Here on Classic we understand that sometimes life can get difficult and we struggle. We may need to receive advice, vent, know that we are not alone in our difficult times, or even just have someone listen to what's going on in our lives. In light of these times, we have created the support threads below that are open to all of our members at any time.
Everyone related to Glowstar and Sean are here. This rp is totally optional, if you're not into your cat being a part of this they totally don't have to. The cats below are the ones that can participate in this rp, of course don't feel obligated to rp all of them if you have a lot! ^-^
**Glowstar and Sean's family are referred to as Eerie's, it's essentially their last name
Glowstar's side of the family/ Left Cage:
Honeystorm: Pandora, Florianmischief, Senescence, Ahava Vairocana, Fia, Lorien, Mangledkit
With each passing night an Eerie went missing. It started with a few, but no one thought much of it, nor did it feel like a targeted attack. By the time entire litters and families were vanishing panic hit an all time high. At that point it was too late and most of the Eerie's were picked off. The Eerie's that were taken carried no recollection of how they were caught nor when. The last thing most could remember were hours before whatever happened took place. It was clear there were parts of their recent memory that was missing in connection to how they got here.
When they awoke they found themselves locked up in a small, freezing two-leg warehouse on the docks of an ocean. The only way they had any knowledge of it was the scent of salt water and the ocean waves. The walls and flooring were made up of concrete, holding in the cold. Every sound that was made had an echo, which made it easy for anyone guarding to hear even the smallest whisper. There were two identical cages made up of a chain linked fence that sealed them in from top to bottom. The left cage contained Glowstar's side of the family and the right side contained Sean's side of the family.
Leucisticcrow stood up, shaking out his black fur. He was a massive tom, one of the strongest warriors in DayClan, which made it all the more incredible that he was caught at all. His family had been disappearing and he was among the latest ones to show up in the large cage. Everything about the place looked two-leg designed, which only made him feel a rogue was behind this. It didn't take him long to be able to tell that there the two sides of the family were literally divided, "Senescence?" He called out cautiously, wondering if she was there.
Kotori and Duskslayer sat in the right cage, both on opposite ends staring one another down cautiously. Kotori had been there from the start before anyone else got there, which was made clearer by his unkempt spiky fur. But more notably Kotori had was a serial killer who murdered his family members so it was safe to say that some family members chose to stay away from him.

(Right Cage) Mirza was enjoying his time away from, well, everything. The tom lived in the League before and briefly in the Regime, but he never found a home, so he had been living as a rogue in the city for the past six moons. Or year. The days blurred together as did the seasons, until someone knocked him out in his den. The harsh lighting blinded the white bengal's fluorescent blue eyes. He grunted a blinked them in an effort to adjust, and what he saw surprised him. He recognized Senescence in the other cage, but none of the others. He looked around in his own, and saw Kotori, his father, and Duskslayer staring each other down. The wiry tom rose to his paws and stepped between his father and Duskslayer, and he stared Duskslayer down as well. "Is there a problem, kitty?" (Left Cage) Soullesskit was in a much different situation. She had barely been outside of the camp before, and now she was locked away with all these weirdos. The kitten silver and grey tabby's eyes darted from cat to cat, looking for someone she knew. Not that it would be a solace, anyway. Everyone saw her a monster.

LEFT CAGE-> In the left cage, Dirtykit sat by herself. Her long coat was coated in mud and grime, sticks and leaves sticking out from the tangles. Her eyes were wide with terror, having pushed herself back into the farthest corner trembling. Even though her siblings had been brought here to, it brought her very little comfort. Was this some sort of punishment because she was a demon? She had tried to be good and follow Wintrystar's commands, she really had. She rolled around in the dirt every day to hide her markings, worked hard to listen to the other WinterClan members and serve them well.
RIGHT CAGE-> Darkkit wrapped his tail over his his sister's back, pulling her close. His piercing gaze daring anyone but their father and siblings to get any closer

(Left Cage)
For as depressing as it was, this was one of the first times Romulus had gotten to see Lorelei in ages. He must have came later, as his mom had become much more disheveled over her time in the cage. But he stuck to her like glue, silently begging that he wouldn't have to leave her side again. "And then I ended up in Sunclan. And that lady that brought me there became my mentor! Can you believe that??"
