Post by feeling kinda blue on Dec 30, 2015 15:36:07 GMT

Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored.

The thought chased itself around inside of Crystalpaw's head, flitting in one ear, around to go in the other ear and through the twisting spirals of her mind. The tortoiseshell and white apprentice kept up the mantra as she watched warriors walk to and fro across camp. They all looked busy with important jobs to do, heads thrown high with other apprentices tripping along behind them. Crystalpaw envied her peers as they tumbled after their mentors doing important looking things. Tipfeather was out today, stuck on patrol duty which normally meant Crystalpaw got to go along and spend all day out in the treetops, practicing her climbing and jumping. Not today. She'd been caught putting tree sap in Pinestar's nest for a joke and now she was camp-bound for the next three days. So Tipfeather got to go off, apprentice free, and do important things while Crystalpaw was trapped with her own boredom. The young she-cat was sorely tempted to just sneak out...it wouldn't be hard...but Pinestar was laying near his den talking to Half-face and every now and then the older tom looked her way to make sure she was staying put.

'Grumpy old badger,' Crystalpaw thought bitterly, laying her chin on her paws. She'd situated herself beside the apprentice den, half in the shadow of it and half in the sun, just so she could watch things in the clearing. Now though that seemed like a bad idea. She was jealous of her busy clanmates and watching them get to leave camp was making her restless. If nothing else, Pinestar knew how to pick his punishments...he knew being confined to camp would drive her mad.

Groaning in frustration the young she-cat rolled over onto her back and clenched her eyes shut. White paws in the air, belly up, she stretched and tried to work the antsy itching feeling out of her muscles. By the time she'd flopped back onto her side Crystalpaw had only managed to make herself dusty. The itch was still right under her skin and without a doubt she was going to lose her mind. With eyes half-closed, Crystalpaw watched the skinny frame of Deertail amble across the camp to drop a lark in the freshkill pile. He looked loose-limbed and content as he headed back out...Crystalpaw wanted to smack him but that was just her jealousy talking. She wanted to be out there in the trees, running and climbing and hunting...not laying around confined to camp because Pinestar couldn't take a joke.

Getting up, Crystalpaw shook out her medium length pelt and slid back into the shadow of the apprentice den when Pinestar was looking over at Half-face, the pair deep in conversation. Behind the apprentice den there wasn't much space between the back of the den and the camp wall but that suited Crystalpaw just fine. She wasn't a big cat, not like some of the warriors or apprentices, and her fur didn't get too terribly tangled when she slid between the two. Hunkering down, ears perked and alert for approaching pawsteps, Crystalpaw began to dig at the wall trying to keep as quiet as possible. If she could break her way out, Pinestar would never know she'd slipped out. She knew the patrol routes well enough to avoid anyone that might know she was on lockdown...maybe she could find Tigerpaw and convince her to go have some fun? After all, if Crystalpaw wasn't supposed to be leaving camp the she couldn't very well bring back prey could she? Might as well have some fun...

Crystalpaw became so absorbed in trying to quietly break away layers of the bracken and brambles that surrounded SkyClan's camp that she didn't hear the pad of approaching paws...and she didn't notice the shadow falling over her side.

NOTES. Crystalpaw likes to think she's more sneaky than she is...

5 moons • She-cat • Skyclan

The calico kitten yawned once and stretched, looking around the dimly lit den. Her siblings where outside, playing, but Dovekit had slept long for once. Her mother looked at her expectingly and nudged her outside. The kitten ignored the urge to roll her icy blue eyes, as that wouldn't be polite, and made her way to the open spot of the camp. It was busy, seeing as it was new-leaf and everyone was gathering prey now that there was prey. The calico looked around and saw an apprentice sneaking her way after the apprentice den. Huh, how curious. She probably wasn't allowed to leave the camp and was probably trying to sneak her way out. It was her duty as a loyal clancat to stop her! Dovekit trodded determined to the apprentice den and slipped after it. Her small, lean form gave her enough space to not get her clean fur tousled. She found the apprentice digging at the wall, probably trying to make a hole big enough for her to fit in. She didn't seem to notice the kitten. "What are you doing?", she asked, her voice soft yet firm. "I don't think it's allowed to make holes in the camp wall."

'Almost...almost...almost there!' Crystalpaw thought, hooking her claws into the brambles and brush. She was nearly out! Freedom! Sweet freedom! Crystalpaw could nearly taste it! Just one more...

'What are you doing?'

If anyone asked Crystalpaw did not shriek. She didn't. She also didn't nearly jump out of her fur. Tail fluffed up in surprise, Crystalpaw whirled around and stared wide-eyed at the small kit standing behind her. It was a tortoiseshell she-kit, vaguely familiar from being outside the nursery but Crystalpaw couldn't remember her name. A bird, something like that. Lark? Robin? Whatever it was Crystalpaw was so busted.

