ThunderClan's Friendship Games
[MOSSBALL TOURNMENT] [OPEN for all kits to play, and any warriors or apprentices to watch and cheer kits on!] After ending the meeting, Flintstar spent some time digging some holes in the ground near the back of the camp, clearing away the snow and using his claws to dig up the rough earth. The holes didn't have to be big, but he made sure they were deep enough to hold a mossball. "Alright Duskfeather, you go get any kits from the nursery who want to play, and I will make some mossballs." The leader then padded over to a small pile of moss he'd collected, sitting down and beginning to clump them together, waiting for Duskfeather to come out of the nursery with the kits interested in playing. @hxneysuckle [Any kits who are interested!!] [ @MagicCat99 @Starfall @Blissie Bliss @Cecily Herondale @FluffycatbuttsUwU @Sociopathic @dawn feather @FuzzyRatto @leafpool+crowfeather @Dust @Bristlefrost @wick @Fae @Sneakyfox55 ] |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
Mossball? What in StarClan's name could that be? Silversky thought to herself as she watched from the shadows. Her white and grey pelt bristled. She was one of ThunderClan's newest arrivals. She was afraid the others would shun her. Was she even supposed to be here?

Re: ThunderClan Clearing
[ These are two separate posts, with clones of Duskfeather! ] [ @FlameSta @Bluepetal ] Taking notice to the warrior's words, Duskfeather narrowed her eyes, her teeth bared in warning. "I have already warned you about violence within our camp. You have no right to speak to an apprentice in such ways, nor any other cat. I will give you one more chance before I, myself will exile you for such behavior, no matter what Flintstar may say. Reprecussions or not, I will not tolerate your attitude within my Clan. You may stay for Honeypaw's vigil, but you will not leave camp to bury her. Am I understood?" she turned away from Scarface, focusing instead on Springpaw. "You do not need to leave. Keep away from Scarface, but you may stay for the vigil if you wish. I do not want to see either of you even looking at each other. An apprentice has died- this is a time of silence, peace, and remembrance. Be respectful." Her tail flicked and she stared at the two cats with narrowed eyes, a serious expression on her face. [ @RedHead ] [ @MagicCat99 @Starfall @Blissie Bliss @Cecily Herondale @FluffycatbuttsUwU @Sociopathic @dawn feather @FuzzyRatto @leafpool+crowfeather @Dust @Bristlefrost @wick @Fae @Sneakyfox55 ] Although not excited about interacting with any kits, Duskfeather nodded and walked to the nursery. She stood outside it with shuffling paws, glancing toward Flintstar before poking her head inside. "Any kits who are interested in the Mossball Tournament may join Flintstar and me in the clearing!" the deputy called quickly, eager to step away from the nursery and return to the clearing. This wasn't going to be very fun for her... |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
The feline crouched down, resting her chin on the back of her paw as Flintstar walked away. As the Deputy came towards the Nursery she pricked her ears and shuffled forwards. "Am I allowed to play?" she asked, she had gotten in trouble a good few times, that and she was one of the older kits. Soon to become an Apprentice. Would she be too old to play with the other kits because she could squish them? @hxneysuckle |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
@RedHead @MagicCat99 @Starfall @Blissie Bliss @Cecily Herondale @FluffycatbuttsUwU @Sociopathic @dawn feather @leafpool+crowfeather @Dust @Bristlefrost @wick @Fae @Sneakyfox55
Pinekit shyly stepped out of he nursery. "M-mossball? What's...what's that? ...Can I... try?" |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
Snailkit emerged from the nursery, pelt all puffy and hot with anxiety. Technically, he was too old for these kit-games, but it had to be better than sitting alone in his empty nest all day, counting the line of ants that crawled by. Maybe he'll even make a friend...! Oh wait, no, no. But what if they don't wanna play with him? Or worse, what if they HATE him?! What even IS a mossball tournament??
"Um, so how does this work? If you don't mind me asking..." He asked quietly, looking up at his...very, very, big leader. Oh dear, is any of this safe? Taking a seat beside Aspenkit and Pinekit, the silver maine coon looked back down at his own paws, trying to think happy thoughts. @hxneysuckle @Starfall @RedHead @FuzzyRatto |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
@Fae
Pinekit swiveled her head to look at Snailkit. "Thanks for asking," she whispered. "I didn't think I could..." |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
Ivykit bounded out into the clearing, eyes twinkling. "I'm ready to join!" she meowed.
