Open Camp RC new friends, new opportunities (apprentice + kit friendships!)

She remembered when she was the new kid!

The way the apprentices and warriors looked at her and Duckpaw when they first joined camp was so different. Like they were analyzing some sort of anomaly that appeared, but she never let it get to her. Besides, everyone here was friendly now! There were even new kittens in the nursery! She could hardly wait until they were old enough to play. Some new kittypets had joined them too, one of them was an apprentice like her! She practically bounced with excitement realizing that. So many of the older apprentices had recently graduated, leaving the apprentice den rather sad and barren. But now she had new friends again! She hopped happily, padding towards the apprentice den.

"Drizzlepaw! I have to introduce you to everyone!" She called. She had taken it upon herself to be Drizzlepaw's friend, if purr liked it or not.

Cloudkit​

status: calm​

Cloudkit watched Orcapaw bounce around with a tilt to her head. She was residing in the shade of a fern with her eyes large and watching, head tucked into the fluff of her mane as she just...watched. They were of similar age if she recalls correctly. But Cloud had not yet been made an apprentice. She watched as the black furred apprentice dragged the newer apprentice around camp, heading towards the apprentice den, saying something about introducing them to everyone. With a blink and a movement so smooth it could be considered a glide, Cloudkit rises to her feet and aims to meet the pair halfway.

"Hello. I'm Cloudkit." She knows this one is Orcapaw and the other is Drizzlepaw due to Orca's shouts. But do they know Cloudkit? Doubtful, she has kept mostly to herself these past moons, observing in idle curiosity the goings on around camp and how the clan went about their day to day life. Soon she would be joining those that reside outside of the nursery so she figured watching and learning is the best thing she could do really. She supposes making friends would be a good start too.

[Sleetkit]

SLEETKIT ─── .✦Riverclan | Kit

Sleetkit was restless, not content to sit around in the nursery while her siblings cuddled up to their caretaker like the newborn kits did. No, she was determined to move and thankfully it seemed older kits were permitted to roam the camp. It was on her stroll that she noticed the three young cats--two were newly made apprentices and one was still just a kit. She recognized Drizzlepaw, of course--he was one of the cats who'd found her and her siblings, after all. But the other two? Sleetkit had seen them around but never got the chance to actually get to know them since getting settled in. Well, since they're already doing introductions... My turn! My turn!! Without a second thought, she pranced right up to them to join in the conversation as if she had been there the whole time.

"Hiya!" Sleetkit's voice was as cheery as her demeanor, easily displayed by the tail twitching up happily as she introduced herself. She nodded to Drizzlepaw, a simple acknowledgement of familiarity before addressing the other two. "I'm Sleetkit! Is nice to meetcha!"

OOC: I hope it's okay for me to join in, I'm still very new so if needed I can delete this \(;w;)/​

 

[lavenderspring]

Lavenderpaw lifts her head from her nest, blinking the sleep from her eyes. In the shadowed entrance of the den, she spies Orcapaw, Cloudkit, and a few other familiar (and unfamiliar) faces. The blue furred molly doesn't like being woken from her naps, especially with her many night-time activities, but she supposes this is juvenile enough to excuse. Plus, her young kin is a part of the welcoming parade, and what isn't fun about bringing in new, curious blood?

She stands, shaking the loose moss from her pelt briefly, before joining the quartet. Though, she supposes with her body, it becomes a quintet, and counting. The older apprentice curls her tail around Cloudkit, offering her cousin some warmth against the chilly leafbare air, before tilting her gaze to the apprentices. "Drizzlepaw?" she echoes the name Orcapaw had said, dull face gaining a pinched brow. She hardly criticizes the newcomer, however, offering a slight shrug in his direction, "Welcome to RiverClan," the molly then offers after. Though, with so many patrols around the territory, she can't help but feel she's seen the stranger's split facade before... Ah, well, the details don't matter so much now.

SPEECH | THOUGHTS | PHYSICAL

PENNED BY PLOT

Dawnkit couldn't believe how much bigger the apprentices were than him and his brother - but they all seemed nice enough! He bounded up alongside Sleetkit and Cloudkit, puffing out his little fluffy chest in an attempt to make himself appear larger. (It didn't work).

"I'm Dawnkit!" he announced. "My momma's Warmglow and my brother's Bravekit and..." He paused, unsure where to go after that.

"Oh! And I like to watch the sunrise! Maybe if we become friends we can do that together!"

​

OOC:

 

[Bravekit Bravekit]

┅┅ Bravekit trailed behind Dawnkit, as usual. He definitely wasn't as social as his brother, but he didn't want to be rude to the newcomer either. Despite feeling rather silly and small next to the rest of the cats involved, he offered a small smile.

"I'm Bravekit,"

he mewed with a small nod as Dawnkit introduced him.

While Dawnkit mentioned watching the sunrise, Bravekit took a moment to look over the newcomer. They still carried a faint scent from... Wherever it was they'd come from. It was strange to think there existed a world outside the camp he'd been born into. Curiosity rounded his eyes, drawing him closer to the stranger. Drizzlepaw, that's what Orcapaw had said.

"Drizzlepaw,"

Bravekit began quietly.

"Where did you come from?"

[JUNCOPAW]

Juncopaw is much more resistant to the temptation of sleep and naps, unlike her sister—it feels good to sink into one's nest at the end of a long, well-spent day, but Juncopaw likes to be up as soon as possible each morning. The more time she has, the better! She's surprised when Lavenderpaw appears right beside her, though with the chit-chat that is happening right outside the apprentices' den, Juncopaw supposes it should have been inevitable.

"Morning, sleeping beauty."

She knocks her shoulder into Lavenderpaw's. It's a senseless tease; it truly is not that late.

With the matter of Lavenderpaw now settled, Juncopaw can refocus her attention on the unfamiliar face. Drizzlepaw. She had spotted the bi-colored cat before, but there had not been ample time for proper introductions yet. At least Orcapaw is orchestrating this properly!

"Hi! I'm Juncopaw!"

comes her own greeting, shrill and loud, barely patient enough to wait for an opening in the conversation. If she talks over anyone, she does not notice... though she does easily latch onto Bravekit's question.

"And why did you come here?"

The question is innocent—Juncopaw doesn't mind new friends, even if they had come from somewhere totally far away. It takes her a moment to realize it might have come across as mean.

"Oh, sorry, I mean- I don't mean it in a bad way! Just curious."
