(Night or evening, nearly dark or totally dark out) Splash notices a crowd gathered around Kira and goes to see what’s going on. Splash walks over to the group. “Can I.. sit here?” He asks gently. Two kits smile warmly and nod, moving aside for Splash to sit between them, which he awkwardly does, muttering a quiet ‘thanks’ before adjusting his tail and turning back to look at Kira with an eager expression. Kira has a small fire lit in her paw which is extended out towards the center of the crowd, illuminating their faces Kira grins, a michevious glimmer in her eyes as she greets Splash. “Hey, kid. We were just about to tell a story.” Splash nods, smiling a little. He’s clearly excited. Kira grins a little more, looking down and scanning the crowd. “Everyone ready?” The crowd of kits nod, with a few quiet ‘yeahs’ or giggles sounding around. Kira’s eyes glimmer as she extinguishes the fire, just leaving her Blue eyes shining against the dark atmosphere of the camp. Kira waits for a moment as the kits settle down before surrounding the crowd with a small, faint glowing fire. “It was… a very nice day. Okay- a little bit cloudy. But a fairly nice day. And I was living with the king of the world.” *flashback moments lol* “I was out, walking. As one does… when I felt a cold chill go down my back.” Scenes of Kira walking outside in a savanna type landscape play when her ears fold back and she looks behind her. “I had felt that chill before, and I knew it could only mean one thing…” Several kits chime in. “Blizzard?” “Your mortal enemy?” “No, Stupid, Her mortal enemy would just be Flash!!” “Was it snowing?” The camera moves back to Kira who gives an amused smile as she lights a fire under her face. “Sol.” The kits all froze, some tensing up and others listening with wide eyes. *flashback moment again yayayaay* “I looked around me, spinning in circles.. waiting for him to JUMP out of the shadows. I knew I didn’t have long to prepare.” Kira paused, the glimmer in her eye fading for a moment as she hesitated, remembering a certain detail that she decided…. Would be better to leave out. She shook her head a little and continued with the story. “I sat there… and waited, shivering because it was so cold… and then…” The kits all stare at Kira, waiting intently for the next part of her story “Suddenly, I felt cold paws SLAM into my back, shoving me to the ground!” Kira exclaimed. Several of the kits yelped, some jumped, and a few of them let out quiet giggles. *flashback moments again* “I kicked him off as hard as I could and jumped to my feet, but when I looked around… he was nowhere to be seen.” “Now, I was scared. I could feel my fur standing as I tried to catch just a glimpse of him, but… nothing. Just a cold chill running down my back.” “I sat there… waiting… waiting… waiting.. wai-“ One of the kits looked up. “Well, what happened?? Get on with it!” He snapped, allowing the rest of the crowd to erupt into a flurry of nervous giggles. Kira snorted. “Fine, fine. You guys are a bunch of brats.” She teased. More giggles flooded around from the crowd before the quickly died down as Kira continued. “Just as I was about to leave and report what had happened to Flame, I heard a horrible.. terrible, absolutely… just…. Ugly laugh start quietly before me. And then it got louder… louder.. until soon, it was BOOMING so loudly I couldn’t think!” She exclaimed dramatically, snatching the fire away to leave them in darkness. The kits all froze, waiting in amazed horror to hear what happened next. “The laughing didn’t sound like it was coming from one place, it was coming from EVERYWHERE. I had to just sit there as I waited… waited till he KILLED me.” One of the kits yelped. “And then… my face hit the dirt, without warning. I didn’t even feel paws down my back or anything, I just FELL.” “And THEN just to be a jerk, I’m sure, he RUBBED. MY. FACE. IN. THE. DIRT!!” She snarled. Fire swirled around Kira’s paws “So I was really ticked off, and if I could have I would’ve torn him LIMB. FROM. LIMB. And I tried too- but he’s basically a ghost so it didn’t really work out-“ She frowned, her expression turning more of a grim one, “so THEN he dragged his claws down my side and BLOOD began pouring out and-“ Neptune, who had been watching for the last couple minutes, came over with a very concerned expression. +
+“Kira? I- think that may be a little graphic…” Kira looked down at her crowd and met some very scared faces. “Sorry- heh..” One of the kits stepped out of the crowd, grinning. “VIOLENCE!!” He screams The crowd starts laughing again. Kira turns to Neptune and grins “see? They can handle it.” Neptune groans. He looks like he’s going to be sick. “Wait till you have to deal with crying kits having nightmares tonight…” he mutters The camera starts to zoom out and Kira and Neptune’s talking becomes more distant “Whaaat? They’ll be fine! Most of them have been through it themselves.” “I’m still not sure…” “I wouldn’t worry” “I would” “You always worry!” “I know but…” “Yeah yeah.” Their voices are too distant to hear. But just behind a bush, watching the whole thing go down, was sol. Smiling. I got a funny idea for a SF short and I’ve been wanting to animate something like this for a while, so here’s the script! If anyone thinks they can fit one of these roles that is not taken please LMK. It would be a huge help :D The short will be on YT so you’ll have to be comfortable with that. You’ll receive proper credit though! (Unless you want to remain anonymous) If you’re willing to va just lmk in the comments and we can talk about it :D I’m being Kira heheheh
