SNOWFEATHER | Big Park | Eaglestrike
Snowfeather had seen Eaglestrike in battle - battle training, when they were apprentices - and once before against some unruly outsiders. Of course, she'd watched from a distance with her tail between her legs. The thought of flying claws and fangs scared her even more than they did now. It could be surprising, given the fact that besides her well-groomed coat, she resembled any other lean cat, but it was a mental thing. A fear thing. "You're a talented fighter - it makes up for what you can't do in hunting. Not that you're a bad hunter, because you also bring prey into the clan," she meowed. At the mention of training, she felt a knot of fear begin to form in her stomach, but she knew it shouldn't. Eaglestrike was her clanmate, he was friendly and familiar. She hadn't worry about him. So, despite herself, she nodded her head, "That sounds good - I'd like to do that," she meowed. If it wasn't now, it was later that she'd have to learn to at least defend herself.
[ ashfeather, okay! all good, have fun while you're away  ] |

(The past few days have been CRAZY but I was able to throw something up before work. Sorry it just takes me a lot longer to do a reply for a cat than a human since I'm still a bit rusty) Callie stayed with Jackdawstar, allowing him to lead the way to the park. She was equally relaxed in the city and in the park, though it took her a moment to relax after taking in all the sights, sounds, and smells of the park. She noticed the way he listened to her stories, and that made her happy. She knew plenty of cats that would tune her out simply to Callie's enjoyment of talking. She talked, a lot, and it annoyed some of the other cats that she knew. Callie looked proud when Jackdawstar complimented her catch. "Yeah, I think it's more luck than skill because I miss a lot of them, but I've caught a few. I like to do some hunting if possible because the taste of that kittypet slop is horrible," she said with a shake of her head. "But they feed it to me anyway and get worried if I don't eat it. Then they bring me to another twoleg and it just smells like sickness and death," she said. She hated the vet. Callie nodded and sat down to watch Jackdawstar as he showed her how to catch the pigeon. She kept her eyes narrowed as he stalked his prey and eventually made his killing blow. she'd been so focused on him that she hadn't noticed anything going on around her. Nothing bad had happened, of course, but she knew that she should always have her eyes and ears around her. "That was impressive," Callie said when Jackdawstar returned. She stood up, her tail flicking back and forth. She'd enjoyed watching him. "So, should I try?" she asked. "Any other tips you can give me besides just showing me?" aether |

[ You've been a busy bee! And that's all good, my muse varies so sometimes I'll shoot out a long post that takes like 10 minutes and sometimes it's five lines that takes ten hours lol ]
JACKDAWSTAR | Random Park | Callie Jackdawstar couldn't think of anything worse than twoleg slop - or a twoleg place that smell of sickness and death. The medicine cat den could be overwhelming as it was. No matter how he looked at it he didn't think he'd even slighty enjoy the life of a kittypet, but he didn't judge Callie. It's not like she could help being a kittypet any more than he could help being a wild cat. After dropping his prey down, he nodded to himself, I'll just tell the others I went for a stroll and a hunt - that way no one will wonder why I was gone so long, he thought to himself.
He tilted his head as he thought about all the tricks and tips for hunting. "Try and make sure you stay downhill, so they scent you or detect you coming. And stay low to the ground too, so you don't bring too much attention to yourself. There isn't really a way to sneak up to a pigeon and grab it without it noticing, you just have to be quick, but try and get as close as you think you can before you sprint! You'll probably have to jump for it too." He explained. He knew it might be a lot of information, so he added, "But don't worry if you don't catch anything this time, or don't do it perfect. It takes a lot of practise, that's why I'm here to help," he smiled to her warmly. |

 DarkpawDarkpaw never liked Thunderpaths. Of course, he couldnโt think of anyone who actually did, but he felt he had almost a fear of them. It took him a while to scan the Thunderpath for the moans of the metal monsters, and then he bolted across like lightning, his tail Ike that of a squirrelโs and his eyes wide like saucers. Just as he hit the far side, a roar thundered behind him, and he turned to see a massive dark blue car- one that seemed to hold a cavity on its back that carried some objects Darkpaw hadnโt seen before, and had tires that were spiked and grooved- sped behind him. If he had hesitated just a bit more, that thing could have killed him, he thought before returning to what he was doing- even though his ears were always flicked towards the Thunderpath, as if the cats could somehow fly off of it. โSo how many geese are there at this park?โ asked Darkpaw once he caught up to Sedgepaw. โAre they aggressive, or...?โ

(That's so true And yeah I've been pretty busy. I thought I'd have today off but it turns out we're having a party so idk how much I'll be able to be on then :/) Callie nodded as she took in Jackdawstar's advice, trying to think through everything he said. It was a lot of information, but it all made sense. "Alright, yeah, that makes sense," she said. She took a moment to look around the park for a pigeon. She spotted one, but it was soon chased off by a two leg that was waving it away from whatever it was eating. She spotted another one, this one undisturbed as it did whatever it was that pigeons liked to do. She took his advice and kept herself low to the ground as she took soft steps. She felt like a fool, but she'd seen Jackdawstar do this and hoped she looked half as graceful and experienced as he did. Though she did hunt and had actually caught a few things, she still felt clumsy and ungraceful. When she got close, she leapt at the pigeon. She actually came pretty close, but it flew just out of her grasp and she fell to the ground with nothing to show. She frowned and watched the pigeon fly away before returning to Jackdawstar, shaking her fur out. aether |

