Open Camp you call on me for powers clandestine — new names discussion

[FOXTAIL]

Fox's eyes are ready for sleep, but as the moon shines down on the makeshift camp, the former shipyard cat continues to weave. He isn't the only cat up right now, and even if he had the opportunity to close his eyes, he wonders if he could sleep with Pike and Smoke on his mind. So much has changed, Fox thinks to himself, In so little time, too.

The young tom lifts his gaze up from the den he's helping with, and pauses for a moment.

"What n-names do y-you guys think we'll get?"

Fox breaks the silence, with a stammering mew. He somewhat understands what Pike explained... Kits under 6 moons will have "-kit" added to their names, cats under 12 will get "-paw". But warriors? Pike didn't say every warrior would get the same suffix. Pike will have to rename all of them.... upon his return.

"...I-I can't even imagine what m-mine would be."

[Torrentpaw]

- TORRENT -

Not some average bones, I believe in love!

.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ⟡ With a yawn, Torrent pauses his work to look up at Fox, rubbing his eyes with a sleepy paw. He studied the tom for a moment, thinking of all the possible names that might be fitting for him. Torrent was excited for his own name, but from his understanding, he wouldn't get anything besides 'Torrentpaw' until he was older. He would have to earn it.

"You're pretty fluffy." Torrent began, his eyes bright despite the tiredness that fell like a blanket over his shoulders. "Maybe you'll be named 'Foxfluff.'" He paused to think for a moment, turning to continue weaving beside the tricolor tom. "I can't wait to get my new name."

PROFILE

 

[Peachtrot]

Let's play like we're children and sing till the moons full

Before the day we turn to nothing but sand

​

Everything felt so different already. From the sound of running water flowing over pebbles and sand (instead of the harsher crashing of waves against the beach) to the announcement that they would be called Riverclan, to even the fact that they had to learn to build their own shelter, instead of finding a shed to huddle under, it all felt so new and strange....but also fun! It was enjoyable to learn new skills and to put them to use, even as she circled around the island, looking for anyone who needed her helping, albeit hurt, paw.

It was during this 'patrol' that her ears picked up the sound of a discussion about something she hadnt actually thought about since given the job of teaching everyone to weave; new names. That was right... she was no longer going to be called Peachy... Her head tilted in thought as she made her way towards the small group, catching the suggestion that Torrent made towards Fox. "I think Foxfluff is a fun name~" A Small laugh, always mirthful when speaking with her other ship- no... clanmates...right? That was what they were now. No longer Shipcats or loners or rogues but a clan, together.

Before she continued the conversation with her own suggestions, she couldn't help but notice the sad attempt at a pattern that fox was trying to pull off. Like a mother looking at a kit learning how to pounce, her smile softened and she gave a small shake of her head as she chuckled lightly. "Here, Fluffy," Another giggle as she gently nudged his wall closer to her and pulled a reed into her paw. "like this, see?" As she showed her patterning technique to the struggling tom, she mused outloud on her own name. "I dont have any preference for what I want mine to be. Im sure Pike will pick something fun like...Peachywave or maybe Peachylight! And maybe you'll be something cool, Torrent! Like...Torrentstorm!" It didn't occur to her that she would have to lose the 'y' in her name, assuming the leader would just tack on a second part without changing the first.

[velvetpaw]

Velvet was struggling a little bit with even getting the reeds in a useful place, let alone weaving them into any sort of sturdy den... but she'd be damned if she wasn't going to at least TRY. She'd never really needed to do anything that required this much paw dexterity, but - as reluctant as she'd be to admit it - at least she had some sort of company, even if they were chattering about things she hadn't thought about very much.

"I won't have to worry about what kind of warrior name I'll get for a few moons yet - I'll just be stuck with Velvetpaw for a while." As for what she got for a suffix... well, she had no idea, and didn't really feel like thinking too much about it. "I guess I don't really care that much what my warrior name is as long as it's not something stupid."

[Wavesong]

Foxfluff.

