WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[RedHead]

"Oh... right... my bad.." Lynxpaw meowed with a small inward wince, before turning back to Rabbitpaw. Unpredictable.... Starclan she really didn't know how to even begin to start!
Lynxpaw decided to just go for it... her dad always rambled on about instincts kicking in at any given moment that should just... lead you to what you needed to do. Instincts. Instincts. Maybe she just needed to focus on that.
Bunching her muscles, Lynxpaw flung herself in a bounding leap forward, coming right towards Rabbitpaw, but here was where she faltered... what should she do? Attack, yes, but how? Lynxpaw sure didn't know, so she ended up just continuing to run, head down and about to bowl into the other cat. This definitely was off to a great start...

Rabbitpaw was watching Lynxpaw. Suddenly, she rushed forward. Bunching his muscles, he tried to leap over the other apprentice. I hope this works!

Sparrowkit grinned up at Robinpaw. The kit had just met him, but she was already enjoying spending time with him. The masked apprentice was so cool! He was nothing like the boring queens or the mean elders that other kits liked so much. "Let's go explore camp!" Sparrowkit chirped after listening to the older cat ramble. Going out into the territory sounded really exciting, but the brown and white kit didn't want to get into any more trouble. What was it like in the territory? Were there big, scary monsters? Did warriors and apprentices get to fight wolves and coyotes? Sparrowkit couldn't wait until she was an apprentice, but being friends with one was definitely the next best thing. "You can show me around!" the kit said to Robinpaw. "Ooh, are there any hidden places in camp that you know about?" If any cat knew about secrets, then it would be Robinpaw, right?

Deadpool padded forward, a mild permanent limp in her step, as she heard her name called for patrols by the medicine cat? Was he going to be their new deputy? Could one cat be both the medicine cat and deputy? No one should have that much power... she doubted Twilightstar would allow it anyway. The chimera shook away her thoughts and quietly made her way over to Rushingmoor while waiting for Stagpaw Why was everyone calling that one apprentice a parasite? Wasn't that mean? She didn't get it, should she call him that?

Smokeflight padded into camp with a rabbit in her jaws, she set the rabbit down on the Fresh-kill pile and then looked for someone to hunt with, it had been a bit boring hunting alone, so she decided to find a hunting partner.

A patrol? Again? Last time it had ended up a bit more fun that he'd expected... but that was because of the sheep, not because of Twiglight. But he got to hang out with Mushy! And Deafloop? Who was that? Oh well... wait. He was going HUNTING? He didn't know how to hunt! Maybe... maybe he could convince the warriors to let him hunt stuff for Twiglight? If he found some pretty flowers she would be proud of him right? "Mushyy! I don't know how to hunt!" Stagpaw complained as he half limped, half ran to the warrior, tail whoosing behind him. Looking at... Deafloop he asked with bright eyes, "Do you know how to hunt?" Maybe he could learn something... please please say they weren't going hunting rabbits. Wait, where they going hunting as in he would be the one hunted? Oh no. That would go really really wrong. He didn't want to get eaten without Twiglight! But looking back at Mushy he just stared at him, "We really going hunting? You sure I'm not the one being hunted?"But despite the hunt he had his own plans. Find pretty rock or pretty flowers for Twiggy. So she would like him more.

Can I join Wind Clan? Please! I know I was exiled from RC but I have no where to go and i hate not living among other clan mates!
So please!!! @Moonraven

"I've had enough of taking in RiverClan's exiled and troublesome cats." Twilightstar meowed with a fierce frown. "You'll have to find somewhere else, kit. WindClan will not take you." She was official done taking in exiles of any kind.

