((Would be a hell of a plot twist XD))
Mimi and Emiko With Tawny
Mimi yawned as she followed the rosetted Medicine Cat into her new den and settled down. "Of course you're welcome," She replied, keeping relative still so Emiko could examine her, "I wouldn't have offered otherwise." Her sharp eyes flitted over Tawny's face. She looked nervous, so Mimi shrugged, rolling to expose her belly as Emiko nudged her. "Honestly, while I've had a litter before, I'm still a little nervous," She revealed as she was poked and pressed, "I only had one in my first litter and Oli was an easy kit. Quiet little thing." She huffed as she was allowed to sit up and turned to Emiko. "How amny this time?" She asked, shaking so her fur lay flat again.
"Three this time, Mimi," Emiko replied happily, beaming with joy at the thought of so much new life in the clan. "Sure to be little ruffians growing up around so many of you dangerous, feral, forest cats," Mimi teased gently, getting a swat to the shoulder with Emiko's tail. "Same goes for you as Tawny," Emiko informed them, "More meals and plenty of rest."

Shorty & Jasmine with Oliver & Eagle
With so little time to react, the fox growled as Jasmine latched onto the side of their throat. A snarl followed as the sharp claws and weight of Oliver dug into their back. Jasmine dared to switch focus briefly to check on their clanmate as the fox bucked. They had to narrow their eyes, finding it hard to tell what was fox and what was cat. Odd, but interesting, they thought.
By this time, Shorty saw the opening Oli had given and swooped under the rancid-smelling creature. Trying not to breathe too much, the stumpy tom jumped and twisted to dig his claws into the soft underbelly.
Pearl with Winchester
"Pearl," the patched cat meowed. A snapping branch caught her attention briefly, yellow eyes following the sound in hopes of seeing prey. When there was nothing she spoke again, "Did your mother name you then? My Upwalker named me." Really she couldn't say she remembered her mom, or her dad. They were taken away so early that there was no time to bond. She supposed she missed them less because of that though, nothing like if she were ever separated from her brother.

Oliver With Jasmine, Shorty and Eagle
Oliver grinned savagely around the fur in his mouth as he saw Shorty go for the underbelly out of the corner of his eye. He snarled as the fox bucked and growled, shaking his head and pulling, tearing a strip of fur as he was flung off the fox's back. He was thrown far enough to hit a tree, making the tom hiss in pain. Still, he shook off the pain of the aching bruise already beginning to radiate through his shoulder, throwing himself back into the fight, this time moving to latch his teeth on the other side of the neck from where Jasmine had clamped their teeth.
Mimi and Emiko With Tawny
Emiko turned to her stores, considering the herbs she did have. Mimi on the other hand was looking at Tawny. The younger she-cat looked worried, almost horrified. "Tawny?" The worry in the Queen's voice made Emiko look around as Mimi sat up and leaned closer to Tawny. "Is there something wrong, Tawny?" Mimi asked, leaning her shoulder up against the other Queen's.

"Uh... I'm fine," Tawny said, diverting her gaze. "Just irrational worries, I guess." She paused, before sighing. "My old mate... he isn't the best cat. He's done this before with other she-cats - pretend to be in love, get the kits, get out. I ran away after I found out I was expecting his kits, but even though he's back in the city, I can't help but worry that he'll find me and steal the kits after they're born..."

Mimi and Emiko With Tawny
A vicious hissing made Mimi start as she stared in dismay at Tawny. Her eyes slid to Emiko. The normally placid and pleasant she-cat's fur was standing on end as she growled lowly. "That fox-hearted, snake-tongued mouse fodder!" Emiko spat, moving over to Tawny's other side and pressing against her, tucking her small head into the young Queen's neck in comfort. "Don't you worry, Tawny," Emiko continued as Mimi licked over Tawny's ears in comfort grooming, "If that rat-dung tom shows his face around here, we'll tear pieces off him and send him running. You're Clan now. Family." Mimi purred in agreement, fluffy tail curling around the two.

((Waiting is what I was doing..but Gooseberry hasn't been online since the holidays, and partlycloudy has been on recently, just didn't post. So we may just move on? Just work around the characters they had in case either come back. We'll finish up the fox fight and then.....anyone have any ideas?))

