[TC] Clan Meeting [Apprentices, kits and mentors]

[*Nimbles*]

Autumnstar;
Autumnstar bounded from the nursery and pelted across the sandy floor before she took a running leap at her den. She pulled herself up quickly before she turned and looked down across at her camp. She sighed quickly before she gently began to clean her fur for a quick moment. The moss in the nursery had gotten tangled in her thick pelt and soon enough, she was free.
"All those old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the High Rock for a Clan Meeting," she yowled loudly. As cats began to gather she smiled at them before announcing. "We have apprentices who need mentors and kits in need of names," she said and purred. She enjoyed taking an active role in the camp life.
Her tail flicked side to side as she waited for the cats' to assemble beneath her but waiting made her nervous. What if the Clan didn't approve of her decision of mentors and apprentices? What is she stumbled with her words and instead of giving her blessing, she accidenly shamed them? She flicked her whiskers with indifference. If things like that were to happen, StarClan would stop it.
Her green eyes blinked as she came out of her thoughts before she began to pace on the High Rock, waiting for the Clan.

Orchidwing licked each kit carefully and gently. She make each bundel of cutness look very smart. Ocelotkit began complaining and squirming, trying to fight his way back to the tit. "Sorry sweety." She sighed. " But Autumnstar is waiting to present you four to the clan." She purred happily. It had been the most bizzare day. She had finally got what she wanted all her life, a family.

She proudly strutted across the camp, Ocelotkit dangling from her jaws. He padded her with his tiny paws in protest. Orchidwing set him down on a soft patch of ground under the hightrock and dashed back to get the other kits. She didn't want to leave them alone for to long. After carrying Pinekit, Berrykit and badgerkit across she lay down beside them. She curled her tail around them to keep the warm.

A black ear twitched towards the High Rock the summonses was called and cats began to move towards the source of the voice. One pail emerald eye winked open, the other of the pair fallowing more slowly, as the she-cat raised her head. Cats were beginning to press around the apprentice’s nap site of choice on their way to the High Rock, coming too close for her own personal preference. Muttering her grievances, Crowpaw stood shaking dust from her pelt and stretching each leg in turn.
Seeming to ignoring the second part of her leaders opening to what ever speech was yet to come, Crowpaw headed towards the High Rock, obviously in no hurry what so ever as she weaved gracefully between the other cats. Maybe I’ll be getting a mentor today, she thought hopefully; it was getting dreadfully boring just sitting around camp and hunting.
The sudden smell of a nursery caused the black she-cat to pause, turning her head towards its source and blink. Waiting until the mother left to gather the other kits Crowpaw padded up to the small kit and blinked down at it, pricking her ears with interest. It was amazing how something that could get so big as an adult started out so small, then again she supposed that must be how it happens for everything. Gazing at the scrap of fur for a moment longer the apprentice dipped her head and gave the kit a quick sniff before backed off. Her lips curled back in a cruel sort of grin as the thought of the kit’s mother not wanting the crazed rogue’s daughter near her precious baby flitted across her mind. Oh what a sight it would be is the mother came back to her hovering about her kit! But, Crowpaw would not be so cruel, not today during a naming ceremony for, most likely, that very kit anyways. Casting one last look at the kit Crowpaw turned and moved off a pace or so before sitting down and turning her attention towards the High Rocks.

[ooc=ahhh! to many cats! lol]

Bluepaw-tomcat-no mentor
Eaglepaw-tomcat-no mentor
Graytail-shecat-no apprentice
Raindance-shecat-no appretnice

A soft call, yet full of stasngth, called from above the THunderCLan camp on the High Rock. By now, Bluepaw knew his leader's voice by heart. His hear tlept forwards as he thought about the cermony. WOuld he get a mentor now? After training by himself for so long? He htought brifly about his age, eleven moons, and sighed. SLowly, yet burstling with energy, he got to his paws. He rushed passed the fresh-kill pile, noticing how scarnwy the prey was, and sat besides a an apprentice he didn't know. She was of the pelting of coal. Bluepaw, with his blue gray and white pelt, shivered. He wondered if she ever got hot during the summer with her dark pelt. HIs long, this whiers twiched in laughter and his blue orbs were a-glow with the giggles. A big paw drew over pirked audits and his robis egg blue eyelashs closed for a miliesecond before reopening to teh world around him. The sun glazed over his sleek pelt, highlighting the flecks of red that could be seen. Dropping his large paw, he wrapped his medicum leghth thick tail around himself and waited.

