"It's not that," Apple corrected Aspen with a twitch of her tail, "It's more about the fact of a new unknown area that I am not exactly comfortable with," she confessed. Apple liked to be comfortable. There was so many unknown factors in this moving to a new area that just made her stomach ache with nervous pangs. She gave a small nod, at least Leo scanned the area. She hoped nothing else lived where they were going to settle. Apple was an adequate fighter but she could easily do without battle in her life. "That sounds nice," she meowed with a small purr. She liked bushes and shrubbery. It was good to have hiding spots.
Apple flickered her tail. Her thoughts drifting, back to what Aspen was taking about earlier with the clan. "So how does this clan work?" she asked. She felt like she needed to be prepared for this.

Leo looked back to the cat with the collar. He huffed, still irritated he was pounced on but was getting over it slowly. "Not from around here, the collar is a give away and so is your scent. I'm Leo," the big ginger tom meowed. "My friend and I are hunting, but it looks like we will have to head to the river now since all the prey near us will have scattered from the noise." He grumbled at the thought of possibly having to get his paws wet with fishing. "What's your name stranger?"
Aspen shifted her weight around before replying to Apple. "Essentially there is a leader, they watch over the clan and make decisions on who does what. They also can speak to our ancestors and receive nine lives from them. I'm not sure how that works, no cat can talk to the dead as far as I know. Then there is the deputy, they are under the leader and can make decisions as well with the leader's permission. And if the leader dies the deputy becomes the next leader, sort of a next of kin thing. There are warriors who do hunting, patrol and protect their territory, and guard the camp, apprentices train under a warrior till they have earned their warrior name. They are also kits who are older than six moons old. There are queens who are nursing kits, elders are cats who no longer are able to do warrior duties, kits, and then there is the medicine cat. They have knowledge of herbs and are there to heal the sick and injured." Aspen pawed at the ground to make sure she got every clan role. "Oh! Clans also have their own names. The one Leo's mother was from was Thunderclan, or something like that. And as for the names every cat is given the first part of their name at birth, so if I use your name for example you would be Applekit, then when you become an apprentice you receive the ending of paw to your name so Applepaw, then you get your warrior name which is decided by the leader. Leaders get the ending of star to their name. Also, Medicine cats get their full name by their mentor, not the leader."
(Jump in wherever you want. Leo, Cloud and Gato are out wandering and hunting, Aspen and Apple are under a tree near twoleg territory talking. As for roles needing to be filled, the clan needs to be formed and then there will be a vote for who the leader should be. From there anyone can take any position besides deputy, which the leader will choose who gets that position)

Okay, sounds good!}
Clover dropped back onto all four paws after sharpening her claws on a dead tree. She tasted the air briefly before heading in the direction of other cats. Faintly familiar scents, as she’s only met them a few times before: the cats that want to start a group. She couldn’t quite recall their names, but she could smell at least three cats somewhere nearby. She set off in their direction, hoping they wouldn’t mind more company.

Gato gasped, body language exclaiming his excitement at the word 'river.' "Wait, you said river. That's the big, long, bathtub that fish live in. The old one always talked about how fish lived in rivers and this thing... fishing." Gato's eyes glaze over, seemingly remembering a memory, before shaking his head. "Heh, sorry. My name is Gato, what are yours? And where are your collars, anyway? Oh, and sorry for scaring away the mice."

Leo's face scrunched in confusion as to what a bathtub was, but he didn't press the nagging question. "Like I said, I'm Leo. And I don't have a collar since I live in the forest as a wild cat. You must be a kittypet by the looks of it." He lifted a big fluffy paw and jingled the tag on Gato's collar.

Apple flickered her tail. "Huh," she meowed at first. She haven't realized that a clan was so complex. This would be interesting couple of moons while they figured this out. "It sounds nice," she mused with a small smile, "Having a system to depend on." Apple was starting to warm up to the idea. A clan could be a nice thing, the structure seemed interesting and inviting. "It seems like there will be a lot of work ahead of us," Apple couldn't help but laugh at that thought.

