Thistlebloom - In Camp - Crowsong
Thistlebloom smiled, she was enjoying the conversation. She heard Crowsong's question and thought it over for a second, "Well, yes I like swimming. But my fur often gets in knots when i swim for too long, which can be a pain to get rid off." She explained. Thistlebloom enjoyed the feeling of the cool water on her paws or body during the intense heat of green-leaf, but her long coat did not always agree with the activity of swimming.

(Yes of course! join if you still want to!) (Thanks! I'm open to whatever relationships. Perhaps Bat could be related to another loner/ex-loner?) Batflight - A long time ago, Batflight was a loner, but she's lived in VenomClan for most of her adult life and sees herself as a Clan cat. A wiry, dark brown tabby she-cat with bright green eyes, she resembles her namesake in being remarkably light on her paws, even now that her joints have stiffened up. She bears many scars from her career as a warrior, including a partially shredded ear, and the fur around her muzzle has long since contained more grey furs than brown. In her youth, she was an accomplished night hunter, but now she prefers to spend most of her time in camp - it gives her more opportunities to poke her nose into everyone else's business. Batflight is incorrigibly nosy and has more opinions on how things should be run than you've eaten meals. However, her long memory and willingness to talk make her a useful source of Clan history if you don't mind a few strong-minded opinions thrown in - elder - 120 moons - snake Plumwhisker - Plumwhisker is a young she-cat with everything to prove. A plump tortoiseshell she-cat with light amber eyes, she isn't known for her agility - far from it. During her apprenticeship she feared that her difficulty learning to hunt and fight would make her unable to be a warrior, and although she's now competent at both, her insecurities linger. For this reason, Plumwhisker puts in more than her fair share of effort into her duties in an attempt to prove herself worthy. She's always willing to lend a helping hand, and although she holds herself a little apart from her Clanmates she's a friendly face around camp. One day, though, Plumwhisker wants to distinguish herself through more than just dedication - warrior - 18 moons - snake

(Hey Hawk!)
(Ahh thank you Apple!)
Batflight - in camp
Batflight sat outside the elders' den, her eyes darting over her Clanmates milling around in camp. Snatches of the others' conversations floated towards her, and she smiled to herself. Not that Batflight was nosy or anything, but some of those young cats seemed to be growing awfully close. She missed that part of being young... Her stomach grumbled; she looked around, frowning, for one of the apprentices. In my day, the young cats never let one of the elders go hungry. Well, she'd just have to get prey herself for once. Stretching her stiff limbs, Batflight got up and padded to the small prey pile.
Plumwhisker - at Lilypad Lake - Hollystone
Plumwhisker pushed her way through the bushes at the edge of Lilypad Lake. She winced as the leaves rustled loudly. Now I'll have scared away all the fish in the lake. She'd come here on purpose after she realised that the prey pile was low. Fishing in the lake was usually a sure way to feed the Clan - and the view was always calming, too. Pushing away her annoyance at disturbing the leaves, she realised that Hollystone was already fishing. She'd hoped to be alone, but oh, well. As she approached the warrior, she let out a soft, "Hi, there!"

(Sup?)
Hollystone perked her ears when she hears the bushes rustle. She was a tad annoyed by the young warrior for making noise. "Hello there." She mewed twitching her ear. "Have you come to fish in the lake?" Hollystone questioned.

( Hello all! ^^ I'm sorry for the delayed response! )
Stormfang [ exiting camp -- Frostleaf, Bramblepaw ] The tom lead his patrol towards the exit, weaving through the mess of brambles and thorns as he had for moons. Each step was almost as natural as breathing to him. He took a deep breath, letting the inviting scents from their territory wash over him. He felt a moment of nostalgia, missing the days when he would spend all day running through the pines. "Let's head towards Misty Lake," Stormfang ordered, flicking his tail in the general direction. That would allow them to run down their borders. "Bramblepaw, what do you scent?" he asked quietly, casting a side glance over at his apprentice.
Crowsong [ in camp -- Thistlebloom ] Crowsong nodded in response, considering the she-cat's words. She had no personal experience with getting knots out of long fur but she imagined it was tedious. "I see, that does sounds inconvenient," the black furred molly admitted thoughtfully, pulling up a paw to rub at her blatant white whiskers. "My fur makes swimming easy, until it's time to get out. Then I nearly freeze," Crowsong blurts out, before ducking her chin in embarrassment. Awkward laughter bubbled in her chest.

Frostleaf nodded as she followed the patrol down to Misty Lake. The area was unfamiliar to her; she never explored it before until now. The white she cat took in the scent of pine needles and fresh air. It felt comforting. She listened to the atmosphere around her. Maybe she could sneak in a catch on the way back. She noticed a thrush chirping in the distance. Frostleaf was amused by the birds tweeting to each other back and forth. If only she understood their language. Though, admittedly, that would be weird talking to a piece of prey rather than simply eat it. She waited for Bramblepaw’s response.

