ShadowClan Role Play/Current Day

Here is where the ShadowClan Role Play will take place. You do not need to ask to join if you already have a cat in ShadowClan.

Follow this RP form when role-playing.

Fallenspirit: Fallenspirit froze. The fur on her spine rose. She looked around behind her and saw the gleaming eyes of a dog. She yowled as loudly as she could and ran full speed at the horrid creature. "Begone!" She screeched.

Make sure you put quotations around the speech that other cats can hear. When typing thoughts that the cat has but cannot be heard by other characters, type it in italics like this:

That was stupid of me Fallenspirit thought.

Day 1

Fallenspirit: Fallenspirit opened her eyes as light filtered into her den. She moaned and closed her eyes for a few more seconds before giving up and exiting the den.

Queen Avalon 13:08, September 4, 2018 (UTC) Specklepoppy: The queen sat outside the nursery, grooming herself. Her pale golden eyes flicked across the camp, nervous.

(Drawkill Dragon)

Thistlepaw: Thistlepaw awoke with a yawn, squinting in the early morning light. With a small grumble, he heaved himself out of his nest, shaking off the access moss. As he brushed through the entrance of the den he nodded to Specklepoppy respectfully, and then started to groom. Icetiger101 (talk) 21:12, September 7, 2018 (UTC)

Fallenspirit: Fallenspirit saw Thistlepaw and padded up to him. "Good Morning." She greeted delightfully.

Queen Avalon 00:14, September 12, 2018 (UTC)

‘’’’’Thistlepaw:’’’’’ He looked up surprised as the older cat walked up to him. “Oh,, uh good morning.” He dips his head respectfully. (Thistle needs a mentor,,! And suggestions?) Icetiger101 (talk) 00:25, September 12, 2018 (UTC)

Fallenspirit: Fallenspirit grinned and rested her tail on his shoulder. "Up for a hunting patrol?" She asked enthusiastically.

Queen Avalon 00:51, September 14, 2018 (UTC) Thistlepaw: "Of course." He says quietly, and he licked one more patch of fur before he stood up, stretching out his limbs for the day. After he was done, he looked up expectantly at Fallenspirit as to where they were going. Icetiger101 (talk) 21:42, September 14, 2018 (UTC)

Specklepoppy: The queen lifted her head. She flicked her tail around, covering her plump belly. Her kits were surely due soon.

(Drawkill Dragon)

Fallenspirit: Fallenspirit led Thistlepaw out of camp and into the pine forest.

Queen Avalon 17:20, September 18, 2018 (UTC) Specklepoppy: She tilted her head up, gazing at the cloudless sky. After a moment, the queen stood and padded towards the entrance to the camp, hoping silently no one would stop and question her.

(Drawkill Dragon)

Thistlepaw: Thistlepaw followed obediently, his eyes sunken and dull. Looking up at the sky the harsh sun glared down on him, and a deep frown stumbled across his face. Icetiger101 (talk) 21:23, September 19, 2018 (UTC)

Moonfur: Moonfur sat in the medicine cat den, wishing it was time to visit the Moonpool/stone. (which is it?)

She was bored to say the least. It was early, but maybe if she slept StarClan would share dreams with her?

, she slept.

PuppycornashlynnSpecklepoppy: The queen smiled, then slipped off into the forest.

(Drawkill Dragon)

Shadowpaw: ''Shadowpaw curled her lip. Ravenstar lay bloodied and matted on the forest floor. Her eyes glittered with triumph as she scanned the countless cats, dead and blood pooling beneath them. Her claws turned scarlet, she climbed up the great rock. "This is my forest now!" she yowled, and the corpses lay ominously still as the stars united and crashed down. They landed on her and she was sinking, far below the earth into a blinding darkness that would never end.''

Shadowpaw woke with a jolt, panting. She shook her ruffled pelt and looked around wildly. The other nests were empty. She scowled. She'd woken up late again. ''That's because you're always staying up late watching the stars. ''Shadowpaw heard her sister's voice. Irritation pricked beneath her pelt. Hadn't anyone tried to wake her? She shook her head. Not even Moonpaw? She sighed and started to groom. As her tongue lapped her belly she remembered the dream. She shivered and pushed it away. As she finished, she exited the den and looked for the other apprentices. She scowled again as she realized all the apprentices had gone out training. As her anger ebbed, she recognized a calico pelt slipping into the trees. Specklepoppy! She gasped softly. The queen's kits could be due any day now. Did she want to kit in the forest? She slumped to the ground and raced into the shadows of the forest. She didn't want to tell anyone. She wanted to make herself useful... or maybe she was just not in the mood. She stalked the queen as her own pelt blended into the shadows.

