[IC] The Borrowers RP

Twig sat in the window of the small tree house in the Smith family's backyard snacking on a sunflower seed from a patch nearby. He seemed to be waiting for something as he looked around the yard and then up at the sun briefly to try and gauge the time. It was still morning, nearly noon and he had been waiting maybe an hour. He heard the scratch of claws on wood behind him and turned to see his squirrel, Oak, standing in the tree house.

"There you are, I've been waiting for you," Twig said and slid down a string he had hung from the window, landing on the floor with grace that came from a lifetime of climbing. Oak chattered and scampered over to him, waiting for Twig to climb onto his back, which he did.

Oak, with Twig on his back, scampered down the vertical face of the tree and into the yard, running toward the house. As they drew near the back door of the house, left slightly open so the puppy could go in and out by himself, when the cat leaped from the bushes and landed on Oak, sending Twig sprawling on the ground. The last he saw of Oak was the squirrel, limp, being carried off by the cat before Twig ran for the door. "Damn the cat." Twig said as he entered the house and headed straight into the living room, climbing up a drape and sitting on top of the window. "I'll get that thing someday."

Rose looked at the house. It was the closest place to where she used to live. She hoped she could make a life for herself here. She approached cautiously. There were so many dangers when you where as little as she was. She knew this house had a dog, two children and two adults. She also knew that there were several of her people in the house. She adjusted her bag, which held only a few things that she really wanted to keep with her.

Honeydew groaned as she finally reached the shade of a tall tree to sit down. Crouching under a shroom that grew out from said tree, she looked directly at the house that owned this piece of land. Word was that this house had no borrowers living there yet. Honeydew thought that maybe she could make a new home there.... hopefully where everyone got along.

She stayed there, resting for a long time until the sun began to fall. It wouldn't be so hot now, so perhaps she'd make it before nightfall. Jumping to her feet with a new found energy, she started back on her way towards where she hoped would be the start of her new life.

Knight, who had travelled quite a distance without stopping, sighed as she slowed her pace down. She was near the backyard fence, now just checking her equipment over. She originally came here knowing no one had claimed the area, but with rumours, they sure spread quickly. That means others were here too, most likely. Knight, who was customed to fighting for the things she owned wanted a change. She wondered if they could settle areas depending on status and importance. That was a much more civilised option, at least. Knight dighed before walking into the backyard through a hole in the fence that she'd found.

Tini had entered the house during the night and was currently in the living room closet. It was cracked just enough for her to exit when she knew it was safe. Tini looked at all the things she had taken out of her bag and looked for a climbing pick she had created with a small stick and a needle with thread. Tini finally found it and she put the other things she had made back into her small bag and placed it onto her back. Tini placed the climbing pick into her brown belt that was around her white cotton dress. She made her way to the door and peaked her head out and looked around. "Good no danger..." Tini said still looking around before she spotted a small figure in the distance on the window. 'Is that another...' she thought but trailed off as she knew she was right. Tini put her bag down and pulled a piece of broken mirror that she had found on the ground of the bathroom at her old house. She held it out and with the sunlight reflecting off of it she shined the light towards the figure trying to get their attention.

/me the three short borrowers dived into a front yard under some grass coverage, Alpha peeks his head up looking at the front door. He directs his two underlings to flank around as all three begin to move towards the house in a five meter spread. Delta gets there first being the faster of all three of them. He is covered in mud having to go through the sprinkler area. He approaches the window and waits for his fellow borrowers to join him. They finally join him and they prepare to throw Delta up to the window and he lands just barely making it. He peeks in for a way inside scouting it. He spots the doggy door in the back and smirks.

Honeydew had finally made it. After a little skirmish with a ladybug, she finally made it to the house. Though it would be dangerous to go inside, she found a small screen in a low window was cracked likely enough for her to get through...

But how was she gonna get up there?

Walking to the side of the house, she tested the bricks to see if she could climb, but she was no pro. Opting to crawl up some vines instead, she would just jump to the window to get in. She hadn't noticed that another borrower was sitting there already.
