(wah wah, back from Orientation! Gentle reminder that the activity check is coming up!)
Minnowheart's whiskers twitched at Heatherkit, amused at the kit's playful attitude "Well certainly it will be interesting to learn new things from new cats, right?" She asked the young cat, remembering when she as a kit wanted to stay in the comfort of her den- even then, she was somewhat timid. She knew it wasn't the same for Heatherkit, but the idea was the same, she guessed.
Her fur warmed though at Rootkit, the more timid of the two kits, and she purred down at her "Well thank you Rootkit. I've always thought you would make a good apprentice" she meowed warmly.
-----
Mosspaw skirted into the clearing, his fur bristling with excitement "Of course I won't make fun of you! You're older than me anyway, you don't think it's a fair fight?" He asked somewhat curiously. he hadn't trained with Shadowpaw all that much, but he knew that she had a tendency to worm her way out of situations, so he wouldn't be surprised if she had somehow avoided proper training.
"If you're worried let's just start out slow"
-----
Owlshadow followed the two apprentices scent trail with Ripplestorm for a bit longer before running into Briarpaw. The apprentice was obediently waiting, the other cats not in sight. "Briarpaw, where are the others?" Owlshadow called out, padding up to the apprentice with Ripplestorm

Shadowpaw shrugged. "Alrighty then, sure!" She backed away from him, trying to give him a chance to attack first. She then thought against this, and rounded on him, pretending to claw his ear, but instead reaching underneath him with her other paw. She was slightly unbalanced by the move, so to make up for it, she jumped as far away from him as she could, trying to avoid possible defensive attacks.

"I guess so!" And she could finally explore!. With Larkeye it was, 'be careful of this, don't touch that, dont even THINK of that- oh it's raining you'll get a cold- did you chew that small enough?" And Speckleclaw always told them to mind their mother, even if he was gently trying to remind Larkeye that the sky wasn't falling down around them.
"Either way. I'll be a better apprentice than Briarpaw!" Her mentor would at least do something. Briarpaw never complained, but Heatherkit thought he should.
Rootkit gives Minnowheart a shy smile and warms at the praise, "Thank you Minnowhear-" Heatherkit had quickly pounced on her sister- Minnowheart simply didn't need to pay her that much attention unless she was mentoring her.
"Look what I can do Minnowheart!" Heatherkit boasts as she pins Rootkit.
"Heatherkit you're heavy!- off of your sister!" Larkeye quickly diverts her attention to the kits again.
~~~
Briarpaw stands quickly when he hears Owlshadow, "oh!- they...headed back to camp. I just wanted to make sure you knew so you werent waiting or looking for us..." He pats the ground near the mouse Ivypaw and him caught, "Look what Ivypaw and I got!"

Lilysun watched the kits in amusement from off to the side. Her ears twitched. Their wrestling was expected, but she didn't think Heatherkit was heavy enough to squish Rookkit. Her gaze shifted over to the medicine cat den. She always wondered if she would have made a better medicine cat than warrior. Were wanting kits a good enough reason to follow a path that wasn't the best for you? She avoided fighting and hunting as much as possible, which meant she wasn't contributing to her clan as much as she probably should be...

Mosspaw stiffened in surprise, failing to dodge Shadowpaw's mock attack with a clumsy step to the side- inadvertently putting himself right into her paws. He recoiled with the jab underneath him, and rolled to the side, allowing the force of her push to throw him out of range. Once back on his feet, he pushed forward his paws outstretched for a frontal paw blow, hoping Shadowpaw was still slightly off balanced from her jump backwards.
--------
Minnowheart let out a mrrow of laughter, watching the kits play-fight. Secretly, she hoped she would get one of the kits as an apprentice- she could definitely see her and the timid Rootkit getting along well. Their apprentice ceremony couldn't be that far off, right? She stiffened a little bit as Larkeye cast her protective glance over- would she be mad that Minnowheart had been encouraging the kits? Queens could get very protective sometimes...
------
Owlshadow snorted, casting his gaze around. "They left you, an apprentice, alone out here to wait for us? I knew Blazestep was a lazy furball but I didn't know he was so irresponsible too" Owlshadow growled, his tail flicking irritably. "Briarpaw, you obviously have enough sense to stick with your clanmates. You pass this assesment." He meowed curtly, biting off the end of his sentence. Ivypaw, on the other hand...
He shook his head, casting away his disappointment. The tom had so much potential- so why was he so frustrating to train?

(yet being the keyword for ivypaw xD and I love the theme of corruption so, excellent)
The two kits tumble for a while before Rootkit finally wiggles away and stiffly moves to her fish and starts to eat it. She would NOT share with Heatherkit.
Larkeye looks to Minnowheart and taps her tail against the ground, "come over here and eat? Tell me how the warriors have been." Hearing things like that never soothed her, they made her spine chill and her heart race, but she liked to know her clan was well cared for. Warriors like Minnowheart were nice.
~~~~
"I don't think they thought we were supposed to wait-" he rushes to defend the two, especially his mentor- did no one think he was competent? "Ivypaw even did the final blow- so we both passed right?" And not like Ivypaw would have been much better had he stayed, then two apprentices would have been left alone with no warrior..

