    Wasp slinks up to the Darkclan border, the underbrush rustling under his paws. As he sits, his long tail wrapping neatly around him, and patiently he waits. Maybe I should've done this a long time ago. Maybe it would've made things easier. Flicking his ear, Wasp dismisses the thought. One can not do anything about it now. Just.. wait. His many moons as a loner have left him entirely to his own thoughts, alone. With no one to talk to, Wasp had gotten very comfortable with silence. It's time for some change. This will be good. He reassures himself, as listens for any sounds of the cats he had heard of so often. Let's hope they like me...

    Newtpaw felt distrust stirring deep inside him as he approached this unfamiliar tom, the scent on him smelling so much like the air and wind that Newtpaw knew he wasn't from a Clan. WindClan didn't smell just of wind, they had rabbits and particular scents of their other Clanmates plastered to their pelts.


    "Can I help you?" the young apprentice asked formally as he stepped closer to Wasp, stopping a fair distance away from him and narrowing his eyes. "This is DarkClan." he informed the other, the thin tom fluffing up his fur in order to seem larger next to the loner.


    The wide-set tom gazed down at the apprentice with curiosity. "Hello, My name is Wasp. I was wondering if I might be able to join your clan." He rumbles softly, his head tilted. Wanting to ask more questions, Wasp holds his tongue. He hasn't seen a cat in quite a while, unfamiliar with company. It makes him uncomfortable, but he knows that can change with time.


    //you're totally fine Evren! Our HPs Lilystar can't always make it to all threads so you can start rping in the clan as if Wasp is accepted already!

    A.k.a, you don't need to wait for permission, just jump right into some open threads in the forum (if you ever want a thread with twilight here or have any questions about trad, hmu i'd be happy to help!)


    Practically materializing out of Newtpaw's shadow, the dark hued molly with specks of white like stars in her pelt hold eyes just as cold as the night. She looks over the stranger, listening to his request and introduction. After all the recent...issues with Bloodclan, it would be difficult for any loner to easily find a place in the clan. However, the clan needed strong warriors. More especially, cats not related to Lilystar's increasing bloodline. "What makes you want to join our clan?" she would ask, adding curiosity to her voice to sound less like an interrogator should that scare the male off.

    // welcome to dc! sorry for the late reply (holiday :p) as twi says any character is auto accepted into clans but joining threads are still fun! <3


    Paces behind the apprentices, a wiry white female emerges, green eyes drinking in the newcomer. He looks in good spirits for a loner. His soft rumble of a purr and lack of Bloodclan scent immediately draws her to him as a safe cat. Had he been Bloodclan .... she let's Twilightpaw and Newtpaw handle the questions, curious to hear his answers.


    Darkclan didn't have the best reputation as of lately, nor had they had much good luck. Wasp would be giving a life of solitutde for one with endless perils.

    Wasp regards the new cats with slight wonder, noticing the authoritative energy that seemed to radiate from the white she-cat. He dips his head respectfully to her, as he observes the three cats closely from large, hazel eyes. Their distinct smell has floated over to him now, as he takes it all in.

    "Things tend to be too lonesome and troubling when you only work alone." Wasp murmurs, tilting his head. "I've grown to believe it'd probably be best to find some others to settle with. More could get done, faster, when together." He turns his head slowly to monitor his surroundings, for the second time. Never can he be too careful.

    "You certainly would not find yourself alone in Darkclan." Lilystar chuckles, tilting her head to gather more information on the shorthaired tom. He's wary, alert, respectful. All the aspects she looks for in potential joiners. He would have to adjust to a life without solitude, of being constantly surrounded by others, but he's a tough looking tom. He could handle it, and Darkclan needs all the paws it can get. "Darkclan has our customs, our ways, that vary from loners. There are rules in place. Do you feel you can abide by them?"


    Her green eyes seek his hazel for any sign of deceit.


    /Lily can change his name in camp! :)

    //Awesome thank you!

    Wasp nods, "I can." The tom stands, his wide shoulders smoothing, and his ear push forward. Only speaking in small, short phrases makes it easier for him, at the moment. It'll take some time to get used to talking more.


    His large paws feel the soft undergrowth, such a large change from his old home. This clan would be a fresh start. Without twoleg trash, and sleeping next to thunderpaths. A small shard of hope embeds itself in him, as he considers the option.