NOTE: Guys is there any apprentice who is willing to get a bad scratch or two? Later in the day, she is going to go training with another apprentice and well scratch them badly and then she'll become the medicine cat apprentice. They don't have to get scars, though. Just putting that out there because she needs to become the medicine cat apprentice soon.

~ShadowCat360

Moonpaw: Moonpaw's tail lashed in excitement as the starling fell limp in her jaws. She felt a bit sorry for Shadowpaw, but she pushed it away. The Clan would be impressed that she'd gone out on her own and caught three pieces of prey. Or would they be upset she'd broken the rules? She shook herself and padded back to camp with her prey. I'll wake Shadowpaw, she decided. It wasn't fair to be punished for staying up late so severely.

~ShadowCat360

Moonfur: Moonfur woke up, and started to sort the herbs in her den. ''Catmint there, watermint here, deathberries... Hm...''

Standing on her forepaws and using her tail for balance, she put the deathberries on the highest shelf in the herb store.

Hopefully no kit will find them, she thought.

Puppycornashlynn

NOTE: I'd be fine getting injured Shadow.

Lynxpaw: Lynxpaw awoke, looking around the apprentices' den. Shadowpaw was there, but Moonpaw...

"Where's Moonpaw?" he murmured. He exited the den, wondering where the young apprentice was.

???: A scraggly kit slowly staggers through the treacherous forest, barely able to move her paws an inch forward. Her family was gone. How had her life come to this? She collapses from starvation and exhaust, finally unable to keep going. The smell of some foreign cats wafts through the air. She doesn't know it yet, but she is on the border of Shadowclan territory. The kit slowly falls unconcious on the damp gorest floor, dry leaves lining the roots of ancient trees.

Ivywhisper: Ivywhisper slowly stalked toward the finch. It was large and chubby,and after watching it,realized it couldn't fly to well. She took small,silent steps,carefully placing her paws around branches and leaves on the forest floor. A second later,she felt her teeth sink into the neck of the bird,its small wings fluttering effortlessly. ''Gotcha! ''Ivywhisper thought,proud of her large prey item. She walked back to camp,skipping slightly. She pushed through the bracken entrance to see the Clan,busy as usual,and dropped the finch in the fresh-kill pile,adding to it slightly. She saw Lynxpaw,and walked up to the apprentice. "Hey. Clan busy as usual,ain't it? Everyone is on patrol or gone hunting. It's crazy how quick the camp can go still because of a patrol or two,so I'm gonna hang out here for a little until Fallenspirit or Specklepoppy come back."

Flamesong: Flamesong flicked her tail as she separated the old, crumbling comfrey from the fresh, usable comfrey.

Starflight897 (talk) 03:39, October 9, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She looked over toward Flamesong, who was in the medicine den, then sat down and started grooming herself.

Flamesong: Flamesong pushed the old comfrey to the side and started sorting the watermint.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap sat in the sun, watching the camp

Starflight897 (talk) 14:38, October 9, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She knew the best way to up your reputation is with looks, and being not only a perfectionist but also being watched by Tigerleap, she tried to make her fur as close to perfect as a cat could get.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap paced back and forth. Too much energy, he thought, eager to go on a patrol and burn some of it.

Starflight897 (talk) 14:37, October 11, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She watched as Tigerleap paced and shared is unconditional boredom. She decided to walk up to him. "Up for a hunting patrol?" She said to her fellow Clanmate.

Tigerleap: "Sure!" he said, stopping his pacing.

Starflight897 (talk) 02:28, October 12, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: "Who else should we bring?" She asked him, knowing others were yearning for action in camp.

Tigerleap: the random apprentice that I just added want to mentor her? "Maybe Splashpaw."

