Re: Cattail Pond
??? @Fuzzy @spade It felt like deja vu. The ebony tom could have sworn he'd been here before. At least the smell was familiar. Thinking back on it, he most likely was. Afterall this is where he met that weird, cannibal, happy go lucky tom. But before that as well...ah yes. When he'd met those two kits in the river...than that big tom. What was it his name was again? Bumble...Bee? Shaking his head, the loner shuffled around the little ponds, too much to think about at the moment. |
Re: Cattail Pond
Copperpaw twitched his tail. "Um." Why was Cottonstrike staring at him? Was something wrong? Did he do something wrong - oh. Yeah. It didn't take him some getting used to, cause he felt.. natural with it. "Your mother. Fennelheart, I.. I didn't get along with her. She absolutely hated me. So, yeah??" They should focus on the task at hand. "Let's not get distracted by my petty kitten rivalries," he smiled. |
Re: Cattail Pond
@spade @Starfall Petuniapaw would tilt her head at the warriors mutter. Talk? Killing? She didn't quite catch what he had said, part of her feeling like it was noisy to try and figure out what he said. If it was under his breath maybe it wasn't intended for her to hear. That was the most she made out of it. That it was something she shouldn't hear. Or she was just reading far to far into it and he was just being quiet for some reason. Nah, that wouldn't have been it. So, not quiet knowing what he's said she just gave a little nod. That worked at times. Pushing the thought from her mind Petuniapaw would try to focus on his next string of words. He was opening up to her slightly? Well he was telling her things. She wasn't sure that was expected... maybe this was a start of a friendship? Or at least a semi good Clanmate to Clanmate relationship. No no, this was just getting confusing. They would just have to see if they became friends. "Mmm, I will try not to test your patience. I wouldn't want to upset you for no good reason." Petuniapaw stated. She would much rather this be a peaceful time, fighting among Clanmates was never good and she hated the idea of starting one. So, giving a smile she would follow Kestrelwing from camp, staying a bit behind him to allow him to lead. He was the warrior here after all. He had completed his training and earned an honored place in the Clan. That alone bought him respect. "Thank you for letting me come along, even if it is just so your... bane of existence?... won't follow you." Petuniapaw thanked him glancing up at the warrior. Upon glancing up she noticed that they were going to Cattail Pound. She had a lot of found memories here. Mister Ms. Sassyfire had taken her here on their first training session together. She had fallen into the water and gotten them wet. They taught her how to fish here too. And Fennelheart taught her to swim, along with the rest of her group. In New-leaf and Green-leaf it was nice and warm. The water had all kinds of minnows that were honestly a bit dumb, would swim right up to your paw in the water and let you cat them. The bigger fish where another story. She had jumped into the water to catch the first big fish. Had gotten soaked but she ended up with a decent sized fish in her mouth so it had all been worth it. An amused huff left her as she remembered the fond memories of this pound. It was one of her favorite places now. All of RiverClan really gave her found memories, even if some places had more sad ones than found ones. Taking another look she had to blink a few times. There was a cat moving around the pound. He looked like some cat she knew but at the same time he looked like a complete stranger. Was it a formal Clanmate? Or was it a loner she had seen on her way back? She wasn't quiet sure... "Umm, I'm sorry to bug you but who is that? He's probably a Clanmate, isn't he..? I just hadn't seen him sense I have been back..." Petuniapaw commented to Kestrelwing, stopping a bit before the reached the pound. She wasn't close enough to catch his scent, which maybe was an indicator that she should move closer. |

Re: Cattail Pond
