Sootpaw rolled his eyes at Littlepaw winning. She need to get a backbone and stop being such a brat. If this was battle he was surely going to win no matter what. Her words went in ear and out the other as he growled. Oh for Starclan sake! "Well you just shut you mouth,please and stop wining! How are you going to get your warrior name if don't start acting like one!" He snapped tail lashing against the ground. As the conversation between Graystar and Littlepaw he quiet down but his temper still flaring. No, he wasn't going to let such a weakling get under his skin. He knew better than to pick a fight in front of the leader. "I hope you get a mentor just as weak as your mother. At least my parents are strong and both survived." He whispered a ear shot away from the ginger molly.
Everyone had to be strong or there never going to be any order in the world. You train to gain strength and show your cat loyal. You have big expectoration and if you fall them at any moment. You let the whole clan down. Showing weakness is an option. That's what Sootpaw was taught and has never know regardless of what family or what anyone else feels. It's the way of the world,right? He padded away taking a spot close the high branch to see this ceremony take place. Graystar, who are you going to pick?

Sagepaw >> Paleflower Sagepaw watched as Graystar walked away to go join Badgerslash, Sootpaw, and Littlepaw. She quickly glanced around the camp to see if her littermates were awake by now, she noticed Rainpaw walking around the camp, and Crowpaw near the freshkill pile talking to a small kit. She turned back to her mentor and let out a small purr “I am always ready Paleflower.” She stood to her paws ready to follow her mentor out of the camp. - camp → forest // w/Sagepaw
Paleflower's eyes followed those of Sagepaw's and she noticed her stare towards her other littermates. The medicine cat felt doubtful at times because she would have never wanted to put a cat in this position if they didn't want to. I'll prove to Sagepaw that even if the power of a Medicine Cat is different than a warrior's, it is still just as strong. "Let's be off then, we'll head towards the two-tail stream. Many of our herbs grow around marshy areas or wet areas, so we may only have to visit there today." As soon as she finished her sentence, Paleflower rose to her feet and padded towards the camp entrance, hoping Sagepaw was following close behind her. Since the Two-tail stream was a bit far away from camp, the medicine cat quickened her pace so that they could make it in time to collect plenty of herbs. "Make sure you're keeping your nose in the air since in a forest land there are many herbal flowers that we can use for healing. Keep an eye out for different barks and cobwebs too." Paleflower had hoped that she wasn't going too quickly for Sagepaw, but to her understanding, it seemed as if this young cat was a fast learner and could most likely understand the different scents of herbs, and the appearance of certain herbs in no-time.

Echokit walked one paw into the nursery and instantly ran back out after making sure the coast was clear and that she wouldn't be caught. She quickly dashed to the entrance of the camp, which she found by using Crowpaw’s scent as a trial. The small kits amber eyes glowed like fire. I am finally out she looked around at the thousands of trees that towered over the camp. She padded over towards the nearest tree and started to slowly climb it. She was soon on top of a long branch midway to the top of the tree, the kit soon realized how tired her small legs were getting and figured it was indeed time to return to the nursery this time. She looked down, her eyes going wide I am a long way up. she started to panic, her heart rate accelerating. I don’t know how to get down... she started to meow as loud as she possibly could, hoping some cat would hear her ”Help! Help!”
- forest // w/Echokit
Rainpaw had been busy pawing at the dirt for what felt like forever. From the moment he exited the Apprentice's den this morning, he had only been able to groom himself and stare at others, since everyone seemed to be busy amongst themselves and his mentor was not around. He was busy staring off into space when he noticed a little black flash fly out the camp entrance. He cocked his head in confusion; not really understanding if his mind had just been playing tricks on him, or if he actually saw something disappear. Maybe I should go check it out? I've got nothing better to do. While the apprentice was busy making a decision, he noticed the leader climb up on to the high-branch. Yep, now I'm definitely going. Therefore, Rainpaw quickly scurried out of camp to avoid a boring clan meeting, and to see if he could find anything interesting nearby. After taking a few steps into the woods, some strange sound perked Rainpaw's ears up, and he headed towards the noise. This better be something interesting. These days have been so 'important' and 'serious' lately! Talk about boring. He stealthily approached the area to where he heard the sound, but the closer he got the more and more it sounded like mewling. Rainpaw's eyes widened at the thought of seeing an injured cat, or a kit being taken away by a bird, this caused him to quicken his pace to where he found Echokit. His eyes followed along the trunk of the tree up to a little black furball sitting on a branch. "What are you doing up there? You could get eaten you know." He said this in a joking, but somewhat concerned tone as he started to make his way up the tree.

