Ruse [SB]'s Links
"We don't interact much but I can tell she's a fine lieutenant. She's intense and stands strong for what she believes in. She doesn't let cats get away for wrongdoings, and for that, she's earned my respect"
"Never uttered a word to me despite our similar ages and rank, as is the case for most of the Flame's soldiers. Probably better that way, I have no interest in mingling with him, I don't even bat an eye in xyr direction. It's laughable at how he's so short though, ha ha."
"Being called short was a warning to me. I avoid her a lot more than others."
"Cassia's like a palm-sized bundle of joy that I can keep in my pockets if I had pockets. Compared to the other pages, she's mature for her age but it's nothing too unusual. We get along well."
“RUSE! My good friend!! Always fun to hear her talk :3”
"Moon... he's interesting, if not weird. He's always go-go eyeing Vesper and where the hell does he go in the afternoons? Some sort of city field trip? But y'know, I suppose he has his reasons. It's not really any of my business. You do you."
"Mothflare turns out to be a decent cat. He's a bit more chattier than I would like, but otherwise, he's ok. Hard to believe a guy like him is siblings with Alaska out of all cats. But even if my brother was anything like Alaska, I'd care for him the way Mothflare does for his siblings. I don't know if he knows how fortunate he is to have them."
"Ruse is actually pretty nice once you get to know them better. I mean, more nice in the "if you don't piss me off, then I won't piss you off" way, if you get what I mean. But, uh, I guess Alaska pissed her off or something, because I swear, they fight if they get even a glance at one another. ANYWAYS, I hope I can get to know her a bit better. They're a pretty good fighter, despite her... um, never mind, sorry."
"Never officially met them but I could care less. Who names their child "Rat"? What a cruel joke."
“I couldnt care for them, we never met officially. but they see. to be to much to handle for my liking..”
"Abstract has a cute bow. Didn't Miss make him do her dirty work once or something, I dunno, heard about it somewhere from someone. Such a shame that AlleyClan's probably out for his blood now, AlleyClan's like that for vengeance. He sounds like a nice cat but at the same time, it's his own fault for getting into that mess in the first place."
"Ishq /is/ boisterous but he's not too bad once you look past his mischievous demeanor. He's actually pretty sweet in his weird, Ishq-way. I just wish he would quiet down when we're out birdwatching, that's all."
"The definition of Rockhead, but does not want to admit it."
"He's all that remains of my family, I wasn't even sure if he was still out there and alive, I genuinely thought I had no one else to lean on after my mom died. But Aither's here and that's all that matters. He's almost like the brother I could but never had. And will never have. I'm sorry, I'm- no. Never mind that. Don't fuck with him."
"Ruse. My cousin. She's...I didn't know I had any living family. I should feel elated. I don't. It's not because of her, though- just- we-
...whatever, it doesn't matter. I'd kill and die for her. I'm sure she'd do the same. At least, I hope she would."
"Isn't Nightshade Vrai's other littermate? She's so quiet - like her siblings. Does that run in the family or something? Outside of her relations, she's a solid team player from what I can tell. Not overly stubborn and is pretty smart. She's self-sufficient and doesn't need anyone to do anything for her. She just goes for it. Maybe we'll become friends but until she makes a move first, I'll stick to myself."
"Hallowed's kind of weird with his third-person narration, sticks to Daybreak like glue. Then again I'm kind of weird and there are countless cats in the Nouveau Flame that's kind of weird. He's no exception to the weirdness, I guess we all collectively found another weird and figured it would be great if we stuck together. Yeah, I like him, Hallowed's not annoying at least. Community bond anyone?"
“There’s more to Ruse than she lets show, Hallowed can tell, but Hallowed isn’t exactly sure what.”
"Daybreak's loud. Like really, really loud. It hurts my ears. He's upbeat so it makes sense. He's really nice though, I've seen him around with Cassia, Icarus, and Osmanthus. She also hangs out with Hallowed. I'm guessing she has this thing with loneliness because once I said something about working alone but she would /not/ hear of it. She roped me into a trio of her, Hallowed, and I, but it was actually sweet. I didn't realize how nice it was to be seen and heard. When I get the chance, I'll give him my thanks. I appreciate it."
“Why are there so many lone cats in the Nouveau Flame? Come on! Talk to me! I know you want to! Its not like I’ll bite or anything… unless you bite first. But like, that would hurt real bad! I don’t like biting other cats. It makes them hurt!”
"Lucan, talk of the town hm? I believe he's decently popular among the Nouveau Flame, though don't quote me on this, I don't partake in gossip. Outside of that, I don't know much about him. He's not the type to stir up drama but I do know he is one of Alaska's exes and bickers with Mettle a lot. I'm here for the chaos."
Ruse is the, well, recluse one, right? Ah, she's always off hiding in a shadowy hole or busy avoiding everyone. It's a little ridiculous just how much she keeps to herself, but whatever; I'm not going to press them into talking if they don't have anything to say
"Another scrawny page in the Nouveau Flame, I don't know a lot about Grimm and I intend on keeping that. However, fate does have other plans, as it always does. I won't be surprised if we get to know each other through a strange twist of events, he seems like the type where the unusual always happens to him. I shouldn't get too caught up in my thoughts, so for now, he remains a mystery to me."
