July Gathering

[vellichor]

Beanpaw had been looking ahead, trying to calm his nerves. It was just a Gathering.... nothing to worry about.... he’d be home in— oof! He toppled over from an impact at his side. Suddenly, he was on the ground, and surprise froze him for a few moments. Until he scrambled back up to see... oh. It was a cat. Uh, wait. He couldn’t tell their scent. Rats. "Uh, sorry," he apologized right as they did. The siamese felt his face heat up with embarrassment.

Then, another cat approached. They didn’t bump into him, but the newly introduced Stempaw seemed a lot less nervous than himself and the one who bumped into him. "I-uhm, Beanpaw." he said, aware of his stuttering and blubbering. He had already made two terrible first impressions.

He blinked, his greeting seeming to startle her, and he gave a light chuckle. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he said. "Probably wasn't the wisest idea to sneak up on a cat I haven't spoken to yet. I'm Asterpaw, and you're... Yewpaw, right?" His eyes sparkled with slight amusement as he said her name. He hadn't made jokes with anyone in quite a while, and this opportunity was just staring him in the face.

Yewpaw
__________

She gave a small nod, not returning the lighthearted laugh, "I'm just... kind of jumpy. I wasn't expecting anyone to want to talk to me." Yewpaw shrugged. Not that she wanted to talk to someone, anyway. Everything just seemed to go smoother when she kept to herself, "But yeah, Yewpaw." There seemed to be something just on the tip of his tongue and it made her nervous wondering what he was going to say, "Did you... want something, or...?"

"Well if I'm a fry and you're a frog then you might hop better in the mud but I got you beat in any swimming!" she chuckled at the other apprentice before sticking out her tongue playfully "And you're wrong about marshes! Toads and frogs are nothing on the awesome prey in the rivers! Trout and carp and tons of other fish, then there are the cool birds that taste great! Then again we do have one of the worst animals of all in our territory..." Her expression soured and her ears lay flat in fear just thinking about it. "That awful evil creature that can take your toes off with ease, armored so heavily that claws can't hurt it, so strange it looks like it doesn't belong in this world..." Willowpaw got lost in thought thinking about it. Her mentor may say its fine but if Willowpaw could get to be a warrior without ever touching one she'd be a happy cat because, quite frankly, she'd rather fight a badger.

Frogpaw
__________

Frogpaw faked a wounded gasp, dramatically placing a paw on her chest, "Are you implying... I'm not awesome? How dare you!" She teased before letting out a laugh. Going into this, she had intended to try and trick Willowpaw into pulling a prank or doing something that would get her in trouble but talking to the RiverClanner was actually quite enjoyable - not that she would admit it. As Willowpaw continued, however, she began to look more and more perplexed as to what she could possibly be describing. Armored...? "Do you mean turtles?" she broke in, "We get those in the marshes sometimes. There's some that have like, bright underbellies but sometimes we get bigger ones! Those ones are all snappy. Bet they could bite your paw off if they wanted to."

“So help me, little bug, if you put beetles in my mouth I will bring you up to Twiggy and then kick you off the rock.”

Rushingmoor glared sternly down at the apprentice- he was not playing around with this. No bugs. He needed to talk to Twig about getting some kind of compensation for the emotional trauma of being threatened with bugs. And then Stag went on about him being his dad again! What was that about? It was cute sure but he did know that Rushingmoor wasn’t his dad, right?

Before Rushingmoor could say or do anything, Stagpaw was onto the next topic and Mushy had to roll his eyes a little at the question of kidnapping Curlpaw. Kidnapping Twi and snatching a Riverclan apprentice were two very different things and he opened his mouth to gently tell Stag to enjoy the gathering and then let Curlpaw go home when Stag... Yelled to Twilight!!

Quickly, Rushingmoor slapped his tail over Stagpaw’s mouth and glared at him.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

Throwing his eyes up to Twilight on the rock, he called out without thinking,

“I did no such thing!”

Rushingmoor then directed his attention back down to Stagpaw with a glare. This cat was cruising to get yeeted off the stone.

Great, now there was a witness to her clumsiness too! Iciclepaw was about ready to start shaking and she stutterer out a quiet apology again after her first one, which had been at the same time as the other cat’s. Why was he apologizing? She was the one who’d walked into him.

So the two cats were Stempaw and Beanpaw. Iciclepaw guessed that she should introduce herself too and murmured,

“I-I’m Iciclepaw.”

-Creekpaw-

Sadly, before Creekpaw could even get a greeting in, another cat who smelled like she was from RiverClan, came over. Hiding behind him? The older apprentice could only help but look annoyed with pinned back ears. If she wanted to ignore him, he'd ignore her.
Ignoring Ripplepaw, he gave Doepaw a smile, even though he knew she couldn't see it. "I'm Creekpaw." He face though scowled as Icestar continued the announcements. Mountainmist had joined ShadowClan. Yep, he knew that but, he still felt betrayed. Though, he did recognize that Doepaw had joined ShadowClan. "I hope ShadowClan is working well for you?" And Mountainmist. He scowled at the thought that Mountainmist was perfectly happy in ShadowClan... without him.

"I heard that!" Stealthpaw called, half annoyed half amused

[skreelyshark]

"Oh hi Stealthpaw." He glanced at Splashfury before turning to his apprentice "Do you mind if Splashfury accompanies our training sessions? She can help out so you can speed up your progress!"
@StealthWarrior @Elementals

[StealthWarrior]

"Yes! I want to be the best warrior in Riverclan!" Stealthpaw yowled, "And I will work for it." she added under her breath @esa @Elementals

Sparrowsnap
__________

The mottled warrior's body snapped back in a grimace of disgust. "Strange. I would have expected for you two out of all toms to know that cats can change. But no. Instead you two sickening ratheads decided to recommend the idea of absolute abortion solely because of something I did moons ago back as a snobby apprentice." Sparrowsnap drew herself upright before she proceeded on. "I apologized with truth for your pleasure, Goosefury. In fact, I could make the choice to actually emphasize your butthurt words and rid myself of my own babies simply for something that happened to you that cannot be reversed."

Rosepaw’s ears twitched at the silly mispronunciation. “If only,” she sighed. “She’s so awful and ugly and deformed, you’d get sick.” She scanned the clearing, searching for her, until at last she saw the deformed shape.
“She’s there,” Rosepaw hissed.

"I know." he purred. "We'll work on some battle techniques tomorrow."
