Make sure to congratulate Versailles on their promotion from c-mod in training to fully fledged chat moderator! They've worked very hard, and we can't wait to see where they go from here!
Stemstone was bored. He was now a warrior and all, but he kinda...missed training... What the heck was that? But of course, not being an apprentice any longer, than opened up a new avenue to the collector of snake skins and neat furs. The cream tom confidently strode into the center of camp, carrying in his jaws a particularly cool looking snake he killed earlier, and settled down. "Oy!" He called. "If any of y'all are interested in learning how to flay, grab a piece of prey from the pile that you're gonna eat and come over 'ere!" He invited excitedly, his stark red gaze showing his pride and confidence.
He learned to flay in an event like this hosted by Mistlewhisker, so why not? He learned from the best, so he could easily pass a skill like this on. And he's definitely been keeping up with it ever since so it's not like it went rusty. He still remembered how Mistlewhisker organized her event, so keeping in that in mind he watched with expectant, curious eyes. Interested to see how many cats would gather for this.
How this will work! Depending on how many cats show up, Stemstone may/may not break everyone up into teams of two so they can work together and not totally deplete ShadowClan's prey pile lol.
To keep this moving along, I will post again every 3 IRL days!
And that's pretty much it! For apprentices, this would count as one training requirement, so if you're interested in your cat learning how to flay stuff this is an opportunity for that! It will also serve as a good socializing opportunity if we get enough participation to set up teams.
CURRENTLY WORKING AT SUMMER CAMP UNTIL AUGUST 1ST, PLEASE BE PAITENT

Weepingpaw lifted his ears at the mention of flaying. Yes! He's been dying to learn that since he saw Dawnstar skin that snake. He was tempted to try and hunt down Houndpaw, since he knew his brother had been interested in learning this too. He darted over to the fresh kill pile and looked at what they had to take. He knows he's only supposed to take one, but he was hungry, he'd eat everything he took since Momster dislikes wasting prey, and he liked having a full belly. So he took a squirrel and a crow from the pile and dragged them over to the cat with muddy feet.
"Two, take I can, Muddyfeet? Both of them, I will eat. Promise!" Weepingpaw meowed to Stemstone. He didn't recall the name, so he was getting a nickname until he learned it. Weepingpaw enlarged his pupils and eyes as wide as he could as he pleaded to get his way. He didn't know how to flay a bird, but also wanted to learn how to do it with furry creatures. He'd ask Dawnstar or Mistlewhisker later about how to skin a snake.
@Luna16 [I think you forgot to throw up a clan-wide mention]
Stemstone grinned and nodded at the two paws that approached - Weepingpaw and Covepaw he believed were their names - but his tail twitched. Surely that wouldn't be all?
{ @crow. - Covepaw | @Moonraven - Weepingpaw - good point LOL. }
Since I forgot to do the clan mentions, I'll give this two more days for paws to get over here! I only tagged people who are currently listed in the ShadowClan allegiances as RPing an apprentice, but if your warrior wants to learn this too feel free!
Grubpaw trots up to Stemstone with a mouse, eyes fixed on the tom. Flaying huh? That was something bug needed to become a warrior, so bug decided bug would participate.

Scorpionpaw padded over to Stemstone, curious on why she was being summoned. Then she realized, it was to learn a new skill! Oh! She loved learning! She was going to learn it all! One day, eventually. Right now, she'd focus on the things she could do by herself. As the she-cat turned to walk to the prey pile, she noticed Weepingpaw dragging TWO prey items from the stock. Her eyes grew round and she huffed a little.
Perhaps it was the age catching up to her, or perhaps it was the lack of interaction lately, but Scorpionpaw had grown into a less charismatic face in the last moon. She was struggling with something, but her siblings didn't know. Her Mama was growing suspicious, and she could pick it up with the way she was staring at her sometimes.
"Weepers! Share!" She spoke curtly, padding up to him. "You can eat both, but lemme flay one!" Scorp would speak, trying to sound a little more friendly this time around. She didn't mean to snap at him initially; it just came out that way. Truth be told, she really wasn't that hungry right now so if it made her brother happy to eat both, then he could.

Shadepaw padded over, grabbing a squirrel. Her amber eyes glinted in delight at this prospect of learning flaying. She knew that most Shadowclan cats knew this particular skill, but not the rest of the clans, and some cats in Shadowclan didn't. Flaying could come in handy in the future, and maybe Clovepool would be impressed if Shadepaw knew this... Wherever Clovepool is these days, she thought with a familiar stab of resentment. Maybe if she knew flaying, if she became the best at being a warrior... her mother would stop avoiding her, would finally, finally be proud of her.

Black... No, Blackpaw, padded out of the Leader's den with a new glimmer in his cold eyes. He was totally in awe.
Cats hunting in pairs, living in such a great number in such a small territory... and there were others, too! It was incredible to find out how many marvels had always been outside of his garden shell. His Mother was probably still looking at him in disregard, but did he care? No, of course not.
"Mhh, mhh... flaying. Seems like it's a common thing here." He commented at loud voice, not really addressing anyone even though the clearing was full of felines. Blackpaw... I wonder why Black wasn't good? It seems there are a lot of paws around here. I get it's a thing of age, but it sounds so weird applied to me.
He padded closer. "I'd like to learn." He stated firmly, staring at the older cat named Stemstone. If he was to become an apprentice of Shadowclan, he would have to learn their ways from the base of their bones. "That's a pretty clean work, you've got there." He commented, pointing with his muzzle at the snake skin at the cat's paws.
Marvelous.

"weeping...?" his ears perk up when he see's the apprentice, he ignores the other one, has no idea who that is. "hello" he smiled with the snake in his mouth, purring a bit... █ ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▂ ▁
