[Firestar's tone of voice suggests that he is just barely keeping calm -- he sounds rather angry, actually.]

I'm sorry to be coming forward now. I have...made warnings about this in the past, but it appears in my absence things have only intensified.

My name is Firestar, and I have had dealings with the groups of rogue felines that are having their way with Neon City. They call themselves BloodClan. I only know what I do from looking around the D-Comms, but it appears your current...problems are caused from them.

I do not have a Clan to fight alongside me. And those I do have are scattered. But it is my responsibility to offer my assistance in whatever way you need it. Scourge-- BloodClan must not be able to continue to cause these horrid attacks.

I apologize for not doing anything about them before. I was...indisposed, but that doesn't excuse anything. I only hope we can share what we know to end their reign as soon as possible.

[There is the sound of a roar of pain -- Thundermane -- and the sound of swords hitting something-- it sounds like armor. Chaos.]

[The D-Comm clicks on and a yowl is heard first.]

I will tell you again, creature, I need to return to my Clan. If you don't tell me where I am--

[And in response is a gasp, sounds like something is struggling.]

I-it's j-just me, Firestar-s-sama, l-let me go. You-- I don't know how--

[A hiss.] My name is Fireheart. You keep calling me a leader. I don't know what kind of cat you're supposed to be, imitating a Lion, but you're not going to trick me. [Voice raises.] Any rogues watching, come out! I'm not afraid of you! I am deputy of ThunderClan!!

Firest-- Fireheart. I-- I'm not an enemy. I'm a-- ...I'm fr-from-- please just let me up. Please.

[Pause.] ...I'll remove my paw from your throat. Any fast moves and I-- I won't hesitate to unsheathe my claws again.

...My name is Thundermane. I'm from a group of cats beyond Twolegplace. Foxes are invading our den. I came to get...help. I heard about ThunderClan's-- ...hospitality. You were the only one I could think of. I don't know where we are. I-- I got lost following you. There's no one here, but the device around your neck. It looks to be of some help. If any friendly cats are around maybe we could use it. For help.

...You know if you're leading me into a trap I'll flay your fur.

I-- I know. I wouldn't be foolish to mess with Fires-- Fireheart. Stories of how you lead your clan out of the burning forest have spread. Here-- let me look at that device--

[Recording ends.]

...Being sad takes too much energy...

Coronamun-kun'll remember me one day. I'll see Lola again. I've got Firestar-sama and Graystripe-san and Jayfeather-kun and...I'll be okay...

Hoping I can run today and get away faster
Than ever from here
Another night and who can say if leaving is better
Than living in fear

Here's to all the broken hearts tonight
Here's to all the "fall-a-parts" tonight
Here's to every girl and boy who lost their joy
They let it get away

You know it's never too late
Get up and start all over again
You know it's never too late
There's got to be a better way
Don't settle for the cold and rain
It's not too late to start again
To find a way to smile and never let it get away!

It's been too long and we've been down and out without laughter
No smiling just tears
We're tired of falling down and being such a disaster
We've been here for years

Here's to all the broken hearts tonight
Here's to all the "fall-a-parts" tonight
Here's to every girl and boy who lost their joy
They let it get away

You know it's never too late
Get up and start all over again
You know it's never too late
There's got to be a better way
Don't settle for the cold and rain
It's not too late to start again
To find a way to smile and never let it get away!

I'm gone, I'm gone, there's got to be a better way, I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, there's got to be a better way, I'm gone

You know it's never too late
(I'm gone, I'm gone)
You know it's never too late
(I'm gone, I'm gone)
There's got to be a better way
(I'm gone, I'm gone)

...Things certainly have changed in the time I've been frozen. I haven't seen that many leave at one time before... In any case. I hope those who have returned find peace in their homes, and others...are well.

[Sudden surprised mrrrow?] What's this? Something new in my D-Reader...

...

A mass-send of potions from Yzma. Several days ago, probably before she returned to her world. Potions for my usual cat transformation and...a variety of others.

...

"You'll make good use of them." I certainly will. Thank you, Yzma. Amazing, isn't it, Thundermane? I never thought I'd get so comfortable with Twolegs, and... Thundermane? What's wrong?

...Firestar-sama, how come I can't talk to Lola anymore? Sh-she's not answering her Rise Bracer and we always have those on us?

...Oh, Thundermane.

Does she not want to talk to me or something? That has to be the reason, because she can't be...

...Come on, Thundermane. I know a tree where there's cream. And milk. You need that right now.

I assume Kazune is still frozen, but...I heard about what happened at the Silver Dragon and I'm sorry. Have you found a new place to live? I would offer the park, but Graystripe, Feathertail, and Jayfeather may not be comfortable with that idea.

[Locked from Jayfeather]

I discovered my grandson has been taking poppy seeds to help him sleep, and even then he doesn't seem to be getting much rest. I've heard him talking in his sleep and he's been thrashing around. I would usually ask the medicine cat what to do, but, well...Jayfeather is the medicine cat. I know many here are not familiar with the way cats work, but...is there anyone who has any suggestions on what I can do?

...So you say it's been a year - a...a season. Great StarClan...I haven't seen them in a whole season.

...Firestar-sama...

...But...but still...though I want more than anything to go home...I don't regret it. I don't regret being brought here. I've learned so much about other species - so much I myself had forgotten - and made so many new friends.

