Twilightstar listened to Ash's story with a faint scowl. His story didn't sound that different from many cats that showed up from the outskirts, although she'd like to know where the kit's parents were. "I'm surprised you know of the clans." She commented noting how loud his stomach was grumbling.

"Well, since you've already been brought here, so long as you don't cause any trouble and no wandering outside of camp, I"ll allow you to join WindClan. You'll be renamed Ashkit and remain in WindClan's nursery. Willowpaw, take Ashkit to Leopardsong in the nursery, and bring some small prey for Ashkit to eat."

@Rustleaf [Willowpaw] @TheRedWyvern [Ash] [Go ahead and submit him. So though he was accepted this time, next time please go through the process of joining here. It's easier to keep track of joinings that way. Or inform me that you're having your outsider picked up and brought in by another clan cat.]

Dreamlight
She was back at it again, the scarred feline was taking tentative steps around the clearing. Today, she was trying to familiarize herself with the way the nursery and the elders' den. She had gotten used to the strange sense of being unbalanced in the dark a while ago. Her steps were more confident and sure and she was getting better at using her nose.

Consistent darkness was a never-ending battle. There were nights Dreamlight dreamed in such vivid detail that when she woke she was confused, forgetting for a fraction of a second that her sight was gone. For the minutes that followed she felt the grief all over, the loss of things she never even considered missing. She'd never been one to dwell on flowers, the shape of a tree, or passing clouds. Oh, how she had taken her sight for granted.

But there was no point in dwelling on something she couldn't change. Back to her training. She's discovered that so long as cats weren't walking at her, she could pinpoint their locations by their scents which was easier than trying to lock on to their paw steps. She was getting better at locking in names and scents, faces were more of a blur to her these days. She'd tried to recall exactly how a cat looked and get their features mixed up with someone else's.

She was sure she'd forget exactly what Twilightstar and Leechscar looked like in due time. She had been doing her darndest to remember Ashfeather's exact features but hadn't been spending as much time with Twistedpaw as she would have if she was feeling up to it. But mixing Dreamlight's frequent depression with Twistedpaw's anxieties was a mess waiting to happen.

The lilac-gray she-cat must have been very lost in thought cause her nose bumped into something solid but furry. She jerked back as if bitten and pinned her ears back. "Sorry sorry," she repeated anxiously. "I wasn't paying attention."

Maybe she should avoid the nursery for now. One of the queens would claw her ears if she accidentally stepped on their kits. Dreamlight was rather petite herself with some extra fluff but she could still do some damage to a poor kit.

Willowpaw nodded to Twilightstar and turned to Ashkit.
“Come with me,” she mewed, “I’m going to take you to Leopardsong in the nursery.” Willowpaw started walking, beckoning to Ashkit to follow her.

@TheRedWyvern (this will continue in the WindClan Nursery)

The kit answered her comment. “I asked a few questions to Willowpaw, that’s how I know.”

Ash—now named Ashkit— didn’t expect that. His face was expressionless. Not knowing what to say, he asked the first question that came to his mind. “What’s the nursery?” He asked.
His mind wasn’t concentrated on the response he got. He was still trying to understand what would happen now that he was in the clan. Maybe he should concentrate on that later. For now he would listen to Willowpaw and Twilightstar.

{ @Rustleaf || @Moonraven - noted! I’ll do that next time }

MAGGOTKIT . 4 MOONS . IT/ITS . WINDCLAN

Mild, lovely weather and a nice clear sky...Maggotkit's out soaking up sunlight in the clearing, of course. It's been sprawled out on its back for ages, now, toasting its belly in the sunshine and occasionally twitching in response to whatever dreams occupy the little cat's mind.

Maggotkit could stay just like this for hours more if left to it, but it won't get the chance. A sizable grasshopper, surfing grass blade to grass blade, evidently misses a landing and plonks down onto the sleeping kitten's belly. Maggotkit has the reasonable reaction (jolting, twisting, and yelping in surprise) and a few moments of sleepy confusion before it spies its assailant hopping away.

No, no. That won't fly. Justice must be served.

Maggotkit chases the grasshopper around, smacking at it angrily any time it gets within reach. Take that, and that.

open !

(Houndhop, WC warrior, he/him)

Houndhop, who was enjoying the sun noticed little Maggotkit playing about with a grasshopper. “Maggotkit,.what ya doing?!" He called out.

MAGGOTKIT . 4 MOONS . IT/ITS . WINDCLAN

"Payback," Maggotkit explains, tamping a paw down to keep the grasshopper from escaping while it looks up at Houndhop. It's got on the most serious expression it can muster right now. "It bit me."

The grasshopper did no such thing, mind; Maggotkit only thinks that because of how hard the bug had landed on it. And, oh, is Maggotkit going to seethe and mope over that! How dare this little bug go around biting sweet, sleepy kittens! What gives!!

Maggotkit jumps in surprise, feeling the grasshopper squirm under its foot. Looks like the little criminal still has some life in it. With a hasty paw-flick, Maggotkit knocks the bug toward Houndhop and turns big, pleading eyes up at the warrior. That bitter mood from before it nowhere to be seen; suddenly it's all exaggerated doe eyes and pouty whiskers.

"Oh no! It's gonna get you. You have to eat it...you have to...!" Maggotkit pleads theatrically, fully hamming it up. It's...really just interested in seeing if it can make a warrior eat a bug. Two birds in one swipe: Maggotkit gets to see something cool, and that awful grasshopper dies for good.

@HerbalTea ; HOUNDHOP

Houndhop questioned the kit. “Payback, what do you mean?? Ah, bites are the worst, aren't they?" before lifting up one of his brown frontpaws to squish the little insect. “There, better?"
