Larchpaw w/ Berrypaw & Hollypaw | [Blaze β‘ & spaceotterr<3 ]
With all the apprentices on shore, Larchpaw kept a close eye on the water until it suddenly rippled violently when Berrypaw swam back in. Watching the older she-cat float downwards sent a wave of concern throughout the orange tabby's body. "Berrypaw!" she screeched, blindly running to the shore and freezing in place. "We can't keep hunting if you're stuck in the river! You can barely hold on for StarClan's sake!"
Panic swelled in her throat as she looked to Hollypaw for guidance. There was no way that the two apprentices weren't going to do anything about this. They couldn't let Berrypaw just grasp on for dear life and float until they were done hunting. Maybe it would be best that Larchpaw jumped in the water to help out her denmate? She could try to pull her to shore, but with a damp pelt... moving against the current would be too difficult. "Hollypaw, what do we do...?" the young she-cat asked, concern flickering in her green eyes. She wasn't so sure Berrypaw could handle the strong waters herself, so there had to be something she and Hollypaw could do.

Hollypaw with Berrypaw and Larchpaw / river
Hollypaw sniffed at the water in a curious manner. It was weird that fish didn't have scents otherwise it would be so much easier to find them. He lashed his tail once. The young tom's head snapped up as he heard Berrypaw's yowl. He was drifting away from their conservation so he failed to see that his sister was out too far into the current. "Berrypaw!" he cried and instinctively splashing back into the river, heading in his sister's direction, "Hold on!". His green eyes were wide with fright. He paused once the water reached about the middle of his flank and looked back at Larchpaw with a wild-eyed look. "I-I don't know," he couldn't help but stammer. Berrypaw and him knew how to swim but with a current like that? It was going to make them helpless.
Shypaw with Russethawk + others / close by river Shypaw set the water vole down with a gentle purr. Her eyes were bright with happiness, Thank you Starclan. She bent back down to pick up the vole and carried over to a bush, gently rubbing her scent on it so she would remember this is where she hid the prey. She dug a small whole, dropped the vole, and then covered it back in a matter of seconds. The light brown she-cat flickered her tail, glancing around before deciding going near the river would be the best choice.
Shypaw trotted, heading towards the river. She sniffed at the air, trying to catch another scent. If she could catch a squirrel, it would look good. She flickered her tail and paused, as she realized she would hear something or someone. Shypaw blinked for a moment, no-one was suppose to be out this far. Shypaw frowned and shook her head, deciding to forgo hunting to investigate. She crept closer to the river, staying low to the ground incase it wasn't one of their clanmates.
The young apprentice wiggled into the bushes and peeked through them before letting out a gasp, seeing Hollypaw, Larchpaw, and Berrypaw. Where was the warrior they were with? Why were they outside of camp? Were they playing? She couldn't help but feel a pang at hurt. She would have wanted to join them. "Hey guys! What is going on?" she asked before her gaze caught sight of Berrypaw, drifting over in the distance. She let out a surprised gasp. "Berrypaw," she whimpered, her eyes going wide as she came to a stop by Larchpaw.

(Sorry about that!) Berrypaw with Hollypaw, larchpaw, shypaw, weaselbranch, and eventually Russethawk. / Blaze β‘, SandBerrypaw tried to hold on longer, her body soon going under the water once more. Her heart was racing as she continued to struggle in the water, listening to all the cats around her. Am I going to starclan? She thought to herself, she let out a breath of air as if she was giving up. There was no way she could escape this current by herself, at least with her being this weak and exhausted already. Weaselbranch ran forwards as he heard some yowls nearby. He raced forward in long strides and landed beside shypaw, looking around at the scene. He hissed. βWere you with them?β He asked before padding up to berrypaw, racing down the shore. βHold on!β He yowled. βOur of the water, know one go back in!β He meowed to the other apprenticesβ he leaped forwards, trying to wad into the strong current. His paws going and wadding strongly through the water, he was a very strong swimmer. She took a breath in, not being able to hold it in any longer, only being welcomed by a big breath of water, once her head was out of the water she started to cough. She had passed out by the time weaselbranch had reached her. She watched from above as he waded through the water towards her, she watched as he dragged her out onto shore, soon padded towards her body, she looked at her friends and brother. She wasnβt going to leave yet! Though she wanted to see her friends in starclan, she wasnβt ready. She touched her nose and went back into her body.

