PAFP Camp DROPS IN THE RIVER [kit game]

[pricklepaw]

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 The nursery is loud loud loud today, making it a poor environment for Pricklekit to sleep in. They've given up on their attempted naptime, a bit disgruntled at first when they trudge out of the nursery, but their eyes settle on a familiar figure and the kit perks up just a bit. Green eyes brighten beneath tangled fur, and they bound over to greet their chosen clanmate with a toothy grin. "Jasperkit, I wanna play a game," they announce to the other kit, hoping that he'll agree to play along with them.

"It's called… beetle ball! Y'know how to play?" They don't wait for Jasperkit to answer, instead barrelling ahead into an explanation of their personal spin on the classic kit game. "It's like mossball, but… with a beetle, an' you've gotta keep it inside this big square," they say, already dragging a paw through the dirt to outline a section of the ground. After doing so they bat at the beetle shell with a paw, sending it rolling in Jasperkit's direction. Then the kit adopts a tense, coiled stance, ready to spring in any direction to receive the return toss of the shell. "Y'wanna start? Just hit it to me!"

JASPERKIT ⭑✶⋆.˚ TITLE

meow

Jasperkit didn't like taking naps. Naps were boring- and he had a WHOLE WORLD at his paw tips. Even now, he held out his paw, stretching his toes before him as he squinted a deep purple and orange gaze over the river surrounding camp. If he squinted hard enough, he thought he could see a patrol moving away from camp that recently left. Or perhaps it was bushes? He wasn't certain. Either way.... He imagining being Jasperpaw- he imagined moving with the patrol, with Wavesong as his mentor- or... Or... Galerunner. Perhaps even Pikestar himself!

But Jasperkits thoughts were interrupted as a body came barreling out of the nursery, white teeth flashing into a grin that matched his denmate. "A game? Yes yes!" He eagerly agreed, before even knowing what game. Any game could be fun, he had decided quickly. Playing by himself wasn't. Not as fun at least.

Beetleball.... He had never heard of it, but as Pricklekit outlined the arena, Jasperkit felt the competitiveness in his bones. He flexed a paw gently over the shell of the beetle as he caught it, before sending it back towards the crouched form and hopping side to side in excitement. "What happens if it gets out?" He asked, flopping his head to the side, before quickly shaking his head to squint mismatched eyes at the shell. He couldn't lose focus! Not now!

[Strawberrykit]

She's got her head up in the clouds
Don't know if she'll come down
She can't go to bed
She's got the song stuck in her head

.

Strawberrykit blundered forward, trying not to trip over her own paws as she skidded to her sibling's side and let out a sharp gasp. " I want to play too! " she called, her voice teetering between indignation and excitement. How dare they start a game without her? Obviously, she had to be included! With a dramatic huff, she puffed up her chest and swished her tail like a miniature banner of importance. Her purple eyes were wide and sparkling, fixated on the tiny beetle shell the two were using for their game... This game called... Bettleball? Huh.

" But isn't that just like Mossball? " she asked, tilting her head and frowning. Mossball was even easier, the ball was bigger than a beetle shell! Her whiskers twitched with skepticism as she peered between Jasperkit and Pricklekit. Jasperkit seemed ready to bat the shell at Pricklekit, and Strawberrykit had no intention of standing on the sidelines. " I can actually get us a mossy ball... Maybe it's easier? " she suggested in a plan of diversion, puffing her chest again and giving a small, dramatic spin to make sure everyone noticed her brilliant 'idea'.

And then, before anyone could respond, she batted the beetle shell lightly with her paw, making it roll into a tiny somersault. She let out a delighted squeak and twirled in place, nearly tripping over herself again. " Hah! Fun! Look at it roll! Isn't it adorable? "

[howlingkit]

Howlingkit much prefers to sleep, and she doesn't mind being in the minority. After all, if kits like Pricklekit, Strawberrykit, and Jasperkit each spend all of their energy out of the nursery, then she can get a few more moments of rest. The young molly isn't ignorant; she knows her preference to doze is because it's when she feels safest, and when the soreness of her injuries ebb away. It just happens to be, all around, the best option for her come this time of day.

However, when Pricklekit dashes out of the nursery, Howlingkit feels an echoing coldness in her side. Had she fallen asleep next to them again...? They never seem to mind, but clearly this time, they're uninterested in napping with her. The wheat-furred girl could continue her nap, but she hears the lot of her denmates playing about outside, and... well, she's a kit; she's at liberty to be curious.

Pricklekit and Jasperkit are battling a beetle shell between one another. Strawberrykit suggests they use a moss ball before, too, batting around the carapace. Howlingkit remains in the shroud of the nursery's maw, interested but unsure. Maybe for now she'll just watch.

PENNED BY PLOT

Dawnkit wants to run out and play with the older kits, but he knew sometimes they could get a little too rough for him to join in. It wasn't his fault he was so much younger than them! It wasn't fair!

But Mama would worry if he got hurt, and he didn't want that, so instead he padded quietly up to Howlingkit and looked up at his denmate.

"What they playing?" he asked her, motioning to the other kits with a tilt of his head. "Wanna play too?"
