Duckthroat watched Maggotpaw with a knowing look he didnt like the fact that there was a possom in camp but he wouldnt let on to it. “You know, that’s not a mouse it’s an possum,” he said, his voice steady trying not to waiver from his own fear of the possom. “They might look strange, but they’re generally harmless. Still, it’s wise to keep our distance.”

He shifted his gaze to the other cats, noting their nervousness he knew he had to be the calm one he was by far the oldest. “Your idea to stand tall and growl isn’t a bad one. It might help remind everyone that we’re a united front, even against something as odd as that opossum.”

Turning to Fidgetberry and Leopardpaw, he added, “Stick close to me. We’ll head to the elders’ den, but let’s take our time and stay alert. If that creature gets too curious, we’ll make sure it knows it’s not welcome.”
With a measured nod, Duckthroat straightened his posture, maintaining a composed demeanor.

Okay, so never leave Lightingstorm alone in charge of the camp ever again. The slender WindClan leader arrived at the threshold of the camp, ready to comment about the trench being built just outside the camp and the scent of smoke in the air, but found herself completely lost. What the hell was in her camp?!!!

Twilightstar probably knew the name, but she was pretty certain she'd never seen whatever it was Snowybreeze, Dustbunny, Dreamlight, and Owlpaw were fighting. She thought it was a rat at first from the back, but she could barely see it beneath Snowybreeze's squishing it and Owlpaw attempting to do the same.

Leopardsong, Lightningstorm, and some of the other queens were on top of herd kits to the nursery, and Leopardpaw and Maggotpaw looked to be on elder duty. She didn't see any cat from the patrols around so she assumed she made it back before them. Twilightstar's reaction was more on the lackluster side purely because the she-cat was exhausted, unknowingly escaped near death, and was so used to this insanity that not much phased her these days.

"Hey, I think it's dead," Twilightstar uttered calmly as she walked a wide circle around the three warriors, ordering them to step down wordlessly. There was a disgusting reek coming from the animal.

"Owlpaw, come here." She called to the apprentice, uncertain if Leechscar had taught her how to fight. The she-cat would usher the apprentice to get behind her as soon as heeded her order. Twilightstar's eye danced towards the nursery before returning to the threat before her. The kits were probably fine with Leopardsong. Still, she kept herself between the rest of the camp and the critter, leaving the exit wide open.

Dreamlight and Dustbunny who had been trying to gnaw off the creature's front legs, hadn't bothered to stop even after Snowybreeze tackled the thing. Twilightstar's words had the two she-cats relaxing their bite. Dreamlight tried not to gag at the putrid smell coming off the animal. Dustbunny took a few paw steps back with bristle fur remaining on guard, her eyes darted nervously between Snowybreeze and the opossum.

[As Opossums aren't all that aggressive, and I don't see one stick around to fight a bunch of ticked-off kitties let alone Snowyfreakingbreeze, I'm banking on it playing dead and running]