Hullo! BLuepaw! A cheerful voice called to the blue apprentice cheerfully as the tom-cat trottted into the camp, a moise in tow. Seeing he had arrived just in time for a meeting, Eaglepaw set his catch down and raced over to Bluepaw. They weren't the best of frineds, but they did know each other! EAglepaw leaned over and whispered ot the she-cat apprentice besides Bluepaw Maybe we will get mentor, eh? His watery blue eyes showed friend;yness, but also, deep inside, dark blood coursed through his veins, pumped by a good heart that was loyal to many. His shimmering white fangs, polished by his hunting, gleamed as he yawned and sat back. The small apprentice rolled his shoulders to relax them, snapping his attention back to Autumstar, his leader. Eaglepaw's stiped pelt of white, gray.brown, and black contrasted with the blue and black cats next to him.

A she-cat warrior streched as she proceded from the warriors den, She had just had a quick nap after a day out huntng. She nodded a quick greating at the three appretinces and one queen who had already gatheed. She stoped at once next to Orcahrdwing. She smiled and sat next to her. I didn't know you had kits! Who is the father? She asked. She looked aorund for any tom, but spotted no tom-cat warriors. Her black and gray pelt rubbed lightly in ORcahrdwing's. The two she-cats didn't know each other at all, but Graytail was kind ot any fellow THunderClanner! She blinked green eyes, waiting for an answer.

Another she-cat, dark gray in coloring, walked next to Graytail. It was Raindance. Raindance was younger then the twnety mooned old Graytail, being fourteen moons herself, but the two had become fast friends! She stopped next to her friend and dipped her head in greating at Orcahrdwing. As her right eye blinked, it satrnched the scar that went over it. With a small cough, she grinned sheepishly at ORcahrdwing. Fight with a badger wen I was just a wee apprentice gave me this sacr! She told the queen. Her green-brown eyes moved over the four kits. THey are beautiful! She gasps.

[Vampirecat]

Orchidwing's silver tabby pelt ruffled with pride. She smiled and greeted both shecats. "Dustfang is the father." She purred. Her eyes started flicking around the clearing as she wondered where on earth he could be. "He is probably sleeping. Poor thing. I think it was all a bit much for him."She giggled remembering earlier when he fainted. Then Raindance approaced and showed Orchidwing her scars. Orchidwing smiled when she called the kits beautiful. She bent down and licked them lovingly. "Well they are going to be a handful, I can tell you."

[*Nimbles*]

Autumnstar;
Autumnstar smiled as more cats filled out and into the clearing. She twitched her tail and quickly stopped pacing as she began counting heads to see how many had arrived. Her gaze stopped when she hit the blue grey warrior, whom she was very friendly with. She grinned, dipping her head at Smokefur.
Her eyes narrowed as she continued to watch more cats' fill the clearing before she dipped her head, motioning for Orchidwing and her kits to come forward. She hadn't performed a kit naming ceremony in a while and it felt good now, as she knew that her Clan was striving. Her only real rival in the forest was Dankstar, leader of ShadowClan, but again, he didn't pose much of a threat.
She twitched her tail and smiled, waiting for the kits to come forward along with their mother and father, if he chose to.

Smokefur;
Smokefur wrinkled his bright grey muzzle in a smile when Autumnstar had nodded at him. His pelt was still wet with dew as he had only just arrived back from leading the patrol. He lifted his great muzzle and watched the kits' with bright interest for a second before he looked at the two apprentices which needed a mentor. He knew that he would get one of them, would it be Crowpaw, a she cat full of viality or Bluepaw, the more cautious tom?
He twitched his whiskers with amusement and smiled. He had asked for another apprentice, his last had been made a warrior, and know the respected tom wanted one more. He enjoyed training new apprentices, he felt as if his spirit drove on in one of them.
Although Smokefur was a now ageing tom, he was still full of boundless energy. Autumnstar had often teased him about this, saying that he would live on forever, still acting like a kit! He grinned to himself, his thick grey tail wrapping neatly around his large paws as he observed silently with bright yellow eyes. He didn't know which apprentice he wanted. On one hand, Crowpaw would be a challenge but her energy would be amazing, but then again, if he caught the wrong side of her tongue.. He smiled and shook his head. Either would be fine.

OoC||
Eaglepaw has got a mentor. It's Sparklefur.
Oh and Grey, I have noticed that you often mix up your letters. The spelling would be correct if not for this, so slow down on the keyboard! I think that your fingers move to fast for the keyboard to register it!
So calm down and slow down! We can wait for a reply : )

[fleabittengray]

Graytail's eyes widened and her face brightened up. Good ole Dustfang! I am sure he will be a great father to your kits! She smiled as the kits mewed and cried and bopped each other on the head. They were so cute! She wished a tom-cat cared enough for her to give her kits! But, until then... A small sigh escaped her and she flicked Raindance unintentionally with her tail. The two she-cats had grown so close, on could mistake them for sisters. She listened as Orchardwing talked more about her kits and saw her eye Raindance's scares.