"You've had quite the adventure, huh?" Lorelei purred, a little more excited than she should have been at hearing about her son's torment. But then, she never really got the queue to be somber. "Don't worry. Soon as we get out of here, I'll come to Sunclan and knock some sense into her."
Tundrakit repeated the words his mom had told him. Be brave. Be brave. But it was so hard. He was so nervous, he shrunk himself smaller and smaller next to Soullesskit.
(Right Cage)
Duskslayer was the last cat Huntleigh wanted to see. As soon as he was starting to get over Dusk leaving him, he had the gall to show up again. Thankfully, he was small and dark enough to hide in one of the corners.

LEFT CAGE Contrary to first glance, Senescence wasn't actually there. Though they had the same lacy lines and russet fur, when she unfurled, though she was in the cage that indicated Glowstar's kin, she was hardly the Proxy. Her fur was long, with far more white to her legs and underbelly, and no scars in sight, well, save for a large burn scar over her left eye, rendering one of her two void black eyes blind. Most here would probably know Ahava Vairocana as NightClan's medicine cat... not so many would know her relations to the family. Well, Lorelei, Senescence, Alvah, and Fia did. But, as far as she was aware, Senescence and Fia at the very least hadn't said anything, she didn't know about the others. Certainly, she hadn't told Kotori or Flamingstar about the familial relation, but seeing him threw the idea of keeping that a secret out the window. She saw Lorelei there, a thought both comforting, and deeply unsettling. The sense of unease, both at being in a cage, and seeing her daughter in one, crept up her spine, and her ears flicked back, drowning out phantom screams and placing a paw over her face at the feel of imaginary flames. No fires here.
Pandora pushed herself to her paws, glancing around with a frown. Generally, she didn't leave DayClan territory, and considering her abilities.... it was a worrying prospect that she was here. That didn't stop her from trying to pull on her power instinctually.. only to find it didn't work. Foxdung.
RIGHT CAGE Blue was going to be so worried. That was pretty much Miracle's thought process. Her next though, was 'this would be a great time to get rid of Kotori', well, maybe not so coherent. Her honey gaze zeroed in on him in the cage, and a grow rumbled low in her throat that for a long moment she almost didn't notice Zakiyyah shifting closer to Kotori, glaring right back at the ex-Chaman, and then Mirza stepping in front of the tom. "Didn't know you needed bodyguards, Kotori." The kind she-cat commented, her tone unusually venomous.
Bravekit... well, he wouldn't necessarily have been hard to get here. It's not like he could fight back. The sickly tom was shivering, tucking himself in close to Dusky, but it wouldn't stop. "Where are we?"
Casimir Muda (Planepaw) || Apprentice of SunClan Planepaw was doing his best to literally not be there at all. He hadn't been raised by Eeries, didn't like the chaos that followed them around, didn't want to have anything to do with it. Sighing, he shoved his face between the rails, trying to distance himself from the crowd. If this was the way his life ended then so be it. Twolegs took cats away forever all of the time. He just wished that he could have done things like fall in love... or even have a friend... before it was over.
Sinfulkit || Kit of WinterClan "I don't understand why they are all freaking out about this..," Sinfulkit, for her credit, looked perfectly calm surrounded by all these strangers. She didn't know what an Eerie was and thus had no idea that she was surrounded by family. Cats who knew Bluejay, however, would recognize her right away, as Sinfulkit strongly resembled the blue-black she-cat, from her fluffy pelt to her white ruin markings.
