It would be interesting for them to develop any kind of relationship although I'd think Shell would be too wrapped up in his own world to spot it until it's getting very obvious  But they're definitely going to be good frog buds! Shellstreak | at the salty marshes | with Bubblewhisker (-` gumi ยด- .โซ ๐พ)
Blinded by the splashes of water among with the sudden bursts of creatures, Shellstreak only heard the "thump" as his Clanmate tripped in the muddy water. When the tom finally blinked his eyes open, he felt immediately guilty of the molly's mud-strained pelt. "Oh no, your pelt! I'm sorry! I caused such a mess!" he mewed with a tone of frantic. It was rare he had chance to hunt for frogs with a Clanmate, and he didn't want it to be the last. He gave his head a hard shook, hoping to clear his mind.
He was relieved when he found that Bubblewhisker reacted quite calm about the incident, even suggesting another hunting spot. His eyes sparkled as he eyed the patch of plants she pointed out in the marshes. The greenery seemed capable to shade many lives beneath. He nodded passionately at Bubblewhisker's words about their next move. "Yeah, we definitely learned that jumping at everything isn't the right technique," he half-joked. He started to trudge carefully in the marsh towards the Lilypad, but then remembered that he had his try earlier--although it was a failure. "Maybe it would be better if you'd try hunting in this one?" he suggested. "After all, you found the spot, and I already had my try earlier. It might be a good idea for us to take turns. And I can help by being aside, in case you'd need it."

Conchsong | at OceanClan territory | with Rainpetal (๐โ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐)Conchsong had to admit what Rainpetal said was true; half of the gossip in the Clan were proven to be, well, just gossips. She also admired how easily the molly admitted about entertaining oneself with gossip while actually staying out of the gossip itself. She could tell Rainpetal was deeper than she tend to show, in contrast to her earlier shown casual playfulness that initiated this conversation. From the molly's response, Conchsong could tell that Rainpetal was trying to avoid discussing too much about Seastar's unusual status, yet her reply about waiting for both apprentice to finish their training did make a point. "Well, it surely would be frustrating for the apprentices if only one of the sibbling is promoted," she agreed. "It would be kind of Seastar to consider that. I hope Icepaw isn't too disappointed," she mewed quickly, meaning every word she said, but still she felt like she was prying into someone else's business. She had to change the topic quickly. "I think we're not far away from the shore. I wonder who we'd run into when we reach it?"

Rainpetal
Rainpetal hummed, flicking her tail in vague annoyance. โIt isnโt Icepawโs fault that Wavepaw hasnโt been reassigned a mentor. Iโve seen him, I trained him, heโs ready to be a warrior. He shouldnโt have to wait,โ Rainpetal said and sighed. โI donโt get it. Seastar used to be so involved and now itโs a struggle just to get him to do anything. I remember when Alderberry had to move to the Nursery, I reached out to Seastar and asked if I could take Wavepaw with his brother and oversee her training as well,โ Rainpetal admitted and let out a vague puff of annoyance. โHe made up some excuse that one apprentice was enough and I should reign my ambition in.โ
Perhaps Rainpetal shouldnโt be speaking so poorly and openly about the clanโs leader, but it was hard not to when the frustration built.
Grunting in frustration, Rainpetal flicked her ears and shook her head, happy for the change in topic as they neared the shore.
โItโs a nice day,โ she commented, looking around. โHalf the clan is probably enjoying the shore right now.โ

Conchsong | nearing the shore | with Rainpetal (๐โ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐)
Conchsong was surprised at Rainpetal's honest reply about Icepaw's situation; she thought the molly wouldn't be willing to share her feelings towards the leader's attitude, but after all, anyone with eyes could see for themselves that Seastar is treating his kits poorly. "I feel sorry for both you and Icepaw about Seastar's decision," she empathised. "It is totally nonsense that he call you being too ambitious. He really should have assigned someone else as Wavepaw's mentor once Alderberry had moved to the nursery. You were only trying to help since he did not do his job." She hoped the last reply to the topic would show her Clanmate that the frustration towards their leader is a shared feeling, as she could see Rainpetal was feeling really unhappy with the current situation.
Perhaps it was fortunate that they chose to go swimming, as they could cool off their emotions as they soak themselves in the water. "It indeed is a nice day. I can't wait to get my paws in the water." A thought came to her mind. "What about we hold a race for swimming? Since we'd run out of topics for gossips, we may entertain ourselves with a small race."

