#bushberry

Icelake - A calm and confident cat. Icelake often keeps a cool head in times of crisis, and will often take control with a quiet authority. They are very sure of themselves and not much can catch them off guard, 15/10

Bushberry - A friendly and relaxed cat. Bushberry will often be found dozing and sunning themselves around camp when they are off duty, when needed they will be up at a moments notice, always ready to help out. They don’t tend to let clan tensions get to them and will always try and diffuse a tense situation as best they can, 14/10

Twistedflame - An energetic and courageous cat. Twistedflame is well known for their bravery, throwing themselves into danger as soon as they know a cat is in trouble. In times of peace they will often be found doing extra training, mainly as a way of working off their energy into something productive, 15/10

Bigstar - A strong and kind cat. Bigstar is strong enough to knock a cat out with a single blow, but they would never dream of applying their strength that way unless needed, often preferring to use it in rescue missions or camp rebuilding. Bigstar likes to take the time to get to be amongst their clanmates and get to know them all personally, to the extent where they consider most of their clanmates their friends in addition to the cats they look after, 14/10

I received this plant of harmless-enough appearance as a welcome gift from Protostar when I took their damnable tour.  I have been trying to place it in my state-provided housing and I have come believe it is cursed.

I have tried it near the door.

I have tried it behind the bar.

I have tried it by the couch.

I have tried it in the kitchen.

I have tried it in the stairwell.

Nowhere does it fit.  Nowhere does it feel appropriate.  Nowhere is the feng shui of its placement comforting and satisfying.  The thing weighs as much as three granok and is unwieldy and unstable.  Even with my catlike grace and reflexes I lost my grip upon the vase while situating it on the stairs and upon ending its violent descent the monstrous piece of decor broke a chair, upturned a table and shattered three glasses.

This is why I am forever content to reside at my sister's dwelling.  I am not meant to be a home decorator, and to do battle with house plants.

And this hateful shrub is good for but one purpose.