"Once I'm free I'm going to the Renegade Regime, will you show me the way?" She asked the first cat who met her eyes which just so happened to be her aunt Pandora, "I heard that they have whole rooms made of crystals. I'll go there and get myself a scenic crystal so beautiful and pure that Wintrystar will cry next time she sees me!" Honeystorm
Yuccablossom || Immortal Council Member of DayClan "You're suck in a strange place and the first cat you asked for is Wanderingwight? I'm hurt." Yuccablossom did her best to sound pouty her voice was too weak to be convincing. She nuzzled Leucisticcrow and purred loud enough that the cats in the right cage surely would have heard her. Yuccablossom always purred when she was nervous, or maybe she was just always purring, no one had quite figured it out yet, "Don't worry, dad, I'm sure everything will be okay. If whoever captured us really wanted us dead they would have done it by now!" Faith
RIGHT CAGE
Allaria (Soaringkit) || Kit of SunClan "Pawpaw Sean!" Allaria screeched, flinging herself at her grandfather with all the joy and energy that a kit her age could muster. Even though it had only been a couple of moons since she had left the Renegade Regime with her family, she had grown so much and was clearly taking after Shule. While her fur was a marbled charcoal rather her grandmother's ebony, curly where the Commander's was sleek, her white paws and dragon blue eyes sealed the deal if her Apha-type personality did not, "Why haven't you come to visit us?! SunClan is SO boring without you and Mawmaw Shule! Why isn't she here?" Faith
Havilah || Sentinel of the Renegade Regime Always the serious type, Havilah had a look of dread on his face. When he was young his family had been his pride but as of late the high standards of what it meant to be an Eerie had clearly fallen. He could even make out a kit over in the left cage that was covered in dirt from head to toe and worse yet didn't seem to have a problem with it. Glancing back at his own cage, he saw Huntleigh trying to disappear in a corner, and pursed his lips.
"Huntleigh-tyke, get out of there," He ordered, his forest green eyes burning into the tom kit's form, "You're almost a Cadet. Stand proud and strong and make the Regime proud to call you one of ours." strawberrycupid
Duskslayer looked at Mirza, but his ears flattened seeing Zakiyyah approach. Kotori had murdered his half siblings he never met, but he had also convinced Lucistic to kidnap him before while Zakiyyah stood watch. He didn't trust anyone from that side of the family, but he didn't comment either. Instead he looked at Havilah, "He has the right idea, making himself small and unnoticeable to keep himself hidden from danger. Until we understand what's going on playing safe is better than standing strong to an uncertain strength."
Duskslayer licked the top of Bravekit's head, push him deep into his fur to keep him warm, "I don't know," He said as he leaned forward, picking Allariakit up by the scruff and dragging her playfully over into his paws as he ruffled her fur, "You're getting too big for me to pick you up anymore," He smirked, "Darkkit and Faithkit and Huntleigh-tyke, how about each of you come over here to get a little more warmth in your system, a quick recharge. We can all say a family prayer together."
Kotori stared back at Miracle, but his gaze wavered last second, it wasn't ironclad like Shule's. "You can stay on your side of the cage, Miracle. It looks super inviting with that guy," He said gesturing to Havilah. Possibly not even recognizing him as a member of their family. A member of his family who's parents his daughter murdered.
LEFT CAGE
"Yucca," Leucisticcrow said, placing his paw over his daughters shoulder, "Listen to me. Very. Carefully. We are going to get these kits out of here as fast as possible because I am not being caged with them. I need you to think of the children and move them far, squeeze them through the chains, teach them to dig through concrete, learn how to teleport. Anything that pushes them farther away from me."
Howlingnight held Rottenkit in his scruff, but felt overwhelmed by all of Bluejay's kits. Plus seeing Pandora there he knew he should feel more fear than he was. He needed to assemble a meeting fast. Picking up each of Bluejay's kits he put down Rottenkit, Sinfulkit, Soullesskit, and Dirtykit before looking around and finding Tundrakit, placing him down in front of him. "Listen up, for as long as we're here you're going by different names, Rotten, you're um... Luckykit. Sinfulkit, you're Pikakit. Soullesskit, you're Melodykit. Dirtykit, you're Violetkit. And Tundra you're fine. Capeesh?"
Havilah's ears pinned back, annoyed that Duskslayer had said anything at all, much less that he had corrected him. He hated everything about Duskslayer. It didn't matter that they were kin or that everyone else seemed to like him. Any cat with so many torn loyalties was a threat and, after agreeing to be the tyrant Bloodystar's deputy, he had totally given up on trying to have a relationship with him, although some would argue that he never made an attempt in the first place.
