Lakepaw (with Honeypaw in camp) Little meow meow As Lakepaw burst from the den he looked back to see his brother close on his heels, fully awake now compared to just a few seconds before. His own eyes narrowed, his tail fluffed up, and he dug his claws into the hard earth to brace himself against an attack. There was nothing Lakepaw loved more than a fight, and his strong frame made him particularly adept at it - something he always loved to show off. So as he waited there, the real reason he'd come rushing out of the den had completely left his mind. Sunpaw (with Honeywhisker in camp) Little meow meow Sunpaw's ears pricked up and she purred at the thought of the tom bowling headfirst into a bush. She'd never seen it herself, but had heard enough about Honeywhisker's misadventures and clumsiness to imagine it - especially considering that he was always coming back with scrapes and bruises, and seemed to spend half his time in the medicine den. 'That bush had it coming' she meowed happily in response. As Honeywhisker mused about his tasks for the day, Sunpaw was busy digging into the blackbird, and didn't catch his momentary unease. She swallowed a mouthful, a feather sticking to her nose, and laughed, 'Oh that would be horrible!' It was the beginning of leaffall, and although the sun was shining there was a sharp chill in the air which warned of the upcoming hardship ahead. 'I hate the water' she added as she swatted the feather from her face. As the tom asked her about training her eyes lit up, 'I can't wait to start training!' she meowed excitedly, 'I'm going to be the best warrior ever! If Sparrowheart doesn't show up soon I might need to go see Sageflower myself, my paws are that itchy!' Birchfoot (in camp, open)The large tabby tom was busy finishing his mouse at the side of the camp. His mind was busy with plans for the day... hunting and camp work. Leaffall was underway and that meant all dens desperatly needed repair work.

Swirlflower(hunting outside of camp)
Swirlflower relished the cool, sharp, leafall air as she tasted the air for prey. The clan needed prey more then ever because of leaffall, and she was determined to make a good catch. Mixed with the cool air and scents of the forest, was the faint scent of mouse! Swirlflower began to follow the scent.

Honeypaw / With Lakepaw in camp / blu Unlike his brother, Honeypaw was hardly a strongly built fighter, he doubted he could ever overpower the strong framed cat but that thought was hardly in his mind as he chased Lakepaw. However, seeing the silver tom come to an abrupt stop, preparing to face the cinnamon tabby head on, he threw himself at his brother with the full force of his slender body. His battle plan was not particularly thought out, simply attempting to knock the cat over. Honestly, if he thought too hard about what to do, he'd likely not do anything at all, as was the way of the young apprentice. Even so his claws were still sheathed, having no desire to hurt his brother. -------------------------------------------------- Honeywhisker / with Sunpaw in camp / blu With how often he was in the Medicine cat's den, one could think he was the Medicine Cat himself! If the thought wasn't absolutely preposterous. Thankfully, Honeywhisker could say his time as both an Apprentice and a Warrior had been without major incident, Scrapes and bruise galore, but surely nothing life threatening. "I mean bushes ARE pretty rude to attack me all the time!" he exclaimed in agreement, his voice and actions intentionally theatricals as he flopped to his side in mock defeat. "Can't say I'm too fond of the water myself, especially not that up close and personal." he the ginger replied with a playful snort at the idea. His coat may have been thick and warm, but even that couldn't keep the cold out if he nearly drowned himself. He'd sure be avoiding large bodies of water as much as possible when leafbare hit too, even if the water froze over, he wasn't a fan of testing his luck. Regardless, he rolled back upright, purring with second-hand delight at Sunpaw's excitement, it was hard not to. She was an eager young cat, and he could easily recall his own apprentice Ceremony and the pride that came with achieving it. However, a cheerful laugh escaped the tom as the small she-cat spoke of itchy paws, amusement clear as day. "Yeah, It would be an problem if Sparrowheart didn't return before your paws ran off without you. I wonder what she was up to this morning." He spoke, curiousity taking over as he crossed his paws infront of himself comfortably. However a sudden rumble from his stomach startled the young warrior, eyes wide in brief shock. "... Oh, I forgot to eat."