??? @Fuzzy @spade At this time, the Loner had shuffled to one of the shallower ponds, finally taking a good look at himself. He had dried up leaves buried in his fur, a few grass blades, his fur was all knotted and coated in a pretty thick layer of dirt. He could have easily been mistaken for a dark brown tom at this point. Wincing at his reflection he took a deep breath and hopped into the freezing little pond. Dipping his head in, making sure to get all the twigs and sticks and leaves out before he himself hopped out. Shaking himself off, violently, the feline failed to notice two strangers approaching. Now only mildly damp he felt satisfied. That is, until a loud voice interrupted his cleaning. The ebony feline turned around, looking at the pair with an annoyed glint in his eyes. He looked from the tom, down to the molly. The shorter one sparked a foggy dream. For some reason he could see her...but so much smaller. Ears swiveled forwards as he continued to hold a staring contest with the Molly. Until the loud one started speaking once more. With an annoyed snort the Maine Coon mix narrowed his eyes. "What's it to you?" he huffed, tail lashing behind him. "If you're from that clan with the fish, I'd like to go back to the Camp now. Last time I ran into a happy go lucky cannibal. You two don't seem to lean that way." he stated, looking between the both of them once more. After a few seconds the feline tilted his head to the side. "Hey. Is that tom still here? What's his name...errr. Beebelly? Oh. Bumblebelly. Him." he asked, brows quirked as he awaited an answer. |
Re: Cattail Pond
@spade @Starfall Kestrelwing, winced? Wait why did he wince? Petuniapaw wanted to ask but his answer came before she could. So, the tom was a loner. Hmm Did that mean they needed to take him to see Mister Sootstar or run him off? That she didn't know. She watched as the tom got into the water and washed off the dirty stuff that had been stuck on him. Spirits he was brave for a loner! Most cats didn't dare get into the water like RiverClan cats. Though she had to admit, she missed swimming while she was away. She continued to observe him, noting in surprise that he was a black cat not a dark brown cat. Petuniapaw hadn't expected that! However, her amber eyes were shifted to the warrior beside her again as he let out a loud warning to the loner. Oh right! She should be ready to fight if this breaks out into a fight! She hadn't had to do that in awhile... surprisingly if you left cats alone and just minded your own business most loners and rouges would ignore you. So, on her way back from the Twolegs she hadn't had to fight at all. Just got caught between one fight with Mister Thorn and Ms. ThunderClan medicine cat. Ah that wasn't the point! She needed to pay attention. Looking back at the loner across the pound she noticed he was staring at her now. Was something wrong with her? Or did he recognize her somehow? Petuniapaw would keep his gaze, mind searching for a reason why he would be staring at her when she hadn't spoken to him. Yet it seemed he had turned to Kestrelwing, making her do the same. What where they going to do. "Are we going to run him off? Or ask him to leave?" She asked quietly. That seemed like a good idea, ask first then if he didn't leave they could use force. However, yet again, her attention was taken by the loner. Clan with fish? Back to camp? Bumblebelly? Wait was this loner a formal RiverClanner?! "Do you mean RiverClan?" Petuniapaw asked, glancing at Kestrelwing shortly after to see what the tom was thinking of this. "Also... Mister Bumblebelly hasn't been here for a long while..." The tom had disappeared before her if she remembered right, he was a cool cat but for some reason was no longer here. Maybe he was catnapped by twolegs as well. |
Re: Cattail Pond
♠ Kestrelwing ♠ @Starfall @FuzzySo this little tom wanted to be bold, huh? Kestrelwing almost felt bad for him, to be so abrasive towards a Clan warrior - and one with a thirst for battle, no less. "You might find it wise to watch your tone," the gray tabby snapped, his voice cold and sharp. He wasn't in the mood to deal with any kind of attitude, and the familiar rage of anger seemed to be swirling about once more in his belly, threatening to erupt in the same fashion as it had back in camp. Except this time, the focus of his attention was an outsider, not a Clanmate. Perfect. |
Re: Cattail Pond
??? @spade @Fuzzy The tom's eyes narrowed at the molly's comment. "I can hear you." he snapped, tail thrashing behind him. "You can try to run me off, but I'll get to the camp eventually." he huffed. He kept his scowl as he looked between the two. He was beginning to wish the cannibal was here instead of these two...specifically the tom. The Loner let out an annoyed huff and sat himself down, making sure his posture was somewhat proper. "You might find it wise to watch your attitude." he barked back. Anger bubbled up in his stomach. He wasn't sure, but being talked to like this just ticked him off. It wasn't like he was older, and he was asking them for a favor. Though he could probably find