((~calls a halt to the RP~ Scean is going to bed, and we can't exactly continue this scene without him. We will continue when he returns.
In the meantime, feel free to play out any interactions that happened within the past week.))

((just so I can be a part of it))
Rusty slowly walks in from where she had been sleeping at the back of the junkyard. She stepped towards Munkustrap. "Hey what's going on? And who's that?" She had only just awoken, this was evident from her stretches, the commotion didn't affect her at all, she was just midly curious, obviously not understanding the danger they were all in.

((See above excuse...))
Deuteronomy had woken upon hearing the commotion. His energy had been less than optimal, but had least he was healthy. Though his magic was still blitzing out whenever he tried to heal a cat of much more than a bruise or a scrape...
Scampering out of the piano, cursing silently, he saw Munkustrap answering as the leader. Dammit... Dammit! May be best to play dumb, act as a kitten would... Yes, a harmless kitten... I might be able to use my size to my advantage...

Electra saw Munkustrap walk out of the piano, worried. She padded over to Burelle. " Miss Burelle, what's going on? Is Mr. Munky ok?" Electra asked. Mali and Aprilli had no care in the world.. They were too busy tackling each other, giggling.

Simeon squealed as one of his sisters squished his tail. Queens!
Jemima whimpered and clung to Burelle. Her mommy wasn't as close, and Etcy was hugging her, anyway. Jemmy didn't like Macavity. She had only seen him once, during the Ball, and had buried her face in Jennyanydots.
Bombalurina insinctively clutched her stomach. She felt a hard kick in her stomach and uttered a soft, "Oomf!" She watched Munkustrap exit the piano, then walked back to where Jelly, Burelle, and the kittens were in the back.
Jemima transferred her hug from Burelle to Bomba. "Bomba," she whispered, "what's gonna happen?"
Bomba kissed the top of Jemmy's head softly. "I don't know, honey."

"There's bad trouble outside," Burelle told the older kittens, curling close around Simeon and Leathik. "Stay here, with us, and we'll keep you safe. Munkustrap is going to go chase away the bad cats, but until he does, we need to stay here and be quiet, so we can hear him if he tells us to do something." She had to be strong for her kittens, and for the older kittens, had to be brave so they wouldn't panic or cry. That was easier said than done, though, as Macavity showing up to kill her youngest sons had been one of her fears. She hugged the tomkits closer and kissed their little ears. I won't let you go without a fight.
Etcetera pushed behind Burelle and Bomba, squishing herself into the corner with her snugglebunny. Monniks! Part of her wanted to run outside and see if Zalika was there... but most of her was scared. Macavity was there. He was a scary cat. He kept ouching Munkstrap, and he ouched Mistokitty, and Lonzo, and during the Ball, he had ouched her too... not much, but still a little. He ouched LOTS of kitties.

Simeon struggled away from his brother and latched onto a nipple. He was hungry, and needed food. White milk guzzled down his face and he giggled, milk bubbles popping in his mouth.
Bombalurina looked at Burelle, fear in her eyes. She didn't like the idea of her mate facing Macavity. She knew what he was capable.

"Everything will be fine," Burelle said, meeting Bombalurina's gaze. She stroked Simeon's head as he nursed, hoping this wouldn't be the last time she held him.

Simeon burped and snuggled into his momma. He looked up at her with wide eyes and smiled. "Mmma," he murmured.
Jemima clung to Bomba. She started to think... what about her tom! "I know someone who can help, Bomba," she whispered, then decided to announce it to Burelle and her sisters. "I know somebody who can help kick Macavity away!"
"Who, Jemmy?" Bombalurina asked, not really considering the fact the kitten shouldn't be meeting strange toms anyway.

Burelle smiled and kissed Simeon's head. "That's right, sweetie," she whispered. "I'm your momma. And I'm always gonna be your momma, no matter what."
"Zalika could do it," Etcetera said, though her voice was muffled by the fact that she was squished between two large queens and the wall. She was comfortable, though. The queens were warm and soft.

Selina had now backed up into the piano, her ears alert, her eyes wide in shock and fear. She finally turned around to look at Jemmy and Etcetera. "We need more then two toms." She said her voice slighty hoarse as her ears flattened against her head. "I think they have gathered all the Monniks." She said. "There are hundreds, thousands of them there." She said shaking head head the burrying her face into Burelles fur.

"Mmmmmmmma," Simeon repeated, giggling.
Jemima nodded. "His name is MacLaggen, and he's SCPOTTISH!"
"What?" Bomba said, lifting Jemima to face her. "He's what?"
"Smottish... Sfottish..."
"Scottish?" Bomba ventured. Jemima nodded.
"Yeah! SCOTTISH!"

"We have four toms," Burelle said. "Munkustrap, Quaxo, the new one, and Admetus. And there aren't thousands of Monniks. Only a few hundred, at the most." She looked down at her kitten. Simeon's first word. He was growing up so fast... Burelle lifted him up and looked at him, commiting every detail of his tiny face to memory. She didn't know why this tom, of her entire litter, was her favorite... but he had very firmly secured a place in her heart. She woudl be devestated when Macavity killed him.
Etcetera poked her head out from between the queens, scowling at Jemima. "You never told me about no Smottish tom!"

"I'm sorry, Etcy! But he's reallllyy nice!" Jemmy told her sister.
"Nice?" Bombalurina almost screamed. That's what she had said about Maca-- him. Him. She looked at Burelle, trying to see how she was reacting. Maybe Bomba was just overreacting because of her... expirience.

"Then why didn't you tell me about him!?" Etcetera demanded, pouting.
"Hmm?" Burellle looked away from Simeon, meeting Bombalurina's gaze. She wasn't paying much attention to the older kittens, too worried about her own.
