. He imagined his appearance was messier than usual -- red-eyed, fur mussed, on his very last inch of patience for the world. Specks of snow still coated his back from where he'd expertly tucked himself away in the territory, hiding from every soul that made the foolish attempt to come for him. Chaser's betrayal still stung to the core, and he couldn't face another confrontation with anyone involved: Hareflood, Kestrelflame, Chaser himself. All of them were being distinctly ignored, not that the remainder of his clanmates were on any welcomer terms.

The ears pinned to his head and slouched posture weren't an invitation, but that was washed away upon noticing a freaking dead body in the clearing. Just some literally dead-ass ThunderClanner in a pool of blood -- what the hell was that about. What, he couldn't walk away until moonhigh without things going off the rails around here? He hated this Clan sometimes.

Although he tried to listen in on ongoing conversations to acquire even the gist of what'd gone down, it was a challenge to focus with so many chattering uselessly at once. And y'know, the dead guy in the middle of his vision. That didn't help.

➳ Tinykit 🌱

Tinykit sat in the corner, his eyes seeking out two pets - a silvery one with black stripes(hopefully that was what she looked like) and a black tabby pelt just like his own. One of his favorite things about Littlekit's looks were the fact that his eyes were green - unlike Tiny's, which were a pale blue. He knew they probably wouldn't come back, but he was allowed to hope, was he not? And poor Littlekit must be dying out in the terrible terrible cold! But maybe he was having fun with snow?! Hopefully he was out with Chiccymama doin' stuff. Hopefully hopefully hooooopefully. And - was that them? Tinykit could see a skinny head emerging from the entrance, although it wasn't the two he was looking for. How could he have even thought that? This guy.. Funnoppy was he? Well, he was pale yellow.

And now he was mad! Mad cause he assumed false things! So it was time to YELL AT FUNNOPPY. AND MAKE SOME NOISE, DUDE. "HEY!" Tinykit yelled in the direction of Sunpoppy. "TINYKIT NO LIKE FUNNOPPY. SO FUNNOPPY BAD KID." He then puffed out his chest and tossed his head back, a chilled look in his eyes which lasted for all of two seconds. "Like out," Tinykit meowed coolly. After that, he jumped up and giggled to himself with occasional whispers of "yay tinykit did" and "oh tinykit cool".

Maybe he shouldn't have done that? The thought whisked through his mind but he quickly dismissed it, flexing his whiskers. But Funnoppy looked sad! WHY? Maybe he should cheer Funnoppy up? Yeah that was a good idea! "Tinykit sorry," he spoke softly. "He no mean." Tinykit perked up, a smile appearing on his face. "You want look Chiccymama & Lit with Tiny?"

➳ Sunpoppy 🥀

All hopes of discerning what could have happened to the warrior were abandoned when his line of concentration became just as mangled as the corpse, an irritating voice shattering any semblence of internal peace that he might've built up over the past few hours alone. Sunpoppy whipped his head up to fix a burning glare upon the kit, wishing the forest would open up and shred it limb from limb for being such a stupid, pathetic, waste of space that had no business talking to a warrior. Much less taunting him, as if he didn't get enough of that from his own ranks. Now a KIT was doing it, probably after watching someone else make fun of him and the twerp mustered the guts to think he could do it too. Why not, after all? The rest of the Clan spit on him. They thought nothing of him. He was just disgusting grime on their paws in the eyes of the Clan. It made Sunpoppy fume to know that even the kits--the dumbest rank of all--were able to pick up on everyone's opinion of him and share it.

He just couldn't catch a break with these assholes. He'd wanted to see what shredded his damn clanmate but noo, no of course not--the universe couldn't even allow him a momentary reprieve from being mocked relentlessly by cats who were supposed to be his allies.

"Get out of my face, stupid brat!" Sunpoppy snarled despite the change in Tinykit's demeanor since he knew it was merely a farce to get his guard down (already aware the kit planned to continue berating him, and he wasn't going to take it), swiping his paw threateningly close. It was tempting to whack the thing into next moon. The fur along his back was on end, fury boiling beneath. "Go jump off a cliff and die." Sunpoppy didn't hesitate to whirl around and stalk just beyond the borders of the camp to feign guard duty, if only to get away from Tinykit before he resorted to force.

He refused to be the punching bag for this clan's abuse, and he definitely wasn't going to deal with it from a kit.

Bluekit padded to the older kit. “There’s nothing there, ok? Your safe. The clan will protect you. Now, we’ll just let Frostypaw get you something to sleep ok?” Bluekit mewed. He was great at calming people down. Or so his mother said. Bluekit turned to looks at the medicine cat apprentice. “Can you give him that thing your were talking about to help her sleep?” Bluekit squeaked. @Zesty Mango

(lol)
Bluekit didn’t get frustrated or anything. His mom said that was what was good of him, that he was always patient. “The sleepy things will help you feel safe. And if that isn’t enough, I’ll be beside you the whole time you sleep ok? So, if there’s any monster trying to get you, I can call for help. I’m sure Frosty saw the monster but she’s staying brave so she can show you that there is nothing to be scared of, right Frostypaw?” Bluekit mewed turning to look at Frostypaw. He hoped she realized that he had to lie to keep Tallkit calm.

--Spiderlily--

Seeing a kit yell at a random warrior, Spiderlily let out a long sigh. Did they really think that they where allowed to be mean just because they know Buckstar won't exile a weak little rank like themselves?
To be honest, did they even consider the possible grudges other cats could hold against them for that. "Hey... kits can be really stupid, you know?"

➳ Sunpoppy 🥀

Although the cold was biting beyond the sanctuary of the camp, Sunpoppy's paws were planted on the ground, his posture slouched. He was still curious about the dead guy in camp--seriously, was nobody going to tell him about that?--and wanted to steal another look but didn't, unwilling to possibly let that kit enter his sight again.

He raised his head when someone was suddenly talking to him, and.. oddly enough, not calling him vulgar names or slinging insults his way. Actual sympathy was hard to come by in this Clan, so he was stunned into silence for a few long moments while tripping over a reply. "Yeah?" he said over a voice crack, surprise betrayed by the raised end of his agreement that he quickly fixed with a less tentative, "Yeah. They are." He was glad Spiderlily didn't elaborate much on that, embarrassed by how a kit had been the one to deliver the mocking. It was so messed up.

That was approximately when he registered, truly registered, that he was talking to Spiderlily. A cat he kind of tended to avoid because... well, it was hard to explain. Just, the whole... gender.. thing. Sunpoppy didn't know what to think of that. But right now, he was in a situation where anyone's sympathy--weird gender issues or not--would be tolerated.

"I don't know what's this Clan's problem," he lamented, bitter. "Always on my back about something, and I didn't even do anything." He didn't even know half his tormentors personally; there was nothing fair about it.
