Open Backwritten Event Camp WindClan Raindrops keep falling on my head! 💧 Puddle Jumping

[Finchkit Finchkit]

{$title} Phase 1 Prompt: The amount of rain lately has created plenty of puddles across the moor and camp. Do you play in it, or do you try your hardest to avoid getting even more wet?

————————— There might be something outside your window. ✦

The rain had been relentless and honestly, Finchkit was sick of it! It was so soon she and Hootkit would be apprenticed, but how were they meant to run or dig in weather like this? If she were any sort of a pessimist, she would have been sulking in the corner...

However, that is not what Finchkit is! Much to the chagrin of her mother, the kitten had realised some lovely puddles had formed in the camp's low points. She had been warned over and over and ooooooooooover again not to jump in them. They would get cold and wet and muddy and blah blah blah whatever!

She had snuck out of the nursery, bringing along the new little scrap of fur Goldenroar had taken in, Rubblekit. She was much more nervous about leaving the nursery, which she guessed was fair. This was a whole new place with new cats, and it was raining all the time now, but Finchkit wanted to show the smaller kitten that it was okay!

"C'mon, it'll be fun!" They purred, a grin tugging at her maw as she led the smaller kitten from the nursery. It was actively raining, so big fat raindrops already plopped themselves atop Finch's thick fur; there were only so many times she would shake it off, especially since a few raindrops would pale in comparison to what she found. "I promise it's like... The biggest puddle I've ever seen."

No one else seemed excited about puddles, so maybe Finchkit just had to hype them up; they had to be fun if the adults told her not to touch them. Never mind the whole "Don't go near large animals" thing after nearly getting trampled by the bison; that was a fluke.

The kittens' smiles widened as they came upon the puddle, big enough for the whole nursery to jump in and murky and dark from the disturbed earth. "See! It's even bigger than earlier, c'mon!!" She gave Rubblekit little time to register what was happening before Finchkit reared up and ran towards the puddle, leaping before landing with a satisfying splash that launched muddy water at anyone in the vicinity. Finchkit was beside herself, giggling, having not looked around before jumping, "Rubble!! It's your turn!"

———————— But you'll just....

Never know. —————————

[Rubblekit]

Peer pressure was one hell of a thing. On one paw, Rubblekit had been listening as quite a few of the queens in the nursery had been telling their own kits to not play in the puddles, whether it be for fear of illness that was already threatening to approach due to the weather that was soon about to change mixed with the constant onslaught of rain or because of the grossness of simply having to clean up the muddy kits after, but on the other paw if Rubblekit was to make a new home here she wanted to make friends, even if it meant those friends would soon be going out into the territory after becoming an apprentice, but she'd follow them out soon enough. The want to have a friend outweighed the constant warnings from the queens, and so quickly the brown-coated molly had found herself following behind the creme tabby, ears flattened to her head as thick heavy drops of rain pummeled onto them from above.

"Are you sure?" She'd speak out, head cocking to the side slightly as she did, continuing to follow the slightly older kit to the edge of the camp as they neared where this "biggest puddle ever" was, already rain-soaked and paws muddy by the time it was finally reached. As Finchkit began to back up and she realized what was about to happen, Rubblekit would find herself backing up as well, not to follow Finch's lead but instead to try and hide from the splash - or get away from it as much as possible - a small squeak coming from her as a small bit of mud splashed onto her already mud-colored fur. Though when it was announced that it was her turn she couldn't help but pause for a moment, orange and green eyes widening as realization dawned on her and quickly she'd nod her head. "Um... ok! She was going to make friends, and if it meant following after Finchkit and getting herself all dirty? Well then... she started running towards the puddle, jumping at the last second to try and land right next to Finchkit with a cheerful squeal before aiming to splash some more mud on the other.
