RiverClan Territory

[Leucos]

@Dirtfur @x ghostie

Muscles near burning, the she cat was about ready to pass out. She wasn't used to this much....body work before. She was even mentally freaking out about the dirt. It clung to her fur like no tomorrow ....she felt it underneath her claws too! Gross! Even lambdream wouldn't care for this. ..lambdream. no forget about her for one second....your doing good for your clan...
Huffing she gave one last slash before she clumsily tumbled into the tunnels and just missed wormpaw by a paw length. Grunting as she stood back on to her paws, she took in the view that she was gonna have to get used to these next couple of moons.

Spitting out a bit of dirt with a following snort, it didn't take her long to begin to regret her choice in helping. maybe I should've just stayed back in camp?...no ....I'd be useless then.. feeling something crawling on a hind paw. BrambleBlaze shot her head up with her eyes wide, if her fur could turn white it would. She let loose a shriek and bucked only to hide behind dirtfur "this is so disgusting ! And we used these tunnels before? It's covered in maggots! " she meowed with a disgusted facial expression .

the process continued in loop. the tunnels were starting to become stuffy and dirt clung to the apprentice's fur. he felt like he was being suffocated. considering he wasn't quite so prepared for tunneling-- it was a last minute choice and wormpaw was sleep-deprived. he felt like he would end up falling asleep in the middle of the process. yet, he found himself building an army.
everytime wormpaw was digging he would often find a worm, beetle, or such. he started to put them into his dirt pile he had made from digging, therefore naming them his army. as long as they didn't touch him, he was okay with his underlings. then he would go back to digging. dig. dig. di-- huh?
wormpaw lift his head, turning to stare at his mentor in confusion. he didn't blame the warrior if he was losing his sanity. if he had any left. his mentor was a bit insane from the start. "the dirt has finally decided to take you as the--" his voice trail off, tilting his head in confusion. his eyes shifted to the newfound scene. a gasp escape his mouth, staring in bewilderment and relief. oh thank starclan!
wormpaw left his army behind and cautiously ended the abandoned camp, a wide grin spread across his face. so many of his ancestors walked here before. history was built in the dirt walls. then he felt something scramble over his paws. wormpaw jump back, shaking his paw to fling the bug off him. "ewewewewew," he squeaked, glaring at the offender. how dare they do that to the dark lord!

@Dirtfur @SilentLamb

Dirtfur chuckle at the warrior molly and the lanky apprentice's faces of disgust from getting touched by or even looking at the bugs. In seriousness, he nodded to Brambleblaze's exclamation. This place is indeed filled with bugs and smell like crowfood. But that's not important. He stared at the molly and his apprentice. He couldn't let an apprentice when is leafbare and without a warrior. He also couldn't let Brambleblaze go so she'll get use to the cave. "I want you two to keep watch of this cave and marked this tree so it can easily be found. I don't care if this place have bugs; you just have to deal with them," he walked back to the wall in which he fell through. The hole was tail-length away from the bottom of the wall, though it was still easy to get in the tunnel. He turned his amber gaze at his patrol, he explained his actions, "I will be talking to Lionstar-- Brambleblaze you're in charge." With his back now faced his patrol members, he went off and emerge into the snowy surface. He had trust that Brambleblaze and Wormpaw can do the requirements without the brown tabby's help.

at least wormpaw wasn't the only one being attacked-- he chuckled quietly. he gaze around the camp, perhaps they could make it a bit more uh.. pleasant. he nodded to dirtfur, glancing at brambleblaze. she seem like a nice molly. at least she wouldn't try to secretly murder him. ha. ha.. ha..? wormpaw blink, squinting his eyes. hopefully not-,,. he watch his mentor leave, "bye, bye, "-- the moment he was sure dirtfur was out of site, he started to walk around the camp. ignoring the creatures, it didn't seem half-bad. his nose was clogged up by the scent of dirt mainly. the apprentice briefly closed his eyes, mumbling an inaudible message to himself. he lean against the wall, eyes half-open. either he was tired or was thinking. wormpaw clear his throat, "any ideas how to make this better..?" he ask, tilting his head.

Sighing, her ears twitched at the apprentices inquiry. "well, maybe try to find a way to take care of this...horrific bug problem " she said in disgust . Glaring at the maggots and any other tiny insect. " but for now, we should do as dirtfur says. Stay here at the place we crashed in from alright? I'll be back shortly ." she ordered in a slightly stern tone. " get some rest " with that she heaved herself through the hole. It took her longer than she hoped, but she marked the tree repeatedly only to gather a few rocks to place near the base. In means of marking . Returning with a exhausted exhail she plopped down " never truly thought I'd be here. ..you having fun atleast ?" she asked as she tried to make small talk.