Raindance sat up straighter when Dustfang was mentioned. She had heard Graytail talk about him, but hadn't run into him lately. It probably was a shook to him! Not every day a tom-cat get a beautiful mate and beautiful kits! She knew it sounded corny, but it was a compliment all the same. Sh chuckled a bit at the thought of the kits being hard to control. She would be prepared for when they became apprentices, that's for sure!

[ooc=he does? okay, thanks! also, yes i type fast but also my keyboard is delayed. and after year sof typing fast i cant slow down, i will try though!

[\\*Rainstorm*//]

A white tom entered Thunderclan camp, dropping two mice and a finch in the fresh-kill pile before heading towards the Highrock to listen to Autumnstar announce the mentors of the apprentices and the naming of the kits. He sighed and sat, wrapping his tail around his feet and raising his large head to watch his leader. His dark eyes blinked in annoyance. Apprentices bothered him, but they were necessary to Thunderclan's safety. Then his head lowered to see who was there and who wasn't. Crowpaw, Orchidwing and her kits, Bluepaw, Eaglepaw, Graytail, and a few others. His sharp ears caught a comment from Orchidwing about her mate - "He is probably sleeping. Poor thing. I think it was all a bit much for him."
Darkclaw gave a snort. He could picture the tom passing out at the sight of something like that. He rolled his eyes and looked back towards Autumnstar, who motioned for Orchidwing to come forward. He watched until he heard a "Uh-oh!" - coming from the Warrior's den, from right outside he was sitting. Before the deputy could glance in to see what was wrong, a flash of short brown fur and wild yellow eyes passed through the den and crashed into him.

"So, so sorry!" Dustfang repeated for the millionth time before he backed away from the glowering deputy. He gave a sheepish grin and walked a bit slower to the highrock. "Hi!" He mewed to Graytail with a proud glint to his eyes. I'm a father! He thought happily. And I almost missed the kit's naming ceremony! I should be more careful unless I want to miss such things. He reprimanded himself.

Berrykit came with her mother willingly with a smile to her and didn't move from her spot while she raced back to get the rest of her siblings. Her eager amber eyes scanned the clearing, drinking in all the details. This was her first time out of the nursery, and probably the last until she hit six moons, she reasoned.

Berrykit may have come willingly, but Badgerkit pouted at his mother while she groomed his fur. He smiled and winked how he thought was coyly at the she-cats, though it must have looked hilarious to them, the tiny kit trying to flirt with them. Then he turned his head back while his father crashed out of the Warrior's den and crashed into the deputy. He burst into a gale of laughter, and Berrykit smiled sweetly.


(bleh, only Darkclaw's post was good from me, I'm not so great at RPing with more than one person/cat.)

[glow=gray,2,300]::Crowpaw::[/glow]


Frowned slightly, intent gaze resting on her leader for a moment longer before she lost interest and turned her attention to the cats gathering around the High Rock. What was taking them so long? She thought dully as she decided half of the clan must have either become paraplegics and could no longer walk or had just died judging on how few had come so far. She snorted in mild amusement at the idea of having a clan full of cats who could no longer use their rear legs.
Crowpaw blinked, subconsciously leaning slightly away from the new cat beside her and gave the young tom a sidelong glance. He was an apprentice but she knew nothing else about the blue and white pelted tom next to her. Her ear twitched slightly at the tom’s obvious amusement and, if cats had eyebrows, she would have raised hers in question, but since she did not the black cat settled for simply dismissing the tom all together with a foul tempered flick of the tail and turning her gaze away.
A shiver of rage ghosted up the black she-cat’s spine as the second male apprentice leaned towards her. Obviously this cat had no sense of personal space. A low growl started in the pit of Crowpaw’s throat as she fixed the speaking tom with a pointed glair, anger glittering in her pail emerald gaze. “I suggest you get out of my face, rat breath,” she said calmly, her voice surprisingly sweet and melodious for the amount of venom it held. “Or you may louse your eye.” Lips curling back in a snarl the slender she-cat unsheathed her claws, clearly ready to back up her threat if this apprentice pushed her.

OOC://
Heh, thanks and, uh, your welcome? Aha. ^^'
And, sorry I wasn’t on yesterday and that this took forever to type.
Heh heh… >>‘

[*Nimbles*]

Autumnstar;
Autumnstar nodded and began the ceremony in a solem voice. "Cats of ThunderClan and StarClan, ThunderClan has been blessed by the new arrival of a healthy litter of kits, their mother being Orchidwing." Although it was common knowledge on who the father was, it wasn't right for her to say it, so she continued. "They all stand before StarClan nameless and their mother has chosen the most appropriote name for them..." she said loudly. She bounded down and licked each kit in turn. "Ocelotkit, Badgerkit, Pinekit and Berrykit," she said, recieting their name and corresponding each lick to each kit.
"StarClan honours you and in turn we promise that we will train each of you to become warriors so that you can serve your Clan," she said and gently rested her muzzle on each kit before the kits' ceremony was over.