Starflight897 (talk) 17:02, October 12, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper:  Sure I'll mentor her "Sure, I'll go get her." Ivywhisper padded over to the apprentice's den to see Splashpaw sleeping peacefully. "Wake up, Splashpaw. We've got a hunting patrol." She said to her apprentice. Splashpaw stirred, and that was Ivywhisper's sign that she was awake. "Hurry up and get ready." She said to Splashpaw, then walked to the camp entrance and met with Tigerleap.

Splashpaw: Splashpaw stretched and yawned before padding out to the clearing.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap flicked his tail impatiently, not in the mood to wait.

Starflight897 (talk) 16:15, October 13, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She noticed Tigerleap's impatience, and said to him, "Don't worry, she's coming." A few seconds later, she saw Splashpaw pad into the clearing. "Told you." She said to Tigerleap, chuckling a little.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap made a visible effort to hide his impatience

Splashpaw: Splashpaw padded up to Ivywhisper and Tigerleap. “When are we leaving?” she asked eagerly.

Starflight897 (talk) 14:40, October 14, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: "Well, right now, I guess." She shrugged. Tigerleap lead the patrol out of the entrance, the marshy swampland hiding their scent from prey.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap padded at the head of the patrol, scenting the air. The same swampland that hid their scent also hid that of their prey, and it was a moment before he scented a vole in the marsh.

Splashpaw: Splashpaw heard a sploosh as a frog leapt into a puddle, and she veered away from the patrol to go track it. She found it and leapt at it, only to have it jump out of her claws. She leapt at it again, and the pair played a weird game of leapfrog, getting further and further away from the patrol.

Starflight897 (talk) 00:48, October 15, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She noticed Splashpaw getting further and further away, and ran after the apprentice. Ivywhisper pinned the frog and swiftly finished it off, then stared at Splashpaw. "Don't veer to far away from the patrol, okay?" She said, looking more cross than usual.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap padded towards Ivywhisper and Splashpaw with the vole in his jaws.

Splashpaw: Splashpaw nodded, looking sorry for a moment, until the patrol continued and her usual smile appeared again.

Starflight897 (talk) 22:55, October 15, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She sniffed and stopped, signaling the other's to do the same. She tasted the air and her ears perked up. "Raven to the left." She whispered and spotted the blackbird up in a tree. Ivywhisper crouched down in a hunters position, ready to strike.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap swished his tail eagerly, making sure it didn't brush the ground.

Splashpaw: Splashpaw watched Ivywhisper's silent motions with awe

Starflight897 (talk) 23:36, October 17, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: Claws slashed at the black feathers; the battle was over before it had begun. The crow didn't even get a chance to caw at the sight of danger. She came back to the patrol, her mouth full of bird.

Splashpaw: "Amazing catch!" she said, impressed. "The crow didn't even see you coming!"

Tigerleap: Tigerleap nodded in agreement, already scanning the area for more prey.

Starflight897 (talk) 20:58, October 18, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She spit out the raven and buried it for later. "Now you know why they choose my warrior name as Ivywhisper." She said, snickering. "We still have more prey to catch. That raven won't fill the bellies of the whole Clan." She padded out farther into the marshes, the pine nettles soft beneath her paws.

Splashpaw: "I want to be Splashstrike! I'm gonna be the best fighter ever!" she said, following Ivywhisper.

Ivywhisper: "Splashstrike? Well, you do both have 'Splash' in your name." She said. "And you do sort of resemble him."

(Splashstrike as in she wants that for her warrior name)

Splashpaw: "Maybe I could work on being sneaky, and I could be Splashwhisper like you!” she said, thinking. “Splashstorm! Splashheart! Splashblaze!” she exclaimed.

Starflight897 (talk) 07:37, October 20, 2019 (UTC)

____________________________________________________________________________________

Moonpaw: Moonpaw gnawed on a stick, bored.

Timberpelt: “Moonpaw, assessments. Hunting assessments.” Timberpelt said.

~GlacyGlace

Splatterleaf  Decided to go take a walk,it had been moons since she had practiced hunting the few birds that lurked in Shadowclan.

Anemonepool Ivywhisper: "Hold on, what was that one you said? Like, before Splashheart?" She said, eager to guess the warrior name of the small apprentice. Splashpaw: "Splashheart?" Splashpaw said, wondering why Ivywhisper wanted to know.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap muttered something about them scaring the prey off, not loud enough for them to hear.

