As soon as Basilwhisker headed towards a scented mouse, Duskfire went in the other direction to quickly scent a vole. Duskfire crouched down until he could feel some leaves on the ground brushing his pelt, and stalked forward. As soon as he came in range, he pounced and caught the vole before the vole had a chance to move it's feet. Duskfire decided to catch another piece before heading back, so he buried his piece. He then padded forward as quietly as he could, and scented a mouse to his left. He went through the same steps of crouching down, stalking forward, and pounce but this time he wasn't as careful, and the mouse just got away. "That stupid mouse!" Duskfire said, annoyed as he always seemed to be when he missed a catch. He backtracked to the spot where he had buried his vole, found it, and quickly padded back to the spot where he had split up with Basilwhisker.

Weaselkit, Wolfkit and Foxkit (With Wishkit and Gazekit)
Weaselkit darted forward and pounced on the moss ball. She quickly glanced around and then tossed it at Foxkit. Wolfkit jumped towards Weaselkit when the ball flew her way but she had already caught it. He then turned to look at where she was throwing the ball next and grinned when it hit Foxkit. Foxkit blinked slowly when Weaselkit threw the ball at him and before he could react it hit him in the face. He glared at her but as he could no longer hold back his laughter it became clear that he wasn't upset about it. With a grin he grabbed the ball and passed it to Wishkit.
Icewhisper (with the playing kits)
Icewhisper watched for a moment. She hadn't asked him yet but Gazekit still seemed interested in becoming her apprentice. The clan was doing well and she had restocked her herbs the day before. Maybe she could talk to him now. She padded over to where the kits were playing and stopped before them, not missing the fact that Wolfkit had inched closer to Weaselkit and was crouching a little as if he tried to hide from view. She pretended that she hadn't seen but she would have to confront him soon. Part of her was hoping that he would approach her on his own. On some days it looked like he was seriously considering it but was too afraid to actually do so. Icewhisper would let him play with the others for now but decided to approach him later when they were done playing and after they had eaten. "Good morning," she meowed to the group. "Would you mind if I borrow Gazekit for a moment?"
Heronflight (with Turtlepool)
"I see," Heronflight meowed with a slight sympathetic smile. "that would ruin any cat's sleep." She looked at the playing kits again. "Well, at least there are no foxes here. Aside from- oh dear," she broke of and chuckled when she saw Foxkit getting hit by the ball. "Never mind, that one doesn't count. It won't eat us when it can be stopped by a moss ball." She sat up a little when she saw Icewhisper walking over to the kits and looking straight at Gazekit. Heronflight smiled to herself. "Looks like someone can't wait to get their apprentice." |

Ophelia-Thymeclan border-Near Feather and Ebonyflame
Ophelia walked along the so called 'border' that the clan cats said she couldn't cross. She honestly was glad that the clan cats would stay on their side and that they wouldn't come barging into her den to attack her or take her prey. Or something worse. She pushed the thought away when she spotted a few cats at the border farther ahead. It looked like another loner and a clan cat. She padded a little closer so she could hear what they were saying, and sat down, not caring if they saw her.

Basilwhisker with Duskfire
Basilwhisker was burying his mouse when Duskfire came back with a vole. "Nice catch." He said to the other warrior. He then headed off to find more prey. He saw a finch sitting on the ground and lowered himself to the ground stalking it. His tail twitched once as he stalked forward and jumped. He landed on the bird and it squawked loudly and then he bit it.
Wishkit and Gazekit with the other kits and Icewhisper
Wishkit laughed as the ball hit Foxkit square in the face and he laughed. She then prepared herself to see where the ball would go next. She was startled when Icewhisper spoke. "Yeah sure." She said more focused on the game.
Gazekit turned to face Icewhisper. He stepped away from the game a little so they were secluded and could talk more privately."What can I do for you today?" He asked cheerily. He sat down and wrapped his tail around his paws.
Turtlepool with Heronflight
Turtlepool smiled at Heronflight. "I think I could take on Foxkit if he tried to attack. Unless he jumped on my back cause its not what it used to be. " she laughed at that statement and felt calmer.

Duskfire w/Basilwhisker
After Duskfire buried his prey in a spot near the place were Basilwhisker had buried his, Duskfire head in the direction back towards camp, hoping to find something there. He scented the air every so often, but didn't get any luck. He saw a small opening in the trees, and slipped in. Inside were lots of bushes, but Duskfire easily made it through. Duskfire scented a vole while doing so, and he crouched down once again, ready to stalk. As he went forward he caught sight of the vole through a small gap in a line of bushes, but he was still too far to pounce. Instead, Duskfire jumped over the bush and ran as fast as his paws could carry him and he caught up to the vole. He immediately killed it, thanked StarClan for the prey, and yet again headed back to the spot where he had left Basilwhisker.

