Camp BIG TIME GOOD TIME [ memorizing names ]

[DREAMKIT]

(𓆩✧𓆪) sunset tinges the pale sky hues of rose, flame licking up from the sleepy sun where it lurks just above the horizon. a yawn stretches the jaws of the young tom as he plods gently around in a circle just outside the leader's den. within it, he knows, lies a comfortable, welcoming nest, lined to the brim with rabbit hides and feathers of all colors. inside, he reckons, his mother prepares the nest for the night, unless she is meeting with her warriors somewhere inaccessible to the boy. still, he cannot bring himself to turn in for the night, even as his paws ache from too much activity throughout the day. his mind whirrs, the only part of him seemingly awake. names and faces whirl like a storm within his brain.

as his jaw clicks shut after his yawn, rubbery lips press together, murmuring and muttering in a low tone. "graybird... thund-thunderflash? thunderflash. ghoststrike, gentlefire... no gentleflame!" names of his clanmates pour from his mouth as he pads a track in the packed snow. "gentleflame, owlbark, dewshine, scalejaw. what even.. what even is ah scale?" he pauses, tipping his head before dismissing the question and returning to his recitations. "harechaser, rowanpaw, m-m-muh" a yawn interrupts him. "murkyfang."

  a longhaired chocolate spotted tabby with low white and orange eyes. silky chocolate fur cascades in waves across his boxy frame, darker dapples giving him his tabby pelt. creamy white splashes his paws, belly, tail tip, and muzzle, freckling across his face. the hue of a crackling fire sparkles from narrow sockets.

[BURNINGDAWN]

Hues of sunrise laze about ThunderClan's land, painting it quite wondrous. It is a miracle in and of itself, for nature to bless something as bloodstained as "their land", considering its... past. Burningdawn knows guilt is futile. Too many factors, too many moving parts. Surely the conflict had been inevitable. Now, regardless of what he or anyone else may feel, they have to protect this hard-earned peace with tooth and claw.

Literally.

Teeth is what Burningdawn sees first; then those tiny jaws close once more, and more of Dreamkit's face is revealed. Murmuring had alerted Burningdawn, ears twitching as realization had set in. Location: Juniperstar's den. Burningdawn had come to check it out — not that he would be able to do much, if trouble really were afoot again —, but it is just a lonesome prince.

He is mumbling. Burningdawn's head tilts in confusion as he stares down at the kit, unblinking.

"Dreamkit."

Burningdawn assumes his declaration of the kit's name will help, or do literally anything at all. He's not very sure what this is all about. But, well, Dreamkit is Dreamkit, and Burningdawn can offer that at the very least.

Then his own muzzle parts in an enormous yawn. Never underestimate the contagious.

 

[Heartkit]

HEARTKIT OF THUNDERCLAN

Heartkit watched Dreamkit with wide, curious eyes, blinking every so often as she listened intently. Dreamkit was rattling off names, important names, ones she would have to learn too. Gentlefire… no, that wasn't right. Gentleflame. She nodded to herself a few times, pleased to hear Dreamkit correct the name. But then came a question... What was a Scale? Heartkit's ears twitched, and she thought hard. Then, as if struck by a brilliant revelation, she puffed out her chest and declared proudly. " A cat. " Yes! That had to be right. Scalejaw was a cat, so a Scale must be a cat! Satisfied with her own cleverness, she flicked her ears and turned her head toward Burningdawn, a soft purr rumbling in her throat. Mama wasn't too far… She hoped Mama was okay.

" Buhrningdawn. " she repeated, grinning up at said cat before giggling. " Dreamkit knows her name is Dreamkit, silly! " She wriggled her little rump, determined to keep helping Dreamkit on this very important quest. " Palefern! " she chirped, her voice brimming with love for her mother. " An' Hopekit! " She nodded eagerly, then scrunched up her nose in thought. " An'… an'… uhm… Darkplume! An' uh… Cuh… " She tilted her head, tasting the name on her tongue before perking up.

" Copperstorm! "

She beamed, proud of herself, a soft purr escaping her chest.

[Murkyfang]

𓆝 . ° ✦

The kittens make Murkyfang uncomfortable. They're so.. vulnerable, so pure. She was once, too - and perhaps that's why it scares her so. In the wrong paws, their lives could change dramatically for the worst. Perhaps that is, subconsciously, why Murkyfang tends to avoid them; so that her own rot may not infest their innocent hearts, just by.. being.

As the kittens pace around reciting their Clanmates' names, Murkyfang initially ignores them. She prepares to stand and leave, especially as another warrior appears to cheer them on - but as a still-unfamiliar 'M' name is mumbled softly, Murkyfang pauses in her tracks and turns her head back to stare dumbfounded at the kitten who just uttered her name. Murkyfang.

