Event [#event]
It'd been a few days since the Quarantine had been issued in full, and Wolfhive was... well, exhausted! It wasn't like he was getting any better paired with a general lull in activity around the makesickft camp. He was basically a puddle of icky vibes and sadness.
But enough about him, that wasn't important. What was: a creature's appearance in camp. A mischief of rats had gotten chilly and huddled together for warmth, only to find themselves stuck together at their tails by sap. The ensuing panic had caused their tails to knot together, forming a Rat King.
The phenomenon was incredibly rare, and as the noise of squeaks roused Wolfhive from his uneasy rest it took him a moment to understand what he was even seeing. The rat hydra had found the prey pile, and was tearing at various pieces - even going as far to snap at each other in their frenzy for food.
It took a moment, his gaze sweeping over the knotted bundle of five rats before he shakily pushed himself to his paws. Wolfhive could hardly walk - let alone handle an enemy... "Anyone... able bodied! We got.. rats... in the prey...!" Then he'd collapse, his energy spent on yelling.
--- The only NOT SICK cats in the area should be Spiderthroat and Weepingwillow! Everyone else who responds to this should be sick. ---
A Rat King is raiding the fresh-kill pile. For those unfamiliar with it, it's a group of rats that are stuck together by their tails due to getting tangled. This Rat King has five rats in it, meaning all 5 need to be killed. They behave like normal rats but have limited movement ability.
Everyone is free to react and try to handle the rats, if you do opt to kill one please only do one at a time so others get a chance to post!