[wolfie]

"maybe shiverpetal has a herb that repels bugs, " wormpaw suggested, he would have to ask the medicine cat when they get back and if they would be returning to the tunnels. he nodded to brambleblaze's order, well-- not the sleeping part. he couldn't sleep. what if the ceiling collapsed while he was in it? what if brambleblaze was attacked? he would sleep he's sure everything was safe. in the meantime, the apprentice pondered. perhaps mousebile? it helped with ticks. he didn't want to get rid of the worms however. it felt wrong considering he was named after them. wormpaw also enjoyed his small army. he raise his head, his body stiffening at the sound of pawsteps. he slowly stood up, getting into a rather sloppy battle position. yet the moment a familiar face appeared, he drop it. wormpaw sigh, shrugging his shoulders. "fun is for kits! " he huff, "but-- it is interesting. some cat lead a plan to build these. we also have a secret card against the rest of the clans, " wormpaw explain, his amber eyes seemingly growing brighter as he explained. it was fun to think about the history however.

@x ghostie

Resting her chin on her paws, her rather dirty paws...she listened. Giving a hum "for kits huh? So you'd rather be a cranky old strict warrior ? Where all the new apprentices will probably hate you? Ok. " she said in a somewhat teasing tone. She nodded in agreement . She did enjoy the history as well " history is important ....without it we'll repeat things" .
Yawning she stood back up on wobbly sausage like legs, or at least she thought were sausage like. "Dirtfur is taking forever...I'm about ready to hawl his behind back here so we can finish this. " she meowed with
a tail twitch .

[wolfie]

wormpaw held his chin up high, puffing out his chest. "actually, i'll have you know-- i am the dark lord. they do not hate me, they follow me!" he stated but the moment he finished his sentence, he slowly lower his head-- heat rising from his fur. "i think,, " he mumbled quietly. he only had three 'followers', they were just his friends. four if you included his brother, silentpaw. he rested his head on his paws, his long sleek tail flickering over his hindleg. "you'll think that but so many leaders, warriors repeat the mistakes over and over. they generally believe that the outcome will be different, " wormpaw stated, closing his pink-tinted eyes for a mere moment. "but i suppose sometimes-- it can be different,, still a risk, " he added-- reopening his eyes to stare at brambleblaze. "he's probably rolling in dirt, " wormpaw snicker softly. he hope dirtfur wouldn't try to make him roll in dirt as part as their training.

He padded along with his body couched, not because he intended to hurt anyone, but because he didn't want to run into Thistlestep. Their last encounter hadn't exactly been the greatest when Thistle helped him get home and then they both turned back around so Izukio could try and join RIverclan. Then he'd gotten cold paws and left for what seemed like forever. Now, here he was, a wimpy outsider inside the borders of a clan. He just had to steer clear of Thistlestep and he'd hopefully be fine. @BILL.

"Oh. It's you."

When Thistlestep had gone hunting, he hadn't expected to see this.. kitten again. Not after he ditched him after all his indecisiveness, after Thistlestep saved him from those stupid rogues.

To put it simply, he wasn't pleased, and he bared his teeth in warning as he stepped toward Izukio. "You know, Clan territory isn't a place to take a walk. I suggest going back to the Twolegplace now before you regret it."

Izukio nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of a familiar voice near him and it only got worse as he turned to face Thistlestep. Why out of all cats did it have to be Thistlestep?

He listened to what Thistlestep said and took it, he was honestly right to be angry with him, after all, he had ditched the forest cat even after he had been so nice. Well, so tolerant more like it. Izukio took a few steps back just out of habit but he stopped, taking in a deep shaky breath as he, instead of exiting the territory, sat down on his flank and puffed out his chest. He stared into the clan cat's eyes and it hurt like he was staring at the sun but he kept it up.

"Hello Thistlestep, it's been some time...obviously not long enough."

[ Moving this here ]

Stoatdance flicked her ear before she straightened herself up, careful not to bump her head on the top of the tunnel as she balanced her weight. She reached forward and unsheathed her claws, beginning to tear into the earth ahead of them. The feeling of it building up between her toes, caked into her claws, it made her want to stop. But she kept going, the thought of failing at the task that she had volunteered for proving to make her feel worse.
The she-cat kept digging, digging, digging, ignoring the different creatures hidden in the dirt that threatened to crawl all over her. She grimaced at the image, a frown pulling at her lips. After a while, her paws began to burn, causing her ears to flatten. But she kept pushing onward, until a sudden pain shot through her left paw. She yelped and pulled back, hobbling to a standing position and hissing as she tried to put wait on her leg. Stoatdance gingerly reached forward with her tail, realizing that she had snagged her claw on a stone hidden in the dirt.
She glanced up at a small opening in the tunnel, raising her paw to it to see that blood was caking her fur. The she-cat frowned and sighed, her ears flattening. "Dammit, I lost a claw. Be careful, we don't need two cats losing them," she grumbled, much more irritated than she usually sounded. Her nose wrinkled at the numbing pain in her paw, and she sighed dreadfully. "I'll need to get this cleaned and then checked out after we're finished." She then returned to her position, maneuvering herself to where she could scrape at the dirt with her uninjured paw.
"We should almost be finished, then we can go back. I feel a breeze coming through here." She gently dug around the stone before tugging it out, hissing quietly as she wobbled putting weight on her paw to not lose her balance. Stoatdance then peered through the hole created by the stone and nodded in affirmation. "There's a small clearing through here. Once we get to it, we can head back and report to Lionstar. Does that sound good?" she said, turning to Cougarpaw as she asked for her opinion.
