pafp THRILLS DON'T COME FOR FREE ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ CLEAN-UP

[Halfsun]

The frogs had done a number on their camp. Everyone was exhausted from killing them, from organizing the chaos. Halfpaw, however, seems to have nothing but endless energy. A trait leftover from kithood, she could keep trucking along long after others were ready to call it quits for the day and she absolutely uses said trait to her advantage now. She had enlisted the help of anyone who was still standing and who hadn't shooed her away immediately but really that only left her with Snowpaw of all cats. She knows of him, of course. She would have to be hare-brained to not. But admittedly she knows little to nothing about him. Though she supposes that is no one's fault but her own because she hadn't exactly been the most emotionally available cat like... ever. "I GOT ANOTHER ONE!" She loudly declares as she holds up her prize. Another frog. One of the stragglers no doubt missed by the adults because it had cleverly hidden while the rest of its compatriots were slaughtered one by one. She would feel bad if they weren't so terribly annoying.

She drops her catch at the other apprentice's feet, a satisfied smirk pulling up the corners of her lips as her tail waves lazily in the air. "I don't know why everyone's complaining, this is super easy." she says right before licking her forepaws clean of residual slime. The only hard part was how absolutely disgusting she felt after the fact. Frogs were by far her least favorite thing in the world to catch or to eat, but it wasn't exactly like rabbits were leaping across the border to be caught and she had quickly learned in ShadowClan, you very much had to eat whatever you could get. One could not afford to be picky, not here at least. "How many more do you think we can get?" She asks, a challenge in her mismatched blue eyes.

// please wait for @Snowpaw.

[Snowlark.]

[ ༻❄༺ ] Despite being grateful for the amount of prey they have gotten, and the abundance of it after a harsh and scarce leaf-bare; enough was enough. When Halfpaw had asked him to help eradicate whatever stray frog there was he couldn't help but agree to her request. These frogs could cause more damage than good, especially if they get into Starlingheart's den, which was something the clan did not need in the current moment. His head perked up when he heard Halfpaw having caught another one, yellow eyes trained on the other with a hum of contempt l.

He watched as she dropped the creature in front of his paws, and couldn't help but wrinkle his nose at the slimey creature while Halfpaw prompted on how she didn't understand why it was difficult believing it to be easy while a soft chuckle danced on his maw. "Some of us don't tend to look in the most random places" he explained before beginning to poke the dead frog, expecting it to move. His gaze then flicked onto the other with a slight shrug "Mayhaps a few, could me maybe three or four, depends. They're everywhere" he told her bemused, and the frogs do sometimes wonder into camp even if its becoming less and less a common thing amongst the group.

[sneezepaw]

Sneezepaw had caught enough frogs just to carry his own weight. But after the night of their invasion, he hadn't been able to look at them the same way. Their creepy, crawly hoppy legs - their bulging eyes, their snake heads. He'd be content to never see another frog again after this.

Thankfully, some of the other apprentices have done enough damage control for all of them combined, so Sneezepaw didn't feel totally awful for not pitching in more because of his silly little fear. Even now, he kept his distance as he watched Halfpaw and Snowpaw hunt for frogs. A small frown settles onto his maw at Halfpaw's remark. Easy, sure, but.. scary.

Soon enough, there is talk of how many they could catch, and Sneezepaw thinks he sees a challenge in Halfpaw's expression. His frown turns upside-down as a new idea forms in his head. "Hey! What if you two race for it? Whoever catches the most frogs in a few minutes wins?" he suggests. It'll keep them busy, give them a fun reason to keep the frog population down, and subsequently eliminate the need for Sneezepaw to confront his fear. Win-win-win.

[nectarsong]

"Good StarClan, Halfpaw, you're still going?" Nectarsong's purr is lined with genuine awe at the apprentice's endless energy. The tortie themself added had given up by now, two dozen frogs from the crevices of the warriors' den more than enough to allow an overtired Clanmate to stop tossing and turning in the nest next to their own. Sneezepaw bounces over to the ever-stoic Snowpaw, practically bursting at the idea of a competition, and Nectarsong hums a fragile laugh regardless of whether or not the idea catches on immediately.

"I can keep count of the time, if you all want to join in." Their tailtip flicks, blue eyes closing briefly in a slow blink. If they could just keep the apprentices in line for a bit longer, then the camp would be even clearer, and ShadowClan would be better off.​

 

[SINGEPAW]

*+:｡.｡ "Who in Starclan's name says mayhaps unironically anymore?" Singepaw barked contemptuously, approaching a step behind his brother. He shoots Sneezepaw a brief glance, minding the large gap between his sibling and the frog, but making no comment. Singepaw did, after all, also have a huge fear of bugs, so he wasn't about to shame Sneezepaw for his odd phobia. Instead, the flame-point would smirk excitedly at the suggestion his chocolate-striped littermate presented. "If you're doin' a race, then I want in" he smirked. Towards Snowpaw, it was a sneer, but with Halfpaw, his toothy smile was one born of exited challenge. Halfpaw was fun to wrestle with, and her enthusiasm for killing the frogs was enviable! A shame she chose to spend this purging expedition with Snowpaw and not him - not that - not that he wished she'd asked him instead, or anything!
Ahem.
"Winner gets to have one of the only fresh kill items that isn't a frog, deal?" no challenge was right without a good reward, after all!
