PLEASE NOTE: Anyone who still wishes to RP some plot in the previous thread may still do so, but don't forget to post in the new thread as well.
DEMETRIUS
Demetrius was already awake, he had been for a few hours now. He sat in his makeshift desk and chair above what he liked to call his 'assembly line'. Below him on the floor, lined up on small tables were bunches of henches and rats sorting through garbage that sometimes floated up by the docks. No one could ever logically say that there was nothing of value in those piles of garbage until you looked through it. Henches and rats made perfect servants for that jobs.
Pouring over paperwork and various maps, Demetrius's icy blue eyes were narrowed to slits as he regarded a photo in front of him. It was a Jellicle that he found particularily interesting; as he thought his half-brother and the Hidden Paw would as well.
Holding the picture between in front of him, Demetrius made small notes on a pad of paper in his lap as he looked over the other written things in front of him. Switching back and forth between documents, Demetrius worked silently, not looking up or moving an ear when a fight broke out amongst the rats below him. A few 'Bouncers', as the white Oriental liked to nickname them, stepped in to stop the fight and get the rats back to work.
"If only I could do that mind trick that Macavity and Atalo can... then I would be able to telepathically call my brother to me." Demetrius mused quietly, sitting back, putting down the picture and rubbing his eyes.

SANCTIFER 'Do you really think they'd come? They're the caller types, not the called ones.' replied Sanctifer to his half brother who most likely didn't expect any answer. Actually, the grey and brown tom didn't know why he had said anything at all, he and Demetrius had nothing in common, they hardly crossed path and had no reason to. Their 'siblinghood' was some mistake of fate they had to live with but mostly just didn't think about. He didn't even remembered why he had come to his brother's sanctuary so early in the morning. He pushed away a rat that had dared going to close. How could Demetrius work with these rodents? Sanctifer had tried but they were of no good. Whatever. Maybe should he talk of this Ninjisky Demetrius had given a task to yesterday. He was to (unofficialy) accompany her there, but in the end, he didn't know if she had completed her mission, (thanks to the High Queen herself who conveniently interrupted them) second, whatever it was that she had to do there. Not that it was his business anyway. As things went in the warehouse, most things weren't Sanctifer's business, which was both good or bad as he was freeer than his siblings but also jealous that they got things to do. Yet, it was also a burden, after all, if you are not in position of power, then you are just a minion to order around. 'What could be so important that you want to bother their sleep anyway?' (if I mess up with something you had planned, you can erase it )

POLARIS Polaris entered the warehouse the next morning feeling better then she usually did. After meeting Alibastus and Sarone she held new hope that not all the warehousians where as cruel and horrible as she had originally assumed. She walked though the building with a bit more confidence then normal but she still felt small and intimated from the towering dark corridors. She didn’t have any jobs lined up for her that she didn’t finish yesterday so she headed to one of the main halls to wait and see which cats would she have to help today. Upon entering she quickly and quietly made her way to an abandoned corner trying to make herself as small and unnoticed as possible.
RAMESES Rameses had been having a boring few weeks. As of recently he hadn’t been needed as a infiltrator for the warehouse so he had been left to his own devices which because of his lack of English social skills left him little to do. At this moment in time he found himself wandering outside the warehouse trying to find a nice sunny spot in the sand where he could relax and brush up on his hieroglyphics in the sand. He loved laying on the sand, it reminded him so much of the dunes at home. Finally finding a nice spot he lay down on his stomach and started to trace simple words and sentences into the sand in his ancestry language hoping that he would be able to think of something better to do later, or at least have a job given to him.