"Me too!" yowled Thornkit, shoving past her, earning a hiss in response. |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
With a frustrated huff, Condorkit made his way from the nursery. Tail dragging and face drooping with disappointment, he shuffled his way over to line up with the other kittens. He didn't want to play stupid mossball... but he also didn't want to be by himself. Plus.. maybe he could make it more interesting! Though, as he was lined up with the others, all he could hear was mumbling 'n whining from the other kits. Condorkit cast an annoyed glance at Snailkit, Pinekit, and Aspenkit, "How do you guys not know how to play mossball?" Irked with their ignorance, he continued, "You literally just throw a ball of moss around! What are you, babies? Even babies play mossball..." The last part was huffed quietly to himself. Sure, maybe this wasn't the best way to make friends, but he was upset! Upset that he was being discriminated against! Yeah! Discriminated for being forced to play this dumb game and not being able to go out and hunt! Condorkit shook his head. He didn't need training! He was five moons old now! Still... it was best he at least show his face, though with the constant side-eyeing he was giving to the other kits in attendance.. it was clear he did not want to be there. @Fae @hxneysuckle @Starfall @RedHead @FuzzyRatto @Sneakyfox55 |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
Thornkit snorted. "You guys are so lame," he grumbled. "I can't believe you don't even know what mossball is..."
Ivykit shoved him from behind, offering, "I can teach somebody, if any of you want." |
Re: ThunderClan Clearing
[ INFORMATION IN THE SPOILER BELOW ] "Good question Snailkit." Flintstar meowed raising his voice above all the kits around. "And Condorkit, some kits are younger, and may not know how to play mossball very well. This is also a slightly different way of playing mossball than you guys are used to." The leader then turned and gestured to the holes he dug in the ground near the edge of the camp, a little behind the nursery. "Each kit is going to get some chances to try and throw the mossballs into these holes, from behind this line." Flintstar gestured to the line he'd scratched into the ground, a couple of mouse-lengths away from the holes he'd dug. "Two kits will be able to throw a mossball at a time. They'll each throw three mossballs and try to get them in the holes before it's the next kit's turn. Any questions?" The leader flicked his ears as he glanced across all the kits gathered around, a bright smile on his face. He wanted them to be excited for this, and so far, he'd gotten little excitement. [ @hxneysuckle @MagicCat99 @Starfall @Blissie Bliss @Cecily Herondale @FluffycatbuttsUwU @Sociopathic @dawn feather @FuzzyRatto @leafpool+crowfeather @Dust @Bristlefrost @wick @Fae @Sneakyfox55 ] |

[ @RedHead @MagicCat99 @Starfall @Blissie Bliss @Cecily Herondale @FluffycatbuttsUwU @Sociopathic @dawn feather @FuzzyRatto @leafpool+crowfeather @Dust @Bristlefrost @wick @Fae @Sneakyfox55 ] Duskfeather stood beside Flintstar, clear discomfort on her face. She swallowed and stared at the kits, remaining silent as the leader spoke. Once he finished, she forced a smile, albeit it looking more like a grimace. Her tail twitched sporadically behind her. Duskfeather glanced around the camp as she waited for the moss ball tournament to begin. The faster she got to get away from the kits, the better. -- Quote:

Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Condorkit grumbled as he received the gentle scolding. So what if there were younger kits? What about him? What about the older ones?! The kitten scuffed a small stone with his paw, his gaze firmly planted on the ground. "This is stupid.." He grumbled quietly to himself. Well.. if this would be no fun for him, he may as well make it! With a mischievous smirk, Condorkit squirmed over next to Snailkit, jabbing a single claw into the other kit's side, "Leader's pet," He whispered harshly, a low grumble in his throat - he wanted to try his best not to get caught. As soon as he had done it, Condorkit hopped up and shouted over top of Ivykit - considering Pinekit wanted to go last... the weirdo... "That's not fair! I want to go first! Oldest first!" Was he actually the oldest? Probably not! That wouldn't stop Condorkit though! @Fae @Starfall @FuzzyRatto @Sneakyfox55 |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Petalkit stood beside Linnetwing, sitting close to her. The kitten refused to come without the older she-cat. She wouldn't join in on the fun without her. Petalkit looked at Flintstar as he told them how to do the mossball tournament. Linnetwing looked down at the kitten and pushed her forward. "In order to participate you need to get closer.", she whispered. The silver tabby cat watched the kit look at her like she was crazy, but she picked up her paw and waved her forward. Linnetwing smiled and sat back. |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Okay, so far Ivykit, Thornkit, Pinekit, Aspenkit, Snailkit, Petalkit, and Condorkit had gathered. An odd number, but Flintstar would make it work. “You don’t have to go first, don’t worry Pinekit.” He meowed to the small kit, before turning to the other kits. “Since you’re so ready for this Condorkit, you may go first. Take your place behind the line on the left side. Ivykit, you may go as well, take a place on the right.” Flintstar then rolled two mossball towards towards the two kits. “The rest of you may watch and wait for your turn. Condorkit, Ivykit, three throws each.” Flintstar stepped back, tail twitching with excitement as he awaited for the kits to begin. He glanced over to Duskfeather, casting her a bright smile of excitement. @hxneysuckle @FuzzyRatto @Sneakyfox55 @Starfall @Fae @Dust @Blissie Bliss |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
