camp RED FISH, BLUE FISH (fishing competition)

[TWINKLEPAW]

Twinklekit had never caught a fish before. Not even the tiniest of minnows. All had been too fast a slippery, but ma said to keep practicing and one day she'll be able to catch *loads* of fish!

She hopes today is the day, because somehow she had gotten herself enrolled in a fishing competition with the other kits.

She stands at the river, uncaring where he shadow hovered or how much movement she was making. With no training she was bound to fail unless luck was by her side.

As a tiny paw slams onto the surface of the water her paw would resurface empty. The school of minnows darted off, in a blink of an eye they were hiding behind rocks and Reed beds out of her reach. Whiskers furrow frustrated, the apprentices made catching these minnows look so easy!

She looks around the stream to see if anyone was having better luck. She curls her tail in hopes they hadn't...

// mobile post and fishing competition prompt! Shea just fishing with other kits, supervised around the stream in camp. Apps and warriors free to participate even if it was initially meant for kits. I rolled for twinkles success, if you want you can for your oc too :)

 

[STREAMKIT]

✧ . Ma's been letting him near the river more often. The shallow parts of it, at least. One day — when he's big and grown —he'll get to swim in the deepest parts of it, but for now, he gets to sit with the rest of the kits at the safest part of it. Among the group, Streamkit watches with wonder as the river sparkles, as minnows move beneath the water's surface.

He doesn't know how it starts, but a competition arises between them. Catch a fish. Or two, or three, or..! Streamkit's never caught a fish, but he can try!

As he tries to remember the what little he's already been taught, sky eyes watch his namesake intently for his target. He has to be still, which is hard, because he wants the minnows to hurry up, hurry up, hurry —

A school of silver darts in his direction, and this is it! he decides. With unsheathed kitten claws, a white paw splashes downward, sending water flying all around him, and the minnows scattering below the surface. He is swift in pulling his paw back, and his eyes go wide at what he sees.

There, hooked between his claws, a minnow wriggles. It's small, but it's still something! " I… I caught one! " the kitten announces, their voice squeaking in surprise as he looks to the other kittens. Had anyone else caught anything?​

[pebbletail]

( ☼ ) there's a warmth that glows within the hefty blue tabby every time he has an opening to spend time with his little siblings. snow white paws dance across camp on this particular day because he's been given a break by foxtail and he can spot the plethora of smaller bodies dappling the shore of the stream. one such silver and white form is that of twinklekit, one of lichentail and hazecloud's brood. a soft purr will resonate from the young apprentice's chest as he watches his little sister smack the water with a clawed paw, her little muzzle crinkling in distaste as no fish appears. "that was a really good try," he murmurs to twi as he sidles up next to her.

the sun is bright overhead, the small brook lapping softly at his paws as he watches the rest of the kittens make their attempts. streamkit has more success than twinklekit, managing to snatch probably the tiniest minnow this side of the swamps. still, pebblepaw applauds politely. "good one, streamkit!" he praises, before turning his attention back to his sister. "do you want me to show you what foxtail taught me? i caught a really big trout the other day using his techniques."

eyebrows wiggle up and down, ember gaze already fixed on the flowing water. a dark shadow floats across his vision, some well sized fish seeking nutrients towards the edges of the bank. "you wanna really get under the body of the fish so you can scoop it up. look for a fish you think is the size you can manage, cause if it's too big, it'll swim away," thorn sharp claws unsheathe, the snowy paw hovering over the water for a brief moment before pebblepaw scoops in, paw reaching under the body of the fish and tossing it up. it glimmers in the sunlight, a spectacle of rainbow scales and diamond water droplets before he lands it on the bank and finishes it quickly. "like that!" he announces, grinning.
