    ooc // sup! paper is just visiting darkclan for a while and meeting some cats and then she'll head back to windclan

    this happens after all the fighting dies down btw <3


    "Where the heck did all this mist come from!?" Paperpaw hisses, finding it steadily harder and harder to see anything at all in the darkening steep pine trees and growing white mist. She'd been wondering through other clans territories for what felt like moons now - she just had to be away from Windclan. The cool forest was a thrilling parallel to the hot and dry moors she'd come from, and with it she felt her mind settle more. What had she even been doing?


    She'd run away from Windclan because she had failed to assassinate her father, as the Dark Forest had requested in order for her to continue with her training. It was the only family member she would ever consider killing and she had failed. With this failure hanging as heavily over her as the mist, she trudged through the slowly more mossy and wet grounds of Darkclans' territory.

    //that means the famine is over, right? no cats stealing prey from another?


    Dusksparks was out and about, enjoying going out and finding more than one prey. Currently, he had a mouse and a rabbit in his jaw, ready to bring them back to camp. However, he stopped in his tracks when he smelled a forign scent nearby. Pondering on it for a second, he realized that it was from WindClan. What was a Windclanner doing here? To be this far into DarkClan they had to have a purpose, and there didn't seem to be anyone else, so it wasn't like there was an ambush or something. Following it, he came to a younger molly. He set down his prey and called out to her. "Hey there, what brings you to DarkClan? I'm Dusksparks! I'm...not sure if you can go farther though, without Rosestar or Tulipblaze around, sorry." He said, apologetically. After all, you didn't bring random cats into the main cave unless they were joining or someone important, and even he knew that.


    // hnng late replies but yeah this would be after all the drama from the capture/famine ect! CEDARSTEP. let them bois reconnect ;)


    Startling as a chipper voice comes from within the depths of the mist, Paperpaw squints against the reflecting white air to see a cautious seeming Darkclanner. "Wait this is Darkclan territory!?" She calls back in surprise, whipping around to see that she had avtually wandered over the border. Far over the border if she was nearing Darkclan camp. "What the heck ... I didnt realise Id walked so far sorry man!" Night seemed to be settling up ahead and she looked curioudly at the tom. "You think you could ask Rosestar or Tulipblaze for a nest for two apprenices to stay in for the night?"

    Fog rolled in heavily as evening drew closer, causing DarkClan territory to become almost impossible to navigate if one was not familiar with the terrain. A dark tortoiseshell form was visible as it drew nearer, eventually coming into full view and recognizable as the DarkClan leader herself. WindClan scent touching her nose, she frowned lightly, mildly intrigued to set her sights upon two juveniles. "What are WindClan apprentices doing in DarkClan?" While the worst of the famine was over, and most of the violence caused by it forgotten, Rosestar still tingled with nervousness at the idea of them snooping around. Did Jasperstar hold a grudge against her for her actions during the heat?

    //i just realized that if dusk gets his name tomorrow and this is happening in the future, he'd already be dusksparks. whoops.


    Dusksparks looked up as Rosestar approched. "Rosestar! Apparently she got lost and wandered here. She wants to stay the night, and think it'll be the best idea! After all, I doubt she would be able to find her way in the middle of the night." He told the leader. It wasn't as if he was fond of the Windclanner, but simply because she was a young apprentice without a place to sleep for the night, and everyone should have a safe place to sleep. "If not the camp, at least let her sleep in the church or the monster skeleton." He replied. If she wasn't going in camp, Dusksparks thought it was only fair that he go with her and sleep there too. It could be like a little sleepover! Anything other than the open forest, where predators could roam and the fog and lack of sun made everything cold and wet.

    coming up between the tortoiseshell leader and duskpaw, callalilydreams frowned, studying the windclanner standing before them. hadn't they just tried to take windclan's territory away from them? it seemed strange that there was a windclan apprentice asking for refuge on darkclan territory after that. she looked over to rosestar, wondering what the leader's reaction was going to be, deciding not to say anything, but instead observe.

    [ ooc ] welp sorry for the lateness, i had work, cedadpaw has arrived


    Cedarpaw was remaining silent, allowing Paperpaw to do the talking. "Your fault," He sniped quietly, twitching his tail and sending her a playful glare. "You were leading the way. I blame you entirely." He met Rosestar's gaze steadily, lifting his chin and the corners of his lips turning upwards into a small smirk.


    "Hello, Rosestar. As Duskpaw says, Paperpaw thought it'd be a good idea to go out and explore, thus we got lost." He tried to explain, although he didn't really know the actual reason Paperpaw wanted to get away from WindClan for a while.


    explore in darkclan territory? were these apprentice's really that dumb? okay, maybe cedarpaw was, but calla suspected that paperpaw probably wasn't. however, she remained mute, instead, turning to rosestar to see what the tortoiseshell leader would say in response.


    "Hey! Your nose is better than mind so dont pin it on me." Paperpaw laughd at Cedarpaw, startling when a voice or two come up on her blind side. The voice she had heard at Fourtree what seemed moons ago made her tense up. Sure these cats had tried to steal from them but it didnt matter to her - she needed time away from Windclan and just happened across Duskpaw.


    "Sup Rosy." She says casually, like he knew the leader at all. "We're just two apprnetices looking for a camp to stay for the night." She considered Duskpaws option about the monster skeleton but knew it eas far away from the border. "That place is too far, we just need to stay somewhere protected for a few hours. We wont cause any trouble." She said sincerely, fixing Rosestar and Callalilydreams with a firm stare.