Basilwhisker carried his finch back to the spot where he met Duskfire. "I scented a rabbit back this way." He said pointing the way he had come from. He started off in the direction of the rwbbit not waiting to see if Duskfire followed.

"Yep. Its easier to catch a rabbit in a team. Basilwhisker said quietly before they came up on a clearing with a gray rabbit sitting in the middle of it. "You go around and I'll scare it at you." He added sittibg to wait for Duskfire to go around to the other side of the clearing.

Webwillow-The border- with Ebonyflame
"I am. My name is Feather and I haven't crossed your border otherwise that squirrel would have been mine." The ginger tabby she-cat with white patches said sitting up straight. She waited for the other cat to come into view before saying. "I hope I haven't disturbed your prey. "
Webwillow-The forest-OPEN
Webwillow got out of her nest and quickly padded out of camp. She padded out into the forest and breathed deep the scents of thr wild. One scent stuck out to her. The scent of a mouse nearby. She got low to the ground and stalked it pouncing and missing. She shook out her charcoal fur and continued with her hunt.

Basilwhisker with Duskfire
Basilwhisker waited until he saw Duskfire nod to run at the rabbit. At the nod he started to yowl and ran directly at the rabbit spooking it straight into Duskfire's paws. He then tripped over hid own paws and fell over. He got to his feet and shook his fur out before trotting over to Duskfire

"Yes that sounds good." Basilwhisker said with relief. He padded back to where his mouse and finch were burief and dig them up waiting to see if Duskfire needed help carrying his other prey.

Basilwhisker followed Duskfire back to camp. Where he put his mouse and finch in the prey pile. He then nodded to Duskfire and said "have a nice day now I'm going back to bed." He was relieved when he sank back into the nice soft moss of his nest and fell into a deep sleep.

Icewhisper (with Gazekit)Icewhisper sat down across from Gazekit. Just by looking at him she could tell that he hadn't changed his mind but she needed to hear it for herself. During the previous moon she had already talked to Cherrystar about it so that the leader wouldn't have to waste time on choosing a warrior to train Gazekit. All Icewhisper had to do now was to confirm that Gazekit still wanted to become a medicine cat.
"Well, Gazekit, about a moon ago you said you don't want to become a warrior. And I'll gladly accept you as my apprentice. But I need to know if you're completely sure about this," she said. "As a medicine cat you can't ever have a mate and kits of your own. There are many cats who wouldn't be willing to make that choice." She paused for a moment and glanced towards Cherrystar's den, thinking of Thymestar. "There's also the fact that sometimes you can't save your clanmates, no matter what you try. All you can do then is to make their last moments more bearable for them." Once again she paused so Gazekit had some time to understand and think. "Another thing is that when you'll be sharing dreams with StarClan what you'll learn from them can be anything ranging from great or hopeful to outright horrifying." She narrowed her eyes and watched for his reaction. "It's a big responsibility but it's also rewarding for any cat that thinks it's their calling. I'm telling you all this so you'll know what you're getting into. I couldn't ask for a better position to have in our clan despite the... less pleasant things. But what about you?"
Weaselkit, Wolfkit and Foxkit (with Wishkit)Weaselkit watched as Gazekit and Icewhisper sat down away from them and then turned back to the others. When the ball rolled towards Wishkit she took a few steps in her direction. Wolfkit sighed with relief when Icewhisper seemingly paid no attention to him and stepped away from Weaselkit. When his sister padded towards Wishkit he grabbed her tail to stop her from stealing the ball from their friend. Foxkit had thrown the ball in Wishkit's direction when their game got interrupted by Icewhisper. When the medicine cat and Gazekit walked away from them a little he watched for a moment, curious about what they were saying. Then he turned his attention back to the game. Heronflight (with Turtlepool)"If he ever feels like hunting down elders we'll have to be careful of that," Heronflight laughed. "The kits seem to be getting fonder of that trick by the day."

