Re: [RiverClan] River Race
**Codwhisper** The spotted tabby pushed on ahead. He focused on keeping his paw strokes steady and sure. He'd caught back up to Asterhawk and couldn't afford to lose any more time. He saw something in the water ahead but decided he wouldn't worry himself over it. He pressed on forward, trying to get as much of a lead going into the next obstacle as he could then address the problem when it arose. |
Re: [RiverClan] River Race
Honeystream waved her tail in excitement. While she was an adequate swimmer - she wasn't the top of RiverClan. Nonetheless, she loved it. Throwing herself in the orange she-cat turned her paws and used her tail as a rudder, the best she could. Soon, her face scrunched up in concentration. The waters were a bit tougher than she had originally expected.
Keeping green eyes focused forward to try and avoid rocks, the young warrior used her ears to try and avoid her clanmates. |
Re: [RiverClan] River Race
Mintleaf watched as the cats cleared the third sector. @xath forgor about this I think
[Asterhawk rolled a 6! +1 pt @Aqua Catrina ] While pondering about why the water was green, you weren't looking how, and you got tangled in the greens. Don't worry though! brush it off! [Codwhisper rolled a 20! +3 pts @Ravensong ] Your tactic somehow... worked? the problem was the greens, but the speed you put on let you break through the kelp without worry, with record speed as well. Good job! [Honeystream rolled a 17! +2 pts @Carmela ] You wave right by the rocks, and don't worry, you notice the seaweed and kelp and move around it with ease. Keep going! You're past halfway there! [Flickerpaw rolled a 5@ +1 pt @xath ] You try getting around the greens, but you get caught in a tall kelp plant. Your small size doesn't help here, and you get stuck for a little bit. Keep on going, even if you can barely see Codwhisper at the front by now. Standings: Codwhisper: 6 pts Asterhawk: 4 pts Flickerpaw: 3 pts Honeystream: 2 pts Prompt 4: The penultimate segment looks fine, but as you get closer, the water is much colder. there are chunks of ice? in newleaf? no time for questions. Just don't get slowed by them! [ @WillowBlows12 ill get you in next segment] |

Re: [RiverClan] River Race
|| Flickerpaw | @Glitch_Candle || (OOC: I didn't forget, I had a 13 hour OR shift and this race went too fast for me ;-; going to respond to both race prompts in this post. Thanks for the tag!)A groan of despair leaked from Flickerpaw’s mouth when they felt the slimy slip of riverbed plants tickling her feet. If there was anything that the shadowy apprentice despised it was the ickiness of algae and other assorted green things touching her unexpectedly. Luckily their strategy of bouncing off the myriad rocks interspersed in the current had launched them from their abysmal place behind the other competitors; Flicker focused her pallid glare on the back of Asterhawk's glare and paddled with almost angry intensity--ignoring, with classic stubbornness--the water ferns and sword plants that brushed against their belly and kicking limbs. A splash upstream had Flickerpaw’s ears swiveling backward, but she dare not lose her concentration. Of COURSE there would be last-minute stragglers elbowing their way into the competition! Well, Flicker wouldn't give the the satisfaction of catching up! She growled (spitting out another mouthful of murky water) and pushed through the burn of her lungs, the ache sinking into her legs… Sorry. Was that ice? Flickerpaw’s eyes nearly bugged from their skull. Surely this was a trick… Twoleg garbage or something. Flicker attempted to avoid these bizarre obstacles all the same, ears pinned back as she sneered suspiciously at each chunk of ice she passed. |
Re: [RiverClan] River Race
Breathing a sigh of relief the RiverClan warrior was happy to have made it through the first leg of the race. Kelp and seaweed tickled her paws, but she was able to shorten her kicks barley grazing their sticky grasp.
As she moved forward with gritted teeth the water went from tolerable to shockingly cold. Her paws prickled at the change and eyes slitted against the small chunks of ice. What was this?? It was Newleaf! Ears pinned to her head she was sure she looked like a drowning kit. The cold moved to her legs and shoulders which made movements stiff. Shaking water droplets from her eyes she saw that she was still in the back. I'm going to lose! A rush of energy trickled through her body at the fear of being last. Taking longer strokes with her leggy limbs, Honeystream rushed toward a boulder. As she moved a good sized bit of ice was taking over her path. Holding her breath she ducked beneath the surface of the water to avoid it. Still making way to the boulder, the orange tabby took her front paws to it first and brought her back legs to crouch, then launched from the rock. Breaking the surface she hoped the momentum would aid her. |
Re: [RiverClan] River Race
Mintleaf watched as the cats passed the penultimate sector. [ @WillowBlows12 heres your tag][ @Ravensong bump on this as well]
~Asterhawk rolled a 16! +2 pts[ @Aqua Catrina ]~ Mintleaf watches as you seemingly... bat? at the ice? and you don't lose time? hmm. good job! the final sector is upcoming! ~Flickerpaw rolled a 7! +1 pt[ @xath ]~ Your small body made it hard to keep up with the other cats- as the water was cold from the ice, and you have less body heat. You are too cold to go fast enough to catch up to the other competitors yet, but keep trying! it's still possible! ~Honeystream rolled a 13~ +2 pts[ @Carmela ]~ The cold was no problem for you. You swim right through it. Keep going, you might not lose! Prompt 5: The finish line is visible, but there is a wave! better outswim it, if you get below an 11 you'll get washed to the shore, and have to go back in for 0 pts . Standings: Asterhawk: 6 pts [1st place, won my tiebreaker] Codwhisper: 6 pts [2nd place, lost my tiebreaker] Honeystream: 4 pts [3rd place, won my tiebreaker] Flickerpaw: 4 pts [4th place, lost my tiebreaker] Steamtail: - pts[pending] |
Re: [RiverClan] River Race
Asterhawk blinked, the finish line was ahead! but he looked back and there was a wave coming, "oh well, why not ride it to the finish line?"