it on his own. But there was something else that was itching in the back of his head. "Riverclan yes. Also, I was a member before. But the people who took me in left...or disappeared. So I did too." he shrugged. His 'family' wasn't there, so why should he? He hadn't really made any connections. But the thing was, he couldn't find them. So here he was again, one of the only places he could really remember. He kept getting this sick feeling whenever he was too far away, something continuously pulling him towards this place. As Petuniapaw spoke up the ebony tom let out a sigh, "I was hoping he'd be back by now. That's fine I've gotten big enough to where I could be by myself." he huffed. Dark blue hues flickered with uncertanty as he was asked about his name. Brows furrowed together. What was his name. Surely he remembered that one tom giving him a name...but it never sat well with him. It felt..off. So of course he forgot about it. The Maine Coon tilted his head from side to side as he thought, brain screaming at him but he couldn't quite articulate what it was in the back of his mind. Did it start with an F? Fear? No that was dumb. F- hrk what was it F"Fallen." he muttered aloud. Finally. The buzzing stopped and it was quiet once more. |
Re: Cattail Pond
@spade @Starfall [Sorry this is so late guys ;-;] Oh, he heard them... Petuniapaw wasn't trying to be rude, really she wasn't. She just wanted to know what she was supposed to do, or what Kestrelwing wanted her to do. Than again, the warrior was ignoring her, fully focused on the outsider it seemed. That made sense, he was a possible threat and she wasn't. Still, Petuniapaw would have liked an answer... Instead the tom asked about the other toms name. That was a good question! Even if the black tom seemed to take offense by how it was asked. Honestly, if both of the younger toms settled down this would have gone so much soother. However, who was she to butt in? Wasn't like she was in charge of either of them or had any authority at all. Really she didn't want any either. "Oh," She let out in surprise before she could stop herself. So, he was formal RiverClan! Maybe that was why she recognized him. If he lived in RiverClan at the same time she did than it made sense that she'd seen him at some point. Though, his reason for leaving was kind of sad. All his family left, she hated that. At least she still had Bizzardsky other wise she would be in the same place as this loner, er, ex RiverClanner was. "I'm sorry to hear that." Petuniapaw would comment not really sure what else to say with this. Her amber gaze would flicker between the toms a few times, really not sure what to say. The apprentice just knew that there was a loner or former RiverClanner and Kestrelwing staring each other down. Seemingly neither liked the other but she was not sure. Petuniapaw did find interest in the black toms name. Fallen... She knew that name, well she knew it on a different cat but not this one. Mister Fallenstar was the only Fallen she could remember and this young tom was not him, possibly related but they were not the same cat. "Well, Fallen.. paw?" She guessed, assuming he was an appretnice if he was a former RiverClanner. "I am sure we can peacefully talk this out of you are a former RiverClan cat, right?" The patched tabby asked, glancing up at Kestrelwing as she did so. That made sense for her. "I mean even if you, Fallen, weren't I think a peaceful route would be better than the two of us having to fight you... A fight is really not the best thing in the mist of the cold season, its really not a good idea if you can avoid it..... ehh, um sorry Kestrelwing..." Petuniapaw rambled, before cutting herself off a whispering an apology. The molly had forgotten that the warrior she was with didn't like apprentices or talking. |
Re: Cattail Pond
➳ Kestrelwing Each time this tom opened his mouth, it dragged at Kestrelwing's pelt like thorns. Irritating, brash, and downright just painful to listen to. Like a kit begging for it's mother during it's apprentice ceremony. The anger that had just started to bubble threatened to overflow now, and the gray RiverClan tabby let out a warning growl. Former RiverClanner or not, he would not allow himself to be talked to in such a way. "Careful," he snapped, making sure the weight of the threat landed heavily before moving past it. Now was not the time to attack this newcomer. |
Re: Cattail Pond
Oddpaw was... bored. Bored bored bored! The small snow flurry the day before hadn't laid enough for him to have that much fun and now the sky was empty. Oh, how disappointing!