"Have you come to fish in the lake?" Hollystone questioned. (Nothing much, to be fair. How's everyone else?) Plumwhisker - at Lilypad Lake - Hollystone"Well, I had wanted to," Plumwhisker said, trailing off as she guessed Hollystone was annoyed. "You know, since we need prey and I'm good at fishing and..." She looked past the older warrior to the lake. The view was beautiful as always, the water reflecting the pale blue sky. She really didn't want to leave. She looked hopefully at Hollystone. "If that's okay? I'm really sorry for making a noise."

"It's fine." Hollystone mewed with a wave of her tail. Plumwhisker was here anyway, no sense in sending her away. "There is plenty of fish here and together we could bring back a good haul."

Plumwhisker - at Lilypad Lake - Hollystone
"Thank you!" Plumwhisker said gratefully. She settled herself at the edge of the lake a couple fox-lengths away from Hollystone. She gazed intently into the still, clear water, waiting for the telltale flash of a fish swimming by beneath the water. Soon she saw one, and dipped her paw quickly into the water to grab it. Her claws found purchase on its scaly body and she hauled it out of the water, triumphant, and added the fish to Hollystone's pile. "You're right," she said. "There does seem to be a lot of fish today."

"They might be wary of swimming this way." Hollystone remarked seeing a few fish further ahead. She carefully moves towards them. "Perhaps, I can drive a few over to you to catch." She suggested.

Plumwhisker - at Lilypad Lake - Hollystone
"That sounds like a good idea!" Plumwisker said, her ears perking up eagerly. It seemed like a solid plan, and she was happy that Hollystone was including her. She watched closely as Hollystone moved towards the fish. They flickered through the water, just out of reach.
(Do you have any plans for how this will go down? It could be interesting if something went wrong, but I'm happy for it to go smoothly.)

Bramblepaw - Heading toward Misty Lake - Stormfang, Frostleaf
Bramblepaw followed right behind Stormfang and Frostleaf, holding her head and tail high with both pride and excitement. Hearing where they were headed made her curiosity grow, wondering what they may find at Misty Lake. Her ears perked up at Stormfang's question, she took a moment to check. She parted her mouth slightly, taking in the scents around here both old and new. She recognized a few, "Let's see, I scent birds, a stale squirrel scent, and maybe a mouse or two?" She looked at her mentor, eager to know if she had answered correctly.
Thistlebloom - Camp - Crowsong
Thistlebloom couldn't help but smile and chuckle with Crowsong, she knew exactly what the other she-cat was talking about when it came to freezing after a good swim. "Its even worse if there's no sun to warm up to, oh and a chilly breeze isn't good either in that case!" she mewed, her chest rumbling with a purr of amusement. This conversation wasn't so bad, getting to know he fellow clanmates seem pretty nice, Thistlebloom started thinking maybe she should do this more often.

(Something could go wrong)
"Let me know when your ready." Hollystone says as she turns in the direction of where the fish were swimming. She was tempted to go over there now but that would disturb them. She flicked her tail deciding to attack when Plumwhisker was ready.

(I'm sorry for taking forever to reply! Wrong they will go...)
Plumwhisker nodded in reply to Hollystone, keeping her gaze fixed on the fish. She waited as they swam slowly closer to the shore, until she was sure they would swim towards her instead of further into the lake when Hollystone made her move. She lowered her body into a hunting crouch, poised at the very edge of the lakeshore. She could feel by the tension in her muscles that she was in danger of overbalancing, but it was the only way she could be sure of catching as many fish as possible. "I'm ready," she whispered to Hollystone, her voice quiet so as not to disturb the fish.

Hollystone waits for a few seconds before leaping forward and sending the fish swimming away. She make an attempt to scare the fish over to Plumwhisker though a few headed in the opposite direction. A couple were swimming straight towards Plumwhisker unaware of what was in store for them.

Excitement thrilled through Plumwhisker as she started snatching fish out of the water. The first two that Hollystone drove towards her were easy enough targets and she flung them onto the shore in triumph. Everyone in VenomClan will be pleased when they hear about this catch, Plumwhisker thought happily. She turned her gaze back to the lake. Another fish was swimming towards her, driven by Hollystone's leap. It looked bigger than anything they'd caught so far. Plumwhisker leaned forward, trying to reach it, but when she reached out her paw the fish bit onto it with surprisingly sharp teeth. Plumwhisker let out a cry of pain and dropped the fish, but the movement set her dangerously off balance, and she toppled forward.
