    Alright? Fly felt incredulity coming off herself in waves, but she didn't bother try to hide it. She was too angry for that. Okay? No, everything was not okay, no matter how hard Fly could try everything seemed to fall to little pieces of hurt whenever she tried to fix anything. Despite her efforts, things were not 'okay' and 'alright'. Things were down right miserable.


    Ah, so it was a kit. Just as well, she mused, or I'd be tearing her to pieces. What right has she got to give me advice? Pushing her thoughts aside, however, Fly felt like she could answer the kit's questions... Or at least, she could try. After all, if all things went down hill, she could probably lie to the kit. No! On second thoughts, it was best if she tried not to break any more of her principles - for fear of turning into a monster.


    Summoning her courage, though she didn't know why she needed any to talk to a kit, Fly organised her words in her head. "I am Fly, an ex-Elite cat." Fly began, hesitating a little. There, not so hard now was it? "I'm here to..." Things were beginning to fall apart; she didn't know what she was doing here herself. "... I'm here to, well, have a look around." Strictly speaking that wasn't true, "I-I mean no harm." And that was in no way true either; Fly's paws still itched to attack, despite her mind having finally settled down.


    Thinking as quickly on her paws as possible in order to switch the topic around, the ebony she-cat picked up the closest piece of information she could find about Ristrettokit, and used it against her. Just like how the Elite taught her to. "What are you doing here? Aren't kits supposed to stay in camp?" She accused, narrowing her cold blue eyes.

    [justify]Epiphanyswan watched her eager apprentice on the riverbank, and she could see perhaps excitement in his eyes - well, she knew it was in her own copper-amber pair at least. Straightening up, she decided to get a few things straight first. "Right, all I want you to do is wade into the water until it is about as high as your belly fur." She mewed assertively, flicking her tail for him to come closer.


    Though she knew it would be unlikely, the tabby and white she-cat was ready at any point should Lumberpaw fall into the water or start to lose his balance. She wasn't going to let his first time in the water be an unhappy one; the river was the most important thing in RiverClan, so every cat must learn to love it and feel at ease with it.[/justify]

    [justify]It's that time of year again; NaNoWriMo is here!


    As you might have guessed, I'm taking part in it and so will be a little more inactive than usual. Of course, I'd suggest (if you weren't doing it already) to do NaNoWriMo too, but as it's already the 2nd of November you'd be starting late; and believe me, every day counts!


    So, there you have it - old Nettle's gonna be a little inactive, but I'll try to keep up with roleplays, shop etc. All will be well ;3


    Nettle~[/justify]

    [justify]Good to hear ;3


    I'm going for the big ol' 50k, and so far after two days I've reached 2047 words and counting. 50000 seems a long way off from where I am x3 But since I've only been able to write in the evenings, I think I'm doing okay ^^[/justify]

    [justify]Epiphanyswan smiled at her excited apprentice, but said nothing. She didn't want to interrupt his first time in the water - this was a special thing for any RiverClan cat - and she would only speak when he wanted her to. So far, he seemed okay, getting used to the feel of the water around him.


    When he looked at her for instructions, the tabby and white she-cat complied happily. "Right, I want you to slowly go down into the water until your shoulders are completely submerged." She commanded, and to show what she meant she did it too - though, as a warrior, it was difficult in this shallow water as she was a little too tall, but it was effective all the same.[/justify]

    [justify]Epiphanyswan gazed proudly as Lumberpaw half submerged himself in the water like a pro. But now for the real test, something she'd keep a close eye on him for. It's all very well learning to swim, but you don't want any surprises - like the feeling of having your head underwater, for a very relevant example.


    "Now, just nice and quick so you know what it feels like, go completely underwater and right back up again." She instructed, knowing how silly it might sound, but how important it was to know. "Once you know the feeling of it, then it's much less likely for you to be as panicky should you.. start to drown." The tabby and white she-cat couldn't really find a jolly way of putting it, so sombre it would have to be.[/justify]

    [justify]The tabby and white nodded her head in affirmation. "It wasn't too bad, was it?" She mewed brightly, smiling at her wet apprentice. "Now for the real stuff - swimming." Raising her pale eyebrows high with mild excitement, she winked at him. This would be tricky to get the hang of, but a skill that would stay with him for a lifetime.