Starflight897 (talk) 23:22, October 29, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: "No, no, the one before that... Splashrain? Splashcloud?" She said. "It was a really good name when I heard it..."

Splashpaw: "Umm... Splashstorm?" Splashpaw guessed, trying to remember.

Starflight897 (talk) 04:27, October 31, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: "Yeah, that one! I think that would be a good one for you. You're so... hyper if that's even a way to explain it." She responded to the apprentice. In her mind, the name suited Splashpaw well, and hopefully, the leader would consider something close to that.

Splashpaw: "Really? Cool!" Splashpaw said, excited that Ivywhisper thought her idea was good.

Starflight897 (talk) 03:56, November 1, 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: "But all of that naming business is up to Brightstar." She said.

Splashpaw: "(insert Splashpaw's mother here) said that I could ask for a certain name though!"

Ivywhisper: "Huh. I never knew that. When I was an apprentice, we just stuck with the name (insert leader's name here) gave us." She said. "Anyways, we better be headed back, it's getting late."

Tigerleap: Tigerleap had padded off and caught another frog, knowing that the two she-cats wouldn't catch anything else, chattering like starlings, and he wanted to being something back.

Splashpaw: Splashpaw nodded. "I think the leader still picks the name though," she said as they walked back. "You can ask for a certain one, but you might not get it."

Ivywhisper: "Come on, let's get our prey together and then head back home." She said, grabbing her raven from earlier.

Splashpaw: "Okay!" Splashpaw said, picking up the frog. She smiled at Tigerleap as he padded by with a exasperated look on his face.

Ivywhisper: She spotted the frog in his jaws. "Took you that long to catch a frog? You look like you just ran around the border twice!" She chuckled, amused. --- Tigerleap: Tigerleap rolled his eyes. He should have came back with a mouse, but the stupid frog had scared it away, so he took the frog instead.

(jOINING WITH A RANDOM QUEEN, she's expecting kits from an unknown tom)

Blackpine: Blackpine stepped out of the nursery, wondering when Ivywhisper and Tigerleap would return.

19:58, 8 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

(ok!)

Tigerleap: Tigerleap padded back into the camp, dropping the frog into the fresh-kill pile.

Splashpaw: Splashpaw trotted into camp, tail high as she brought her frog to Blackpine.

Flamesong: Flamesong curled her tail around her paws, watching the patrol return.

Blackpine: "Ooh, thanks!" she said, licking her lips as she took the frog. "Nice catch, Splashpaw!"

20:07, 8 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Splashpaw: "You're welcome!" Splashpaw said, trotting away proudly.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap dipped his head to Flamesong as the medicine cat walked by.

Flamesong: Flamesong headed towards the camp entrance, going to get some willow bark tansy

(XD star)

Blackpine: Blackpine watched Splashpaw go wistfully as she felt her belly squirm. ''Once you come, I'll be able to leave camp every once in a while, at least for a little bit. I'll have freedom like Splashpaw again.''

20:20, 8 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Splashpaw: Splashpaw wondered if she'd get to go to the Gathering tomorrow night.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap watched Splashpaw bounce to a spot in the sun. She has to learn to be more disciplined, Tigerleap thought, rolling his eyes. If Ivywhisper doesn't teach her that soon, I'll have to get involved, he grumbled.

Blackpine: Blackpine stepped forward and tapped Flamesong on the shoulder with her tail. "Do you have any idea when my kits will come?" she asked.

17:33, 9 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

(Star said I could make a new leader because QuailWhiskerTheTrash isn't active, so here we go)

Brightstar: Brightstar paced around his den, wondering who would go to the Gathering. ''Maybe Splashpaw, that will be a good learning experience for her. Ivywhisper, if Splashpaw's going, and Tigerleap too.''

16:02, 10 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Flamesong: Flamesong turned. "You've been expecting for a little less than 2 moons, right? That means you will probably have your kits soon, in a few days." (I just made up a random time, feel free to change it)

(It's fine)

Blackpine: "Really?" Happiness filled her. "Thanks, Flamesong!" She hurried back to the nursery and placed a paw on her belly. It's hard to believe you're almost here!

18:04, 10 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Fernstripe: “Hello, Blackpine. Do you know when your kits will come?” she said. Then, she saw Flamesong padding by. “Hello. Can you tell me when my kits will come?”

