Open Camp THE SCALE OF MY AMBITION ❥ INTRO

[Chestnutkit]

"Okay!" Chestnutkit declares, eyes just opening for the day and already filling the nursery around her with her voice. She in actuality had been awake for quite some time but she had insisted on getting her 'beauty sleep' which she just assumed meant sitting stationary with her eyes closed for an extra minute. Maybe it's an odd sight, her sitting in the edges of the nursery like that, this matters not to her now because she's quick to make her exit. Large tail twitching behind her, fur rustling like a peacock spreading it's feathers.

Trying to look as grand as possible for the game she's concocted for herself and her sisters today. She supposes that maybe other kits can join her but that would depend on the temperament she had chosen for the day, so far she is willing to engage with her denmates. The white and chocolate she-kit marches with purpose towards the stumps that litter the clearing of camp. Her father should be nearby, not that she needs his help or anything since she's just that independent! Even if she gets stuck sometimes on the jump down from the stumps she just acts like it's part of the plan.

"We're playing clan today! Annnddd I'm holding the meeting!" She doesn't pause for anyones protests, instead her pinprick claws scratch against the smallest tree within the clumping of bark that she can see. There's a slight hesitance before she wiggles her tail and scrambles onto it. "I'm Chestnutstar, Creamkit you can be... Creampaw and you're going to be a warrior today! Swirlkit you can be whatever warrior name you want and..." she pauses trying to think of a special thing for her to be. "You're gonna become my deputy today" there's a clear cut finality in her tone. She was born to direct, she thinks anyways, finding joy in assigning roles in her grand games. Creamkit was her deputy last time so it only makes sense to switch it up this time.

Swirlkit looked up at Chestnutkit towering over them from above, ears perking up excitedly at the prospect of being the Deputy this time. She would have protested if she had to be the apprentice again, but thankfully that fate was left to Creamkit- Creampaw, this time. Her tail twitched and she tried to fluff herself up a bit more, like Chestnutkit, but her fur didn't quite lay the way her sister's did. It was rather unfortunate, but she settled with just sitting up straighter and saying, "Yes ma'am Chestnutstar!"

Occationally she found it a bit silly that Chestnutkit liked to take the leader role aaaalllll the time, she tried to make herself look soooo cool, even when she tripped and fell over. Swirlkit knew she wasn't all that cool, Chestnutkit is only her sister after all. But she would let her feel cool this time.

 

[Olivehop]

Olivehop looks to be on the brink of productivity, when a loud bellowing from across the clearing stops her dead in her tracks. Mere paces away from the exit to camp, her angular skull snaps around with a single ear pinned, and takes a keen interest in the fledglings holding court on the stumps. A grin worms its way into her face at the spectacle. She isn't one for the intricate machinations which govern clan affairs—political posturing is gobbledygook to her ears, and administrative protocol a disorder—but Chestnutstar makes for a rather convincing leader, and Swirlkit a capable deputy to shoulder those burdens.

She reroutes her course to march to their little camp, each stride carried by an efficient spring. Play-Clan is almost as rooted a tradition in SkyClan as any other. Not bound to ritual or regulation, yet cropping up in every litter as if it were some sort of inherent instinct. In any case, Olivehop comes to a fox-length's distance away, fwumps on her side, and chimes in, "The fresh-kill pile is ever so empty, Chestnutstar..."

Front paws draw in before her chest, angling so that they prop under her jawline, head drawn askew. With one eye pointedly half-closed in lazy comfort, she pretends to mull over the quandary at paw. "Golly, but what're we to do? Better send off a hunting patrol before we all starve." Trusting her arrival isn't an unwelcome one, the molly beams at the kits with a certain whimsy; either the result of fond reminiscence, or simple indulgence.

When her sisters exit the nursery and make for the camp clearing little Creamkit is quick to follow after them, waddling as fast as she could to try and keep up! The way Chestnutkit held herself and marched with purpose to one of the stumps made it clear they were about to play something fun and important! Sure enough, her sister announced without any allowance for protests that they would be playing Clan today and that a meeting was being held!

Lagging a bit behind Creamkit would finally reach Swirlkit's side, giving a little puff of breath before sitting down by the stump to also look up at Chestnutkit-- Or well, it was Chestnutstar today! It was declared that Creamkit herself would be Creampaw which made her wiggle excitedly for the day that that would actually come true! Like, for real life! What mentor would Hawkstar assign her to when that day came she wondered? Would they be really tough on her!? And what about her sisters! She shook her head to focus back on the game at hand, her cream coloured pelt fluffing out with pride as Chestnutstar said she'd be becoming a warrior today! "Yippee!!!" She'd squeal delightedly as she spun around in an excited circle before stopping to look up at her sister again, "What will my Warrior name be, Chestnutstar?" And Swirlkit got to be Deputy this time too! She wondered what name Swirlkit would give for herself as well, something cool no doubt!

Another voice joining in on their play at first made Creamkit jump in surprise! She'd look over as she tried to flatten down her now puffed out cream coat-- It was just a fellow Clanmate! No need to be so scared! She wasn't a baby anymore after all... At the mention of the fresh-kill pile being empty Creamkit would gasp and glance back up to Chestnutstar with big round blue eyes, as if silently pleading to be sent on hunting patrol even though she hadn't had her warrior ceremony yet!

"Okay okay!" Swirlkit spoke before Chestnutstar could try and get a word in to tell them what to do, taking her deputy role seriously and turning to point at each cat with a tiny claw. "I think Creampaw should go hunting all all her own, and when she comes back with prey she can be granted her warrior name! Like a test!" and pointed at Olivehop next, "You can do something useful and be our medicine cat! We don't have one yet and if Creampaw gets hurt, we need someone to help her!" and, finally, she pointed at herself with a tiny bit of pride, "And my warrior name will be Swirlmilk!"