    Two of them? Gaze narrowing faintly, the dark she-cat watched them both momentarily, as if trying to depict the signs of an ulterior motive. Finding none, she twitched her whiskers and gave in to the motherly instincts that tugged her. "We will escort you to our camp for the night. You will sleep in our nursery, where my queens can keep an eye on you. We will return you to Jasperstar first thing in the morning." She suspected Jasperstar would have his own punishment for two apprentices "exploring" another clan's territory, so Rosestar herself would choose not to act harshly upon them.

    if she were a more sociable feline, callalilydreams figured that she would probably be snickering with amusement at the two curious windclan cats, but instead, she simply nodded her head, observing the two. exploring my ass, she thought to herself. she suspected that jasperstar wouldn't be too thrilled to learn that his apprentices had run off into their enemies territory, but it was far too dark to send them back to their own camp now, and figured that rosestar's judgment was best. ff-follow muh-me, the ginger tabby stuttered, gesturing for the cats to follow her back to camp, where she would lead them to the nursery.

    Wait a second...."Hey, you're the one Windclan cat! From the fight! Cedarpaw, was it?" He exclaimed. Quickly looking to see how the injuries were holding up, he was relived to find that they were healing nicely. "Actually I'm Dusksparks now! So how have you been doing, I was curious on how everything turned out! What's been going on in WindClan?" He said to the tom as they started to walk back to camp, before turning to the molly. "You must be Paperpaw! It's nice to meet you." He told her.

    "I was about to argue that I don't have better nose, but I'll take that as a compliment, instead of an insult to my ability to lead us home." Cedarpaw muttered in response to Paperpaw's retort, although his eyes shifted to Rosestar when she began speaking again. Oh, boy, Jasperstar would be pretty angry, he was all gung-ho about borders and all that. Well, oops. Guess the old guy would have to deal with it.


    He gave Callalilydreams a polite smile as he told them to follow, turning to Dusksparks. "Nice to see that you remembered me," He said, walking alongside Dusksparks. "Really? Well, congratulations. And you're lucky - I'm not getting mine for a few moons at the least." Despite Cedarpaw's many attempt to simply force his body into aging up a few moons, he couldn't. Oh, well, guess he'd have to keep trying.


    "Prey is coming back, we're finishing up with rebuilding the camp, and we've got some new kits and stuff." He gave the basic rundown, seeing as nothing else that was extremely drastic had happened. "But I'm worried about leaf-fall and leaf-bare - the prey didn't start coming back that long ago, but what if it all goes to ground quickly?"


    [ ooc ] damn cedar when did you get so smart and worried

    Surprised that it had worked, Paperpaw trailed behind a stutterimg ginger pelted femme as she led them back towards their camp. Really? A nursery? Easy targets, unprotected, tired queens. Glad her ploy had worked, Paperpaw kept her amber eyes sharp and started to mark the territory subtly. If her plan went through she might need an easy escape route.


    You see she came here to clear her mind but it hadnt worked. She needed to kill a family member - maybe if she killed an enemies member then it would be good prep?


    An unusual spike of jealousy reared its ugly head watching Cedarpaw be pally and oh so clever with a Darkclan warrior. Her eyes burned dark and deep. This was the tom who had harmed someone very dear to her dark heart - she would give him the same treatment.


    // ummm would anyone be opposed if paper attempted to claw up printedpaw? :0

    like they have this nice thread so itd be in a different one?

    //go ahead, they're both your character! although dusk might be angry at her for hurting his friend outside of a battle and it's necessary (and feel like cedar was in on it too and feel a bit betrayed)


    Dusksparks nodded at the other tom's words. "Yeah, we're worried about that over here too. The prey's mostly back, but leaf-bare is getting closer and closer, and it's not nearly the amount of prey around this time for any other year. I just hope all the prey isn't killed off again." He told the other, before brightening up a bit. "That's great to hear, and don't worry Cedarpaw, you'll get there! DarkClan has gone through a lot since the battle, including a flood when the rains came back! We now have medicine cats again, which is great. Callalily, the one leading us, is the main medicine cat and I'm actually her apprentice now! I was given my name and became a medicine cat in one gathering, haha! So if anyone gets hurt I know how to actually patch people up now." He told the other, lightheartedly. He was glad they were getting along, the brown tabby was almost starting to feel like they were friends!


    But the molly of the two, he couldn't help but feel as if she wasn't the most happiest. Was it because she was caught? Because she had to sleep in the Queen's den like a little kit? Because no one was really paying attention to her? But he tried to reach out and talk to her, but she just ignored him! He would drop it for now, but he wanted to at least be on friendly terms with the other - it was good to be on friendly terms with as many people as possible.



    // ok cool!! i just thought there was already quite a bit of drama in darkclan already lmao. Ill go make it! :)

    plus she'll skedaddle afterwards so its like she was never there lol


    Her heart was warring inside. Half of her felt gleeful that she would hurt someone close to this Dusksparks and maybe taint the happiness he seemed to so easily get. She almost felt teary looking at him. So happy! So welcoming! Why couldnt this be who she was instead of some physco planning to kill her cousin!?


    Aware her fur was spiking up aggressively she smoothed it right back down. Luckily a mist had rolled over as her cover. "Cold winds here hm? And you live in caves? Wow that must take a lot of spark, huh Dustsparks?" She grins a little at her own joke.

    /rushed, apologies for short post


    Rosestar allowed her apprentices to chatter about, seeing no harm in their discussion as she beckoned with her tail. "Camp is this way," she informed Cedarpaw and Paperpaw, beginning to disappear into the fog. Her shady pelt already made her difficult to trail, but the fog made it worse if one didn't have the ability to scent after her.
