camp slide to the left - ice

The pitter patter of a soft rain and the occasional whistle of wind echoed throughout the den as she laid in her nest. Before she closed her eyes to sleep, she glanced towards the den's opening, hoping that when the clan awoke the next morning that a blanket of snow wouldn't be covering everything in sight. The last thing they needed was getting trapped inside the warrior's den again...just thinking about digging out again made her paws sting. The tabby let out a long breath and flick her thick tail over her nose, allowing sleep to claim her.

The next morning she awoke as sunlight was still creeping into the camp. Her lips curled back as she let out a tired yawn, and began to pull herself away from the rest of the sleeping bodies. There wasn't enough room to stretch properly while everyone was still in there, so she decided to wait until she was outside the den. To her delight there was no snow on the ground, but what she didn't realize was there was something else in store for her.

Three unsuspecting paws step outside of the den, and immediately she realizes her mistake. With her fourth paw still in the air, her body begins to slide forward. "Oh no.." she breathes sharply, her legs tensing. She slams her last paw down, and tries to dig her claws into the ground. It takes her a few tries, but she eventually sturdies herself on top of the ice. I wonder if I can make it back to the den without looking like a mouse brain... she wonders, turning her head back towards the den. As she looks, she spots some clanmates starting to stir. "Be careful! It's uh...slick.."

Rabbitnose was just waking up when he hears Flamewhisker speak, but he doesn't hear her clearly. Something about... Slickness. It cant be that bad, he thinks. Untangling himself from Sunfreckle he gives a big stretch and lays limp for a moment before rising to his paws to join those who were leaving the den. The cold air makes him want to return to his nest... But he must push himself away from the warmth of his mate no matter how tempting it is.

"Good morning!" He greets everyone quietly. He looks to the ground outside the den that Flamewhisker stands on. Slick it certainly is! But he has an inkling of confidence. He steps out onto the frozen ground.

Yet even with his claws extended, he still slips and falls flat on his belly with a startled squeal.

"I even tried to be careful!" He exclaims, scrabbling to his paws. After much effort, he finally gets on all four and sighs.

Why must nature bully him so!!​

'CAUSE SOMEWHERE DOWN THE BANK — The snowy pawed healer had been curled rather contentedly with his arm covering his face as his sides rose and fell but his slumber was disturbed by the startled squeal that sounded from Rabbitnose's maw just outside of the den, he blinks his eyes a few times before sighing quietly to himself. A part of him wishes to sleep once more to not bother in checking what had startled the aloof warrior but the other part nags at him, after all, that's his friend's mate and he should check if he's alright. Hailstorm pushes himself to his paws heading for the mouth of the medicine den and peeking out with a twitch of his nose, it seemed that this morning was unforgivably cold like most days and his dark gaze catches the sight of Rabbitnose trying to rise to his paws and his nose scrunches up in slight confusion. The blue tom declaring that he had tried to be careful and he feels the tiniest bit doubtful, a sleepy smile pulls at the sides of his mouth "Morning you troublemakers," His tone playful before continuing to speak, "What are you two up to? The neighbors are trying to sleep."

The neighbors in question being him and Berryheart, his powerful jaws open wide to release a yawn into the chilly air and his tongue swipes across his lips. He puts a paw out and soon he receives his answer as he slips forward with his chest hitting the ground first before the rest of him followed, well, he was definitely wide awake now. He's dumbstruck as he lays there soon pressing one snowy paw to the slick camp clearing and does the same with his other paws, his rump wiggles behind him like a fawn's tail until he finally lifts himself up. He's starting to think that he prefers the camp being muddy over this anyday and he turns his gaze to both of the warriors, a sheepish grin appearing on his maw.

Lightpaw overheard some commotion out in the camp clearing in her half-asleep mind. Blinking with bleary eyes, the young fem unfurled herself. Stiffness from sleep and the cold eased with a little bit of stretching and a shake for good measure. She smoothed a forepaw over her ear a few times to rid herself of a cowlick. Lightpaw overheard Hailstorm and smiled, she always appreciated a good tease now and again. She peered out of the apprentice den to see the rather amusing sight of Flamewhisker, Rabbitnose and Hailstorm, all trying their best to stay upright on the ice. She thought for a moment, before an even bigger smile broke out across her face. She bunched her legs under her, wriggled her haunches, and launched herself out of the apprentice den. The wet ice was just as slippery as she had hoped, though, maybe a bit too much. She squealed, sliding across camp. So what if she wanted to indulge her kit side a bit.