Lakepaw (with Honeypaw in camp) Little meow meow Lakepaw was knocked to the ground as the full force of his brother landed ontop of him. Yelping in joy, he held onto Honeypaw's flank with his front legs, batting at his underbelly with his sheathed hind legs and trying to roll over so that he could regain the advantage. Seeing as his brother was smaller than him, and not quite as strong, he managed to get a lead in and after a few more seconds of stuggle stood over the ginger tom, pinning him to the ground. 'Ha!' he exclaimed proudly, 'Take that!' he added before dropping his entire weight ontop of Honeypaw. Sunpaw (with Honeywhisker in camp) Little meow meow Sunpaw had taken another mouthful of bird while Honeywhisker was talking, and after looking up and seeing his hungry expression, she pushed the prey slightly towards him with her nose to encourage him to take some. 'I'm sure she was probably out on patrol this morning' she meowed, 'I wonder why-', but before she could finish her thought she was interrupted by a yelp from across camp - Lakepaw and Honeypaw were locked in combat. Those two she thought, shaking her head in amusement and watching for a few moments to see what would happen. She turned away again and continued curiously, 'I wonder why she didn't wake me to come with her.' Although some apprentices would perhaps have viewed their mentor's distance as a personal failure, Sunpaw wasn't worried in the slightest, being just as happy to sit and chat with Honeywhisker as to go out on an early patrol. Birchfoot (in camp, open)Birchfoot finished his meal and looked across at the two young apprentices fighting outside their den. It was already late morning, and it looked like they'd only just gotten up. The tom's eyes narrowed and he got to his feet, padding quietly across the clearing and stopping just short of the two struggling cats.'What do you think you two are doing', he meowed icily, his patience already worn short by the cold that had seeped through his fur from an early hunt that morning.

Swirlflower(in camp with Birchfoot)bluSwirlflower padded into camp with a squirrel in her jaws, she noticed her brother, Birchfoot, near the apprentices den. With a pang she thought of their estranged relationship,she pushed the thought away and headed to the fresh-kill pile and dropped her squirrel off there. Then, she went to the warriors den for a quick nap. On her way there, she passed Birchfoot, and nodded a greeting to him.

Honeypaw with Lakepaw in camp / blu Honeypaw's advantage lasted about as long as one might have expected, although the tom had playfully given it his all before being rolled off the larger apprentice with an audible "Oof!" escaping him. He was soon enough pinned below Lakepaw, wholly defeated, but rolling his eyes in mock annoyance over the gray cat's victory. Then he was squish by the weight of his brother, "Oh, get off me, you big oaf..!" Honeypaw laughed, struggling to roll the larger tom off him. The cold voice of Birchfoot broughy a swift pause to the fun, Freezing in position like a deer in headlights momentarily. Getting in trouble immediately probably wasn't the ideal way to start the morning. He glanced at Lakepaw with wide eyes as if expecting him to make an excuse. Honeywhisker with Sunpaw in camp / blu Honeywhisker purred gratefully before hungrily taking a massive bite out of the bird. Swallowing in delight, his face brightened as if that one morsel had saved him from the brink of death. Although he listened attentively to the young cat, his attention was also caught by the two apprentices battling it out from the moment they exited their den. "Looks like a few little someones are energetic this morning." The warrior commented in amusement, though he hardly envied them as Birchfoot approached them. Nevertheless, his attention returned to his companion of the moment as she resumed speaking. "Sparrowheart can be kind of fickle at times, Maybe she has other plans for you later." he responded in a comforting manner, "She's seemed pretty excited about mentoring you after all, but don't tell her I said that." The ginger added with a chuckle. Sunpaw didn't seem worried to his eye but a little assurance was never a bad thing. ((If oatwhisker doesn't respond in another day or so, I'll redo Sparrowhearts post btw ))

Wolfstar: Camp Open
Wolfstar was laying on the porch just relaxing and enjoying the cool leaf-fall air. He takes notice of a few apprentices hanging out and remembers a couple of them would be taking their final test soon. Wolfstar knew he would have to ask Eaglepaw if he would be open to taking the final test.
Lightingwhisper: Camp Open
Lightingwhisper looks around feeling bored. She considered leaving camp to do a bit of hunting but did not want to run into Thundershade and Poppyfall. Although, she could head in the direction of the caves. "What to do." She mutters mostly to herself.
(Just a few starters but I also have Screechfang, Falconfrost, Oakpaw, Rainpaw, Rosepaw and Snowfeather open)