'I don't think it's allowed to make holes in the camp wall.'

'Think! Think fast!'

"Uh..." Crystalpaw stammered, glancing between her nearly complete hole and the kit. "I...well...I..."

Should she lie? It felt wrong to lie to a kit but...freedom was three seconds away if she could just get the kit to go away. No one would blame her for wanting out of this suffocating camp. There was nothing to do and all of her friends were out doing fun things like training and hunting. But...her momma would kill her if she lied to a kit and her mentor would give her more chores if this got out. Even if Crystalpaw patched the hole later she would still know she had lied...Breaking out of camp was a cinch...lying was not. She couldn't spin a believable tale for the life of her.

Tail drooping and glancing down, Crystalpaw sighed. "I know," she grumbled, sitting back on her haunches and flicking her fluffy tail in irritation. "I was going to patch it later." Sliding her front legs forward Crystalpaw laid down in a sphinx-like pose before resting her chin on her front paws, ears drooping just a bit in disappointment that her grand scheme had not worked. "I'm just bored."

Inactivity was horrible for Crystalpaw. It practically gave her hives...her muscles itched to run and jump...She was young and wild and the world was so big...it needed to be explored. But no. Her mentor had decided she needed to stay in camp because of some harmless little prank. It was ridiculous. All of this pent up energy was bubbling up inside of Crystalpaw and she couldn't do anything about it. Not to mention she hated being told off. It made her feel like a kit listening to their mother tut about leaving the nursery and the dangers of the big wide world. Boring. So boring. With a gusty sigh Crystalpaw looked back at the kit.

"What are you doing out here anyway? Shouldn't you be over there?" Crystalpaw flicked her tail toward the nursery.

NOTES. wow this took me a ridiculously long time and I am so sorry

5 moons • She-cat • Skyclan

The apprentice didn't look too happy that Dovekit had interrupted her, but the kitten was just doing what she thought was right. And that didn't include digging holes in the walls of the camp. The calico sat down and smiled a little. "I'm 5 moons old, that's old enough to walk around in the camp.", she answered, politely. "But if you're so bored, why don't you just go out and hunt or something?", Dovekit suggested. The other she-cat was an apprentice, surely she could just go out the camp entrance instead of trying to sneak out, no? Unless she was punished, ofcourse..

feeling kinda blue - sorry it's so short :')

AUGUST 27TH, 2016

Hi everyone,
This announcement is being made with an extremely heavy heart, and we know it may not be a popular one. However, Alee and I have made the decision that we are going to be closing Chasing the Sun by the end of the month. Originally, we were going to wait till the end of the activity check before making the call either way, as no doubt some of you picked up from my introduction to the check itself. But, after seeing some of the most recent hiatuses and their updates, and talking with a few members who will not be continuing on the site, we’ve decided at this stage in time, it’s the right time to bring things to a close.

Full Closure Explaination Here

VOTE FOR US, RESOURCES & SISTER SITES

Chasing the Sun is a play-by-post roleplay based on the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. We are set in the original forest in an alternative universe from the books, where SkyClan were never forced from the forest and the characters we have known and loved have not existed. We have a 150-word minimum and a sandbox roleplay setting that does not have an overarching plot, only those that members form together. The world is there to shape by the characters than inhabit it, growing the forest into something unique from what we have seen before. With plenty of characters and a community that is always looking for new people to join in the fun, we are always happy to have new faces joining the ranks! Take a look around, and we’d love to have you on board!

key plot updates

THUNDERCLAN VERSES BADGERS
Due to a change of high ranks that is to take place, this plot has been updated and modified. if you were originally involved, please make sure to check the thread and voice if you still want involvement as soon as possible! The Forest Prince is the the current thread leading into the start of this plot.

WIND/SHADOW VERSES ROGUES
Redstar, Rosestar and their fellow high ranks of WindClan and ShadowClan have met on the border of the clans and formed a truce, after it has become aware that a group of rogues has become a threat. Both leaders have addressed this issue in their clan meetings, with Rosestar setting the rule that until the rogues have been dealt with, cats are not to leave camp alone.

WINDCLAN - MEDICINE CAT PLOT
A significant change has taken place in the direction of this plot, and the main post has now been edited to reflect such. We are still looking for WindClan cats to be involved, so if you have a cat you’d like to have something happen to, places are still open.

SKYCLAN VERSES RIVERCLAN
With the border clash narrowly avoided by Pinestar’s intervention, steam has yet to ease, as the SkyClan patrol stand in camp to address the clan getting too ambitious. Meanwhile, with the change in leadership of RiverClan causing discomfort across the clan, there is no doubt that everyone is on edge. Another clash is imminent.
