Welcome to the world of Carpe Diem, an intermediate/advanced, stray cat, play-by-post role-play.
Magic is not allowed, but creativity is and if you enjoy role-playing or simply love cats then this is a great place for you.
If you have any questions, contact Indigo.
The voting for the July OTM's are currently open, so if you haven't sent in your votes yet, well, don't blame us if Sea bites your limbs off.
Activity checks are going on again- please see the announcements for more details.
For April's Member of the Month, I am proud to present to you: Moonz! She's been awesome around the site and did a great job getting back into the swing of activity and encouraging others to do the same. Her character, Tempest, is cute and well-played and Moonz posts actively with her. And then there's the fact that Moonz is just always here. Seriously, if you're ever looking for her just head to the cbox and I can almost guarantee you she'll be chatting away with someone on another. She's got a great, friendly personality and not only that - she helped us fix up some coding problems and has earned the prestigious title of 'Coding Technician.' Ergo, I think that for all the reasons above, Moonz definitely deserves this award.
I can use one word to describe Kestrel: cold. (this is a complement) Kestrel is probably the most manipulative bitch the world of kittens has ever seen. The offspring of Stellar Snowpaw and Indigo Wintertrap, Kestrel has had her share of bad times. Kestrel is uber-cool and very fun to role play with. I wouldn't want to get in her way if I were you. Everybody loves her personality, and she's very unique. Kudos to Lu! :3

Apo and Stella are both great role-players and this thread hilights each of their talents. Moon is crazy as usual - only this time she's spouting off her gibberish is another language - and Fawn is eager and up for the crazy (and criminal!) antics they get up to. Comical and sweet at the same time, this thread is a great read if you're looking for something to make you crack a smile.
All in-character posts that you make must be at least 100 words in length.

A Winding, Stretching Path... The old road winds and stretches out from the outskirts of Nenbrook to the beautiful Silvercrest Woods. It is here that many humans decided to abandon their cats when they can no longer handle them. It is here that many a cat has commenced their journey as a stray and it is here that you will do the same...
Chershire A small, cozy neighborhood on the very outside of Nenbrook, Chershire is a quiet community of humans. Many stray cats are seen wandering through the streets and along the sides of the roads and are usually tolerated by the humans. However some can be nasty so cats must keep their wits about them when travelling through here.
Shire Market A couple minutes away from Chershire lies a small market dubbed the Shire Market. A couple stores have been built here for the humans convenience however behind the little strip mall are tall silver cans of garbage and waste not wanted by the store owners. Many a cat has eaten their fill from here however the store owners are not at ll tolerant ad will not hesitate to throw out an unwelcome feline- literally.

The Town Dump Every town needs one: a dump. Every morning, garbage trucks come out to the dump from different parts of Nenbrook and unload their trash. For the most part of the day there are a few humans who work to unload trash and deal with what has been brought over by townspeople however if a cat is careful, he or she can usually manage to plunder more than enough to satisfy their hunger. Just be careful not to get caught!

Laurence Barn A small run-down barn stands near the road. Once a beautiful red and white, the paint has now faded and chipped and it is clearly in need of some serious work. Loose boards provides easy entrance into the barn for any small creature, such as a cat, who wishes it. Inside can be found many squeaking rats that the farmer does not mind at all to be killed.

The Chicken Coop A couple metres away from the barn is a small coop where the farmer keeps his chickens. An indoor shed offers protection during the night while a fenced in area outside lets them be safe during the day as they peck around for seeds. Be warned: unlike the rats, the farmer will mind if his chickens are killed and a similar fate might await any cat he catches.
The Pumpkin Patch Further back is the fields is a large plot of land which the farmer uses to grow his pumpkins during the fall. They make a wonderful sight, all large and round and orange and are quite fun to play amongst, especially for young kittens. During the spring and summer, the farmer uses the field for growing strawberries however all year round it is referred to as 'the pumpkin patch'.
Fisher Park Just outside the woods is a small park where the humans bring their children to come and play during the day when the weather is nice. Some will throw tidbits of food to stray cats seen wandering around but others are quite suspicious and unfriendly to any strays they see and will shoo them away from their children without a second's hesitation.
Inside the Woods Inside the woods it is calm and tranquil, a lovely place to sit alone and think. The woods are large and spacious and the dens foliage provides both cover and warmth for the strays who live here. Humans are rarely seen and when they are it is only along one of the few paths that wind lazily through the woods.
Thorton Stream A small stream banks the park and then winds through the woods in an S. Small fish and minnows can be seen swimming down slowly and occasional frogs can be spotted as well. The stream is shallow enough for an adult cat to wade across but kittens should be careful. Even so the waters just at the banks is shallow enough for the little ones to splash around on hot days while their parents relax in the shade. During the winter the stream is completely frozen.
Gentle Slopes The town of Nenbrook lies in a valley, encircled at one end by the slopes of the Bellsborough Hills. The hills rise up here and it is densely wooded - small creatures scurry underfoot amidst the many hikers' trails. Though they go on for a while, their slope is not steep and it is still fairly warm at the top.
Bell Mountains The hilly slopes rise up to meet with the Bell Mountains which form a neat semi-circle at the edge of the valley. The mountains are rocky and contain much less foliage than the wooded hills. The openness can leave one quite cold, at risk to the wind and altitude. But the vantage point as one looks down into the valley makes it worth it.
Echoing Falls A small spring lies near the top of the mountain and feeds a small stream which grows in size as it winds through rocks and moss on a small plateau. It widens out to be several cat-lengths in width before the rock beneath it plummets downwards in a sharp cliff. The water crashes over the cliff's edge in a booming waterfall, the great sound of which earned it its named. After a while, the water calms, flowing down through the hills to the woods, where it is named Thorton's Stream.
