pafp The mind electric ☠ Laughter

[Bonechill.]

*+:｡.｡ When you grow up with a mom like Ferndance, your humor tends to be a little warped.
Sometimes, especially compared to his mom and siblings, Bonepaw stands out like a sore thumb. The boy emotes about as little as he speaks. His dull green eyes are always half-lidded with boredom, his maw sealed permanently in a straight, unimpressed line. For a boy so young with so much life ahead of him, you would've thought he'd be more...I don't know, full of life? Instead, he wisps through the world like a ghost, trailing after his family or mentor, or sticking to the shadows like a phantom tethered to camp only by unseen forces rather than any will of his own. Today, @CHILLEDSTAR. would be his anchor to this plane of existence as the boy wanders behind the feline, tasked to exist here as one of their patrol members.

Then, before them, a frog. No, wait, there were two of them, scrunched together on a log like two mates.
That is, until, at the same time, they struck out their tongues in an attempt to catch a singular fly positioned a few inches away. Their efforts only resulted in the fly escaping while the two frogs leap away, either startled by each other or frustrated.
"What a shame" Bonepaw's ear twitches, catching his leader's soft comment despite Chilledstar not seemingly intending for anyone to listen.

"Guess they got too tongue-tied to stick it out together"

Involuntarily, Bonepaw takes rhythmic, vocalized action, upsetting his respiratory system the epiglottis half-closes the larynx, causing his air intake to occur irregularly- he gasps.
In other words, Bonepaw starts choking on his laughter.

The boy laughs so hard, that he's soon doubling over, giggling and wheezing, then laughing some more at any attempt he makes to try and stop. He just can't! So the child of few words continues to make none at all - well, maybe besides and endless 'hahaha!'

[CHILLEDSTAR.]

okay they don't expect this. they don't expect that they're going to get this much of a laugh from their puns. they love puns. they don't say then as often as they should but within recent moons, they've had more of a reason to. something, or rather someone, is getting them to laugh more. it feels good. stars know how long its been since they've just been able to laugh and let go. and thus they feel better about making puns. but a response like this is unprecedented. bonepaw is surely no stranger to oddities given who his parents are, but they've never seen him laugh like this before. somehow, this eggs them on. they think that he deserves to laugh more. he does. the world is a scary place and if one could laugh– they damn well should.

"oh, bonepaw. don't tell me you're laughing that hard already? that's not even my best work here. I mean, look. they toad-ally seem to be stuck together. maybe they're slime-mates. or even amphib-emies."

[ ༻❄༺ ] Seeing the frogs jump away after attempting to catch similar prey had been... amusing of course, but they had not expected to hear the pun Chilledstar decided to make which left Bonepaw absolutely choking on his own laughter to the point the leader began making even more puns on the whim that made an unamused look dance across the tom's face. He wasn't sure how they could be that funny but... it is what it is he supposed as he let a soft sigh slip from his maw.

"Those are... great....jokes, Chilledstar" he said awkwardly, feeling it would be better to just... he suppose lie instead of ruining the whole mood just because he didn't find their leader's puns all that amusing. Of course, he was sure another would come along and just ruin the mood that Chilledstar had left in place, but Snowpaw was quite impressed that they managed to get the normally quiet Bonepaw to laugh.

[SHARPSHADOW]

Of all the reasons there were to leave camp and never look back— of which there are many— this might top them all. All of these frogs, and his stomach still churned. All these frogs, and he still wasn't satisfied. All these frogs, and Chilledstar died for it. All these frogs, and all they have to show for it is amphib-emies. At this point in time, they are three stoic cats at an apprentice that would have to be sent to Starlingheart later. Over tongue - tied? Tongue - tied? It's not even a joke. It's more of an observation, really.

He stares out into the marsh. Counts reeds, counts trees, counts frogs. way less than last moon, thank goodness. He does literally anything else, so he doesn't begin questioning the state of his life based on amphib-emies. He had several better reasons to do so.

He finds the skyline and he looks to it. The illusion of peace washes over him. " I'm blown away. "​

"I fear to hear your best work- this is painful." Though she can't help but cringe away at how cheesy the jokes are, Lilacfur's tone is one of humor. Nearly everyone that wasn't Bonepaw was not holding aching sides and stopping themselves from folding over in laughter, their tastes in humor far more finely aged for certain.

She can't help but look to Shadepaw, then. They were more like their mothers in the sense of silliness, did she find this just as hilarious? Or could this be Bonepaw's special flavor of comedy.

[Laurelgrin]

The blue tom had other things to get done, in fact he had training with Ferndance any moment now, and yet his attention had been drawn to her direct kin. Bonepaw was laughing like a loon, Laurelpaw could hardly even process it. He had just barely seen out of the corner of his eye the two dumb frogs. If he had been in clearer view of it maybe it would have gotten a snort out of him. But this? Maybe Bonepaw was finally breaking, maybe after he catches his breath he'll run into the marsh and never return, Laurelpaw could hope for that at least.

It's then that he actually hears a bit of why this little scenario is so funny, and that would fall upon Chilledstar's shoulders. They had added fuel to the fire with little jokes and wordplay, and apparently that's all it takes for Bonepaw. Judging by the rest of the cats reactions to the jokes, no one really thinks that Chilledstar needs a hype man as loud as the rosette boy is. Honestly though, if this causes Bonepaw to follow around ShadowClan's leader more often it mean he was less likely to be around himself, and that was alright in Laurelpaw's books. Although his laugh was rather annoying... so maybe it would be better if he wasn't fed more jokes.
