Hey! One of my first posts; so I’m up for suggestions and tips. Thanks!!
Eucalyptuspaw; H/H. A light brown Tom with soft green eyes and white paws.
Eucalyptuspaw sighed burying his nose into his paws and curling up deeper into his messy heap of moss. He was so lonely.. he knew he was socially awkward but no cat at all would play with him when he was a kit.. and still had no friends 3 moons into his apprenticeship. He looked around hopefully at the other apprentices talking to one another in the den looking for some cat.. ANY cat, to atleast acknowledge his existence. He wished with all his body, mind and heart that his would have been brother hadn’t died so soon into kithood, and after his popular littermate died of that horrid sickness it seemed no one would talk to him anymore.
Will any cat talk to Eucalyptuspaw? Or maybe he’ll be bullied??…..
Open!!!
Thanks for listening to me embarrassing myself with my horrible writing.. bye!
She/her - 68 moons

A long shadow was momentarily cast over the inside of the den as the massive warrior entered. She didn't usually go inside this den -- it had not hosted her nest for years now -- and even when searching for her own apprentices she usually just called for them outside. But today she had a reason to step inside, and she dropped a well-wrapped bundle of moss, gathered and composed with the skill of someone who had been doing these kinds of small tasks around camp as long as she could remember. Yes, apprentices were generally expected to bring in fresh moss and look after the up-keep of their nest on their own, but considering that they were not allowed outside alone, she occasionally took some time to go and gather some moss herself and place it here for the convenience of whatever young cat decided to change their bedding.
But something caught her eye. A small, rolled-up bun of light brown and white in the corner. Now, Hawkcatcher had never been the social type. That, to simply walk up to someone and talk to them, was her sister's skill, never hers. But she was a mentor, and to her, it was not only to her assigned apprentices.
The tip of her brown tail reached out to brush against the shoulder of the apprentice as she placed the moss in front of them. "That's hardly how you make a nest." What a warm greeting. But this was her usual way to going about her social interactions, to make them into something practical and tied to a task.

Eucalyptuspaw looked up at the large she cat, surprise and uncertainty showing in his eyes. “I dunno..” he mumbled self consciously, “no cat ever really bothered to tell me how.” He shrugged and sunk back into the small heap of moss. Though he didn’t show it, he was happy that the older warrior generally had concern and care in her expression and tone. He tried to give a whole heartedly smile, but diddnt think the she was convinced.

Re: ThunderClan Apprentices' Den
The young tom, sitting on his hind legs, began licking his speckled and white chest fur, making sure he was careful in how he proposed his little game. He didn't want to give too much away and get into trouble, but he also couldn't help but gloat. What he was doing wasn't right, but if it meant a little extra training and exploring, he wasn't the one to shy away from breaking the rules. Creepingpaw proudly lifted his head and smirked, his slender and lean frame shaded under the shadows of the den, "I've been sneaking out of camp at night..." He purred, his deep green eyes glinting with excitement from his confession, "So why don't we play a fun game tonight? At Smallpines?"
(Please let me know if I'm power-playing too much... Sorry, haven't RP'd in a long time and love playing the problematic characters LOL the little punk can come up with another game that's in the camp.)
Raggedear purred as Ivypaw tumbled out of den, clearly eager to start her training. ”Alright, Ivypaw. Since you’re so excited, why don’t you pick the first area you want to explore? We won’t get through the whole territory in one day.” He warned, but his gaze was warm. ”Or if you’d rather, I can try teaching you a hunter’s crouch today?”

Ivypaw hesitated. So many choices. where would she go first? "I think I heard about a place where there are lots of fireflies every night. can we go there first?" She asked. Her tail twitched in excitement- she was going to see the forest! She couldn't wait.
(I'm soooooo sorry for the late - and short - reply! I haven't been online in two weeks, life has been hectic. Sorry!)

For a moment the massive warrior remained silent, amber eyes calmly studying the 'paw before sitting down. A large forntpaw reached out to nudge his shoulder again, telling him to move before she bent down to unmake the bundle of moss. "You start by gathering up all of the clean moss you already have --if anything has become dirty or dusty you can bring it outside-- and gathering it in a pile that's large enough to lie down on. Add some more clean moss if needed." She spoke she followed her own instructions, but also signalled for the apprentice to copy what she did. Helping was always good but teaching them how to do it themselves would help more in the long run. mentions

Eucalyptuspaw, white brown Tom with soft green eyes and white paws.
Eucalyptuspaw’s ears pricked up, and he rose, following the older warriors actions. He scooped out the dirty moss that used to be stuck to the peeling bark of a tree, and deposited it outside to get rid of later. He shaped his nest a bit better, more round and flat then last time, when he had just plodded his big bundle down on the floor and half heartedly called it a day. He enjoyed the silent company of the large she, and didn’t really want it to end. But in what it seemed like barely moments, the small nest was finished, looking surprisingly neat and comfortable. He nodded a warm, sincere thanks to the kind warrior, and left the den after her, in sought of scouting out for some cute feathers or shells to decorate his space, before he was rushed off on a patrol. Feeling much brighter and more hopeful for the future, he wandered off into the forest.

The 'paw did as she showed him, and Hawkcatcher gave a little nod before continuing her explanation. "Then you shape the moss into a comfortable, round shape. You have to pack parts of it tighter in order to keep your nest together, but this area-" she motioned towards where the apprentice would be sleeping "-can be left softer. Unless you prefer a slightly harder surface to sleep on, I suppose."
They were all finished and the light brown apprentice stood up to get back to their other things. "It's pretty easy to find me around camp if there is anything else you're wondering about." Hawkcatcher wasn't sure how that slipped out, but she had always seen it her responsibility to look after the young of Thunderclan.
Oh well, back to her usual tasks around camp.
Thanks for the RP!

Ravenpaw was sitting toward the exit of the apprentice den, kind of just staring.
Was it boredom, waiting?
Who knows.
Really, she was just thinking.
Maybe ways to help the clan.
What's the biggest kind of prey?
Maybe she can drag some of that.

COPPERPAW
He was finally here. The young apprentice wanted more than anything to explore the great lands of Thunderclan that his mother had told him so much about, but instead he had been instructed to rest. No matter, he would just start with the apprentice den!
The tabby tom strutted in, bright blue eyes scanning the den curiously. It was amazing. So many nests!! He sniffed each one, trying to familiarize himself with the scent of his clanmates. Nose to the ground, he didn't notice that one of the nests still had an apprentice in it until his muzzle was buried in the other cat's tail.
"Ack!" he jumped back, rubbing his nose with a paw. "Sorry," he said sheepishly. Wonderful. What a wonderful first impression to make on his first potential friend in the clan. The former outsider attempted to regain his composure, licking his chest fluff in a not-so-subtle manner.
