WHITERABBIT . 20 MOONS . SHE/HER . WINDCLAN

Whiterabbit's cast in the gentle grey light of pre-dawn by the time she decides that she's not going to get any more sleep no matter how hard she tries and resolves to do something very ungentle about it. Lately, she's found herself waking up to a rush of anticipation, giddiness, a kit-like excitement for the day that she'd sorely missed these past few moons. Even at inopportune times like this, when normally only dawn patrol would be slogging out of their nests, the energy is inescapable and something that demands attention.

So she's up. She's up and she's bored and what now, what now? What next? That familiar gnawing feeling at the back of her mind. That familiar itch. Somethingsomethingsomething needs to happen—it needs to or she'll explode. She'll die. She'll turn inside out and keel over. She'll wither out of existence. Turn into dust. Fold into the tiniest shape possible and blow away into the wind. Melt away into a puddle.

But what. What. She has to run, of course. That's what makes sense right now. Whiterabbit has to run, only, she's been running every spare moment she's gotten for at least the past moon in preparation for the day her life would get to go back to normal—the day she'd get her do-over!—so...it has to be different. It has to change or she'll start to hate it. So Whiterabbit casts a brief glance over the pelts of her slumbering denmates, and she makes her decision at random.

Patpat. Pat. An insistent paw tapping against Scorpionsight's flank.

"Hey. Scorpionsight. Pssst. It's important, you need to get up."

Patpatpat!

"Right now, I need you up right now."

------------------


Scorpionsight was dreaming about squirrels, for some reason, when she was woken by a paw tapping on her insistently.

She groggily looked up at the other cat.
Whiterabbit, who Scorpionsight was pretty sure had just moved back into being a warrior.

She sounded like whatever she was talking about was important, and the tapping didn't stop.

Scorpionsight sat up with a yawn.
"Uh, what's going on?" She asked in her usual quiet voice.

WHITERABBIT . 20 MOONS . SHE/HER . WINDCLAN

Whiterabbit's smile is fiendish as the pale-faced warrior finally rouses, but she manages to suppress it under a look of earnest urgency.

"You have to get up all the way so I can show you, silly," she laughs, reaching out to try and sneak in a few more insistent pats as if this would be the way to get Scorpionsight properly on her feet. "It's right outside camp, right now. Hurry, I really need a second pair of eyes on this." She urges, already shufflewalking herself backwards out of the den—but not leaving Scorpionsight entirely without an imploring, wide-eyed stare aimed right at her.

"C'mon, you gotta, I'm serious!" Seriously a pest, anyway.

Scorpionsight moved to her feet with a short, quick stretch, as Whiterabbit's baps continued to hit her for a moment.
"Okay, okay." The bengal said softly "I'll come with you."

Whiterabbit does sound pretty urgent, after all.
Scorpionsight follows her.

WHITERABBIT . 20 MOONS . SHE/HER . WINDCLAN

Whiterabbit celebrates with a short, wordless hoot of satisfaction to see Scorpionsight up on her paws, following along. She cuts across the clearing with a quick, purposeful trot, dashing to the entrance and pausing only once to ensure that Scorpionsight is still in tow. Her shortened tail flicks, and she's hopping out into the territory.

"Okay, do you see it?" Whiterabbit asks softly, a meandering guide into the early morning. It's totally unclear what she's referring to. "Right there, you see?" She's stopped now. Whatever 'it' is still hasn't been made apparent.

Scorpionsight couldn't see whatever Whiterabbit was talking about.
So, the bengal squinted.

And still nothing.

She stopped squinting.
"Um.. what am I seeing?" Her confusion was evident, though her voice was still quiet.

WHITERABBIT . 20 MOONS . SHE/HER . WINDCLAN

She gawks at Scorpionsight, mouth agape, warm eyes aglow with mock-disbelief. Like she's acting out some elder's story, Whiterabbit's all exaggerated, all play.

"Wh-What? You mean you don't see it?" She's gone full ham, even throwing a little wobbly-lipped pout in there before drawing her gaze to some distant point behind Scorpionsight with a breathless, "oh....oh no........oh no it's there you have to run!"

She gives herself a litte start forward before slowing, looking over her shoulder, "Run, Scorpionsight, run!"

Scorpionsight is definitely the most confused she's ever been.
And then Whiterabbit says that... she has to run?
What?

Scorpionsight gives an unsure glance behind her, but sees nothing.
Huh?
"What, uh, exactly am I... running from?" The bengal asked, though she does move forward a little as she speaks.

"Go, go, Scorpionsight! We have to go! Run away!!"

Her shriek is childish and joyful, a kitten in a game of tag. Scorpionsight's hesitation is overlooked; Whiterabbit just circles back, coming close to try and land a firm, forceful nudge against her flank.

"Does it matter? What kinds of things would you run from?" She asks, voice still bright and bubbling with laughter. "Okay, iiiiit's...badgers! Only they've got hawk talons and snake fangs! Yeah?? Or...or it's a dozen angry Shadowclanners. Or it's twolegs! Or dogs," she spits that last one out with a look of marked disgust that's quickly eaten away by her manic grin. "It's whatever! Whatever makes you want to run, alright? C'mon, don't get cold feet on me now! Unlessssss, you want me to chase you?"

Scorpionsight starts yo get it.
Okay, so, this is like... a game.
Maybe Whiterabbit was just super bored in the nursery and has a lot of pent up energy or something.
It's... odd, that's for sure, buuut Scorpionsight can play along.

"Okay, I'll run. Uh, no need to chase." She replied.
Running is WindClans thing anyway, right?
Anywho.
Here goes.

Scorpionsight braces herself aaand..
Takes off running.
