Muse 79 is a warrior. He’s strict, and rather sharp-tongued. Just about everyone is scared of him. He has a deeply hidden secret. He’s in love with Muse 80, another tom. 80 is another warrior in the clan, and is the opposite of 79. He also has a secret. He likes 79 too. Both toms are too scared to show their true feelings, and neither knows the other’s secret, because they’re scared of being laughed at. Will they ever find the courage to tell each other? What will the rest of the clan say?
Muse 79: Lostshade 
Lostshade is a large, silver ticked tabby tom with a white muzzle and blue eyes. Lostshade is a large Norwegian Forest Cat. He is a 22 pound tom, and full of muscle. His pelt is thick and very fluffy, weighing heavily when drenched by water. His eyes are a light blue with tints of green within. While his nose is very pink, the pads of his paws are pitch black. Lostshade has many scars under his pelt, but because his fur grows so quickly and easily, it is not visible. Lostshade has an extremely sharp tongue, and a very short temper, though that's mostly a facade. He acts arrogantly, and never seems to give any cat in the clan an inch of attention, making him the most disliked cat around. Unfortunately for them, he is a rather talented fighter. Because of this, they all put up with him. Under that sharp exterior, Lostshade is a very investigative tom. He is extremely inquisitive, and will always follow his interests, which happen to be fighting and flower arranging. Yes, Lostshade loves flowers. In his spare time, the tom will always look for flowers to pick, and he will carefully arrange them in any tree hollow he finds. Lostshade is overachieving. He will do his best in any situation, and will always perform at a better standard to the rest of the clan. If he achieves under his expected result, he will end up in an extremely foul mood, so watch out! Lostshade has a gentle heart and is very quick-witted. He is able to respond quickly and cleverly to anything thrown his way. Lostshade was born to a clan tom and a loner molly. He grew up watching his mother being discriminated against. Although the clan cats are not as traditional now, back when he was still a kit, most of the older generation cats were around, and their discrimination against his mother really wore the molly down. His father was called Loudseed for the fact that he had a pretty strong voice that could be heard relatively far away. His mother was Lynx, and she was never given a warrior name. He had one littermate called Lowshine, and two litters of younger siblings. The first litter after his was a litter of five, Maggotkit, Milkpaw, Minnowshell, Mistsight and Moonskip. The last litter was a litter of four, Mothsky, Milkweedkit, Mistykit and Mottlekit. Because of the depression from the traditionalist clan cats, his mother died with the majority of the last litter, leaving the only kit, Mothsky, in the hands of Lostshade and his sister Lowshine. The two did their best to take care of Mothsky, raising her into a fine warrior. Unfortunately, that turned Lostshade into a colder tom around the clan with a sharp tongue and short temper. His father acted as if nothing was wrong, which made the two estranged. Rped by Pearl
Muse 80: Badger (Badgerclaw) A stout but underweight black tom with a white muzzle, irregular blaze and irregular stripe, borderline overcoat, down his back. His ear tip is white, as well as both his back paws toes and a white sock on his left front leg. He is missing his right ear, has heavily scarred back legs and a few scattered scars on his back and face. He has green eyes, and long claws that he can’t properly retract. Nervous and quiet at first, once he is comfortable he can be a bit loud and opinionated. He loves a laugh and likes to keep things light-hearted. As much as he announces that he dislikes kits and doesn’t want any of his own, he has a soft spot for them. He also likes to generally help any younger cats too, happy to help out with training. For some reason that slightly bewilders him, he seems to get along really well with apprentices and kits. He dislikes conflict and will try to avoid it but likes to gossip and listen to other cat’s problems. He does have a dark humour, and often says things off handedly that others might find concerning but he finds amusing. Born in the Carrionplace to a once kittypet mother who was dumped there after her twolegs found out she was pregnant, Badger’s life was an uphill battle from the start. Of his littermates he was the only one his mother was able to keep alive long enough to wean. At a young age he learnt to fight off rats, other cats and hunt, keeping himself and his mother alive. Unfortunately, over time his mother got sick and with her waning will to live, died. He briefly looked after two younger cats in the Carrionplace but they too died of disease. Badger, not knowing much different than the life he lead in the Carrionplace, continued to live there. However, without another cat to watch his back his scraps with rats and rival cats increased and, seeking some peace, he began exploring outside the Carrionplace. Rped by houndsteeth

