ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

Willowkit
[Open!]

The young molly yawned, little paws sliding forwards as she did so. She didn't really make any friends...not that she really tried to, she was perfectly fine like this. But it really made for some boring days when her sister was out and about.

After a few more moments of just simply sitting and relaxing the cream feline picked herself up and padded over to a nearby tree and began to play with the moss. Poking it, gently pulling on it. Never actually tearing it however.

Strikekit saw Willowkit and padded over. "Hi there Willowkit. That's your name right?"

The golden tom watched cats walk in and out of the warriors' den. For one of the most important places in the camp, it sure was underrated.

Between his jaws were an assortment of twigs, moss, and various feathers. Usually when an apprentice was sent to work on a nest, they went straight to the elders' den, but as Lionpaw had decided earlier, warriors were a bit underrated.

After having spent enough time standing around and gathering up his courage, the abyssinian mix stepped into the den. There were no rules prohibiting cats of other ranks from entering other dens, as far as Lionpaw was aware of. It was simply unusual for an apprentice to walk into the nursery and whatnot. As he looked around, he noted that nothing was different about the warriors' den than any other resting area. It was a structure that sheltered tired cats from the weather outside, just like every other den. It wasn't special. What had expected?

But he still had to do something with the materials that he had gathered.

Lionpaw padded over to the nearest open space and dropped off the materials there. Then, he looked around. Were there any nests that needed spicing up? Any nests in need of repairs?

As soon as he spotted one, the apprentice took a twig and swiftly made his way towards it, only to startle and drop said twig as he just barely missed walking into someone. He hastily picked it back up again and meowed, "Sorry. I didn't see you there," tail curled down in submission. He met the other cat's gaze for a moment before hurrying to continue his work. Lionpaw was already in enough trouble; he needn't bother a clanmate and make any more.

"So, it started as a normal hunting-patrol day. My group and I arrived at the territory and immediately started getting to work, not wanting to waste any time." The elder stopped for a moment as he scratched behind his ear real quick.

Flamekit sat down, her crippled leg sticking out a little, and lifted her eyes up to look at Oakcreek curiously. She pushed aside her thoughts from before to pay attention to the story. As he spoke, the kitten lightly tilted her head.

He followed slowly with purposeful pawsteps.

Larkblaze wouldn't condone behavior like this. He knew that kits would be kits and be reckless and get into mischief, yes. He accepted that, however hard it was for him. But members of his family, well, they were supposed to be sophisticated and work towards goals and be successful. Breaking a leg was not one of those things that helped a cat work towards that.

So that was why Larkblaze was sauntering straight towards his niece, the little over-reckless furball who had decided it would be a good idea to go and break her leg. If he didn't love her as much as he did she would be getting quite the whooping on the butt right now. But he would withhold from punishment, especially since it was not like him to dish it out in that way.
"I have heard you have had a run in with the downside of fate." He meowed as he approached the younger cat, blue-green eyes showing disappointment but not anger. "Show me the fault."

Sweetdream had just been through an eventful day, her 'moment' with Sugarsnow leaving quite a few lingering thoughts in her mind that she wasn't entirely sure how to address. She'd rather have just been able to sleep it off, but her body remained as restless as her mind. As such, she soon found herself up and about again, hoping to find something that could soothe her worries.

Nothing in this clan was ever without interruptions though, as Sweetdream soon flinched at the sudden voice of another cat; apologetic in tone. Turning back towards the source of the noise, she spotted Lionpaw, a cat she'd only been vaguely aware of.

Tilting her head in confusion, the chestnut brown molly meowed, "Oh? You're quite alright, dearie! I never seem to notice when other cats are around," she admitted with an embarrassed laugh, flicking her tail. It seemed he wasn't much up for conversation though, as he was already back to work on the dens. That couldn't do though, she couldn't sit by and have him do something so boring alone! More talking was needed.

Tapping the apprentice with a paw, Sweetdream would make sure she had his attention before continuing.

"Your den work can wait! I saw that glint in your eyes during our brief exchange. Would you.. perhaps.. fancy a conversation?" Sweetdream meowed with some concern. Lionpaw clearly wasn't all too enthusiastic about what he was doing, which was typical of any apprentice assigned to these duties, but.. there seemed to be something more with him in particular. She was determined to get to the bottom of this!

With an embarrassed flutter of his tail, Fishfin plopped back into his nest with a apologetic Oops. When she promised to sleep, he backed off, still whisking his tail nervously. He had really made a fool of himself there, hadn't he? Well, he supposed he ought to try and fix ti. A bit awkwardly, he mewed Um, sorry about that, I, um, just go a bit.....excited.

OH! Her uncle had come over for a visit! Smiling up brightly at him Swallowkit nodded. "It wasn't a downside though! It was FUN!" Well, breaking it hadn't necessarily been fun because it had put a downer on the majority of the activities Swallow considered fun. Which wasn't fun. But she'd had to make her own fun which included breaking every single rule that had put in place. It wasn't like her leg had ever been fixed either it was just... broken. And now healed wrong and gave her an awkward limb but did she care? No. Not really. "The fault? ya mean my incredibly cool but not happy leg?" she questioned looking up brightly. She didn't consider her leg a fault! IT WAS COOL! And sometimes annoying but not a fault. "I learned to climb a tree ya know! and then It said BOOM and off I went. And my leg decided not to be happy. So... Here I am."

Dustykit drank until he was full before falling asleep next to his mother pelt.