Flamesong: Flamesong flicked her tail as she studied Fernstripe. "Hmm... You probably have a little while to go, about half a moon."

Fernstripe: ”That isn’t long. Thank you!” She padded over to tell Brightstar. “Flamesong says the kits will come in about half a moon!” She said excitedly.

Brightstar: "Wow!" he meowed. "It's hard to believe that soon I will have kits! That's amazing, Fernstripe."

Blackpine: Blackpine smiled at Fernstripe and Brightstar's excitement. I'm happy for them... I just wish I had a mate, too. The father of her kits was long gone from the Clan, and was a secret Blackpine would never reveal, even to her closest friends. (FORESHADOWING ALERT...)

18:51, 11 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She brought the raven back to the fresh-kill pile and padded over to Tigerleap. "Have you heard? Blackpine is expecting her kits soon." She said to the tom.

Leopardshadow: Leopardshadow stomped through the forest, bored.

Fernstripe: “Also, shouldn’t you be heading to the gathering now?”

(GATHERING HAS STARTED so let's fast forward)

Flamesong: Flamesong trotted into the Gathering. (and just play on the Gathering thread after this...)

Ivywhisper: Ivywhisper came back into camp, Splashpaw at her side. Her heart was pounding from the drama and excitement that filled the atmosphere of the camp.

Blackpine: Blackpine padded forward to meet Ivywhisper. "How was the Gathering? Did anything interesting happen?"

22:45, 21 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Splashpaw: Splashpaw tried out one of the moves that a RiverClan apprentice had taught her, slamming her paws into a puddle to shoot water in front of her.

Flamesong: Flamesong padded into her den.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap hissed as Splashpaw hit his tail with water.

Ivywhisper: Ivywhisper looked at Blackpine. "It was... decent. A RiverClan cat decided the best thing to bring to a Gathering was a snake." She said as Splashpaw hit water toward Tigerleap. She turned to her apprentice. "Maybe trying a new move on Tigerleap isn't such a good idea, alright?" Ivywhisper padded over to Tigerleap. "Sorry about that. Must've seen a RiverClan move if it has to do with water."

Blackpine: Blackpine smiled as she felt the kits kicking inside her. After you're born maybe I can consider getting another apprentice, like Ivywhisper.

Brightstar: Brightstar padded to his den, weary.

13:27, 24 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Fernstripe: “Brightstar,” she said, padding after him. “What’s wrong?”

Brightstar: "Nothing," he meowed. "Gatherings always make me tired. Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

14:30, 24 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Fernstripe: “If you want to, but I don’t mind.”

Brightstar: "Okay." Brightstar walked to his den with Fernstripe. "I'm probably going to go to bed now."

15:29, 24 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Tigerleap: Tigerleap glared at Splashpaw. "Yeah, I can tell," he said sarcastically, flicking his dripping tail.

Splashpaw: Splashpaw dipped her head to Ivywhisper, temporarily quieted, although she kept glancing at the puddle.

Flamesong: Flamesong padded out of her den, hearing the commotion, and, seeing Splashpaw's gaze, quietly padded behind her and swiped a paw through the water, soaking her side, before sitting beside Blackpine like nothing had happened.

Blackpine: Blackpine struggled not to smile at Splashpaw's indignation.

25:40, 25 Nov. 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: "It's late." Ivywhisper told Splashpaw. "You should be headed to bed. Were doing training tomorrow." She tried to cheer up the apprentice.

Blackpine: Blackpine decided to go to bed. She curled up in her cozy nest in the nursery, smiling at the thought of her almost-born kits.

22:20, 2 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: Timberkit crawled up on Blackpine. “What’cha doin’?” -

Fernstripe: She nuzzled Brightstar and drifted into sleep.

Blackpine: "Trying to sleep," Blackpine said without opening her eyes. "As you should be."

Brightstar: As he fell asleep, Brightstar reflected that Splashpaw would need her warrior name soon-he should talk to Ivywhisper. ''Is Timberkit ready for apprenticeship? If I'm being honest with myself, I forgot how old she is.''

(two questions-is timberkit male or female, and how old are they?)

23:17, 2 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

(Timberkit is ready-to-become-apprentice age and she is a girl)

(k, thanks!)