And she didn't seem to look mad at Weaselskip, simply greeting her. Also good. Moonbird perked her ears as she was then addressed, giving a nod of her head in respect. "Yes, my name is Moonbird, and I come from Thunderclan, Twilightstar. Though, with recent unfolding events, I've drifted away from that because there have become much more important things to me outside of Thunderclan, a clan which never truly welcomed me to begin with." Moonbird knew she had to use her words carefully. She had to show she was loyal, and trustworthy, even though it would not seem so by simply leaving another clan for this one. But she was thinking hard, and fast as she continued her speech. "Weaselskip and I met on the border and well... long story short because I would not like to bore you, we became mates, and wanted to find a way to be together yet still follow the warrior code." Moonbird glanced at Weaselskip with a fond look, before returning her gaze to the leader. "And while I do understand that moving clans often causes one to question a cat's loyalty, I promise my loyalty is not something to be taken lightly. I strive to be as loyal to my clan as I can be, with a grounding proof that its a good, stable clan. And in Thunderclan, well... Their structure was falling apart, and it just began to no longer feel like a clan, more of like a group of cats living together with no rules, no structure, no loyalty, no connectedness between the cats." Moonbird took a breath before continuing. "So I came here, yes, wondering if I would be able to join Windclan. To be with my mate, of course, but to also be a part of a real clan again. And I have a strong belief that Windclan has not fallen apart the way Thunderclan has." Moonbird then glanced towards Weaselskip, before giving the smallest hint of a smile towards Twilightstar. "And just as an add-on, I know dear Weaselskip can be quite much sometimes, and I am quite capable of keeping her under control, if I do say so myself." Moonbird then fell silent, hoping that she had been convincing enough. And hoping that Twilightstar had been able to see the truth to her words. She'd been as earnest as she possibly could, and now all they could do was wait to see her decision.

Dropping the rabbit, for a bare moment Weaselskip directed a glare - thought soft and teasing - at Moonbird with narrowed eyes, "So what you're saying is that it was the rotten structure of Thunderclan and not my radiating presence and ever glowing amazingness that convinced you to come here with me. Why am I offended now. You wound me." Typical. Even while talking with the leader of Windclan, the leader of the clan Moonbird would hopefully soon be part of, she had to take jabs at Weasel's own incredibly wonderful self. Yet she couldn't help but listen, impressed as Moonbird presented her speech. Her little bird has grown, a lot, since they first met and she couldn't help but let a smile slide up on her face that then... disappeared when she looked back at Twilightstar and she sat down herself. "I don't need to be kept in check. I'm perfectly capable of keeping myself in check. Or so I would like to believe." She wasn't THAT bad, she was an alright warrior wasn't she? At least... she could be assigned corpse duty if anything. And hunting. The rabbit at her paws was right proof of her not uselessness.

Twilightstar watched the pair thoughtfully, nose twitching as Moonbird gave her name and her former clan. She wasn't sure what was going with ThunderClan nor its leader, but it seemed that a lot of cats seemed to be straying from that clan. Not that she couldn't say anything about it, her own cats have strayed from her clan as well. She couldn't say that WindClan would be all that welcoming to yet another ThunderClanner, the last one having vanished after causing trouble with her medicine cat. Her left ear fell to the side a tad as she pushed that thought aside, trying her best not to judge Moonbird and Sunpaw the same way.
Her details on ThunderClan falling apart was intriguing, something she'd keep in the back of her mind. Was Duskstar struggling to keep her clan together that badly? She didn't exactly like how she assumed that WindClan would fare better than ThunderClan in structure and stability, but wouldn't take it to heart for now. A corner of her lips could see twitching at the exchange between the mated pair, but it was gone in a mere blink.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but regardless of how loyal you say you'll be, I still can't help but question your loyalty." Love, to her, was a fickle thing that she didn't get. Cats were willing to give up their family and clan for a chance at it. Twilightstar couldn't help but wonder if this... bond the two had fell apart at any time would they simply stray away from WindClan?
"You say that you need a stable clan to be loyal to, so am I to worry about you turning tail and heading off to another clan the second something falls apart in mine?" Twilightstar couldn't wrap her head around it. Last leafbare, her clan was extremely unstable, she could get self-perseverance, but watching cats run off the second things were out of control did not scream loyalty to her. Should a cat not help out their clan when it was at its worse?
"You," she turned to Weasleskip, "left the clan to be with her, understandable, but I can't help but wonder when you'll leave us again due to your selfish wants and whims." She was expecting some sort of biting retore from Weasleskip, she'd be disappointed if she didn't get one. She wasn't going to say she didn't care for her clan, Weaselskip had to know that running off to do as she please was going to have some sort of consequences. Clans live and thrive off of loyalty, they weren't really screaming loyal to her. They both took an oath to protect and defend their clans at the cost of their lives but then bounce from clans when it suites them.

A distasteful frown crossed Batglare's mouth as he heard Coyotesnarl calling out patrols. How disappointing, could their leader not even handle patrols while she searched for a new deputy? He scowled when he did not hear his name called for patrols. He hasn't seen his apprentice in a bit and he was getting bored stuck in the camp. He wasn't going hunting, just out, He paused, double-checking to see if he could find Elderpaw.