( Little meow meow - Sounds good about Sparrowheart!) ( Hawkeyes258 Maybe all the apprentices can train together?) Lakepaw (with Honeypaw in camp) Little meow meow Lakepaw laughed as his brother struggled beneath him, basking in the brief triumph of his victory before an icy voice made him freeze. His head snapped around and his eyes fell on the grey figure of Birchfoot. The tom had only recently been made warrior but he acted like he was running the entire camp. 'Just some battle training' he meowed evenly, unfazed by the warrior's accusations, continuing 'we're waiting for our mentors to come back.' Lakepaw got up off of Honeypaw and and twitched his whiskers. Sunpaw (with Honeywhisker in camp) Little meow meow Sunpaw's eyes lit up at the thought of Sparrowheart being excited to mentor her. 'Yeah I'm sure you're right! And she's such a good warrior I can wait a bit longer.' Sunpaw took one last bite of the blackbird and then gave her paw a few licks before drawing it over her face. She had eaten her fill and started purring in contentment. Birchfoot (apprentices -> Lightningwhisper in camp) Little meow meow / Hawkeyes258 Birchfoot's eyes narrowed at the comment from the young apprentice. Although the excuse was a good one he didn't like the tone Lakepaw had taken. ' If your mentors aren't around then take some initiative and do camp work like Minnowpaw.' he spat out, 'or are you too good to help your clanmates?'. The apprentices stood frozen in place. 'Go!' he spat and watched them scutter away. Heading over to where Lightningwhisper was resting he dipped his head in greeting. 'Morning Lightningwhisper, would you like to go out on patrol?'

( I have two more characters, are they ok to be added?) (Also, I am new to roleplaying , sorry if I make mistakes) Name:Robinpaw(pebble) Physical Description: Long-haired tortoishell she-cat with green eyes, average-sized, though she has always been on the skinny side. Age: 9 moons Personality: Robinpaw is a bright and cheerful young she-cat, she has a playful side, and as a kit in the nursery, she was always the one comming up with games. Even now as an older apprentice, Robinpaw loves to have fun, which sometimes leads her to become distracted during training sessions. Despite this, Robinpaw takes her warrior training quite seriously, she hopes to be a great warrior one day. She is also a little ambitious, hoping to become leader some day. Rank: Apprentice Crush: None, open Mates: None, open Family: Sibling, Quailpaw, open to parents Background: Robinpaw had a happy kithood, her parents loved her very much, and she was always playing games with the other kits. She had always had a tendancy to get distracted at times though, which was fine during her kithood, but would prove to be a much greater challenge for her as an apprentice. Robinpaw's first few days as an apprentice were challenging, though her mentor was kind and supportive, it did annoy her how distracted Robinpaw could get. There were times when Robinpaw worried she would never become a warrior. Screen Name: 🐦silvermoon2🐦 Quailpaw(claw) Physical Description: black tom with white chest and paws and green eyes, a little bigger than average size, he is also burly and muscular. Age: 9 moons Personality: Quailpaw is fun and playful like his sister, but to a much smaller extent. He has a tendency to be judgmental of other cats, except for his sister, they have quite a close bond. Quailpaw's judgmental nature leads to him having trouble making friends and his only close friend is his sister. He also has difficulty controlling his anger at times and is prone to outbursts. Despite his temper, Quailpaw is a good apprentice and is turning out to be a great fighter. Rank: Apprentice Crush: None, open Mates: None, open Family: sibling, Robinpaw, open to parents Background: Like his sister, Quailpaw had a happy kithood with loving parents, but due to his temper and judgmental nature, the other kits didn't enjoy playing with him and he usually just played with his sister, Robinpaw. Also like his sister, Quailpaw's apprenticeship got of to a rocky start,his outbursts led him to have many arguments with his mentor, and his mentor being a good mentor, but strict, gave him punishments for his behavior. With guidance from his mentor, Quailpaw had gotten much better at controlling his temper,though he still has outbursts from time to time. Quailpaw is also shaping up to be a good fighter. Screen Name: 🐦silvermoon2🐦

Birchfoot (getting ready for a patrol) Hawkeyes258 🐦silvermoon2🐦 Little meow meow Nodding his head again, the grey tom turned to scan the camp. He spotted Quailpaw sitting idly at the edge of the clearing and called out to the apprentice, 'Quailpaw, patrol!' his words curt and to the point. He also spotted Minnowpaw rushing around and thought she could use the exercise to wear her out, 'Minnowpaw, you too!'.

