cat name: tumblekit (-> tumblepaw -> tumbleweed)
gender: tom [ he / him ]
rank: kit
clan: no mans land
age: 3.5 moons
prompt:
tumblekit lived up to his name and was known to be quite a clumsy little fellow. he was constantly getting into little scrapes
or bumping into things, which frequently leaves his nose red and sore. he can often be found in the medicine cat's den for
small wounds being treated, or just hiding from anything and everything. tumblekit is a very timid kit, and tends to be quick
to cry or be easily pushed around by other cats. to calm him down or make him feel better his mother would usually give him
a small, de-thorned prickly pear to snack on, which is basically the equivalent of giving a child ice cream to get them to stop
crying. he would take small bites while sniffling, trying to preserve his snack from being covered in his small, salty tears.
Although he may be timid, weak willed, and rather small in stature, he is an incredibly smart kitten! he tends to over describe
things and use words that other kits don't really understand. this has made it hard to make friends, and others find him a little
odd, but he doesn't mind all that much. being such a young cat with an above average knack for being literate, older cats often
come up to talk to him and enjoy his company. tumblekit even sneaks out of the clan when he is feeling particularly brave and
practices reading old signs or loose papers drifting along the dunes.

(name) came from a Twolegplace... but ended up wandering away too far. How did they manage to end up in Shoreclan territory? It'll always be a mystery to the clan cats. The other mysteries would be the oddities that the kit brings up from their former life. Oftentimes, (name) likes to discuss the "books" that they've read and looked at, which the kit constantly talks about. They claim to be a literate cat and that their Twolegs taught them how to read. For example, the word "red" can sound like "read", however it's not to be confused with "read" which sounds like "reed". They're also fond of a Twoleg treat called ice cream, although having too much of it made their belly hurt and they would wail to their owners for some tummy rubs to help them.

“Young one, it is time for your training to begin.” Riverreed declares. “You will begin—”

“Wait!” Cries the kitten. “I want to be a healer! I don’t want to wait three moons!” The red molly is shocked. Her tail twitches in slight annoyance and the kitten can tell she is about to refuse.

“Riverreed!” The healer emerges from her den. “I accept this kitten’s request!” The kitten gasps with joy.

“Now hold on a moment.” Riverreed begins, looking irritated.

“But first!” The healer interjects, ignoring Riverreed. “He must pass…the exam!” Riverreed pauses, looking interested. She nods for the healer to proceed.

The kitten laughs to himself. An exam! Easy. He thinks. I have no weakness so I will be ready for anything!

“Tell me kitten.” The healer says, looming over him, an ominous gleam in her eyes. “Are you literate?”

The kitten screams in agony. “Oh no! Illiteracy is my only weakness!” The healer laughs.

“It’s to late to turn back now!” She leads him into her shadowy den and the kitten shivers in fear. The healer continues “I have gathered the necessary ingredients.” Suddenly the den is illuminated, revealing… a cookbook!

“You will make me ice cream according to this recipe… if you succeed, I know that you are worthy. If not…” the healer pause. “Well you better not fail, or else.” The kitten shakes as the healer locks her gaze onto him.

“I hope you’re a fast learner kitten.” She says, laughing maniacally.

Letting her paw graze the side of the book, she squinted at the tiny markings of blotches of ink that were scrawled across the page– she needed to remember how to literate,to know what it said. Starting at the first few splotches of ink, she started to decode the hidden message, pausing as she deciphered the first word. H-i and then the next, tracing her paw over the splotches of ink.

L - O - O - K__ B - E - H - I - N - D__ Y - O - U

Huh? She swung her head around, gaze searching her surroundings, but there was nothing, except the red fall leaves blowing towards her, rolling her eyes, a huff of annoyance came from her jaws.

‘’What was I expecting?’’

She turned back to the page, trying to figure out the word, but she didn’t understand, it was a heap of letters.
A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H tilting her head she frowned, that couldn’t be right maybe it was this instead. H - G - F - E - D - C - B - A

Slamming her paws against the paper, she let out a sigh, this was pointless, why was it so hard? despite the annoyance that bubbled up inside of her, she continued, decoding the markings, and spelling out the words.

C - H - I - L - L she hissed in annoyance, it was as if this piece of paper was talking to her.

H - E - R -E __H - A - V - E__S - O - M - E__I - C - E C - R- E- A - M before she knew it, a ice cream cone suddenly came into her view, she looked around, hesitantly waiting for someone to claim it . But there was no one, slowly crouching down next to the ice cream she hesitantly let her tongue graze the top. And then she heard a voice, no letters, just a voice, an obnoxious one too.

‘’Hey, save some for me!’’ Her head lifted as a cat came into view, wrinkling her nose she pulled the ice cream closer to her, acting out a scowl, and a look of pure disgust.

‘’No.’’ she watched as the cat recoiled, jaws parting in confusion.

‘’ B-But you have to share–’’ seeing the look of disappointment on the other's face, she let a chuckle fall from her jaws, the act was over, she couldn’t keep it up. Before nudging the ice cream toward the cat, she pulled the piece of paper close to herself. she’d share the ice cream, but not the paper… ever.

L'u was a very small cat ever since birth he was even smaller than Red the robin friend he has both L'u and Red enjoy eating ice cream that the twolegs usually drop after going to the summer market since Red was literate he could tell when the summer market would be open so they can go enjoy more ice cream!

Prompt:
"Why is a CHILD teaching me to read?"

"It's not my fault they were the only one interested in being literate." Mumblecry drew a paw over his ear. "And besides. You're not the brightest bulb in the sea."

"What does that even mean?" Nightfall grumbled.

"Just an expression. You wouldn't understand." He nudged the kit, who was preoccupied with his rune. "They would, however."

Actually, they weren't really sure what he was going on about. But they were busy trying to read something about how to mix milk into ice cream, so they didn't bother correcting him.

Nightfall sighed, nudging them out of their place. "Well, if they're so smart, why don't they start teaching me already?" She leaned over the page the kit was looking at, scrunching up her nose. "How do I start? Press this red thing?"

"Wait-" The kit started, but it was too late. She'd exed out their recipe... and it'd take Mumblecry ages to type that back into the searchbar.

And they hadn't even wanted to teach anybody how to read. Not fair.
