Okay, so this post is a little later than what I would’ve wanted, but I’ve had a busy week 😛 I’m also a little tired, so, only one cat pic this time 😛 You’re getting plenty from Cadvent, anyway...
The seventh edition of the Blog Monthly is here – written by Lil, fresh off the printing press Hello, everyone!! The Blog Monthly is back and better than ever! I hope you all love this edition, in my opinion it is one...
Fallowpaw defends Appledusk.
Bristleflight shares their thoughts on their favourite character.
Skypaw looked around for her mentor
Emberstream approached Skypaw and flicked her tail, “Let’s go and train.” She meowed
Skypaw nodded and followed her mentor
Emberstream led Skypaw out of camp, “Ok, what do YOU think you need to work on?” She asked her apprentice.
(Reply to emberstream)
She smiled, her eyes lighting up, “Great, I thought I was about to be more embarrassed then I’ve ever been! I guess you should talk to our leader….” she purred, guiding him over to the leaders den.
Rain follow happily, “So, you help others, right?” He asked, trying to start a conversation with Fawnpaw
“Yep, point on! So, did you ever have any family?” She asked, padding into the leaders den.
Waterstar, lay in her den, and when she heard the 2 cats padding towards it, she stepped out.
“Need anything Rain or Fawnpaw?”
Fawnpaw pointed her paw towards rain, signaling him to speak, “Rain needs something,” she said, looking at the tom.
Rain looked away and sighed. Before he could speak, he heard Waterstar’s voice. “I was wondering if I could join the clan.” He said quickly before Fawnpaw could ask about his family
Waterstar smiled happily.
“Of course you can join the Clan! Just make sure you have some basic hunting and fighting skills, which looking at you, I assume you already have. There are a couple of foxes around here, but they should be far away by now, and as long as you have your Clan around you, you’re safe. Do you wish to take on a warrior name, or do you want to stick with Rain?”
She smiled happily at Waterstars reply, trying to ignore the slight anxiety gnawing in her belly from Rains quick reply to Waterstar after she asked about his family, “Come on, get a warrior name! I think it’d be cute for you to have a name like Rainslash!” She teased, nudging his shoulder.
Rain looked thoughtful, “Um, a warrior name, I guess.” He meowed, glancing at Fawnpaw
(Could his name be Rainfall?)
“You wanna know the best part about having a warrior name? There’s a ceremony where you get on that rock right above us and Waterstar announces it, the everyone stares at you with their slitted cat eyes and screech the name as loud as they can! At least, that’s what it felt like.” She said with a laugh.
Rain shifted uncomfortably at the thought, “They do?” He asked, the prospect of getting a warrior name not so exciting now
“Yeah….” she admitted “But, to late now gotta push through it!” She purred, “It’ll be fine, it’s over in like 5 seconds!” She added cheerfully, looking at Waterstar, “So, does he have to do an assessment or are we just giving him a name?” She asked, tilting her head.
“Oh! I must go, I completely forgot I was a medicine cat!” She yelped, walking quickly over to the med den.
(can we pretend Bear, Taqqiq, and Polar are in the clan already?)
“Puddlepaw!!” Bearkit said, “Come here!!”
“Okay!” Puddlepaw said as he came over.
“Can you take me out into the forest?” Bearkit asked.
“I-i don’t think I am allowed too,” Puddlepaw said, “But I will! For you!”
“YAY!” Bearkit said, “Have you ever been out?”
“N-no, my mentor has been inactive…” Puddlepaw muttered, “But that’s okay!”
Puddlepaw took Bearkit out into the forest, and there he saw warriors rushing to do something.
“Let’s follow them!” Bearkit said.
“Okay!” Puddlepaw said, and they started following the warriors, “What’s that smell?”
“I don’t know…” Bearkit said.
They saw the warriors fighting something, but then, the fox saw better prey, Puddlepaw.
“Uh oh, it’s a FOX!” Puddlepaw screamed.
“PUDDLEPAW!” Bearkit and Hollyear yelled in unison.
The fox was coming for Puddlepaw, but just before he got there, Bearkit pushed Puddlepaw out of the way, “Bearkit! NOOO!”
Bearkit got attacked by the fox, but Hollyear pulled Bearkit out of the way before she could get too injured.
