    [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; width: 400px;][font=arial][justify][size=8]hesitant, a giant clumsy fluff stepped over the border, the wind pressing his thick fur against his body. he knew where he was. riverclan. his mom had sent him on his way as soon as he was able. and he hadn't known much of anything except her. the only survivor of a litter of four. very sad it was.


    she must have been pretty disappointed about this weakling as a son. but she was surprisingly not at all. she was just relieved that she didnt have to explain anything. no one asked questions and no one knew. but he would not go back to his mother any time soon because she didn't want anyone to know about her having a child.


    he sighed, the breath carrying across the way swiftly, as he awaited someone to greet him.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: auto; width: 455px; text-align: justify;][sub]Tadashi laid his eyes upon the joiner and padded forward, a warm smile gracing his features. "Hi!" The tiger greeted before adding, "What can I help you with?"

    [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; width: 400px;][font=arial][justify][size=8]okay. don't freak out. it was just a question. he didn't believe he could help him with anything but that's probably not what he was wondering. what was he doing there? the wolf pup sat and shuffled his paws staring at the male, silently, thinking of what to say. "id like to join." he said, questioningly, as if uncertain. but he was quite certain that this was the place for him.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify]"Sorry, no joiners allowed," deadpanned the kitten as she sauntered up to the pair, olive gaze cool and admittedly a tad curious. She was silent after that, studying the other youth with a quirked brow, wondering why he seemed so worried; it was almost as if he didn't believe what he'd said. Narrowing her eyes ever so slightly, she pursed her lips and shook her head. "Kidding. Welcome to the clan. Name's Honeykit."


    She glanced up at Tadashi immediately after speaking, interested to see how he would react to her presence at the border. Were children even allowed to leave the camp? Frankly, she couldn't remember, though she didn't seem all that bothered by the risk she'd taken in heading out.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: auto; width: 455px; text-align: justify;][sub]Tadashi had seen this one at a meet and greet just recently. She was humorous, and he liked that in his clanmates. The tiger didn't really mind the kitten out of camp. She was with him after all. He chuckled lightly and said, "And I'm Tadashi. Need a tour or anything?" He asked.

    [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; width: 400px;][font=arial][justify][size=8]he blinked, surprised at the quite monotone, seriousness of the female kitten. taken aback, his jaw hung down slightly, slack. he stuttered momentarily. "i- uh- you-wha?" happy's slate grey eyes burned with anxious tears. he was not going to cry. not in front of these strangers. no he was not. he blinked rapidly before taking a deep breath to speak more calmly before he heard her next words.


    he was allowed to stay. thank goodness. "oh." was all he said in response to that whole situation. and he blankly stared at the pale orange tabby for a long moment then at tadashi who had both given their names before realizing. oh. he supposed he should state his name as well. "hapticpup." the young pup said, straightening. "and no, i think i am good." although he would have loved for them to stay and chat with him a bit longer. but they probably would not want to do such a thing.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify]A wry smile crept onto her maw at Haptickit's reaction to her sudden refusal, though perhaps it may have come off as cruel given the circumstances. She watched quietly as he processed what she'd said, looking more and more amused by the second. Honey's pale ginger head tilted to the right ever so slightly when she noticed the gleam in his eyes. Tears. She shrugged lightly to herself and then sniffed. "You're just a kid and you don't know the place well at all," observed Honeykit. Her tone almost seemed disapproving. "Turning down a tour's a silly idea."

    [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; width: 400px;][font=arial][justify][size=8]it was true that he was just a kid, but he wanted a chance to get used to his new home on his own. if he happened to die exploring then that would just be so tragic. he dipped his head slowly and looked at the ground then up at honeykit again. "as are you." he replied, strong minded attitude showing briefly.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify]For a moment she was speechless as she considered his words. She almost seemed stumped, but then a snort escaped her throat and she rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but I grew up here, stupid," Honeykit countered with a lash of her feathery tail. Of course, she was just as in the dark as he was regarding the layout of the territory; today was her first day outside the nursery and she had barely managed to reach the border without getting lost. She wasn't about to tell Hacticpup that, however. "Obviously I've gotta know my way around."