[ Condorkit rolled a six. It lands! ] [ Ivykit rolled a two. It misses! ] -- Duskfeather tried to be excited. She really did. But she had no damn clue how to react around kits. They just made her so... uncomfortable. It wasn't the kits' faults, it was just not her thing. She neither wished to be a mother nor did she want to spend any time at all in the nursery. Duskfeather grimaced at the thought. She wasn't a baby maker, she didn't belong there. Shaking the thoughts from her mind, Duskfeather resisted the urge to begin pacing and stood her ground beside Flintstar. She was glad the leader seemed to be so excited, though she couldn't share the same feelings. Even her sister was there, though she seemed to be looking after a kit. Duskfeather stifled a sigh. As long as she got to go to the older age groups faster, she was fine... [ @FuzzyRatto @Sneakyfox55 @Starfall @Fae @Dust @Blissie Bliss ] |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Cedarstream sat on the sidelines of the game, watching the kits begin to play. Her jade eyes watched eagerly as they hopped about on their little legs, choosing to ignore the grumbles or complaints of some of the less eager kits. Though those amused her just as much, she had an attitude herself and couldn't blame when other cats did. As she wanted them she felt a little hollow in her chest, hopefully someday she would have some of her own to encourage, cheer on and watch grow. |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
"I...I know how to play mossball, I just...." Snailkit mumbled when Condorkit came striding into the clearing, stiffening his posture. He just didn't know how the tournament worked, but luckily, Flintstar explained everything and that...somewhat calmed his nerves. He nodded in understanding, shifting his weight from paw to paw. Maybe this will be fun–
Though as Condorkit started yapping again, Snailkit felt something sharp pierce his side. He let out a small grunt, wincing in pain as his eyes widened in shock and he fell over on his side, curling in pain. Oh stars, was he gonna die!? Looking down at his waist, he noticed a teeny spot on his side that was trickling a little blood...oh......blood.....and then his vision suddenly became fuzzy. Snailkit's body became limp and everything went dark. @Dust @RedHead @hxneysuckle @Starfall @Blissie Bliss @FuzzyRatto @Sneakyfox55 (he's completely fine, just passed out by seeing the blood, not losing it lol) |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Ivykit trotted over to the right and tensed, ready; she gave Snailkit a sidelong glance, and her eyes widened as she saw him fall limp. "Err..." Was he okay? Should she begin anyway? He wasn't bleeding badly or anything, so... Um?
@Dust @RedHead @hxneysuckle @Fae |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Linnetwing knew her sister wasn't a fan with kits, but she was the one that helped come up with this. The silver tabby molly looked at Duskfeather, but saw Petalkit shaking in the corner of her eyes. Linnetwing stepped forward. "You don't have to if you don't want to.", she whispered with a gentle voice. Petalkit stopped shaking and shook her head. The molly stepped towards Flintstar."Can I go next?", she asked in a low shaky voice. She glanced back at Linnetwing and back at the leader. She wanted to show Linnetwing that she could do it. | @hxneysuckle; @Sneakyfox55; @Fae; @Dust; @RedHead; @hxneysuckle; @Starfall; @FuzzyRatto; | |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
The molly perked her ears as a loud tom butted into their little group. With a pout the kit fluffed up her fur "Shut up, only babies pick on others! That makes you a baby!" she huffed confidently. Sticking her tongue out at Condorkit as she trotted past, joining the swiftly growing group of kits around Flintstar and Duskfeather. Aspenkit settled herself next to Snailkit giving the tom a smile before returning her attention to the Warriors. "Sounds like fu-" she began to cheer before being inturrupted by the same loud kit. "For being the oldest you sure don't act like it!" she griped. "Why are you such a turd?" Aspenkit snapped at the tom, ready to strut towards him before she was bumped harshly on the side. "Snailkit wh-" she looked down at the tom. Tipping her head to the side she gently poked at the kit. "Did you get sleepy?" she wondered aloud before noticing the little blop of blood on his pelt. "Ah- Duskfeather?" she yelled, turning on her heels and trotting up to the warrior. "I think something's wrong with Snailkit." she stated. | @hxneysuckle; @Sneakyfox55; @Fae; @Dust; @RedHead; @Blissie Bliss; @FuzzyRatto; | |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
"He's not badly hurt, is he?" Ivykit mewed tentatively. Her brother rolled his eyes from the group of other kits.