((Yea those sounds like good ideas. Jasmine had a small dream about a mossy boulder that they want to talk to Emiko about..maybe Emiko can be having visions of it already too? Definitely I don't have a solid idea of where they'll find it, so feel free to take control over that bit. Like we are now past where I had planned out so what either of you decide I'm pretty much going to go with. Plus you've both been around the longest and I haven't disliked a single thing either of you have come up with.))
Jasmine & Shorty with Oliver and Eagle
When Oliver rushed back to the fox, Jasmine was in awe. A sudden shift caught the cat large cat off-guard as the fox collapsed. They released their grip and hopped back, muscles still tense as they readied for a secondary attack.
"Fox dung!" a startled cry came from under the creature. The fox got up on unsteady paws, swaying as they snarled at the group before slinking off toward the Twolegplace. From where it had laid, Shorty stood and shook his pelt. "It's gonna take ages to get this stink off me," the tiny tabby complained. His muzzle wrinkled when he went to lick a spot on his shoulder.
Shifting their attention from the retreating fox to the frazzled tom, Jasmine snickered. "Better than their blood," they teased. Looking to the others, the gestured ahead. "We should mark this spot heavily and continue on our way."
Pearl with Winchester
"Must have been a good friend," Pearl commented. With her attention on the larger cat, the patchy girl wasn't looking at her surroundings and stepped on a twig. The snap startled not only her, but a squirrel who had been foraging nearby. The prey darted past the cats in order to get up the tree next to them. On instinct Pearl felt her legs give chase. She tried to leap up the tree to grab the squirrel, but they were already a tail length away by the time her claws stretched out.
When she landed, Pearl glared up at the tree with an irritated lash of her tail as the squirrel chirped angrily from above.
Badger & Berry with Emiko, Mimi & Tawny
"Gray tabby tom named Smog? He won't make it within a monster's length of you, or your kits," Badger assured Tawny, walking up to the she-cats with Berry. Both cats were covered in dirt and grass, furs brindled dust and green. The cat sounded somewhat familiar to the large tom, someone he'd knew in passing from his own time in the Twolegplace. Whatever the case, it left an unsavory feeling with him.
Berry's whiskers twitched as she nodded firmly in agreement. There was a small fire in her amber eyes.

"I agree," Eagle mewed quietly, still panting. He was definitely out of shape, but hopefully, Clan life would whip him up some muscles. "We're over halfway around the territory now. We have to finish marking it out by dusk." He paused, glancing towards Jasmine. "You should probably decide on who the deputy is going to be, as well. No Clan can function without a deputy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Try to watch your paws," Winchester advised. "Your instincts carried you well for an inexperienced hunter taken off-guard, but it's a lot easier when your prey doesn't know that you're there. Come with me, I'll demonstrate," He gestured with his tail, padding off. It appeared that he'd be mentoring Pearl, at least for today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thank you," Tawny mewed warmly. "He... He does this to a load of she-cats. He wants his own group of cats, so he fakes being in love with a she-cat, has her carry his kits, and once the kits are weaned, he kills the mother, and teaches the kits to be loyal to only him. I only just got out in time, but he'll still want the kits..."

((Heh, I don't mind chipping in ideas. I'm terrible at making decisions though, I get too wound up. I did have an idea for where the Mossy Rock is. You described the Camp as being near a creek, so Emiko could have a vision of following the creek to the source of the water in a rocky area with an underground cavern of sorts where the boulder lies. A hole in the roof of the cavern could let in the moonlight where it shines on the rock.))
Oliver With Jasmine, Shorty and Eagle
Oliver panted as the fox ran off, fur bristling with indignation. Catching his breath, the quiet young tom felt his fur settling as he turned to blink at Jasmine, ducking his head in agreement. He began marking the area, concentrating on the areas that smelt more heavily of fox, before perking his ears up at the mention of Deputy. He knew he was nowhere near in the running for the position - He had little knowledge of Clans or of organising other cats and little interest in holding the position at the moment - But he was still interested in who was going to become the Deputy. He remembered Jasmine speaking of it and the other ranks on the way to Camp yesterday.
Mimi and Emiko With Tawny, Badger and Berry
"Vicious rat," Emiko grumped, pulling away from Tawny to smile at Badger and Berry. "Hello you two," She meowed, padding over to greet the pair, "How is the Nursery coming along then?" She lifted a paw to gently swipe a clump of dirt from where it was stuck to Badger's head, only just resisting the urge to giggle at them.
Mimi nodded, curling her tail around Tawny protectively. "Don't you worry at all," She mewed, smiling, "There'll be a lot of cats watching your back and that Shadow fellow seems like the paranoid sort, so I doubt he'll let a strange cats anywhere near you."