"Oh, everything is great! Briarpaw's training is coming along really well, I think. Blazestep is sort of laid back so they don't go out terribly often, but I think Briarpaw makes up for his mentor's lack of enthusiasm with his own. Everything seems to be looking up now that Newleaf finally seems to have come to the forest" Minnowheart prattled on, trying to be optimistic. In truth, she was still a bit nervous to travel out to the east of the mountain. After they had found Yellowclaw dead, she couldn't help but feel anxiety over the prospect of meeting a dangerous entity out there...
-------
Owlshadow cut his eyes at the apprentice "Ivypaw's assesment is his own business, Briarpaw. And a warrior should know better than to leave a patrol half finished in the forest- we go out as a group, we come back as a group. Is that understood?" He meowed curtly, not having any patience for the apprentice's weak defense. Briarpaw might not know better, but Ivypaw and Blazestep certainly were trained long enough to know not to leave a patrol half- finished, especially if you happened to find something like blood in the forest. He would have to speak to Blazestep, though he wasn't sure what good it would do...

Ivypaw paused and set down the bird he'd caught to watch the two apprentices spar. His black pelt kept him concealed pretty well. His whiskers twitched. Neither was very good, but at least they were practicing. Ivypaw didn't have many cats to practice with given his current skill level. After a few more moments of watching he picked his catch back up and headed back to the meeting spot.
Blazestep stretched out in the sun. He'd put his prey back, although it didn't look like Briarpaw had come too. Maybe the apprentice wanted to do some solo hunting? Or were they actually supposed to meet back where they started? If they were, doubtless Blazestep would hear from Owlshadow later. That would a be joy. The deputy was such a stickler. Yellowclaw was nicer.