(Atalo)
Darn seasonal change. It always got to him. Although Atalo preferred chiller weather, the transition from warm to cold was never an easy one.
Leaning back in the recliner in his den, Atalo placed a warm cloth over his face, breathing in the steam. It always opened up his nasal passageways, well, at least enough to make his cold a little less annoying. Other than the stuffy nose and desire for sleep, Atalo was just fine, and there was no way in hell he was ever going to let anyone other than the healers know of his illness.
Casting the cloth to the side, Atalo sat up, sensing that he was wanted, no, needed somewhere, and the ghostly white tom pinched this bridge of his nose in annoyance. Really now, At 7 o’clock in the morning? Sure, he was usually awake at this time, but he was never really out and about until around 8, unless of course there was an emergency. This of course didn’t feel like an emergency, but nevertheless, Atalo left his den in search of whom ever it was that had beckoned him. He best bet was either his father, or his delightfully enticing half brother. He would try the second on his list first.
Coming upon Demetrius and Sanctifer, Atalo folded his arms, hearing a bit of their conversation. “Indeed Sanctifer; however, if the person that beckons me is important, then I will answer their call.” Atalo stated, butting into the conversation as he rounded past the grey tom to stand beside Demetrius. “What did you need this morning?” He asked, his icey gaze studying the oriental tom’s features as well as the picture he had in his hands.

DEMETRIUSGlancing up from his work, Demetrius regarded his youngest half-brother with his icy blue eyes. Mistake of fortune his relationship to Sanctifer might be, but at least the two of them almost looked nothing alike. Casting a quick eye over the grey longhair, Demetrius opened his mouth to reply when Atalo wandered in. How convenient. "Indeed, dear brother. There are things that are of importance to him, but have nothing to do with you Sanctifer." Demetrius's exotically slanted eyes were on Atalo, but he was speaking to Sanctifer. "What do you want, little brother?" He asked, turning his gaze back to the first intruder. It wasn't like they had anything to talk about. Unless Sanctifer had something to report about a hench... which was possible. Unlikely, but possible. "I'll speak with you in a moment, Atalo." Demetrius added in a silkier tone. {Not at all Quitte. I was just trying to get something started.}

Stevie Rae
Stevie groaned. Why was she awake? It could have been the stupid sunlight streaming through her still open window. She rolled over and tried to go back to sleep but it was no use. Reluctantly she got up and smoothed down her downy striped coat. She brushed her long hair and left it down. She might as well go see if any one was up. After she left her room, she just let her feet guide her. She found herself in Demetrius's room. She growled low in throat. Even though she was a tomboy, she hated her half-brothers way of treating queens. She ignored him and saw that Sanctifer and Atalo were also in the room. They she could stand. She went over to them growling at a hench who tried to grab her tail. The worthless hench returned to his trash. Rae leaned against the wall with her arms crossed. She playfully punched Atalo in the shoulder.

PAIGE
The white queen awoke to the sun streaming through her window. It is entirely too early to be alive Paige thought, glaring at the sun through one open eye. She lifted her head, knowing all too well that once sun hit here eyes, she would never be able to go back to sleep. The black and red queen got off the measly matress she had and started to stretch. She looked down at the bed on the otherside of the small room. Paige and Nessi had become roommates over the last week. She smiled at the sleeping form of her best friend. Paige had found that she did not fit in around the warehouse, because of her general compassion(or at least the ability to recognize that other cats have feelings), so it was a comfort for her to have someone like Nessi. The two had just clicked, and had been basically inseperable ever since. Paige would have woken her friend, but knew of her irritability in the morning, and thought better of it. She tip toed to the door, and once outside, closed it quietly. The tall queen suddenly realized that she had done nothing about her headfur and quickly ran a paw through her "hair". Paige walked down the hallway, and it wasn't long before she heard talking. From what she could hear, it was three toms. Paige had learned quickly that if she wanted to know anything in the warehouse, she had to find it out by eavesdropping, which is something the tall queen actually did very well, she could just pretend she was daydreaming. She walked up to one of the many windows that looked out over the water and let her eyes get that glassy look they always got when she stopped focuisng. Her brown tipped tail started to sway slowly back and forth, her mind was set on listening to the toms conversation.
ALIBASTUS The brown tabby tom had been awake for about an hour, he had always been one to get up early. He sat on top of one of the higher crates, overlooking the area beneath him. He saw a few cats slowly emerging, but he held his spot, until he saw Polaris come out and huddle in a corner. Albi knew the poor kit was bound to be picked on even if she did hide, so he decided to go and talk to her, if only to provide her some protection with his presence. "Good morning," He said flatly as he leaned his back against a wall. "Had any trouble?" He asked more quietly to the young queen. He had been trying to keep tabs on the grey queen since they had met a week ago. He knew what a place like this could do to a girl like her, and he was going to do anything he could to make sure that didn't happen.
(Tinsy will be coming in later, she's not exactly a morning person XD)

