Roleplay - 12th of June

The kits trotted off towards the burrow. Loki looked at the coming storm. He was curious about the tornado and wondered if he'd see anything. Maybe he could sit toward the front of the burrow and watch.

Limmerick asked, "Skittles, how are you feeling?"

Skittles looked at her wounds, they were all dryed up and were already healing. "I'm fine." she squeaked. "I'm watching to Loki! I know you want to see the tornado!" she hopped in and sat by the burrow, hoping she could actually see one.

Loki and Limmerick both joined her, peering out expectantly. "That wind's really blowing hard," Loki said. The kits crowded in closer to Skittles. The wind was getting cold.

"Yeah, thats what creates a tornado!" Skittles squeaked happily, they might actually see one!

(Sorry for double posting but I forgot to RP)

Skittles looked at the stream wanting to catch another fish. After this last one she'd be full. She went in slowly and waited for the silvery thing. She seen one swimming her way. She waited. She dunked her head uner water as fast as she could and grabed the fish. She threw it to the bank and put her paw on it as it flopped around. It stoped flopping and died. Skittles started eating her meal.

Megan went to search for different food. She thought to herself, 'isn't that strange, a ferret fishing, yet it has a cousin called the fisher that rarely eats fish.'

Skittles swallowed her last bite and licked her lips. She spotted Megan and padded toward her. "Hi Megan." she squeaked.

Megan smiled, "Hi Skittles."

"I'm starting to get tired of fish, I'm full now though. Maybe later on we can go hunting? I'll probably be very hungry." she squeaked.

Loki and Limmerick both had followed Skittles. "I'm full, too." Loki said, "I like fish." Limmerick teased, "you being full- that's a first. Megan, can I help catch a mouse or something? I don't like fish and I'm hungry."

Skittles looked at Limmerick. "Me and Loki are full. And maybe if Megan lets you, you could hunt with her." she squeaked.

Megan smiled at the little ones, "Let's go hunting, Limmerick. Loki, Skittles, do you also want to come? It would be good practice for Loki. And we need the extra meat for Starlight and Sparkle."

"I'm to full Megan, But sure I'll come." Skittles squeaked. "Come on Loki, Lets go hunt." she squeaked.

Megan led the way to a hunting area. "Loki, Limmerick, see the mouse over by the log?" The kits nodded. "Be quiet and follow me." She carefully crept up on the mouse. The kits were very quiet as they followed. The mouse paused, his whiskers twitching as he scented the air. Then, the mouse took off running. The kits immediately started chasing. Loki was slower becuase his leg was still stiff. Megan joined in the chase, cutting the mouse off as it veered to try to loose Limmerick. She grabbed the mouse by the neck and vigoursly shook it, breaking its neck.

The kits caught up. Megan demonstrated how she killed the mouse again. The two kits enthusiastically practiced pouncing and shaking the mouse. They were a bit clumsy but very energetic.

She looked at the kits and Skittles, "Why do you think the mouse ran?"

"Because it scented you and knew something was wrong." Skittles answered quickly.

"Right. Notice which way the wind is blowing. We were upwind from the mouse. So, the mouse smelled us. Even though you two were very quiet, it still knew it was in danger."

Loki and Limmerick looked thoughtful, "So we try to come from the other side of the wind..." Limmerick stated. "or be ready for a run" Loki agreed.

Megan smiled and nodded, "Exactly right. We try to approach from downwind of the mouse. We smell the mouse. It doesn't smell us. Your noses are important part of living out here. I want you to start practicing identifying smells. Sniff things, so you know what it smells like. And remember, even the best hunter "misses" sometimes and doesn't get the prey. Ok, let's see if we can get another mouse."

Megan led the way then froze. "Right there. Ok, kits. We're downwind. I want you two to go after the mouse. Skittles and I will help if you can't get it killed yet or if it runs."

The kits crept quietly toward the mouse. As they got closer, the mouse noticed something was wrong and started running. Limmerick raced ahead of Loki and managed to jump on the mouse but it got loose....

Megan smiled, "remember, just because it can't smell you too easily doesn't mean that it can't hear or see you."

(welcome home Kusuma. Remind me the day before you go on vacation. I'll be glad to cover again)

The kits were a bit disappointed they missed the second mouse.
"This is fun! I like learning to hunt." Limmerick commented.
"Can we try for another mouse? That second one got away." Loki asked.

Skittles looked at them. "I could catch one mouse on my first try, But I'm to full to hunt right now, I stuffed with fish." she squeaked.

(I'll be going out of town tomorrow afternoon until Sunday. Kusuma, you can play the kits)

(Okay)

Megan smiled, "We can continue tomorrow, for now we all need rest, it's been a long day already,"

Skittles nodded. "Agreed." she squeaked. Sitting there watching for a few hours Skittles wasn't full anymore but wasn't hungry. She yawned and started heading towards the burrow.

(I'm back).

The kits followed along. Limmerick was carrying one of the mice they caught and the two planned to share it with Starlight, since Megan had the mouse for Sparkle. The kits took turns carrying the mouse.

Once at the burrow, they went up to Starlight. The kits put the mouse down... "Megan and us caught a mouse for you." Both Limmerick and Loki gently nudged Starlight hello, then curled up near the babies to nap.

(Welcome back! )

Starlight smiled sweetly and squeaked softly, "Thank you, that was very kind of you." She ate some of the mouse then yawned. It was getting late and she was tired. (I need to change the time of the info board XP)

Megan layed down near the burrow entrance and stretched.

(Welcome back ferretrunner! )

Skittles layed down and curled up. She yawned and fell asleep.

JD curled up near Starlight and the kits and fell asleep.

Megan came in and laid down. She was soon asleep.

Starlight yawed and fell asleep quickly.

Loki woke up and yawned. He nudged Limmerick. "You awake?" he whispered. Limmerick yawned and nodded. "Let's go outside. I hafta go." "Me too." The two kits quietly crept toward the entrance to the burrow, trying not to wake the others.

Megan opened her eyes, "Where are you two going at this time of night?"
