ShadowClan Nursery

[poppy]

Flowerkit

The calico hopped a few inches away from Larkfire, so she'd have room to try to crouch, and lowered herself down, stumbling as she lost her balance slightly, the three-legged kit huffed in frustration and tried to lean to the side a bit. That helped slightly, but the crouch still felt awkward. Her belly brushed the ground, and she looked up at Larkfire with a small, hopeful smile.

Lostkit woke up. The world was cold for some reason, despite it being- soomer? Yes, Soomer.

"Very Soomer!" Lostkit yowled. Not checking her voice. "SOMMER! SOMMER! SOMMER!" She started yelling the word "Sommer" over and over again. This went on for a minute. When she finally stopped, Lostkit started trying to rip off her back. She was rolling over and mewing like an injured kit.

When she tore off some skin, she started eating her paws. "AI AI AI AIA AAIAIAIAIIAIAI!!!!!!!" She started screaming and having a twitching fit. Trying to tear her paws, (Also falling over whenever she stood up)

During her fit, she twitched a bit too much and she flopped over. She started chasing her tail like a dog.

She finished the fit by licking her paws for a while.

Open!

Silverpaw

Task two, okay, clean out dens seems like really the only one I can do right now, alright. Approaching the nursery, Silverpaw saw a kit doing something kinda creepy. Gently walking over, she stuck her face in front of them.
“Hey are you okay, what’s wrong?”

Larkfire
She/Her

At least this time, Larkfire was satisfied with her class. They were all participating, and both Nightkit and Fernkit had wasted no time in coming over. She was glad for it. They were showing that they could be responsible enough to attend her classes.

It wasn't long before all four kits had dropped into hunting crouches, ranging from amicable to... questionable at best.

"Fernkit." She started, turning to the tom. After a moment of watching him and his stance, the younger Enforcer nodded. "Good." It wasn't often kits got the hunter's crouch mostly correct in their first try, but watching Fernkit now - Larkfire could only assume someone had been training him before today.

Swiveling to look at Nightkit, Larkfire tipped her head to the side. "Paws in, lean back." she instructed, moving forward to right his position. "You need to keep your center of balance, otherwise you'll go crashing and scare off all the prey in the area."

Inclining her head, the lithe dame blinked next at the cashmere bengal before her. Rufflekit was practically a ball of fluff with all that fur sticking out everywhere, but Larkfire could already see that one day he'd grow into a toughened warrior, like Shadowfur or Darkfall, wherever the hell those two were. Good for him. But only if he learned to master his skills. "Tail up, but not so high that the enemy or prey will see it." Larkfire corrected, her own slim tail flicking forward as she attempted to fix his stance. "Since you have longer fur, I wouldn't suggest getting that close to the ground. It'll drag, and then give you away."

Lastly, there was Flowerkit to attend to. It pained Larkfire to look down at her... sister? Larkfire wasn't sure what Flowerkit was anymore. Dappledleaf wasn't Lark's mother anymore, it was Dawnstar. And yet still, she couldn't entirely cut off her ties with all of Dappledleaf's family. There were such cases as this, like Flowerkit, Sagepaw, and.. Daypaw. "Don't lower yourself so much to the ground." The youngest enforcer said eventually, swallowing down the knot of emotions in her throat. All she wanted was to return Flowerkit's smile, to assure the kitten that... there were cats there for her. But call it selfishness, that Larkfire couldn't do it. She didn't want another cat tying her down, didn't want Flowerkit even more hurt if something happened to Lark. So then, gaze shuttering, Larkfire turned back, addressing all her pupils.

"Since this is a class that teaches you to be stealthy, all four of you need to learn how to exhibit the basic hunter's crouch. Whether you're sneaking up on prey or on an enemy, you have to - in every sense of the word - be quiet. As quiet as a mouse, if that helps you envision it better. Always stay upwind of whatever you're sneaking up on. If it smells you before you can get into position, there's no chance of catching anything."

Fernkit gave a big smile. "Really!? It's my first time trying it! I'm glad I did good!" he purred softly, his enthusiasm giving away in his shaking tail as he sat back down. Watching Nightkit as he followed the Enforcer he swiped his adoptive brothers tail as said. "Stop flinging it around! You look like a blue bell compared to the rest of us." he teased softly. Nightkit finally got it the best he could, it was decent. Fernkit gave a mrrow of encouragement to his brother as he sat up. "Stealth? Are we named Shadowclan because of that?" he asked.
Nightkit looked at the enforcer and whispered. "My pelt is all black so I should be fine, but Fernkit has large and bright green eyes as well as a bright orange pelt with only small bits of black. So does that mean Fernkit will have to use his surroundings and maybe hide behind trees and bracken more that grass and bushes?"he asked shyly as his tail swept around his brothers shoulders and then to the ground

LOSTKIT
1 moon-old she-cat kit with Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome

Lostkit was licking her paw for about 1 minute until a strange cat poked their head in her face. Lostkits skin began to ripple as she yowled very loudly. She began running in circles and yowling loudly.

(Just to let you know, Lostkit will have about 4-5 episodes of Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome daily. As long as it doesn't go on for about more than 3 mins, it's not something to bring up with the medicine cat)

Silverpaw

Watching the odd kit, she wondered if this was the one she had heard mentions of, the one with what was it, Hypersense or whatever, but she was super sensitive to physical things.
“Uh, sorry, uh, please stop, I am just here to clean out the nests, please don’t die”

(Alright, Silver is kinda freaking out lol)

[Spookez.]

LOSTKIT

Lostkit started to calm down. When she was finished, she looked up at the cat who confronted her.

"Soomer?" She titled her head.

@Silvershadow13

Silverpaw

Head tilted in confusion, the dots connected, speaking quieter
“Soomer? You must mean Summer, Yes, it’s almost Summer, or do you mean a cat named Summer?”

[Spookez.]

LOSTKIT
1 moon old

Lostkit didn't understand anything other than the word Soomer. But she could understand the tone, soft and quiet. She liked that. "Sommer" She replied in a soft tone.

Cloverkit
Shadowclan | Kit | He/Him | 1 moon
a brown tabby with green eyes, white paws and nose blaze
════════ ════════ ════════ ════════ ════════ ════════ ════════

Cloverkit mewed softly as he nodded off. "Clove..." He repeated in a sleepy whisper. His mind and body were too exhausted from the stressful day to register exactly what was being said. Perhaps when he awoke, he would learn to appreciate the affectionate nickname, but for now, he was dead tired.

(Yeah let's end this here, I don't think there's much more to add~)