    [justify]"Honeykit!" Brooklynkit's shocked voice could be heard nearby, having followed her sister's scent over here. "Maybe he's just tired. I'm sure that he might find his way around later. Or maybe he'll ask someone to show him afterwards. There's no need to fight with him over something this silly." She said towards her sister. Suddenly, anxiety filtered into her thoughts. What if she'd offended her sister?

Eager excitement sparkled in Furtivepaw's eyes as he came up next, tail wagging at imaginable speeds behind him. "Hello!" He said, pleased. "I'm Furtivepaw. Welcome to RiverClan, Hapticpup." His attention briefly slid to Honeykit's words before he tore it away to look at Hacticpup again, too excited to meet another dog to properly pay attention to anything else.

    others was something foreign to atkritumi. so he was a bit scared to see that there were so many other people here. the small robot decided to sit by tadashi, his bell jingling softly as he let out a confused "beep?"

    Coming to a halt beside Atkritumi, the feline watched as the kits conversed with the new pup as the thought of where are his parents? passed through her mind. So often young joiners arrived without family, which she was sure was unsafe. Where had they been all this time? How did they survive? As long as they were with the clan now, she told herself it didn't much matter.


    "Welcome to RiverClan, Hapticpup. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here."
    [/fancypost][/fancypost]

    [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; width: 400px;][font=arial][justify][size=8]her sudden outburst caused him to take a hesitant step back and he tripped backwards onto his rump. oh no. had he done something wrong? he didnt mean for her to get mad at him. "what?" hap murmured, large ears flattening against his head. this whole thing was so nerve racking for him. he was just about to bolt away from the hostile kitten when someone shouted her name. her sister perhaps? he tensed up, wondering if she were to yell at him as well. he hadn't known anyone his age so it was not a good first impression that they were nice. but this one seemed kind.


    he realized noticeably and stood up again to watch brooklynkit gently scold her sister. he was about to greet her when another young canine found his way over. wow. someone like him. "hello! thanks." he noticed how excited the other was and wondered if there werent as many dogs in riverclan. well he was yet to find out about that.


    beep? what in the world? his eyes grey optics widened at the sound the robotic creature had made. "why?" he mumbled to himself, trying to refrain from wondering aloud. he might offend someone. most likely the robot. and last but not least an older lady, pretty. he nodded at her. "hi, thanks. whats your name?"

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify]She glanced sharply at Brooklynkit when her name was called, and the faint look of amusement that still lingered on her face twisted into a frown as the other told her off. Agh, she's right! thought the downy kitten as she stared down her sister. Why didn't I think of that? For a split second, a look of embarrassment passed across her face, lighting her eyes and making her furrow her brow. It vanished as quickly as it appeared, replaced by her usual stony expression. "It's not silly," Honeykit shot back, though her harsh tone was more fueled by her own chagrin than irritation at Brook's words. "He needs to know his way around, and better sooner than later, yeah? I was just helping."


    Her ears twitched suddenly when an odd noise reached her. A… beep? Swinging her head around to face its source, she started upon noticing some weird-looking metallic creature, one she'd never seen before. "What the heck are you?" she demanded, taking a much different route than Hapticpup.

    the sudden attention by the joiner and honeykit made the tiny omnic hide; his paws covering his face as his little bell jingled. "b-beep! beep beep!" his small voice sounded frantic, and he hid behind some of the adults nervously. he didn't know what honey was saying, but it sounded mean!

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; height: auto; width: 455px; text-align: justify;][sub]Tadashi smiled at all of this bickering and shook his head before saying, "Guys, guys. Don't worry. He'll explore some other time. Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think pups can tour around the island just yet."