Her mouth twitches. Not quite a frown, but not a smile either - the corners curl up for but a moment before resting back into neutral, and then once again. That Murkyfang was even a concept in the kitten's head, let alone her name remembered and spoken so easily, is a miracle itself; one that intrigues her. It means she is here. It means she is real. It means that she is one of them, recognized by even the smallest of their members. Murkyfang blinks, then hesitantly settles back down, letting her prickly tail rest flicking upon her paws.

"Good,"

is all the praise she can manage, with a curt dip of her head, as now Heartkit joins in memorizing the warriors of the Clan.

[DREAMKIT]

(𓆩✧𓆪) "dreamkit," the tiny tom repeats, coppery eyes glinting up at the mottled warrior. "burnnnnn uhm burninnndawn!" his head tips, awaiting approval. heartkit echoes, and dreamkit flicks his gaze to her, eyes narrowing. "heartkit n' hopekit n' palefern!" three cats the boy knows well - two playmates and a babysitter of sorts. "darkplume mhmmhmm copperstorm yep." his fellow is correct in all things, and he nods to her approvingly. pawsteps sound behind the boy and he turns, recognizing a form he has named. the cool striped form of murkyfang watches him and he will offer her a tentative smile. good, she tells him, and dreamkit beams. "murkyfang!" he repeats, as if the sounding of her name will trigger more praise.

another yawn escapes his white frosted maw and the boy twitches tall ears, desperate to keep awake. "serpentberry's the medicine cat," he tells heartkit. "'n my mom's leaderrrr,, juniperstar." little legs crumple beneath the kit's form as he seats himself, stretching his muscles. "and magpiekit and asterkit and littlekit." copper eyes flick to the stars, where he knows his sibling is watching. "who else... there's more, i know there is!"

[serpentberry]

"Thank the heavens," she chirps as she joins the two kittens and their crowd. She had been apart from it, bothering with a particular cowlick atop @thistlekit 's crown - but listening nonetheless. When she had finally got it tamed, she waited and waited for the little tom to remember her. For it to be in the third round of miscellaneous names is still hurtful. She expresses as much, for who is Serpentberry if not a woman who's ego is so easily wounded? "I almost thought you forgot about me, Dreamkit!" Her tail draws around her torso as she joins the group more officially.

"Well... There are the other kits -" calling her little the other kits is something she is unhappy with, but she will not put that on the child, surprisingly. "Can you name all three from my litter, Dreamkit? Or..." she sways back and forth, "How about any more apprentices?" She motions for him to try, almost too eager to hammer in the entire Clan's population to his mind. Still, she retreats if only slightly, offering a gentle, "It's okay if you can't, little one. The Clan is plentiful with strong souls."

 

[DREAMKIT]

(𓆩✧𓆪) "serpy!" the small boy twirls on his paws to spot his aunt as she sidles up. "i would never forget about you, don't.. don't even worry!" he nods vigorously, little tail thwapping against the earth. "i jus.. um i just know you already is all." eyes bright, he explains. "and i don't know some of the others," this in a loud stage whisper, glancing about anxiously. "of course i know your kits, silly! thistlekit, n rattlekit, n leafkit!" he grins up at her, flicking his ears. "umm and apprentices... rowanpaw!" amber eyes glow in thought. "trufflepaw too. bearpaw, rampaw," he hums. "why're they all 'paw'? i wonder why not foot or claw eehe."

"serpy, are all medicine cats 'berry'? like how um like how mom is 'star'?" swinging his head, dreamkit glances at burningdawn and murkyfang. "how come warriors have different names?" he's sure his aunt will know the answers to these questions - she's probably the smartest cat in the clan besides juniperstar.

[Heartkit]

HEARTKIT OF THUNDERCLAN

A happy little purr rumbled from the young kit as she trotted over to Dreamkit, her tail sticking straight up in excitement. She listened intently, wide-eyed, nodding eagerly every now and then. She knew those names! Yes, yes, there were so many names! But as Dreamkit spoke, she found herself more fascinated by something else.

His eyes.

Had anyone told him how pretty they were? Maybe she should--

But before she could, Serpentberry appeared, drawing her attention upward with a blink. Another purr bubbled up from her as she greeted the older cat. Oh! More names! Maybe she could help Dreamkit with that! But before she could even get a word in, the conversation shifted. Why were they all called paws? And... And were all medicine cats named berry? She wiggled excitedly on the spot, gaze locked on Dreamkit for a long, long moment. Then, as if she simply couldn't hold it in any longer, she blurted out:

" You have really pretty eyes, Dreamkit! "

She nodded firmly, as if to emphasize her words, before turning her attention back to Serpentberry, wiggling again in anticipation. She, too, wanted to hear the answers to Dreamkit's questions!