Chipmunk w/ Finchcall | [Blaze β‘ ]
Hearing Finchcall's amused snort made Chipmunk feel a little more comfortable than he had expected. He then noticed him shaking his head and knew that it wasn't a good sign. He could only imagine the amount of pity he felt for him and soon enough, he cowered by bringing his shoulders up to his neck briefly. He sighed softly, digging at the ground before him with pieces of dirty flying forward. "That's not what I was exactly expecting..." he admitted to the sleek tom's retort, wallowing in embarrassment. "How should I make sure my balance is right?"
He didn't understand. Since when was balance the "most important part of hunting"? The brown and white tom always thought it had something to do with being stealthy and focused, but according to Finchcall, that wasn't the first piece of advice. Instead of showing his confusion, he simply nodded and rolled with the punches. Asking such a stupid question would be, well, moronic and the last thing he wanted to appear was that. Thankfully with Finchcall rolling his eyes distracted Chipmunk from such terrible self regard. "You think? I'll have to ask him if he really believes that," he quipped, purring in amusement.
Even though the black tom seemed to be a harsh critic, the loner couldn't deny he was amusing yet peculiar. There was something about him that seemed the slightest bit off, but Chipmunk couldn't figure it out. Maybe asking would be a better option, although that could create tension. I don't have much to lose anyways, he thought. "Not to intrude, but how did you learn to hunt... properly?"

[ Ooo. I like the idea of them getting a cough and then they will also be scolded for getting sick for unnecessary reasons/wasting herbs.But I am pretty fine with whatever y'all decide to do.oh yeah, Weasel to the recuse. xD He could probably run into Russet & Shy out in the forest before he finds the other apprentices, or he shows up right before Russet. So many options, you do what you think is right. c; I figured if they have a near drowning incident, it would be due to going out to far and getting caught in a current? ] Hollypaw with Berrypaw & Larchpaw / Sand and spaceotterr<3
Hollypaw laughed as both of his fellow apprentices made their assumptions of who would get angry. The consequences might even be fun as well. The reddish brown tom twitched his whiskers in amusement as he followed Berrypaw towards the river, not waiting for Larchpaw. He knew the younger apprentice would catch up easily. Hollypaw couldn't help but roll his eyes as he trailed after his sister, "I can't believe you would say that" he sighed. His green gaze flickering over towards Larchpaw, seeing how the she-cat went from excited to now hesitant, even fearful. "No one is falling into the river," he snorted, the idea was ridiculous. All they had to do was find a safe spot to swim in and catch fish before they sneaked back into camp.

[ Might just be me but what Blaze said seems conflicting to me and I think the drowning cat incident was supposed last for 2 posts or so (if I remember correctly.) It ends super quick here but maybe that's just me. You also rp both of the characters so it doesn't leave much room for the rest of us to interact and I feel like the interaction is important. We can wait & see what Blaze says because I feel like she could clear things up for us and she's the clan's owner, so her say is a final one to me. also, I'm sorry if I'm stepping on anyone's toes here.]

[ Before I say anything, why didn't anyone point out that I put recuse instead of rescue. -facepalm- i am stupid guys, you need to help me with my spelling errors. xD
I do see both of your points because I did say that Weaselbranch can do the rescuing, but then I also see Sand's point as well. like how Weaselbranch was mentioned walking into the warrior den in camp just 10 posts ago and then popping out into the forest feels like a continuity error.
Either way, the interaction after the drowning is the most important part to me personally. This is the part I don't want to be too rushed.
- The apprentices will have to be in trouble so please don't have your warriors be like "oh yeah, it's okay" it would be saying that it's okay to have toddlers free roaming around a pool.
I am not sure how severe their punishment will be. Maybe they will be confined to camp? Berry & Holly's warrior ceremony will be postponed while Shypaw becomes a warrior instead (which is really laughable to me because it's shy. ) Any suggestions for punishments? ]

Punishments, maybe weβll have them doing lame work or something, postponed, getting upset at, maybe not being trusted to go out alone.)

Finchcall with Chipmunk [ Sand ]
Finchcall tilted his head. His yellow piercing as he observed Chipmunk. He never really dealt with loners before. He wasn't sure if this was how it was suppose to go but this was amusing and the loner was making for good company. Even though Finchcall should still be hunting, but what the clan didn't know wouldn't hurt them. "Don't worry, neither did I," he admitted with a gentle huff. Finchcall could tell the disbelief he felt when his mentor told him that he needed to work on his balance. Finchpaw had great balance but apprentice not for this mentor. The old tom had made them crouch for hours and hours until Finchcall was able to evenly distribute his weight among all of his paws. And then he had to learn how to shift his weight without falling over. "Practice," he muttered while making a face, trying recalling the horrid memories from his apprenticeship. "You can figure if you just drop into a crouch for awhile and see if you fall over," Finchcall meowed with a shrug of his shoulders. It would be simplest way. "That or you could try balance on tree branches," he suggested and then added with a small smirk, "However, that option is a little more prone to danger." He wondered what would happen if Chipmunk got hurt and he had to take them to camp. Oh hey Mossystar, this is Chipunk. He is living on our territory and now needs to use our herbs. What a cheeky tom. Finchcall was thrilled. His yellow eyes brightening at the tom's amused tone. "I wonder if it happens alot," he couldn't help but tease back. It was a weird habit though, sometimes other warriors did that. It always confused Finchcall. Not for long since Finchcall would go back to mocking them in a moment later without a care.[ head canon; chipmunk talks in the third person because he is lonely. i am not crying, you are crying ]
Finchcall flickered his tail, "This old tom," he meowed with a fond expression on his face. His mentor was a hardass and workaholic but starclan, did Finchcall enjoy that old brute's sense of humour. "He was my mentor and he taught me everything," he grinned with a gleam in his eyes.
Everything included a lot more than what Finchcall originally thought he was going to get out of his apprenticeship. His mentor showed him how to eat certain berries along with den building and practically every survival skill that Finch would need if separated from the clan. Along with a bit of this and that just incase if Finchcall ever needed to get out a situation.

