Moonkit, Tinderkit and Hawkit -Apprentice Cerimony

[Sleetfoot]

The white tom had been over int he nurcery visiting with his mate and kits when he noticed the three other young ones. They where more then due to be out of the cramped space. He knew for sure that Bluesky was going crazy sleeping with six kits every night. She deserved a break from some of them.

Sleetfoot padded over to the den that housed his wonderful leader and leaped the distance to the entrance. Slowly, he padded forward. "Wildstar? The three young ones are ready to move out of the nurcery."

[Wildstar]

Wildstar blinked, her usual way of agreeing. "Lightfur has said the same thing before, and StarClan agrees with both of you. Are there any matches that stand out to you?"

Ooc: I can't remember, does the deputy decide mentor-apprentice stuff? @_@

[Sleetfoot]

**I think they decide together...**
Sleetfoot tipped his head for a second, thinking about her question. He glanced back over his shoulder to see Tinderkit hopping around, chasing after a leaf. He smiled. "I do beleive Ashpelt has been interested in apprenticing. I think he and Tinderkit would make a fine pair. And I know Moonkit has been waiting out for Starlight. I think he will make a valuble medecine cat." He fell silent, thinking about the third apprentice-to-be.

"I'm not sure on Hawkkit, although i'd imagine whoever you chose will be well able to train her."

[Hawkpaw]

Ooc: Sleety; just want to make sure you know this; Hawkkit's a girl... I feel like a jerk now for correcting you...

[Tinderpaw]

OoC: Quick Question. Are we just saying that my cat has been there a bit, and has been staying in the nursery?

[Sleetfoot]

**OMG...Hawky I am so sorry... :X

An Tinder, thants what I thought. Unless you wanted otherwise for characterization points**

[Hawkpaw]

Ooc: Here goes an attempt to revive this!'

IC: Hawkkit paced up and down the clearing worrying. She was already 6 moons old. Had something happened that prevented her from becoming an apprentice? With that thought she raced to Falcontail. "I haven't been too awful of a kit? Have I?"

[Tinderpaw]

OoC: I'll help.

IC: Tinderkit let the leaf she'd been chasing fall to the ground have become bored with this simple game. It had been about half a moon since she'd arrived in this strange place, and she was still adapting to this odd, new life. These clanmates of hers were an interesting assortment, but as usual, she didn't seem to fit in. Her isolated kithood had hindered her ability to communicate with other cats quite a bit. Most thought she was rather stuck up when they met her, and she hadn't had much luck with any of these cats either. It wasn't that she didn't like to talk, it was just that she found excessive talk to be a bit unnecessary. She looked around the clearing, her green eyes slowly moving around the which was slowly becoming more familiar. Would this place ever feel like home? Maybe, maybe not. Only time would tell. Tiring of the deep thoughts, she went back to her leaf and scooped it up into the air. She batted at it, losing herself in the simple pleasure of play.

[Hawkpaw]

Ooc: Here goes the defibillator on this thread... Charging to 20... CLEAR!!!!!!!! *Zap*

BIC: Hawkkit continued pacing the clearing her eyes wide with fear, "Maybe it's because I'm an outsider... They still train outsiders... Don't they... Yes. Of course they do... It's because I've been a horrible kit..." She stopped, her eyes growing wider, "I've been a horrible kit..." She bit her lip to keep from crying out in fear and raced to Wildstar's den, "Wildstar! I know I've been a horrible kit! Please still let me be an apprentice though! Please, please, please, please! Oh PLEASE let me still become an apprentice! This means more to me than anything! I promise I'll be a good apprentice! Just please! I don't want to be a kit forever!" She begged, her eyes pleading as she stood right in front of Wildstar. Her lip began to quiver, and tears began to leak from her eyes. Finally, she burst into full-blown sobs. "PLEASE, WILDSTAR! I'LL NEVER BE BAD AGAIN! JUST LET ME BECOME AN APPRENTICE!!!"

[Sleetfoot]

**Wildy, please accept my apology now. I wish no harm, I just want to get this site back up. Please forgive my incredibly ginormous power play**

Sleetfoot turned to the tiny cat that came running up to the den. He raced to her side, sure that she had seen a leopard or something crazy by her reaction. He placed a paw on her shoulders then actually listened to what the kit had to say. He stepped back a pace and stared in disbelief at the tiny thing.

Since the inception of Lightfur's terrible sickness a few days earlier, Wildstar had asked Sleetfoot to stand in as deputy-organize patrols, help decide mentors and warrior names, et cetera. He quite liked the work, but he eagerly awaited the return of the true deputy's health he couldn't stand to see (or hear) her in pain every night in the Starlight's den.

As temporary deputy, Sleetfoot was helping Wildstar decide who would mentor the young kits who would be soon receiving their mentors. He stepped back up to Hawkit and gently cuffed her ears. "Don't be so mouse-brained, young one!" The insult was there, but his tone was loving and fatherly. "You will be an apprentice, there is no fear of that." He put his forehead to her rump and pushed her from the den. "Now be gone and let us think!

**Again, I apologize for the whole temporary deputy thing, I just know we can't carry on a site without a deputy so...**

[Hawkpaw]

Ooc: I hate to say this... But I feel it may be time to appoint a new deputy... Lighty hasn't logged on since last August...

BIC: As Sleetfoot pushed Hawkkit out of the den, Hawkkit let out a gigantic sigh of relief. She would become an apprentice after all! She hadn't been horrible! She had been a fine kit! Just to make sure she would become an apprentice after all, in case Sleetfoot may have been lying to her, Hawkkit decided that until her apprentice ceremony, she would behave extra well and do everything perfectly... Well... As perfectly as a kit could anyways. Hawkkit quickly spun around and raced down to the nursery. "Hey guys!" she called, "Guess what! I haven't been a horrible kit after all! I've been perfectly fine! I will get to be an apprentice after all!"

[Wildstar]

Ooc: In response to your comment, Hawkkit, Sleetfoot has pretty much taken over all of Lightfur's responsibilities. The only thing that she hasn't taken over is the official name.

[Sleetfoot]

**Wildy, we need you to post IC here Kinda waitin' for a leader to start the ceremony**

[Wildstar]

Ooc: I know, but I didn't read the other posts until now, 'cause I'd completely forgotten that this thread existed. (Shameful, I know.) And btwz Sleet, you didn't powerplay at all, 'cause that's what we'd agreed on. Mousebrain!

Bic:
Falcontail watched his soon-to-be apprentice scampering across the camp like a hare with its bobtail on fire. It was hilarious and incredibly difficult to keep from laughing, but he'd decided long ago that Hawkkit would do penance for her craziness. With the wild orange tabby as her mentor, he'd concluded that he would train the rash behaviour right out of her (and find her something else to be fixated on). He purred in satisfaction. This was gonna be fun!

Wildstar blinked slowly, arranging the scene in her head and finding a few words. "Falcontail will have his paws full with that one. Ah well, she's just as anxious as the rest of them. Sleetfoot, you'd best join the others under the Tallspire, these ceremonies are long overdo."

Ooc: Happy?

[Sleetfoot]

**Uh...we agreed on that!? Er... Oh yea I remember (not :/)

Sleetfoot nodded to his leader and friend before standing. he flicked his snowy tail at her in a customary farewell before jumping from the den. he knew what was coming and didn't bother to get any freshkill.

**Also, I am starting my college summer program thing tomorrow and will be either very scarce or completely absent for the next two or three days but I will d my best to get on **
