[A mountain that drips burning earth?

...He has her completely enraptured. This RockClan must be outside of StarClan's domain, or simply... something that the clans of the forest didn't know about. She didn't know everything her ancestors watched over, after all. And after all, she'd met Silverpelt himself. Anything is possible.]

Bravery isn't as simple as that, is it, Firestar? [She's thinking as hard as she can, though. Going underground alone is always a poor choice, even in the forest... but if a cat who speaks prophecies thinks it's a place that needs exploration, who is she to judge.] I appreciate the information, but if I was going to go investigate tunnels, I would need some sort of patrol - warriors and supplies, and a medicine cat on duty. Surely you're not expecting me to go in there alone.

[House sees that conversation with Davesprite, but he's going to ignore it in favor of just continuing to pretend he's a cat. If he can get this cat on his side, she might be willing to try out some experiments. Maybe not down the vents, but she could be useful for other tight spaces that even Quark can't fit into.]

it's not, no
it would be foolish to go alone
which is why i said it was dangerous
the silverpelt died in there
i would not lose another cat
but we must learn more
he was met with numerous foes who threw him down to his death
with enough clever thinking and supplies
i think we can outwit them, though
they're little more than prey
they just have numbers on their side
and bodies more unyielding than any stone

warriors are few and far between here
but i have heard of twolegs who do medicine
not a proper medicine cat
but adequate for a substitute

first we should figure out where you are
the twolegs use paper and markers to figure it out
with the snow
following a scent or landmarks is difficult
you'll do well to learn to use it

[Hmm... well, she isn't happy with him now that Davesprite has alerted her that she's being lied to. She has a very low tolerance for betrayal. So, instead of outright questioning him, she decides to continue as if nothing happened.]

I'm surprised the Silverpelt can die.

[That's the only hint she's giving that he made a mistake. Even without Davesprite, she would have become suspicious after hearing that.]

Still, if you think it's important, I can look into gathering what I need. Surely this is in line with some prophecy from the Lords of the Stars, yes?

[She completely made that up, and it's probably her conversations with Peter that had the phrase 'Star Lord' bouncing around in her mind. Let's see if he can keep his story straight while she feeds him false information.]

[rubikscomplex]

[House is happy to play this out as long as she'll let him.]

so was i
but he returned
so death, it would seem
did not hold him for long

[Lord of the Stars makes him, indeed, think of Star Lord, and that's gross. He's making up his own cat gods for the RockClan, thank you.]

i know of no lords of the stars, though
only the tygers
burning bright
within the jungles of the night
in the distant deeps and skies
burn the fire of their eyes
they are the starclan
they grant us prophecy
they have spoken to me of another warrior who would come
one who could deliver this twolegplace and the twolegs in it
even knowing not their world

[dousedflame]

[She tries to stifle her whiskers twitching, and the sound like a chatter that comes out. It's so close to being believable, it's becoming funny.]

Forgive me, I've had trouble with tigers as of late.

[At least, Tigerclaw has been more trouble than usual lately... but surely that's nothing to be concerned about. But more importantly, yes, she's now fully sure that he's making all of this up.]

Are you a medicine Twoleg, House? You're good at speaking in riddles.

[rubikscomplex]

you take all the fun out of it when you don't call me "firestar"

[It was a good run. And Davesprite is totally lame.]

[dousedflame]

I do think we should have a serious discussion. This was fun, if insulting, but I do need to figure out what resources I can get from the others here.

[Her tone is almost like a mother explaining something to a kit.]

[rubikscomplex]

you've got ten other people wanting to help the pretty kittypet
you can suffer one asshole messing with you, whiskers
seriously, though?
avoid the vents until you got a decent chance of getting back out
next time the admin and her spiders disappear, maybe