Honeypaw / with Lakepaw in camp / blu The young tom's ears had flattened uncomfortably against the accusatory stare of the much older warrior, eyes refusing to meet Birchfoot's. Once Lakepaw had released him, Honeypaw scrambled to his paws and immediately fled at the command, only stopping when he felt comfortable Birchfoot couldn't see him, alongside one of the dens. At least he could take comfort knowing Birchfoot wasn't his mentor, though he wondered where Leaffall was. He hadn't gotten a good look around camp due to the 'battle training' he and his brother had been engaging in, and now he was a bit worried about loitering about camp. Honeywhisker / with Sunpaw in camp / blu Honeywhisker smiled with an enthusiastic nod, "I heard her mention it, you're her first apprentice after all." he explained cheerfully, glad that Sunpaw seemed to have brightened up a little over that. Once Sunpaw seemed content with her meal, the ginger hooked the remains with his claw and drew it over to eat what remained. As he swallowed a bite, he glanced towards the camp entrance to see a cat appearing. "Speaking of Sparrowheart..." he purred, flicking his tail in the direction of the small she-cat. Sparrowheart / Entering campAfter having spent her morning taking a brief walk around the territory, Sparrowheart was returning to camp with a bird between her jaws, after all it wouldn't do to return to camp with nothing. She trotted off towards the freshkill pile where she would deposit the sole bird, proceeding to stretch her legs with a pleasant purr. Given how high the sun was getting, she assumed her Apprentice would be awake by now and as she scanned the camp, her gaze fell upon Sunpaw. "Good morning there, little one." she greeted the young cat and she padded towards her, "Already eaten? Then perhaps you are ready for some hunting training."Minnowpaw / in camp with Birchfoot, Lightningwhisper, Rosepaw, and Quailpaw Upon hearing her name, Minnowpaw came to a screeching halt, nearly toppling over in momentary alarm. Blinking her now wide eyes, she glanced towards Birchfoot and nodded obediantly before scurrying over. "What do you need, Birchfoot?" she asked curiously, the shock seeming to wear off as she looked up at the larger cat energetically. "Has Snowfeather been looking for me by chance?" The gray cat had been waiting and hoping that her mentor would come get her eventually but she hadn't seen hide nor hair of the warrior and she was getting just a bit impatient. Okay, a whole lot impatient.

Lakepaw (with Honeypaw in camp) Little meow meow Lakepaw followed Honeypaw as they scuttled away behind one of the dens and out of sight of Birchfoot, though at a slightly more relaxed pace. He wasn't as bothered by being told off, and quickly resumed his cool persona once he'd had a few moments to recover. 'Great way to start the morning' he meowed, with undeniable amusement in his voice. He turned to his brother and gave him a lick across the ears to calm him down, knowing he was more affected by these things than he was. 'Well I guess we should get started on something.' Sunpaw (with Honeywhisker in camp) Little meow meow Sunpaw watched happily as Honeywhisker ate the last of the bird, letting her mind drift as she thought about her mentor and all the fun they would have. The she-cat blinked in surprise as the ginger warrior mentioned Sparrowheart, and she turned to watch as her mentor padded towards her. 'Sparrowheart!' she exclaimed and quickly got to her feet, her heart racing. 'I've never been more ready!' she managed to get out as the thought of her first hunt filled her mind. Birchfoot (patrol with Lightningwhisper, Minnowpaw, Quailpaw, and Rosepaw) Little meow meow Hawkeyes258 🐦silvermoon2🐦 'I haven't seen Snowfeather today,' Birchfoot replied to the hopeful silver she-cat, 'you can find her when you're back from this patrol.' He turned from Minnowpaw and cast a glance at the collection of young apprentices who'd joined them, finally turning his green eyes to the other warrior. 'Would you like to lead the way Lightningwhisper?' He may well be rough with the apprentices, but he wasn't arrogant enough to assume leadership over the older warriors.