    "Swimming is, essentially, like running - it uses the same action, just with your paws off the ground. The water means that you can float, and as you are naturally buoyant then it makes it harder for you not to float." She said as clearly and as loudly as she could, trying to make her point clear. This would be crucial for him to know if he wanted to swim.[/justify]

    ooc; don't worry, I've got NaNoWriMo on at the mo', so I'll be really late replying to threads throughout November x3


    The pearly grey she-cat felt her fiesty side almost get the better of her as she thought about giving him a sharp retort about how of course she could get down, but whilst looking down at the ground, she thought better of it. Sapphire blue eyes showing a little incredulity, she purred gently. "Perhaps, let's see how it goes." She murmured, apprehension underlying her tone.


    With a scramble far too quick for her own liking, she almost slid her way off the boulder, misjudging her weight for what seemed to be the hundredth time. She couldn't wait to have her balance back. Regaining her hunched posture, and trying to keep her chin up she looked at him in the eye with a steely glare which spoke one thing: 'don't you dare say a word.'

    [ ooc: sorry for late reply, but I've been doing nanowrimo ;3 ]


    At least he had his sense of humour. For now - but she could see how nervous he was. Even she herself was nervous - not for her sakes, but for his; only she was the confident swimmer here. "Sure. You just need to... kick off." She mewed, smiling warmly at her apprentice as she tried to find a way to explain it.


    Blinking as she stared at the water, she leapt off her back legs (whilst having only her head remain above the surface) and began to swim in a circle. Just like running. Well... no, swimming was nothing like running, let alone anything else. But there was no decent analogy she could give to Lumberpaw.


    Time to turn the tables. She swam back to him, before resting gently in the water a little ways beside him. "Now it's your turn."

    Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Right, hello all! I have been doing NaNoWriMo (frantically, and thankfully to success!) and also contracted the flu (not such a happy experience) but I am back. Current notices are as follows:


    Minka, my graphics tablet doesn't seem to want to cooperate at the moment, i.e I need to get it some batteries - but you are still my No.1 priority ^^


    I Love Peeta, I know you don't mean to nag - but as I've said, WCRPG hasn't been at the very front of my mind. I am sorry for the wait though ;3 But if you look below then it should have been worth it...


    NOW, this is what I have been able to do - role up role up!

    Epiphanyswan leaned forward as she watched Lumberpaw's performance tersely, her jaw tight in anticipation and nervousness. She knew that she shouldn't be this dependent on him, but she really just wanted him to do well - she wanted to have a good apprentice. She wanted to be proud of him by the time he turned into a warrior. She wanted, she wanted; Epiphanyswan knew she was being a little self absorbed here, but that wasn't going to stop her thinking these things. She just tried to focus on what Lumberpaw was doing. He had to be able to do this. He had to.


    And he did.


    The tabby and white she-cat gave a cheer of encouragement as he began to swim properly for the first time (though the technique was a little off, but they could fix that) and she gave a load throaty purr when he finished his little episode. "Brilliant!" Epiphanyswan exclaimed, almost before he'd even stopped swimming. When he did come to a stop, however, and gave his opinion in short staccato notes, she couldn't help but give a 'woop' of support and exuberance.

    [fancypost bordercolor= transparent]Name: Stork that Levitates Softly


    Age: 28 Moons


    Appearance: Tall, refined, slender; are but a few words to describe him. Stooping, cadaverous, unnerving; these too can be akin to him.


    But what does this 'Stork that Levitates Softly' really look like, aside from the adjectives thrown at him from the thoughts of passers by? Well, he was rather aptly named 'Stork' for his appearance is as such. The tom is tall, almost colossal in his height - with long, loping legs and a extensive neck he can reach quite a vertical distance. He has snowy white fur, cropped closely to his willowy and slender figure, and which gets rather wispy around his face and legs. With an appearance like this, you can see why he may be referred to as a stalk.


    However, though the look has it's charm, it soon wears off. Stork, though slender, is almost ghostly slender: the pristine white fur doesn't exactly help here either. His face is not rounded, more triangular and his slanted green eyes are a little too piercing. With his ethereal, ghostly figure and strange, knowing eyes he can be unnerving. Not to mention the fact that with his height he has a tendency to stoop, whether it be to go beneath something, or to seem less intimidating to others - either one it just ends up as another quirk in his book.


