whispering Stormkit
It was widely accepted that kits processed the world around them through imaginative play. By recreating scenarios they've seen before, or at least heard of through word of mouth, they developed an understanding of clan life and the duties expected of a warrior. Stormkit was no exception.
Today, she had roped Mudspeck into the role of a captive warrior, held hostage by a FlowerClan patrol. In her mind's eye, they bared their fangs and sharpened their claws, surrounding Mudspeck and preventing his escape. All hope seemed lost, until...
"Stormshade to the rescue!"
She charged in from the left of the nursery, wasting no time in making FlowerClan regret hurting one of her own. Batting her tiny paws at the imaginary patrol, she scrambled between targets fast enough to catch them off guard. The FlowerClan cats were stunned by "Stormshade"'s audacity, and she took a moment of downtime to look back at the captured Mudspeck.
"Are you hurt?" she asked, her expression softening as she checked him all around for (pretend) injuries.

Moon 1
quokka
Icepath
The she-cat stayed still, listening to the molly's words. She was trying to calm down, she should calm down. Stop being dramatic! Icepath hissed to herself, tail curling protectively around her body. She felt her body moving, but it was still at the same time, was she trembling. Finally, the acidic words that had sat in her mouth for so long finally came out.
"No, you don't understand!" Icepath hissed, her cracking voice higher than it normally was. "I saw this happening, I was given a sign! Yet, I did nothing!" Her chest was shaking and fire scorched her hackles. The hot feeling of guilt overwelmed her and she looked away, remaining still as stone.
Icepath wanted to disappear, wanted to go back to the darkness of her den. She wanted to pretend none of this had happened, she wanted to pretend she hadn't failed.
OOC: I've decided that Icepath doesn't get super emotional accept around death due to some bad history she's had with it! Also I'm now more terrified, let no-cat die this moon!

 Scarletdrift -x- - --- - -x-
He didn't actually mind the rain, so long as it wasn't hot and humid--that only made his fur frizz and he hated dealing with that--but the cool spring storms felt refreshing. They still didn't go out into the worst of it, if only because it's impossible to track what little prey wasn't already hiding in burrows.
So it was only drizzling as he and Beesong went hunting. He led them down the ridge, to the lower forest. Not only was there typically more prey in the old chestnut grove, but because of the storms, the northern border hadn't been patrolled as frequently as usual. If he had more cats with him, he might have wanted to explore that direction, but as it was with only him and Beesong, he'd rather hunt someone safer.
Still, the forests were never perfectly safe.
Scarletdrift stalked a sparrow. A small flock of them sifted through the fallen leaves of last year, searching the rain-soaked earth for bugs. One sparrow wandered too close to a shrub, away from the others, and that was the one that Scarletdrift held in his eye. The white tom pulled himself across the forest floor slowly, carefully. The leaf litter was wet and soft against his paws, perfect for muffling his movements; a heavy raindrop hit his ear, he forced himself to keep still and not flick it off.
One pawstep, another. He gathered himself, waiting, ready to pounce as soon as the sparrow's attention focused on food--
A distant howl, surprising both Scarletdrift and the birds. Even as he startled he leapt forward, trying for the flying bird. His claws grazed its wing, throwing it off balance, but not enough to catch as it flew away in a flurry of alarm calls. "Foxdung," he grumbled, drawing his paw over his ear to dislodge the raindrops clinging to the fur.
He glanced to the southeast, towards where he thought the howl had come from. It didn't sound too close, probably in BurdockClan's territory making it their problem, but he also knew he and Beesong were the only ones on this side of the ridge today and if the sound was a BurdockClan patrol chasing it their direction...
Scarletdrift shook his pelt, scattering raindrops, and turned to find Beesong. They could go farther west, hunt near the pond and the maples, just in case. "Besides, the sparrows' alarm calls probably spooked everything around here," he muttered. As he walked, he reminded himself to mention the howl to Bubblingstar later. They could bring a full patrol to investigate and make sure it hadn't been on YewClan's territory.