“Every cat who is under 7 moons, climb up that tree!” Hollyear hissed, “Especially you, Puddlepaw.”
Cottonpaw stared at the fox and backed away “Puddlepaw are you ok?” Cottonpaw asked her head tilted but her claws came unsheathed as she backed away “Hollyear how are we going to fight it?” Cottonpaw began to claw at the earth ((Cottonpaw is 9 moons old btw))
“I’m fine…” He said, barely paying attention. He shot a worried glance at Bearkit, She was in a different tree, her mother Taqqiq was coming to get her and bring her back…
~Rick~
The tom came limping through the forest, when he recognized the flaming red pelt of a fox he knew exactly what to do.
“Hollyear claw at it from the back, Taqqiq hit it from the side, I’ll take it from the top, We need to confuse it” he yowled, he had foxes before, but mostly on his own, that was how he twisted his hind left leg into an unfixable position. he sped up a tree unsheathing his claws then silently landing on the fox, clawing at it.
“No, Taqqiq needs to take Bearkit back to camp before Bearkit gets infected,” Hollyear said, “We will need someone else.”
~Rick~
“Then you’ll need to cover both, Hollyear,” she said as fox shook him off,
“Come on then, we haven’t got all day” he said urgently.
“Okay, let’s go,” Hollyear said
~Rick~
The tom scaled up the tree once more, this time lunching himself at the creatures face, clawing at its eye.
“HOLLYEAR, YOUR TURN” he yowled as he dug his claws in so he wouldn’t fall off.
Hollyear did what she had to do (sorry not quite sure what I was suppossed to do)
“Yes!” Hollyear said, “We did it!”
~Rick~
“Well I better get going, Mich would want to play with me by now” he said then sped off.
~lily~
As Lily padded thru the forest she started to hear strange sounds…A fox!She raced thru the rough undergrowth till she made it to a small clearing, cats were battling with it, and in a tree were young looking cats, huddled together.She climbed the tree till she was staring right at them.
“I can get u out u out u just have to trust me ok?Everything will be alright.”
“Who are you?” Puddlepaw asked, then looked back where Bearkit used to be, before Taqqiq took her back.
~Lily~
“My name is Lily, now are u coming or not?”She mewed quickly.
Puddlepaw nodded, then foloowed her
~Lily~
Lily guided them past the the clearing and thru rough bushes, till they made it to the entrance of the camp, she walked in, and saw a large number of cats.
Sage cast a worried look to the sleeping ShyPaw, she had to tell her the truth…Before Sage had meet ShyPaw she had another mate, Leaf, they had a litter of kits but she left due to the fact she was to scared to raise them. “They’re better of without me…Plus ShyPaw is my mate now and I love her…”She tried to reassure herself.
~Lucy~
The breeze slightly ruffling her pale gray fur, Lucy flopped down on the grass and felt the sun warm her flank as she batted at her favorite toy- a blue polka-dot mouse.
Then a sweet smell reached her nose and she rolled back over abruptly, scrambling to her feet.
With a soft, outstretched white paw she gently touched the petals of the blue flower. The scent, the color, the smoothness of the delicate petals… everything about it was so familiar that it made her heart ache.
Tea trotted towards Lucy.
“Nice mouse you have there,” he mewed. “My Twolegs have plenty of toys for me, not that I mind, since scratching up their bedding is more fun anyway. How are you?”
Lucy glanced up abruptly, her golden eyes shining distantly before she came back to reality and smiled at Tea.
“Thanks,” she murmured, “This one’s my favorite. My twoleg… she had a lot of toys for me as well,” her voice cracked and she whiped her misty white muzzle with one paw, “and she always had a vase of violets on her table.. I- I just can’t smell one without remembering…”
Tea fluffed up his fur.
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” they mewed, his heart twisting with sadness.
~Taylor~
Stretching, Taylor picked out a piece of fresh prey, then settled comfortably on a patch of moss.
“Anyone wanna share?” she called with a flick of her long, striped tail.
~Crissy~
“I could” called the tabby she-cat and walked towards Taylor.
Skypaw looked at the wall of the apprentices den and wanted to go to sleep but couldn’t.
~Mushroom~
He ran up to Skypaw, dropping a mushroom in front of them.