((All of those are excellent ideas. The mine was my favorite place for meeting StarClan, and I liked it better when more than the medicine cats had access to them. Also I've seen a lot of celebration ideas for different events, like wow some people have such fun headcanons for things..I think SnakeClan will have parties pretty much with apprentice/warrior ceremonies. And they'll be having a huge one for this first naming ceremony. And honestly Dark Forest 2.0 is always a thing for me, one of my old rp's with a friend explored that before too and I loved it.))
Jasmine & Shorty with Eagle & Oliver
Hearing Eagle's suggestion, Jasmine nodded. "Yes I've been thinking about that," they said while carrying on. Shorty followed the group, falling in next to Oliver while wondering who the obvious leader was thinking for their second in command. He figured it would be someone who'd been with them for a while, someone they'd trust easier. It seemed like they'd walked to the ends of the world by the time Jasmine halted the group. Shorty looked up to see that it wasn't even sunhigh, yet they were back at camp.
"We're halfway done, I'd say we deserve a break before we get the west border set up," Jasmine explained as they pushed past the ferns.
Pearl with Winchester
The hot feeling of embarrassment died quickly from Winchester's offer to teach her. Head high, Pearl followed after her new clanmate, watching him intently. She remembered Jasmine talk about young cats being apprentices in order to learn about clan life and survival, even with her age would she be a 'paw' instead of a warrior thanks to her experience?
Berry & Badger with Tawny, Mimi & Emiko
Badger sat incredibly still while the spotted cat reached a paw to free him from some dirt. He blinked slowly in thanks while the others continued to talk.
"We've got it cleared out and stabilized. It just needs some nests and decoration I think," Berry informed. She thought about it for a moment before adding, "I'll see about hunting some birds, the feathers would be good."

(What if they had a celebration every time there was a litter of kits, too? With the parent/s and the kits getting flowers/pretty stones as gifts? That could be cool.)
"I agree," Eagle mewed. "Setting borders is tiring work. I remember that border patrols always used to come back exhausted when I was a kit," He continued, reminiscing. "By the way, are we going to use official Clan names, or are we going to keep our original names?" He asked. "And if we change, are we picking our own names?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winchester walked for a couple more paces, before pausing, scenting the air. "Can you smell that?" He asked Pearl in a whisper. "Mouse. Fresh, too. It'll be around here somewhere. Stay very still and quiet, and prick your ears. See if you can locate it." He already knew exactly where the mouse was, but wanted Pearl to learn how to find prey herself. She'd be a strong Clanmate one day.

((Haha, I love all of this. ^^ It's gonna be so much fun. I'm gonna start Emi on the path to finding the stone then.))
Oliver With Jasmine, Shorty and Eagle
Oliver yawned widely as he pushed through the ferns, following Jasmine. He perked up as Eagle spoke. He considered having to change his name. He knew that most kittypets left it to their twolegs to name their kits and he was no exception. "Never liked my name," He meowed softly, voice as quiet as always, "Would like a Clan name. Think my Mother would too."
Mimi and Emiko With Jasmine, Tawny, Badger and Berry
Mimi flicked her tail at Tawny. "We'll both be without a mate to raise them, but we'll have the Clan now at least," She purred, yawning slightly as she leaned against her fellow Queen, "To be honest, I was so worried before Jasmine found us. Our twolegs had lost all interest in us to the point they barely fed us and Oli is a decent hunter, but asking him to feed five mouths all on his own..." She shook her head, drooping slightly, "My kit's father is a decent cat, but his own twolegs moved away and took him with them. I wouldn't have known where to even start looking for him to see if he could help us."
Emiko chuckled at Badger, touching her nose to his shoulder as she ducked past the pair. "Feathers would be good," She purred at Berry, pausing at the exit of her new Den, "It will be softer for the kits as well. If Mimi and Tawny feel up to it, they can help collect moss for the nests, but nothing more strenuous than that." She gazed sternly at the two Queens. "I'll be back momentarily," She nodded to the group and slipped out, heading for the sweet burbling creek she could hear. She smiled at the clear water and leaned down to drink.
Leaning a little too far, she gasped as the cold water touched her nose, making her eyes widen. She froze as she could clearly she herself in the water, Jasmine by her side as they followed the stream. She marvelled at the yawning cave they descended into and came to a great, mossy stone. Gasping, Emiko lurched back and desperately dragged air into her lungs. Settling, she glanced up at the clouds, a small smile making it's way onto her muzzle. "Tonight then," She mewed softly and bent down to drink, before turning and heading back to Camp. She was pleased to see Jasmine there when she returned and padded up to the Leader. "Jasmine," She purred, bristling with excitement, "I have to speak with you."