Coconutfur the ocean โ accompanied by: Marbleskip she/her - warrior 
Coconutfurโs brown gaze was fixated on Marbleskip, eagerly waiting their response. If the tortoiseshell tabby had some shocking gossip to offer, she wasnโt going to turn them down. However, pleasing her was quite a difficult task especially when it came to gossiping. Coconutfur wasnโt going to take a basic, boring rumor as the new scandal. Marbleskip was going to have to try their best if they wanted to please the brown and white molly.
Her ears perked up immediately once the warrior started offering gossip to her. Coconutfur was all for it, her brown eyes widening in slight shock. "Drifttumble and Puddleheart? Interesting. Drifttumble is known for being a flirt, so it's no surprise," she mewed in a low voice, looking away from Marbleskip. "Youโd think those two would know better. A romantic relationship between them could never work. Tell me, how did you find out?"
The warriorโs paws slipped carefully into the sand as she let out a sigh of relief. She noticed that Marlbeskip was looking across the ocean when she realized that they saw all of their clanmates. Mantasplash was with Drifttumble and Saltfrost was with Honeypaw. It appeared to be a busy day at the oceanside. If Coconutfur and the torbie wanted to chat about their clanmates, the ocean shore was the worst place to do so. "Marshclaw, hm? What has he been up to?" the brown and white molly inquired before her gaze met Marbleskipโs. She flicked her tail swiftly in the direction of the two patrols. "Yโknow, maybe we should talk elsewhere. Thereโs too many cats around for my liking. Don't you agree?"

Rainpetal
In a way, it was comforting to hear that Conchsong agreed with Rainpetal, or at the very least, wasnโt on Seastarโs side in all of this, and as she listened to Conchsong, Rainpetal found herself nodding in agreement.
Silently, she decided that once they got back to camp, she was going to have a talk with Seastar about everything and do what she could to get Icepaw the warrior ceremony he deserved.
Until then though, she might as well enjoy her time on the shore.
โA race?โ Rainpetal repeated, a soft purr of amusement in her chest as she flicked her ears, thinking it over. After a moment, she nodded and nudged her shoulder against Conchsongโs. โAlright Conchsong, Iโm in. But, how about we make it a little more interesting?โ Rainpetal asked, a sly smirk pulling at the corner of her mouth as she looked at her clan mate. โLoser gives up the softest feathers from their nest to the winner?โ she suggested, a glint of excitement in her eyes as she waited for Conchsong to answer.

Waterripple with Alderberry Sand
What would she say to him? Every instinct she had told her she would rough Palmbreeze. But, knowing her sister, Alderberry wouldn't be too pleased if Waterripple harmed her mate. It was a battle she'd have to fight with her words. This time.
"I'll just... try to see where his head is and tell him where your head is. I don't think he's fully seeing the situation from your perspective." The possibility that Palmbreeze knew how badly he was hurting her sister seemed impossible to Waterripple. How could someone be aware of the harm they inflicted and yet continue it? She would talk to Palmbreeze. Maybe not as calmly as she was leading Alderberry to believe, but they'd have a good talk. Maybe then he would take the initiative to talk to her sister and formally introduce himself to their kits.
The dilute molly stopped, and looked down the sloping sandy hil?
Eelstrike with Marshclaw & Reefsong -` gumi ยด- .โซ ๐พ ๐๐๐๐๐ข
Eelstrike raised his head high, unable to submerge the rush of pride at Marshclaw's approval of his plan. What would they get out of making a messy murder? Suspicion and, eventually, a trial. The black tom didn't see a point in causing so much trouble when nature could be on their side. No one would suspect a sudden batch of poisoned prey. They'd think it was the twolegs doing or just an unfortunate event. Seastar and a few others would get sick, but hopefully, only one life would be lost to the poison.
The gentle sway of the ocean sounded beneath them, and he turned his attention to the deep blue waters as Marshclaw spoke. Yes, utilizing Icepaw and Wavepaw would be a brilliant decision. It was a shame their father was withholding their ceremony. Alderberry's pregnancy had put it to a pause, but their white-furred leader hadn't been too adamant in finding a replacement for her. That was another duty Marshclaw could take into his paws.
"Great plan, Marshclaw," He mewed, dipping his head to the tom. Excitement began to tingle his fur, and beneath that, a claw of doubt. Were Reefsong and he capable of pulling off such a stunt? Nonsense. It's for the good of the Clan. "Of course, we'll do it. Won't we, Reefsong?"
(sorry these are short, i had to type up something otherwise it wouldn't get done x.x)

