Explore Events as Prompts for Short Stories?

i was thinking it would be fun to use the events from explore to write a little story w yr wolves, like everything that happens within one session of exploring (or just a few clicks, whatever you feel like!) is used to write a short thing.

It would be a fun challenge not to exclude any of the events- if they seem out of character for your wolf then find a way to tweak the wording or something and work them into the writing in a way that makes sense.

I'm definitely gonna give this a shot when I have 15-20 mins spare for writing later, if anyone wants to try I'd love to hear what you come up with! Feel free to reply here and share your stories :3

Here;s a quick attempt at some of today's events! 

Rain Dove felt ill after his brief morning excursion. He had been in the mountains seeking felines and rare herbs at the behest of the red snake, but was distracted as he wandered past a strong scented deposit of poop from some animal. He set about sniffing curiously, trying to determine the origin. Fox? Or maybe a small cat of some kind? Either way, it was impossible to resist rolling around in the stink of it. 

Fortune, the clan’s herbalist- a small, red wolf with a permanently injured hind leg- nodded as Rain Dove recounted this to her. “Well, I can’t blame you for rolling,” she said, “any wolf would have done the same. But it’s definitely what made you ill. Unfortunately, I don’t have everything I need to help you right now… but I will get more supplies and have a medicine made for you as soon as I can!” She hesitated, shy as always, then briefly nuzzled her face against her leader’s thick pale fur. “Thank you,” Rain Dove said in his quiet voice, returning the gesture. “Til then,” Fortune said, “Be sure to stop often for water. If you get tired, it’s best to just come home and rest.”

Rain Dove nodded and gave a small wag of his tail, but left the territory again to resume his quest. He had made a promise to the snake, and even if he had not been the kind of wolf to care about keeping promises, the snake had valuable rewards, so staying home with a minor illness was not an option today.

Meanwhile, Fortune was also venturing out of the territory. She walked south, away from the river and towards the neighboring territory where an ally pack lived. The wolves of Grist were friends, and Fortune knew their herbalist Sherwood well. An herbalist crossing border lines was less of an offense to any pack, so she knew she was safe traveling here. All she needed was a piece of charcoal to complete the remedy for her leader, but Sherwood greeted her warmly and sent her home not only with the charcoal piece but also a large ginger root. When chewed, the juice could ease discomfort in the stomach. 

Despite not feeling his best, Rain Dove walked on through the forest until the damp leaf litter beneath his paws turned to soft, dry pine needles matted on the rocks. Entering mountain territory never felt fully safe; even though he knew he was far from the patrol zone of his former pack. When he had to come here, his pale eyes were always wide, alert, and his tail was held low. 

Perched atop a rocky outcropping, a small creature called out, startling him at first. He saw it was just a pika, signing its little song and happily chattering its teeth. Rain Dove approached cautiously, and, sensing he was not a threat, the pika touched its little nose to his. A little zap of static electricity shot between them and Rain Dove jolted back. The pika, startled, darted away and vanished into its nearby burrow. The spike of adrenaline from this startling but harmless encounter helped him forget his discomfort and he foraged around the rocks for a snack of insects, licked his paws, and continued on his hunt. 

The snake had asked him to bring down two felines that had caused it trouble recently, and as Rain Dove had no alliance with any of the cat families, he was willing to oblige. Soon, he picked up cat-scent on the trees. The pale wolf followed the scent until he spied a bobcat among the rocks. It had sensed him and was standing frozen, its green eyes wide, mouth slightly open to taste the air. Rain Dove did not hesitate- he lunged at the cat. It dodged him deftly, and he only managed to graze it with his teeth. But his next move did not miss. He snapped his jaws and caught the cat by the rump, shaking it forcefully to tear its flesh as it writhed in his grip. Rain Dove released it briefly only to bite again, and clamp his jaws around the cat’s throat this time. It gave one last strained scream before it went limp. Rain Dove had suffered a few scratches as the bobcat flailed desperately, but nothing Fortune could not patch up easily. He held the body with his front paws and gnawed and tugged until the cat’s stumpy tail came off in his teeth. This would be enough for the snake. 

His task complete, the leader of Leaf-Paw clan began the trek back to his own territory with the trophy held delicately in his jaws. Rain Dove did not feel tired because he knew Fortune was waiting for him at home, and the snake would be ready with a hefty reward that would keep his family comfortable for days...

Thanks! Obviously I had too much fun with it lmao, i meant to just write a little thing and ended up with a huge page of text x_x I'd love to see anything you come up with if u end up trying it!
