Thinking about Caimanpaw again and his human counterpart, I should try and add the other main characters of his story.

👀

I just had an image pop into my head. Weaselpaw and Crowpsw being dicks, when they start doing it to Caimanpaw. Caimanpaw, while being an anxious mess, knows how to fight. Not even getting into the "if Siltstar and Firefeather start a custody battle" thing, because Firefeather would be pissed.

I imagine Caimanpaw wrecking their shit while also being an anxious mess and crying

After the whole Rottingbone incident, Warscar was pissed at Caimanpaw because with the injuries the others had, he couldn't have escaped unscathed.

He concluded that Caimanpaw must have been holding back, and trained with claws out to prove his theory.

sounds like such a great guy

@frightnightindustries Two fellas!

They both died the same way (falling, blunt force), but I thought what if it appears in different ways?

For Breezefleck, the fall was much greater (and maybe had more dust on the ground), so he's always bleeding from his mouth. Sometimes it can make him hard to understand, so he typically spits out blood before he talks to sound more coherent.

Caimanpaw also bleeds from his mouth but only when he's experiencing elevated emotions that would get his blood really pumping. It's also a tell of his--if he's lying, he'll bleed from his mouth (or visibly hold it in) because he's nervous he'll get caught.

But these are your characters! These are just ideas I had. Let me know what you think!

Caimanpaw's story is surprisingly similar to the "Bring My Parents Back" song that Duolingo actually made.

Duolingo what

If Coyotehoot did go to the death ring, I can imagine him going "HEY, LITERAL DEITY I GAVE MY SOUL TO, CAN YOU HELP OUT?"

And the hawk is like "Nah bro you're on your own."

That's the thing about the BayClan (and lotusclan i guess) Beasts. They're a bunch of assholes.

Also, another interaction I had an idea for

Coyotehoot: Wow, even in a world of cats who have done so much worse than you and I, you're still alone? No parents, no sister? Pathetic.

Caimanpaw: .....yOU MEAN THE PARENTS THAT YOU MURDERED-

no one else can see or hear it so they're just like "who the fuck is he yelling at?"

Hmmm....Would Coyotehoot go to the death ring?

It’s usually for the REALLY BAD cats so there’s a good chance he’ll get lucky and get a get out of jail free card

buuut there’s no set rules, and if someone is determined enough to drag him down, they’ll drag him down

The most likely case is he’ll be left relatively alone (maybe beat up or attacked every now and again, but that’s still a lot better than being forced into the Death Ring), UNLESS he pushes his luck and tries to kill Caimanpaw (or another young cat) again. In that case, he’ll most likely be captured by his attempted victim’s adoptive family (if there is any)

Imagining Caimanpaw arriving, and he's just hyperventilating, praying to starclan, and the first cat he comes across is Gingerstamp who just goes "Hi!" and Caimanpaw runs away like a looney toons cartoon

he leaves behind a dust cloud in the shape of himself