He let his own paws take the lead, walking along the soggy, mushy ground. Oddpaws large droopy ears enjoyed the squelch of bubbly mud under his paws. The sensation was enough to make a giggle bubbe up from him. Oddpaw paused, lifting his head to sniff the chilly air as frost his snout. Was that Fishspeckle he scented?! "Fish! Fishyspecky!" He called out loudly, turning around on his long muddy paws to see if he could spot the warrior. @Willowfern |

Oddpaw gave the warrior a big goofy smile, his head tilted and ears drooping thanks to the help of gravity. "Dont know yet! I thought I'd let my paws decide," the young feline giggled, bouncing forward a tails length. "But what are yooou doing out here?' |

Oddpaw let out a thoughtful hum, turning on his lithe legs to glance at the pond. He'd only waded in the shallows so far, his long legs making it easy as pie to just... not swim. "Can you teach me?' He chirped, turning back to Fishspeckle. |
Re: Cattail Pond
'........It was so...serene.'
By the side of the pond, enveloped by some thick reed stalks, a sizable puffball of fur and fluff rested quietly, half snoozing and half-fishing, though many a sleek minnow darted before her with such speed that ripples followed them along the surface. Koiripple had yet to make a move on them though, her paw dangling placidly over the water's edge, partly in wait and partly because she was just about ready to shut her eyes completely. ~open~ |
Re: Cattail Pond
It was a relatively calm day, ideal weather for a bit of fishing. The sun was shining and the breeze remained nearly nonexistent. As Berryscorch approached the cattail pond, her vision scanned the surface of the water, finding it peaceful and undisturbed. Without hesitation, the molly plopped down at the water’s edge. With the ideal conditions acting in her favor, it wasn’t long before she’d caught three small fish. Satisfied, she picked up her catches and headed back to camp. |
Re: Cattail Pond
Gentlefoot followed him to Cattail Pond. She took up a position at the edge of the water, waiting for a fish.
@PoppySeed |
Re: Cattail Pond
Cloudysky sat at the edge of the pond, also waiting for fish. He watched the water carefully, as to not miss any fish. He saw one, average sized, and scooped it up out of the pond. He caught it in his jaws and quickly gave its neck a bite, killing it.
@Moon Kit |
Re: Cattail Pond
"Nice catch," Gentlefoot complimented, before quickly scooping out one of her own. "You're a good hunter, Cloudysky!"
@PoppySeed |
Re: Cattail Pond
Cloudysky nodded and mumbled thanks. He saw another fish, this time in the smaller side, and caught it as well. He placed it next to the other fish and looked back to the pond.
@Moon Kit |
Re: Cattail Pond
Gentlefoot quickly caught two small silver fish that were swimming together. She looked at them critically. "Not much of a meal," she said, "unless you're a kit or you're eating both of them."
@PoppySeed |
Re: Cattail Pond
Cloudysky shrugged, "Oh well. I'm sure a kit will enjoy it." he said. He looked down to the water and watched for any fish.
@Moon Kit |
Re: Cattail Pond
Gentlefoot sighed. "I guess so." She was still displeased, but figured it could be worse. She watched carefully. There weren't as many fish now.
@PoppySeed |
Re: Cattail Pond
Cloudysky saw a fish and he caught it. That was three fish now for him. Two average sized ones and one on the smaller side. He looked to Gentlefoot, "You ready to go back to camp?"
@Moon Kit |
Re: Cattail Pond
At that moment, Gentlefoot scooped out a fish-a bigger one, too. "Yeah, now I am," she said, satisfied.