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lostshade ignores the yowling and the flailing, though that yowl did hurt his ears quite a bit. He felt like he'd gone deaf for a second.
When he returns with Newtstar, he notices the tom was still fluffing up his fur. "He should stay," Lostshade meows to their leader. "He doesn't look like trouble, and he'll be a fine addition to the clan. He has a lot of fight in him."
Nuttoe had followed Newtstar and Lostshade. He started checking Badger along with his apprentice, teaching Oakpaw at the same time. "You see, Oakpaw, what you have to do is make sure none of his wounds are dirty. They all need to stay clean, and the blood needs to be running freely. That means the wound will heal properly..."
Newtstar was not as conservative as their previous leader, and so the brown tom takes one look at Badger, and nods. "Fine. Talk it over with him. If he agrees to stay, he'll be on probation. You will be in charge of him. Once his probation is over, he'll take the name Badgerpaw until he can be a fully fledged warrior."
Lostshade nods, and Newtstar leaves. The large tom then turns to look back at Badger. "So, will you stay or not?"

Badger glanced from the cat that had brought him here to the cat he had called his leader while chewing the last piece of the kill he had been given. He stayed quiet while they talked, but his attention was quickly grabbed by two other cats that had come up behind the others. The older cat was meowing to the younger one about him and his rat bites. He flinched at their prodding, especially when the younger and obviously more inexperienced one jabbed into an infected wound. Shuffling back a bit and flattening his ears to get away, he growled a short warning. He had no idea who they were and he didn't appreciate being poked and examined. They could at least tell him their names first!
He had completely tuned out of the other conversation until Lostshade asked him a question. Turning away from the abashed young cat- Oakpaw? Was that what his name was? At least I now knew one of their names I guess. he thought.
"Um, I guess I wouldn't mind. But where am I and who are you? Why are there so many cats here? And why do they keep touching me?" He felt a bit overwhelmed and an edge crept into his voice. He missed the company of other cats but he had never been around so many at once. He knew it would certainly benefit him to stay and have so many eyes watching his back against any enemies yet he hardly knew what those enemies would be in this strange place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A lightbulb lights in his mind. The large tom had totally forgotten to explain everything to the tom. "You should've been listening closer," he meows flatly. "My name is Lostshade. This is Shadowclan. We're a clan of cats, and we consider cats like you loners. Outsiders, in other words. Clan cats are born with the work kit, like take my name, for example, I was born with the name Lostkit. When you're 6 moons, you become an apprentice, and take the name paw, so Lostpaw. Finally, when you're ready, you become a warrior. I received the name shade, and so my name is Lostshade. Outsiders aren't usually allowed into the clans, but you looked so pitiful, entering our territory, that I asked our leader, Newtstar, to allow you to stay."
Lostshade nods to the two cats that were still prodding Badger. "They are Nuttoe, and his apprentice Oakpaw. Nuttoe is a medicine cat, who heals the cats in the clan. Oakpaw is learning, and will be one in the future. Our ranks are our leader Newtstar, our deputy Nightthroat, and Nuttoe. They're the three most influential cats in the clan. Normally, cats that cross our border die, but you were too weak to do anything. So, do you want to stay, or do you wish to leave? Staying means you'll be under probation. You'll learn a little from me, and when the others accept you, you'll officially be a clan cat, receiving the name paw until you can fend for yourself, after which you'll receive your warrior name."

Badger bristled at Lostshade's abrasive explanation. "I'm not pitiful." He groused, lifting his lip. Though he did nod his head at the Nuttoe and Oakpaw, and sit still this time as they went back to checking his wounds.
"I guess I'll stay. Are you lot the only weird Clan? I can't believe I lived so close and never knew about you guys."
I believe these wounds are infected." Oakpaw muttered, half to his mentor to show that he had been paying attention to everything he had been learning the last few moons. Maybe... horse tail or maybe goldenrod?" He suggested quietly to his mentor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Both are good, but if you look at the shape of the wounds, they look a lot like rat bites. They're also infected, so rather than just horsetail and goldenrod, what other herb should we use? Also tell me other herbs that are useful for infections," Nuttoe meows.
"There are a few others like us. We tend to keep inside our borders, but you happened to enter our borders, so you know of us now. If you weren't this pitiful, you'd probably be dead, so be happy that you are pitiful," Lostshade adds.