"You can be a sheep like you father, who goes with the flow and does everything he's told," Havilah addressed Hunteligh-tyke, tuning out Duskslayer entirely, "Or you can be a wolf who is loyal to his own heart first and is the one giving the commands. The world needs both, but sheep cannot lead sheep, and wolves don’t hide when the going gets tough. They are the ones who find a way out of it.”

RIGHT CAGE MIRACLE She glanced at Havilah and chuckled, though she hardly had the chance to say the tom's relations, as far as they were known, before a small she-cat burst forth.
EMIKO She had pretty much needed to run from the Regime after going all serial killer on them... but she'd also raised Havilah, and seeing Kotori point to him, the small she-cat who had otherwise been all but invisible let out an audible squeal and raced forward, out from behind Kotori, with a grin. No one knew she'd been the one to destroy Havilah's family in the first place, they just knew she'd taken them in as her own. Well, most did. "HAVILAH! YOU'VE GOTTEN SO BIG, LOOK AT YOU!" A sandy bengal streak raced up to him, baby blue eyes peering up at him with a bright smile. Jadie
BRAVEKIT He didn't hesitate to take the warmth he could get, shivering into Duskslayer's fur as warmth seemed to leech all too slowly into his body. He hadn't had his medicine, and though he'd been getting better, this was bound to set him right back to square one.
LEFT CAGE AHAVA VAIROCANA Luckily, no one seemed to pay her much mind, and truly, she was okay with that. Though as a Medicine Cat, one could suppose she should be checking everyone for injuries. But at least at a first glance, most seemed fine, though her eyes did zero in on the kits Alvah was herding, head tilting slightly in curiosity.
PANDORA She stiffened at seeing Sinfultkit. Not because of the cat being a kit or anything, but because of mention of Wintrystar, and then Howlingnight herding them. The auburn and cinnamon swirled feline wasn't stupid. WinterClan kits. Howlingnight was keeping them close, and as far as she was aware, Wintrystar hadn't had any kits. Which meant only one thing, and she stepped towards him, expression harsh. "These are Bluejay's kits." Pandora stated bluntly, nearing as he finished speaking something to the kits. Faith
Post by strawberrycupid on Sept 24, 2020 13:47:00 GMT -5
LEFT CAGE TUNDRAKIT He was the smallest, and looked the worse for wear. With some of his white fur shredded off his tail and a purple bruise showing just above one of his eyes. They kept giving him some other name, some awful name. But who was Dottymask to even give him that? It was sick, he was definitely Tundrakit. While not the most rebellious, he gave Howling a disgusted look as he pulled all of them together. What was he planning? Why give them nice names now? It didn't make sense until another cat spoke up, saying a name not many dared to say these days. Tundrakit spun on his heels, now facing Pandora with wide eyes. It was the first bud of hope he'd seen spring from the ground as of late. So he couldn't stop himself from speaking, "You know Mama?" HoneystormFaith
LORELEI MANINA If Lorelei had realized her mother was there, she didn't say anything. Extremely odd for the normally outspoken she-cat. Not that she could really move with Romulus sticking to her like glue. She could barely see Casimir past the other cats. How she could tell them apart when no one else could was a mystery. "Casimir, what are you doing?" She called out in a sing-song voice Jadie
RIGHT CAGE HUNTLEIGH-TYKE He had avoided most cat's gazes. It was good, but it also made his skin crawl. Huntleigh just really wanted to avoid Duskslayer and his siblings. There was no sweet in this bitter reunion. So now getting called out by Havilah of all cats made his temper flare. It had only gotten worse after they left. So he swung himself around to say something when Duskslayer spoke up. And that only made his blood boil more. Family prayer? He really had fallen for this nonsense, left for that nonsense, left HIM for that nonsense.
He had almost entirely tuned Havilah out, something about sheep and wolves. There was no way, no way in hell, that Huntleigh was gonna be a sheep like his dad. So, somewhat begrudgingly, he stood up and slipped out of the corner. Barely batting an eye as Emiko approached them. "Fine. I'll look on the other side of the cage." Huntleigh remarked darkly before setting off, not letting himself even look at them.
