Coricopat, being without his twin for once stretched out onto the tire. He wasn't sure where everyone was. Though he didn't mind too much. The peacefullness being away from his sister was reward enough. However the more he thought about it the more upset he got. One wouldn't be able to tell, but although he was quiet by nature, he liked being around others, he liked noise. His head raised up and his ears flicked a bit, was that someone he heard, someone approaching?

Having just taken a very uneventful patrol of his end of the junkyard, the black-and-white now wandered around aimlessly, looking for something to do. Alonzo was glad the junkyard had stayed safe for so long, but it was getting rather boring. They hadn't had a good, healthy Macavity scare lately... He quickly stopped those thoughts. If he thought it, he'd inevitably say it, and he'd only get into trouble for saying something like that. Passing by the big tire, he spotted one of the twins, Coricopat, lounging on it. Figuring it wouldn't hurt to be friendly (and that he had nothing better to do) he went up to the other tom. "Hullo, what's up?"

Coricopat sighed a bit as Alonzo came into view. He wasn't sure if the two were friends, they had barely talked over the years. Coricopat rolled his eyes, he barely talked to anyone. Once Alonzo came closer, Coricopat sat up a little more. "Good afternoon, Alonzo." He took a harder glance at the tom, he was usually really good at reading others. "You look bored."

"Yeah, well, nothing's really been going on lately, has it?" Alonzo grumbled. "It's practically a year til the next Ball, and we haven't had a good, exhilerating Macavity scare lately." Oops! He hadn't meant to say that last part... "Er--um, I mean that's good, but um..." Too late. He'd already put his foot in his mouth.

As soon as she spotted the black-and-white, Vi ran ahead of Munkustrap. As she came to a stop, she saw Coricopat there too. "Hi, Alonzo, hi, Coricopat!" she said cheerily.
Alonzo started to say something flirty back to the kitten, but saw Munkustrap coming up behind her and thought better of it. Instead of giving her a tickle under the chin, he patted her on the head. "Hey, kit, what's up?" He couldn't recall her name at the moment...

Coricopat never got the chance to reply to Alonzo when the other two arrived. In a way he was glad for the distraction, the noise. But in another way he felt he'd be ignored, and the rest would continue without him, or would leave him, where he'd be alone again. Before he could utter a hello to Munkustrap or Violynne, another loud voice interrupted. Can't a guy get in a few words around here? He thought sarcastically.
Etcetera had been scouting the junkyard for something, anything to do. That is until she saw the gathering of jellicles by the tire. She rushed forward and saw Violynne among them. In a loud voice, she takcled Vi,"VI! I got you!"

"Gaaaah!" cried Vi in surprise as she was tackled from behind. She turned around with a broad grin on her face, for the moment forgetting all about Alonzo's patrol, in her happiness at seeing her fellow kitten. "Etcy! Where've you been? I've been so bored," and she pretended to pout.
Munkustrap smiled at the two kittens, glad Etcetera had shown up when she did. Vi had had enough time with 'grownups'. She needed another kitten to play with. Now maybe those two would run off somewhere, and he and Alonzo could discuss their patrols in peace...not that there was really anything to discuss.
Alonzo yelled in surprise at Etcy's "attack", then muttered to Coricopat, "Things are looking less boring now..."

Etcetera giggled,"I've been here, silly." She looked at her friend with a big grin on her face. She was so glad she found Vi, just when she thought things would get boring. She quickly got up and lightly hit her friend on the shoulder,"Tag, you're it!!!" She started running away from Vi, giggling madly.
Coricopat smirked at Alonzo's yell. "So even a protector can be startled." He hadn't meant to say that outloud, but what's done was done.

Vi didn't have to be told twice. Waving goodbye to the toms, she sped off after Etcy.
Alonzo folded his arms. "Well, who wouldn't be startled by those spaztic kits?" He turned to Munkustrap. "So, Munk, what's up?"
Munkustrap laughed as Vi and Etcy ran off, then turned to Alonzo. "Just thought I'd ask how your patrol went."
"Boring, as usual." Alonzo shook his head in exasperation. "When are we gonna have some excitement around here?"
"Well, we do have a new tribe member; black-and-white queen, name of Seffina. That's a bit exciting, at least."

Well finally, another black-and-white! And a queen too, no less. "So...this queen a kit, or an old grandmum, or what?" he inquired casually.
"Umm...about Merri's age, I think, maybe a bit older," said Munkustrap, raising an eyebrow suspiciously.
Ah, perfect! Maybe things were looking up. "And where's this new queen now?" he asked, trying hard to sound careless.
"Touring the junkyard with Merri..."
"Well, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go introduce myself." And Alonzo began to leave, forcing himself to go slowly.
Munkustrap grabbed the black-and-white's arm before he could go anywhere. "With Merri, Alonzo," he repeated. "I really don't think this is the best time..."
"Ah, your sister just needs to get over herself--no offense. I have as much right to meet the new queen as her..." And he wrenched his arm from Munku's grip and sauntered off in search of the queens.
Munkustrap watched nervously as the other tom walked off. Then he turned to Coricopat. "The last time he got near Merri, he ended up with a bloody nose... I honestly don't know what her problem is. Hopefully this time he'll be too focused on Seffie to flirt with Merri."

Coricopat sighed once again, not having a single word in their conversation. He did look distant as he listened to their conversation. So we have a new member in our tribe. That is rather exciting. When Munk turned to him, he snapped out of his thoughts to listen to Munkustrap. He nodded when he felt it was appropriate,"He probably will, if this Seffina is pretty. Is she?" The question sounded blunt and dull, though deep down he was curious himself. He then turned his head upwards,"Funny...Merri's never hurt me before."

"Well...yeah, Seffie is rather good-looking..." Munkustrap cleared his throat and went to the next thing Cori had said. "Well, Merri seems to pick and choose what toms she decides to be civil to--which isn't many. Maybe you were one of the lucky few."

Coricopat, being his usually creepy and seeing self, caught Munkustrap's slight posture change in referance to Seffina. He was even positive that he saw the tabby blush."If she's that good looking, maybe I'll introduce myself,"Coricopat mumbled under his breath. "Oh, well Merri probably hates me, I just have been lucky so far,"He added quickly, hoping his other statement would not be heard, and go unnoticed.

Munkustrap noticed Coricopat's embarrassment, so decided to ignore the first thing he'd said. "Yes, well, I suppose she'll grow out of it eventually." He hoped so! "One day, some tom will catch her eye, and then she'll figure out they're not all that bad."

Coricopat nodded, thankful that Munk just pushed passed it. "Well you know. Queens are always saying how great looking you are Munk...it's the same with your sister. She's a pretty queen, with a good heart. She probably already has a few tom admirer's." He sighed, it wasn't like him to talk so much, especially to Munkustrap. The two really weren't friends, to Coricopat's knowledge anyway. "My point is, is that when the right tom comes along, I'm sure she'll grow out of it."
