Rosepaw's Apprentice Ceremony

[Sleetfoot]

**Rainkit belongs to Bluesky but I don't know why she isn't playing him...Starry I think it would be great for you to play her.**


Sleetfoot couldn't help but smile at his small kit. She just couldn't find an end to her energy. He let out a hearty laugh when the kit bounced back up from her seconds of sitting. He gently lay a paw on her head to try to keep her from bouncing out of the clearing.

Coldkit just rolled her eyes at the sister that was nothing like her. How could she act so childish? In front of the Clan Deputy! When her sister stuck her tongue out at her she naturally felt her paw shoot forawrd. She lay her bads against the tongue, muzzle and nose of the golden brown cat. "We'll be apprentices in *Incert number here* moons. It still seems like so long but the day will come and then I can prove to everyone how great a warrior I'll be!"

Fallentree looked up when he heard his name softly called. It was Pearlclaw. He had known from watching her as a kit and apprentice that she had a sharp tongue but he always seemed to be her soft spot. He smiled at her when she pointed out the spot. It was a soft looking patch of grass showered in sunlight. "I think I will, thank you Pearlclaw." He slowly came to his paws and started toward the patch.

[Willowfoot]

ooc: Bluesky is out of character spots. She had handed Rainkit off to FluffyKunai, who ditched us.

ic:

Willowpaw smiled back at Regalpaw, but when he walked away, she was momentarily confused. "Um," she started very coherently, then smiled again. "Come on, guys." And she walked off to go sit by Regalpaw, Bramblepaw rolling his eyes and making a kittish -eww gross- face as he followed her.

ooc: lollame

[Regalpaw]

Regalpaw looked up at his mentor's call. Despite her crowed, she still called him over. He stood to do as she asked but Willowpaw joined him before he could move. Not wanting to abandon her, he invited her to come with him to sit with Lightfur. Before anyone knew it, the entire Clan would be centered around the golden deputy.

[Bluesky]

((I keeled one of my leopards because I prefer having my kitten than a leopard I'm not using anyway. o-o;; *takes control of Rainkit*

Sorry, Starry. x3))

Mudsplatter laughed at Flowertail's comment, dragging his paws across his face. "At least I don't smell a mess," He teasingly threw the words at Foxfangs, who really did seem to be a walking disaster. The she-cat stumbled a bit in the sunlight before plopping down next to him.
"Shaddup," She muttered, glancing around him at the queen to greet her. "'Lo there," She meowed, then sat back on her haunches and proceeded to bring up her front legs for grooming.
Shadowchase glanced back at them, sighing and shaking his head ever so slightly. He noticed that the clan deputy seemed to be drawing a lot of attention. He idly wondered if any other than Bluesky would be able to keep up with not only the two polar opposite kits, but Rainkit as well, who, it had to be said, was rather stuck up. He licked at his chest, then sat straighter in pride. Today he'd become Rosekit's mentor, and he admitted to himself that he felt rather excited himself.

Bluesky followed Sleetfoot, purring lightly. Rainkit padded along next to her, his well-groomed fur shining, and head held just a little too high, as usual. That's one kit whose fur I never have to worry about, at least, she thought, settling down near Lightfur. "You're rather popular today, my dear Lightfur," She teased the golden deputy, deciding to ignore her kit's antics.
"You shouldn't be so rowdy, Dawnkit," He tsked when Bluesky did nothing to stop his siblings. "And Coldkit, take care of your fur! Being a warrior isn't the only thing there is in life, you know.
Bluesky rolled her eyes and decided to add Rainkit into the antics she was ignoring.

[Sleetfoot]

**lol...yew killed a leopard lol**

Coldkit growled at her denmate. "Yes. Warriorship and loyalty to your Clan are the only two things in the life that matter Rainkit! I wouldn't expect a fop like you to understand that." She hadn't meant to snap at the other cat but he had pushed a button.

[Bluesky]

((*searches fop* Fraternal Order of Police? xD))

Rainkit tossed his head (someone just copied their mummy) and carefully folded his legs up to sit. "You don't have to be a complete mess to be loyal to your clan. Taking care of your body matters. How can you work your hardest if you can't even groom properly?"
Bluesky changed her mind about ignoring her kits and flicked a tail over Rainkit's ear. "Quit preaching."

((By the way, Sleets, who is the person in your avvie?))

[Sleetfoot]

**lol, yes. Police cat... No, fop is an english pretty-boy. Raoul from Phantom... And the guy in my avvie is TJ Thune playing Dr. Jack Hodgins from BONES**

Coldkit stuck her nose int he air and refused to look at her brother. "I can't keep my fur clean and organized if I'm busy training or protecting my clan. There are more importaint thigs like hunting and learning to fight." She looked to her father for back up. Sleetfoot's eyes widened as he blinked a few times. With a huge breath he looked down at Dawnkit. "So. This uh...weather huh?"

[Lightfur]

OoC: I love the word fop! =DDD It's so awesome!