With...without you, Firestar-sama, I'd still be in D'Ango Forest, only dreaming. I'd still be...a coward. And I never would've met Coronamon-kun or Lola or any of my other friends! So...even though you want to go home, and I want to get you there-

I understand. My trusted partner. ...No, no, I don't regret it. [sigh] ...And even after a season...this thing still acts up.

Eh? Firestar-sama?

[Mrrow of laughter, slightly purr] The Digital World just heard us, Thundermane.

[ooc: And Ari couldn't help it. I don't regret anything either, guys. ^_^]

thunderleader — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 01:37:30 GMT

A new arrival by the name of Scourge has just introduced himself and his....endeavor of BloodClan.

I urge all of you to not listen to his lies, for any Clan he leads is only to benefit himself. He...may not be as dangerous as others here, but he is not to be taken lightly just because he is small. In my world...he killed a fellow leader with one blow. All nine lives, gone in a flash.

...he is not...someone to be taken lightly.

thunderleader — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:44:13 GMT

Um, Firestar-sama wouldn't want me saying this, but...I have to.

Something...happened to him during the invasion and now he's very...distant. And brooding. It just isn't like him. Can I - can anyone help me out? I really don't know why he could be acting like this...

thunderleader — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 04:07:05 GMT

Now that all this snow's gone, it's good to be back in Tetha Park.

I still don't get why we had to leave so fast - I liked spending time at the Inn, Firestar-sama!

Thundermane, warriors don't sleep in Twoleg nests.

Awww...

[Pause]

I still don't understand just what everyone was celebrating. And why they still seem to be. First there was "Christmas" and now this "new year..."

Oh, I can explain that, Firestar-sama. Starting tomorrow, this year will be over and a new one will begin.

...You're going to have to start at the beginning, Thundermane. What is a year?

It's twelve months - er, sort of like moons. Twelve months make up a year. It's a time-keeping thing. I think it has something to do with an ancient calender and old hocus pocus mumbo jumbo, but the point is, tomorrow it'll be the first day of the new year.

...Really.

Why do you need it?

[Rustling, Firestar clearing his throat]

This is something I should have done a long time ago, I think. Something that needs to be done. I haven't...performed this ritual since I was brought here, and this is the first time I have tried to adapt it to the Digital World. Still...

[Clears his throat again, and his voice comes out louder and clearer]

I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors...and this world's ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand not only your noble code, but that of both my world and his, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. [small pause] Leormon, do you promise to uphold- [longer pause] do you promise to fight for your world and to protect and those who need you, even at the cost of your own life?

I do.

Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name. Leormon, from this moment you shall be known as Thundermane. [Small pause] StarClan...and I honor your bravery and unyielding spirit. [voice is softer] Thundermane. You have taught me more than I could have ever imagined.

Th-thank you...Firestar-sama. I promise I won't let you down.

Firestar-sama? What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong, just...you know all those birthdays that people have been having? Well...I think mine's tomorrow.

...What?!

If memory serves...it's the anniversary of my mother's kitting...and that's what a birthday is, right?

WHAT.

Hey, we don't celebrate them back in the Clans! The only ones that matter are six moons and twelve moons!

WHAT?! FIRESTAR-SAMA!!

At least I actually mentioned it!

I sure picked a time to take a leave of absence...

You can say that again, Firestar-sama.

Ahem. Well, I'm now back in Tetha, but...it looks like I've missed a lot of things while I've been gone - I apologize for not being around to help with anything, especially the goings on at the Royal Base. I swear by StarClan that I will make up for time lost by helping in whatever way I can.

Looks like I got back in time for something, though. Happy Birthday, Karin.

13. Time to Reconnect!

thunderleader — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 18:49:16 GMT

Two moons. I've been here for two moons already. ...And a half moon, I should say.

Firestar-sama?

It'll be a full moon tonight back home, Leormon. You know what'd I'd be doing right now if I was back there? Resting up for the Gathering or deciding who would go and who would stay. Then we'd all make our way out of our territory, around the lake, and across the tree bridge to the island. We'd meet with the other Clans and see how the prey was running in their territories - learn of new warriors and apprentices or maybe even new medicine cats. We'd all be...connected. Together.

...

Ahhh, no need to worry, Leormon. I miss home, but...it's more nostalgia than anything.

I've felt lately that I've become to cut off from nature. In light of this, I'm going to take a bit of an...extended vacation around the Digital World - a real one this time. I promise to look out for psycho chicks with knives this time, I swear. I should be back in a half-moon or so.

12. You need to Paint with all the Colors of the Wind.... [ACCIDENTAL VOICE POST]

thunderleader — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:58:50 GMT

You think I'm an ignorant savage,
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so."
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me.
How can there be so much that you don't know?
You don't know ...

[Sound of grass crunching]
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim,
But I know every tree and living creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name.

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you,
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew.

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

[Sound of rushing wind, crunching grass]

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest.
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth.

[Sound of rustling leaves, slight purring in the voice]

Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth.

[Softer crunching, rustling stops]

The treetops and the forest are my brothers
The river and the moorland are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends.

[Emotional]
How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know.

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.

[Crunching stops]

You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint...with all the colors of the wind.</div>

[Sigh]

Very nice, Firestar-sama! I didn't know you could sing like that!

[Surprised yowl, end transmission]
