OOC: please look in Strawberry's bio if you don't get a word i'm yammering about.
Strawberry strode into a camp, which smelled like the cats she met earlier. The kittypet's chin was high as she stalked over to one cat and asked, "Where is your leader?" her voice was curt, but fairly loud. Her tail tip twitched nervously.

Seamist padded warily to the intruder, noting that she smelled of Twolegs. "Our leader is Midnightstar, and I am Seamist, the former deputy of ShoreClan. Who are you?" Although most Clan cats would have chased a kittypet off their territory immediately, Seamist, being part kittypet/rogue herself, would never do such a thing. She noticed that the young cat's tail-tip was twitching nervously, and added warmly, "Don't worry. I'm sure Midnightstar will show up soon. In the meantime, why don't you tell me why you're here?"

"Well," Strawberry began. "I was invited to join this Clan a long time ago. I thought about it, but why not? So I decided to come here." strawberry paused. "I'm Strawberry, by the way. I'm a bit... nervous." strawberry looked at the ground, embarrased. "I found a mouse along the way..." she placed a mouse at Seamist's paws. It was dead. Strawberry's hear pounded. what if I'm not accepted into the Clan? a voice whispered in her mind.

Seamist looked at Strawberry appraisingly. "If you were invited, I'm sure you're still welcome. ShoreClan never goes back on its word, and Midnightstar is fair." She glanced at the dead mouse. "Good job for catching that - not many kittypets can hunt," she mewed. "Since you're not part of ShoreClan yet - although it's not my place to decide - you can eat that for yourself. I just hunted." She'll make a good warrior, she thought decisively. "It's okay to be nervous - I remember I was when I first joined the clan. Mind you, I was half-dead and probably too unconscious to be very scared. "

Strawberry flattened her ears in embarrasment. She nodded and gulped down the mouse. "I'll guess I'll wait here." she mewed finally, licked her lips. "I hope Midnightstar comes soon." Strawberry sighed and sat down by a bush.

Nightfrost walked into the camp with a vole in his mouth. He spotted Seamist talking to a cat he did not know. Anger suddenly wheled up in him, what was a cat from another Clan doing here? He droped the vole on the freash-kill pile and walked over to Seamist, inteding to demand what this cat was doing here. When he got closer, he realized that the cat did not smell of any particular Clan, but she smelled like the Twolegs. He stammered for a bit before asking, "Who's this?" his voice was moslty curious but there was still a little bit of his previous anger. There was an almost-undetectible sense of scorn there too. The kitty-pet appeared to be eating a piece of fresh-kill. Nightfrost didn't belieave that a kittypet was able to hunt that down for themselves, so he believed that Seamist had given her the prey.

Strawberry hissed and unsheathed her claws. The kittypet was young but still had a fierce temper when pushed. "I'm Strawberry, and I'm joining this Clan." she told him icily. She nodded toward the place where the devoured mouse was (or had been? do cats digest all food? oh, and make sure you don't answer this, seamist. ) Strawberry continued, her tone the same. "And I caught that mouse, thank you very much." she added.

talonpaw trotted into camp, his tail high as he carried in his first mouse. The apprentice had done it without his mentor. He sniffed and smelled kittypet scent. Turning his head around, he saw the new cat, um, who? Oh. Right. Seamist. Talonpaw noticed Seamist and Nightfrost talking with a ginger she cat. Talonpaw went over. "Hi. Who's this?" Talonpaw asked quizically. His fur bristled faintly.

Seamist sighed. "This is Strawberry, and she's going to join ShoreClan," she mewed impatiently. "Keep your fur down, she's probably not going to hurt you, unless you tick her off." She noticed the mouse that the apprentice held in his jaws. "Your first one," she mewed appraisingly. although she had only mentored one apprentice, she felt an urge to keep tabs on all of the young cats in the Clan. She turned to Nightfrost. "Not all kittypets are as soft as you think. I'm part kittypet, thank you very much," she mewed lightly. She didn't blame him for being biased; most kittypets she knew were soft, and wouldn't be able to catch a mouse even if it ran up their throat.
OOC: I messaged Midnightstar, we should get a ranking cat to accept her formally into the Clan.

((hey, will Twilightsong work? if not well, ah, he's here anyways. ^^))
Twilightsong had been watching Talonpaw out hunting and was pleased he was doing good. He intended on taking him out the next day for a sparring session to start his battle training. As he came into camp, he saw several cats conversing and being Deputy he knew it was his job to see what was going on, especially since he smelled kittypet.
Coming over, he saw Seamist was already talking to the female while Nightfront and Talonpaw seemed edgy. He didn't blame them, but the kittypet didn't seem very old or much of a threat so his posture relaxed a bit. As large as he was, even if the cat was a threat, he was pretty sure he could run her off easily.
Having overheard everything Seamist said, he had a good grasp of what was going on and stepped over and introduced himself. "Hello Strawberry, I'm Twilightsong, Deputy of Shoreclan. I hear you want to join?" He asked, his tone friendly. "I see you caught a mouse and that's good to know you can hunt, but are you sure you're prepared for a life as a Clan cat? It's not an easy way of life and you have to adhere to the Warrior code at all times." He said, not wanting to run her off, but wanting to make sure she knew what becoming a Clan cat entailed. He wondered where Midnightstar was, but figured she would be here soon since she was rarely one to miss anything that happened in camp.

