"All RogueClanners! Gather for a Clan meeting!" Darkheart's voice rang out, clear and low. He could be very loud if he wanted to - it was difficult to get all of his Clan in the same place at the same time. In fact, most meetings were lacking several cats because all RogueClanners - almost by definition - liked to wander through the forest. Darkheart could only ever get most of his Clan to come. The rest were filled in later.
Darkheart let his emerald eyes scan the clearing for who arrived first while he thought of who should take the two apprentices. Skykit would go to Moon, of course. The two already seemed close enough. Petal would go to... perhaps Libido? But then, Solarclaw was a wonderful mentor as well and free to teach. "They could both teach the new kit," he supposed. And of course the Deputy spot had been somewhat absent because of how little Pandapelt was around "I miss her," Darkheart thought - he let himself feel one throbbing heartbeat and then continued to plan. Moon would make a wonderful deputy... And of course Darkheart would have to ask both Petal and Skykit about names. Especially Petal. Luckily there was time. |

Moon emerged from the bracken tunnel, just at the tunnel of the camp. He'd been watching over things that went in and out of the tunnels throughout the morning when he'd heard his leader call. He sat near the middle, a few other cats he hadn't bothered to socialise with around him. The Clan looks emptier than ever. Perhaps most of them are away. he suggested to himself silently whilst scanning through the cats that were there already. Two to be precise. Because they all left the clan for a better clan. Or probably the good for nothing Touslepelt. he thought absent-mindedly. The whoe allegiance thing between Rogueclan and 'New ShadowClan' was hard to make out. Touslepelt seemed to be running things with Darkheart but he wondered how long it would take for either of the cats to try and overpower one an other; he supposed they were as powerful as eachother and both playing coy until they had a safe position. The black furred and hazel orbed tom turned his attention back on his Leader and waited for the rest of the cats to gather... or for Darkheart to start.

Skykit walked up, her fur washed cleanly, and gleaming almost blue in the little light. She knew what was going to happen, and wanted to look her best.
Truthfully she looked...different. It was painfully obvious she was not a kit, but what she was was another matter.
She looked fragile, not smaller than most cats her age, just slender, and softer somehow. It was deceptive, as there was strong muscle beneath her skin. Her ears were back, not strange for a cat, but since they had been washed, they seemed to be just a touch longer than others. Her fur was so pale white and delicate it didn't seem as though she could stand there and not shiver. And her eyes glowed in the middle of this, like blue stars.
She didn't look completely uncatish, nor did she look ugly. Just different. Almost as though she wasn't born here, but in the sky....
Skykit, for that matter was not cold; while her fur looked useless against it, it actully worked a bit. And she for one, liked the cold. It helped her think better.
She came to a stop close to Darkheart, and dipped her head in respect, somewhere inside her softly destroying a wish to be his apprentice.
OOC: Ignore that....she just admires him.

OOC: lol, got it!
Petal hadn't even spent a night in the Clan - she had only just arrived. And she still wasn't sure who was who. As she trailed Skykit into the clearing, she was glad to see cats whose names she knew. Darkheart, the powerful leader, of whom she was terrified (but Skykit wasn't). Moon, who was kind to the new cat. Skykit, who had immediately become Petal's best friend. Petal knew what this ceremony was for - Darkheart had explained. She and Skykit both were going to become apprentices, and get new names. The loner kit was worried about that - Darkheart had asked her to think over whether she wanted to remain Petal, be Petalpaw, or be something completely different. "Petal" wasn't very much in the nature of the Clan, and it was clear from his tone that he wanted her to change it. But what else could she be? She was Petal. It was her name. Perhaps something like a petal but less girly? Leaf? That was too... simple. What about some type of nighttime flower? But there was no such thing. Petal sighed, but then her orbs fell on Darkheart and she was excited again. She was going to be part of a Clan.

A brown form trailed in through the camp entrance, green eyes blinking once or twice in the sunlight. A long, skinny snake was dangling in the tom's jaws. He had purposely beheaded it, in order to save the trouble of avoiding it in order to not get poisoned by he venom produced from it's fangs. Libido carried the decapitated fresh-kill to the very small - which was acceptable because they were few Clan members actually in RogueClan - pile of prey others had already began to stock and tossed it. He turned toward his leader, Darkheart and walked to where the tiny group was congregating. The young warrior had heard the call just as he was finishing off the serpent, and he immediately sprinted back toward camp, which didn't take him very long at all considering how fast he could run. Libido sat down beside a black tom known as 'Moon', just about a tail-length away. He had been out and about lately and since he was a newer member of RogueClan he still had yet to learn all the cat' names by heart. |

Skykit heard the member of RougeClan come up behind her slightly, but didn't turn around and look. It was not her business. Her business was waiting to be made an apprentice, and this did not affect her.
Being curious never was Skykit's strong suit.

