camp BRIGHT LIGHT CITY πŸ‚  GUESSING GAMES


"I'll bet the biggest rabbit I can catch when I'm an apprentice that Doepath'll have three kittens." An even-toned bray of confidence declared. Berrykit was sitting outside the nursery with a few others, and he hopped to his paws, as if daring any of the others to accept his challenge. He and his siblings would be apprentices before Leafbare was over, and he knew that there was little chance at catching a big rabbit in this chilly weather, but that was what made the challenge fun. And he was sure that the greedier among those with him would take the bet, just for the chance at getting their paws on a rabbit in the first place. It helped that he didn't need much sustenance himself to feel content - he'd be fine with a mouse any day.

Berrykit had no idea how kits worked, in the sense that he didn't understand what determined how many would be born. He just knew that it was impossible - or at the very least, he thought it was impossible, unless medicine cats or parents could rig it in some way - to change how many there would be, which made it more of a fair bet. Berrykit was almost entirely sure that it was all up to StarClan, and from what mother and father had told him, StarClan wasn't interested in tipping the odds in one cat's favor over another with such a challenge as he was putting forth.

"C'mon. Don't tell me anybody's scared to take that risk." He challenged, a gleam in his eye. If not one of his denmates, then surely a wayward apprentice might be interested - Berrykit looked up from the kits he was gathered around and looked over to where the apprentices' den was, trying to catch the eye of any of them if they were out. Soon, he'd be in that den, and he was certain that apprentices were more willing to take risks than kits were. It would be some kind of heaven to finally get the chance to go out on dares that came with the freedom of age.

What a rather bold... bet? Assumption? They weren't quite sure what the word was. But, anyway, it had caused Cranetuft to stop what they were doing and look at the kit from where they were standing. Their eyebrows raised before furrowing slightly. "The biggest rabbit you'll catch in your whole apprenticehood? Wouldn't you want that yourself?" The warrior asked, sitting down and waiting for a response. After all, if Berrykit could not eat it himself, then he could share it with others such as his siblings. It was a confusing thing to offer as a bet.

Not to mention, Cranetuft believed that this kitten would have no idea how kittens are made, or much of anything along those lines. Why would he know how many kittens Doepath would have? It was starting to make Cranetuft's head swim. Oh, the logic of the younger generation...

Well, they may as well play along. They raised a paw to point to the nursery. "Looks like that's gonna be full then, and what makes you so certain she's going to have three kittens?"
 
nightbird's litter was an odd bunch. each of them had their own little quirks, and a few she secretly dreaded the day they became apprentices. this wasn't a dig at her councilmate's parenting style, of course not, they are… fun kids. so cute. hopefully she doesn't have to deal with any of them personally come next moon.

she agrees with cranetuft's question. any apprentice would do anything to catch a massive rabbit. "will... your opponent have to catch a rabbit if you win?" she wonders, struggling to visualize how this bet worked. her feline brain can't comprehend the bells and whistles of gambling. how can someone find fun in potentially giving themselves so much work? "they're really rare on thunderclan territory…" she adds on, softly, thinking.

Berrykit's being loud. Of course he is, cause that's all her siblings know how to do. Maybe Tigerkit could go somewhere else, but then she'd be all alone while he had everyone's attention... She's sitting nearby, tail wrapped around her paws in the way that she knows is polite. Even the warriors are looking at Berrykit. Tigerkit nods in agreement with Cranetuft. " Yeah, wouldn't you want that? I'd bring my biggest rabbit to Nightbird. Or, um- I'd feed the kits... " Nightbird would like that, wouldn't she? If she didn't like that, she'd like the other thing... it'd be very noble of her to do. It's what warriors should do. When she had kits someday, she'd bring her biggest rabbit for them...

The warriors are talking to him... but they think it's dumb, don't they? Well... Well she thinks its dumb too. " Why do you care? " she asks. " I hope it's one kitten. So- so the warriors can eat. " That was how it worked, she's pretty sure... That's why her parents are upset.
