digitally xD I've had to do charcoal and graphite for classes so I know the basics
I'm actually pretty happy since I usually can't make red with blue shadow look good and it doesn't look bad yay Finishing that is going to be my project for the next few weeks I'm just scared about the forest, I hate aerial view trees

Quick poll to fill the chapter gap.
If you were a warrior of MapleClan, what role would you play?
for me, I'd love to be a night stalker for the obvious reasons, but honestly I'd probably end up being a runner because I'd rather use my mind and not physical activity of any sort and I'd love the freedom/solitude that comes with it.

I chose Healer. But Kit-Mother was also a possibility.

Honestly I could see you as a stone reader too Y'all haven't seen much of them yet, but they basically do what you do here for the wff, Mint. They are the upbeat encouragers who keep everyone together and happy, and hold the tales of the clan to be passed down and shared. I mean, where do you think I found Mintsplash from?
The only reason Mintsplash wasn't jumping all over Tempest when he was being grumpy was because Ghost told her not to. She could feel his distress and it was actually physically painful for her not to do anything about it. Same with Willow because of Tempest, but I think she would have been taking some of Willow's emotional pain onto herself during that time against orders. At least, I hope that can be canon lol.
I can't wait to go into Lake's pov so you guys can see how the stone readers actually function. They have a pretty cool job.

*is smiling to much for words* Wish I could chose two now. I had to change my chose now that you better explained what they do. Because I love that. XD I love Mintsplash already. I'm looking forward to Lark's POV now as well. Show us what stone reader do all day.

;D
It'll come sometime soon I need something to happen first but as soon as it does yay
tbh I want to have each bg character appear at least once. That's my goal. All these characters feel so good to think about and I want to share that with y'all. I could write a separate story for each of them if I had the time. cx

I would be a runner. I am very organized, goal-oriented and love to plan. I mean, it's not super exciting but I feel like that would fit me best so...

Post by Brownie on Feb 20, 2017 21:25:17 GMT -5
being a runner isn't exciting? I would disagree, but only because you basically can do whatever you want and get away with it. Follow a hunting patrol, sure. Learn herbs, yep. Sit around and listen to gossip, all part of the job. Basically be a deputy without the stress of later being a leader.

hehe yeah you guys haven't really seen any of the ranks yet have you? Might not be the best time for this oops.
Well while I'm doing the writing challenge thingymado, I might as well write little shorts for each of the ranks and what they do so y'all can get a better sense of the jobs.

okay so I've been writing a 'tour of MapleClan' little thing which is fun and interesting while also gives you guys a good idea of what the Clan and characters are like. It's written in a style kind of like The Cats and the Clans (remember that little handbook?) where characters are giving 'you' a tour of the clan for the day.
I have Leader(Mallow), runners(Cirrus), healer(Lion), stone readers(Lake and Mint), and the camp tour(Red) done. Working on Hunters(Snow), Warriors and Territory tour (Heather/Otter/Jay)

we have a lot of people who don't like physical activity eh?
But the tour de la maison is almost done, just editing it a little bit. I want a little better ordering on the camp and territory bits; I got cut off midway through both of them and it's obvious where I didn't get to finish my thoughts lol

Ooh I like the tour! It really helps me to get a good idea of all the positions, and I really love how you made up a ton of new, different ones.

I'm actually thinking of sketching out a few rough maps today just so it's not as confusing to follow along with. and then I promise I'll work on part V

maps are both sketched probably will put the flatcolors on here because it's not likely I'll put more effort into them for a while anyways and they still work well

glad they helped ;D rambling about the pink worlds, not really spoilers for anything, mostly me just rambling about my worlds also, I have no clue whether or not y'all will get to see the other pink areas or not. All of them exist as worlds I've already written in o.o (though the bottom one should more accurately be called ShadowRiver oops) but it may be a little awkward since two of them, like this one, are more 'fantasy' and the other two are pretty close to realism. it would be interesting to see how the SunBirds interact with the Suns here though. Watch Heather have been in cohorts with Diamond that would be the best thing. Flamewing would probably be related to MapleClan/Siva in some way, which is why she temporarily leaves Kestral in New Leaves. ShadowRiver would be the 'normal Clans' whenever MapleClan cats reference how 'normal Clans' act. Kinda feel bad for the ShadowRiver crew though, since both other groups they are closest to (MapleClan and Taken) are both very fantasy rip. Reminder: Shadow(ShadowRiver), Ember(ThunderShadow), Rose(All), Wind(ThunderWind). Taken: Gorse, Mist, Thorn. New Leaves would be a reflected world from this side. Hence the magic and why MapleClan is so connected to Siva. Sunbirds came before all other groups by a good deal of time. Then Taken, then Maple. ShadowRiver is last, and is significantly newer than the others (Just before Blizzardsun, Sunbirds time that would be... somewhere in rebirth, not quite peace yet (before the whole Jasper incident)). ShadowRiver is closer to Taken than to Maple, but doesn't know about either (although both groups' searchers know about each other and ShadowRiver; Maple doesn't talk to Taken because of the curse, despite Taken cats repetitively pleading for their help. Neither go to ShadowRiver for the obvious reasons). GhostClan, on the mirror isle, sometimes comes to this isle for gatherings. Since many of the cats have Sivan origins, this is a great arrangement. I always imagined Ghostflight would have a crazy aunt that lives in GhostClan, hence his name. The city that is near MapleClan is NOT the cities mentioned in either Taken or Sunbirds; Taken city is farther south, and is more a town than anything. A few neighborhoods and a main street. The one in MapleClan is actually a city. It's older than the other two towns, and has large architecture. The city in Sunbirds is again, smaller than this. Both of the towns are like outposts for the same city, and both would call that city 'downtown' or 'in the city'.

FINALLY AN UPDATE the second part was by FAR the hardest thing I've written in a while and I'm actually kinda okay with how it turned out also to be read after reading the part How Willow and Tempest convince the others to join them on their impromptu adventure --- my headcanons
They would have gone for Stonepaw and Sparkpaw first, as they was helping clean up the warrior's den with Redtalon and Thorncrest (who's getting antsy from being contained in the caves so long). Sparkpaw is hesitant, but agrees to come. Stonepaw was more than willing to go, but Adder catches him leaving with the job still not finished yet. Although both Red and Thorn are all for finishing up themselves as it's almost done, Adder is adamant and Tempest and Willow help them finish under Adder's watchful eye until every scrap of moss is in place.
Rosepaw is all for coming and though feels somewhat guilty, promises to bring Lioncloud back some herbs to make up for her absence.
Lakepaw is the last one they find, and he refuses (quietly) to come, telling them how he has work to do here. Mintsplash argues with him and sternly tells him to "go out and enjoy the spring air before you become useless lump of fur". The other apprentices are fully ready to leave him there and leave to go themselves, only to find Lakepaw rushing to catch up with them at the camp entrance, his hackles raised in fear. He doesn't tell the others, but Mintsplash had tackled him and kicked him across the room before shoving him out of the den, screaming at him to leave before he contaminated the Reader's cavern with his "gloomy regret and loneliness". ☾ Cʀᴇsᴄᴇɴᴛ ☽ mintedstar/fur🦇 Owlmoon Tawnyfire ~Sapphire~
