camp TURNING COLORS || intro

[Nettlepaw-]

There's a breeze, biting, but not yet cold. Upon it's winds, the rattle of leaves. Some would say that this was a time of change, where green became an assortment of orange, red, and gold. Nettlekit has never understood the expression. To him, it all looked the same, a vast canvas of light and dark, with no discernable color. The occasional shadow will flit across his vision, just barely perceptible, but he can hear far better than he can see, and an ear twitches in recognition of the RiverClan warrior who strides gracefully past. Eyes of milky emerald gaze outward, into the abyss of near-nothing. A stare that reflects deep thought, and focus. Nettlekit is listening.

Since birth, he has been blind. Perhaps for this reason, his other senses were sharper than those of his clan-mates. Still, he stumbled and tripped his way through his so-far short life, occasionally tumbling over his own paws. As time passed, he seemed to get the hang of things a bit better, but life was still a struggle. A frustration. Something he could curse at night. But from that childhood bitterness, another sensation festered. Determination. He was alive. Breathing and healthy. He would not let his lack of vision weigh too heavily upon his shoulders. The stars had seen it fit to curse his first breath, but he did not need their blessings. He needed only his own resolve. The rest would come with time.

Something lashes gently across his muzzle. At first, he thinks it's a tail, but no... there's no fur, no sound of paw-steps. It's brittle, and flaky. A fallen leaf, he realizes, torn from the tree tops across the river. Nettlekit claws it away from his muzzle, lets his nails tear into it's fragile surface. In no time, the leaf is little more than tatters against the dirt. He does find some mild amusement in this, at least. After all, though his musings were often quite serious and mature for his age, Nettlekit is still a child at heart.

[BUMBLENOSE]

Bumblekit couldn't help but be taken aback from the sheer size of Nettlekit compared to her own sleek and slender frame. The difference in their builds was undeniable, with Nettlekit's sturdy and robust physique contrasting sharply with her own lithe one.

While she observed the other stumbling about and tearing up a leaf, a small, involuntary grimace appeared on her face at his rather bemused expression. It was a reaction she didn't help, but she couldn't deny that their glassy gaze intrigued her.

Resolving to be polite, Bumblekit purposefully planted each paw with confidence as she approached his cream pelt. Curiosity bubbling over in the inky felines expression. With a soft and bouncy tone, she chirped. "Hi! What are you up to?" Bumblekit's voice carried the warmth of genuine interest.

Their wide yellow eyes couldn't help but flicker down to the larger tomkit's claws. A feature that both fascinated and slightly intimidated her.​

 

[Nettlepaw-]

Light paw-steps in the damp earth approach. Then, youthful vocals, a scent that he knows from the nursery. Bumblekit. Pale eyes shift toward them, gazing sightlessly. She questions him, and Nettlekit can't help but wonder what he must look like, tearing into a fallen leaf. He wonders about it's color, about it's shape, little more than tatters now. He supposes it doesn't really matter. Features contort into an expression of thought as he considers how to reply.

"Uhh." The child thinks aloud. He doesn't think he needs an excuse, or a lie. He's certain other kits play just as he does. It's not strange to claw at the leaves, is it? Perhaps it is. "Practicing battle moves." Nettlekit finally offers. He cannot see their expression, but her vocals seem friendly enough. He echoes the politeness, tail twitching playfully.

[carawaysong]

carawaykit was generally watchful over her littermates, as much as she loved them both bumblekit was certainly more entertaining to observe. tidekit preferred to do most of the watching which proved to be rather boring, the tabby didn't understand what exactly her sister was thinking whilst looking, didn't much try to either. on the other paw, bumblekit was adept at nosing her way into fun. carawaykit could get behind that!

when she found the obsidian-furred kitten, she was gliding up to nettlekit who's paws moved to decimate a fallen leaf. it was unrecognizable by the time he was finished, nothing but warm toned scraps at his paws. said he was practicing battle moves, in an instant carawaykit was trotting over, puffed tail waving high.

she wanted to practice battle moves too. "we can help! we can um..." the word she was searching for did not come, left her pausing for a filler. "spore. we can spore like the warriors do!" confidence had black ears driving upwards once more, unbeknownst to her missed recall of the correct word.

"Very close," the lead murmurs in encouragement, approaching the small group of kittens with eyes half-lidded with exhaustion. "Spar." The correction is quick, flat... Spore means something quite different and they were hopeful Willowroot would not loathe their interjection to teach, even if it was just a vocabulary thing. Sitting... then crouching... paws tuck neatly under her chest as a broken tail hangs awkwardly at their side. She closes her eyes as a gentle smile settles on her face, "It's a good thing we have such strong young warriors.... I'll need someone to protect me while I take a nap."