Ripplestream trotted out behind Twilightsong and smiled at Strawberry. Her pretty amber-green eyes were warm. "Hello, Strawberry," she meowed quietly. She waved her plumy tail around and glanced to Midnightstar's den The medicine cat leaned over to the deputy and whispered in his ear. "Should we take her to Midnightstar?" she asked.

Mousepaw smelt the reek of Twolegs when somecat entered the camp, he didn't want to exactly be hostile, so walked out from the Medicine Cat's den and looked at thenewcomer, "huh, a kittypet", Mousepaw muttered, everyone was being too nice to the kittypet they barely knew, "Are we letting a Kittypet," he emphasized the word kittypet, "Into the Clan?"
OOC: Bit like Into The Wild

A young clan cat darted into the den of the leader. Normally, one waited outside to be allowed entry but a kittypet was seeking entrance into Shoreclan and Midnightstar was asleep. The cat remained a respectful distance away, but yowled at the asleep cat. "Midnightstar." No response. "Midnightstar!" She tried again with no response. Finally, she reached out and prodded the larger cat gently. Midnightstar finally woke up, shaking her head to dispel her sleepiness. She looked mildly disgruntled at being woken up, but her feature settled as she smiled slightly.
"What's wrong?" She asked immediately.
"A kittypet is seeking entrance into Shoreclan. Twilightsong is there now, but you are needed as well." The clan cat responded, before leaving the den. Midnightstar stood and stretched, before padding down to the party. Her fur looked mildly rumpled, though she didn't bother to do anything about it. She approached the gathering, nudging aside her deputy to make room as she sat down next to him.
"Hello. My apologies for being late. I am Midnightstar. I heard you are seeking entrance into Shoreclan, correct?" She mewed politely, smiling down at the smaller cat. She hadn't heard the cat's name, but approved of the fact that she could hunt and brought food to prove it. However, she did manage to hear Mousepaw's slightly hostile question, before flashing him a warning glance. Of course, then she remembered that he was now blind and he couldn't see her glance. Not in the mood to deal with hostile clan cats (When waking up, Midnightstar was always a little grumpy), She quietly reprimanded him.
"Mousepaw. Just because she is a kittypet doesn't mean she cannot be a useful Clan Cat. Blossompaw was a kittypet. Rubymoon was a kittypet. Seamist was a kittypet, and they've done fine." Her voice was sharp, before she turned back to Strawberry. Mousepaw was not her apprentice, so she would leave more reprimanding for Ripplestream. Her voice was courteous once more, giving no sign of her former agitation. "Twilightsong is correct. The Clan life is not easy. If, however, you are willing to deal with the current lack of food and become a Shoreclan cat, we are more than happy to have you." She told Strawberry, reciting everything from memory blandly.
(Sorry for the late post. Got busy. Blah. >>)

Seamist nodded. "We sleep outside in dens, and must hunt for every mouthful - although I think you've already grasped that," she added. "Sometimes, we must fight other Clans, and because we live this way, we are vulnerable to injury, sickness and death. This is no path for normal kittypets." Her eyes glinted as she went on; "However, cats like you, me, and Midnightstar's own apprentice, Blossompaw are different. StarClan, the spirits of our warrior ancestors, willed it to be so." Her tail flicked back and forth as she fixed her piercing sea-green gaze on Strawberry. "Now then, having said all that, are you ready?" she mewed quietly. She wasn't one for speeches, but this was important. I hope you join, she mewed silently.

Pebblestone came up to the little group just then with a freshly killed squirrel in his jaws. Trotting quickly over to the fresh-kill pile to drop his catch in, he bounded over to his mate. He nuzzled her ear and nodded to the young cat politely, "Hello," he meowed, "Are you joining our Clan?" he glanced quizzically at Midnightstar.
Ripplestream glanced at her apprentice sharply. "Mousepaw!" she hissed. "Don't say that! You should know better by now not to judge a cat by where he or she comes from," her voice was sharp and she twitched her ears angrily. "Is Blossompaw doing worse than any of the other apprentices? Should Seamist be kicked out of the Clan? Does Rubymoon not deserve to be a warrior?" The medicine cat's amber-green eyes flashed warningly although Mousepaw could not see. She had not wanted to make a big scene and she had kept her voice quiet throughout, but her words were tinged with warning.