Brightstar: Oh, yes, she's six moons old, Brightstar thought, mentally face-pawing himself for forgetting. I'll think about mentors tomorrow, right now I'm too tired...

21:30, 2 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: “Okay!” Timberkit curled up beside Blackpine’s back and tried to go to sleep.

(should we switch to the next day now? -qibli)

(Sure -Timber)

Day 2
Blackpine: Blackpine yawned and blinked in the morning sunlight. Timberkit was lying next to her snoozing, and she smiled at the little kit's figure. Soon I will have my own kits to take care of... maybe even today! As soon as she thought it, she felt a rush of excitement. ''It is today. I'm sure of it.''

11:18, 4 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: Timberkit was listening to these thoughts as she woke up. “Really?”

Blackpine: Blackpine wondered how Timberkit got her mind-reading powers. "Yes, really. You'll have some new playmates today... or, new soon-to-be playmates. You'll have to wait for them to open their eyes first."

20:10, 5 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: “I don’t want playmates, I want you!”

Blackpine: "You'll still have me when the kits come," Blackpine reassured her. "For another six moons. You'll be an apprentice much sooner than that."

20:17, 5 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: The kit was suddenly reminded that her apprentice ceremony might be today or any day now. She put her head in her paws and let out a small whimper.

Blackpine: "Nervous about becoming an apprentice?" Blackpine asked because like Timberkit she could read minds. "It's not that bad. I'll still be here for you every day. And I'm sure Brightstar will pick a great mentor for you."

Brightstar: At the exact moment Blackpine said his name Brightstar woke up. Fernstripe was still sleeping, and Brightstar smiled at his mate, yawning and blinking the sleep from his eyes. ''What do I have to do today... oh yes. Talk to Ivywhisper about Splashpaw, and think of a mentor for Timberkit...''

He peered out of his den. It did not seem as if Ivywhisper was up yet, so he decided to do the second item on his to-do list. ''Maybe Tigerleap should be Timberkit's mentor. He's a capable warrior and hasn't had an apprentice in a while.''

23:12, 5 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: Timberkit watched Brightstar, curling closer to Blackpine.

Brightstar: Seeing Timberkit, Brightstar reluctantly left his den. If the kits are up already I should be too. He padded over to the nursery. "Timberkit, are you nervous about your ceremony?"

23:20, 5 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: Instantly feeling her cheeks fill with heat, the kit reluctantly nodded.

Brightstar: "There's nothing to be ashamed about," Brightstar said. "It can be scary to leave the nursery and become an apprentice, but I promise, your mentor will help you every step of the way. I'll make sure you get a mentor that's right for you. You can even be Flamesong's apprentice if you want."

23:30, 5 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: “Whatever makes the Clan happy,” she murmured, burying herself deeper in Blackpine’s fur.

Brightstar: "Whatever makes you happy," Brightstar corrected, a seriousness in his tone that had not shown before. "Timberkit, I want you to have a joyful, successful life in ShadowClan, and I will do everything I can to make that happen."

23:40, 5 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: She stirred in her nest and eventually woke herself up. Her cream fur glistened in the weak sunlight as Ivywhisper emerged from the den.

Brightstar: Brightstar saw Ivywhisper come out and padded over to talk to her. "Do you think Splashpaw is ready for her warrior assessment?"

20:06, 6 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Splashpaw: Splashpaw yawned and stretched, fluffing up all her fur before sitting up and grooming it.

Flamesong: Flamesong has legit been awake ran through a mental list of herbs as she padded out of camp.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap existed.

Blackpine: Blackpine waved her tail in goodbye to Flamesong.

23:29, 6 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Ivywhisper: "I think so." Ivywhisper responded to her leader. "She's been training hard."

Brightstar: "Great!" Brightstar said. "Did she want a certain warrior name?"

15:44, 7 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: Timberkit walked out of the nursery, her heart lurching at all the cats around her. Then, she breathed deeply, ''you’ll be an apprentice soon, so you should get to meet your Clanmates. Brightstar mentioned Tigerleap might be my mentor, so I should maybe start with him?''

Blackpine: Blackpine smiled at Timberkit. I'm glad to see she's exploring a bit more.

