MAGGOTPAW . 11 MOONS . IT/THEY . WINDCLAN
SILVER TONGUE T1

"I'll get flowers." Maggotpaw resists the urge to stamp its feet and whine that Mosspaw is doing things out of order and that it wants to know about Catchingflame, already. Mosspaw looks all worn and weary, so whatever the story is, it won't be as good as it could be if he slept on it first.

"Sleep tight, Mosspaw. I'll know if you don't, okay? So watch out." Maggotpaw nudges him toward the apprentices' den firmly and then clears out, itself, after the news of the barncats rolls in. It's a little curious about them, but mostly they just sound stupid. Besides—Maggotpaw can't fight. They'll happily let other cats address this potential hazard and collect the stories later.

WHITERABBIT . 25 MOONS . SHE/HER . WINDCLAN
LUCKY DUCK T2

So maybe she'd been emulating a drowsy slug, squeaking out encouraging and celebratory feedback whenever appropriate so far in the background that there'd've hardly been any minding her at all buuuuuut,

Whiterabbit makes a little white missile-on-legs of herself at the call to stick around in order to visit the strangers on their land. She bounces up right alongside Birchfawn, who's got the same idea in mind.

"I would also like to come!"

Rookpaw
♜ WindClan Apprentice | 8 moons

She'd listen to the cats around mumble their usual meeting chitter chatter and cheered for the new warriors to the best of her ability. Not loud, but she still made sure to chant their name in spirit. One day, that'd be her. Her mismatched eyes sparkled in admiration for the new warriors or...tunnelers. Though she couldn't understand the full appeal to the underground stuff, a bunch of her littermates seemed to be quite enamored with that occupation.

One mention of chasing out some cats in a nearby barn had caught the slender gray apprentice's interest. Rookpaw slowly made her way towards the gathering of cats around Mother, hoping she could get picked for this confrontation...or uh...peaceful interaction as Twilightstar would want it do be, but there was no way Rookpaw would miss this. "Mother, I want to join. I could fight if need be."

Moorsong hung around the Galewood. She was very interested in going to patrol the hills and try to reclaim their territory (short post mobile)

Shademist looked around for Twilightstar so he can join this adventure with her. When he finally found her, he dipped his head respectfully to her in greeting. "Excuse me, Twilightstar? May I come on this adventure with you to the barn cats?" he asked politely.

Lightnight looked at Heathernose. Getly licking her ear as he mewed. "I'm going to go...."
Fernpaw overheard his stepfather and mewed "better comeback ok"

Shrikepaw
she/her - 8 moons

Twilightstar began to speak again, and Shrikepaw turned her head to listen. Hawkfur had found... Barncats?! She tilted her head, as Twilightstar explained what a barncat was. Hm. Like a kittypet but... Not. She didn't like that they were staying in WindClan's precious territory, but, if Corwtooth convinced them to join WindClan, they'd be new friends! Then, ma mentioned a loner. She sniffed. It better not be her 'dad'. Because, she really didn't want to deal with meeting him. Not now, not ever.

Meeting dismissed - but, oh! Ma was picking cats to go with her?! "OOooooooooh pick me, pick me!!" The apprentice chirped, looking up at her mother with her biggest most pleading-est eyes. Any opportunity to explore the territory was good - plus, they might be getting new recruits for WindClan! How fun was that?! Or, if the barn cats were hostile, they might get a fight. Which was even more exciting - if not a teensy bit scary. Sometimes, a little bit of scariness was fun. "Crowtooth taught me how to fight!"

The gentle giant's white, imposing form could be spotted at the camp's entrance, his vigil silent as he kept watch for any of the cats that had vanished... as well as any intruders that might harm the cats that remained. His ears had been half paying attention towards the meeting, his eyes solemn upon the plateau just outside the safety of the walls, pausing his self imposed duty only when the time came to cheer or when he scanned the crowd for his son. To have the leader as his mentor would be quite the honor... even if said honor came at the cost of Deadmoon's loss... Still, it was not the first time his former mentor had gone missing, and he had no doubt she would return safe and sound just like she had before.

"Oh! Oh! Grandma! Can I join!"

At the sound of his daughter's voice, Snowybreeze looked up, having already been interested in Twilightstar's task. His heart grew warm with the affection he felt for Gnawingpaw as she excitedly hopped around a calm, polite Dapplebreeze who was already standing to volunteer for the mission. It always made the Maine Coon mix glow with pride whenever he saw his darling treasures being so thoughtful of their clanmates. So eager to help their clan. He was sure that in time they would grow to be lovely, loyal, fierce warriors, and he couldn't be more pleased at the thought.

