what's next?

[Ten]

Patchfur still needs to show up with Darkfur and Woodstripe, right? Where do I need to post next? Thoughts on abandoning old threads and starting new ones?

Unresolved issues and next steps in the plot include:
-- Hailpaw joining the experiment
-- Rainstripe therapy
-- Dottedfoot's leverage over Shortwhisker

What am I forgetting here?

-Sleetstream joining the Experiment.

And possibly Short/Grimy meeting their...children. I was tempted to type "small cute things that need to be as far away from them as possible."

[Ten]

Right right. You want to have a Hail seek out Spiderstripe?

[Cloud]

That sounds reasonable. o3o

But, there is all the tangled stream drama to deal with...and Pebbletail will fight to keep Hail away from any Experiment cats. xD this could get interesting.

[Ten]

But Pebble is yours, right? hm... /remembers. So we need Dingypaw (Ducky) and maybe Bronzefoot (Gosh) to push for her joining. Gosh has been on lately, but I think Ducky's busy, so I guess it's Bronze who goes next?

[Cloud]

Yessss. o3o

That sounds reasonable. I apologize for being gone so much. Not only does school suck up a lot of time, but FoF is reviving and so much is happening that I need to keep up. But I will not abandon you all.

[Gosh]

Yeah, I feel really guilty about being gone a lot too. I'll post as Bronzeytoes within the next few days (although probably not tomorrow).

[Ten]

Thanks guys.

[Cloud]

I will post as Darkfur this week some time. -swears upon on her utter ridiculousness-

[Cloud]

Whee! I posted as Darkfur!

Also, this is your Starless report from Cloudie, special news bat.

ACTIVE THREADS:

Ties, Guns, and One Wacked-Up Businessman (OPEN)
The Search For...[Spiderstripe] (OPEN)
Hailpaw's kits (OPEN, BUT TRYING TO BE RESOLVED/SPLIT INTO DIFFERENT THREADS

That's it really. Thistle or someone else needs to reply on Ties, Ducky needs to reply on Search, and Gosh needs to reply on Hailpaw's kits.

Speaking of that 9-page thread, let's sort out the various cats and their motives who are there:

Hailpaw - wants to join the Experiment for now, but could be persuaded otherwise if the benefits are good enough. Has a grudge against Grimykit and a faint longing for Shortwhisker.

Bronzefoot - wants to talk Stonekit and probably the rest of his family out of joining the Experiment, as he is a spy. However, this is made difficult due to the fact that Dingypaw the staunch Experiment supporter is right next to him and will tell on him if he does suspicious things.

Dingypaw - wants Hailpaw and Kits to join the Experiment.

Pebbletail - with the help of the Experiment spies (although she doesn't know who they are, let alone that Bronzefoot is one) she wishes to at the very least discredit the Clanners and stop Hailpaw and her kits from joining, and with luck also disgrace the 'enemy.'

Drabheart - mostly ignorant of what's going in the mainstream because he's focused on his two best friends and their dilemma, but his attention was recently snapped back to the situation when Pebbletail asked him for information. He has no opinion on Hailpaw and her kits so far, though he'll probably be conflicted over their fate, not wanting them to join the Experiment but wanting them to have a better life.

Frozenheart - also caught up in Rainstripe's and now somewhat also his, dilemma. I have no idea what he'll think if he becomes enlightened to the situation.

Rainstripe - crazy. Who in heck knows what she's thinking. But we love her anyway.

That's everyone, I think. Well, and the kits. But they don't really get what's going on, so. x3

So basically there's three groups: Hailpaw and those concerned over her fate, the kits, and Rainstripe and Co.

What they're going to do, I haven't a clue.