Mudfleck
 on patrol // with icepath
The weather was cold and unforgiving, per usual. A chill breeze ruffled Mudfleck's already fluffed out fur. He yearned to be back in camp, curled up, warm and snug in the warrior's den. But, duty calls. He sighed inwardly. Everyone had been on edge in the past moons since Bramblespots... Mudfleck still couldn't seem to grasp it. And extra patrols had been ordered since then, no cat was to leave camp on their own. As tedious as it may have seemed, it was necessary. FlowerClan would not and could not get away with it. Not if I can help it. The tom thought, swiping his outstretched claws at a patch of fronds as he passed by. Bubblingstar ought to send a patrol over the border. Murder was not redeemable, if you asked Mudfleck. An eye for an eye.
The ticked tabby was interrupted from his thoughts when a rumble of thunder sounded from the gloomy sky. He'd been escorting Icepath to gather herbs. Hopefully they could be finished by the time the rain began to pour down. "Some day we're having." He mused dryly to the medicine cat.
✰✰✰ (i apologize for my absence with yesterdays prompt everyone. i've had a horrible migraine the past few days i think the pacing of everything is fine, from my perspective its like exploring a new writing prompt every moon and finishing it up in a matter of time, like others have said i just have to adjust to the pace x.x) |

Go for it! I think both of you will pull off an awesome scene for it. <3 whispering ooooof all's good, it sucks to exist when everything hurts. Hopefully things are better now? I can totally place Scarletdrift somewhere in camp; if you feel up to putting Mudfleck in there for an interaction, feel free. Otherwise, no big deal they'll have plenty more opportunities to interact. ]] |

Moon 2
whispering
Icepath
The molly was silent as she left her den, ears flat and long coat ruffled like owl feathers as she trudged through the wet weather. Her narrow eyes were a little brighter, the talk with Beesong had done her some good and the molly had finally moved on from Bramblespots's death. However, the shine in them was that of determination, probably to survive the biting chill and spine-shivering rain.
"Agreed," Icepath didn't care for cold weather, despite her name she took to the warm summer days that often brought bundles of herbs with it. Her cracking voice was tight and an air of irritation surrounded her. Despite her sour mood, she still managed to carry herself with elegance.
"We will be heading to the BorageClan border, I heard there was some wild garlic and maybe mint there." Instead of waiting for the brown tom, she instead set a quick pace and disappeared out the entrance.
OOC: Grumpy Icy |

Mudfleck
on patrol // with icepath
Icepath hadn't been as talkative during their trek through the forest, but Mudfleck didn't take mind to it. He'd assumed maybe the healer just woke up on the wrong side of the nest today. It was leaf-bare after all and cats weren't too keen on being out in the cold, he was one of them. So he didn't blame the molly much for not conversing much. That wasn't going to stop him from trying though.
"Ah, wild garlic," The tabby mewed casually, flicking his striped tail. "What do you use that for?" There was no point in being quiet. Being quiet just made him colder, not to mention the gloominess of the day. That didn't mean he had to be gloomy as well.

Scarletdrift -x- - --- - -x-
For the first time in three days, the rains had stopped.
It felt like this entire moon had been rain. Even the nicer days had a fine mist in the mornings or evenings, leaving everything damp and grey. Every morning Scarletdrift looked over the ridge and thought that today would be the day that the forest below would turn into a lake: all that water had to go somewhere after all.
But no. Not today, at least, as the sun peeked through the blanket of clouds and warmed his fur, making dry patches on the stones overlooking the ridge in YewClan's camp. It would be a popular spot, today, with the sun and warmth. He was fortunate enough to draw the later patrols today: evening hunting into a dusk border patrol to the FlowerClan border. Scarletdrift didn't really appreciate that, he preferred his days to be filled more evenly, and the free morning--especially with such nice weather--left the white tom at loose ends.
He wasn't particularly eager to finish his den-repair project, his paws itched for something more engaging. Maybe he could find some cat to spar? He hadn't had a good spar in what felt like ages.