Mismatched ears perked up in realization. He should probably volunteer alongside his family. It was the right thing to do. He was... admittedly not as good with words as his grandmother was, but he did strive to be friendly! And if things went bad... well... He was a big cat. Perhaps he wasn't the fiercest, strongest, or best fighter there was, but he would always defend his clanmates, no matter what. Besides, he had to be a good role model! Especially seeing as how both Gnawingpaw and Dapplebreeze were already volunteering themselves!

"I. I would. Like to. Volunteer. As well," Snowybreeze mewed in his usual, soft voice as he stood and walked towards the gathering crowd.

__________________________________________________

Jaggedpaw was sitting with his tail curled around his paws and an unapproachable scowl clinging to his face. He'd never truly been outright ignored before, hell he'd usually at least get a glance! He hadn't expected that his comment towards windpaw would be brushed aside like it hadn't been said at all, had he said something offending enough that the usually happy go lucky apprentice had chosen to give him the cold shoulder. He'd sat down, asked her a question and then she'd gotten up and walked off to talk with her sister and mentor without acknowledging him. Didn't bother him at all, who cares anyway. She wasn't important- well she was but also he didn't care. It didn't irk him. Maybe those rumours were really getting others to act differently around him. That idea did sit well with him.

He continued to listen to the meeting with disinterest, pale green eyes scanning the crowd for one of his siblings. He didn't see frostie and straws looked like she'd rather not be bothered. He thought he saw gnawingpaw but he didn't know how to approach. That was weird, she was his sister it should be easy but it just didn't come naturally. He'd work on that. When the crowd began chanting the new warriors he joined out of obligation, of course on other occasions he may have been a tad bit more enthusiastic for his clanmates considering they had done well for their clan and became warriors but today he was not in the mood.

Miss Twighlightstar moved on the reassignments and surprisingly he heard his own name. At that the mostly speckled apprentice sat up a bit straighter. His mentor was Twighlightstar? Oh hohohoho. He couldn't help the grin that cracked through his scowl. Having the leader as your mentor was definitely something to be proud about– and to flex to frostie about later. Hehe. He didn't make his way over to Twighlightstar in time before she continued the meeting. He would just wait to talk to her afterwards. There was definitely a whole lot he could learn from a very important and experienced cat like herself!

Miss Twighlightstar informed the clan of the intruders- rephrase– the ‘barn cats’ that now lived in the twolegs structure on windy hills. Jaggedpaw did care how friendly these cats were, from what it sounded like they were trespassing and frankly a menace to be dealt with. Jaggedpaw didn't understand why any cat would want to live with those giant freaks, any cat that chose the easy path in life were cowardice and a disgrace. Jaggedpaw literally rolled his eyes when Twighlightstar mentioned that Crowtooth had had the ’bright idea’ to recruit some of these cats. Now why would they want to do that? He'd think everyone would assume kittypets were down right useless, they lives off those giants that did everything for them. Probably entitled brats. Dumb idea from the deputy definitely.

Twighlightstar explained a bit more of her plan but none of it seemed to involve anything he could help with. Finally she dismissed the meeting saying she would be taking a small group with her but only those over 6 moons and with battle training. Oh boo, he was only one of those things! Well sorta. He had unfinished battle training and he doubted that would get him a pass. Maybe maybeee he could go along? He was good at brawling, and Deadmoon had managed to teach him the basics of not getting hit before she went missing. That counted for something right. Trying his luck, Jaggedpaw decided to stick around he wanted to see these barn kittypets for himself after all. Making his way closer to the galewood, the speckled apprentice came to stop and wait. "I'd like to come too if that's not to much trouble."

Gracklepaw was on his paws in an instant. As soon as those last few words left Twilightstar's mouth.

"Ooh, me! I'd like to go, Twilightstar!" He'd just finally gotten around to pronouncing her full name rather than 'Twillystar'. He ran towards the group that was assembling, blue eyes bright and shining. Always eager and ready to go. He couldn't do the last Twoleg thing, having had no battle training back then — but he knew a bit more now, after a session with Uncle Crows!

Echosong stretched out her front legs before standing. "I'll go if needed," she offered before sitting back down, tail tucked under her paws.
