Frostedstar looked around the camp, watching as the apprentices scuttled around camp, waiting for their first patrol outside of camp. *I'm sorry. You would've gone out sooner, but the clan /has/ to have fresh-k!ll...*

Lightningstrike sat in the darkening shadow of Raggedtree, waiting for Skypaw and the other apprentices.

Loudstorm sat next to Lightningstrike, grooming his fur.

(p00p! I just noticed MCR has Auroraclan's RP going. XC)

Bumblewhisker looked around the camp for Steampaw. She was eager to get to know the young apprentice, that is after all an excellent bonding technique. *Now where is that 'paw'?*

Riverstone ran over to loudstorm and lightningstrike. "hey arent you excited? your a mentorlightning strike!"riverstone said to him cheerfully. She sat next to the two toms underneath the ragged tree giving them both a grin.

(what do all of the symbols mean tak?)

Sweetfur was licking her plump belly out in the camp.

(The hearts mean they have a mate [Blue I'm assuming is unkown to the Clan], and the colored dots are next to the mentor and apprentices, each pair having the same color. -Hallo)

Lightningstrike's expression turned sou. He stood and padded off to another tree.

Loudstorm flicked his tail at the young warrior. "Hello Riverstone."

(*unknown)

Pinefur sat in camp, eyes closed and sitting stock still, taking in the smells and sounds of the winter forest. He would often meditate like this for hours when nothing was happening.

(Each apprentice has their own color and it's matched to their mentor. The pink hearts mean that they have a mate/have nated, and the blue hearts is a "complicated relationship" thing)

(*sour)

Foxclaw was sleeping quietly beneath the ragged tree.

(So close!)

(hiiii)

Windfur bounded out of her den with great enthusiasm. She stopped hopping once she was out in the open and continued heading towards the Ragged tree.

(That's alright, Tak. People will probably just reply a bit slower. :3 )
Rabbitpaw breathed in deeply as she padded out of the apprentice's den, legs stretching. Since the ceremony, the reddish she-cat had become confident and comfortable, making sure to take a nest as near to Steamkit as possible. She looked around with bright eyes, spotting Loudstorm over by Lighteningstrike. With a laugh, she bounded over, slowing and nodding at the white warrior respectfully before almost tackling her mentor in excitment. "Loudstorm, what are we going to learn today? I'm up for anything!"

Riverstone was saddend by lightning strikes reaction. "loudstorm how come no matter how hard i try lightningstrike doesnt seem to care?"she said quietly. She looked at loudstorm with big kitten eyes.

(Guh. I have so much to do. Both in real life and on here. I'm gonna have to do those things first, then come back. Bye for now!)

(Darn, it takes me much too long to write comments! ^^' She nodded to Lighteningstrike who was leaving, and Riverstone.)

Bumblewhisker's fur began to stand up the more she got frusterated. "Steampaw! Steampaw! We need to use as much time as we can before the sun sets! Steampaw!"

(Should Sweetfur recieve her sign now?)

Loudstorm pretended to have been hit by a bagder and dramaticall fell backwards. "Hello, Rabbitpaw." he meowed. He looked back at Riverstone as he lay in the snow and meowed, "Don't bother with him. He's like a piece of rotten prey. Once he's gone rancid, you can't eat it. If you do, you get sick...and you can't undo a spoiled piece of prey."

( can mee yoose hee wo must not bee nameeeddd {<Slypha's broooooo})

(Maybe we should wait for the other RPers before a sign. -m-')

(can meeeee?)

(Alright, I can wait.)

hey tak can you please tell mcr wolf that i wont be able to rp on aurora clan or on here im sorry its just that im having family issues and my stepdad took away my 3ds so i cant rp i may get it back tommorrow or the next day im sorry tak i hope that you understand....

Rabbitpaw chuckled at Loudstorm's drama, then followed Riverstone's gaze. Her smile fell slightly. "He is just misunderstood, I think. Like Morningfinch, but less smelly." She sat beside Loudstorm with a sigh, waiting to see what would happen today. *I'm actually being a helpful part of the clan now.* She smiled at the thought.

Cheetahblaze clawed at the ground full of boredom. *Where is Sylphapaw?! I'm losing my fur here! Good thing that's not true.*

(I may not be able to RP... I'll try to. I just have a lot on my mind... If I don't show up, MCR, SonicS. or Rynne can use Steampaw/Sunstripe)

Foxclaw padded toward Cheetahblaze to have a coversation with the pale tom.

