#ch. okapi

[lena-rambles]

as a notorious Warrior Cats Kid(tm) from age 8, i am obligated to stop and do oc generators whenever i come across them. i did one the other night and now i have a new oc and y'all,, her voice is so funny and i'm having a blast writing her.

(btw to set the scene: she's a housecat swept away by a flood + has been clinging to a broken pool noodle going down a river. she's saved by a couple wild cats and sapphic panics immediately. also her name is okapi bc if i had a cat looking like her, that's definitely what i would name her)

here are some choice lines:

She knows of the river's secrets, how it could tug her below the surface before she could cat her first waul.

.

She notices the tall molly first, her white fur curling thick around her face and speckled like stars in a strange sky.

“Erm,” she says. Real eloquently, too.

.

Strikingly Beautiful Molly speaks next with a hint of a rasp that Okapi wants to sink her claws into. Just a little bit, mind.

.

The tall molly continues, casting a glance over Okapi’s form. It’s more dubious than interested, but a cat can pretend.

.

“Bet she hasn’t even unsheathed her claws before,” he says and it sounds like a thousand wasps nested in his throat and had their little devil babies.

.

Okapi feels her neck fur ruffle in what could be called embarrassment, were she any other cat.