Gazekit sat and looked at the medicine cat. He listened to everything she had to say. Then he sat and let it sink in for a minute. His eyes got wide when he though about messages from starclan and he pondered why Icewhisper seemed to glance over at the leader's den. "I'm prepared to deal with that. I don't want kits either." Gazekit said resolutely.
Wishkit pounced on the ball and then passed it to Wolfkit. "Play nice, Weaselkit." She mewled grumpily as she saw that her friend was going to try to steal the ball from her.
"I'm sure they know better than to jump onto one of us like that." Turtlepool purred. She watched as Gazekit and Icewhisper broke off and started talking. "I wonder if they are discussing his apprenticeship again."

Goodnight/good morning all. Its another great day for rp.))
Snowdapple and Coalkit OPEN
Snowdapple hadn't gotten much sleep the night before snd and she was pretty tired but she got up when the kits stirred. She padded out of the nursery and layed down outside the den with a sigh. "I need to expand the den today." She said mostly to herself.
Coalkit yawned and squeaked not wanting to get up with the others. She was tired like Snowdapple and layed near her mother to watch the clan awaken and come to life.
Wishkit with Weaselkit, Wolfkit, and Foxkit
Wishkit pounced on the ball and then passed it to Wolfkit. "Play nice, Weaselkit." She mewled grumpily as she saw that her friend was going to try to steal the ball from her.
Gazekit with Icewhisper
Gazekit sat and looked at the medicine cat. He listened to everything she had to say. Then he sat and let it sink in for a minute. His eyes got wide when he though about messages from starclan and he pondered why Icewhisper seemed to glance over at the leader's den. "I'm prepared to deal with that. I don't want kits either." Gazekit said resolutely.
Turtlepool with Heronflight
"I'm sure they know better than to jump onto one of us like that." Turtlepool purred. She watched as Gazekit and Icewhisper broke off and started talking. "I wonder if they are discussing his apprenticeship again."
Frostfeather OPEN
Frostfeather walked into camp and her fur was still damp from fishing. She carried two large fish and a smaller one in her jaws. She padded over and dropped the two larger ones in the freshkill pile and settled down with the smaller one to eat. She dipped her head in return to Ripplefur as the warrior passed by her on the way out of camp.
Basilwhisker SLEEPING
Basilwhisker followed Duskfire back to camp. Where he put his mouse and finch in the prey pile. He then nodded to Duskfire and said "have a nice day now I'm going back to bed." He was relieved when he sank back into the nice soft moss of his nest and fell into a deep sleep.
Ivysplash OPEN
Ivysplash was out in the forest. He had been hunting since before dawn but hadn't found much of anything as the entire world slept. He decided to get some moss instead. Scraping it off a nearby tree and picking out any debris. He set out for camp where he would let the moss dry out. He walked into camp and set down the moss in the sun near the nursery where he intended it to be used.
Poppykit
"How about this squirrel." Poppykit said pulling a squirrel from the bottom of the pile. She pulled it a little while away from the pile and layed down. "Do you think Cherrystar will make me an apprentice soon? I'm much stronger than I was and I'm getting bored of being stuck in camp." She said impatiently.

Icewhisper (with Gazekit)
Icewhisper looked him over for a moment as if she looked for any hint of uncertainity. Then she finally nodded and gave a sincere smile. "Good. I'm glad to hear it," she meowed brightly. "I've already brought it up with Cherrystar but she'll need to know if you've changed your mind or not. Looks like there stands nothing in the way of you training under me."
Weaselkit, Wolfkit and Foxkit (with Wishkit)
Weaselkit freed her tail from Wolfkit's grip and playfully snarled at him. She lowered her head a little when she turned to Wishkit. "Sorry. I wouldn't have reached it before you anyway but yeah, I'll stop." Then she turned to look where Wolfkit was going to throw the ball.
Wolfkit flicked his tail at Weaselkit, grinning a little. Then he passed the ball to Foxkit.
Foxkit glanced at the others, pretending to swat at the ball a few times as he did so. Then he jumped forward and tossed it to Wishkit.
Heronflight (with Turtlepool)
Heronflight narrowed her eyes and pricked her ears a little in curiousity. She couldn't understand what Gazekit and Icewhisper were saying from where she sat, of course, but she watched them anyway. At Turtlepool's guess she nodded. "Seems like it. It's not something one should decide lightly, after all. Looks like he still wants to walk that path though," she meowed.
Silverpaw
Silverpaw padded over to the fresh-kill pile when he saw Basilwhisker and Duskfire and dipped his head in greeting. He grumbled a little when Basilwhisker went back to the warriors den but decided to net let it bother him. Maybe he could join a patrol or train with the other apprentices.
Darkclaw
Darkclaw meowed a greeting when Basilwhisker and Duskfire dropped off their prey. Then he turned to watch the playing kits.
Rainsong
Rainsong watched as warriors either went out to hunt or came back with some prey. He saw Basilwhisker going straight back to the warriors den and wondered if the younger cat would one day find a way past his grief. While he hadn't asked Basilwhisker about it he suspected that his lack of sleep had something to do with Thymestar. Not wanting to dwell on that thought Rainsong went back to watching the other cats.
Adderheart
Adderheart had spent some more time looking for prey, not wanting to go back with just a mouse and a vole, and had managed to catch a squirrel. Now she was heading back to camp. She would go out for another hunt later. Upon reaching camp she padded over to the fresh-kill pile first to drop off her prey.
Ripplefur
Ripplefur buried a mouse she had caught and went looking for more prey. She caught the scent of a robin and quietly moved closer. The bird was busy picking some seeds and seemed to pay little to no attention to its surroundings. Ripplefur pounced and quickly bit into it. Then she hid it beside the mouse.

