Situated where he was, Webpaw hadn't expected anyone in particular to come join him unless it was Blossompaw dragging Spottedpaw out of the den for the meeting. However, that wasn't what happened. Instead, it wasn't an apprentice that joined the silver tabby but a kit. Specifically it was Vinekit, her black and white fur and cloudy eyes distinctive from the other kits. It was also quite distinctive because not many other kits actually left the nursery when Rosestar called a clan meeting. Even the more restless ones close to their apprentice ceremonies tended to be corralled by the queens but it looked like Vinekit had been able to slip past. Webpaw smiled at the she-kit and brushed his tail against her flank to let her know what side he was on.

"I'm sure we're all making a horrible racket," Webpaw said, remembering one of the elders telling him that after losing her eyesight during a training accident her hearing had become significantly better. Normally kits were kept strictly away from clan meetings for obvious reasons but Webpaw's limbs felt heavy with exhaustion from his night long hunt and the excitement of finding Twotone. He simply didn't have it in him to tell off Vinekit for being curious when he wasn't much better. "The stranger's name is Greypaw. He's joining us now." Reaching over, Webpaw hooked a paw gently around Vinekit to guide her over to him, sitting up as he did so, settling the black and white kit down between his front paws facing toward where Greypaw stood. Maybe he was making sure she couldn't run off but who needed to know that? "I met him on my midnight patrol with Rosestar. He's very nice. If you'd like I can take you to meet him after the ceremony, so you can get to know him." Curling his tail around his side, Webpaw watched the clan around his new friend.

'A kittypet? We can't let him in the Clan! He'll spread disease! He'll make us all sick!'

Ears perking, Webpaw looked out at the clan and...of course. Spottedpaw. Webpaw gave a soft sigh. She wasn't the best at the whole open mindedness thing...she tried sometimes...at least Webpaw thought she did. But oh well. Amber eyes skimmed the rest of the clan looking for signs of agreement. Sharpening glares, flexing claws, tensed muscles. Hopefully Spottedpaw's seed of unhappiness about Greypaw wouldn't spread...

"Don't listen to her," Webpaw murmured to Vinekit, "she's just scared. A lot of cats are right now but that's ok. They'll learn. Different isn't bad, just new."

It wasn't often Blossompaw was so dead to the world that she didn't immediately wake up. In fact, she was one of the last apprentices to rise up, eyes blinking blearily and paws still heavy. She'd stayed up half the night waiting for Webpaw to get back from his patrol with Rosestar so he could tell her about it, but had ended up falling asleep accidentally.

She was paying for it now. Still feeling asleep, Blossompaw practically zombie-groaned her way into the clearing, wincing from the bright sunlight. The Clan was tense and agitated, but that didn't matter to her. She squinted and looked around, searching for one pelt in particular. She found it, hiding away in the shadow of the Highboulder.

The tortoiseshell made a beeline straight for him, almost tripping over her own paws. Webpaw had wee little Vinekit between his paws and seemed to be talking to her. "...If you'd like I can take you to meet him after the ceremony, so you can get to know him."

Blossompaw announced herself with a groan and pressed herself up against hims side, practically burying her face into his shoulder. "Introductions later. Sleep now." she whined, ready to drag him back to their den if he didn't come willingly. His scent was almost as familiar and comforting as Spottedpaw's or her mother's, and just having him near was already sending her back to the land of dreams.

CROWPAW

And all of your weight, all you dream
Falls on me; it falls on me
And your beautiful sky, the light you bring
Falls on me; it falls on me

The sun was just starting to rise as Rosestar turned away from Crowpaw, Sparrowpelt, and Onyxfeather and leapt onto Highboulder to make her announcement. ‘That decides it, then,’ the black tom thought to himself, padding a bit closer and seating himself in his usual position next to Sparrowpelt as their leader’s call echoed throughout the camp, rousing some cats from their slumber. Crowpaw had to suppress a yawn, clamping his jaws shut and inhaling deeply through his nose instead as he waited for the cats to gather.