"Ah...that's good to hear." Blazestep was one of the safer mentors in her opinion. His lack of motivation kept him from pushing the apprentice too hard- however there is unease that sits with her at that thought. Did he push him enough to prepare him so he could take care of himself...? Briarpaw was to be a warrior, he needed to be prepared, even if Larkeye herself would rather drag him back to the nursery.
"I'm glad the season is finally changing. We need the food with all these mouths"
~~~
"Yes Owlshadow." Briarpaw snaps to attention quickly and keeps his voice respectful. "I understand. We go out together, we leave together." It was a safe policy. If a cat didn't come back then they'd know something bad had happened... but besides that bit of blood earlier, the mountain seemed safe, really.

Ivypaw finally made it back to the proper meeting spot. His whiskers twitched. Owlshadow didn't seem terrible pleased, but when was he ever? He set his other kill down as he joined them. "I think Blazestep went back." He flicked his tail. He'd seen the flash of red pelt and decided to leave it be. If the tom hadnt been listening earlier, then that was his fault.

(Good job Ivypaw, narrowly avoiding rebuke lol)
Owlshadow narrowed his eyes to slits as Ivypaw creeped into view from the undergrowth outside the meeting spot. He tried to ignore his disdain at losing the opportunity to scold the apprentice- he felt like Ivypaw deserved it, despite narrowly making it back to the meeting spot before the rest of the patrol departed for camp.
"Yes, well, I'll have to have a word with Blazestep. He should know better than to leave apprentices alone in the forest, no matter how competent they think they might be" Owlshadow meowed pointedly, not saying anything about the assessment, but noting that Ivypaw has caught another piece of prey in addition to the one he and Briarpaw had managed to get. It was difficult to scold the young tom when he constantly performed so well.
"Alright, let's all get a move on. We need to make sure Blazestep made it back to camp safely." He ordered gruffly, thinking to himself, It wouldn't be too terrible if he hadn't made it back...
-----
Minnowheart nods sheepishly "Yeah, sorry we couldn't bring you back more fish.. they're just really small and fast right now because it's so early in the season.." She mewed, hoping Larkeye wasn't feeling too uncomfortable with her clan's ability to take care of her and her kits. But surely the kits would be hunting for themselves as apprentices soon, right?

"If I may be honest. I don't think Blazestep should have a apprentice." Ripplestorm mewed looking over at Owlshadow. He hoped that Munestar would see reason and have Ivypaw switch a different mentor.

Post by Novi on Mar 30, 2017 21:19:02 GMT -5
(Ikr xD not Blazestep tho)
Ivypaw picked his piece of prey back up and followed his mentor. He figured there wasn't much of a point in telling Owlshadow that he and Briarpaw had been left alone to hunt. Besides, he never asked to be left alone so it wasn't like he was talking about being competent or anything. It had been Blazestep's choice to head back without the others.
Halfway back to camp, Ivypaw's was pleased to see that keeping his eyes up paid off. A dark red streak was stretched out across a couple branches. How the tom managed to sleep in such uncomfortable positions, he would never understand. Blazestep must really like his sleep... He wondered if Owlshadow would notice. And if he did, would the deputy knock the warrior down? Or just call up and try to wake him that way?

Owlshadow grunted in response to Ripplestorm's comment, not wanting to make any kind of menacing comments in front of the apprentices. True, he wouldn't have been the least bit upset if Blazestep just didn't come back one day from patrol... much like their poor, dearly departed Yellowclaw. But he figured this was not the company to express such wishes in.
His thoughts were interrupted by a slash of red against the forest green- Blazestep's body lay sprawled out over a few branches high up in the treetop. Ivypaw seemed to spot the tom as well but said nothing, likely waiting to see what the other would do. Typical Ivypaw...
"Leave him" Owlshadow growled "I'll deal with him later". He quickly moved the patrol onwards, deciding that if Blazestep thought apprentices could be out on their own, then he would have no problems protecting himself. They padded into camp, dropping their kills off at the pile. Flicking his ears about, Owlshadow searched the camp for Blackbrook. The medicine cat always seemed to have calming words to support him when he felt angry.

All cats aged 1 moon, and the front page has been updated for accuracy.
Next Activity Check is 4/15/2017
Just a quick reminder as to what qualifies as "active" per the clan rules:
" You must be active at least once a week. Higher ranking characters need to be on 3-4 times a week, RPing actively. Prophecy/plot cats and high rankers can and will be replaced if you aren't active enough. Activity checks are always announced beforehand, and passing multiple activity checks will put you on the short list for high ranks. "
If you have been labeled inactive I have sent you a PM with more details. High ranking characters receive 1 warning before being replaced in RP. Other characters who are inactive for more than 2 Activity Checks will be removed from RP or put on the short list for death pools. Please contact me if you have questions.

"No... Moonstar, but we can always hope." He takes a moment, as if to recall the omen. " Clouds shall cover the stars and darkness will shadow the clan. Only the light of dawn can bring an end to the night." He makes a thoughtful sound, "As always, Starclan is vague with their words..." Moonstar thinks for a moment, her eyes gazing off into the distance. All my life I have served this clan. Yes, I have made some mistakes alone the way, much as any cat does... why are the ancestors testing me now? First, they take away my loyal deputy, and now this foreboding prophecy?"Ancestors help us.. surely the clouds will pass? The sky is always cleared after a time.. you don't think the prophecy could be referring to one of the clan cats? Do you?" She meowed questioningly. Perhaps it was about more than one cat.. her mind immediately went to Dawnripple. Was she the dawn that the prophecy spoke of? |

