welcome to whistleclan! this is an interactive marriage between a clangen blog and an ask blog. decisions YOU make as the reader will influence the clan and its members.

using mostly talksprites (maybe even occasional art pieces), i simulate the effect of a visual novel in real time with the game mixed with my own interpretations!

WHISTLECLAN MOON 1 GOSSIP...

FLIPSWAN: Did you hear that Mottledspeckle pretended that he was going to get Wisteriapaw out of trouble, but instead he just threw him under the bus? Ha! I wouldn't have stood for that at all.

MOTTLEDSPECKLE: Oh yeah? Well, I heard that YOU were going to sneak out of camp at night with Emberspot. What's that about?

SLATEBURN: Agh... that reminds me of how I caught Briarswan talking about me behind his back. That's not like him at all... I wonder what I did wrong.

SLIGHTPAW: Aw, Slateburn. I'm sorry to hear that, are you alright?

events referenced below.

What do Mistlestar’s relationships look like at this point? Do they have anyone they’d consider a best friend, or anyone they dislike?

[You think about your clanmates for an evening, and two particular faces come to mind...]

[Fawnhowl, despite being a bit boastful and occasionally involving herself in trouble, is always a trusted companion you feel you can count on. Her skills are truly impressive, and she's gotten you out of a few jams herself. She was one of the cats you considered for deputy, but in all honesty you believe that she could do with a little more self discipline before considering the role of a clan leader in the future.]

[Flipswan is in a similar boat. She's always taken very good care of things around the camp, and due to your friendship with Fawnhowl you've come to know her mate quite a bit as well. Flipswan might be a little... eccentric, but she's a loyal clanmate, through and through.]

[Other than that... you could very much stand to know your clanmates more. Perhaps its your insecurity getting in the way... or maybe the paranoia.]

[whistleclan]

Fawnhowl hunted across the Burrowclan border. What should you do?

Forbid Fawnhowl from patrols when they get better for 2 moons.

Let Fawnhowl off with a stern warning.

Encourage Fawnhowl to do it more.

Briarswan brought back a mysterious kit... how should you handle that?

Pressure Briarswan to tell you where the kit came from.

Leave Briarswan alone for now.

feel free to send in asks for the cats to answer, too! or anything you want to say to me

MISTLESTAR: MOON 1

BRIARSWAN: Mistlestar...? Are you awake?

[You shuffle your head to look over at your friend and medicine cat. He's looking at you with the same compassionate smile as always, but something seems off about his demeanor. There's a tremble to his voice. You lift your head up.]

MISTLESTAR: Is something the matter, Briarswan?

BRIARSWAN: Please... just try to understand...

[You watch as Briarswan paws a small cat out from behind him. A kit. One that isn't of your clan normally.]

[You stammer for a few moments, and try to ask Briarswan about the origins of the small, mewling mass. He doesn't seem keen on talking about it.]

[You aren't one to turn away a kitten, so you nod and tell Briarswan that you'll discuss this more later.]

SLATEBURN: Hey, Mistlestar. Just wanted to let you know I'm headed to Briarswan. He's nervous I may have come down with something... I'll do my best to keep up with my duties until I'm better.

SLIGHTPAW: [The young apprentice doesn't quite seem to be on their best game this training session.]

MISTLESTAR: Slightpaw... is something bothering you?

[Upon hearing your question, the apprentice stops in their tracks. They hesitate for a moment, and then start speaking.]

SLIGHTPAW: I've been having a hard time sleeping. Recently, I feel like I've been having constant nightmares. I see these shadowy cats, sometimes they seem like they're dripping with blood. I don't know what it means.

SLIGHTPAW: I want to do my best. It's not fair that I keep seeing it. I feel like it's a bad omen- am I doing something wrong, Mistlestar?

[The words make you stumble a bit. Shadowy cats...? Your mind drifts as you think of the ghosts you've been seeing, but you bring yourself back down to earth. You need to be there for Slightpaw.]

[You put your tail against his back.]