Darkheart's eyes - a vivid, unavoidable green - flicked over the group. There were four felines, all looking intently up towards him. There were a few more to come, some on their way and some, surely, not. So Darkheart didn't see the point in waiting. Everyone he really needed was present, although he had wanted Solarclaw to be here. Well, Libido could relay everything important to the cat who would be he co-mentor. This was good enough.
"Cats of RogueClan, I have a couple of cats who need to be apprenticed, and a few other things." Here his eyes found Skykit and Petal - they both looked eager. "I want to say something first. You all might think that because we are few we are weak. But keep in mind that we are the most purely strong. We aren't soft or delusional like the Forest Clans. We aren't alone or disorganized like the loners or Touslepelt's makeshift army. We are RogueClan." He glared into his warrior's eyes - the two that sat before him. Moon was his most trusted warrior (except, obviously, Pandapelt) and Libido had made a wonderful first impression. It was a good group to speak to.
OOC: I'll allow for some reactions, then go on...

Moon's tail swished sideways, and he met his Leaders glare. With the same harness but with the same deep affection for his Clan. It was true, however threateningly small Rogueclan seemed to get it was still as strong as ever. he turned his dark head to the two em quiapprentices, Never forget, a small group of cats can wipe out an army of thousands if they put their minds to it. A clan can work as one mind. he told them quickly.

Moon is already good at a job he doesn't have, Darkheart noted approvingly. He was in a strange mood - he knew very well that the size of his Clan made it an easy target for any other group of cats... and yet this particular ceremony was lightening his black pessimism. The Clan life was continuing. There was a plausible good side to this, as well. He could watch his warriors with more care and see who was truly loyal to him. Because, as he well knew, RogueClan was the place for, well, rogues. His own brother had left the Clan for another, back in the glorious hight of RogueClan. But no matter.
"First, and foremost, I have something important to announce. RogueClan needs a deputy, and I have found the perfect cat for the job." He flicked his eyes over the group, an almost teasing air about him as he paused. It was fun to make them wait, and he was sure they knew he was taunting them. There were two warriors here, so both of them, surely, were hoping beyond hope to be chosen. Ambition wasn't foreign in RogueClan. After a sufficient rest, Darkheart continued. "Moon, would you like to accept this position?"
Petal's young eyes were excited. She had never belonged to a Clan before, so she had only heard rumors of the life and inner ceremonies of the Clans. RogueClan's, it was said, were the most down to earth - so Petal could only wonder what the other namings were like. She also didn't know what to do... probably just wait until Moon accepted his position, then cheer? Or should she congratulate him at all? I'll wait and see what everyone else does, she decided. She loved this Clan already - hopefully she would do the right things to make them love her back.

Skykit smiled, showing sharp fangs. Moon would make a good deputy, she knew. Her clan was rebuilding itself, and that was all she had wanted.
Petal seems to be very admiring, judging by the longing and sparkle in her eyes, thought Skykit. Good; she won't be leaving then.

Solarclaw quickly went toward the meeting. He was late because of the long hunt he had. I must remember to collect all the prey I had buried back there. Solarclaw thought. Solarclaw continued to look and enviously stare at Moon. Solarclaw had alwas had very high ambitions since he was a little kit. He didn't know it but he was flexing his claws in anger readying to kill the next cat who would dare anger him.

Solarclaw - just the cat Darkheart had hoped to see. He looked angry, probably because he had both missed the start of the meeting and not been chosen for deputy. What a pity he hadn't arrived in time for Darkheart's little moment-of-suspense. The black tom leader's eyes only briefly stopped at his late warrior. It would have been fun to make a scene but RogueClan was not the type of group to really care. Maybe he had been hunting, though Darkheart wasn't at all willing to bet on that. Whatever. Darkheart's eyes went back to Moon, waiting for a response. A moment longer and he would start the apprenticeships anyway.

Phantom just sat intently in the back. listning to darkhearts words. He didn't really care, because he wasn't included in the ceremony . But he sat there still just listning to him.
OOC: ick, bad post

Moon's dark head turned back to his leadersand he stared into his almost opaque eyes. I do. he miaowed clearly. The last thing he wanted was to start thanking everyone and anyone in sight. It wasn't him.
He curled his tail around hind paws and waited for the ceremony to continue. The tom turned his head to look at the back at the late Solarclaw. He seemed angry that he himself hadn't gotten the position as Deputy. To be honest, he didn't care. Moon looked back up at Darkheart, waiting to find out who got which apprentice.

Darkheart didn't waste time explaining his actions or justifying them. He moved on quickly after Moon agreed. "I would like Skykit to join me in front of the Clan." He blinked, then directly asked, "Would you like to go by Skypaw or just by Sky for the duration of your Apprenticeship?" Darkheart hated the idea of the leader naming his or her warriors - so he simply let them choose their own title. It didn't matter to him. He did hope that Petal would go by something a little more... dangerous sounding, but didn't have much personal stake in the matter. Having a Petalpaw in my Clan would be embarrassing. But she probably will keep her name short; she's a loner by breeding.