15:49, 7 Dec. 2019

Ivywhisper: "She did mention the name 'Splashstrike.'" Ivywhisper said to Brightstar.

Brightstar: "That's a great name for her," Brightstar agreed. "Okay. Can you tell her that her assessment is today? You can do whatever you want for it, as long as you have one part hunting and one part battle skills."

15:18, 8 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Splashpaw: Splashpaw padded out of the apprentice’s den. She saw Brightstar and Ivywhisper talking and started to pad over, curious to know what they were talking about.

Brightstar: Brightstar turned to Splashpaw. I might as well tell her now, he thought. "Good morning, Splashpaw. I have some news. Ivywhisper and I think you're ready for your assessment. You'll have it today."

20:17, 10 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Splashpaw: Splashpaw slammed down on the excitement bubbling in her chest and resisted the urge to yowl out loud. Warriors don't yowl for no reason, she told herself. "Really?!" Splashpaw asked, excitement spilling into her voice.

Brightstar: Brightstar suppressed the urge to grin at the apprentice's eagerness. "Yep. Ivywhisper will tell you the details."

21:03, 12 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: Timberkit was startled by Splashpaw and ran over to Blackpine, nuzzling in the queen’s fur. “Please come with me!”

Blackpine: "It's okay, it's okay," Blackpine soothed. "Splashpaw was just excited. Not all the apprentices are like that. You'll like them, I promise."

(are there actually any other apprentices right now besides splashpaw who's about to become a warrior... maybe i should just create a random apprentice character for timberkit to be friends with oof)

21:32, 12 Dec. 2019 (UTC)

Timberkit: Timberkit continued to bury herself in Blackpine’s fur, “I don’t care...”

(Yeah)

Blackpine: "Will you stay in the nursery your whole life?" Blackpine asked. "I'm sure Brightstar would let you, but you wouldn't be helping the Clan. And I'm not going to be in the nursery forever. Eventually I'll leave and you'll be on your own."

Driftpaw: Driftpaw popped into existence because timberkit needs a friend poked her head into the nursery. "Hey, Blackpine!" she meowed, her voice warbling like a bird.

Ivywhisper: "Brightstar is right, Splashpaw." Ivywhisper looked down at her apprentice. "You are having your assessment today. But be a little calmer, you scared poor Timberkit." She looked at the little kit, the back at Splashpaw.

Timberkit: “please come with me,” she begged Blackpine.

Blackpine: "Why don't you go with Driftpaw?" Blackpine suggested. "She's really nice. She'll take you to meet the other apprentices, then maybe you won't feel so intimidated."

Timberkit: “Can you take me to meet her?”

(driftpaw is already in the den oof)

Blackpine: "She's right here," Blackpine said patiently.

Driftpaw: "Hello!" Driftpaw meowed softly. "You must be Timberkit."

Timberpelt was starting to procrastinate about inactivity.

Fernstripe: “Blackpine, were you ever nervous about having kits?”

Blackpine: "I am," Blackpine replied. "All the time. This is my first litter, you know."

(I could make another kit, maybe Timberkit's littermate, if needed)

Splashpaw: Splashpaw nodded guiltily, her cheeks burning.

Tigerleap: Tigerleap rolled his eyes at the apprentice.

Flamesong: Flamesong started searching for marigold, padding towards where she remembered the flowers growing.

(timber said that Timberkit wasn't open for relatives)

Brightstar: "Splashpaw, why don't you go with Ivywhisper to start your assessment?" Brightstar suggested. "No need to wait for the rest of the Clan to wake up. (Insert deputy name here, because idk if Timberpelt is active) can send other cats on patrol, and you're clearly full of energy already."

Ivywhisper: "One question though, Brightstar..." She made sure her voice was level enough so Splashpaw couldn't hear. "I've never done an assessment on an apprentice before. I have NO CLUE what to do!"

Brightstar: "Maybe ask some of the senior warriors for suggestions," Brightstar meowed soothingly, also keeping his voice quiet. "All you need to do is include a hunting portion and a tracking portion. I'm sure Tigerleap could help you figure everything out."

Ivywhisper: "Oh. That sounds... a bit less complicated than I expected. Thank you for the help, Brightstar. I'll be sure to head to Tigerleap for questions." She nodded to the leader.

Brightstar: "No problem," Brightstar responded.