Aspen nodded, excitement dancing in her eyes. "It will be a lot of work in the beginning, but it will be worth it, especially if everyone we get can help out as much as possible. You don't have to decide now, but just think on it if you would want to join us." She purred sweetly. She was excited that another cat was maybe getting into the whole clan idea.

Clover continued walking until the faint sound of voices began to reach her ears. She paused momentarily, considering her options. She could head back to her nest tucked safely within a hollow log, or she could find these strange cats and learn more about this potential group. What would Pebble think of them, she wondered. Clover shook her pelt out nervously and strides forward, set in her choice as soon as she had made up her mind. She had to find these strange cats and learn more.

Cloud flickered his tail at the newcomer, his fur lying flat once he realized that Gato meant new harm. He was just a kittypet, it was easy to identify by his collar. "My name is Cloud," he chimed in and twitched his whiskers in amusement at Leo's grumpy tone. They could still fish. He nodded, "Yeah, I guess it is just a bathtub," he meowed with a small laugh. Cloud had grown up as a kittypet, so he was familiar with Gato's slang.

Gato throws his paws up in the air in excitement. "Someone who knows what I'm talking about!" Gato jingles as he moves, smiling at Cloud. But kittypet? I've heard the first word a lot but I've never heard that word before. But if it's fishing that needs to be done, I can help! I love water!!"

Now Leo was more confused than ever. "Yes, you can help fish. Also, what is a bathtub?!" His face scrunched up in deep thought as he tried to figure this bathtub thing out. "Oh, a kittypet is a cat who lives in a twoleg nest and is taken care of by them." He explained after a moment. A strange noise and another unfamiliar smell caught the big cat off guard. He looked around for the source. "Who else is here?"

Clover slipped from the undergrowth as she heard one of the strange cats wonder about an unfamiliar scent. “That would be me,” she meowed quietly, approaching the group hesitantly. She knew they had plans that included peace, but if things turned, she was severely outnumbered. She watched them cautiously, just in case.

Gato nodded like a child being explained something deeply important and fundimental to the universe. "Ohhh, so I'm a kittypet and that means that the Old one and the two little ones were all 2 legs? That's kind of a weird term but I guess it makes sense. Is a 3 legge..." The sound of the rustling makes the cat to turn his head. Upon seeing the new cat, Gato waves. "Hello there, how are you doing new friend?"
(Crap, I think I might have posted out of turn.)

༻❁༺ Storm Cry ༻❁༺ Age: 41 Moons Gender: Tom Rank: Healer ༻❁༺ Personality ༻❁༺ Storm Cry is very attentive and isn't afraid to speak his mind, and due to that he can be quite blunt at times. He stands very strongly about doing the right thing and not putting others in harm's way. This tom will firmly stand for what he believes in, even if that means to give up his life for it. He does tend to have a one track mind sometimes causing him to only see things from one point of view, which has at times caused him to seem narrow minded and on rare occasions dark-hearted. Despite all of this the tom has a vast knowledge of herbs and a strong connection with his warrior ancestors. If you are able to get past his bluntness, he really is a good hearted cat who likes to care for others just doesn't care to put up with nonsense. He has been in this world long enough to know just how cruel and ruthless it can be, because of this he has made it his mission to help advise his leader to make the most honorable decisions possible. ༻❁༺ Lineage ༻❁༺ Mother: Cloud (deceased) Father: Wolf (deceased) Siblings: Arctic (unknown, went missing 11 moons ago) Mate: None, but open to a relationship. Kits: None ༻❁༺ History ༻❁༺ Storm Cry from the very beginning has always had a fascination with the duties of a healer. From the herbs themselves to the gravest of injuries. When this tom was still just a wee kit his mother began to show him the ways of a healer. He can remember other cats coming to her to heal them and in young tomkits eyes there was no nobler thing to do than to help save others, and to have a power over death itself. He could learn to bring the strongest cat back from the brink of death by healing his wounds and help newborn kits enter into their relm and then continue to watch over them and guide them for the rest of their lives. As a young tom he was busy learning all the different herbs and their uses. Learning about all the different types of sicknesses, their symptoms and what cures them. The hardest lesson of all came when the tom was tasked to help heal his best friend, Shade from a wound acquired in battle. Shades wounds had quickly become infected and the fever took hold with death hot on its heels. This is where Storm learned the greatest lesson of all, that no one can escape death when they are fated for it. It was after this lesson having been learned that Storm had his first encounter with his ancestors, with his deceased father and Shade himself. Great growth and understanding came from these events that helped shape Storm into the cat that he is today. Later on in life his mother fell ill to a great sickness known as green cough. Unable to find a way to cure it his mother she quickly perished. After her death Storm and his sister Arctic decided to travel and find better territory. The pair traveled south for a couple of moons before being slit up by a pair of foxes that began to hunt them. Storm seached and search for his sister for moons, by the time he met Whispering Night the tom had finally given up hope and joined her to begin the new quest of forming a strong group and a safe place for them to live. ༻❁༺ Appearance ༻❁༺