Wave couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle, her grin tugging at the corners of her mouth as Torrent's suggestion took hold. The name was adorable, fitting in its own peculiar way, and seeing Fox's reaction to it only made it better. She flicked her tail with amusement, the soft breeze carrying a hint of salt from the sea she had once been part of. " Aye, it does have a ring to it, don't it? " she teased, her tone light and playful. Her paws worked clumsily at the weaving as she spoke, though her focus had clearly drifted to the conversation. The rhythm of Fox's weaving had seemed deceptively simple at first, but her own attempt was far from graceful. Still, she wasn't one to quit, especially when it came to learning something new.

Her attention shifted at the mention of other names, and she quirked a brow as she turned her gaze toward Peachy. " Peachywave, eh? " she mused, a smirk forming on her face. " Though Peachyheart's got a nice lil' charm to it too, don't it? " She gave Peachy an exaggerated wink, her voice carrying an air of playful mischief. Her blue eyes flicked toward Velvet next, and her grin only widened. " An' Velvet... " she began, leaning slightly toward the other cat. " Yer gonna get yerself a name that's as fine an' fancy as ye, I bet. Velvetwhisker, Velvetshadow, Velvet...somethin' smooth like honey. " She gave a teasing wink, her grin never faltering.

Wave paused for a moment, her gaze flickering back to her weaving as she muttered under her breath. " Now if only this blasted thing didn't look like a crab had gotten to it... " She gave it an annoyed flick before glancing back up, the humor still glimmering in her eyes. " But aye... " she continued, her tone softening just slightly. " New names, new starts, new stories. Reckon we've got ourselves a fine future ahead, eh? "

[FOXTAIL]

Fox raises an invisible eyebrow at the younger tom's mew, tilting his head slightly.

"Yeah... I-I am pretty fluffy,"

Fox agrees with him, as he silently wonders where Torrent is going with this. "Maybe you'll be named Foxfluff." Torrent's green eyes shine bright with a tired mew, and Fox barely holds back a laugh.

"F-Foxfluff?"

Fox echoes back with a light, tired smile.

"I know I'm pretty f-fluffy.... but I-I don't think I want to be named after it."

Fox chuckles as he shakes his head, subconsciously ruffling his fur for a quick moment.

"You s-should be excited,"

Fox gives the younger tom a nod, they both know what suffix Torrent will receive. But that doesn't mean it isn't something to be excited about... he has moons to wonder what name Pike will give them when he's ready to be a "warrior".

"Maybe, when you're r-ready, y-you'd be called Torrentheart,"

Fox suggests, as Torrent always seems so positive... so optimistic. He's eager to learn; eager to assist in ways he can.

He looks back down at the den he is trying to weave... and oh boy. I don't know what I'm doing with this, Fox thinks to himself, as his ears prick up at the sound of soft paw steps nearing him.

He looks up to see Peachy, and he wonders if she read his mind as she sits down beside him. "Here, Fluffy." A giggle escapes her maw, and Fox shakes his head lightheartedly, as she shows him her patterning technique.

"Alright, I-I'll give it another t-try,"

He says with a nod, before giving it another attempt. It isn't nearly as precise as Peachy's instructions, but the tom's ear flicks as she speaks to him and Torrent.

"Peachylight suits y-you,"

Fox agrees, and gives a nod at her suggested name to Torrent. Torrentstorm is another good one for the young cat... he can't believe he didn't think of that!

He looks over to Velvet, another cat who isn't old enough to get a unique suffix. She sounds unsure... she won't be getting her name for a couple moons after all. He's about to open his maw, when Wave speaks up with words of encouragement.

"...Maybe Velvetstrike,"

Fox adds on, as he attempts to recreate Peachy's weaving pattern. But Velvet shouldn't have to worry... Pike has moons to think of her name— unlike the rest of them that are "warrior" aged!

He focuses his attention onto the bicolored tabby. She is always is looking out for other shipyard— no, RiverClan cats... He thinks back to the swimming lessons, when she spoke quietly in his ears, sensing his anxiety around it. She has a good sense at others emotions, and not every cat is lucky to have that.

"Maybe P-Pike will name you Wavesong? ...Waveroar?"

Fox suggests with a little uncertainty, thinking of names isn't an easy task. And he wonders how Pike is supposed to do it, for all of them... as he goes back to his weaving.​

[Russetfall]

FALLING FOR THE PROMISE OF THE

EMPTINESS MACHINE

Russet had been idly watching some of the others from outside the messy gnarl of roots that Pike had said would serve as a temporary den for the wounded and kits. Her head rested on her paws with green eyes half-closed as she had one ear pointed back into the den to listen for any kits getting into trouble while the other listened to the conversation of the den weaving party.