She nodded her head in a self satisfied way, before looking up at Chestnutkit for her sister's approval in all of this.

 

[echokit]

Echokit doens't roll her eyes when Chestnutkit- Chestnutstar- climbs onto the stump in the middle of camp. Echokit's tongue is still busy grooming out her fur in tedious manners, knowing well enough if she does not do it, Lostmoon will. Starclan knows that it would hurt, and that Echokit would be there for far too long. Once she's satisfied that her fur is straight enough to join the mess, then she rolls her eyes, pushing to her paws and following the small group of kits into camp. They're only a little older then they are, but they wouldn't necessarily say they're more mature.

A huff leaves her as she sits nearby, bushy tail curling over her paws to protect them from the chill in camp, and ivy green eyes tilt towards the group of them. Echokit stares up for a long moment, then perks her ears- "Well, I want to be medicine cat apprentice, because that's the coolest job there is." She calls. "But what kind of name is Swirlmilk? You gonna defeat all of our enemies with what we get fed with?" Echokit says sharply, ears pushing forward, the feathering on the tips that has just begun to grow in earnest fluttering in the chilled breeze. Echokit pushes to her paws, stepping into the little ring of playing kits. Even if she thinks this might be immature, Echokit was going to play the game, and be better then all of them at it.

"I, Echopaw, say that Starclan declares you, Swirlkit, as Swirlpounce!" She barks out, standing tall- well, she wasn't really tall, especially compared to an actual warrior and three kits that were a whole moon older then her, but her chest is puffed and chin lifted, as if asking Swirlpounce to defy Starclan.

"WHAT!?" Swirlkit practically yelled. Staring at Echokit and gaping at the audacity. To just come over here into their game and call her name STUPID? "You can't do that! she squawked, fur puffing up in offense. Her mind raced, blinking at Echokit as she thought about the rules and who decided the names of warriors, and it most certainly wasn't medicine cat apprentices!

"You're not the leader! You can't choose names for warriors! You're not even a full medicine cat yet!" Swirlkit yapped, turning to look back at Chestnutstar while huffing, surely she wouldn't stand for this- this! This! Mockery of the name!

 

[Chestnutkit]

She wasn't exactly fuming per say... Couldn't bring herself to be truly mad at her littermate but there is a puff out of cheeks and a fluffing of already cloudy fur once Swirlkit, Swirlmilk makes declarations in her stead. "Fine fine, Olivehop you can be the medicine cat" she decides with a flourish of her paw, perfectly groomed of course. Swirlmilk can have this, she decides out of the goodness of her heart, she's her deputy after all and that just means that one day she might get to climb the stump (not if Chestnutkit had anything to say about it). "AHEM" she clears her throat rather pointedly, trying to pull the reigns in of this stage she had set. Creamkit still needs her name, she can let such outliers distract her. "Creampaw can't go hunting on her own, However Creamsong can go with our medicine cat" she declares with a huff, tail lifting to give her more stature as she makes her declarations.

Any look she might have chosen to shoot her mismatched sister is instead sent to Echokit, Echopaw since she thinks being some lame apprentice is cooler than anything that she could do. Which is sooo unfair because Chestnutstar would have been so blessed as to make her a warrior, something like Echoclaw or something. "Oh- sorry Echopaw did you hear that? That wasn't the sound of StarClan because they said only leaders can name their warriors" she huffs with a heated glare. All is fair in love and war, to Chestnutkit playing clan was handled far more seriously than any actual clan politics. Besides she's younger than them anyways! Why should they listen to her? She knows it's only by one moon but that one moon matters a lot to her.

"Swirlmilk, StarClan thinks your name is totally really cool actually and you should keep it." She declares with a firm nod. "Echopaw, you can stay here while Olivehop helps Creamsong look for prey. Unless you think you can hunt" it's a challenge, covert with a dazzling smile but a challenge nonetheless. She squints and notices a cluster of weeds amongst the snow, pointing a paw over there "you can hunt in that part of the territory! Don't come back unless you bring 3 pieces of prey annnd look out for badgers!" It's an epidemic lately, truly.

[echokit]

A snort leaves her mouth at the ringing noise that leaves Swirlpounce's mouth. You can't do that! "I didn't do it, Starclan did!" She barks back, lifting her chin and staring up with glittering sharp eyes. Seriously, who do you think you are, to go against their will? She mocks in her mind, tail tip flicking in irritation. Her ear twitches as Chestnutstar interjects, and Echopaw's vision swings towards her instead. Her jaw worked. Okay, maybe that was true in real life, but this wasn't that. It was pretend. "Did you ask them?" She challenges. "Leaders don't talk to them directly, medicine cats do. They're the ones who are supposed to read their signs." Echopaw declares.

She stands now, her recently groomed fur already starting to frizz up. Ugh, when will that stop doing that? She complains to herself. "Oh, I didn't know the leader got to tell the medicine cat to hunt, too. Chestnutstar, I think you need to check yourself." She says, turning on her heel to stalk back towards the nursery. "Seriously." Echokit says to herself as she wanders back towards her nest to laze around some more. Yeah, this would've been fun if Chestnutstar and Swirlmilk- what a dumb name- weren't so... so dumb!

Swirlkit huffed angrily and shook out her fur before turning to try and smooth it out. "Good riddance," she grumbled, glaring in the direction of the Nursery. "We don't need a medicine cat apprentice anyway..." she finished before turning back to Chestnutkit. "Now that we can play," Swirlkit began, "What do you want me to do, Chestnutstar?" she asked, looking up the big stump toward her sister, ready to receive orders for her new duties.