Conchsong | at the shore | with Rainpetal (๐โ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐)Conchsong was glad, secretly, that Rainpetal seemed slightly brightened by the idea of the contest. The mention of a price showed that the warrior seemed passionate about the race, and Conchsong was very pleased to see that. "Well, I think the setting of an reward would spice things up," she replied, with a twitch of her whiskers in returned amusement. "Deal. Let's see...What if we start from the shore and see who reaches the rock right there?" she was pointing to a rock in the midst of water, which seemed a quarter of the distance from the shore to the camp. A purr rumbled in her throat as she anticipated the molly's response.
(As a discussion ahead, I was thinking it would be more reasonable that Conchsong losses, as she is a young warrior (less experienced)? I don't know why but Rainpetal appears as a very good and confident swimmer in my imagination

(Iโm up for that! Rainpetal is an older warrior (not a senior warrior by any means, but sheโs on her second apprentice right now, so she does know what sheโs doing), im up for her winning!) Rainpetal
Rainpetal followed Conchsongโs gaze until her eyes landed on the rock in the midst of the water. Instantly, her eyes lit up and she let out a low hum under her breath. โA swim to the rock it is,โ she agreed and glanced back at Conchsong, a flicker of amusement in her eyes as she watched the younger warrior. โI hope your nest has a bunch of soft feathers, because I havenโt added anything new to mine in moons,โ she added with a mew of amusement.
Soon they reached the shore and Rainpetal looked down as the water lazily lapped against her paws.
She shot a glance back at Conchsong. โYou ready?โ She asked, already preparing to leap into the water at Conchsongโs command.

Rookpaw | the shore | with Sharktooth ๐โ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐
The apprentice listened to Sharktooth, nodding as the other spoke. Their words made sense, even if it hadn't been obvious at first glance. He smiled a little when Sharktooth said to 'go with the flow' "It was surprisingly fun." he admitted. The chase had also been a good workout, so he was feeling accomplished even if he hadn't caught anything with his own two paws "Where did you come up with the idea for this training?" he asked, curious if Sharktooth had been taught it by their mentor, or if it was something they came up with.

Sharktooth
Sharktooth purred in response to the question. โBack when I was an apprentice, I would entertain myself by running along the shore, chasing hermit crabs,โ they explained as they got to their feet and padded over to Rookpaw. โOver time, I realized that the little game I played was helping me run across the sand and chase after my clan mates, so I thought that I could pass it on to my apprentice, if iI ever got one, one day.โ
Sharktooth smiled down at Rookpaw, gently bumping their shoulder against his. โThen I did. I got you as my apprentice, and now I can pass on all my knowledge to you, but, you know, in a fun way,โ they explained easily.

Conchsong | at the shore | with Rainpetal (๐โ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐)
"Who says I should be the one prepared with soft feathers?" Conchsong tried to match Rainpetal's friendly challenge, but secretly she had to admit she might have been wrong to throw out such an idea to hold a race with Rainpetal. With much more experience, the grey tabby had proven herself as a very skillful warrior in the Clan. It would be very hard to beat her in any contest.
Despite the minor chances for winning, Conchsong still felt excitement pumping through her veins as they approached the shore line. She readied herself into the diving stance, slightly crouched down so that she could leap right straight up into the water once the race begins. "I'm ready. Count to three together?"