Loudstorm rolled over and stood up. "No. He's not misunderstood. I understand him fine. I was his mentor after all." the tom sighed and looked at Rabbitpaw. "Let's go ask Frostedstar if we can practice some fighting moves."

Frostedstar dozed off at the camp entrance.

( @inca, how about you RP as your current cat?)

( @hallo, it's alright. :p)

(Sorry if I'm slow, I'm also looking after my little brother. He got food poisoning...)

(ok... just would like to use him this RP if possible.) "Cheetahblaze! What are you doing?"

Bumblewhisker sighed then stared at the sunset as it turned the sky many shades of purple and red. "I guess it could wait, until I find him."
Cheetahblaze looked at the senior warrior. "Hey Foxclaw."

(Ay, I have to shower now. be right back.)

The reddish cat perked her ears up at the senior warrior's statement, trotting to keep up with Loudstorm. "You were his mentor?! How many apprentices have you had?" She tilted her head at him, and almost tripped over her large paws.

Cheetahblaze watched as Sylphapaw ran over to him. "Hey Sylphapaw!"

(I'm here! I was at gymnastics and I showered right after. What'd I miss?)

Loudstorm shrugged. "You're the 5th." Loudstorm meowed over to Frostedstar, "Hey, Frostedstar. Could I take Rabbitpaw to split-tree to train?"

Frostedstar's ears perked up. "Sure, Loudstorm."

(the mentors are thinking avout taking their apprentices out to train.)

"Do you want to go train? We haven't done a lot of training yet."

"Yeah, I've been thinking about some battle practice at the Split tree, or hunting practice." Cheetahblaze mewed.

"Battle practice sounds interesting."

Rabbitkit bounced in place, stubby tail thrashing. "Thank you, Frostedstar!" She could barely contain her excitment, but she kept herself relatively still, pacing back and forth in front of Loudstorm. "I can't wait! What will you teach me today?"

Loudstorm nodded and padded our of the camp. "You're first time out of camp, huh?"

(Hey Tak, why did you pick Lightningstrike for Skypaw? I'm curious.)
Skypaw stretched and headed towards Lightningstrike. "Hi, Lightningstrike. What're we gonna do today?" Skypaw tried not to sound /too/ upbeat, it would probably make his mentor grouchy.

Kestrelkit looked around camp. She decided to go over to Windfur. "Are we going to go train?" Kestrelkit asked.

(the warriors present at the last RP and stats were why)

Lightningstrike looked at his approaching apprentice. "Come with me." He stood and padded towards the entrance.

(r we going battle training or wat?)

"Alright then. Let's see if Frostedstar will let us get out at camp."

Rabbitpaw nodded fervently, eyes glued to her surroundings. The sunlight filtered through the trees and dazzled her amber irises, and the dirt felt springier than under her paws. Her nose breathed in the mossy smell, bringing an estacay so deep she bumped into a tree or two.

(Where's everyone? D:)

Loudstorm chuckled. "Pay attention. Follow me and don't fall behind." Loudstorm started to bound down a snow covered hill.

Rabbitpaw smiled in embaressment, then followed Loudstorm down the hill, more often sliding than walking. Her eyes were wide as she tried to keep her footing in the deep snow.

"Ok!" Sylpha followed Cheetahblaze.

Lightningstrike stopped and meowed to Frostedstar, "I'm taking Skypaw out to train."

Frostedstar sighed and nodded.

Loudstorm made sure he didn't go too far ahead of Rabbitpaw, but he kept a good distance between him and his apprentice.

(I'm back. Sorry I took so long.)

(hey tak, um, well in aura clan i have shadowstorm, whos kit and maye died. can mosskit find out her real mother is shadowstorm and shadowstorm sees her kit alive? mcwolfeh told me i should ask you :)

( @happy, why haven't you been here? And I just want to keep it with Sunstripe as all their mom)

( @happy, why haven't you been here? And I just want to keep it with Sunstripe as all their mom)

Foxclaw grinned his signature sheepish smile, "Heya Thunderheart," he meowed.