Moving on swiftly to the next ceremony, Autumnstar bounded back up to the High Rock and called on to Crowpaw. "It's time you had a mentor, Crowpaw," she said and flicked her tail to the space next to her. It was time for her ceremony now.

[~Kro~]

[glow=gray,2,300]::Crowpaw::[/glow]


Forcing herself to sheath her claws at the sound of her leaders voice, Crowpaw turned her attention back to the High Rock. Leaning forwards slightly as each kit received their name, the black apprentice pricked her ears in interest as the kit she had examined earlier received his name. she stretched forwards, trying to get a better look at the kit before rocking back onto her haunches. It was a fitting name, she decided, internally nodding to herself before her ego caught up with the rest of her mind.
Why did she care weather the kit’s name was fitting or not? She would probably never even cast the kit a second glance again, and here she was, all but fretting over whether a kit she did not even know other then a quick look and a sniff got a respectable name! Her head must be filling with down after having gone so long without any vigorous mental stimulation outside of hunting and cleaning herself.
It took the dark pelted she-cat a moment to register that her name had been called, not even mentioning what she was being summoned for. Pail green eyes blinked up at her leader for a heartbeat before realization hit and Crowpaw got to her paws, moving gracefully over to the space Autumnstar had indicated to. The apprentice had to try to keep her dark pelt from bristling as she felt the gaze of the clan shift from the kits to her. She could practically feel their disapproval, hear their thoughts... ‘Why even bother with that rogue’s kit? She’s impulsive and violent and will never be anything more then a nuisance. She’ll get the clan into more trouble that she's worth!’ That was where they were going to be wrong, the she-cat reassured herself silently, raising her head and tail as high as she could. She was going to prove them all wrong! She would do something great, something the clans would never forget! … She just did not know what yet.

[*Nimbles*]

Autumnstar;
Autumnstar twitched her tail as she watched Crowpaw. She knew that the apprentice would be harder to train... Altough she wanted to learn, she was too proud to listen, and when she did, then only would she would excel. Crowpaw, as she knew, had a vivid imagination. She seemed to think that the Clan was against her and that she felt inclined to always prove herself. She twitched her tail at the thought. When would Crowpaw learn that ThunderClan its self is home to cats which don't have the best background?
"StarClan looks upon you Crowpaw to work hard and earn your warrior name," she began and then cast her gaze towards Smokefur. "To do this, you will need a mentor," she said and smiled, but her voice still echoed with the mysterious-ness[? No idea if that's a word.. ^^] of StarClan. "Smokefur, you are patient, brave, sharp and calm teach these things to Crowpaw so that she can become the best she be," she said and dipped her head, inviting Smokefur to finish her ceremony.

Smokefur;
Smokefur flicked his bright grey tail when Autumnstar announced that we was Crowpaw's mentor. A bright ripple went through his fur as he padded forward. He knew that he would get attacked by her tongue at the very least! But he smiled and carried on. He knew that she would be difficult, but she would be a great apprentice is she was taught right. He flicked his tail as these thoughts crossed his mind..
Her heritage didn't bother him, it was the fact that she was full of venom, but somehow, he appreicated getting her. He saw her as a challenge, something to wake up for everyday. As he stood by Autumnstar and Crowpaw, he towered over them both. Although he was lean and quite slender, he was tall and angular. He flicked his ears and bend down to touch noses with the apprentice before looking at Autumnstar, who had flashed him a wink, and saying, "I promise."

[fleabittengray]

[ooc=since sparklefur got banned can eaglepaw have a differnt mentor? or will taht be to difficult?]
Bluepaw, seeing that a fight was about to satrt between the she-cat and EAgelpaw, placed his tail calmingly onto his shoulder. Cool it! he mouthed. Liek two teenage boys, Bluepaw adn Eagelpaw had becoem buddies. THe blue tom took one last galnce at Crowpaw as she walked up to receive her mentor, sighing when he didnt get one first. He bent his head and licked his chest, shaking slightly with envy. BUt it soon passed and he became his laid-back self again. He looked at Crowpaw and smiled encourginhly at her. No one said he wouldn't try to be her friend!

Eaglepaw was about to get to his paws when Bluepaw placed his tial on his shoulder. With a growlm, he sank back down. WHo was Cropaw to think she had it all? Did she think she was the only one not Clan born? She hadn't even tried to be nice to him! She woul dhva eto shange her attitud eif she didn't wanted to but heads with Eaglepaw. The headstrong tom-cat was about to say something nasty when Autumsatr begain talking again.

Graytail pured a hello to Dustfang as he approche dher. Dustfang! WHy didn't you tell me you had kits? What, keeping secrects from your frineds now? She playfully nudged his shoulder and laughed a bit before Autumstar talked more.
