"I WANNA CLIMB!!!" Eveningpaw screeched, bounding over with an excited wave of their tail. They were basically bouncing out of their fur.

She could definitely use some climbing. She was no ThunderClan cat, but it seemed like a good skill to have nontheless. With slow and hesitant steps, Icepaw made her way towards where apprentices and warriors were already gathering, flinching and grimacing at Eveningpaw's unnecessarily loud screeching.

BristleThorn padded up, DarkPaw poked out to join the crowd.

Moonpaw padded over. Why not? It's not like she had anything to do at the moment, and it was always good to practice once in a while.

The dark grey-blue cat shivers in the leaf-bare breeze as they come to the climbing event. They watch the excitable apprentices with a twitch of their crooked whiskers and a tail flick.

"Always good to practice," they meow, shifting their sensitive paws. He hasn't had to climb since they've gotten this injury, but they don't back down. It's just another scar they'll overcome.

Chestnutpaw

No purrks/ she-cat (she/her/it)/ 2/100


Chestnutpaw looks with bit of interest, and walks over and mews “ I would like some tree-climbing training!” She was sitting next to darkpaw and icepaw, wondering if she be good at tree climbing as she watch littlegory shivers for bit.

Owlthroat
he/him | Shadowclan Enforcer | 44 moons
Killer Aptitude T3 - Just A Scratch - Silver Tongue T2
The Dancing Bird

Time to train the clan, or something along those lines. The air was bitingly cold, but that made for simple tree climbing. Improved vision with a lot less leaves and all. The two cats were a right pair, both grumpy and full of disdain to the eyes. He almost laughed as Briarsplash suggested no kits, as if they’d dare approach the two hulking figures. She didn’t seem to be fond of all the attention, Owlthroat revelled in it. Being a figurehead for the clan just seemed to stroke his ego more and more. He hadn’t quite made up his mind yet though on Briarsplash, she wasn’t his first choice for a budding friendship. Nor his first choice for an enemy, he’d just have to see how this went.

He was experienced in climbing, not quite as adept as those Thunderclanners who lived and breathed it. But he’d been up plenty trees, improved and refined his skills over the moons. His thick jagged claws were simply divine when it came to grabbing a hold of bark. However his weight wasn’t always to his advantage, he couldn’t scale the narrow branches like the smaller cats could. He’d simply break or bend them and plummet swiftly to his end.

Owlthroat smiled widely as Tuftedtusk approached. ”Good, I don’t mind the extra hand”, his head dipping gently. Such a contrast to his previously stern face, Owlthroat was one to give mental whiplash. For such a hard exterior he held such a softness underneath it all, it was gentle and loving. He’d go to the ends of the earth and back for his kin. Even though they shouldn’t, for him it came above the clan. His gaze turned to Briarsplash, black nose twitching letting her know he was ready to get this started whenever she was.

Willowpaw

The cat buried her head in the soft bedding of her nest. She's feeling particularly horrible today. The gloomy fog that seemed to have been coating her thoughts for days had grown heavier, and it felt like she could barely see through it. The cat sighed, attempting to fall asleep. She was just on the precipice of dozing off, when a meeting was suddenly called. She jerked awake, alarmed for a moment, before it melted into apathy. What was going on this time? The cat soon found out that it wasnt infact a meeting, and that she'd just mistook an event for one. She groaned, and stalked off to go back to bed, but she paused at the entrance to the apprentice den.

Tree climbing. The cat might've joined the bait patrol when dealing with the rats if she'd learned to do that. If she'd done that, she mightve not wound up as a caretaker apprentice. She didnt like her current rank. It didnt say "woo! look at you; a warrior soon! keep on going buddy", it said "how delusional are you??". She knew being a caretaker on its own wasnt really that bad, it might even be popular among the others. But it was more that the cat was worried to death that the rest of shadowclan thought that she was so vacuous that she had to be retired to refreshing nest-moss and cleaning elders' ticks. Was that really what they thought of Willowpaw? Even if the cat was a bit dizzy, surely she was just a little hiccup that everybody would forget soon enough? Nearly every single fibre of her being immediately answered with a No.

So, they hated her because she was Willowpaw. That answer sat well with her, and there was a clear solution to it. She just wouldnt be Willowpaw anymore. The cat would still keep the name and body, but she'd have to change her personality. Completely.

After a moment of brainstorming what an ideal warrior apprentice would be, the cat figured out that it was actually pretty hard to invent a new personality from scratch. So maybe she should have a reference.... Her mind jumped to Owlthroat. He was an enforcer, scary and fierce and scary some more. Wasnt that the ideal shadowclanner? The cat thought she might feel bad being all mean and stuff (mean to everyone but turtlepaw, of course), but mean was better than being exiled to become a kittypet.

The cat padded over to where the event was being hosted, putting on her most ornery, bad-tempered expression. Maybe it wasnt perfect, but it was a start. A start towards becoming a warrior once again.

Hmm, a climbing event? Run by Briarsplash and Owlthroat, no less. Now he thought about it, he'd never seen the two so much as talk to each other. Not that he was keeping tabs on every interaction, but it was a little interesting to see them running an event together. Perhaps the two had clicked.

He couldn't say climbing was his forte, but it would be best to show face. He could always head out hunting if it got dull. "I'm happy to assist where necessary." He commented, approaching the two. There were a decent few cats here now. Tuftedtusk also offered to help. He'd seen Tuftedtusk and Owlthroat together quite often, and it didn't take a genius to notice how much Owlthroat's exterior changed around the tom. Hmm. Maybe he should poke him about it. Not that he knew how. HE didn't talk to anyone about those things. Never mind Owlthroat.

Anyway. Climbing. That was the important thing right now. He recalled his session with Silentpaw. It would be important to keep an eye on how the 'paws were doing. He'd try to pick up early if one of them seemed scared.

Muddypaw's eyes widened as she heard the call. Wow, climbing training! She loved being able to train for a while. Some may find training tedious or pointless, but muddypaw loved it. She loved the freedom, the escape, the feeling of the wind in her fur, the tinge of claws and teeth and thorns and anything else against her skin. So she was excited for this. Muddypaw bounded over, large paws coming to a halt in the middle of the gathering cats.