Sedgepaw | Towards Big Park | Darkpaw @redheartofriverclan
While Sedgepaw waited on the other side of the thunderpath for Darkpaw to cross, she waved her tail in boredom. "C'mon Darkpaw!" She yowled across, "It's not that bad!" Of course, she didn't understand Darkpaw's fear. When he did make it across, she noticed his puffed out tail and his wide eyes, and she tilted her head curiously. She struggled to empathise with Darkpaw's fear, but when he didn't mention it, neither did she. In response to his question about geese, she shrugged her shoulders and kept on walking in the direction of the park, "Sometimes - especially in greenleaf. But it's fun to run from them when they're mad," she giggled. She'd been chased by geese and she'd done the chasing, but she had yet to experience having her tail nipped by one. When that happened, maybe she'd reconsider how fun it was. She walked, over confidently, towards the Big Park. She shouldn't seem so high and powerful, when she was just a small apprentice.
JACKDAWSTAR | City Park | Callie .
As she moved off, low and quite, Jackdawstar crouched down too, "Just like that, great," he whispered as she moved further away. His ears stayed perked and alert, his nose twitching to distinguish any scents. It seemed relatively safe for the time being, though. He followed Callie from a distance to ensure she'd be safe. He did notice her placing her paws a little too heavy, her body moving too quickly to remain stealthy. But, he didn't worry. He didn't expect her to be an expert - she'd not practised before so she couldn't be. When she returned with nothing in her paws, he smiled warmly. "That was great!" He purred, "I think with some practise, you'll be an amazing hunter." She definitely had potential, that was for sure.
He glanced up to the sky where the sun was slowly making its way down. He knew he had to return to his camp sooner or later. He figured he'd be back tomorrow, so he wouldn't be gone too long. "I think I need to get going - my clan will be needing me." He did sound reluctant, "Did you want to, uh, walk you back to your home?" He wanted to make sure she was safe, plus it would be nice to walk to with her if she wanted.

Callie smiled at Jackdawstar's praise. She'd caught stuff before, but she knew it was usually just luck since she'd gotten so little training or practice when it came to hunting. She wanted to be a good hunter, but she also didn't see it as a necessary skill. She had her twolegs to feed her. She knew it was much more important for Jackdawstar and his clan to be good at hunting. She wished she could've caught something so she could send it back with him, or at least offer to share the prey with her new friend. It's been a while since she'd eaten with someone else. She followed his gaze up to the sky, watching the sun. When she heard him say he needed to return, she couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. Yes, it made sense, but she would miss Jackdawstar. His offer to walk her home surprised he she-cat, but she nodded. "Yeah... That would be, uh, nice," she said. She stretched slightly before walking close to him. His fur was warm and she liked the feeling of it next to her. "Are you coming back tomorrow?" she asked suddenly. aether |

DarkpawFun? Darkpaw shriveled his nose. In whose sane mind was running from a potentially deadly beast fun? He opened his mouth to speak, but figuring he was too far gone by now he shut it immediately. It was a few moments later that he spoke up again: โAnd youโre certain this isnโt going to kill us?โ He stepped back realizing he hadnโt been thinking, that there was a snarl in his voice- and backed down, waiting for her to call him a dirty coward- like everyone else did.

JACKDAWSTAR | various parks | Callie
.
Jackdawstar felt his pelt heat as Callie walked close to him, he felt like he'd light up in flames from the warmth of his blush. He glanced away shyly, but didn't move away. He liked having her near, her presence was soothing even though he didn't know much about her. "Of course I'll be back tomorrow - we need to help Oliver," he meowed with a slight crack in his voice, which was fixed after he cleared it. It made him blush harder and he felt like he'd explode. "I can meet you at your house, I'll know where it is since I'm walking you back there," he suggested. He stopped for a moment to pick up pigeon which he had left, and he moved forward an extra few places to hide it at the base of a tree. He'd return to it on his way back from escorting Callie safely back to her home. He moved back, slowly, with a shy duck of his head, to walk close to Callie.
Sedgepaw | Big Park/Pond | Darkpaw
@redheartofriverclan
Sedgepaw's ears stood up at Darkpaw's snarly tone and she flicked her tail quickly. "I do this all the time - it's fine.
Besides, if I goose does try to eat you I'll eat it first!" She finished with a cheeky smirk on her face, and an amused sparkle in her green eyes. While she often times struggled to understand Darkpaw's emotions, she accepted them. She didn't feel the need to scoff or insult him when she saw plenty of others did. She liked the idea of just treating him like everyone else. She saw he was filled with fear but he was going with her anyway despite it - to her, that made him brave. He faced his fears even when his tail was between his legs. "You're faster than them, we have four legs and they have two stumps - it's fine." She reassured, and as she did, she saw the Big Park come into view. "We're almost there!" She squeaked. |