The harsh fluorescent lighting flicked off momentarily before flicking back on, this happened a few times as the lights buzzed, decaying of light every few seconds. There was a large hum before the lights flicked back on again. The earth almost seemed to move as the sudden appearance of a cat stood between both sides of the chain linked fence cages.
He was no one anyone recognized, tall, brown fur, handsome green eyes. He could have been another face in the crowd.
"I thought it would only be right to make an appearance, maybe do a monologue, the whole shabang, but I hear you're a snarky crew so I'll keep this concise and interesting. A few of you locked up in there hired me to off all of you with only some spared, of course. Wanted to hide in plain sight and all that, I think that's cowardly though, this makes things more interesting, a guess who. Now personally, I don't plan on killing too many of you so much as selling you off so if anyone comes down here they're just looky-loo's. Also I'll bring down food soon." His gaze flicked away for a moment before looking back at them.
"Trying to see if I can fit through this hole without strangling myself first," Casimir replied without even glancing at Lorelei. He was happy to see her after so long, truly, but he was not exactly attached to her like he was Vulcan. He harbored no ill will toward his mother but she was mostly a stranger that he shared blood with, ya know? Literally everyone around him fell into that same category, "Give me a push?" strawberrycupid
"What gives? I was talking to that nice she-cat!" Sinfulkit pointed at Pandora, his odd eyes blazing in determination to get back to her, although her body was fighting against her as Howlingnight had her properly scruffed. In seconds she had mostly calmed down with the only outward sign of any irritation was a flickering tail-tip. With nothing better to do, she listened to her captor's deal, and a grin spread across her face for two reasons. One: She was finally getting a real name. Two: Howlingnight seemed stressed out about something, which meant she'd found a weakness, she just hadn't put two and two together yet, "I'll let you---"
But before she could begin her own attempt at bargaining, Pandora appeared once more and she fell silent. How did this she-cat know that their mother was Bluejay?! FaithHoneystorm
At first Yuccablossom's eyes shined bright with happiness, in fact she may have teared up a little bit, as she witnessed her father, for the first time since she'd known him, put kits first. But then he continued to talk about why he wanted to get them out of here and the best way to describe the look on Yucca's face after that was disappointed. It's okay, he'll get there, someday! She tried to remind herself.
"I already tried shrinking down to fit through the bars and it doesn't work. I don't think Elements can..." but then the lights flickered and her short attention span was drawn elsewhere, settling on the myst-eerie-ous tom that was currently monologuing. Very familiar, couldn't place him in this low light though, "How about instead you just let us out? No hard feelings or anything, you aren't an Eerie if you haven't been kidnapped once or twice, we know the drill. I just don't see this ending well for you if you go through with those diabolical plans of yours." She wasn't threatening him, more so just being realistic. She wouldn't be able to hold back a flood of Eeries should they get the opportunity to strike. Faith
Leucisticcrow looked exasperated as he pinched the bridge of his nose, "Kotori, if this is you, I swear."
Kotori from the right side of the cage narrowed his eyes, "I swear it wasn't me! If I wanted to kill everyone obviously my dad would be here, he's the one I want dead the most."
"Okay, well it's not stretching things too much if I also think it might be one of your kits. They're not exactly family friendly like the rest of us," Leucisticcrow argued.
Howlingnight was relieved when their captor showed himself, a distraction at the very least. Still, he looked at Pandora for a long moment, thinking carefully of what to say to her before deciding there would be plenty of time for that later. Whatever this guy wanted with them was more important, he would give his life for his siblings any day and didn't want either of them to be sold off to someone or killed.
Rottenkit looked at Pandora warily before whispering to Sinfulkit, "Don't trust her, Howl is family and look how he treats us."
RIGHT CAGE
Kotori was hissing at Leucisticcrow, "If you're referring to Mirza you better shut it, my son hasn't bothered any family member that didn't have it coming."
He turned to look at their captor outside of the cage, "Yucca has a point though, because she has more of her moms side than her DADS. Maybe we can make some kind of deal with you. Like... If we can all agree together and take a guess at who the traitor is you'll let us out?"
