The Pond is a good way to get water to store at the nests. It is easyer to collect water from here than from dew drops. The Pond is about 12 yards long and 15 across.

Skree lapped up a bit of the water before scurrying around the pond. He seemed to be searching for something.
A few moments later, he found it. He watched the nesting swan, waiting for it to fly away. Eventually it did and Skree crept up to the nest. To his amazing luck, there were five little nestling swans. He crept closer, glad they were sleeping. He would feast tonight! He grabbed the nearest one, it was as big as he was, and pulled it squawking from the nest. He dispatched it neatly with a bite to the back of it’s neck and scurried off woth the dead swanlet in tow.
Comment by Nova August 14, 2008 @ 3:03 pmSkree finished up his meal just as the rain started again. He scurried for his burrow cursing the rain, though still glad it’d waited until after he’d finished eating.
Comment by Nova August 15, 2008 @ 2:47 amSkree circled nervously in his burrow. Booring…
Comment by Nova August 15, 2008 @ 3:10 pm(I always admired how you could roleplay with yourself, Aubrey. All those uber-long Nova posts, and now Skree…:D)
Comment by Alicebelle August 15, 2008 @ 7:12 pm(Well if Scree happened to be were a patrol was after the rain…)
Comment by Toes August 16, 2008 @ 12:13 am(Thanks! I much prefer RPing with other people though. My charrie get’s boring after a while… So what happens is I start dragging the posts on and on. Cramming as much detail in them as I can. Uber long Nova posts… They were actually good? I was Uber bored when typing those, constantly hoping that ally would have the sence to introduce another wolf to stop her suicide… Well… It didn’t actually happen… So… )
Skree wandered up to the top of his burrow and sniffed the rain, trying to discern how much longer it was planning on hindering him. Deciding that it was going to be quite a bit longer, he ducked back down into the recesses of his home.
Tittering aggrivatedly, he brushed off the ceiling dirt that had fallen onto the scrap of carpeting he’d stolen from the humans. He then rearranged the ’tiles’ of broken glass on his back wall.
He checked the rain situation again, and found it no better. With nothing much left to do, he burrowed into his pile of accumulated fluff and fell asleep to wait out the rain.
Comment by Nova August 17, 2008 @ 7:02 pmSkree woke up and checked the status of the rain again. To his delight, it looked like it was almost over. He ran excited circles around his burrow, before sitting at the entrance, waiting for the last drop to fall.
Comment by Nova August 18, 2008 @ 2:47 pmSkree skittered out the second the sun brightened the hole of his burrow. He sniffed the air experamentaly. It smelled wet. He could also scent no danger. He skittered a little farther out. Time to scavenge for things for his home.
Comment by Nova August 18, 2008 @ 5:26 pmScarlet walked around the pond. She saw a burrow. It was Skree’s. “I can scent another rodent.” Said Mimi. “Me to.”Said Scarlet.
Comment by Toes August 18, 2008 @ 11:58 pm(Skree is at the flower patch right now.)
Comment by Nova August 19, 2008 @ 1:07 amScarlet walked over to the rest of her small patrol. “Let’s check out the Flower patch.” She said. Mimi nodded. The waited for Luna’s opinion.
Comment by Toes August 19, 2008 @ 12:19 pm‘Ya, okay, flower patch, i got it.” Luna said quickly as she stared off into space.
Comment by packgoater August 19, 2008 @ 6:07 pmScarlet walked slowly to the flower patch. She was enjoying the field.
Comment by Toes August 19, 2008 @ 9:41 pmScarlet got closer and closer to Skree.
Comment by Toes August 20, 2008 @ 12:39 pmLuna was right behind Scarlet, wanting to see Fuzz, althogh she urged that thought away. At least she tried. “Fuzz is all alone with that female chinchilla!” Luna thought.
Comment by packgoater August 20, 2008 @ 2:47 pmSkree appeared out of the grass as a ball of red flowers. he stopped suddenly and dropped his bounty. Seeing the other rodents, his whiskers twitched and trembled. “What might you creatures be alliancing for tonight? Surely you are not attempting to apprehend myself! Oh but dear… You have come from the general direction of my home!”
