HYPNOTIC // prismatic beetle

[RAGWORTPAW]

Ragwortpaw was outside of camp on Howlingstar’s instruction to collect moss. She knows her temporary mentor wouldn’t want her going far so she stays a mere ten Fox-length away from camp, mostly eyeing down the trees for any sight of green growth. Sunlight strikes down upon an insect of dazzling green, its shell brightens and would have reflected light straight into Ragwortpaw’s eyes if not for her fur. Still from in between her tufts she sees the beetle slowly crawling up a tree, it’s wings glistening with a beauty she’s never witnessed before.

”Oooooh!” She gasps, ”Ahhhh!” she exclaims.
It was so pretty, she can’t look away!

Extending a paw she spooks it, all the sudden its wings unfold and with a discomforting buzzing noise lands on her face. Ragwortpaw doesn’t seem to mind in the slightest, her tongue lolls. ​

[BERRYHEART]

A clump of daisy leaves in his maw, Berryheart felt the dull comfort of pride in his chest as he moved through the familiar undergrowth, contentment perfectly written across his wonky features. Mind wandering into the possibilities of what more this specific herb could be used for, the tortoiseshell had not been expecting to hear any hums of amazement weaving through the leaves- that was exactly what reached toward his ears, however, scurrying out of the silence.

Curiosity- and he would call it that, rather than nosiness- tugged at Berryheart's attention, and toward the sound did he walk until the iridescent shimmer of Chirpy's discovery caught his eye. It was square between her eyes, pride of place upon her face as if she were brandishing it as a trophy. In his life he had known many cats who ere not fond of bugs, but Chirpy was not batting at it- perhaps she was a fearless soul when it came to chitinous critters. Besides, it would likely be a misbegotten idea to strike at your own face...

Berryheart was silent, though the subdued nature of the beetle had interested him. Within Chirpy's view he stood now, staring- barely aware of the fact that by staring at the beetle he was, by extension, also staring at her. ​

[Cloudyfur]

Heading out of camp in order to hunt, Cloudypaw's attentions were stolen away from her duties by the sound of an exclamation nearby. She stopped, turning toward the sound. It didn't sound like alarm, so no one was likely to be in danger. Still, she couldn't help the curiosity that lead her paws toward the noise.

"Um, what's- Oh!" Cloudypaw began to ask, before she stepped around a tree trunk to find the beetle settled atop Ragwortpaw's nose. It's wings still glistening with the same beauty that had caught the other apprentice's eyes. "Well, isn't that nice." She hummed appreciatively, keeping her voice low in order to not spook the small creature. The sight was quite wonderful, though she couldn't imagine letting the beetle perch upon her own nose. However much she liked the idea, she probably would have spooked the moment it landed on her.

Ragwortpaw must be very disciplined, she decided.​

 

[RAGWORTPAW]

Her eyes go cross as she stares at the bug, just barely can she see its shimmer with it’s back turned to her. Her view is so constructed she barely even notices Berryheart staring at the bug, unintentionally staring at her until Cloudypaw speaks and she turns her head to the right.

She smiles at the both of them, her tongue returning to it’s rightful place in her mouth though a silver string of saliva trails down her chin. ”Nice. Yes.” The blue cat agrees and bobs her head. ”We should name it…. Shinybug.“ Very creative and groundbreaking, she thinks proudly.​

[crowflower]

Without an apprentice of her own, Crowflower spends much of her time beyond the boundaries of the main camp on "patrol." In truth, Crow has always felt more relaxed away from all the furry bodies pressed together in close proximity. She passes time through diligent exploration of all that Thunderclan's territory had to offer and carries the trophies of her adventures among the snarls and tangles of her long black fur. A spicebush twig, the fluorescent green buds beginning to reveal the yellow blossoms within, stuck up haphazardly from the fur at the back of her neck. Cockleburs adorned her pelt like spiked ornaments. Or parasites. A large sycamore leaf was wrapped carefully around a small bundle which she carried between her teeth.

It is unusual for Crow to approach a group of cats already socializing together, but she became intrigued by the iridescent beetle that had buzzed onto Ragwortpaw's forehead. "Where did you find that?" she asked, though it was muffled by the leaf in her jaws. Mossy green eyes flickered briefly from Ragwortpaw to Berryheart to Cloudypaw and back again before she awkwardly acknowledged everyone with a shy bob of her head. Gently, she placed the sycamore leaf bundle at her paws so she could get a better look at Ragwort's bug. "It could be a jewel beetle if you found it on a tree. They burrow underneath the bark." Crowflower's nest back in the warrior den was littered with various bug corpses and animal bones. She couldn't help but collect all the interesting things that she found during her adventures, though she was quickly running out of room. Lately, she had begun to stash them with Wrenflutter's things. Her sister probably doesn't mind. Much.
