Into The Dark (Invite Only)

[recklessgod]

Quickstar - Tom
Quickstar stretched out on high rock, his brown pelt glinting in the newly risen sun. It was cold out, but he didn't mind. It could've been colder, and he knew that. He looked towards the almost empty freshkill pile.

Blackfire - She Cat
Blackfire yawned, stretching, as she woke up. The sun had already come up from what she could see. She padded out to see Quickstar on high rock and nodded to him before sitting down to clean her fur.

Crowpaw - Tom
Crowpaw slept soundly in the apprentices den. He was curled into a ball, as small as he could go. His short fur didn't keep him very warm. His head lifted as someone came into the apprentice den.

Sneezekit - Tom
Sneezekit crept quietly into the apprentices den, but not quietly enough. It seemed Crowpaw had been awoken by his entrance. He grinned and pounced playfully, landing on Crowpaw then tumbling onto the next apprentice by accident.

Ravenkit- shekit

Ravenkit woke up and saw sneezekit out of the nursery.
“Ugh, he’s probably out playing with the big apprentices,” she muttered to herself
She knew the saying ‘curiosity killed the cat’ but she really wanted to know what on Earth sneezekit was doing. Without further ado, Ravenkit stretched her legs and tails and went to the apprentice den, but what she saw made her groan loudly.

Blackfire - She Cat
Blackfire yawned, stretching, as she woke up. The sun had already come up from what she could see. She padded out to see Quickstar on high rock and nodded to him before sitting down to clean her fur.

Crowpaw - Tom
He looked towards the front of the den and rolled his eyes. "The kits aren't supposed to be in here, get out, guys. Go on." He stood up, stretching, then nudged both kits gently out of the apprentice den.

Sneezekit - Tom
Sneezekit looked up at Ravenkit. "Hi Ravenkit!" He purred as they were nudged out of the older cat's den, sniffling before sneezing. "C'mon Crowpaw, it's funny! I got you!"

[dotdottdoot]

Ravenkit shekit

“Sneezekit.. are you sure this is a good idea? What if Elmestflower finds us? And besides, Crowpaw did ask us to leave and budged is out..” Ravenkit responded hesitantly. She looked up at the moon and assumed it was late at night. “Let’s go back to the nursery. It must be late after all,” she whispered slightly more confidently.
Without looking back for sneezekit, Ravenkit padded away into the nursery hoping that he’d have the mindset to come back.

Lambblast
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Ravenkit, Sneezekit

Lambblast snuck out of the warrior's den. She planned on quickly getting out of camp then returning back to catch up on her rest, but seeing Sneezekit and Ravenkit awake, she guessed her plans would have to wait. Lambblast looked towards the sky, noticing that it was early morning. She guessed she had a decent excuse for why she was up so early, but the kits? Wait until Emletsflower found out. "Ravenkit, Sneezekit, what are you two little mice doing up so early?" Lambblast asked the kits, padding over to them.

Grapeshine
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Open!

Grapeshine was in the warriors' den, having lovely dreams about becoming the leader of LightClan, assuming the position her mother should've, and being in control of a powerful, healthy Clan.

Mouseberry
Where?: LightClan Camp, Medicine Den//Tags:

Mouseberry was awake, actually. She couldn't sleep a wink last night and decided to spend the time organizing her store, murmuring day plans to herself, and trying to boost her confidence to ask a warrior to join her in collecting herbs.

Quollkit
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Sneezekit, Ravenkit, Open!

Quollkit heard Ravenkit's voice from outside of camp. "Raven...? Wha's se doin' up so late?" The gray and white spotted kit yawned, stretching beside her mother. The kit groomed her pelt then padded near the entrance of the den, pausing once she heard Lambblast's voice. Uh-oh! Looks like they're getting in trouble... Quollkit thought.

Sneezykit
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Open!

The young tom slept in a nest far from the other kits. He breathed out of his mouth since his nose was clogged again, and he felt he was too sick to sleep with his siblings. After awhile, Sneezykit's nest was too soggy with his own saliva to the point he felt uncomfortable resting in it. Sneezykit's eyes flung open in frustration and he got up from his nest. "I hate getting colds. I can barely breav and then I feel all sticky and weird." He hissed silently to himself. He climbed out of his wet nest and crept over to Emletsflower's, considering climbing in until he noticed Quollkit standing near the nursery entrance. Sneezykit padded up behind her as quietly as possible and tried to see what she was staring at, but remain out of her line of vision at the same time.

magpietalon
magpietalon trudged out of his den, his fur immediately fluffing up at the cold. he looked up to see quickstar sitting atop the highrock, seemingly not bothered by the weather. magpietalon shook his head, whiskers twitching with humor. their leader was certainly something if he could sit out in the cold with his fur flat.
the tom quickly leaped up the highrock, settling beside quickstar. "should we just send everyone on hunting patrols?" he asked, his voice low and quiet. "we haven't had trouble on the borders in a while, and we could use the food." Seeing the near-empty freshkill pile had made his stomach twist, and he certainly didn't want it to stay that way.