ZODIAC
The ginger tom rose early, the morning light streaming in from the windows entered his den and hit his eyes. Immediately Zodiac sunk back into the dark corners of his den. It was small, dank and dark. It was perfect. Stretching out his hind-legs, the tom, still clinging to the shadows edge, made his way out of his den into the open warehouse.
Listening to all the voices, his ears moved left and right, picking up small snippets of conversation. Being on the bottom floor he was surrounded by "scum" that others call rats. Zodiac looked up toward the other floors and spotted a red queen gazing out a window. Smiling to himself Zodiac stepped out from the shadows and headed to a spot where he could climb up to reach the queen.
"Get out of my way!" He hissed to a rat by his feet, kicking it out of the way. He slowly cleared a path for himself, constantly batting and pushing the "scum" away. "Stupid filthy creatures" He said under his breath, glaring at any rat who dared to walk in his path. Finally reaching the higher level he quickly sunk back into the shadows. His bright yellow eyes glowing with excitement. It was the thrill of the hunt.
Hearing the voices of three male toms, he stopped still for a moment to pin point their location. Realizing that they weren't a big threat to Zodiac's little "game". He slinked along the edge of the shadows, behind the queen, being as silent as he could. He could feel the adrenalin building up inside of him. Zodiac was smiling now. Not a warm friendly one, but a small menacing one.
The ginger tom approached the queen, and breathing down her neck he whispered to her "Listening in are we?"

[Sanctifer]
Well, it seems they can be the called ones. the grey tom thought with a smirk. He didn't pay attention to the fact his half brother had implied he, Sanctifer, wasn't important for him, after all, he had grown with that. 'Don't you worry, oh you important ones,' he answered Demetrius with a not so hidden irony, 'I'll take just half a minute of your time. I'm here to report that you may have to reassign the task you gave to that Ninjiski yesterday, a meeting with the High Queen postponed it. You may go on with your matter at hand.' he finished before leaving his brother's office. He wasn't sure what had gotten to him, he had been pissed at their attitude, but acting that way was almost suicidal. Oh well, life was short, wasn't it? Well, didn't mean he wasn't going to put as much distance between he and his brothers as he could though. Besides, there was one new warehousian he wanted to see, a young female he had noticed some days ago. Well, here she was, with a brown striped cat he knew was Alibastus. She could have falled in far worse paws.

PAIGE
Paige was watching the waves role back and forth, her ears were trying to pick up on the conversation going on a few yards away. So far all she had managed to pick up is that one of the toms wasn't exactly welcome there. As she was eavesdropping, she suddenly felt hot air on the back of her neck, and a question whispered to her. The hot air caused her to gasp in surprise and she spun around to look at the tom that was a little too close behind her. "Of course not," She said, still trying to regain her breath. She could see the slightly cruel smile on the toms face, but that didn't bother her, she figured it was the only type of smile anyone in the warehouse could have. The white queen figured that if she was in trouble, she would've been just punished immediately rather than him just scaring the crap out of her. She might have just fessed up, but the lie just slipped out, which is something that happened to the queen from time to time.

