Jellylorum stumbled, not knowing how to answer. "I'll have to look at them to know for sure, dear." She hoped they weren't dead. The tribe had more than its share of hardship in the past few weeks. The death of kittens was always hard.
"Need some help?" Coricopat asked Munkustrap. "I can try to carry you the rest of the way if you need to rest."

"Brelle would be sad if they were like Zali and Pussine," Etcetera said sadly. "And I'd be sad too."
Munkustrap shook his head. "Too small," he said, nodding to Coricopat. The younger Jellicle wouldn't be able to carry him, and if Munkustrap stopped, he wouldn't be starting again. "We're almost there..."

((Hmm.. Is there anything that affected the kittens so far? I know Etcy got catnapped and Tainte was fighting with a Tom. And that's about it.))

Tantomile skidded to a halt inside the train station, nearly taking Skimbleshanks down with her. "Sorry," she mumbled, setting the motionless kittens down gently. "They won't wake up. I've tried everything I can and they won't wake up." She walked off, not wanting the rest of the group to witness her breakdown.
A few minutes later, Jellylorum ran into the train station. "Where are the kittens?" she shouted, making a beeline for them. Gently, she picked them up and ran somewhere where prying eyes wouldn't see her. She tried everything she knew, but the kittens remained motionless.

((Cold. Etcetera and Jelly got abducted by a Monnik, and Aprilli and Mali froze to death. V_V
This thread and the Meanwhile thread are going to intersect soon - the Meanwhile thread gang is headed for the train station about half a day after this one.))
Munkustrap made it into the train station and collapsed in a corner, out of the way of passing humans. He was breathing heavily, and he pressed his paws against his chest, trying to stop the bleeding from his reopened wounds.
Etcetera ran behind her momma, trying to be helpful.

Jellylorum emerged from the supply cabinet she had used to hide the kittens while she tended to them. "There wasn't anything I could do," she muttered sadly, slumping to the ground. "I'm so sorry, Munkustrap."
Coricopat walked up to his sister and nuzzled her shoulder gently. "Hey," he whispered gently, "what happened wasn't your fault."
"They froze to death, Cori," she sobbed. "All because we have to have this kind of fur," she gestured to her short, fine fur. "I couldn't keep them warm. I could hardly keep myself warm!" She walked away from him, needing some alone time.

By this time Pounce had passed out somewhere. He couldn't keep up, was cold, and just panicked. The Tomkit never dealt well with this kind of pressure. So now he was unconscious and shivering like crazy.
((Gaaahh.. Craaaappy post. >_<;; sorry.))