[ You are okay! RP gets a little confusing when it involves more than one person c: ]
Cloud grinned at the tom. Gato's excitement and easy-going attitude felt infectious. His eyes glowing with a faint warmth. He was about to explain to Gato what a kittypet was but it seemed like Leo beet him to the punch. He nodded in agreement and added, with a slight puzzled look on his face, "Do you know how to fish Gato?" Cloud couldn't help jump slightly as another feline slipped into the clearing. His gaze flickering over to the light brown she-cat and he flickered his tail at her in greeting. How many cats did Leo and Aspen talk to, he wondered.

Apple gave a small nod with grin of her own. "I know it will be," she mused. Hopefully Cloud was aware of that but she figured that her friend would go anything. "If Cloud is already committed then I will be too," she meowed. She wouldn't just leave him for any reason. This clan thing might become a lot of work but if Cloud believed it was going to be home for them, then it will be.

( Falconwing Storm Cry is perfect to jump in when you want. If it is alright could he and Aspen possibly be in a relationship at some point?) ( Mickey Mouse the 3rd one of the rules to this jump in was no one liners, I am giving you a friendly reminder this time. If you do it again it will be a warning, then I will ask you to leave as a third offense. It is a simple rule to follow.) "How many cats are we going to bump into today?!" Leo exclaimed, his good nature self returning. The big ginger cat looked to the new comer. "Cloud, do you feel like splitting up? We each take one cat each and do hunting by the river. Two cats fish, two hunt on land?" He hoped this was a good idea. It was like the hunting patrols his mother used to tell him about when he was a kit with Aspen. Aspen waved her tail in excitement. "Great! With two cats interested it will start up much faster. When more cats want to join we can vote for who gets to lead us, that way it is fair for everyone involved. Leo and I talked about that on our way here. We want every cat to feel like they belong to this clan." She purred happily as well as doing a cute little wiggle as she sat under the tall pine.

This newest bit of commotion settled, Gato took a moment to respond to Cloud, once Leo had stopped speaking of course. "Weeeeell, the old one... er, old two leg, used to swat at me when I'd start, but the little ones had a small...thing.. it was clear, and it held a lot of tiny fish and other things in it. It was like a small bathtub, but for fish. Anyway, when the two legs were gone, I'd hop up, mooove some things about, and then I'd hop up and try to catch a little golden fish. And well, one day I fell in. Turns out, it was much easier to catch the fish when ALL of me was in the water," the sepia cat chuckled at the memory, before nodding one.
"So, you point me to the... river, I think is the word, and I'll dive in and see what I can catch." He flashed a smile and swished his tail to accent the point. He liked these cats, and was starting to really feel at ease here.

Sorry for the late response! Weekends are crazy for me.}
Clover listened to the cats discuss hunting plans with peaked interest, her ears twitching. She wasn’t the best fisher, but if she was sent with the cat on the forest patrol, she would be able to prove her worth as a future member of the group. She flexed her claws against the dirt, eager to get going.

"I bet," Apple meowed with a small laugh. This clan sounded like it would need a few more cats than just them. She flickered her tail and nodded, "That is a good idea," she mused. She wasn't sure who was all gathering to meet Aspen and Leo, but she would try to get to know everyone if someone was to be leader. Apple cast Aspen an amused glance, watching her wiggle. "I wonder if Cloud and Leo are doing okay at hunting," Apple wondered, looking into the forest.