"Oh, who cares!" Thornkit meowed indignantly. "Can we just get on with the game now?" |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Dandelionkit half-stumbled half-ran to the group of gathered kits. "I'm not too late, am I?" she mewed in a sheepish tone.
|
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
No, only babies complained like that! He wasn't a baby! As Aspenkit made her way past, Condorkit stuck out his tongue in return with a grimace. Of course Aspenkit had to ruin all the fun! But as Flintstar called his name, he hopped to his paws excitedly... only to have it ruined again by her! "Blah blah, why are YOU such a turd?" Emphasis on you and unoriginal, of course, but it was said in such a way that it seem like he was mocking her. Puffing out his chest, Condorkit was about to make his way proudly to the front of the line, but as the commotion stirred behind him, he turned on his heels. What?! The little wimp just fell over?! Condorkit felt his pelt go cold with anxiety. It was barely a prick! For now, he'd stay quiet unless questioned, batting innocent eyes at the crowd and any warriors around, "What happened to Snailkit?" |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Smokekit just realized something outside was going on. She rushed out of the nursery and stood by the other kits. The kit looked around and understood what to do. Then she noticed Snailkit. "What happened to him?"
|
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
[ @Fae ] She froze, gaze glued to Snailkit. Was he okay? A frown pulled at her lips and she swallowed the growing lump in her throat. Duskfeather stood and cautiously walked over to the kit, sniffing him. He seemed fine... but was he actually fine? She spotted the tiny droplet of blood on his fur. Was that what made him faint? The Torbie gently cleaned the blood from Snailkit's fur, then sat down and prodded him with a paw. "He... should be fine. Just a little scare," she assured, "Er- Snailkit, wake up. You'll be okay." She repeatedly poked him with her paw, claws sheathed, in hopes that he'd wake up and everything would be fine and she wouldn't have to take him to the medicine den. As much as she would be glad to get away from the growing group of kits, she really didn't want to explain anything to Tallmarsh. |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Snailkit's eyes fluttered in an attempt to wake up, his ears twitching sensitively at all the gathered voices. Eventually, he was able to lift his head, blinking sensitively at the light shining through the bare branches overhead. "Wh..." He mewed, shaking his head to clear the fuzz from his brain.