OUTSIDE THE CAGE
"A game?" Their captor asked with interest, "How about you get two guesses that majority of you have to agree together. If you're right, you're free and can deal with that person as you like, but if you guess wrong I'll drown them. Or you can just hangout there and we don't make any deal and nothing changes, up to all of you I guess."
The endless chatter of his denmates roused the drowsy tom from his slumber. His head flopped back and Carnage stared blankly ahead, strangely calm even as it became more and more evident that he was not in SunClan anymore, or even SwiftClan. There were too many unfamiliar cats around and everything was strange and crowded. He pushed himself slowly to his paws, looking around for the distinctive pelts of his family, and to his relief, they were nearby. Carnage raced after Casimir and Romulus. "Where are we and are you stuck?" he wondered immediately, eyeing the gap his brother was currently stuck in. His ear flicked up suddenly as he recognized the cat beside them. "Mom?"
If everyone would just shut up for a few minutes, maybe he could go back to sleep. Under glared at his family through slitted eyes, showing little interest in the newcomer's speech. A cat wanted to kill Eeries? And it was one of his family members? Wow, that was brand new and very creative. Fascinating. Tucking his muzzle beneath his tail in a vain attempt to block out the light, Under grumbled, "wake me when you catch the killer."

Dirtykit looked terrefied as she was picked up and placed with her siblings, pressing herself to the ground trying to disappear in the little wall of fur that surrounded her.
Hakoda stayed closed to his father's paws, his fur brushing up against his but not fulling leaning into his father's warmth. Instead his eyes were on his brother who seemed to be completly hostile towards them "Huntleigh..." he looked up at their father, before walking over to his brother's side trying to figure out why he was so angry@teardropsrevolution

LEFT CAGE Pandora narrowed her eyes at Howling, before looking at Sinfulkit with a gentle smile as she crouched down to the other's level. "I am Bluejay's sister, we share a mother in Glowstar. Your mother and I grew up together. I had hoped I would get to meet you before now. My name is Pandora. What's yours?" There was nothing malicious or degrading in her attitude towards the kit, she came off as genuine as was possible, blatantly ignoring the cat outside the cage for the moment. She could kill Howlingnight and get out of here shortly.
RIGHT CAGE Zakiyyah snorted at the cat outside the cage. "Who says it's one of us in here anyway? There's plenty of Eeries missing." She commented, not particularly directed at anyone, though her gaze drifted to the mysterious tom. "Or that you wouldn't just lie to us about the results."
Right Cage "Can we vote Duskslayer out of the cage, the stench of SunClan is making my eyes burn," Cinnamonsavage grumbled, shooting his brother a look. He didn't pay as much mind as he probably should to their captor.
As far as he was concerned this was a temporary and unfortunate setback. The eerie family was renowned, there was no way they'd actually be stuck here forever. It was preposterous.
Left Cage "I wanna go home," Hollowkit mumbled shuffling uncomfortably on the surface of the cage.
Post by Honeystorm on Sept 26, 2020 22:55:22 GMT -5
RIGHT CAGE "We're not voting dad!" Bravekit countered, his voice chattering as he turned his head to glare at Cinnamonsavage as best he could. "Why would he want to hurt me anyway?" His voice was soft at that last part. Of course his father wouldn't hurt him, and he hated the insinuation that Dusky would ever consider it.
Post by stardance on Sept 26, 2020 23:13:01 GMT -5
Left Cage Soullesskit smiled. Wow! She really liked that name. Melodykit. It was so pretty! She could be Melodywhisper, Melodyrose, or so many other names! Her real name did have anything like that, so the she-kit vigorously nodded her head. "On one condition, I can keep that name---" She trailed off when she saw Pandora approach. Who was that she-cat? Soullesskit was suspicious until Pandora said that she knew her mother. She shouldered her way to the front of her siblings to be near Pandora. "Oohhhh! So nice to meet you! I was Soullesskit, but this guy right here says I'm Melodykit now!" She said, pointing her tail at Howlingnight.
Mirza ignored the other cats and turned back to look at his father. His face was unreadable, as one would expect from a sociopath. "Long time no see, hmm? I haven't seen you since right after the Shadow Era." He tilted his head to the side. "Quite rude to abandon your family."