Mosskit watched her fellow clanmates be apprentaced before in dismay. she played the vision over and over and she struggled not to wail in anger. *SHE was better than them!* She padded to the nersury, cursing its presance. Mosskit sadly went over to the medicine cats den to see if sweetfur was there.

(colors is bein stupid)

Cheetahblaze trotted over to Frostedstar. "I'll be taking Sylphapaw to the Split Tree."

(um, i was eating dinner after school)

Frostedstar meowed, "Wait. There are other mentors and apprentices that will be there. Make sure you teach them the same moves."

(How old will Sylphapaw be when she becomes a warrior?)

mosskit sniffed and peered in. "sweetfur? are you there?" she walked in slowly. "sorry i havent seen you in a while....." She paced around a pile of berrys she reconized as juniper from her accident. She tripped over one, spilling the contents of a pile everywhere. She replaced the pile neatly, and sighed.

(Are we gonna do the sign with Sweetfur today?)

(it just depends on how long her training takes her.)

Sweetfur looked over, "Oh, hello Mosskit," she meowed.

Foxclaw pawed the snow off of his nose, "Hehe, that was cold. Anyways, I'm great today! Hey, would you like to go hunting?" he asked.

(o3o so what happened)

(yeah, if MCR's still here she can.)

Lightningstrike glanced over his shoulder as the camp barriers faded out of sight. "Follow me." he hissed to his apprentice.

"fine, thank you," she awnsered politely. "the sunset is magnificant!" she watched tiny flakes float lazyly down onto the already layered ground of snow.

Cheetahblaze dipped his head. "I will." Cheetahblaze signaled Sylphapaw to follow as he went through the entrance.

Sweetfur decided to step out of her den for some fresh evening air. She suddenly felt an odd pain behind her eyes.

(sorry @inca I accidently deleted that last comment. And, the kits have play fought too, but that doesn't make them better at real fighting. XD)

Mosskit saw uncertainty flash in the she cats eyes and mosskit padded rather quickly over. "Sweetfur, whats wrong?" She touched her tail tip to her flank offering reassurance.

Skypaw obeyed without question.Now that he had time to look around at the forest, he liked it and felt safe in it. *The trees don't look so scary when you aren't lost.* Skypaw remembered the time he chased that mossball out of camp and got lost.

Kestrelkit walked up to Windfur. "Hello, Windfur. What are we going to do today?" She meowed.

(oh and mcr do u mind giving me info later on losteye that i can include in my ref?)

*This... feeling... it's familiar... StarClan?* The call of the kestrel echoed around Sweetfur, as if she were surrounded by the birds. She took a sharp breath and was 'back' in camp. She blinked when she saw a kestrel feather drift down to her paws.

( @Happy: Sure.)

mosskit watched sweetfur, and flinched. seeing her that way felt weird, mosskit thought. she shuddered and glanced at her closely. (oh mcr can u tag the derpy mosskit to #mossygifts? that was halarious and it would be eaisyer to get to XD XD XD)

Lightningstrike suddenly veered to the right. "Come on!" he hissed viciously and started moving faster.

Mosskit looked surprized, and glanced at the feather. "where in starclan has that come from?!" she jumped back and saw the look in sweetfurs eyes. "starclan......starclan! they sent you a message!" she exclaimed.

Sweetfur stared at the feather, then ran quickly to Frostedstar, "F-Frostedstar! Frostedstar!" she called.

Skypaw struggled to keep up with his mentor. He was in an uneven jog and panted nervously. *What's Lightningstrike gonna do? Where's he taking me?* (Can a cat even do that? 'Pant nervously'?)

"Sw-sweetfur? what did they tell you?" she looked frightened, and peered at her paws. *what if the forest was doomed?! or what if it was good?* she thoughet. *yes. i will stick with that.*

Frostedstar's head snapped up. He was on his paws in a second. Meeting Sweetfur half way through the camp and meowed, "What is it Sweetfur?!"

She raced after her, her eyes wide with worry. *What had happened?! oh no!* she raced harder trying to catch up with the medicine cat.

She skidded to a halt beneath frostedstar, to startled to speak. *what had happend?* she shook her head clearing away her thoughts and consentrated.

(XD I don't know.)

Lightningstrike sharply twisted around and pinned the apprentice by the shoulders. "You must always be aware of your surroundings!" he barked (XD).