(Hi just going to pop back in randomly, been very busy with college so I do apologize.) (Not sure if Sandfeather is still with Palerose and Rosepaw ) Sandfeather laid stretched out in the middle of the camp near Palerose and Rosepaw as they had their conversation. It seemed that there were many cats in camp as she heard many voice from various directions, but it didn’t bother her as she enjoyed all of the company she got from her clanmates. Unlike Sandfeather, Mudfoot had been spending most of his time alone since he had been appointed deputy. He didn’t quite know the reason, but maybe it was too early on to make that assumption. The tom slowly padded around the camp and watched as the cats around the clan shifted and mingled with one another. He came to a stop and sat down, lost in his own thoughts as usual. Possibly there was something that could take his mind off things, possibly a patrol or maybe hunting alone. (Just going to repost this as a starter again, both of them are open)

Honeypaw / With Lakepaw in camp "Everything I've ever hoped for in a morning." Honeypaw retorted with a snort, but did seem to calm with the lick. "But you're right, If we find something to do, at least even grumpy Ol' Birchfoot wont be able to complain." Or at least he hoped. He had a feeling the grouchy cat couldn't be pleased in general, he always seemed cranky. "It'd be easier if we knew what there actually was that needed doing, though." The tabby added, his indecision on what they could work on seeming to make that chouce hard.
Sparrowheart / With Sunpaw and Honeywhisker "Good, Good." Sparrowheart purred, glad to see the apprentice was enthusiastic for training. Pausing, she glanced at Honeywhisker, "I'll have to take away your little friend here." she said directly to which Honeywhisker nodded cheerfully enough and bid fairwell to Sunpaw. "Now, come along, Sunpaw." The tabby stated, flicking her tail towards the camp exit before heading that way herself.
Minnowpaw / Patrol with many cats The silver cat looked crestfallen initially, hopes that her mentor had appeared thoroughly dashed. However, this seemed short-lived when she heard the following words, perking up immediately with bright eyes. "I get to go on patrol!? Really!?" She exclaimed with renewed enthusiasm. She wasn't thrilled to be with Birchfoot, the warrior had a reputation for being rather unpleasant with apprentices in particulat, but that paled in comparison to the joy of being taken out of camp.

( Dawnmist sure thing! And maybe Sandfeather can interact with Honeypaw and Lakepaw - take them out hunting or do some battle practice?) Lakepaw (with Honeypaw in camp) Little meow meow 'Yeah, we'll show him!' Lakepaw mewed happily, glad his brother had recovered quickly. The tom was equally enthusiastic himself to prove the bad-tempered warrior wrong. As Honeypaw continued to muse indicisively about what they could do to help, Lakepaw's tail began to swish and a mischiveous light appeared in his eye. 'We could help the clan by going out hunting...' he suggested loftily, 'after all, it is leaffall... and the elders need to eat just as much as they need fresh bedding...'. Although they were technically allowed to leave camp now that they were apprentices, Lakepaw had never so much as caught a butterfly, and he knew his mentor would not be pleased if it was discovered he'd gone hunting alone. Nevertheless, the thrill of hunting in the forest was enough to make the possibility of being told off seem insignificant. Sunpaw (with Sparrowheart leaving camp) Sunpaw cast an excited look back at Honeywhisker and gave a little squeal as she moved to follow her mentor out of camp, nearly tripping over her own paws in her rush. Catching up to Sparrowheart, she fell into step beside her and asked, 'Where are we gonna go first?'. Birchfoot (patrol) Hawkeyes258 🐦silvermoon2🐦 Birchfoot couldn't help but soften slightly at the young apprentice's excitement. He could vaguely remember how, not too many moons ago, he had been called to go on his own first patrol - the excitement and optimism of that day now a distant memory. 'Yes really,' he replied to Minnowpaw, 'and its probably for the best we tire you out, you've been crashing around camp all morning.' Although an attempt at a joke, it came across rather flat, and Birchfoot cleared his throat quickly before moving on. As he followed Lightningwhisper towards the camp exit, he spotted Mudfoot sitting lost in thought and called out to him, 'Hi Mudfoot, fancy joining a patrol?'
