1x1 Kess and Gohtye.

[Kess]

(How about they start off hating each other with a passion but then they slowly become friends?)

Berryfeather cheered half-heartedly for Blackpaw. It doesn't seem right to me, she thought. This cat just shows up and gets to join. Sandstar seems a bit too eager for new cats. She stood up and began trotting back to the medicine den. She had herbs to sort, after all.

[ragemonster]

((Good deal.))

Blackpaw

Blackpaw awkwardly smiled, shuffling his paws. He wasn't entirely comfortable with the name change—after all, his name was all he really had to call his own for his entire life—but if it was Clan tradition, he wouldn't question it. A black blur caut his attetntion, and he turned to see ThunderClan' medicine cat stalking off. Was it his imagination, or did she seem a bit—irritated? His amber eyes narrowed. Well, fine. If she's unhappy with my being made part of the Clan, she can go roll in an anthill, he thought haughtily, turning back to speak with the other cats that crowded around him.

[Kess]

(Sorry, I was on vacation.)

Pebblepaw sniffed Blackpaw curiously. "So what was it like being a kittypet?" She blinked at him and sat down beside her brother, Scuttlepaw, who had basically been absent all day, doing StarClan-knows-what. He was always off doing something weird.


(I had to add something about Scuttlepaw, we haven't even RP'd him. Also I just realized that I killed off all my apprentice characters except for Pebblepaw. Gee, I'm so good to my kitties.)

[ragemonster]

((No problem. And lmao, I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out, but yes I agree you are very good to your cats. xD I'll try to play Skuttlepaw more often. I sort of forgot about him I suppose.))

Blackpaw

"I wasn't a kittypet," he said patiently. "I was more of... what you cats call a loner, I suppose. I didn't live in a twoleg nest, I lived on the streets. It was okay," he said thoughtfully, curling his tail around his white paws. "The leaf-bares were hard, but leaf-bares always are. There weren't many trees." He shrugged. "Not so good but not so bad, I'd say sums it up."

[Kess]

(Wait, is it Skuttle or Scuttle? Because I keep saying Scuttle. When I named him Scuttlepaw, I was thinking of how beetles scuttle across the ground. XD I dunno why.

Also, I'm going to try out a new format for my posts...:3)

Pebblepaw

Pebblepaw grinned. "Wow, that's cool!" She flicked her tail and scooted a little closer to the new apprentice. "What did you do for food? Did you go to Twolegs and eat some of that pellet-stuff my father told me about? Did you catch mice?" She gasped. "DID YOU STEAL FROM SHADOWCLAN?"

Emberkit

Emberkit bounded up to get a good look at the new cat. Before the black and white tom could say anything in response to Pebblepaw, he burst between them and meowed, "Hey! It's not fair that you get to be an apprentice! I wanna be one too!" Then, as if to show off how skilled he was, the young kit pounced heavily on a leaf nearby and showed it to Blackpaw. "See? I'm a good - pwah!" he spat the leaf out - " - hunter!"

Mistcloud

"Emberkit, come back here!" Mistcloud scolded in embarrasment. It wasn't so much the fact that Emberkit had disobeyed her orders not to bother anyone, it was that he was around that new apprentice, Blackpaw. She didn't trust him. Not yet. To her, it seemed a little strange that he would just show up and ask to be a part of the Clan.

Mistcloud slipped behind her son and scooped him up, and, ignoring his protests ("Mom! I can walk on my own! Lemmegooo!"), trotted back to the nursery.

Jackalfur

Jackalfur stood beside Scuttlepaw and eyed Blackpaw curiously. He, too, wanted to learn more about this new apprentice, now that he would be a member of the Clan someday. "Hey, Blackpaw, now that you're part of our Clan you'll have to prove you really want to be here, and you're not just one of those cats who's in it for the thrill and leaves as soon as it gets too hard or too boring." He narrowed his eyes.

[ragemonster]

((Wow, cool format. I'm personally too lazy to do all that, but I love how it looks. c: And I have no idea how to spell "scuttle/skuttle", I'll just spell it with a C from now on because I think you're spelling it right lol.))

Blackpaw

Blackpaw's head jerked back in surprise as Pebblepaw's quiet mew turned into a yowl of excitement. "Er—" was all he had time to say before a kit—Emberkit, he heard some cat call him—was bouncing about, attacking leaves. "Well, I—" and then Jackalfur was there, gazing at him sternly and explaining he'd have to prove himself before any cat in the Clan could trust him.
"Hey!" spoke up a white-and-black tom. "He can't answer all your questions at once. Calm down." Blackpaw flashed him a grateful glance, then said, "I'm not sure which territory belongs to ShadowClan, so I don't know if I've stollen prey from them. And I know that, Jackalfur. Inever expected to be accepted immediately. I'll prove myself somehow."

[Kess]

(I'm on my iPod so nothing fancy right now...also, nice name change. Please excuse errors, I disabled autocorrect because it sucks.)

Pebblepaw glared at the vanishing shape of Emberkit dangling in his mother's jaws. Kits! She thought. Then she looked back at Blackpaw. "Well," she meowed sassily, "you'd better hope they don't recognize your scent if you did take their prey, 'cause they are vicious!"

[ragemonster]

((It's fine. And thanks, I wanted something a little less complicated and it's the firs thing that came to mind. I'm not entirely satisfied with it though. It's probably just temporaty. xD))

Blackpaw

Blackpaw felt a pang of nervousness, but didn't allow it to show; how would he look to these forest cats if he quelled at the slightest threat? Instead, he shrugged nonchallantly. "Let them recognize it. I won't be frightened by them like a melwing kit." He smiled. "Besides, what could they do, really?"

[Kess]

"Uh, besides rip our fur off?" Pebblepaw said sarcastically. She shrugged. "The worst they'd do is warn Sandstar at a Gathering, I guess." With a blink, the apprentice realized that Blackpaw wouldn't know what a Gathering is. "Should i explain gatherings?"

[ragemonster]

Blackpaw

Blackpaw nodded. "Please do. And," he added as an afterthought, "anything else I should know." Blackpaw wanted to make sure he didn't break any of the Clan's—his Clan's—rules. He noticed idly that the other cats were busy bustling around, carrying on business as usual. How different life for me will be, he thought, though not regretfully.
