ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

[Ziera]

// @Arie @Beau @Slushie

Kestrelkit deflated when Buckstar called him 'too small,' stung to the point of forgetting to notice what his siblings were doing. Swallowkit should have beat the happiness into him then. She would have easily caught him, staring with wide, green eyes at their leader, and well-- he could've used some happiness just then. Buckstar [the tom he secretly admired] meant it as a joke?? It was no joke to Kestrel.

When the shock faded, determination replaced it full force. The tom-kit lowered his chin to the dusty ground, haunches swinging back and forth as he planned a counterattack against Buckstar, who carelessly turned his back to speak with Wrenkit.

One, two, three.... POUNCE!!!

Kestrelkit leaped toward Buck, his tiny claws gripping the leader's back leg. He playfully bit his prey.

NOW let Buckstar say he was too small!!!

Sugarsnow turned to boop her nose against Softbear. His elevated volume was slightly worrisome.. and he looked awful confused? No matter, Lionwhisker would be able to identify the issue and solve it just like he was solving hers. She struggled to get herself across the den but once she had the warrior settled with a grunt fighting the urge to cover her paws with her tail. Sometimes they would cramp up and look all funny, it was quite the source of embarrassment. “Bear, what are you in for? Is it your asthma again? I told you to take it easy you know that.” if he’d been out running or.. well walking even she’d be a little disappointed. He would have an attack one day and be out on his own! Starclan forbid but it was always a possibility..

“Oh.. erm... yes I suppose. Do you think I could get a double dosage? I’m out for a patrol after this... walking on these poor things will hurt like the dickens” She had been wanting to take sweetdream out on a little walk for quite some time. Now was the day! And stupid arthritis wasn’t going to stop her from that.

Aha! Warrior! He was going to get a surpriseeeee! Brightpaw lowered herself to the ground, and crept forward, tail low. It was a bit like a hunting crouch, and in essence it was! Her crouch for hunting training! Bunching her hind legs, she leaped into the air, hoping to land on the unwary warrior, while unleashing her battle cry. Take me training!

hazelbranch was.. bored. somewhat. not really? but also yes really. he had nothing to do, but he wasn't exactly looking for something productive to eat up his time. he'd take boredom and relaxation any day, even if the former wasn't exactly the best feeling in the world. hm. maybe he could go collect flowers for that cat who loved them. he didn't quite remember their name... furleap? no, that didn't sound quite right. alas, he simply minded his own business, squirming as he found a position that was comfortable enough for him.

The large earred she-cat known as Dappledheart had just returned from a good hunt, placing her fresh-kill on the pile and taking a step back for a moment to examine it's contents. It had a good amount but they could always need more. Turning her green gaze to the contents of thier camp, she caught sight of the tom known as Rainsong who seemed so bored that he was making drawings in the dirt. Padding over, the confident spotted she-cat spoke with a strong mew, "Interested in going hunting with me?"

Leopardpaw paused, looking at Elmkit. "Why don't I bring a mouse over to you?" the tom offered.

Jaypaw sat in the Thunderclan camp, glancing blindly around. The young former rogue settled his paws underneath his fluffy body. His clouded eyes scanned the camp, scenting the air to try and be familiar with all of the new scents. This would be his home from now on. Well at least if he showed what he could do.

Forestpaw had been sitting in the clearing having no idea what to do. She'd already checked up on her family and got to meet her adorable and silly little sister Oakkit. But seeing as she'd done that she didn't know what else to do. Suddenly she spotted a young tom that looked about her age just sitting there like her seeming to have nothing to do. Oh! Maybe I could try and befriend him! Of course...I'm not exactly the best at making...friends...but might as well give it a go! "Hi!" She mewed happily smiling as she walked over to the tom.

Sugarsnow was still feeling slightly dizzy, the poppy seeds had begun to wear off and lift that hazy helmet from off her head. She could focus now, and even her legs hadn’t started to hurt yet. There was a slight dull ache but it would occasionally subside for an hour or two. She’d be visiting Lionwhisker a whole lot more, especially as the cold weather started to settle in. Hunkering down still partly sopping wet from her little run in with the creek she let out a satisfied sigh. thats however when she noted someone else nearby, she turned her head with a partly loopy smile.

“Rainsong, dear come you look absolutely starved”

[Terrestrial]

Happy little paws pranced across the clearing, her silky fluffy little tail held high in the sky as she made her way towards Sugarsnow. Cypressflame's ginger tabby coat glittered in the shining sun, hazel eyes shining with joy. "Hey Sugarsnow!" She called out giving a toothy smile. Carefully Cypressflame flopped down onto her rump besides Sugarsnow, compared to the warrior she was quite small.

"How've ya been?" She chirped happily, unable to sit still. Hazel orbs stared off into the distance, on her half she'd been a bit flirty lately. Nothing too bad had happened to her in the span of a few moons. Of course besides the loss of her mother Ambersong, oh how Cypressflame missed her.

She would get her own brigade?! To lead against the fires! WOOP! Letting out a squeal of excitement Swallowkit too leaped for Buckstar's back in an attempt to make it to his neck and give him one big hug. But failing to make the jump she looked over at Wrenkit in Buckstar's nest a mischievous smile spread on her face. And slowly, and VERY sneakily she made her over to Wrenkit, and then punched, landing directly in the nest and then proceeding to snuggle up in the moss and the softness that it was made of. NOW she most certainly didn't want to go back to the nursery. And even if he did send her back.. she would come back, steal his nest and never return it. It was hers now. It was comfy. He could go find another one or snuggle up with her and Wrenkit, it was his decision! "Wren, you can't be deputy! thats MY role!" she couldn't help but complain. Being the youngest always did leave her with nothing but her need to beat happiness into others. And then she watched Kestrelkit attack Buckstar and couldn't help her laughter. "SEE! You're USELESS Kestrel! You can't even attack properly! My friend," - was the warrior even her friend, "Says you must like... go up to his back and bite his neck to like.... be useful in a fight!" Was she telling her older brother how to maim someone? Maybe. But she couldn't be faulted, that was what she had been taught! "Buckstar! WE wIN! so you must give us your nest! or I SHALL BEAT HAPPINESS INTO YOU AGAIN!" She was determined to make the leader happy. And she wouldn't be afraid to use violence for that. "Or we're stealing it anyway, right Wren?"

The kit padded out of the nursery and into the Clearing, looking around for a few moments before letting out a sigh. Seems as though her sister wasn't quite back yet. It was fine, she didn't mind. She'd entertain herself for a little while. Round ears quivered as she listened in on her clanmates chatter. Most of it either none of her business, or just plain boring. So the cream kit decided to tune them out. Didn't feel the need to poke into her clanmates private lives.

After looking around for entertainment she spotted a Warrior who, hopefully, wasn't too terribly busy to listen to a kits rambles. Making herself presentable the molly made her way over to ...well she couldn't quite remember their name. "Hello." she hummed, offering a smile. "If you don't mind me asking, are the days getting darker...earlier? Or are they just going by fast for me. I can't tell." she chuckled. To her it really seemed like it was becoming night faster, but maybe it was just because she was having fun?