The blue cat opens a single eye to glance at the little trio before closing it again and resting her head on the ground. A peaceful nap was not amongst her expectations despite her proclamations... kittens were kittens and it would be a surprise befitting StarClan itself if they opted for peace and silence. More than likely, she would find herself caught in a small war of battling balls of fluff.​

 

[Nettlepaw-]

Sightless eyes flicker toward Carawaykit. She wanted to... what? He peers at her wordlessly, mulling over his own thoughts, tail tip flicking against the dirt behind him. That was when the heavier paw-steps of Lichentail arrived. Nettlekit can recognize the lead warrior by scent, and by the sound of her voice. Spar, she makes clear. Carawaykit had meant that they could spar. Meanwhile, it seemed Lichentail was settling down for a nap somewhere nearby. Nettlekit isn't tired, though. In fact, he feels a buzz of energy at the thought of wrestling with another RiverClan kit. He won't admit it, though.

"Fine." Nettlekit responds with a shrug. "We can spar. I'll go first." He offers, though he doesn't give Carawaykit much time to object. Nettlekit flings himself in the other youth's direction. He can't see her, but he knows how to track her scent at least.

[BEEFANG]

₊· ͟͟͞͞➳˚❥ Beepaw was getting ready to leave to head out of camp with her father but her attention turns to the group of kittens seeing that they were getting ready for a "spore" like Carawaykit had put it and can't help but giggle a little. She glances behind her shoulder briefly before deciding to head over to them and nods a greeting over to Lichentail who seems to be getting ready for a nap. The smoke furred molly deciding to take a seat nearby before focusing on the kittens once more seeing Nettlekit lunging for Carawaykkt with both of her ears perked forward.

It reminds her of when Cicadapaw had been sparring with Sandkit that one time and a lot of the cats there were quick to praise him while Pikesplash told her littermate to have control. She recalls the way he had been almost predatory when he had been circling the little molly, she shakes her head briefly trying not to think about it as she focuses on both Carawaykit and Nettlekit knowing that as long as she and Lichentail were present it wouldn't get out of hand. Beepaw curls her bottlebrush tail wrap around her paws neatly and gives her friend an encouraging smile.

dark ears twitch at the approaching footfalls of the lead warrior. lichentail bestowed the knowledge upon her that it was indeed a spar, but despite the correction her grin didn't waver. "close enough!" the kitten chirps blissfully, watching as the pointed feline shifts into a comfortable position. "don't worry lichentail, we'll keep you safe." it was her first task, her first serious one. carawaykit would keep her promise, the lead warrior did not have to worry while they rested.

but her attention was tossed back to nettlekit, who had agreed to her plans. caught up in the excitement, she didn't even register how he geared up to spring in her direction. the tabby flops over from the contact, landing on her back with a puff of air. using two paws, she would aim to push nettlekit away. if successful, carawaykit would bring herself to her paws so she could lunge for a pin of her own.

[BUMBLENOSE]

At the arrival of her silvery sister the she-kiBumblekit's polite smile blossomed into a grin as the tom kit echoed back a courteous response. Her fur fluffed with delight, and she inched closer to the other kit. Excitement made her paws march in place, and tall ears twiddle.

At the arrival of her silvery sister, the she-kit cooed loudly from their pompous display.

"Oh!" She echoed after Carawaykit, thrilled to see her join in. The idea of tussling was far too enticing to miss out on. Prancing in place, she squeaked joyously. "Yes! I wanna spore!" Her glee wasn't dampened by Lichentail's correction and was only fueled further by her sibling's promise.

However, Nettlekit's bold move caught them both off guard.

"C'mon, Carawaykit, don't let him get the better of you!" She shrieked, tiny tail twice its normal size while watching her sibling struggle to spring free.​

 

[Nettlepaw-]

He doesn't notice Beepaw, seated nearby. No, his focus rests upon his opponent. He's surprised when he actually strikes her. Carawaykit is quick to shove him away, however. The next thing he knows, she's got him pinned to the dirt. Despite his lack of sight, the other kit's position seemed obvious enough. He finds himself relying more on instinct than thought, kicking up with his hind legs to try and pummel at her belly, keeping his claws sheathed for now. A grunt bursts from his maw as Bumblekit cheers Carawaykit onward, only deepening Nettlekit's determination to win, no matter the odds.