(blazestep, making himself one of murder cats targets through laziness x'D not that Larkeye isnt a target bc of nerves.. >v>)
That jab may not have been specifically targeted at Briarpaw- it could have been at Ivypaw, just wandering off in the woods by himself- but it sure did feel like it was for him. Then there were always comments about his mentor.
Sure, against Ivypaw he would lose right now..but he was learning... ... Would they think differently? He had to be a warrior- and a good one at that.
And of course...there is his mentor. Sleeping in a tree. This time, Briarpaw keeps his head down and follows after the patrol... He just needed to go back to camp.
~~~
"It sounds like they shall... Dawn... Dawn" he grooms his tail as he thinks, eying the leader, "Always so vague, but so specific. I have thought on it, to me it seems it speaks of Dawnripple." How convenient too. The cat was mischevious, and he had heard whispers in the dark forest... This would work out wonderfully while he figured out the rest. His voice turns soothing, "it doesn't seem too dire, my sweet leader." And things had a way of lining up exactly how he wanted them.
~~~
"You did wonderfully, Minnowheart" Speckleclaw speaks before his mate can.
Larkeye gives him a side glance, but nods in agreement, "they are always small this time of year. You two did the best you could."

(Blazestep is 100% a target lol but he's not in immediate danger, lol. )
"Doesn't seem too dire.." Moonstar repeated, as if trying to convince herself of his soothing words.
"Alright, if that is what you feel. I trust your judgement- please let me know if you find out anything else" She meowed, getting to her feet. Her paws felt somewhat unsteady below her- age, she figured dully. Perhaps she might ask Blackbrook for some strengthening herbs later, if he could spare them. There always seemed to be enough for Ripplepelt, after all..
Her ears perked, hearing voices outside her den. "The dawn patrol must have returned. I'll want to know if they've found anything on the east side of the mountain, where Yellowclaw was found" She meowed, dipping her head at Blackbrook dismissively.
-------
Minnowheart nods appreciatively, especially at Speckleclaw, for his kind words. She wondered briefly if it was just them trying to not make her feel bad- realistically, the catch was not that good. Her thoughts are interrupted by the sound of cats approaching through the tunnel into camp.
"Oh! The dawn patrol must be back! I wonder if they've caught any prey as well" She meowed, tipping her head to the side. "Briarpaw will be back too, if you want to say hello to him, Larkeye"
-----
Owlshadow marched his patrol into camp, dropping his kills at the pile and making a beeline to the medicine den. After noting Blackbrook's scent as stale, he takes a seat outside the entrance, watching the camp with a scowl. His irritation was fully piqued at Blazestep, as well as his know-it-all apprentice, and he stalled on the matter of reporting to Moonstar, not wanting her to know about the blood they found, lest she send out another patrol to go look for information pertaining to Yellowclaw's death.

(Haha. I know right :3 But he is a skilled fighter so it would be interesting if Owlshadow went after him
I'm so proud we're gender-even X'D)
Ivypaw set his prey on the pile back at camp before finding himself a corner in the shade to curl up and watch the camp's activity. He wondered what would happen to Blazestep when he came back. How long were his naps usually? Ivypaw hadn't paid much attention to it before, but maybe now he would...

Ripplestorm drops his prey into the pile and lets out a small yawn. He moves to the warriors den and settles down next to it. He starts to groom his fur and debates on whether or not to go back to sleep.

Blackbrook nods and stands, "of course, as soon as I have more news, I will tell you." He perks his ears and peers out of the den, "it seems they have. It will do you good to mingle.." ah yes. Yellowclaw. What an unfortunate accident. "I shall be around if you need me, I should go see if they need anything." He slips from the den.
~~~
"Oh!" Larkeye turns her attention to the camp entrance to see them slip in. "I'd love to go see him!" She turns to Speckleclaw and the kits- she hesitates.
She wants to see them, but...the kits-
"I'll watch them" Speckleclaw assures and Larkeye waits a moment longer before nodding and heading to go find Briarpaw.
Briarpaw freezes once he drops the mouse and he sees his mother stalking towards them.

Lilysun paused in her groomed when Blackbrook came out. She probably looked silly mid-lick, but she couldn't help it. He always reminded her of what could have been if she'd been a medicine cat. All the clan seemed to look up to him, but Lilysun's skills weren't suited for a warrior's life. If she couldn't be a warrior, did she deserve to be a mother? She quickly finished her task and slid over to him, somewhat shyly. "Good day, Blackbrook." She mewed quietly.

"Ah. Sweet Lilysun" the tom perks his ears in interest. "How are you faring today?" He gives her a look over, "You are looking well." He had thought that when she was an apprentice she may have been his, but he had she had turned to the warrior path; Blackbrook knew she expressed a fondness for kits, however.

(Who's ready to see poor Lilysun be corrupted worse than Ivy? *raises hands*  xD) Lilysun felt her pelt warm. She knew Blackbrook was just nice, but it felt good to hear him call her sweet. "I'm doing alright. Although, I should do something... (like me XD) How are you? Is there anything you need help with?" She tilted her head to one side. She wondered if he'd visited their leader for something special, or if it was just a usual progress report. Whatever progress that might be. |