Comment by Nova August 21, 2008 @ 3:36 amScarlet rolled her eyes. “Well actually we have came to ask weither you are aware there is a horde forming currently and this has been made part of the territory.” Said Scarlet. she was slightly annoyed with the way this rat talked.
Comment by Toes August 21, 2008 @ 12:10 pm(Heh. Skree can be annoying. He’s putting on a facade though. Now the facade is gone.)
Skree puffed up, extremely annoyed. “So… You’re claming my home as your own? What if I don’t want that? Hmm? Are you going to kill me then, cause I really don’t recommend that. I’m a very good fighter and will definately kill at least one or the other of you!”
Comment by Nova August 21, 2008 @ 2:23 pm“Ah I am doing neither. I have come to ask what you call your territory so we can work around it. I am not going to kill you either.” Said Scarlet. The Rat was really annoying!
Comment by Toes August 21, 2008 @ 6:18 pmSkree skittered around them, leaving the flowers behind. When he returned to his position, he straightened up. “I’d like you to to avoid the area around the pond without my express permission. If you would like to use the pond, send a messenger.” Skree realized he’s be able to get somthing out of this. “Make sure the messenger comes bearing a gift too! Nothing big, just something. Do we have a deal?”
Comment by Nova August 21, 2008 @ 7:35 pmScarlet cracked up laughing. “Whatever your name is I do not think that will work. The pond is used by all three clans not just you. We can give you your own chunk if you want but please! Also we can give you a chunk of the field and flower patch but not the whole thing that’s just stupid!” Said Scarlet seriously.
Comment by Toes August 21, 2008 @ 8:09 pm“You little rat! You beast! I am bringing no gift of any kind to you, except one that contains death!” Luna said ruthlessly . “You killing us? The pond is ours…not yours. I shall battle you to the death over that pond… and I will win.” she said puffing up her chest just as much as he.
Comment by Stonefur August 21, 2008 @ 8:13 pm“Luna, Are you the leader? Do you think it is wise to threaten someone?”Said Scarlet in the calmest tone she could manage.
Comment by Toes August 21, 2008 @ 8:22 pmSkree puffed up in anger at both Skarlet’s and Luna’s words. “I will defend the pond against ANY intruders! And I am very good at it too! If you furball wnat to test me go ahead! I’ll fight you and I’ll win! Just bring it on!”
Comment by Nova August 21, 2008 @ 8:39 pmScarlet sighed. “You see this is the opposite of the point. We came here so there would NOT be a fight!” she said tiredly.
Comment by Toes August 21, 2008 @ 8:44 pm“Then why’d you bring big mouth over there along, hmm?” Skree asked angrily. “Seems like all she wasn’t is a fight! I’d like to live im my own place and NOT BE BOTHERED thank you very much! But I can’t have that with other rats invading my territory in search of food, now can I?”
Comment by Nova August 21, 2008 @ 8:59 pmScarlet shook her head sadly. “We’ll give your place a wide girth.” she muttered and then told Luna to head back to camp. “The hordes have been her for longer then you have.” And then she walked away with Mimi.
Comment by Toes August 21, 2008 @ 9:10 pmSkree nodded assertively and scurried back to his den to make sure it had not been raided. In his hurry, he’d left the flowers hed collected.
Comment by Nova August 21, 2008 @ 9:13 pmSeeing nothing disturbed, Skree relaxed a bit. Those two rats really got under his fur. Why’d they have to go and try to claim his territory anyway? Skree had lived in his burrow pretty much his whole life without the hordes bothering him, why’d they have to start now?
Comment by Nova August 21, 2008 @ 9:27 pmSkree, with nothing much better to do, took a swim in the pond. There weren’t enough big fish to bother him, and by nature he was a pretty good swimmer.
Comment by Nova August 23, 2008 @ 5:37 amA hawk swooped down and noms Skree.

Comment by Nova August 26, 2008 @ 10:57 pmMeh!!! Why Skree die? Wahh!!! X’,,’0
