    [size=8]Colouredstar leapt upon the Elated Seat of Yowling to adress the clan for anoter meeting. An issue had disrupted the last Shopkeeper contest, so they needed a new one. The tom cleared his throat, ready to speak. "Cats of SunClan! Join me beneath the Elated Seat of Yowling for a super awesome clan meeting!" he called, his tail waving happily.


    "I'm sorry the last Shopkeeper meeting was disrupted due to personal issues, but we are gahered here to restart! As an apology gift, I would like to give the Shopkeepers more autority by also giving them the authority to hold a meeting and present knew ideas to the leaders!" Colouredstar explained, bouncing a bit on his paws. "We will also be choosing four shopkeepers instead of two! Well, I will, unless Mountainstar decides to join."


    > RULES~!


    -You must be active or you will not recieve this position! This means actively posting in the clan.
    -Cats must set up a demo shop and persuade Colouredstar to buy! Or any non-competitors.
    -Have fun! :) :)


    What is a Shopkeeper?;
    A shopkeeper is a new high position we are introducing. It is a positionin which cats need to open up a little 'shop' where cats can purchase and trade for items they want/need. Each shop will have their own items, such as rare herbs, delicious freshkill, interesting two-leg items, etc. etc. The shopkeeper's plaza is an underground cave located in the northern border of the camp. They will gather once a moon or so to come up with interesting ideas and present them to the leader!

    [justify][sub]illusions filled the little kit's mind with many things. he could not think straight; it was just so hot out! permissionkit shook from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, splattering sweat everywhere. then he heard something rather... interesting.


    the tomcat padded to the elated seat of yowling. apparently there was some kind of superaswesomeclanmeeting that he had to attend to. but permissionkit did as he was told; being raised by a strict mom. the kitten wished he could be like his dad a little more; hewent by the name of ragdoll and boy was he a slacker! doing nothing all day seemed to please permission. but mom wouldn't let him. ugh! too protective. like always.


    well now, what did colouredstar have to say? some type of high position? well, it wasn't like there wouldn't be another high position in sunclan. right? might as well try my chances at it, the kit thought.


    "colouredstar," the kit spoke, "how many shop partners are we allowed to have?" he did have no clue, whatsoever. he sat down and patiently waited for a reply from his leader.

    Fawnfire padded over and sat beneath Colouredstar. She listened, she found the new rank to be rather cool. Her one aqua and one orange eye glanced around, looking at the other cats.


    Fawnfire wondered how you could become one, she wouldn't mind being one... She couldn't wait to find out who was one, she wondered if she might even have a chance against some of these cats...

    [justify][sub]permissionkit shut his mouth. he felt that one of his leaders was getting pounded with too many questions. he sat back, blue eyes darting around. the bengal was already having enough of this shopkeeper business, and was quite tired of it. peak, this may be a way to get rid of mom! you should at least try your chances at this position! he nodded and glanced back up at colouredstar.

    Curieuxdrift's blue eyes shone with determination as she got to work setting up her new station. Her gaze shifted around quickly, searching for her 'business partner', Velocityinertia. Hastily, she dragged the feather-decorated stones from the old shop over to the new one, and quickly set up a few small rows of catnip.

    Magicpaw, a skilled finder, sat beneath Colouredstar- the tom figured if he got this postition he would be somebody, not just a measly apprentice of SunClan but someone better known and appreciated. Magicpaw found a sack left by a Two-leg kit when it was exploring, Magicpaw was jsut an loner and picked up the thing- knowing it would be usefull one day. It still is, carrying a peice of ribbon, a thing Two-legs wrap around their neck, known to them as a muffler or scarf, a rubber band- don't ask-, and a small razor blade. Magicpaw sat behind the she-cat, his short auburn pelt ruffled in the breeze.

    [justify][sub]permissionkit glanced over at magicpaw with the sac and tilted his head. he got up and took a few strides towards the tom. "sir, may i ask you what that is?" he poked the sack with his left paw. the item looked quite fun to play with, and maybe there were more in the area. it would also possibly be useful to drag items around.

    [size=8]"Shops must be solo, after all, I'm poking for the best shop runner, not partners. You guys are against each other. And you'd best wait until you're a warrior, little guy, this is for them indeed," he explained, his eyes focused on the kit, "But, may you help me judge?"

    Magicpaw looked down, he was pretty small compared to the kit, "Well this is a bag filled with all my findings." He perked his ears and flicked his tail bravely. His pelt ruffled again in the breeze.

    [justify][sub]the tomcat looked away from magicpaw and up to colouredstar. "but colouredstar, i don't just want to be a kit. i want to mean something in this clan. and then maybe my mother will stop pestering me." permissionkit shrugged and turned back to magicpaw. "that's interesting; i've never seen one of them before. anywhat, best of luck to you sir."