buckpaw
buckpaw blinked open his eyes, glaring out at the snowy camp with half-closed eyes. he huffed, his breath making a small cloud, before turning over and tucking his paw over his eyes. it was too cold to be up this early. he'd get up when someone told him to.

emberpaw
emberpaw was already up, padding over to the nursery. she had offered to help change the kits' and emletsflower's bedding today, and she had already grabbed some of the left over moss from the medicine den. she nodded to lambblast, dropping the moss she was carrying. "you guys should be in the nursery," she mewed, clearly worried. "especially you, sneezekit. come on,
in ya go." she purred, ushering the two kits back into the nursery. "you really shouldn't be out while you're sick... i'll have to get mouseberry to give you something for that stuffy nose."

The white she-cat looked at Emberpaw, surprised to see the apprentice up. By the looks of it, it looked like the Clan was beginning to get up and start their day. "Well, you heard Emberpaw. Go into the nursery!" Lambblast told the kits, then turned to the tortoiseshell she-cat. "And good morning, Emberpaw! Nice to see that you're bright and early today." She raved.

Grapeshine
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Open!

Grapeshine began to wake up by the commotion going on outside of the warriors' den. She let out a yawn, stretched her fore legs, then tip-toed outside of the den. The sun wasn't quite up in the sky so she was surprised to see so may warriors up. "Goodmornin', everyone!" Grapeshine sang out to the Clan. She enjoyed starting off the day that way.

Mouseberry
Where?: LightClan Camp, Medicine Den//Tags: Open!

Mouseberry was murmuring to herself, trying to build up assertiveness to go up and ask a warrior, any warrior, to head out and collect herbs with her, but once she heard Grapeshine's good morning call, she decided it was a little too late. Foxdung. Back to asking Quickstar to assign a warrior to go with me. Mouseberry thought. She poked her head out her den, looking around to see how many warriors were up.

Quollkit
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Sneezekit, Ravenkit, Open!

Quollkit backed up into the den once she heard Emberpaw tell Sneezekit and Ravenkit to go back in the nursery. "Hehe, hi, Sneekit and Ravenkit!" Quollkit mewed playfully to her siblings.

Sneezykit
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Open!

Sneezykit backed far away from the other kits once they arrived. Sniffing, he greeted his two siblings. "What were you two doing?" He asked, playfully.

[Chamrosh]

Cheddarstorm


Tom | Ginger | Warrior

xxxxCheddarstorm sat attentively where he had been stationed last night, watching the entrance of camp. He'd chosen a relaxed position, but one where he could clearly see the entrance way and out into the woods beyond. He was tired now, for sure, but should be functional for a short while more at least. He'd spent his time within camp yesterday napping so he'd be alert the whole night through.
xxxxThe camp did need someone prepared to do that. How embarassing would it be to admit that they'd been killed in their sleeps by a badger who snuck into camp because they hadn't thought to mind their backs except when the new warriors sat their vigils! Cheddarstorm quietly hoped he could be assigned patrolling rather than hunting, knowing it to be more what he was ready for now. He'd just spent a whole night believing any twitches or sounds could well be of something planning to eat all his relatives and friends, he didn't think that would mix well with hunting.


Emletsflower


Molly | Torbie | Queen

xxxxEmletsflower wasn't dreaming. Instead, the world of her sleep was pure, pitch black, and all alone. But sleep only lasted so long. She favoured a spot fairly near the entrance to the nursery (although obviously still far enough back to keep herself warm) so that she could see the weather outside more clearly and know what to brace herself for from the start of the day. The sun was glinting over the tree line on the opposite side of camp, and some of the light flickered upon her face, breaking up the dark in her den much like it was breaking up the dark of her sleep. Emletsflower's eyes very slowly opened, looking out at the camp beyond the den entrance.
xxxxHmm. Weren't there were meant to be three kits? Yes, she'd... she'd kitted a few moons back... How come she couldn't feel any of them?
xxxxSo much for quiet observation, Emletsflower whipped around to look for her youngest, and her own. And she saw two gleaming eyes from out of the darkness in the back of the den. And then she remembered the others.
xxxx"Stay right there, and if you move out of this nursery before I have checked the others are safe, so help me Starclan, I will personally ensure you can't be an apprentice for another moon." Emletsflower saw her kit nodding out of the corner of her eye as she whipped round and out, and followed her keen senses - for all cats' senses are keen - towards where her kits had gone.