    "We'll make sure of it." She says lightly, impressed by this loner so far. Now, to see if he has the skills. She glances to Twilightpaw and Newtpaw with a gleam in her eyes. It vanishes as she looks solemnly to Wasp. "Follow me." And like that, the white femme vanishes into the Darkclan surroundings, racing ahead, feet pounding on the ground. If he can't keep up to our camp, he can't keep up with our lives.


    The cream color tom blinks in surprise, before thundering after her. His heavy paws hit the ground as fast as he can, trying his best to keep up with the lithe she-cat. Running from twolegs is nothing like this. Wasp tries his best to weave between the low hanging branches and leaves, but speed like this is not something he's as used to. This agility is unlike he's ever witnessed, leaving him impressed as well. Managing to keep Lilystar at a few tail-lengths distance, he keeps his eyes set hard on the direction the femme is leading.

    Dodging swinging branches and leaping over fallen rocks, she glances over her shoulder, eager to see how their new recruit is fairing. His hazel eyes are focused, staring ahead, despite not knowing their direction. She turns sharply, banking deeper into the woods. He's keeping up well, staying light on his feet. She notes in approval, slowing down as the group approaches the entrance to the cave. "Welcome, to Darkclan." Smiling, she leads the way in.


    Darkclan is bustling, patrols forming, nursery crowded with playing kits. Cats of all shapes, forms, age talk in groups. Apprentices practice their fighting moves near the base of the Moss Stone and Lilystar paces past them, leaping up the rocks to stand upon the giant grey rock. Clearing her throat, she gathers their attention. "Your attention please, everyone."



    Wasp skids to a stop, his blood still pumping with adrenaline as she hears she she-cat welcome him. The large, echoing cave is unlike anything he had ever witnessed before, with so much life living in it. He wills his breath to slow as she walks towards a large, mossy stone. Only now does he realize the abundance of cats milling around the cave.


    Overwhelmed by all the cats, Wasp's ears pin to his head, as he looks around with eyes wide. Lost for words, he allows Lilystar to do the talking, I never knew how many cats were here. He looks down at his paws, before looking back up at all the cats now suddenly staring at him. His pelt burns under their eyes, as Wasp tries to act lax. She seems to know what she's doing. Wasp holds his breath silently as he listens to hear what the sleek leader says next.

    One staring cat, amber eyes bright and curious, is Pigeoncheek. He'd been outside the crowded nursery when a newcomer comes into camp. He follows the tom as he walks towards the Moss Stone, where Lilystar is calling together all of the clan. Tail up and curious, the grey warrior trots over with a grin for the nervous looking tom. What was going on?


    [Welcome to Darkclan!]

    Despite his nerves, Wasp still approaches the Moss Stone with a hundred curious gazes piercing him. He does not suit his name, he is not being waspish, lashing out to his new clan mates. She thinks of his quick movements, keeping focused without knowing a direction.


    "Darkclan - new warrior blood is what we need, fresh pairs of eyes. This loner has made a promise to learn our ways, I ask you to help him keep it. Teach him our ways." Green eyes skim around before looking towards the skylight, shining light onto Wasps pelt. First things first, lets change that name. "Starclan knows the name of every warrior in Darkclan. For you to become a warrior, you must lose your loner name. From this moment on, in the eyes of Starclan, your name will be Lightfoot, for your agility."

    Lightfoot


    The new warrior stares up at the leader in slight surprise, with both excitement and wonder for his new name. Lightfoot... Still avoiding his new clanmates eyes, excitement builds in his chest for what is to come. After a moment, he dips his head in thanks to his new leader. This was the right choice, he reaffirmed in this moment. This feels right. I can get used to this life. His tail raises happily.

    Oh! Oh they were bringing in a new member? Cool! He looks the cream shorthaired over with new understandng. Lightfoot huh? The grey warrior comes towards the new clan mate with a grin. "Welcome to Darkclan man! I'm Pigeoncheek, what they call a 'warrior'. I do all the survival stuff, hunting and fighting, for the clan. Hey why don't me and my buddies show you around, huh?" His enthusiasm bubbles, excited to know this new warrior.