Seeing as Badger comes from Carrionplace, it might be a fun little addition to the plot that maybe the Clan gets affected by Carrionplace disease, maybe rp time in about a moon or two, during leaf bare? that does result in the Clan low key blaming Badger but really it was because the Clan got desperate and was hunting diseased rats from Carrionplace?))
Oakpaw was quiet for a heartbeat as he carefully thought for the right answer. ".....Burdock root?" He meowed tentatively.
"Rude." Badger muttered under his breath. "So your territory must be pretty big then to feed all these cats." He looked around again, taking in the camp's activity. His ears pricked a little when he heard the squeaky voices of kits, and a few tumbled out the nursery. He had only ever seen two kits in his life before then, and it hadn't ended well for them or their mother at the dump. He watched them tensely- they seemed healthy, as did most of the cats. He hoped they would live long lives.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Sounds good. It'll also make Lostshade want to befriend and become closer to Badger.)
"Yes, that is correct. If we mix some burdock root with a little goldenrod or horsetail, we'll have a decent mixture of herbs to cure the infected rat bites," Nuttoe meows. "Would you like to go get the three herbs and bring them over?"
"It's decently sized, but even then, we will have times, like in leaf-bare, where we don't have enough food. We strive to survive, but it is still hard with predators and battles with the other clans," Lostshade sighs. "Anyway, you'll need to be treated by Nuttoe and Oakpaw. Are you still hungry?"

"Sure!" Oakpaw trotted off to the medicine den but took his time selecting the herbs. Carrying them back to Badger and his mentor, he set them down. "We just chew them up together right? And then put the mixture on the bites?" He wanted to clarify before he used up the herbs.
Badger's gaze slid from the kit to Oakpaw, watching the apprentice medicine cat leave. I think they have it under control. And I'm fine thanks. Have the kits mother's eaten?" He mewed worriedly. There was a she-cat that gave birth to two kits in the dump. Her and her kits starved." He didn't elaborate and his eyes clouded with sadness and worry as he remembered the young, skin and bones mother he had discovered just a bit too late to help survive.
Two of the kits broke away from the bundle of tussling scraps, daring to approach. Badger watched them with amusement. They approached confidently at first but as they got closer their fur fluffed up worriedly. Who are you?" the sandy brown kit mewed fiercely. They skirted around Badger, inching towards Lostshade, depending on his familiarity to comfort them.
"My name is Badger." Badger responded to the kit coolly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nuttoe nods. "Yes," he meows calmly. "Make sure the mixture covers all the bites."
"The queens and their kits are usually the first to receive fresh kill," Lostshade meows, still looking at the loner. When the kits scoot closer to him, Lostshade looks down at them. "Ratkit, take your littermate, and head back to your mother. I'm sure Rabbitbloom won't be happy with all of you running around with a loner nearby. You and Reedkit will become apprentices soon, just as the rest of your friends, but you still have another three moons left."

Oakpaw finished dabbing the paste on, quick but dutiful in his coverage of the bites.
"There, all done." He mewed with satisfaction.
Ratkit ruffled his fur indignantly, but before he could say anything he was promptly bundled off by his littermate who apologised for both of them.
"He's feisty." Badger commented, standing up at Oakpaw saying he was finished. "Thanks." He was polite to the medicine cats, but edged away a little, tired of being poked at and having smelly slime pasted on him. He shivered against a chilly breeze, and he glanced at the long shadows encroaching on the camp.
Where do you sleep around here? Or, more specifically I guess, where can I sleep? Not to be selfish but I've had a pretty hard day. I'm happy to help with hunting or whatever you want me to do tomorrow?" He looked around, his eye catching on some places that clearly were used as dens.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nuttoe inspects Oakpaw's work, nodding happily. "Good job."
"You'll be staying in camp until your wounds close. But you can sleep beside me in the den. Wait a sec. I'll show you where we sleep soon. I just need to grab some fresh leaves." Lostshade moves to the camp entrance, aiming for a few shrubs with the long leaves. He skilfully bites a few off, dragging them with him over to the dens.