His ears flicked back at a call of protest- Spottedpaw, he thought was the cat the voice belonged to, though he couldn’t quite see her from where he sat- and he understood her concern. There were few good stories about kittypets, and they could only hope this one turned out to be okay… Though a slight wry grin tugged at his lips at the mention of sickness. If the newly named Greypaw was sick, Sparrowpelt would have noticed. A sick kittypet would be no good to the clan, after all. And with newleaf already arrived, they would have plenty of herbs for the coming seasons.

Greypaw. The name felt better in Crowpaw’s mind than the tom’s old one- Twotone, or whatever-it-was? He was already starting to forget it; soon most would.

Crowpaw sought to find out the opinions of his clanmates, his green eyes skimming over their expressions in a sweeping glance. His gaze hovered for a brief moment on three in particular, though- Webpaw, with Vinekit between his paws and Blossompaw leaning against him. He quickly shifted his gaze back to Rosestar with a straight face, but he felt a pang in his chest that he hadn’t felt before. Was it regret? No, not quite that. Longing? But for what? He didn’t have a name for it, but it ached in his chest. His gaze swept around the camp once more, this time seeking out his siblings, Magpiepaw and Rookpaw, for their companionship. He didn’t spot their familiar black and white pelts; they must still either be sleeping or sitting somewhere Crowpaw couldn’t see, or off doing whatever warrior apprentices did in the early morning.

“I’m gonna go back,” he murmured quietly to anyone who was nearby once the ceremony concluded. As inconspicuously as he could, padded back to the medicine cat’s den.

~~ignore crow he's being mopey cause he thinks he has no friends~~

"Cats of ShadowClan! I apologize for having this so early in the morning-- but all those who can catch their own prey gather beneath the Highboulder for a clan meeting."

Rosestar’s voice tore through the thin veil of sleep that Littlerain had like claws, tearing her head from it’s placed buried into Brightscar’s pelt, and toward the entrance. Sleep-ridden eyes blinked with confusion, but she moved without thought and effort, tugging her paws free with a grunt. “Brightscar, Brightscar geddup,” she meowed, words slurring as she pushed a paw into hier mate’s face, before turning toward the entrance. The longhaired she-cat gave a hard shake of her pelt, before stumbling out into the clearing.

It was the scent of outsider that made her immediately stop there in the entrance, eyes narrowed and ears immediately pricked. It didn’t take much to pick out the stranger, the grey pelt standing out next to Webpaw. The way things were sitting though, she could tell he wasn’t there and being treated as a threat. Littlerain’s ears flateened against her skull, chin lifted and eyes on the leader. The explaination camp, and for a long moment all she could do was stare at her friend, jaw slipping open. Spottedpaw’s voice echoed her thoughts, though maybe not to the same degree.

The words of disagreement, of extreme dislike against the idea bubbled at her tongue, her spine bristling. Her head snapped toward the cat from Rosestar one more, and she didn’t hold back the sternness in her eyes. A kittypet, StarClan help them. At least the last cat Leafstar took in was a loner that had some age to him. Then again, the cat was young. Abandoning him wouldn’t be part of the warrior code. It was purely that idea, that had the she-cat keeping her mouth shut, even if she did let out a disapproving snort. Two moons. Well he wouldn’t survive that long, if he was just there to live off them.

It was the effort of keeping her mouth shut, that prevented the she-cat from cheering. She may not be tearing apart the decision, but she refused to be part of any welcoming him into involvement. Getting to her paws again, she moved toward Onyxfeather, picking out their deputy’s form. “Put me on any patrol that’s leaving soon and won’t have an outsider on it,” she meowed as she approached, not bothering to speak in anything less than her typically loud speaking voice. She would never agree with bringing outsiders in, no matter the reason. She'd have more kits herself if that was what it took.

"Cats of ShadowClan! I apologize for having this so early in the morning-- but all those who can catch their own prey gather beneath the Highboulder for a clan meeting."

Patchpelt’s eyes blinked open lowly, ears pricked, and head tilting back toward the entrance. “Nooo, Rosestar, don’t do this too me…” he mumbled. A paw prompted hit the back of his head, getting a squeak out of the tom. “Move, Patchpelt,” Marshfrost’s voice held nothing back, and immediately he was groanoing and rolling over. Mousebrained sisters. Why did Rosestar want them so early? Sleepy paws pulled him to the den entrance and out into the clearing, till he plopped down in the middle of the camp with a loud yawn.