Once he was finally able to regain his barrings, Snailkit's eyes widened at all the cats staring at him. He swallowed hard. "What? Is-Is there something on my face??" He quickly licked his nose and pawed at his whiskers, desperate to clean whatever semed to be making him the center of attention. But all the eyes were still on him, beading straight through his puny soul. Judging his every move. Hating him by the second. He was sure they could hear his beating heart at this point, scared for his life. "I-I'm sorry!" Snailkit finally wailed in defeat, throwing his head in the snow as he began to bawl. @hxneysuckle @Dust @MagicCat99 @Sneakyfox55 @Starfall |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
The black-furred tomcat had turned away after he'd announced who would be going first, reaching out to push the mossball pile closer together so that the kits wouldn't ruin the perfectly good mossballs he'd made before they had the chance to use them in the tournament. His ears flicked upwards at the commotion behind him, though he got sidetracked as two kits bounded up, Dandelionkit, and Smokekit, if he could remember names correctly. Which he usually could... "Nope you're not too late!" He responded to the young she-kit, before Smokekit's question caused his attention to shift. He spotted a crowd around Snailkit, Duskfeather having just finished licking the small tomkit. Oh boy, what had happened now? Plus he's heard bickering behind him as well, though kit voices were hard for him to tell apart, especially since he didn't really know any of these kits very well. "Hey, hey guys, what's going on over here?" He questioned as he padded over, peering over the kit's head to where Snailkit was now... bawling? He gave both Linnetwing and Duskfeather a sideways glance, a questioning 'what happened?' in his eyes. "Hey buddy, what's going on? You're okay." Flintstar meowed reassuringly as he padded closer to the kit, reaching out with his tail and wrapping it around the kit's small body. "Sticking your head in the snow like that's gonna get you a cold." The leader meowed softly, leaning down so he could be eye level with the young kit. He knew looking for his mother would do no good, Thunderclan had a large amount of kits and... he didn't think there were any queens. The leader didn't know how that happened, but he knew for once, having a queen around would prove some good in this situation. Flintstar knew he could comfort kits, but he was kind of big and intimidating, and did not have that maternal care for kits that mothers could exhibit. Straightening up, the Thunderclanner glanced over to the other kits, flicking his ears towards the line he'd drawn. "Condorkit, Ivykit, why don't you go ahead and start? Duskfeather, could you watch over them? I'll sit here with Snailkit for a little bit to make sure he's okay, as well as make sure none of you get into anymore trouble." He cast a small playful smile towards the other kits, eyes green eyes gleaming with humor. @hxneysuckle @Sneakyfox55 @Fae @Dust @Blissie Bliss @Starfall @FuzzyRatto @MagicCat99 @wick |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
"Um..." mewed Ivykit. "Alright." She turned back to the game, glancing at Condorkit.
@Dust @hxneysuckle |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Silversky had finally gleaned an answer to her previous mind-mutterings. Alright. Why not? It'll be cute to watch those tiny fluffballs scramble for a prize. She laid down with her paws tucked beneath her, lashing her tail.
|
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Cranerose settled down next to the other warrior, heart melting for the adorable kits playing games. She was glad to just be there to cheer them on.
"You can do it, kits!" |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
"Come on Mangoliapaw! Lets go!"The springy apprentice bounded over to the tournament, hoping they didn't start yet. She found a spot and layed down. The young she watched the cute kits start throwing mossballs and her face lit up with a bright smile. @Lonestar23 |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
[ @Sneakyfox55 @RedHead @Dust @vermin ] She nodded in response to Flintstar, looking between him and the kits before moving to crouch beside them. "Uh- go ahead, start whenever you're ready." Duskfeather gave an awkward smile, her ears flattened against her head. Why did she get stuck with the kits? Oh, she'd much rather be training Quillpaw right now! |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
"Okay! Watch!" Ivykit dove, hitting the mossball forward and over the line--only to let out a hiss as it missed the hole. "Foxdung!"
|
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Blossomclaw may have been confided to camp, but she wasn't confided to the warriors den! No way she was missing this event, she loved watching the kits play. Taking a seat by the entrance to the warrior den as to not run into the deputy right now, she smiled as she called out gleeful cheers to the sweet kittens. |
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Dandelionkit happily settled down after her worries were put to rest, fur puffing proudly at being addressed by her leader. She shifted around to find a good spot to watch the other kittens compete, pale eyes wide with excitement.
|
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
"Let me join!" Honeykit called after the other kits. She stopped suddenly, "Wait, what is mossball?"
|
Re: ThunderClan's Friendship Games
Flintstar stood and padded back over to the kits, supposing Snailkit was okay now, as the kits hadn't really said anything further. Plus, Flintstar needed to speed things up, the kits were going to grow impatient sooner or later. "Good try Ivykit!" He meowed encouragingly, before stepping over to the line and digging his paw in the ground, making it longer. "This time, I'll add two more kits. Ivykit, you may try another throw. Dandelionkit, you may come and start right here." He patted the ground behind the line, then turned his head to look across the kits. "Petalkit, why don't you come try, you can stand next to Dandelionkit. And Thornkit, you can go once Condorkit has finished." Flintstar hoped that would give the kits something to do. There was still Aspenkit, Pinekit, Smokekit and Snailkit, but Flintstar doubted Snailkit would be wanting to throw a mossball. Aspenkit hadn't said much so she might've lost interest, but Pinekit and Smokekit might still want to play. He'd just wait and see what they said as these next kits were throwing the mossballs. @hxneysuckle @Sneakyfox55 @Fae @Dust @Blissie Bliss @Starfall @FuzzyRatto @MagicCat99 @wick |