MISTLESTAR: Sometimes... nightmares are just nightmares. And if it turns out to mean something, we'll help you, Slightpaw. You're doing wonderful, okay? There's a reason I chose to mentor you specifically, you know.

[That seems to have cheered them up.]

[As you're having a conversation, you watch Fawnhowl limping on a mangled leg back to the medicine cat den.]

MISTLESTAR: ...What happened?

FAWNHOWL: I tried to catch a rabbit over the Burrowclan border. They just caught me on a bad day- any other and I'd-

[You glare at Fawnhowl, and that seems to make her go quiet.]

[whistleclan]

MISTLESTAR: INTRO

[The leaves are beginning to fall, and the wind has begun to pick up. You know what that means - and it's even more evident whenever you lift your nose and smell the crisp air. It must finally be leaf-fall. At long last.]

[Leading a clan is a lot of hard work, and leaf-fall is your favorite season.]

[Your name is MISTLESTAR. You're the leader of WHISTLECLAN, a recently founded clan that joined the neighboring ones. Your territory is flat plains, where you and your clanmates run like the wind and tunnel deep into the earth.]

[You aren't positive of your own skills as the leader, and though your clanmates trust you deeply, you tend to be a bit insecure of your own ability. On top of it, you're extremely paranoid. But that isn't your fault... it's only like that because of your innate sense of the ghosts that wander these plains.]

[As you walk through the camp, you come across the sight of two cats trying their best to ignore a noisy kit.]

[Giving MILKWEEDKIT a small smile, you turn your attention to the two cats who are trying to hide their obvious annoyance of the small cat.]

SLATEBURN: Oh... hey, Mistlestar! How are you doing today?

[That cat is SLATEBURN, your deputy. He's always been a good speaker and a natural storyteller. His intuition is hard to match, and the two of you are good friends.]

EMBERSPOT: Milkweedkit has a story today. Care to sit in on it?

[EMBERSPOT is one of the warriors in the clan. He's a little bit of trouble, if you're honest.]

MISTLESTAR: Oh, uh... no, no thank you. Sorry, I... have somewhere to be.

[You rush past the two cats and continue on your way. Milkweedkit's stories can go on forever, and you still have patrols to welcome back.]

[When you continue on, you run into two more warriors returning from a patrol, clearly halting their gossip to address you.]

FAWNHOWL: Hey, Mistlestar. How goes it? Easy hunting today! Hah! Not that I had any doubt!

[FAWNHOWL is a confident sort, but she definitely has the skill to back it up.]

FLIPSWAN: Fawnhowl did well. She always does. I expect nothing less of her.

[FLIPSWAN is Fawnhowl's mate, and she's always taking care of things around the camp. She SEEMS really nice, but there's... something off about her.]

[After exchanging some pleasantries, you're off on your way once again.]

[You find one of the warriors sharing some ideas with the apprentices.]

MOTTLEDSPECK: - so as you can see, it's really important not to try and tear off at your full speed until you're sure of the direction you're headed.

[MOTTLEDSPECK is a quick-runner, and he's certain one day he'll be the fastest cat in all the world.]

[The apprentices are... vaguely listening. Their names are SLIGHTPAW and WISTERIAPAW. The two of them share a heightened sense of justice, and a desire to grow into a member of your clan's important history.]

[There's only one last cat you want to check on before you go about your business, so you head to the medicine den.]

BRIARSWAN: Oh, Mistlestar! How nice it is to see you out and about. How are you doing? How's the er... ghost problem?

[BRIARSWAN is not only a phenomenal medicine cat, but he's also the kindest cat you've ever known.]

[The question makes you pause. Briarswan is the only cat who knows of your visions of ghosts along the plains.]

MISTLESTAR: Nothing too bad today. Maybe it was just nerves after all.

BRIARSWAN: Whatever the case, you know I'm always here for you.

[What a lovely clan you have. You feel pride swell in your chest. This is YOUR clan. You hope you can do them proud.]

INTRO END.
