ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

[WeMissBeingKits]

(I hope I'm doing this right, last time I was on here I was told that I should be able to roleplay as soon as I had submitted my character but just correct me)

FoxClaw stretched her old, stiff body out and lifted her head up, sniffing the air. She looked around the den hoping to conversate with any cat in, or entering the den, especially kits...FoxClaw would do anything to tell a story to a young curious kit.

Two moons had passed since Mistyshade's kitting. The molly felt refreshed. Newtheart and Pebblepaw were back... life was going pretty well. A lax smile stretched across her muzzle as she sighted a kit - Sunflowerkit, if she recalled correctly? Leisurely she pushed through the crowd. She yawned softly as her eyes landed on the kit, almost passionate. She enjoyed being around younger cats, and this one seemed to be collecting flowers. That looked fun! Something mischevious flashed in her gaze for bare seconds, before she opened her maw to speak. "Those flowers look beautiful," she meowed gently, flicking her tail to and fro. "Do you collect them often?"

{Sunflowerkit}{She/Her}

Some cat started talking to her. Surprise shot up her spine. And a warrior too! Warriors never talking to her. They were all too busy with fighting and rage or whatever it was they did. Her short pelt prickled slightly along her spine. She swung her head around, and tried to smile politely. Being polite was always the right thing to do. She recognized Mistyshade from the nursery. The molly had always seemed nice enough. Her eyes sparkled when Mistyshade mentioned the flowers. She didn’t know warriors liked flowers! She set down her load gently, then proceeded to nod violently. “Flowers are the best ever!” She declared in what was loud for her but was just slightly above a normal kit’s volume. Does she know what they’re called? The question made nerves freeze her heart again. Even if it was her own. She would have to ask to find out. What if Mistyshade thought she was stupid? What if she thought she was foolish to pick flowers when she didn’t know what they were called? What if she told the leader-wait did they have a leader- that she shouldn’t be an apprentice? But no, Sunflowerkit was a brave kit. She was a warrior kit! She did rage and fighting too! She wasn’t scared of a stupid question! She took a deep breathe and opened her maw. “Do you-do you know what they’re called?” Her voice was barely audible this time. Not much more than a squeak. However she puffed out her pelt proud of herself for conquering her fears. Then she perked up her ears expectantly. Warriors always knew everything!

With big, loud steps the kit stomped into Cinderstars den, sage green eyes boring into her, "Cinderskystar! I gotta question to ask!" he exclaimed without waiting for an invitation to speak, not really minding if they got scolded for it or not.

>Bumblebreak<

Alright. Well. Most of her anxiety seemed to be put to rest then and there. Calling her Cinderstar was going to take some getting used to, but Bumblebreak already knew this was going to go far better than Aspenstrike's reign.

'Furthermore, I want to ask that moving forward, cats are on their best behavior at gatherings...' Whoops. She'd definitely try her best, but if some fish-face came up to her just ASKING to get smacked? Yeah, sorry, all self-restraint was getting flung out the window.

As Cinderstar carried on, Bumblebreak felt a lump rise in hee throat. Cinderpaw... where the hell was she? As soon as this meeting was done for, Bumblebreak was setting out to scour the whole freaking territory, Firefly Cove included.

...Firefly Cove. That's where she had last been seen.

Bumblebreak went rigid. With fear, with anger, as her claws sank into the grass and her pupils narrowed. After everything RiverClan had done, she would not put it past them to bundle away another Clan's apprentice. What a bunch of snakes.

She hoped she was jumping to conclusions. A sweep of the territory wouldn't hurt anything. But Bumblebreak had a feeling it wouldn't help, either.

Jaw clenched, she forced the wave of anger to subside, letting out a long, slow breath. Let the meeting finish. Then she could leave.

If they had Cinderpaw then she would rip them all apart and leave nothing left to be buried.

Limping her way into the den, Sparrowflight let a brief huff of frustration escape her jaws. Coming back from her meeting with Twilightstar, her paws had begun to burn with a vengeance. Each step shot sharp stabs of heat up her legs, and she had needed to pause every few foxlengths in order to gather the willpower to push through the pain and keep moving forward on her journey home.

"Sundust?" she called out quietly, hoping not to disturb anyone too much with her intrusion. "If you have a spare moment, could you... take a look at my paws?"

Taking another ginger step forward, the young molly visibly winced before settling onto her haunches with a muffled thump. Hopefully this was nothing serious, and she could continue on as her duties required.

(Sorry it smol)

The Warrior figured it was about time he went to get his wounds checked. Probably. Considering it still stung, his wounds still burned slightly. That and he didn't want...to get infected either. So with a huff, he pushed his way into the den, tail flicking behind him. "Hullo." he called.

Littleleap slowly walked into camp covered with mud from head to toe her tired eyes scanned the area trying to find someone to tell off her sudden arrival home.

FoxClaw noticed the debris that had been scattered from the break in the top on the den. Her droopy eyes widened.

"Great Starclan!" She meowed. "Is everyone alright?" She started to look at the cats that were caught up in the fall of the roof. She noticed her herself was covered is tiny pieces of twig and leaf. She shook herself off and got up to see who and what she could help with.

>Buckbranch<

The moon was centered in the night sky and Buckbranch was properly out of breath by the time he slid through the camp's entrance. Twolegplace was way too far away and he cursed himself for not keeping better track of the time. If anyone saw him, or smelled Twolegplace on his fur... he'd already dug himself too many holes. He wasn't keen on getting trapped in more.

He shouldn't go back... He should just stop this now and put everything else out of mind. But something tugged at him and would not let him shove it all away.

With a shuddering sigh, Buckbranch slumped down onto his haunches and started to groom himself. At least then he could get most of the scent off of his fur before falling into his nest to sleep.

cacy had to somewhat drag herself back to thunderclan. she had to admit, she had missed the scent of home but there was something about it that seemed different. she couldn't put her paw on it. that and the very idea of seeing her father again made her want to gag but she didn't really fancy the other clans all that much. shadowclan left a bad taste her in mouth and riverclan could be left for crowfood for all she cared and windclan wasn't really her style. it was hard enough being captured by twolegs and almost being shipped off to become some sort of plaything for them, she didn't want to have to adjust to a different clan life as well. as she crept back onto thunderclan territory and got closer to camp, she looked around for any sign of leadership.. if any. she wouldn't be surprised if they still hadn't settled on the idea but, as long as dawnstar and her lackeys were gone she was fine with that.
