Rainstar's Nest

[fawkes]

Ivytail emerged through the entrace to the camp, holding a thrush and a mouse in her jaw. The hunting had been okay, though she had had to venture particularly far from the mountains in order to find some prey. At least now she could eat. With a little bound, she reached the fresh-kill pile and set down the thrush, deciding to keep the mouse for herself. She sat down to eat her meal, her eyes scanning the camp in search of a fellow warrior.

{{I don't have a school holiday now... I wish I did, though. Especially since I'm all tired from Daylight Savings. Bleh.}}

Ooc: Hey guys. Just a heads up. Please try not to have convorsations on the rp boards ^^; Its kind of spamming and rather annoying to see when your expecting to see posts for the rp. Either chat over pm or take it to the chat-away board. Thanks~

Bic:
Scarface didn't like the idea of looking for a bunch of loners to gather for the clan, he new that Starclan would find a way to make the clan larger themselves, but he couldn't dissobey Rainstar. He left her den to overlook the camp, he could make the patrols later, they didn't really need them right now.
He noticed that there was a new kit coming inside the camp, did they find her in the mountain and desided to bring her to the clan? Scarface would have said no, but it wasn't his desision to decide that, it was up to Rainstar.

Alderfur blinked as Snowpaw dropped the vole at his feet before bouncing away. The gray tom sighed and sank down onto the cold ground. Normally he would have a cozy, mossy nest but leaf-bare had made it harder to find bedding. He picked at the piece of prey but decided he wasn't very hungry, and abandoned the meal. Standing up, he began to pace back and forth across the camp, his pads making small scuffing noises on the rock and dirt.

[Kato.Dragon]

The sight of Alderfur pacing make Scarface smile. "You got ticks in your fur, Alderfur? Or are you just being impatient about something?" Scarface had walked over to the old tom and sat down a tail length away and wrapped his tail around his feet.

Alderfur sheathed and unsheathed his claws, his tail lashing more. "Like I said, I'm only 105 moons. Still young. You can't just expect me to sit in that freezing hole and play with clods of dirt while having an apprentice wait on me. I need to do something!"

(( Gotta go, shower time. Will be on tomorrow, never fear! ))

((*Spazzs* You guys! I am SO sorry! I didn't notice all the posts! X____x;; *Sits down and writes* Haha, now there is more members, it leaves me in a difficult position xD;)

BiC: Rainstar noticed Alderfur's grumbling. Despite his rudeness, she purred in amusement. He was very loyal to his clan, so Rainstar could see why her announcement had upset him.
"Oh, pardon me, Alderfur. You can, of course, go and catch a few lively hares whenever you feel like it." She was, of course, joking, but that ought to make him put a sock in it. Or, it might rev him up more. She hoped it wasn't the latter. Hopefully Snowpaw's catch would distract him.

Looking across the clearing as her nose twitched at an unfamiliar smell, she was surprised to see a new kit bouncing around. That was rather quick.
She let out a yowl to catch the young cats attention. "You there! Come here, please." Rainstar decided to adopt an expression of distaste. The truth was, she didn't mind the kit, in fact it was quite handsome, but her tactic was to see how they reacted to peer pressure. After all, she knew nothing about this newcomer and whether she was brave, scared, bold or just plain weird.

((Hey, guys- Do any of the apprentices actually have mentors? If not, i'll have to do a massive naming ceremony xD))

[Bluestar]

Frosteye padded up to Rainstar.She meowed "Rainstar,this is Goldkit." referring to the kit that was bouncing around.

((Snowpaw does not have a mentor))

[Dragon]

((Yeah, Snowpaw doesn't have one lol.))

Snowpaw heard his leader's call and padded over to her with the rest of the group. He waited until Frosteye said something and then blurted out in excitement, "She can be a apprentice too right Rainstar? It would be nice to have another apprentice around here!"

[Bluestar]

Frosteye turned over,and whispered quickly to Snowpaw ,"I hope that Goldkit can be a member of MountainClan,but that's for Rainstar to decide."

_{Goldkit heard the distaste in Rainstar's voice. A small hint of uneasiness tugged at the back of her mind, but she banished it angrily. She would show no fear, only the fierce inner heart that she was renowned for. She sat near the leader, awaiting her to speak next.}

[Sable]

Alderfur seemed to perk up at Rainstar's suggestion. "Good idea, the Clan could use more food. I'm better than an apprentice any day!" Before anyone could protest he limped quickly toward the outer mountain, seeming to be an excited young kit again.

[pokes]

Annoyed slightly by the silence of the kit, she frowned a bit. "What is your name, young kit? And where are you from?"

She would've asked more, but she then noticed Alderfur. "Wha-?" She mewed as he staggered out of camp. Suddenly she realised that he had taken her comment to heart. She scowled, and turned to face Snowpaw. "Snowpaw, please go after Alderfur and retreive him for me. The mountain is fraught with danger for an old, lame elder like him. There's a good boy. Catch something while you're at it, show him up a little." She winked knowingly at him, before turning to the small orange kit before her.

((Would Frosteye be willing to take Snowpaw on as his apprentice?))

[Dragon]

Snowpaw sighed at the fact he had to go chasing the elder cat since he wanted to see what would happen with Goldkit. He gave a nod to his leader and ran off chasing Alderfur. "Alderfur! Wait!" he called out.

<sub>Goldkit sat in front of Rainstar and waited, blinking. She was happy to be here. Something here was familiar... A memory came to her, from her past.

The blizzard had snowed the cats in the cave. Her silver father groomed her pelt, making it glossy like the snow outside. A bad blizzard blew, and everyone was cuddled together, the elders telling their tales. "It was huge, I swear!" Midnight said enthusiastically. Her 'uncle' tom, she thought, could be really silly sometimes. She herself was very small, so she had no room to talk, but she was quite sure there were no cats bigger than one of the boulders that dotted the mountain. She had sneaked out of camp and watched her father, Silvermoon, hunt many times, and had never seen one of these fabled 'cougars'. But she still watched Midnight with unblinking green eyes as he recounted the tale of the monstrous beast. "He leaped out at me, fierce roar echoing in my ear fur. He left a scar on me," The tom took a few seconds to groom himself on one hind leg. A faint scar was visible. "But it has long since healed by now. Anyways, it chased me through the snow, but I ran into that cave everyone is saying was haunted. It ran in after me, and I saw its kit. It was as big as me!" Some of the cats' eyes seemed round as saucers as he continued with widened blue eyes. "I turned and fled from the cave, because one of its claws could kill me, post haste. It grabbed its giant kit and followed me, eager to feed me to its evil offspring!" The jet-black tom stopped for effect, tail fluffed out and eyes huge. Goldkit didn't understand this emotion, fear, just the deep love in her heart at being with her father and brother...

The memory cut off there. Goldkit felt her eyes begin to water but she banished the tears. At least I have SOME memory now, she thought, looking at the bright side. She turned back to Rainstar, still awaiting the leader's decision. Goldkit realised she had asked her a question, and gave a start. "Oh- sorry. My name is Goldkit." She decided not to answer the leaders other question.</sub>