BiC: Dawnkit let out a muffled squeak when Coldkit pressed her little white paw against the gold-and-white kit's white muzzle, but when her sister lowered her paw to direct a scathing retort at Rainkit, Dawnkit paused for only a moment before beginning to chatter once more. "I think that you should always do everything that you can do but that the Clan is more important than what you look like. It is kind of sad when your fur is messy, though, Coldkit, because it's so pretty and white like Daddy's." Dawnkit squinted happily up at the mentioned white warrior. "Isn't that right, Daddy? You and Mommy can do everything, can't you? So when we're warriors, we will be able to do that too! Right?" She was quite confident that this was true. Coldkit and Rainkit were just being silly.

But anyhow, it was a meeting! A Clan Meeting! She couldn't spend it sitting around and talking to her boring brother and sister! She bounced in place just once and then spun around and bounced up at her mother. "Mommy, Mommy, when is it going to start? Will it start soon? Is Rosekit really gonna become an apprentice?"

Lightfur purred her amusement at the antics of the kits, and looked down at them, feeling the need to do a little pre-apprenticeship mentoring. "While of course the Clan is far more important than any individual, each independent cat should be responsible for themselves if they ever want to be responsible for others. That means keeping yourself clean and neat and in good condition, to fight and to care for your ClanMates. You all want to be good warriors, right?"

The golden deputy looked up and purred once more at the arrival of her apprentice, along with Flowertail's two. The brown-and-white tabby she-cat had done a marvelous job raising the two of them on her own, as well as Regalpaw, and she had every right to be proud. Apprentices now! "Hello, you three. Are you all excited? Remembering your own ceremonies?"

Lightfur recalled her own ceremonies, her apprenticeship, her reception of her warrior name. When she received Bluepaw as an apprentice. At that thought, she spared a glance for the blue-gray cat, who sat looking somewhat astonished at her precocious kits. So much older now! And so Bluepaw became Bluesky, and Lightfur became deputy. It had amazed her at the time, the sandy-furred deputy recalled, to be chosen for such a position. It had been terrifying, at first, although now she was confident, and apt enough that she had been given Regalpaw to mentor. And someday he would receive his warrior name and his own apprentices.

The deputy did not often allow herself to indulge in sentimentality, but when she did so she did so with a vengeance.

Pearlclaw came right up to the elder now, ready to support him if he stumbled or had too much difficulty. She didn't want to hurt his dignity, though, so she refrained from actually touching him, watching for any hint that he wished for aid. He has been such a mighty warrior in his youth! Would she ever become an elder, so wise and revered, yet frail? The young warrior could never see herself as wise, much less revered, and the idea of being elderly and still her same hotheaded self was terrifying. She silently determined that she would die at full strength, in defense of her Clan if possible. Somehow. Because she could not be an elder like Fallentree, and any other kind didn't seem quite worth being.

[Sleetfoot]

**True dat Lol...muffled squeak...Great now I feel like I have to use the word 'antics'...**

Coldkit couldn't help but look down at her beautiful shimny white fur then back up at her sleek and shiny father. Well, as much as she hated to admit it, perhaps Dawnkit had a point. If such great warriors as Sleetfoot, Lightfur and Wildstar could keep their pelts clean so could she! Starting tomorrow...


Fallentree smiled up at the beautiful she-cat who seemed to glow in the morning light. He thought back to past times. It helped him feel stronger and walk.

He thought back on all he could,s tarting with Pinestar and the time when he led the Clan. Young Wildkit's birth, her apprenticeship, her naming her becoming deputy. Pinestar's horrible death. Wildeyes becoming leader. Galaxyfur taking up his position as full medecine cat, his finding and mentoring young Starpaw. His sad death *Is he actually dead here?*. He incredible move, of course to the mountains. *I'm kinda ssuming some things here guys* Lightfur had been the Clan's only deputy since Wildstar and she was doing amazingly at it.

His mind slowly shifted to present and future events. Young Rosekit's cerimony. Soon Willowpaw, Bramblepaw and Regalpaw's warrior cerimonies. The oncoming war with the Leopards. Who knows who would win but he had the strongest feeling he would not see the end of the battles. He sighed then looked around. See, it really had helped. He was here, in the spot Pearlclaw had found for him. He smiled up at the she-cat and thanked her for her help.

[Starlight]

Ashpelt loomed somewhere in the crowd, pawing the ground anxiously. It was not his style to wait patiently for things. He watched his clan swarming around their deputy, then glanced up at his waiting leader. Looking around some more, he noticed Starlight in her usual spot off to the side. He twitched his tail and continued to watch the swarming mass of cats around him.

((OC: Ahh, I feel so wierd butting in like this :c I own the charrie birdpaw, she's a little hothead and pretty vain, she would be Birdkit atm though and I spoke with Totallan and she said I should just post x3
Im going to say her mother and father are both dead, okay xD))

BIC:
Birdkit padded out of the nursery, and sat alone near the crowd of cats.
Today she would be asssigned to a mentor, someone strong whom she would look up to.
Her blood roared in her ears, fear and excitement pumping her heart out of her chest.
Birdpaw watched the leader sit on the Tallspire.
/Today, I will no longer be Birdkit. I will be Birdpaw!/

[Lightfur]

OoC: Umm, hey guys. ^^ I was just thinking, but it seems like we've lost most of our apprentices. Is there any point to this roleplay anymore, do you think?