Sakura - Camp - Poppykit
Sakura purred as Poppykit rushed to the pile and grabbed a squirrel. Lying beside her, the gray and white warrior took a bit of the squirrel. “I’m sure she will soon. Patience is key, little warrior,” she mewed, nudging Poppykit’s side with her paw. “However, you can still practice.” Swiftly, she tore the tail off the squirrel and placed it a little ways away. “Here, try on this.”
Ebonyflame - Forest - Feather, Ophelia
Ebonyflame narrowed her eyes, thankful that she had respected the border. But as she opened her mouth, the scent of another drifted toward her. Puffing up her fur, the tortoiseshell she-cat whirled around and noticed the black cat. She backed up so that she could keep her eyes on both of the loners and growled. “Is this supposed to be an ambush? Cause it has certainly failed.”
Cherrystar - Camp - Hollowsky
Cherrystar watched the camp for a moment, debating whether to assign the patrols herself. It was what she knew how to do and it felt almost strange to not have to do it anymore. The ginger she-cat finally stood and padded toward where she noticed her deputy. Dipping her head in greeting, she mewed, “I think a couple border patrols would be necessary, considering how some rouges think they can just pad across our borders.”

Gazekit watched his future mentor for any signs of what she thought about training him. When she smiled it gave him relief. "What is it like communicating with starclan? Is it scary?" He asked with eyes wide and head tilted to the side.
"Thanks" Wishkit said to Weaselkit. She rolled over and kicked the ball like sje was doing belly rakes and then flipped back over and tossed the ball at Weaselkit. She then hopped around a little.
"I think he will make a good medicine cat. He's inquisitive and sharp but je might have to work on his bedside manor because I've noticed he can be pretty blunt." Turtlepool said. She started to get up and struggled a little her body cracking and popping. "What would you like from the freshkill pile?"
"I don't want to be patient. I want to be an apprentice." Poppykit took a bite of the squirrel and chewed it up thinking about what she would do to the squirrel tail. She dropped into a hunters crouch and made her way forward placing each paw carefully. When she was about a tail-length away she jumped landing on the tail and leaned down to bite it. She let go of it and turned back to Sakura.

When the warrior pointed out the new cat Feather puffed up too. "I don't know her but she doesn't look very nice. All I wanted was a friend to talk to. Its lonely out here." She said to Ebonyflame. With another glance at Ophelia she shuddered and started to back away from the situation.

"Hello Duskfire." Snowdapple purred turning to the ginger tom with black eyes. "I was just thinking about how I need to extend the nursery. With the clan growing and my kits growing its getting crowded in there." She said sitting down and pulling Coalkit close to her.
Coalkit regarded Duskfire with her small green eyes. She nodded to the warrior and then went back to watching the clan.
(Just in case it comes up Coalkit refuses to talk. She just makes noises.))

Snowdapple thought for a second and looked at the nursery. "There's this other bush thats almost growing into the nursery can you help me dig a den underneath it. Then we can make a tunnel from some of the branches connecting the two." She said pointing to a second hawthorne bush (I think thats a real thing) next to the one that made up the nursery.

Duskfire w/SnowdappleDuskfire looked at where Snowdapple was pointing, and he said, "Sure. Let's do it right now." Duskfire padded over to the hawthorne bush and slid his paws underneath it, while simultaneously unsheathing them. He started pushing down into the earth and digging. ( Mother Dark You are on a mobile device, so you write this all with a touchscreen keyboard on an iPhone or Tablet? That's tiring.)
