Violetfreckle was grumpy. It seemed like she couldn't sit anywhere outside without sitting on a pile of cold snow. Even the well-worn paths of the camp were becoming more packed snow than dirt. This certainly wouldn't do, nope. With a grunt, she made her way out of the warriors den and investigated one of the more well-worn areas. She bapped it with a paw, instantly feeling regret when the ice only barely cracked under pressure and her paw came back stinging. Flattening her ears, the molly thought in silence for a moment. Before perking up and scampering off to find a decent sized rock. Aha!
Carrying the rock in her mouth, she dropped it down on the ice with a mighty thud, and.... well, it didn't break, but it cracked! After a few more attempts, the hard layer of ice shattered a bit, allowing Violetfreckle to see the dirt beneath. Ahhh, she was so close. With a hole started, she began to use her paws to get rid of the ice little by little. It didn't take long for her pawpads to become numb, and she was forced to quit. However, she'd gotten rid of a decent chunk of the ice by the entrance and fresh-kill piles. Hopefully it proved to be less of a slipping hazard than the rest of the camp.
Everything was going perfectly according to plan until this FAT CAT FELL ON HIM.
Elkkit shrieked as the weight of a mountain collapsed right on top of him and pinned him to the ground that HE was supposed to be ruling. "NO!!" he howled. "YOU'RE SO HEAVY, GET OFFA ME!!! RUDE!!!!DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!"
Wiggling violently underneath her, he turned and batted at whatever he could reach. Off off OFF!

@Micanomancy @dino.
Drizzlenight was just trying to get some sleep. With a sleep schedule that had been as erratic as it had been as of late, taking any opportunity possible to get some shut-eye was more than necessary. He was just dozing off when some child started shrieking in the clearing.
He sighed.
It didn't sound like any sort of calamity was happening, so the kit's shrieking didn't light any kind of fire under his paws. Still, it had proven to be entirely effective at waking him up.
Drizzlenight remained in his nest for several moments after, hoping that if he just kept his eyes shut he could drift into slumber. Peace did not come, however, and after a bit of trying he gave up with a huff.
Hauling himself up, the black and white-flecked warrior padded out of the nursery. A quick scan of the clearing seemed to show him the source of the annoyance. A bit of concern flashed through him at the sight of an adult cat sitting on top of a kit; perhaps he had misjudged this situation?
Hurrying over towards the pair - he identified them as Fernwillow and Elkkit as he did - he wondered what had happened. Was Fernwillow really so clumsy and careless as to just fall on top of a kit? Who did that?
Reaching out, Drizzlenight grasped Fernwillow's scruff in his jaws and moved backward in an attempt to pull the warrior off of the child. He was successful; as soon as the kit had been freed, Drizzlenight released his Clanmate.
"You okay, kid?" he asked, hoping Fernwillow's big ass hadn't caused any sort of harm.

Fernwillow yawned as Elkkit wailed for his father, snickering as he was taught the most valuable of lessons: always move out of the way if a cat is falling on you. Duh. She smirked towards Eggbite as the cat called out to her. "Yeah, it's feelin' real talkative right now! I'm thinking I'll let it tire itself out before I gobble it up like a fox!" She directed the last bit to Elkkit, baring her sharp teeth before giggling. "I bet you taste delicious!"
Unfortunately for our big bad villain, our strong DrizzleKNIGHT in shining armor came to poor Elkkit's rescue. He hauled the smaller warrior of the kit, the tabby yelping in surprise as she was manhandled. She glared up at the interrupter, then rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Oh great, YOU. Come to miss more frozen mossball throws?" She teased light-heartedly, pushing herself to her paws and shaking herself out. "You're interrupting meal time~" She wiggled her haunches as though she was about to pounce on Elkkit, but just laughed and straightened.