[ embercurse, I had this idea earlier today, but what if Graystar lost his first life before the finding of the spiritpool/star cave? I was thinking it could be something extremely shocking, and he would be able to connect with starclan for the first time. maybe he could see a vision that leads them to the star cave or something. This is only an idea though! ]

[ Sand take your time, and feel better! ^^ ᴘᴏʟʏᴏɴʏᴍᴏᴜꜱ yeah, gosh if you had broke something I can't even imagine how awful that would be :/ I've never broken anything, only sprained stuff i freakin love that idea! <33 oh that's so good. the clan would probably believe him to be dead for good because it's a known fact he doesn't have his nine lives, but when he dies and sees starclan, they tell him it shouldn't have ended like this--that he really wasn't supposed to die. so they intervene and give him his second life and he comes back. and, like you said, he could have a vision from them while he's 'dead' that gives them a hint or whatever of where to find the star cave, when paired up with that hint that paleflower heard in her dream. then the medicine cats can communicate and he can receive his remaining lives. you are brilliant <3 btw, i really liked that line in paleflower's dream ^^ "remember to follow the Sea" i think it was once he comes back with his second life, he and paleflower could discuss, and then i'd have him set up a patrol of cats to go searching by the sea cliffs bc i don't want to monopolize all the fun ^^" so graystar would stay back at camp cause i figure he'd still be recovering from dying anyway, and just make a separate trip to get his lives with paleflower and another cat, idk, later now i'm wondering how he should die? i like the idea of it happening in a shocking manner, and i also think maybe it could happen where the clan is able to be involved, so like a minor threat comes along that affects the clan and graystar dies? idk i have to think about it more. let me know if you have any more ideas ^^ ]

[ embercurse ahhh omg yes I'm glad you like it!! I'm thinking of maybe giving Paleflower a couple/few more dreams like the one she had before, maybe giving her more signs as to what will be coming. I was kind of thinking that Graystar could somehow maybe fall off the edge of the cliffs? Maybe do some type of Scourge vs. Firestar type of thing, but I guess we don't really have a cat to take Scourge's place atm. If not he could always go out on a patrol or something and get attacked by a predator - I also just thought of maybe having foxes invade the camp, but that'd be pretty serious. ]

Post by embercurse on Dec 29, 2018 22:26:26 GMT -5
[ ᴘᴏʟʏᴏɴʏᴍᴏᴜꜱ yes to the Paleflower dreams, I like those ^^ hmm, we could always try combining those ideas? like maybe graystar and some other cats are on a border patrol, and as they come to the sea cliffs, they scent foxes and stumble upon maybe three or so (depending on how many cats go on the border patrol just to give the clan a fighting chance). the patrol and the foxes fight, and maybe graystar and one of the foxes get locked in battle and accidentally go over the cliff together? so both the fox and graystar would die. then, maybe later (like a few moons later), the clan could discover a fox's nest? so somewhere on the moors, there's a group of foxes living in a large nest/den. and i'm thinking maybe the foxes scent the cats after they stumble upon the nest, and perhaps follow the cats back to camp? so then we could have the whole 'foxes invade the camp' idea, where a battle would ensue. cats could die/get injured, it would be a great way to get everyone involved, etc. ]

Mousefoot;; on the moors with sparrowchirp and crowpaw He watched his apprentice carefully, ears flicking. As she spoke Mousefoot opened his mouth and inhaled as well, to verify what she told him. He could taste the mice scuttling through the grass, a few squirrels, and had to focus and tilt his head up to catch the scent of the birds she spoke of. He paused and breathed in again to try to tell what they were--thrush, it smelled like, and the duller scent of crows.
"Very good," he said, looking back down to Crowpaw. "We can try for mice, for now, but if you see one of the birds, here's what you do." Mousefoot dropped into a hunter's crouch, demonstrating as he talked. "Birds are different in that you can't run them down, so the key is to get them while they're on the ground. You can treat them like other prey then. If they sense you and take off, though, you have a moment where you can pounce and bat them out of the air, before they get out of reach." He tensed his hindquarters and gave a little spring and a swipe with his forepaw. "It's a harder technique to master--it requires good timing, reflexes, and quick thinking--but I believe you can do it. Give it a try, if you get the chance."
Mousefoot sat up, flicking his ears forward. "Now, do you think you're ready to hunt, or would you like to practice your crouch?"
Crowpaw narrowed her eyes as she watched Mousefoot demonstrate the crouch. It was like the normal hunting crouch, but with basically a battle move at the end. She paused as she considered the offer, whiskers twitching thoughtfully. "Let's start hunting. We'll see what I can do in the moment." She lifted her head again to pinpoint the scent of the nearest mouse, then swiveled her head that direction and started walking. She would start out with something simple first.