Heck, he can even scold Weasel. xD disappointeduncle!russet or he could be like "what did i just see" "give me a heckin fright" "why does this always happen to me" "i hate apprentices" "wow" (owen wilson voice)

[ sounds like me every time i'm replying to Holly & Berry because I go back too many pages. ah, the mis-tag situation. my favorite.
that feeling when chipmunk decides third person is his best person ] Chipmunk with Finchcall | [Blaze β‘ ]
Chipmunk wondered if this Finchcall had anything else to do other than spend time with him. Did he have a home or was he just casually passing through and looking to waste some time? Either way, it seemed that he didn't mind his company and Chipmunk didn't either. Though interactions with other cats were rare, this was one he had spent the most time with unless it was a small skirmish over a measly mouse. Yes, he still remembered that day and the look on that rogue's face. It was priceless, in a bad way.
The tom's eyes wandered as the warrior recalled his memories and soon fell upon the trees. Trees? For practicing hunting? That sounds... different, he thought before appearing perplexed. "You think the tree branches would be a good option?" he questioned, scouring the land for a fitting tree. He couldn't climb up a thin one and risk a fall, but a thicker tree would do. He didn't catch Finchcall's smirk quick enough before he started rambling. "Chipmunk will work on his balance then, like you said. I'm sure he will get the hang of it soon."
He came to a pause before lowering himself into a messy crouch. His hind legs were trembling as he tried to keep still but he instead rolled onto his side, panting quietly out of frustration. "How long do you think it will take for Chipmunk to learn?" he mewed, watching the sleek tom's eyes brighten. "You might be onto something there."
Even with Finchcall continuing to talk and go on about his memories, the brown and white loner decided to practice his crouch again. This critter would think with long legs it would be easy, but nooo, he mused, irritation flashing in his gaze. At the sound of "mentor," the feline's ears abruptly pricked up. "Did you say mentor?" Chipmunk asked as if the young tom before him made a mistake. "Everything? Where did you learn all of this? And what is a mentor?"

omg chipmunk "it was priceless in a bad way" how is he still alive?
also i am going to give this coding thing a shot, probably won't keep it around but i will use for a bit. ]
Finchcall Meadow / [ Chipmunk/Sand ]
Finchcall swished his tail as he twisted his head around to follow Chipmunk's gaze towards the forest. He twitched his whiskers as his yellow gaze flickered back to the lanky tom. "I mean it is probably not the best option," he meowed with a slight wince. He could remember the time he almost fell and grabbed onto the tree branch for dear life. He had to go see Shadesong because he pulled a claw. A pulled claw hurt alot, surprising and it wasn't an experience that Finchpaw wanted to feel again, so he focused better the next time.
Finchcall gaped at the tom. He blinked slowly, not positively sure what he was hearing from his older companion. Tree branches were sturdy but it only helped your situation if you already had some sense of balance. He didn't think Chipmunk had balance nor could he even survive falling. "No No No," Finchcall muttered, his gaze flashing at the tom. "Chipmunk will not work on balance in trees," he hissed through his tail as he lashed his tail. "Repeat it with me... Chipmunk will not work on balance in trees," he repeated. The young warrior did not want to be the cause of his loner dying. Could he get into Starclan if he accidentally killed a friendly yet strange loner? He would have to ask Shadesong in a subtle way.
The sleek black tom let out a soft relieved sigh as Chipmunk went to start practice his balance exercises on the ground. Finchcall watched the tom drop down into a hunter crouch. He couldn't help but grimace. He knew the tom had zero training but he didn't realize it was this bad. Finchcall pushed himself to his paws and padded closer to Chipmunk, coming to a step by the tom's side since they already established that either of the toms weren't going to attack each other. "It might take Chipmunk a while," he sighed, staring down at the tom. He flickered his tail.
He twitched his ear. "Yes, my mentor," he meowed, rolling his eyes. Sometimes clan cats forgot that they weren't the only cats in the world. "It's a cat that is assigned to you when you are 6 moons old and they help you learn how to be a warrior," Finchcall meowed to Chipmunk, "Who was your mentor?" The black tom decided to drop down into his own hunter crouch so Chipmunk could see what it was suppose to look like. Your weight had to be even with your legs under your body and your tail tucked so it wouldn't disturb any brush while you tried to hunt.
