[ tw: fictional death ] [ bimblemprise's death rp ] . . . She'd been around a while. The moons melted into a haze, the stars were burning deeper and sharper into the pelt of his dark skies. She'd pushed on through this life, led by youthful spark and vigor and heart and pride. But he had also always valued dignity. And... If she couldn't go out with a bang, she could at least go out with a sense of satisfaction. Sore paws dragged across the earth. Deliberate, powerful, determined. The old tom had gone to the trouble of throwing out his old nest himself; living space tidy and vacant, leaving nothing but the scent of lavender in its void. She lay down just outside camp, folding her paws, allowing her body rest. He knew he was sick and frail, drawing his final hundred breaths. Perhaps she had pushed herself too hard. But now, with aching bones and shaky lungs, he felt like he could be proud of his life. She had been true to herself, loyal to her family, and strong to the end. Even if he was just another warrior, feeding the clan, he was important. Her life had been bitter and sweet and sour. He'd faced loss, frustration with the world. She hadn't always been as noble and composed as she strived to be. On occasion, he'd been a bit of a fool. But he still had pride in himself. As for her final wishes to the living world... He saw its flaws. She still held disdain for her clan's leadership. But his clan... ThunderClan was a separate entity. A home, a community, a hope, an ideal. She loved ThunderClan. He hoped it would continue to be prosperous and strong. She was content to watch from the heavens; whatever lay ahead, he was rooting for them. She let her eyelids droop, and her mortal body slept for the last time. --- is this any good? balancing thoughts and actions is always a challenge. also haven't written bim in forever; i'm a little afraid of her being out of character... ah, whatever. bimbleemprise was a rocky journey, and the whole way through i definitely could have written him better... but i'm as proud of him as he is of himself. what a way to get back into tfcrp!!! i kinda vanished for a few months :,p but now i'm slowly but surely getting back into roleplaying here... spruceradiance still has a long time to live and i wanna give him the attention he deserves.