"I think that I'd like a proper Clan name, as well," Eagle mewed. "I left my birth Clan when I was still a kit, so my name is still technically Eaglekit." He snorted with laughter, before continuing. "I think that personally, I'd choose something strong for a full name. Like Eagleblaze, or Eaglefang."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Our kits will grow up alongside each other," Tawny mused. "They'll be the first cats born into the Clan, won't they? The first cats to be born and raised in our Clan. Isn't that something?" She purred softly, glancing around. "It's safer here, and we're the trailblazers for a new way of life here. That's something to be proud of."

((Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess! Have either of you played the Untold Tales warriors game that someone made? You can pick up Twoleg rings and give them to the kits! Imagine cats thieving to get good gifts for the new kits. Bc that's exactly what Pearl is going to do when it's settled that there's going to be parties.))
Jasmine & Shorty with Oliver & Eagle || Emiko
Hearing Oliver's mumbles, Shorty nodded firmly. He didn't really like his name either, it always felt undignified and he never forgave his Upwalkers for "gifting" him with it.
After a hum of thought, Jasmine rolled their shoulders in a shrug. "I thought I'd rename everyone, but why not give cats a chance to reinvent themselves?" There was a gleam in their green eyes when Emiko came to them. Their fluffy tail waved as they greeted their friend. "Coincidentally, I need to speak with you too," they said before turning to the others. "If I'm not back by sunhigh, Eagle's in charge of the west border."
"So Emi, what's on your mind?"
Badger & Berry with Tawny & Mimi
Pelt tingling with excitement, Berry turned to look at the two expecting queens. "The first clan-born cats, it's so thrilling to think about! If no one minds, I'm going to hunt some birds so we'll have plenty of feathers for the nursery," she trilled.
Badger looked between all three cats before nodding. "You go ahead, I'll help them gather moss and make sure they don't do anything more..ah, that's if either of you want to gather moss," the large tom said, stumbling over his words as he realized he started assuming things.
Pearl with Winchester
Pearl's eyes narrowed as she began to concentrate. Her striped ears swiveled as she listened for any telltale noise that would help her find this mouse. A mix of soft crunches and squeaks came from the left, and Pearl crouched low to the ground and began to sniff. Deep breaths brought all kinds of scents to her nose and she did her best to sort through them. Something she couldn't pinpoint caused her mouth to water. Is that the mouse? she wondered. The patched cat lifted one paw up to start stalking toward the prey, but she glanced over to Winchester in a moment of doubtfulness.

((Oh my gosh, that is the cutest thing XD I'd imagine Shadow being really practical about it and stealing like, really soft blankets and clothes for the Queen's nests.))
Emiko With Jasmine
Bristling with excitement Emiko paced in front of Jasmine. "I was going for a drink and something happened," She purred gleefully, barely able to contain herself, "I've never experienced it before. I think it was a vision from StarClan." She paused and turned to Jasmine, beaming at them. "I saw myself in the water. You were by my side and we were following the stream," Emiko explained, "There was some sort of cave and when we went inside..." The Medicine Cat trailed off, closing her eyes as she remembered the awe she had felt. "A boulder," She murmured, the same feeling echoing in her voice, "Taller than any two-legs I've seen and covered in moss. It glistened in the light that filtered through a hole in the top of the cave. It was... Beautiful, Jasmine." She sighed happily, opening her eyes and grinning at her Leader.

((Shadow would definitely be the most practical cat burglar))
Pearl with Winchester
Confidence refueled, Pearl moved on with sure footing. Her yellow eyes scanned ahead to make sure the path was clear as the scent of mouse grew stronger. It felt like ages when the rather small thing came into her sight. The patched cat froze as her mind scrambled to decide on what was next. The mouse hadn't noticed her yet, she noted the breeze was in her favor and the mouse was focused on eating. Pearl's whiskers twitched when she worked on calculating the distance between them. She took another two steps before bunching her muscles and springing forward with claws outstretched. There was a brief moment of satisfaction..until the cat landed on solid ground. Her eyes got wide quick, darting to see the mouse scurrying into tall grass. With an aggravated huff she chased after it. Another leap and she got ahead of her prey, causing it to scramble and turn around once more.
Jasmine with Emiko
"A moss-covered boulder.." Jasmine repeated in an unfocused mumble, their mind cycling through their dream in rapid fire. Their whole body trembled before they bounded off downstream with a simple shout, "That's it!" It was as if the wind itself was carrying the leader-apparent, they hardly felt the grass under their paws. The enthusiasm cleared from Jasmine enough for them to slow down just a few monster-lengths from camp. They slowed to a halt and turned to wait for their dear friend. This wasn't meant to be a solo journey, after all.