(So I'm doing chemistry homework right now and looking for any excuse to not to do it so you picked a good time to post! This gave me a break from my work!) Callie was slightly surprised when Jackdawstar didn't move away, but she was glad. She liked having the tom near her. He made her feel safe and warm and happy. They were odd feelings that she hadn't felt much, though she normally felt safe around her two legs. They didn't hurt her, but they definitely didn't make her feel the same way that Jackdawstar did. "Great!" she said with a small purr. "Oliver is dying to get out of there and it'll be nice to have a real conversation with him again without that piece of glass between us," she said, her claws tearing at the grass and soft dirt underneath her feet. She didn't like seeing her brother so upset. She led the way but kept close to Jackdawstar. Her house came up much too quickly and she stopped walking, looking up at her fence. "Well, I guess this is goodbye? Until tomorrow at least?" she hesitated. "It really was nice meeting you today, Jackdawstar." Her words were quiet, as if embarrassed to say them. aether |

[ hail yeah! immaculate timing haha. how is homework going  ]
JACKDAWSTAR | Park | Callie
.
Jackdawstar enjoyed their walk, even though time felt like it flew past too quickly. He didn't know why the knot that formed in his stomach did - but it tightened when they made it to the fence, and it constricted when he opened his mouth to say goodbye. The thought of returning the next day gave him some relief, though. Cut it out, Jackdawstar, he thought to himself, you're being a mousebrain! He nodded his head, a smile curved on his lips. "Until tomorrow, I'll come back here. I'll come here after I go on patrol, soon after dawn." He told her. He stepped forward and bumped his head gently into Callie's shoulder. For a moment he took in her clean, wonderful scent. But then he stepped back and straightened up, "See you tomorrow," he said it shyly, before he turned and headed back the way they'd come. He glanced back once,
yellow eyes bright, before he burst into a run and bounded back to where he'd left his pigeon.
[ CUTE. okay, so, we can skip to the next day if you'd like. was also wondering if you wanted to do something with kestrelclaw and willowstorm? right now i have to get off ( :c ) but need to catch a train so won't be on for four hours.
might get reception on my phone to post a bit of chat here and there though. ]

(Also do you want me to post the starter for Callie and Jackdawstar the next day? I can post it but won't be on when you get back on cause that'll be like 2am
And I'd be up for doing Kestrelclaw/Willowstorm as well. I'm still thinking about possibly putting her into early retirement/nursery permanently (depending on the injury or whatever I give her). What do you think? I mean I might not do it or i might do it to one of my other cats... but I've been thinking about it)

I think being cruel to your characters is perfectly acceptable xD I think something would be fun, to any of them. Even if like, Mistykit or Fogkit had something happen. Or Willowstorm got injured and had to retire and it strained her and Kestreclaws relationship somehow. Drama! ]

(It's 11 pm and idk how to do the last part of this one problem. I tried something and ended up with 2600% error so I don't think I did it right...? I'm hoping my lab partner will be able to help me before lab tomorrow...
Sounds good!
Oh I love being cruel to my characters.... hmmmm....
Maybe Mistykit and Fogkit could leave camp to explore and end up in some kind of trouble. Willowstorm realizes they're missing and she could go out on her own and eventually find them and rescue them for danger and get injured herself?)

Timezones are weird. And life is weird. Right now it is both 11pm for you while you study chemistry, and also right now it is 4pm for me on a train heading to my 2nd home (basically my 2nd home lol).
I think that sounds fun! Leaves the kits somewhat scarred, Willowstorm hurt (:c ) and kestrelclaw upset he couldnt have been there to help! I can post a starter for that too later. ]

(I hope so. He's a lot smarter than me but busy so it's hard to meet up. My school doesn't have classes from noon to one though so I'll see if he can meet up then. And then I'll see if he wants to be partners this week
I know time zones are super weird. Any annoying...
Sounds good. And the kits are all freaked out so maybe Kestrelclaw is on patrol and the patrol finds them or Jackdawstar could run into them on his way home from seeing Callie?)

(Yeah our lab is really small and there's two really smart girls (but they always pair up) and a really smart dude so I'm working on securing the dude all semester because he's smart... I mean I like to think I'm decently smart too but he's better...
Aw poor Kestrelclaw... Willowstorm would've gotten more cats (and him) to go with her but she didn't think the kits got into that much trouble... I'm thinking she could be taking a nap and tell them to play for a little bit and one of the kits come up with the idea of sneaking out. What kind of trouble should they get into? Attacked by a dog? Two legs? Something else? Cause it's gotta be something that wouldn't be instant so that Willowstorm has time to get there and put herself between her kits and whatever trouble they got into)

Kestrelclaw could be out of the while she goes off, but returns before they do. Maybe the two kits could get into trouble with some water, amd when willowstorm helps them, a dog comes out without a leash so it wants to get them. ]

(I'm trying! There's like ten kids total and I'm trying so hard to end up with him instead of the other two dudes that are always looking for partners....
That could work. So the kits are just kinda stranded/struggling to swim and Willowstorm gets them back to dry ground but then has to defend them from a dog? And that's when she could get injured. Aw i feel bad for our cute little family)