Sweetfur panted heavily, "It was... a sign... from... StarClan!" she gasped.

"a-a-...starclan-...feather...." she said phanting hard. "appear.....from-......nowhere-" She sat and hung her head. Why couldnt she speak? she gasped after blurting the words. *n-no! that didnt sound right at all!" she whispered a word and looked up at sweetfurs bewildered face.

(Lol, my dog is trying to attack my hairdryer XD )

(sorry,had to do something. and Sylpha /thinks/ it helps that she play fought XD )

Frostedstar leaned closer. "What did Starclan say?" his eyes were wide pools seeking knowledge. (COLORS, YOU BIT<H!)

(wut are the apprentices learning?)

"Kestrels... and... a kestrel feather... Kestrelpaw is to be my apprentice..." Sweetfur meowed.

(ikr -_-')
mosskit shuddered at the thought. *dead cats randomly visiting you! poor sweetfur!* she shuffled her paws remaining silent. who knew when her tongue would fail to comply what she wanted to say.

"Are you sure? Couldn't it mean something else? If it's true, this is great news!" Frostedstar meowed.

Loudstorm reached the split-tree. He turned and watched his apprentice follow him.

"That, or we'll be going bird-watching," the tabby joked. "Kestrelpaw IS to be a medicine cat," she mewed with a smile.

Cheetahblaze bagan walking ahead, the cold ground under his paws chilling him to the bone.

Mosskits eyes widened. "krestlekit always rambled on about being a medicine cat! we thought she was n.utz!" she flinched, now regreting her teasing. her eyes cast downward and she fiddled with her paws.

"eh....um....." mosskit embare
essedly shuffled her paws continuously. "hey frostedstar.....well, im sorry. i was just sad about losing a clanmate. i thought yoy could save her by getting sweetfur, but i now understand you must of had your reasons. i understand now why u punished me and i am truly sorry."

*embarea.ssly

Frostedstar nodded gleefully, then his smile faded to a frown. "I will have to tell her mentor though..." Frostedstar looked down at the kit. "Mosskit, she's Kestrelpaw now."

"oh yes! im still getting used to that!"she chuckled. (i have to go :/ sry wish i could stay)

Sweetfur nodded, "Alright Frostedstar, I'll leave you to it."

Skypaw screeched and wriggled under Lightningstrike's paws. He tried to get him off, but it was in vain. He did manage to get in a few bites on Lightningstrike's forelegs, though.

Frostedstar meowed to the kit, "I'm glad you are mature enough to realize this. You must be respectful to all cats. This does not shorten your suspended apprenticeship though." Frostedstar looked back to Sweetfur, "You'd better come with me."

Lightningstrike lightly smashed a paw on the apprentice's head. "This is /training/ you flea. We don't hurt eachother...although, we /could/ train that way if you insist."

(sorry if im being slow, im doing multiple RPs.)

Sweetfur blinked, then nodded, "Yes sir."

(Er... I gtg... my mom's trying to take my 3ds away, so I MUST HIDE ITTTTTT)

(ok. Guess it's over. Everyone's leaving. :p)

(Noooooooo I'm here I just had to do something!) Skypaw shook his head vigorously. "I'm sorry, Lightningstrike! It won't happen again! Please don't hurt me!" *Why can't I have a /nice/ mentor? Lightningstrike acts like he's better than everyone and has a thorn in every paw! Wait, he acts like he has /three/ thorns in each paw!*

(ok...we'll keep going. :p)

Lightningstrike leapt away from the apprentice. "Now what are you going to do?! I'm a fox invading camp! What will you do?!" Lightningstrike jolted around the small apprentice, acting like a fox.

(im still here! i just have nothing to RP. dats y i want to RP with dat dude cat. it might spi.ce things up to add him into the RP!)

Skypaw thought carefully, but fast. "I'll hold you off, keep you from attacking the kits and elders!" He leapt toward Lightningstrike, but not too close. *He might tackle me again.* Skypaw dodged around, trying to distract the 'enemy' and got in some blows with his claws safely tucked away.

"No! You take to the trees! Grab the kits and climb the trees! A fox-" He leapt and grabbed the apprentice around the throat with soft jaws. He stepped back and hissed, "will stop at /nothing/ to k!ll every last cat."

im here!