time skip . . . a few days after Marshclaw, Eelstrike and Reefsong made their plan to start up the apprentice trials for Wavepaw and Icepaw, with their idea to taint the prey and feed one to Seastar, in hopes to remove one of the leaders remaining 4 lives. While it'll be successful... two other cat gets a hold of the tainted prey the was laced, one being a kit from Sweetberry's litter, the other being a warrior, making their efforts all the more dangerous. Who's going to catch them? MARSHCLAW - - โ
with All Oceanclan Cats [ at ] Camp | tag
A few days had past since his initial chat with Eelstrike and Reefsong. Marshclaw had pondered the idea, thinking it over in his head countless times as he stayed up at night or while he was leading the patrols. He was avoiding the suspicious eyes that always seemed to watch him- the gossip queens of the clan that he didn't pay much mind to. But surely, those mollies would find a hint somehow that he was working on doing something. Maybe it was paranoia, though. The dark brown tabby padded out of the warriors den slowly, tail flicking and eyes locked on the den that sat across the camp from the warriors den. He had something to say to Seastar, and he refused to wait any longer. Marshclaw had noted to his best friends that he would be holding the apprentice trials today, so he didn't waste time reminding them of his plan. Instead, the large tom stalked his way across the camp.
With his head held high, Marshclaw avoided all gazes that seemed to shift towards him, whiskers twitching. He knew that many cats had their ideas, that the suspicions only rose. Seastar had become quiet and never stepped out of his den. With the deputy approaching the leaders den, what were they all to think if not something terrible? Marshclaw's lip almost twitched up in a sneer as he walked past Bubblewhisker, who had just exited her own mates den- looking a little uneasy as he passed. She would probably be a problem later down the line if Seastar ever got a hint of what Marshclaw planned.
The deputy slipped into the den, not saying anything before he entered. Marshclaw knew that if he did, Seastar would most likely turn him away. But, this ended here. He wasn't going to be tossed aside to allow the leader to mope in his den while the clan walked around like their wasn't a problem with an absent leader.
"Marshclaw, you know I don't want any visitors." Seastar croaked. The tom wasn't much older than Marshclaw him self. It was weird seeing how old the white tom looked. Was this what happened when you lost lives granted to you by Starclan? It made Marshclaw cringe inwardly.
With a snort, the brown tabby deputy sat down, tail dusting the floor before wrapping over his paws. "I know that, Seastar. I do apologize for not asking to come in, but this is rather important." Marshclaaw started, amber eyes narrowing as Seastar slowly started to sit up. He looked thin and ungroomed. The deputy hid the curl of his lip the threatened his maw. Could the leader not even take care of himself? It would've been baffling, but Marshclaw didn't really expect much. Maybe Bubblewhisker could've made the tom more presentable for company, but he didn't let the idea bother him for much longer.
Seastar spoke again. "Well, I don't care what it is. It can wait until I'm not at risk of falling ill and losing any more lives. Now leave, please." The white tom snorted, flicking his tail dismissively. His tongue licked his paws before grooming his ears and cheeks, presumably the only grooming Seastar had done since he started to camp out in his den all day and night.
Marshclaw's ears flattened slightly, glowering at the leader. He didn't want to lash out or lose his cool. He huffed softly before shaking his head. "It's about your son and daughter, though, Seastar. Wavepaw and Icepaw. I was wondering if you would be okay with me holding their apprentice trials and a naming ceremony if they both passed." The deputy continued, regardless of Seastar's obvious disinterest.
The leader stared at Marshclaw for a moment, green eyes narrowed before he sighed, dipping his head. It almost confused the brown tabby, as he hadn't seen the leader act like much of a father to the two apprentices since Bubblewhisker had left the nursery and they had joined the apprentice den. "Fine, go ahead. But I ask that you monitor the trials. Report their failure... or success back to me before you hold the naming ceremony. I'll tell you the names to give them then. I am in no shape to hold a ceremony myself." Seastar eventually mumbled, flopping onto his nest again, back towards Marshclaw now.
The deputy curled his lip in annoyance but dipped his head, mumbling a thank you before back stepping out of the den. What a shame. He can't even stand to hold his own kits warrior naming ceremonies. The sooner I kill him the better. He has tainted the role of leadership within this clan, and I plan to stop it. The deputy thought, blazing anger causing his pelt to bristle. Now, he just needed the clan to gather around to let them know of the decision.
Marshclaw shook himself out before leaping up onto the rock above Seastar's den where the leader would hold meetings. Key word: would. He sat down and stared at the active camp before calling out
"All cats old enough to catch your own prey, gather beneath Leader's Rock for a clan meeting!" His words rung effortlessly around the camp as he watched the cats intently, eyes narrowed.
Things were going to plan.

Tidefeather & Coralspeckle
Tidefeather and Coralspeckle stopped their grooming as Marshclaw called for a meeting, both mollies standing quickly and heading over to listed. Tidefeather took the time as she trotted to watch Marshclaw, feeling her ears grow warm. The two had always been good friends, and she wasn't too shy to admit she found him attractive, but recently their relationship had begun to... blossom, she guessed was the right word, into something more. She wasn't quite sure what to call the anymore.
"If you stare any harder, you might turn him to stone," Coralspeckle's voice joked from her right. Tidefeather flattened her ears as she broke out of her thoughts, flicking Coralspeckle's shoulder with her tail. The other molly simply purred in amusement, and Tidefeather could only roll her eyes. She hadn't meant to stare at Marshclaw. It just sort of... happened, lately. She found herself always searching for him in the crowd, listening for his voice. Oh, dear, she might as well have been a fish following the lure of something bright in the water.
What was she going to do? |
