Mischief! ((OPEN!))

[Deleted]

Tumble's tail curled behind him and and he growled playfully " Bring on teazer" he said playfully while he got in playing stance.His paws on the floor and his tail hovering above the floor.

[eliaza]

"Heh heh, yew asked fer it!" Rumpelteazer first tossed her pillowcase onto the other side of the Tire. She didn't want to trod all over it and destroy the treasures she'd just found! Then she turned and faced Tumble, making an exaggerated "battle-stance." Screeching loudly, she ran at Tumble, paws extended (claws in, of course - Jelly and Jenny would freak if they found blood all over the floor!). She didn't expect him to just stand there and take it, of course. She watched closely as she ran at him, prepared for any defense he might put up.

((someone might lose an eye XD))

Tumble stood there and relaxed himself.He let her tackle him and fell,used to taking the first hit and then pawed her face softly while moving his body she would be flipped over.He softly nipped her ear and blocked any paws she tried to hit him in the face with,even though he got hit anyway.

[eliaza]

Rumpelteazer made a small "oof" sound as she flipped over and hit the floor. "Arrr, you'll pay fer that'un!" she declared. Instead of standing up immediately, she rolled over and grabbed Tumble's feet, hoping to make him fall.

[Deleted]

Tumble went to run but his paws were grabbed and he fell with a soft thud.He frowned and looked back at her "So it's that way huh?" he asked playfully and began to wave his feet trying to make her let go, all the while swaying his tail.

[eliaza]

Teazer hung on to his feet, getting jerked and jostled around as he waved his feet, trying to figure out her next move. Finally she let go and jumped to her feet. She tried to pin him to the floor, hoping she could catch him by surprise before he had a chance to stand up...

((you can decide if he gets pinned or reacts before she has a chance to pin him ^^))

[Deleted]

Tumble finally got her off and him and went to stand up but the crazy lil queen pinned him down before he could properly regain himself.He looked at teazer while he was pinned and nipped at her ear tugging on it in a playful manner.

[eliaza]

Teazer faked a fierce snarl and swatted at his face, probably making it a lot easier for him to get up since she was no longer focused on keeping him pinned.

[Deleted]

Tumble moved his face as he was swatted at and pushed his paw against her face moving her head fur in the opposite direction.He let out a mew and rolled his body trying to escape teazer's wrath.

[ADMIN NOTE: Just to let you guys know. One or two sentence posts once in a while is expected and okay. Life gets busy, muse dies down, there are tons of reasons. However, please don't make a habit of it. Dig down for just a couple extra sentences, please.]

[eliaza]

Teazer let out some form of muffled sound as he pushed against her face. "Eep!" she cried as he rolled in one direction and she rolled the other. Quickly, she leaped to her feet and ran at him again. "Prepare ta face the wrath of the Teazer!" she growled.

Alonzo was continuing his efforts to make sure everyone was safe, though no one so far had been very appreciative, he thought with irritation. Hearing yells and what sounded like some sort of tussle, he went in the direction of the noise. The harlequin saw what looked like Teazer about to attempt to murder Tumble. Of course, he knew she probably would never actually kill him, but it frustrated him that these two nearly-adult cats had to get in a fight about something instead of talking it over. "Would you two mind growing up and sorting your differences like civilised creatures?" he said, raising his voice above their noise.

Rumpelteazer was so surprised that she froze just short of reaching out her paws to "pretend-strangle" Tumble. She stared at Alonzo a moment, then back at Tumble. "Err..." For the moment, she was at a loss for words.

[Deleted]

Tumble rolled and stood up before turning to hear teazer he smirked "Bring it on kitty Kat " he teased as she ran at him.He laughed and ran back at her to induce some wrath of his own when suddenly he heard a voice yelling and stopped moving. He turned to see a rather irritated looking alonzo and turned back to teazer them both making an "ehh" noise before tumble turned back to the agitated tom. He wasn't so sure why lonzo was upset but one thing was sure, he wouldn't be yelling at them for it. Tumble let his paws drop away from teazer still looking at lonzo " Hey ah -lonzo " he started forgetting to hid that accent of his that he tried so hard to cover up "What do ya mean civilized...we're just playin " he laughed abit " You don't think I would hurt teazer do ya?" he asked " Why wud I eva wanna do that?" He sauntered over to teazer and wrapped his paw around her waist the other one moving up to her cheek affectionately " Why would I eva hurt such a cute queen like her? She neva did nothin to me , plus..I love teazer ~" he added cutely and to prove his point nuzzled against her. He smiled as he nuzzled her enjoying the soft feel of her fur, he kept nuzzling her as in he got lost in thought and forgot what he was doing as he purred and his tail swayed behind him. He hoped teazer didn't mind the random affection but he really did enjoy the queen.