Chanterellekit


Tom | Chocolate brown | Kit | Chanterelleheart

xxxxChanterellekit had woken up after the other kits, but, of course, before his mother. His drab coloured pelt let him move away without being seen. Today was a good day to see if there was anything to play with in the nursery he hadn't found yesterday. So was yesterday, and the day before that, and tomorrow would be bound to be a good day for investigating again, as it always seemed to turn out to be.
xxxxHe wasn't sure where his siblings had gone, but they were bigger than him (Mummy said they were something called "adopted" but he wasn't too sure exactly what that meant yet) so not very good for playing with if he ever wanted to win games with them. They were fun if he didn't mind losing to play with, but Chanterellekit did, most of the time. Losing was sad. He didn't like losing. So Chanterellekit was looking for something to play with on his own.
xxxxA quick flicker of movement from Mummy made him jump slightly, looking up and straight at her, where she caught sight of his eyes immediately. He nodded quietly as she left.
xxxxHe supposed he could find more things to play with outside the nursery... But he really didn't want to be a kit forever. Chanterellekit's compromise between these two was to scurry over to the entrance of the nursery, and jut poke his tiny brown nose out into the air, looking around, with his feet still just within the entrance. See, he hadn't moved out of the nursery. Mummy wouldn't delay his apprenticeship. His chest puffed up, proud of his cleverness.


(I'm trying to do the narration using words the characters would choose for things, I'm not just calling Emletsflower Mummy for some reason)

[recklessgod]

Quickstar - Tom
Quickstar looked at Magpietalon and nodded his head slowly, "Yes, that would be a good idea." His eyes turned lazily to the freshkill pile. "Send the apprentices out too, separately, please. I'd like to see how they're doing without any help." Truth was, he wanted to see if any were ready to be warriors. Of course, they'd need to learn to fight, none of them had been in any actual fights, but that was good. Peace was good, but he figured it would end when the prey came back and everyone had enough to eat and were strong enough to cause problems.

Blackfire - She Cat
Blackfire yawned, stretching, as she woke up. The sun had already come up from what she could see. She padded out to see Quickstar on high rock and nodded to him before sitting down to clean her fur.

Crowpaw - Tom
Crowpaw shook his head as the kits left the apprentice den and nodded to his sister, Emberpaw. "Morning, Emberpaw. Want to go hunting?" He cast a glance towards the freshkill pile and winced. They had a lot of hunting to do today. He sighed and left the den, stretching.

Sneezekit - Tom
Sneezekit pouted fiercely as he was scolded by more than his adoptive mother. "I'm okay, Emberpaw. I just want to play!!" He slunk back to the nursery and plopped down unhappily in a nest, deciding that if he couldn't play, then he would sleep.

The white she-cat looked at Emberpaw, surprised to see the apprentice up. By the looks of it, it looked like the Clan was beginning to get up and start their day. "Well, you heard Emberpaw. Go into the nursery!" Lambblast told the kits, then turned to the tortoiseshell she-cat. "And good morning, Emberpaw! Nice to see that you're bright and early today." She raved.

((She can mentor Crowpaw, by the way))

*Grapeshine*
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Blackfire

Grapeshine spotted Blackfire grooming herself, and decided to pad over to the she-cat. "Ello, Blackfire! How are you today?" Grapeshine asked, sitting down beside the black and ginger warrior. Grapeshine herself then looked over at the fresh-kill pile. Sighing, she thought, If I were deputy, I wouldn't even let it get this close to empty.

*Mouseberry*
Where?: LightClan Camp, Medicine Den//Tags: Open!

The white she-cat noticed more and more warriors getting up, bustling around and communicating with one another. She heard Emletsflower scold at her kits and watched as the small bundles of fur rush into the nursery. It wouldn't be wise to go against anything Emletsflower said. Mouseberry thought to herself, slowly emerging out of her den. The medicine cat felt rather secure enough to leave her den and enjoy the fresh, cool air until the sun came up to heat up camp. Mouseberry crept over to the other end of camp, laid down, and enjoyed the air. She looked from side to side every once in a while just in case there was anything, anything she should be wary of. In reality, there wasn't anything to be worried about. The Clan's warriors were waking and that meant more protection, but Mouseberry wasn't buying it. She didn't want to depend on the rest of her Clan for her own safety.

*Quollkit*
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Sneezekit, Ravenkit, Emletsflower, Chanterellekit, Sneezykit

Quollkit's ears drooped down at the sound of her mother's voice. Emletsflower was terrifying when angry, but luckily for her, the calico wasn't only aiming her threats at her. "S-sowwy, mum." Quollkit mewed, leaping away from the entrance of the nursery.

*Sneezykit*
Where?: LightClan Camp//Tags: Nursery cats

Sneezykit was taken by surprise when he heard Emletsflower. "Right. Sorry, mom." Sneezykit murmured, sniffling. He bounded over to the nest she laid in. He hoped his mother wasn't going to blame him for anything, so he added, "But I wasn't going to go out there, I promise!"