Skypaw looked at the mushroom. “Why did you bring this to me?” She asked
~Mushroom~
“I don’t know.. I can take it back if you want!”
He got nervous, did they mess up? Did he anger the cat? They went to grab the mushroom back.
Skypaw suddenly felt bad. “No! It’s fine!” She mewed and went to grab the mushroom.
~Mushroom~
He accidentally hit her head with theirs, pulling back
“My apologies! I really didn’t mean to!”
“It’s fine!” She mewed. Then got up and picked up the mushroom then put it in a crack in the wall of the den
~Mushroom~
“I’m so so so so so sorry!!”
He backed up from her, not wanting to annoy her.
Skypaw looked at him “ it’s fine! Please don’t think I’m mean I just have a hard time saying things nicely” her eyes clouded with worry
~Mushroom~
“No! No! Its not that! I just.. don’t really know how to act around other cats..”
Frogpaw paced around camp, wanting to do something.
Skypaw went out of the den and stared at Frogpaw
“Hey Skypaw!” Frogpaw meowed. “Do you want to sneak out of camp with me and go hunting? If we catch something, maybe we can impress our mentors and then we can get our assessments sooner!”
“If we sneak out of camp we might actually have to be made warriors after everyone else. And I would love to but no” she mewed back. Skypaw then went past Frogpaw and sat down and looked at her paws.
“Okay,” Frogpaw huffed. I’ll just go by myself.
Skypaw watched Frogpaw go then followed her quietly making sure she was going to be ok
Emberstream watched the two apprentices carefully. She narrowed her eyes as Skypaw followed Frogpaw. “What are you doing?” She whispered, darting over to Skypaw.
Skypaw jumped, “ I told her something and she ignored me so I thought I would follow her and make sure she was going to be okay” Skypaw looked at her paws feeling guilty.
Emberstream nodded approvingly, “don’t go to far from camp, and if Frogpaw seems to be getting into trouble, tell me.” She ordered, curious about where the apprentice was heading
Skypaw looked up and nodded then continued to follow Frogpaw.
Splintertuft sat making a nest for no apparent reason
Puddlepaw ran to the medicine den, wanting to see if Bearkit was alright.
“Will she be alright??” Puddlepaw asked the medicine cat, he cast Bearkit a worried look.
~Mushroom~
The cat wandering with a small bundle of daisies in his mouth, he didn’t know what to do as of now, and he just finished collecting new flowers.
(please interact!)
Puddlepaw accidentally bumped into Mushroom, “Oops, sorry… Have you seen the medicine cat? They need to help Bearkit,” Puddlepaw’s gaze shifted to the med den, he missed Bearkit, she was awesome.
“Hey, I don’t recognize you!” Splashpaw yelled, running over, “Are you new? Are you in the clan? Are you a warrior? Oh, did I introduce myself? I’m Splashpaw! That’s my wimpy brother, Puddlepaw.”
~Mushroom~
He jumped slightly, he didn’t expect these two to suddenly run to him
“Uh- My names Mushroom..”
His voice was muffled due to the flower bundle
She trotted over to Puddlepaw, “Oh, I’m so very sorry! What does Bearkit need help with?” She asked apologeticly.
~Mushroom~
He looked at the medicine cat, their mouth still full of the flowers.. Oh goodness, cats were starting to crowd him! They backed up some
Frogpaw crept silently across the forest floor following the scent of a mouse.
Skypaw followed them through the trees making sure she was quiet
(In response to Crimsonpaw and Emberstream)
“So, are you having your warrior ceremony or not?” Waterstar asked, smiling
-Maplepaw-
“WHAT?” She cried, jumping up. She had just seen Frogpaw slip out of camp.
“Skypaw! Do you know where Frogpaw is?” she asked, flicking her tail towards the tunnel.
“I’ll ask Yellowclaw.” she mewed, heading towards a (insert colour) ed she-cat. “Do you know where Frogpaw went?”
(Can you join my roleplay?)
Emberstream stopped Maplepaw, “Shh, Skypaw is following her.” She meowed gently. “Don’t get the whole camp in a panic.”
Yellowclaw raised her head.
“Hmm? Frogpaw? I don’t know, I can’t keep tabs on where everyone is at any one time.”
Rain nodded freverntly, “Yes, Waterstar.” He meowed