POLARIS
The familiar voice made poor Polaris jump, she had zoned off in the time she was standing alone. “Oh! Hello, good morning Alibastus,” she said cheerily and without a stutter, “how are you this morning?” She trusted him enough to know that she could be social and unafraid around him. “No, no trouble yet. Thank you for the concern though,” she replied to him just as quiet and with a grateful smile across she features.
Her smile faded a little though when she spotted the gray tom heading their way. She recognised him straight away, it was Sanctifer the son of the High Queen and brother of Atalo and Demetrius. Lowering her head in respect she managed to stutter out a barely audible sentence. “H-hello sir,” she stuttered, “Good m-morning.” Over the past week she had been oblivious to the fact that Albi had been silently keeping an eye on her and that she had been caught a slight spark of attention from the grey tom approaching her.

NESSI
Nessi rolled over and opened an eye. She found that Paige had gotten up without her. The young queen wanted to feel upset that her best friend would leave her behind, but then remembered that the last time Paige tried to wake her up, the white queen got bitten. Nessi climbed out of her bed and rushed to the door, forgetting to open the door before she rushed into it. The black and white queen opened the door and walked through. Nessi's original plan was to go find Paige, but she heard a familiar voice that knocked all thoughts of finding her best friend out of her head. Nessi turned in the opposite direction the white queen had gone, and followed the sound of Alibastus' voice. "Hi," The young queen said dreamily, looking up at the most handsome tom she had ever seen.

(Atalo)
Atalo was frustrated, that at least was obvious. The ghostly white tom shifted on his heels and both arms folded across his chest, shifting his gaze between Demetrius and Sanctifer. The truth was that Atalo really had no problem with the grey tom; however, Atalo hadn’t exactly woken up on the right side of the bed this morning. Most everything was bound to annoy him. Even worse, Stieve Rae figured it would be cool to playfully punch him at such a god awful hour.
Letting a low growl rumble within the pit of his chest, his shoulder fur stood on end and Atalo glared at his half sister. He just wasn’t in the mood.
“Excuse me,” Atalo hissed, demanding the attention of the cats in the room. “As much as I would love to entertain you all at this fine hour, this isn’t the time. Obviously Demetrius called on me for a reason, and if you aren’t requested, go.” He snapped. Despite Sanctifer leaving during his little speech, Stieve hadn’t, and Atalo’s pale eyes remained on her momentarily. “We can play later little sister, but for now, entertain yourself elsewhere.” Stieve didn’t particularly annoy him…much, but he wasn’t in the mood to entertain a queen.
With his frustrations voiced, Atalo sighed and turned to face Demetrius, automatically engrossed by his half brother. “Well, if Sanctifer is right, we will have to reschedule Ninjiski’s task. I'm not worried about it though. Nevertheless, what did you need to tell me?” He asked, one ear cocked towards the hallway. It seemed as if a few of the henches were rowdy and out and about already. He would most likely have to interfere later.

ZODIAC
The black and orange tom took a step backwards and laughed. "Oh come now, the waves can't be that interesting." He said, gesturing out the window. He wondered if she would call his bluff, because in truth Zodiac found the waves quiet mesmorising. He came around and stood beside her, looking out the window on to the sea side. "Now whats a queen like you doing in a place like this?" He asked looking sideways at her. She seemed to have a nice personallity, which was different to what he was used to in this place.
Zodiac's tail flickered from side to side. He was kind of nervous speeking to a queen. From past experiance he always scared them off or they got board with him. If only I could just have one normal conversation! He thought to himself. "Not likely" Zodiac mumbled to himself and rested his head against the glass of the window.

SANCTIFER
So shy, she didn't even looked at him, he mused as he arrived near her and Alibastus. He found it cute. In truth, Sanctifer wasn't interested in most female of the warehouse for, the biggest part of them were authoritative, wanted control or power. That wasn't the kind to like that. Sure, he didn't want a slave either. Just someone quiet enough that wasn't going to annoy him and fight for dominance. Polaris filled the bill. But with Alibastus around, it would be hard. The grey cat had noticed that he had grown rather protective. He was right in doing so, but it did make him a little jealous. Luckily a female came close, as if on cue. 'My, my, Ali, seems like you've got a fan. My say is that you should go entertain her. Don't you worry, I'll take a great care of our friend here.'