Dapplepaw Hide and seek / / with TheKeenGlint Dapplepaw was kitsitting stormkit while most of her classmates were on patrol or hunting. She had offered without a second thought, Offering for things was part of her being the best apprentice she could be. The she-cat walked around the walls of the nursery inspecting every nook and cranny the thick foliage provided. Dapplepaw really hadn't expected it wouldn't take that long to find one kit but she supposed it might take longer when that hiding kit is barely larger than a vole. Dapplepaw whirling around leaving the nursery. “Where is this moon's forsaken kit?” She hissed, Dapplepaw padded over to the southern edge of camp, craning her head to look for stormkit. The she-cat climbed up the rocks checking the cluster of stones for an absent stormkit. Dapplepaw proceeded to check a few other places, ultimately coming up empty pawed. When she found stormkit she was a bit annoyed "Stormkit! why are you hiding here that's so unfair" —---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dog chase- fell into rushing creek / / with jaybun! Dapplepaw was making her way along the eastern side of yewclans territory. She’d been asked to collect moss for some of her clanmates beds. She’d made her way to Rushing Creek Dapplepaw felt a bit nervous with being so close to flowerclan border and relations with them were… tense as of recent events. Dapplepaw lept over to a stone in the middle of the river and crouched to grab at the moss on the side of a stone. She could smell the conflicting scent markers, it smelt strange today dark… Wait, why'd it smell dark? Why’d all the birds go silent? Why was she suddenly so terrified? Suddenly a branch crunch on yewclan’s side of the river. She spun her head around toward the sound.Fear and nervousness clawing at her heart. Dapplepaw barely had time to scream before a dog launched out at her, sharp teeth bared and huge claws ready for bloodshed. The she-cat jumped back momentarily forgetting that she wasn't on solid ground and fell into the creek. The fast moving waters pushed her closer to dog. She could barely scramble up the side of the creek while being pushed this way and that. Dapplepaw screamed in agony as the dog snapped at her back leg and nearly pulled her back down with it. She couldn’t face this dog on her own but perhaps if she brought it back to camp some of the warriors could chase it out. Dapplepaw ran through the forest as the dog tore through the forest after her. The dog grabbed her legs and she was flung into the air. Dapplepaw landed painfully on her leg, tears swelled in her eyes but she kept moving forward. She had to move forward. The she-cat was almost there, almost there, almost- when she slammed into the body of another cat.

BUBBLINGSTAR - DOG CHASE//DAPPLEPAW " Dapplepaw?" Bubblingstar mewed, blinking down at the frazzled apprentice, " what's-?" A loud, thunderous bark caught him mid-sentence. His ears swiveled back, laying flat against his head as he hurriedly nudged at the she-cat in front of him, " Go! Go-!" Bubblingstar's attempts to hurry on Dapplepaw stopped completely as the undergrowth rustled, branches cracking and leaf litter tossed into the air by the massive paws of a huge dog. Stars above, he thought weakly, eyes flicking between the beast's huge maw and the tongue that lolled from it. He couldn't let it get any closer to camp, he couldn't let it near Dapplepaw again either. It could've only been a few, tense split seconds but to Bubblingstar it felt like ages. The ginger tom stepped in front of the apprentice with a quiet, urgent prayer to the skies. He was scared, of course he was scared, he was terrified. But his real fear was for the life of the young cat behind him, and the blissfully unaware clan just two minutes away. Mustering a growl, Bubblingstar bristled as much as his short coat would allow. The dog seemed to register its new target with another ear-piercing bark; tail wagging furiously. ooc;; will finish this off in a part two shortly! |

Moon 2
whispering
Icepath
Her eyes glowed during the walk, the healer was unusually distracted during the stroll, sniffing at mundane plants even kits could recognize and stopping at every little noise. Soon enough, the pair reached the border. Icepath wasn't so distracted here, her hackles were slightly raised and ears stretched to their full height as she slunk over to a small patch of garlic,
A single ear flicked dismissively at Mudspeck's question. "Infections or hypertension," The molly answered the questioned quietly, her eyes holding a wistful look as she carefully plucked the small plant, white flowers and all.

When she found stormkit she was a bit annoyed "Stormkit! why are you hiding here that's so unfair"
Stormkit
As Dapplepaw searched high and low for little Stormkit, her target couldn't help but giggle to herself. She was, as far as she was concerned, the master of concealment, unmatched by any kit in the forest! It would take a keen eye to track her down. Based on how long Dapplepaw was taking, though, her playful belief had at least a grain of credibility to it.
Sadly, though, every game has to end somehow.
Dapplepaw, appearing to have given up, eventually bumped into Stormkit sat on the edge of the Apprentices' den! The masked kit burst into a full-on giggle fit, eventually finding the control to speak inbetween her ripples of laughter when she realised that it might come across as a teensy bit rude.
"You never said I couldn't hide in any of the dens!" she said. "I was wondering when you were going to realise!"

(OOC: Of course, if you'd rather Dapplepaw have found Stormkit somewhere else, I can edit that for you.)