    [size=8]After a long, hard think, Colouredstar thought it might be fun to see what kits had in store, "Okay, have a go," he responded, leaping down to the ground to start the competition. "Everyone must set up a demo shop, and I will visit each, and you must persuade me into buying something. Any non-competitors or competitors may also be persuaded and buy interesting things. Basically, I will trade for things I see interest in."

    Magicpaw nodded to his leader, "easy enough." He turned back to the kit, "Best wishes to you aswell dear sir." Magicpaw nodded as he found some space of his own and set down the bag. He was getting set but listening for instructions and clues to get the position

    No partners? Shoot. Curieuxdrift shook her head irritably at Coloredstar's words and started tidying up her stock. Every cat for themselves. She slipped a few of the little trinkets Velocityinertia had made into her items, then cast one more glance at it before heading outside to look for dropped Twoleg items.


    The calico warrior returned a few minutes later with an old Twoleg soda can and a small blanket in her jaws, as well as a beaten-up pair of sunglasses clutched in one paw, forcing her to balance on three paws. She carefully set the items down, making sure to put them in the very front of the items where they would be most visible, then turned around from the small slab of rock to see a few shallow shelves in the stone wall, seemingly formed by years of weathering by water and possibly wind.


    Score! Curieuxdrift thought, grinning. She scooped up her best items - the twoleg stuff, some pretty rocks and pieces of tree bark wrapped in various bird feathers, a couple of bird eggs - and arranged them painstakingly on the shelf.
    "There," she meowed aloud, sitting back in self-satisfaction. Now we'll just wait for the judging to begin, I guess.

    Magicpaw opened his sack as she dragged out each of the items: a scarf, a ribbon, a rubber band, and the little blade- that he sometimes called a mini sword.

    Fawnfire had a smile come across her face. She had her own little stash around here, she went to get it. It was a bag that said ham, it smelled good but she didn't know what it meant. All of her items were in the old brown bag.


    Fawnfire took out crystals of different colors, shoes, catmint, sage, pepper, flowers, cotton balls, cans, turtle neck shirts, turtle shells, and small decorative lamps. Fawnfrire arranged all of them in order onto a checkered sheet.


    "I'm all ready." The she-cat murmured partly to herself and looked at Colouredstar with a slight dip of her head and waited for the test like thing to happen.

    [justify][sub]permissionkit dipped his head in respect to colouredstar. "thank you, colouredstar. i will try my chances." the tom glanced around at the other cats who were setting up their shops. wait -- this was a cave, right? meaning... more places to put more items?


    the bengal kitten looked for such a place. he ventured to the back of the cave. nothing. maybe he could find twoleg debris lying just outside the camp. maybe colouredstar could take him out for a brief moment, just to look for such a thing. but not currently at the moment -- he still needed to seek out a place where he would set his very own shop up. a name for it would come later.


    he dug his claws in the dirt and scratched a rounded place then marked his territory to tell other cats that this place was taken for good. his shop was up against one of the cave's sides, so there wouldn't be that much work going into this. there were some indents here and there in the wall, but there was on particular one that rose off of the ground so permissionkit could jump behind it. sort of like... a cashier. he would make this place comfortable soon enough.


    the kit bounded up to his leader. "you know how you said that there would be four shopkeepers instead of two? does this mean that those final four shopkeepers' shops be one fourth of the cave?" he sat down, licked a paw, and drew it over his ear, waiting for an answer.

    Magicpaw sighed as he dragged a shiny thing out from were he used to live by the city, under the streets, and in the sewer. Magicpaw had the pearl necklace in hi mouth, despretly looking around. He lined the various items in a row, in order in the time he found them.

    [justify][sub]permissionkit looked over at magicpaw. he padded to the apprentice. "your shop is coming along really nicely," the bengal said. "well, at least you have lots of items." the tom shrugged. sometimes he wished he were an apprentice.


    the blue-eyed marvel dragged his feet outside the cave and into the harsh sunlight. some type of colorful pile seemed to catch his eye. he forced his head to turn to the rather large pile. they were... collars? this wouldn't be too bad for the shop. maybe he could even carve some text with his claws into the smooth surface!


    there were all kinds of colors -- ranging from red to purple, light and dark both. if only he had a scak! just then a lightbulb shot into his head. he padded back inside of the cave and ran to magicpaw. "sir, may i use your bag for a moment? i need to haul some stuff to my shop." his bright blue eyes looked at the apprentice happily and nicely, trying to convince magicpaw to let him lend the bag.

    Fawnfire turned to the kit, hearing the kit's question. "I have a bag it you want to use it. You just have to bring it back when you are done." She meowed to the kit, ready to give him the bag it he wanted it.