@PoppySeed |
Re: Cattail Pond
Cloudysky nodded and picked up his fish. He stood up and waited for Gentlefoot to stand up as well.
@Moon Kit |
Re: Cattail Pond
She grabbed hers as well and stood up, walking toward camp.
@PoppySeed (Do you want to post in the clearing them coming back, or should we just finish here?) |
Re: Cattail Pond
Lillyheart padded over to the pond, went to the edge, and was looking around for a fish to hunt. She spotted a few fish, but they weren't close enough to catch from the edge of the pond.
|
Re: Cattail Pond
Spiderpaw ran around in circles around a few areas of the pond, careful not to fall in and accidentally drown.

Re: Cattail Pond
Following the meeting Heronflight decided to go hunting. She wanted to be useful and their pile was low as patrols hadn't went out. Why did both leader and deputy go missing? What was Riverclan going to do without them? She had no clue, but she had to stay strong for her clan. They needed to see that nothing would go wrong for their clan again. She headed out toward Cattail Pond as most likely there were more cats hunting in the main territory. Heronflight headed out towards the pond. Maybe today was the day she would actually try to fish. She had seen her clanmates do it many times, so maybe she was able to now. She didn't mind getting her paws wet. It was like she had been born in this clan. Everyday she wished she had been. They took her in and gave her a better life. This time she wouldn't screw it up. She owed them so much. Plus maybe just maybe if she came here she might find scents of the missing high ranks. Well she wished she could. It would never happen though. // open \\ |
Re: Cattail Pond
fishtail prowled around for fish and met a riverclan warrior

Re: Cattail Pond
Heronflight padded up to the pond, looking down into the water. It had been a while since she had seen her reflection. All she saw was her past mistakes. She ignored it and waited for a fish to swim by. About a couple minutes later she saw one appear. She focused her lower eye on it. She strikes with her jaws and grabbed it, throwing it on the bank. It wiggled, trying to get back into the water, but she managed to grab it with her claws. She gave it a quick bite, ending its life. The black and white molly was proud of herself. She did good on her first try. She wasn't entirely sure it was the right way, but it got it done. Didn't it? Of course! She peered into the water, trying to find another one. None appeared,s o she moved around trying to find a new spot. Heronflight sat down again and waited. // Still Open \\ |

Barkfuzz was near the other side of the pond, sniffing at some strange dead plant in the grass that he had never seen before. He hadn't noticed Heronflight's approach, and leapt back in surprise at the sound of splashing water. Looking up he saw the she-cat with her newly caught prey. "Nice catch, Heronflight!" the tom called. His fluffy tabby fur was knotted and dirty as usual, with bits of twigs in his pelt that he could never seem to remove no matter how hard he tried. Trotting over he plopped down into a seated position beside his Clanmate. "Isn't today just beautiful? It's amazing how pretty leaf-bare can be sometimes! How are you doing? Is everything well with you?" |
Re: Cattail Pond
Foxblaze padded about two tail lengths from the water and stopped, turning to her apprentice. “Today we’re practicing fishing, know anything about that?” She asked with a genuine smile.
@Shadeleaf (sorry had some stuff going on.) |
Re: Cattail Pond
@Willowfern
Barkfuzz trotted confidently over the frosty earth, his fluffy tail swishing eagerly as he went. His dark green eyes sparkled as they darted back and forth in search of any movement. As he neared the pond the warrior slowed his pace and became a bit more alert, beginning to carefully scan by moving his head back and forth with precision. |
Re: Cattail Pond
@Aquilex
Fishspeckle ________________________ Fishspeckle slowed along with his hunting partner, “Do you smell anything?” He whispered, lifting his nose to the air and checking for scents, he smelled a mouse scent... it was a bit stale, there was also a smell of other RiverClan cats, someone else must have been hunting here not too long ago. “It looks like this spot was used for hunting recently, we should find a different spot then,” Fishspeckle meowed, headed in another direction. |
