RiverClan Territory

[Abyssopelagic]

Flyfur went out into the territory to find poppy flowers and dandelions for Fawnsqueak. She spent longer than she would have liked before finding a single poppy. She picked it and angled her head to avoid losing the seeds. As she walked dejectedly back to camp, she found 7 dandelions. She weaved them into her tail and continued carrying the poppy flower back to camp.

Stealthpaw took another breath to allighn herself, then shifted downwind of the vole, "Here?" she asked

[ChillCat]

Brightpaw wiggled into position, trying to do what Lotusheart said. She crept forward, until she could almost taste the mouse. She bounded forward and trapped the mouse under her paws, but kept rolling forward until she bumped her head against a tree. "Owww... Sorry. Did I get it? I thought I got it?" @Shadeleaf

[kittygirl]

featherpaw bumped him when he made that joke, "well it wasn't that hard, but I did fall in the first try!" she huffed, "firehawk said as long as i kept my shadow out of the water i'd be "golden" but I hit the water with my paw too hard and fell in..I didn't feel golden, I felt like a saggy wet ball of fur." featherpaw explained with a miserable sigh.

@Starfall

[Shade.]

Lotusheart ran to her apprentice's side, a bit concerned for her health.
"Are you OK?" she asked urgently. The young cat didn't seem to be harmed. "Well, you had it, but you rolled over and it ran away. Good first try, though. You need to get the feel of distance and depth. It comes with practice."

"ah! oh! sorry, totally paying attention, pfff... oh yeah definitely!! wasn't you in the tree at alllll!! great catch by the way!!" dayheart grinned, poking at the squirrel tentatively. gah, it was such a cute squirrel! he envied whoever got to eat it at the fresh-kill pile. "right!!!! my turn!! go look in a .. urm, bush or something!!! no peeeekkkkiiinnnngggg."

Eveninglight gave a big purr before wandering to a bush and began waiting, listening to figure out what direction he had gone into, knowing how cool it would be to quickly find them.

"Pain tolerance exercises aren't real." He didn't know where he got that from and frankly, didn't care. "Avoid the medicine cat if you want, but when you get an infection and are dying don't come crying to me." He was serious. While Thistlestep could handle infected injuries-- he fixed Warblerpa--cry's back up real nicely, he wouldn't extend that to Blizzardpaw. Unless he got a big personality change.

"There is no weakness in being healed. There is weakness in pride.. and you're full of that." The true source of all of his fat: hubris.

Thank "StarClan" he was quick at finding cobwebs, using a stick he picked up to collect one from beneath a tree root. "The sooner you stop crying about this and start gathering whatever you can, the sooner we can be done and get started on your battle training." At this point, he mostly just wanted to batter the dung out of Blizzardpaw.

Blizzardpaw took a deep breath,” They aren’t real? Then why did Berrybu— Berryscorch teach me them when I was a kit? She explained that for apprentice duties you sit with your nose in mousebile for a few minutes so you don’t act grossed out while dealing with fleas and ticks, as for other battle training pain tolerance drills, rolling on stinging nettle to prepare myself for getting scratches from a battle, you run into the camp wall to prepare for swimming into things and rolling on thorns to prepare for other injuries.“ he meowed as he stared at the ground looking for flowers,” Plus herbs and flowers are for she-cats, toms don’t need to pick flowers for fun...or like Bumblebelly, he’s practically a she-cat.” he meowed referring to his father as he picked a dandelion and placed it in his jaw.

Straightening up, Scaleflash turned back to face Sugarpaw. "Here. Head into those tunnels up ahead and see if you can find any prey," she instructed. "I'll come over to join you in a minute, should this supposed badger decide to come after us."

sugarpaw's eyes widened, but nodded, and obeyed her mentor. she tried to walk slowly, and not drag her tail along the ground. the soft tortoiseshell molly stuck her nose in the tunnel, and sneezed. she gave her mentor an apologetic glance, and flattened her ears, heading inside. woah...its so...it smells gross. she wrinkled her nose. hopefully i'll get used to it...

---Scaleflash---
The tabby proceeded cautiously with snuffing delicately at the earth, maw parting to permit for the aromas of the forest to absorb into her nostrils. Eyes narrowing focusedly, she planted a large silver paw into the dirt, teeth gritting. No. Wait, was that...?

Her eyes grew wide with sheer horror. Badger. Yep, that was definitely it: the stench that led into the tunnels,the musky odor of its nearby...

Wait. The tunnels? Uh-oh. Not good. Not good, not good, not good...

"Sugarpaw!" the warrior hollered, a touch of panicked urgency to her voice. '"Get out of there, quick!"

[BEAR.]

"It sounds like she was screwing with you and you fell for it." None of this was real-- and as an experienced older warrior, he knew damn well it wouldn't be viable for actual training.. at least not the way Berryscorch was doing it.

Thistlestep had used the stick to collect a couple more cobwebs from a hole in a tree, and he paused at Blizzardpaw's sexist comment. "What the hell is wrong with you?" he hissed, setting the stick down against a tree root before he whirled on Blizzardpaw. "First, this isn't for fun. Herbs keep cats from dying whether you want to believe that or not. Secondly, gender does not matter. Being a tom in a queen or medicine cat role is just as important as a she-cat being in either role. There is no shame in that and you should not be disrespectful of them or your father."

He actually wanted to hit this fatso. Really, really hard. A few bruises and a black eye would do wonders to knock some damn sense into him.