[ ᴘᴏʟʏᴏɴʏᴍᴏᴜꜱ yeah, I would want as many members as possible to be involved when that time comes, but it's a ways off so we can table that for the time being that makes sense. the apprentice would let the clan know, the clan would be shocked and whatnot, maybe sad (idk it depends on if the cats like graystar lol). the rest of the patrol could find a way down to where graystar is to retrieve his body or something, but once they get down there graystar pops back up c'x ]

Badgerslash >> Elder’s Den → Camp
Badgerslash poked his head into the Elder’s Den to see if any of the elders were awake yet. After ensuring that the elders were awake he dropped the plump squirrel he was carrying with him and urged the elders to eat. Badgerslash had a deep respect for all of the clan's elders, they inspired him with their stories ever since Badgerslash was a young apprentice. Since then he makes it a priority to visit the elders whenever he was the time to do so.
He was going to stay in the den and share tongues with the elders, but then he heard Graystar start Littlepaw’s mentor ceremony. He turned to face the elders and bowed his head in apology ”I will be back as soon as I can.”
He padded out of the elder’s den and walked into the camp clearing, finding a spot next to Sootpaw, listening as Graystar spoke.

Echokit >> Forest >> with Rainpaw
Echokit looks down from the tree branch she was on and looks down at her rescuer with her eyes full of terror. That is the apprentice that I saw walking around camp when I was sharing tongues with Crowpaw!
Her eyes changed from being full of anger to appreciation when the apprentice started up the tree to rescue her. She weakly smiled at the apprentice ”I was following Crowpaw, but I lost track of her scent and I got bored waiting for her so I figured I could explore until she came back. So I climbed up this tree to look around the land but got tired and realized I don’t know how to get down.” she took a big deep breath and looked the apprentice in the eyes, starting to finally calm down. ”I’m glad you found me before something else had. How did you even find me?”

Mousefoot;; on the moors with sparrowchirp and crowpaw
He sat beside Sparrowchirp and watched Crowpaw stalk away, thinking he'd give her some space to hunt--it wouldn't do to have her mentor trailing behind her, breathing down her neck and scaring all the prey away. He fluffed up his fur and gave his chest a few quick licks, casting a glance at the she-cat beside him. Sparrowchirp seemed to be enjoying the sun, her face relaxed, and he felt that small knot of worry for his sister loosen. Whatever hold her nightmare had held over her, it seemed to be ebbing away, and he was glad.
Mousefoot shuffled in place. "So..." he meowed, trying to affect a casual tone. "How do you think I did?" All of his teasing aside, he valued Sparrowchirp's opinion a great deal. Surely she would know what a good mentor ought to look like, and if he was it. "I mean, that was okay, right? I didn't talk too much or too little, it made sense. I think. It made sense, didn't it?" He realized he was chattering out of nervousness and shut his mouth with a click.

[ for some reason, I really enjoy seeing these two interact; yellowfang & cinderpelt vibes are strong ]] shaledust | accompanied by whitesea | camp Shaledust didn't mind Whitesea's company at all. She was beginning to find that the molly was great company and easy to talk to which is something she desperately needed right now. After all, communicating with Dashflight in this very moment would be difficult seeing as he was out and about. A purr rose in her throat at the mention of having her mate and kits by her side-- it was true, she had both of those. She loved Dashflight unconditionally, no matter what could ever come between them. And their only kit... together, was an everlasting replication of their love.
"I'm sure you'll have your own litter soon, Whitesea!" she meowed encouragingly. "It takes some time to decide if you really want kits, but I think if Dashflight and I didn't have one... and now our second litter, things would be different."
It may not be Dashflight's litter, but I doubt she'll figure it out. No one knows about the truth besides Snowstreak.. and me.
The silver grey she-cat quickly padded after her friend before reaching a halt briefly, her gaze flitting across the crowd of felines. "It might be an issue with the apprentices, maybe? Neither Sootpaw or Littlepaw look happy about it."
She glanced at Whitesea before asking, "What do you think? Why would Graystar be involved if it's some foolish fight?" [ tags: Aria ]