Skypaw nodded, determined to get things right. *I guess I'm gonna be a strong warrior, all right. /If/ I can put up with getting yelled at for moons.* "Got it! Take to the trees with the kits!" Skypaw responded. He got up and shook loose soil off himself. * Every cat? Then I'd have to make sure I get up the tree fast. I better not mess up. Stay focused.*

(hello )

sorry i was late i had to finish a huge book report

is this a strike against me (since i wasnt here for most of the rp)

"Climb that tree! Climb it fast!" Lightningstrike yowled, paws hot to run at the apprentice like a vicious fox.

(well, no because you were acyually here.)

(lol that apprentice is training for the army)

oh XD thanks ^u^ i really love rping with you guys and btw i have been so lost can you bring me up to speed?

Skypaw clambered up the tree, afraid that Lightningstrike would chase him up the tree. He got up safely and quickly, and caught his breath on a branch. *This is exhausting... He's ruthless...* "I'm up!" Skypaw panted.

(Oh my god, Inca. That's the best.)

Honeydew purred as she licked the snow off her fur. She loved the feeling of being warmed by the soft licks of her own tongue. She also remembered when her mother Windfur would lick her clean. "Ah sweet memories" she murmured happily

Lightningstrike dug his claws into the tree's bark and shot up the tree. "Here is a move only warriors get to learn. Apprentices do not learn this. Do you understand? You may NOT tell /any/ cat about this."

As Honeydew finished she decided she wanted to hunt so she padded through the snow and reached Frostedstar then she asked "May I go hunting?"

Skypaw looked at his mentor. "I promise." He said sincerely. *If I told anyone, he'd have my head!* Skypaw scooted aside to let Lightningstrike have more room on the branch.

Frostedstar thought for a moment, then meowed, "Well, there are quite a bit of cats gone...alright. You may go, but be back before moon-high."

"Ok" Honeydew mewed as she headed towards the camp entrance.

Lightningstrike grinned. "Good. Now, imagine an enemy cat below us. An unsuspecting intruder wishing to harm those whom you love. You wait for the right moment, when they are almost directly below you, and you leap!" Lightningstrike flew from the tree branch and landed on the snowy ground with a thud. "Pounce!" he ordered.

Skypaw obeyed and jumped from the branch. *No one's gonna hurt my family!* He landed on a big drift of snow, causing it to puff up. *Maybe this won't be so bad....*

As Honeydew entered the forest she began to run and then stopped as she smelt a nearby vole. "Yum" she murmured happily as she crouched down and began to stalk it.

"Good. Now do it again! This time, aim for me!" Lightningstrike stepped back and waited for the apprentice to climb the tree again.

Sylphapaw watched various cats as they did their various things by the ragged tree.

She watched various Lighningstrikes doing various things with various Skypaws.

Honeydew closed in and pounced. Then kiIled it instantly with a bite to the neck

Skypaw climbed back up the tree, happy that Lightningstrike had said he did nicely. *Now to do even better!* He sat on the branch, aimed, then jumped again. Skypaw landed right on his mentor, just as he was told. He stayed on for a second or two to assess his balance, then slid himself off and landed neatly on the snow.

imma go to Shriek rp since hardly any peeps are here

( @inca, they're not in the camp)

Lightningstrike snorted. "Make sure you land with all of your strength. This is meant to k!ll other cats. This is Iceclan's secret attack; Aerial ambush."

(by the ragged tree)

"Got it!" Skypaw said as he climbed up the tree to try again. This time, as he sprung off, he thought about protecting his clan and landed on Lightningstrike. /Hard./ He stayed for a split second, then jumped off again, gasping for air.

(Ragged tree is IN the camp, Split tree is by the river. She wouldn't be able to see them if she was by Ragged tree...and Lightningstrike and Skypaw aren't by Split tree)

Lightningstrike swept the apprentice off his paws with a simple paw sweep. "Not on /me/ you fool. /Never/ attack me like that again."

(I have to go now)

*But you didn't say I wasn't supposed to land on you! Great. And just when I thought this was gonna be better.... Why'd Frostedstar have to give me this grouch?* Skypaw thought.

(Akita, neru. I almost fell asleep on accident. Goodbye, see y'all tomorrow. Oyassumi mina.)

( ... :,( missed it again. Sorry guys, i'm trying but with so much work i cant get on early enough this week :( )