The topic of names came up and slowly the tabby raised her head in curiosity. New names, a new group structure... Pike as leader? It was all so much to take in so soon. She'd seen similar things play out, with one cat amongst the group deciding they would lead though it had never been accompanied by new names.

Would this play out like she'd seen so many times before? Would someone- she didn't know who this time- challenge Pike for the 'honor' of leadership with bloodthirsty teeth and claws? She couldn't see Pike as particularly skilled in fighting, maybe enough for basic self defense but that would hardly be enough if anyone was bound and determined to claim the throne for themselves.

Maybe things would be different this time? She genuinely doubted it would. Best to just leave the moment she was well enough to fend for herself once again rather than stay and get caught up in the inevitable power struggle.

"The name changes are weird, I'm not really a fan, honestly." Russet finally chimes in with a frown. How was everyone else so willing to go along with this? She shook her head, none of them had any idea of how things were going to change. ...She WAS curious to know what kind of name she might be given, though. "...I just hope I don't get named anything ridiculous. Like Russet....Russet...." She paused, searching for an example.

"Russetleap or Russetfur something like that."

[Wavesong]

Wave's voice carried a warmth that rippled like the sea itself, her amusement clear as she weaved, though not quite as successfully as she'd hoped. A slight scowl flickered across her face before she shook it off with a grin, rolling her shoulders as if to brush away the minor frustration. " Aye, now that's quite the name, huh? Torrentheart, for a good an' kind heart. " she mused, her sharp eyes flicking toward Torrent. The name suited him, she thought. Strong, steadfast, yet full of warmth. If, that was what he would get ofcourse.

When Fox mentioned Wavesong, she tilted her head, thoughtful. It had a nice ring to it, didn't it? But at the next suggestion: Waveroar, she couldn't help but burst into laughter, the sound loud and free. " Waveroar! " she echoed, throwing her paws up in an exaggeratedly terrifying pose, eyes gleaming with mischief. " Is tha' 'cause I'm so scary? " she teased, flashing a playful smirk. " Aye, I must be th' fear o' th' sea itself! " As Russet spoke, Wave's ears perked, her amusement settling into something softer, curiosity, perhaps. She listened, nodding along before responding with an easy shrug.

" They're odd, aye… but ye know, life's ever changin', like th' tides! " she remarked, her tail flicking idly. " I don't think yer gonna be named Russetfur. " A small, knowing smile curled her lips as she studied the younger cat. " Nah… I think yer somethin' more than that. " She tilted her head, thoughtful now. " Maybe… Russetflight? Russetshade? " The names rolled off her tongue like the rise and fall of waves, her gaze bright with curiosity as she waited to see if any of them settled right in Russet's mind.

[GARNET]

It's all too easy to be drawn into a conversation, Garnet's interest piqued at the bouncing around of name ideas. She still can't quite wrap her head around the naming convention Pike had explained to them. Why would they need new names? It's already tricky knowing she is to be calling her children Amberpaw and Scarabpaw. But now her mate? Herself?

"And what if Pike gives us names we don't like? Think we can veto them?" The spotted tabby questions with a quirked brow, curiosity and challenge dancing in her emerald gaze. "If he even tries to call me Garnetscar or Garnetpelt or something hideous, boring, or hideously boring like that I think I may be entitled to a cuff upon his ear, yeah?" Garnet adds, pearly teeth gleaming in a mischievous grin.

 

[SHARKPAW]

I WONT LET THIS BREAK US

​

---

'I hope I get a cooler name than 'Sharkpaw'," he huffed, not sounding entirely impressed. "Sharks don't even have paws-- it makes no sense!" At least, not from what his mother had told him. They were big, dangerous fish with sharp teeth and a poor attitude– just like him, minus the fish part of course.

"And what if Pike gives us names we don't like? Think we can veto them?"

Sharks nose wrinkled at the idea of being called something stupid or silly sounding. "You don't think he'd try and call me 'Sharkflower' or something stupid like that, do you? I'll trade you for 'Sharkscar' if he does, Garnet." he offered, liking that waaay more.