Sparrowchirp // the moors // with Mousefoot & Crowpaw Sparrowchirp wanted to tease her brother and get him back for all of the jabs he had taken at her today, but she decided against it. Sparrowchirp really didn't mind that Mousefoot liked to joke around--it honestly helped the warrior remind herself that she never should take life completely serious. Clan life could be tough enough, it would be unbearable if she were unable to find even a little bit of joy or humor in anything.
Plus, the she-cat could see through her brother's facade. He acted nonchalant, but Sparrowchirp knew that Mousefoot really was concerned about how he was coming off as a mentor. He needn't worry--she thought he was doing a wonderful job. Crowpaw seemed to listen to him, and Mousefoot didn't appear that nervous in front of his apprentice.
Still, Sparrowchirp was aware that those nerves existed and that Mousefoot was doing his best to beat them back. "Stop doubting yourself, Mousefoot," the she-cat spoke in a soft tone, so that her words wouldn't be taken harshly. "You did great. If I were just learning about catching birds, I would be able to follow your instructions just fine." The warrior let her tail tip rest on his shoulder. "You are training Crowpaw well--she will make a great warrior."
After speaking her words of reassurance, Sparrowchirp allowed her tail tip to wander over to her brother's ears and flick across them teasingly. "Now lets stop gabbing like a couple of elders and catch some prey, hmm?" With that, Sparrowchirp scented the air and stalked off ih the opposite direction that Crowpaw had gone in.

gulldrift | with stormcloud & breezepaw | camp Gulldrift did his best to keep up with Stormcloud and Breezepaw, but moving at such a pace when he was old and lazy wasn't the best combination around. He stopped a few times along the way to the camp entrance just to waste time even if it wasn't proper of him to do so. The senior warrior couldn't help but grow content when Stormcloud laughed. Though her conversation with her apprentice was a tad dull to him, that didn't mean he wasn't interested in following along. "I'm not too tired, at least not yet," he told her, letting out a mrrow of amusement at Stormcloud's comment. He decided to tease her, but only a bit for now. "Just wait until you get old like me, Stormcloud; you'll be regretting those early mornings and wishing you had slept more while you were young."
His whiskers twitched briefly before he got to his paws again after a short stop, this time moving a bit faster than he had prior to. Once he heard her teasing reply, Gulldrift rolled his copper colored eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. "Hey, I'm not in the elder's den just yet! I get out of my nest every day or two, you know, just to stretch my legs before grabbing a piece of prey and heading back to the den. I'd say I'm very active compared to all the other senior warriors," he retorted jokingly. A loud purr of amusement followed. "It's fine, I think it might be time for this very active senior warrior to brush up on some skills and take tips from the youngsters." [ tags: 86 & ᴘᴏʟʏᴏɴʏᴍᴏᴜꜱ ]

[ okay i officially love these two ;u; ]
Mousefoot;; on the moors with sparrowchirp and crowpaw
The brown tomcat listened to his sister, and as he did the poorly masked fretfulness in his expression eased. Sparrowchirp's faith in him was like a balm to his anxiety, and the fur that had ruffled up on his shoulders and back as he spoke slowly smoothed to lie flat again. He nodded at his paws, really trying to take her words to heart, before looking back up at her with gratitude. He knew she was telling the truth, because Sparrowchirp never did anything but speak her mind, so her short sentences did more for him than a hundred others from any other cat would. At her assurance that Crowpaw would make a great warrior, he puffed up with pride.
"She will, won't she?" he said, and sprung to his paws to follow her lead. He tasted the air and checked the skies for any birds that might prove a threat--finding none, thankfully--before he stepped quietly in the direction Crowpaw had gone. He would keep his distance to allow her to hunt on her own, but he wanted to be close just in case. There were any number of animals that could prove a threat to an apprentice out here, and a full-grown warrior besides. It never hurt to be careful.
[ so should something Happen on this outing? rping just hunting isn't the most riveting of subjects xD ]
