camp I WANT TO SNARL // 7/1 meeting

[shroudedpaw]

Today isn't a day that he hopes for like the other kits, but one we merely views as necessary. Shroudedkit will not be a
a kit forever - he must grow, and learn, and there is nothing he can do to combat it. Perhaps, if Howlingstar had listened to him, he would be more.. pleased with these ceremonies.

His mother does not groom him in preparation for his ceremony - he grooms himself this day. Always well-kept, always proper. His siblings buzz with excitement next to him, and he spares them a small, uneasy smile. They knew not of the great disappointment Shroudedkit will face today - they do not wear his distaste on their faces. As cats are called up, one by one, there is aught but his own thoughts in his head. What he is expecting, versus what will be reality - a mentor who understood him, who knew his plight, who could help him unearth his true potential.. or someone painfully utterly average, whose smile will waver at the prospect of having such a strange kitten to mentor?

Soon enough, Shroudedkit is called up, the first of his litter to receive his name. Dull grey eyes meet Howlingstar, reading her expression: is there recognition in it, of what the kitten needs to thrive? For a moment, his heart swells with anticipation.. with the hope that she had changed her mind. It was all set up to be a surprise. But it is not Thundergleam's name that is called to mentor him; instead, it is Mousenose, and Thundergleam is not called to mentor at all. Whatever hope the kitten had is squashes between his leader's her pale-colored paws once more.

Regretfully, he parts from his newly apprenticed siblings and approaches Mousenose. A cat he didn't know much, one he couldn't yet judge - but she was not blessed, nor cursed, by StarClan like Shroudedpaw and Thundergleam were. That sense of kinship is lacking. Do not let me down, he prays inwardly as he touches noses with his mentor, as is tradition. He fears, already, that she will.

[FALCONHEART]

𓍊𓋼 His siblings are called up next, and Falconheart smiles gently at Flamewhisker’s last-minute doting. They all step forward, and he’s been waiting for this moment since they were old enough to be told about their oncoming apprenticeships. He knows their mother will get to train one—he wouldn’t be surprised if she’d asked Howlingstar herself for it—and he can’t help but to want the same for himself. He doesn’t even care which kit he mentors, he just wants to be able to show them around the territory for the first time, to share that experience with them. To show them their father’s gravesite without a patrol to guard them, to show them all the borders and the Great Sycamore and the best hunting spots all around the forest.

The first kit to be named is Sunkit, who is assigned to Ivytwist. He tries to disguise his immediate disappointment, because Ivytwist will surely be a good mentor and a positive influence on little Sunpaw. Next up is Squirrelkit, whose mentor is Lightflower. A cat younger than himself, and one who’s known around the clan for the huge mistake with the wolves… what makes Lightflower better than Falconheart? He tries not to think such things, because there’s still two kits left to be assigned. Just like there are two cats left to receive their apprentices—himself and Flamewhisker. Scorchedkit is assigned to their mother, and it brings a smile to the tom’s face. They’ll definitely be a good pairing. And with that, there’s one kit left to be named. Little fluffy Bugkit, who announces that she hopes Flycatcher is watching—and Falconheart’s sure he is watching. He’s watching on with pride as Bugkit is named Bugpaw and apprenticed to-

Morningcloud.

The tom’s heart twists into a wretched knot, and just as it has since his kithood, his face reflects a clear view of his devastation. Falconheart doesn’t know what to do, what to say. Dual-toned eyes cloud with a film of tears, blurring his vision until he can hardly see the leader or his siblings anymore. He shouldn’t have gotten too caught up in his hopes, he knows, but still he can’t help but to think… he should have gotten to mentor one of them. Mousenose and Sparkwing got to mentor their younger siblings—he’d really hoped he could do the same. He’d wanted that feeling, that closeness with one of his siblings. But he… he didn’t get any of them. He didn’t get an apprentice at all. Does Howlingstar not believe he can do it? Is there something wrong with him?

He swallows harshly around the lump that’s formed in his throat, feeling a flare of agony erupt in his chest. It isn’t the end of the world, not to be given one of his siblings as an apprentice. He shouldn’t be feeling like Howlingstar has thrown him away. He should be… happy for his siblings, for the start of this new part of their lives. But he can’t shove the feeling of failure away, the feeling that… that should be him. "Scorched-" his voice cracks, and his ears flatten back against his head. He has to call out their names, needs to cheer them on as they greet their mentors. "Scorchedpaw, Sunpaw, Squirrelpaw, Bugpaw," he continues quickly, voice wobbling as he speaks. But he doesn’t stick around any longer—the cream tabby quickly ducks away from the meeting, rushing toward the camp’s entrance. Hunting patrol. I’m just busy.

[Morningcloud]

.·:*¨༺ ❀ ༻¨*:·. Settling comfortably amongst her clanmates, chartreuse optics watch as the group of four apprentices- and Thundergleam- are called forward. Morningcloud hadn’t interacted with any of them very much, though the drama the ring-leaders had recently stirred put the young cats on the warriors radar by reputation alone. At the end of the day, they were still Morningcloud’s clanmates, her peers now, too. Hopefully with this step into warriorhood, ignorance would be shed. “Briarsong! Smokefur! Darkthistle! Emberface! Thundergleam!” The warrior cheers the celebratory melody alongside the rest of the clan. The apprentice ceremony is going to be lengthy, and Morningcloud does not envy Howlingstars position as one name is listed after the other. It’s a good thing, she knows. Perhaps one will be assigned to her, as an experienced warrior the thought isn’t too outlandish. To her delight, when verdant eyes find her in the crowd, Morningcloud is already dipping her head, rising to her paws to give her new apprentice the ceremonious greeting. “Hello, Bugpaw.” She hums gently with an eager grin before touching her nose to the new apprentices. When she sits back down, she is already chanting once more. “Scorchedpaw! Sunpaw! Squirrelpaw! Bugpaw!”

[BLUESTRIDE]

જ➶ So much is happening this meeting. New warriors being bad and he raises his voice with those cheering and chanting their names as they have earned their right to be full warriors. His muzzle snaps closed then and he is surprised at how many kits are becoming apprentices. If he thinks about it it fills him with a certain amount of joy to see that his clan is thriving. The home that accepted him is large and bountiful this green leaf. He glances around for his sister when his ears prick up and his name is called. Snapping back to attention he looks to Howlingstar as she names him an acceptable mentor for Dwindlingpaw. The idea to have such trust makes him take this not lightly. A duty he needs to attend to and rigorously at that. Dipping his head he moves to his apprentice then and gives a small smile. He is sure they will get along just fine during their apprenticeship.

He will make sure to train them to understand the world around them and he already has a first lesson in mind. ​

 

[MOUSENOSE]

Mousenose has felt strange since Sunshinespot had left her side; she is pleased to hear Howlingstar call her name to mentor one of the many new kits. The mostly-white tortoiseshell gives her leader a nod of acknowledgment, the praise warming her pelt like new sunshine. She skips over to Shroudedpaw, who approaches her on tentative paws. The two of them touch noses, and Mousenose smiles brightly at the ginger-and-white tom.

"I'll do my best to teach you everything you need to know," she promises, her ears flicking forward. "We'll go see ThunderClan's territory and the other borders as soon as the meeting's over!" She settles next to the other apprentice, her tail curling around her paws.