"I heard they're a hard worker. And rude. But I wouldn't know about that too well; I haven't gotten the chance to talk to her yet."
"Icarus does a lot of talking, which is an admirable skill by itself. Social skills are good in some cases. Doesn't mean that I have to like it though. Icarus isn't too annoying, he's nice which I do enjoy. Perhaps I can strike up a conversation with him. That is if I come up with anything worthwhile to say."
Russ does a lot of thinking and I can really admire that. I think we could get along, have a nice discussion if given the chance.
"Despite his rather confrontational nature that I've seen, Mettle seems to be super loyal and dedicated to the Nouveau Flame? I'm guessing it's tough love. Either that, or I'm way off. Regardless, it's a respectable thing to care so much for your fellow soldiers. I don't know if I'll do the same."
" Ruse is a mediocre cat - at best - who really doesn't get the fact that community is a value of the Flames. At least she doesn't mince words, hah. "
"Miss. She saved me at my lowest and yet, I don't know if it was out of genuine kindness or if I was just another pawn in the grand scheme of things. Something about her is so unsettling but I can't place my paw on it. I'm forever- excuse me. I'm revealing much more than I should. Forget it. Forget I said anything about Miss. All you have to know is that I don't know who Miss is."
“Oh, Ruse, that child, such a frowner! There is something so amusing about having absolutely no filter and regard for what you say when you have nothing to fall back on other than yourself… Maybe it’s better that Ruse keeps denying me every time I request her presence at one of my parties because that thornhead would get eaten alive by my Warriors!”
"Rude? Rude?! Excuse me, what did Jungle say about me? She should check up on her vocabulary because I am anything but rude. Admittedly, I don't sugarcoat my words but that doesn't make me /rude/. Maybe Jungle has no filter, she is friends with some spider named "Leggy" and is a bit too friendly friends with Alaska after all."
"Ruse? More like rude! For a cat with all sortsa nifty things like leaves an' scars an' missing limbs, she sure will bite your head off for asking 'bout 'em!"
"Where do I even begin with Alaska? She's a hot, explosive mess, sparking with such intensity and energy, it's so overwhelming... can you blame me for hating her as much as I do? No wonder Alaska and Jungle bounce off each other so well, it's as if they were made for each other. Tch, I try to avoid her as much as I can, but sometimes my best isn't enough and I bump heads with her from time to time. When we do, let's just say our interactions aren't pleasant."
I don't know how Mothflare can even *stand* her. If I had to find one cat who could ruin my day with a look, it'd be her. Obviously I try and avoid her, but she's like a snake - slippery, hissy, and always preparing to strike when you turn your back.
"I'm yet to properly meet the newcomer and I'm yet to gather anything on him so I can't form much of an opinion. I heard that he's a former ParaClan warrior, so good for him that he recognizes that place is hella shitty. I hope he can heal from his time there, ParaClan's never fun."
“Orange is a good color for them.”
"Damn, she's pretty for a city cat. Her eyes are really enchanting like I could get lost in them. Ae's more on the quiet side, mysterious and elegant, just my type. I /have/ to get to know them more before it's too late. Maybe Mother was wrong about city cats, Telltale isn't bad, no, not at all. But ae's in AlleyClan and I'm in the Nouveau Flame, how's a relationship like that going to work, let alone if ae even like me back at all? Will I ever see you again?"
"One of those New Fire cats, huh? Whatever it's called. I hear this one asks the hard questions... now, that's a quality I can admire!"
**NEEDS UPDATE
"I don't talk a lot, Tiptoe doesn't talk a lot, we both don't go out of our way to chat with one another and it's going to stay that way until one of us sucks it up one day and throw a random comment at the other. But that's not going to happen, I have no reason to get to know Tiptoe and neither do they. I'm not going to waste their time when we're clearly not interested in becoming friends anytime soon. Sometimes, that's how it rolls with cats. You can't befriend every quiet kid you meet on the street."
"Vrai's absolutely amazing, I find her easier to talk to than most cats. She's one of the few cats in this faction that's trustworthy. I think. I wouldn't say we're friends just yet nor do I know what's in store for our relationship, but it'll definitely blossom into something great, I'm sure of it."
“Ruse is wonderful to talk to, and it’s nice to talk to someone similar to myself! I wouldn’t mind it if I ran into them more often honestly”
"Huh, go figure buddy. Sandspur is like, the only cat that I know of that willingly gives up one of his senses, and for what? For a badass look? In the name of religion? I don't know, I can't understand why anyone would do that. Shocker that he happens to be Vrai's sibling, but if I squint hard enough, I can sorta see the resemblance. Otherwise, he's a pretty okay soldier, not too bothersome and we might get along okay. We're both stoic and believe in justice, after all. Keyword: might. He might not have appreciated me saying something about his blindfold."
" You're... riled up. Did I hit a nerve? "
"Chanterelle is different than the other pages and kids her age. She's super quiet and I'm not too familiar with them, but we can agree on one thing: Justice. Everyone's always tainted by their mistakes and she seems to get that. Hallowed's got a great little sister, the Nouveau Flame will see what she's capable of sooner or later."
'They believe in justice. I do too. No one is truly sin free.'
