Winter's Coming

[Shannon]

{...

Not the best place for Jemmy and Bomba...

I'll wait until the fight is over. xD

Oh, and Alonzo, Plato, and Tumblebrutus have been introduced? Cool!}

Quaxo twitched his ear as he spotted the black kitten on the cushions. "Etcetera, get away from him." he said in a warning tone, lip twitching slightly as he lifted Etcetera carefully, moving her away from the black kitten.

After a long sigh, Quaxo turned to Jellylorum and ran his paw through the fur on his head. "Er... would you believe me if I said Macavity kidnapped me? Munk brought a few cats along to come find me, they got me out, Tumble's on his way with Plato. He's pretty beat up... got in a fight with one of the big henchcats, Cattivo." Quaxo immediately winced, having revealed that he knew more than he should of the Monniks.


Cattivo hissed, feeling the slashes against his face. He curled up into a ball, covering his face and trying to dull the pain. He knew he would be losing a lot of blood because of this attack - and even more after Macavity found out that he let the Jellicle go.

[Munkustrap Etc.]

"No!" Etcetera squealed, hissing and trying to get Quaxo put her down. "I's supposed to be nursing him!"

"Sit, sit," Jellylorum said, pointing to a place on the cushion. "Where are you hurt? I'll tend to Plato when he gets here..." She began trying to wash Quaxo's wounds, moving Etcetera aside.

Tumble and Plato stumbled into the dresser a few minutes later.

After he was certain Cattivo wasn't going to be going anywhere, Munkustrap backed away, shaking his head slightly - he had blood dripping down his face that was threatening to fall into his eyes. Still on his guard, Munkustrap looked around. Aside from Cattivo, he couldn't see any other Monniks. Time to get back.

[Arya]

Cassie shook her head watching Munkstrap slash the cat to death. This wasn't like him. She had covered the white part of her face with suit to blend in, she snuck in about five minutes ago. She walked over to Munkstrap and rested a hand on his shoulder gently, comforting. "Munk, let go home. Quaxo and the rest are there, where is Rumple and Jerrie?" She asked her voice calm. She looked down at the injured cat and sighed. "Come on." She said gently tugigng on the toms shoulder.

[Arya]

(I was just tired of lurking!)

[Arya]

(Thats why I had Cassie go all outlaw on Munky. I'll bring in Mungo and Rumple after everyone thinks their dead and are all =( )

Quaxo winced when Jellylorum went to nurse his wounds, and shook his head. "Jelly, listen, I'm fine. Just please, tend to Plato when he gets here. I need to get back and help Munkustrap." he whimpered, biting his lip. It was a weak attempt, however, because he knew Jellylorum wouldn't let him leave until she'd finished patching him up.

He glanced over when the other two entered and smiled at them, standing and helping Plato over to Jellylorum. Quaxo turned to Tumblebrutus and bit his lip softly, sighing. "I guess I have to explain some things, huh? Come on, Tumble."

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Munkustrap hissed and spun, slashing out at Cassandra with his claws. It was not a good idea to sneak up on Munkustrap when he was in his fighting mode. He didn't seem to recognize her.

Jellylorum frowned at Quaxo, but she released him when Plato came in, obviously more injured. "Very well, but you come right back here, you hear?"

Etcetera had curled up next to Zalika again, quietly watching the older toms with their injuries. The way she was vibrating, though, showed that she had a lot of questions, but she was staying quiet because Zalika was ouchied.

Tumble nodded and slipped out of the dresser once Jelly had begun tending to Plato, turning his eyes curiously toward Quaxo, only a bit of fear in his gaze. "So."

[[scean]]

Quaxo slipped out of the dresser as well, shifting from foot to foot as he slid his arms behind his back, lacing them together and biting his lip. "Er, well, yeah." he said nervously, not really knowing how to explain that he'd been Macavity's son this entire time. He took a deep breath and flicked his ears back, curling his tail between his legs.

"Yeah, so... basically... I'm his son." Quaxo murmured, rubbing the back of his neck with one paw.

[Arya]

Cassandra jumped back dodging the handful of claws. "MUNKY!" She yelled sternly wiping the suit off her face. "It's me calm down! Now where is Rumple and Jerrie! They didn't come back with the others." She said her voice still stern.

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Tumble crossed his arms over his chest and rubbed his elbows. "So, you knew about this? Uh, no, I mean... that came out wrong... you've always been... well, duh! Of course you've always been..." He sat down, shaking his head. "Everlasting Cat, Quaxo... is that even your name? Macavity... he called you something else... Mizzy?"

Munkustrap hissed again at the mention of Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie, striking out again. Even with the soot off her face, Cassandra was unfamiliar to Munkustrap. He had fallen too far into Ritzkin when he attacked Cattivo, and it would take him a while to come back to his senses.

[[scean]]

"Mirza." Quaxo said quietly, kneeling in front of Tumblebrutus and reaching over to rest a hand on his shoulder. He glanced around quickly, hoping no one had heard him utter that name - honestly, he didn't want anyone else to recognize him that didn't already know. "Don't call me that, though, and don't say it out loud." He ran a paw over his own face and looked to the ground. "Listen, I'm not... you know, evil or anything like my father. I used to be... I got that out of my system before I even came here."

[Munkustrap Etc.]

"You can get evil out of your system?" Tumble asked, looking up at Quaxo. "You were evil?" He was talking quietly, so no other cat could overhear them.

[Arya]

Cassandra growled and ducked dodging the strike again, she grabed the toms paw and tried to twist it, but her arms muscle not half as big as his it wasn't working so well. "Munky I don't like you like this! What happened!" She yelled sounding more angry now. "I'M GOING HOME YOU GO GET MUNGO AND RUMPLE AND BRING THEM HOME BY YOURSELF!" She yelled throwing her arms up in the air. She took off strutting home, mumbling.

[[scean]]

Quaxo shook a paw and sighed quietly, shaking his head slowly as well. "I wasn't... evil, per se... I guess... it was... ugh, being raised by... you know, him, it tends to turn you bad." He paused, biting his lip softly and glancing around again. "I wasn't really evil... I didn't want to be. I had to be, though, or else Father would... you know, hurt me."