[eliaza]

Rumpelteazer was somewhat surprised by Tumble's random show of affection, but not bothered by it. The thought that he might like or love her was miles away from even occurring to her. She still for the most part saw all toms much the same as Mungojerrie - fun brothers to be crazy with. She was nowhere near thinking of any of them as potential mates or life partners or any such thing. So she figured his behaviour was partly brotherly affection, and partly to make Alonzo uncomfortable - after all, she and Jerrie did sappy things to embarrass people all the time. It was fun and amusing. So she played along. Leaning against Tumble and running her paw through his headfur affectionately, she nodded in agreement. "Yeah, 'Lonz, we wos just playin', honest. Oi would never ruin Tumble's adorable ikkle face." She frowned, and moved slightly away from Tumble. "Even tho' 'e tried ta pull me ears off..."

Alonzo sighed. "Look, this is no time for..." He trailed off, distracted by them suddenly being all touchy-feely with one another. It bothered him, but not for the reasons the other two might think. He knew they were probably trying to mess with him, but it had a different effect than just making him feel awkward. Partly, he envied them; they had managed to get to this age without losing the ability to simply have fun with other cats and enjoy each other's company. While Alonzo was constantly worrying about the whole tribe and trying to make sure everyone stayed safe, these two could just goof off. But that was his job, he knew. Most of all, these two reminded him of what had been, despite the many difficulties, the happiest time of his life - probably the only truly happy time he ever had or ever would know.

After a few minutes of silence, Teazer grew slightly concerned that something was wrong with Alonzo. "Er, yes, Lonz'? Wot was yew gonna say...?"

Shaking away the memories, Alonzo tried to return to the task at hand. "Do you two know there have been a lot of henchcats lurking about lately, and that some queens were kitnapped?" He thought what to say next. Simply scolding seemed to just make the young cats resentful. Maybe he could let them help somehow? "Munkustrap and a lot of the other older cats have gone to rescue them. That's good, but it means we have fewer cats to protect the junkyard. Would you two like to help?"

[Deleted]

Tumble laughed abit at teazer before stopping the affections and looking at lonzo. He wasn't in love with her or anything, she was just a friend to tumble, a playmate. He didn't even think to consider her in a courting way, and his affections? Well he was affectionate with every one and plus..her fur is very soft. Alonzo seemed like he was troubled, not just irritated.He tilted his head but teazer asked the question before he could ask himself.Hearing alonzo's answer his ears perked forward, he thought he would get yelled at but instead they were told what was going on . Tumble felt a happiness fill him when he was asked to help, him? Helping?! He was actually being asked to help with a responsible task! He separated from teazer and stood up straight with a sudden refined look and bowed " I will be honored to help...." He felt like to be asked of such a thing meant he had to be as serious as possible " I will not fail you or the tribe" he said, the strange thing is with his seriousness his voice got deeper too, it made him actually sound like an adult. This was a side of tumble that he usually never showed, That side that came out when it had to and was gone when it wanted to be.

[eliaza]

Rumpelteazer nodded eagerly along with Tumble. "If'n the Junkyahd needs more 'elp protectin' itself, yew c'n count on me too!" she declared. She leaned forward in anticipation. "Wot c'n we do?"

Alonzo blinked, slightly surprised at their quick positive response. Apparently calmly explaining the situation rather than just grumbling at people worked a lot better. He made a mental note to remember that and try to keep it up, even when frustrated. He gave a satisfied nod, but then realised: oh. Now he actually had to find something for them to do! He was more used to working on his own or with Munkustrap or sometimes a few others, but never was the one delegating tasks. "Well...For starters...You could make sure no queens or kittens are wandering off on their own."

"And chase off any 'enches we see?" Teazer mentioned eagerly.

Alonzo raised an eyebrow. "Mm...More like don't let the Hench see you, and come tell me immediately. But let's hope you don't see any." He looked at both of the young cats. "Are you up for the task?"