    Personality: Unfortunately, this tom who stands out of a crowd more than some of the most eye-catching cats, is rather self concious. It isn't his fault; he was teased as a kit, but never-the-less it is rather ironic that the cat taller than a badger is the once to be a bit camera-shy. Even so, that won't stop him from trying to fit in with other cats and make a few friends - which he can do quite successfully due to his willing-to-please attitude and loyal heart. The tall fellow is more than happy to go out of his way to help you or do you a favour, as long as he get something in return - usually friendship. You can't do nothing for nothing, after all.


    Stork is a tom who can be viewed as wise - he's often one to drop a fact and pick up any information he can get out of you. He likes to know and learn: it's his favourite hobby. But, sometimes his thirst for knowledge can be a little obsessive, and he has an odd knack of weaselling any information out of you. A good interrogator, but only due to him being a good listener - keen eared indeed.


    History: Stork that Levitates Softly was born into the Tribe of Burning Eclipse, and has never felt the need or want to leave it. This loyalty seems to be unwavering throughout his family, with both his brothers and his father dying due to protecting the tribe; firstly his father died in a battle against the Tribe of Freezing Comets and secondly his two brothers both dying as outnumbered they fought the Elite together. In some ways, he often felt disloyal to the tribe by not fighting for it, but by hunting for the tribe he was just as loyal... wasn't he? At least his mother had thought so, even when other relatives would mock him for not being as strong or powerful as them. Perhaps it was because she too had been a prey-hunter throughout her life, but that didn't stop him from having his doubts about himself. Doubts which he often still holds in his mind now.


    Other: ;3

    [fancypost bordercolor= transparent]Name: Prima


    Age: 13 Moons


    Appearance: This little lady is not one of those dainty dear daisies which can prance about on her tiptoes with a willowy figure and slender body; she's more of a wide-set, broad shouldered, stocky kind of type. Her stature certainly doesn't lend to dancing or flitting through the breeze.


    Aside from her bulky figure, she does look a little average - nothing but a black pelt and amber eyes to show for beauty, or at least at a first glance: they 'black' pelt is jet-black, without a single white hair or fleck to ruin the illusion. As for her eyes, the amber is more of a pale, yellowing gold around the iris, much akin to a buttercup or to the honey of a bee.


    Any other assets to make note of? A general short height, short tail, short whiskers; short all around really. She does have unusually large eyes, perhaps a more redeeming feature of her, and she can resemble that of a stumpy panther - so she isn't all that commonplace.



    Personality: Floaty, daydreamer, stubborn; a few words which are used to describe this she-cat. Intelligent, observant, independent; admittedly these too are words related to Prima, but most tend to stick with the above.


    So, what's this little feather-brain's problem? Well, Prima is just very attached to her thoughts, dreams and ideas - clinging on to them rather viciously. They say she's off in her own world, and they are quite right. Only because she'll always be one step ahead - her thoughts far more advanced and tripping over onto the next level. Even so, she's definitely an airhead.


    But she can go from airhead to hothead in 0 - 60 seconds. If you ignite the flame in her, then she'll burst up in your face; a wild, flamboyant anger. It's then when she might seem to look a little elegant with her graceful movements and eloquent speech as she starts to fight back at you.


    Annoyingly, Prima is as stubborn as a mule, which can end in reckless results - but she likes to prove her point, and if it's wrong she'll right it to make herself be the one in charge. An independent young she-cat with a bite and a certain disregard to social conventions and rules.


    Odd, as she is, it is her intelligence and observance which makes her what she is. So, at heart, she's just a very nice cat with a few persona quirks.


    HP / HP Relations: Though she may not be a HP as such, her relations are endless. She is the daughter of Space (ScarClan healer, who has recently been demoted) and Reinpaw (Now Reindeer).


    Reindeer here being that famous ex-shadowclan cat who has been going around... extending his family. Thus creating more side relations for Prima, though I am not sure of his own heritage.


    As for Space, she is the daughter of Flurryfall and Clouds, both of which have many, many relations.


    So all in all Prima is extremely HP related, and I think she's a generation five cat.


    Why: I feel that I need to roleplay Prima more and get her into plots, making myself more active in the ScarClan area. I'm fond of her, and have been trying to get her a mate for a while now, but nothing seems to have fitted or followed through - so I'm looking for a plot that can last and be a success; this plot seems perfect.


    Roleplay sample: I'm not sure if you want one with Prima, or just a general roleplay sample: so I'll give you both ;3