Re: ThunderClan Clearing
Leopardkit laughed loudly as his sister tumbled in the snow and began to bat at his ear. The bengal crouched down into a playful position, then rolled in the snow like a fool. "What were you even doing before I came here? You were just sitting there! Boooooring!" He exclaimed expressively.
Even with the chill in the air freezing her to her core, her lips curled upwards into an amused smile at the sight of Mudhound prancing about, nipping at the air as if the snowflakes were prey themselves. Oh! Would you look at that, they’ve noticed her. Offering them a big, toothy grin, she waved her tail in greeting as well. “Mhm, the snow sure is nice–cold, but pretty to look at.”
“Ah,” Drizzlecloud paused for a moment to chuckle at Mudbud’s astute observation. “Suppose I’m a little bit cold… I wanted some fresh air, though. My den was getting to be a little overwhelming for me, so I decided to brave the cold.”
[ @Rani sorry for how long this took! I’ve been really stressed. ]

''Drizzlecloud? Wolfpaw?'' Larkswoop called out to the two cats.
Oh, wait. Drizzlecloud couldn't hear her. Larkswoop gestured towards the medicine den with her tail while looking at Silverpaw.
''Go fetch Drizzlecloud from her den, if she's there. If she's not yet Springpaw is, then bring Springpaw instead.''
Larkswoop's hind leg looked.....crooked, to say the least. The warrior knew it was broken and that she should stay off of it, but she needed Drizzlecloud or Springpaw to look at it first.

Aww poor Drizzle! Mudhound was pretty cold resistant to begin with and after all that running they were downright warm but they knew all about the cold and did not like it. The tripods fluffy face crinkled in understanding and frustration on Drizzleclouds behalf as they leaned down and lightly bumped their heads together sympathetically.
Drizzlecloud deserved to be out and about but warm! It wasnt fair! For a moment Mudhound stood, tail flicking behind them as they considered the situation before beaming and chirping out a "OOOH! I can fix this! Mudhound to the rescue!" before proceeding to..... Well..... Sit on the medicine cat.
NOT IN A BAD OR PAINFUL WAY! No, Mudhound more of attempted to use themselves as a blanket, shifting to kind of drape themselves over top of the smaller cat using their fluffy fur and lingering fatty plushness to cushion any pokey bones until they existed as a furry breathing cat blanket. The tripod didnt go dead weight, knowing they'd basically squash Drizzlecloud if they did so but cuddled up close letting their warmth create a toasty little sitting space to watch the clearing from under their belly for their friend.
And Mudhound was really warm. The maine coon mix was already well insulated and a natural heater but after running around on top of that they were venting warmth to the point where snowflakes were melting on their bare scar patches.
So it was probably really awkward and silly looking but downright comfortable within and settled in Mudhound ducked their head down to look at the brooder-henned medicine cat they'd subjected to this and asked "Is that better? You can stay as long as you like! I wasnt planning on doing much today and here you can be outside and get fresh air without being cold!" At the sacrifice of your dignity and personal space.

•° Timberkit °• Dreamwalker • Flock Together I • Kitty Softpaws
The little calico kit was currently entertaining herself by scampering under other cats paws, dodging and weaving before jumping into snow piles! The snow was big and she was small, which meant she could bury herself in the cold powdery pile and wait. And listen. And watch. Before ultimately jumping out and starting the whole cycle again!
This time, as she jumped out of a pile of snow, though, she let out he tiniest of sneezes and began to realize she was a bit chilly. She also realized that she'd jumped out at a big, kiiiinda scary-lookin' guy. Timberkit leapt backwards with a tiny mrrp! She blinked at him once, then twice, then sat down. "Whatcha doin'?"
Grovekit padded up to the fresh-kill pile to find something to eat. It was surprisingly plentiful considering it was the middle of leafbare, but Grovekit wasn't old enough to know any different. She sniffed at a thrush, then considered a small robin. She wasn't too much a fan of feathers. She moved it aside, then drew back in surprise as her nose touched on something icy cold.
Below the robin was a skinny mouse that was practically frozen solid. I wonder if it can still be eaten, Grovekit thought to herself. With a shrug, she picked up a shrew in her little jaws instead, and turned to move elsewhere. It wasn't her business.