It took him a bit to even recognise there was a strange scent in the camp. By the time he looked back over his shoulder, Rosestar was explaining. Curiously, he studied the leader, taking in her words the best he could. Well, she had plenty of points as to way it was a good idea, he could live with that. A grin immediately stretched across his face. Hey, apprentice ceremonies were apprentice ceremonies! Looking over his shoulder again, Patchpelt’s tail flicked against his paws. “Greypaw! Greypaw!” He called out, one of the few, clear voices in the gathered cats.

Everyone deserved a chance, and even though it seemed like many weren’t impressed, well, how else would they grow? Sleepily, Patchpelt pulled himself to his paws, and padded toward the new cat, his attention flicking to Webpaw, Blossompaw, Spottedpaw and Vinekit briefly. “Relax, Spottedpaw, I’m sure Sparrowpelt and Crowpaw would have sent him away by now if you were going to get sick,” he meowed, amusement lacing his voice as he looked to the new apprentice, moving toward Iceclaw. “Let’s give him a chance, hey? He might surprise us.”

There was a buzz in the air, Tailchaser could feel it. Something was going on, but he didn't know what, at least not yet. His gut didn't tell him it was time to panic, but he was definitely curious. The tom decided not to investigate alone, so he sought out his apprentice. She didn't have to come if she hadn't wanted to, but the youthful girl was usually up for anything. Once the monochrome feline located Songpaw, the two made their way quietly toward the gathered cats. "Let's stick toward the back," he told her, "Stay quiet and do not draw attention to yourself." His face was stern, serious, and he meant what he said. Whatever this meeting was, he wasn't about to disturb it. He still walked on eggshells around most of the clan, despite having been part of it for over half a year.

Tailchaser had been accepted as just a kit, a new apprentice looking for a home, a place to be trained and become a warrior, a place worth fighting for. He had found all that in ShadowClan and then some, but he still didn't know the majority of the cats, but it was more his fault than there's. While he was usually friendly, the clan's wariness about accepting outsiders caused Tailchaser to keep his head down and his nose out of everyone's business, whether it be good or bad. He settled down away from the others; though close enough to hear. It seemed a stranger would be joining the ranks, an outsider like he was. "Hm," the sound rumbled within his throat as he thought quietly to himself, glancing at Songpaw.

❤Fear

[ sᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ ] — Tailchaser finds Songpaw and the two arrive at the meeting. He remains in the back and keeps quiet, watching the events unfold. He is curious of the new outsider, having been in the same situation. **Permission to PP Songpaw given.

A soft squeak escaped Vinekit's lips when Webpaw picked her up and placed her between his paws. "I'm not gonna cause trouble!" she insisted suddenly. She huffed, her pale face blushing slightly at the embarrassment. Then she froze again when someone suddenly yelled, tilting her head to the side as she listened. "That's... Spottedpaw's voice," she told herself. "Spottedpaw likes to let rumors get into her head too much." She didn't seem bothered by what Spottedpaw said at all. Then Webpaw offered to introduce her to Graypaw. She didn't respond right away, as she thought about it. Then she nodded. "Yes please," she said eventually. "I'll need to know who he is when I become an apprentice. I'm four moons old now, you know. Soon I'll be a real apprentice."

Tension was building in the clan, Webpaw could practically feel it crackling across his pelt. Jewel toned eyes were flashing in glares and even in the soft morning light Webpaw could see several cats apart from Spottedpaw that had their hackles raised and muscles tensed. For his part Webpaw tried not to contribute to the sensation of tension, trying to keep his muscles loose and soft. It wasn't terribly hard considering how tired he felt after the busy night. It had been a long night but Webpaw didn't want to get up and leave the meeting to sleep even though Rosestar probably wouldn't mind. She'd understand but watching Greypaw stand among the divided clan...well Webpaw knew he couldn't leave. There seemed to be a roughly even divide in the clan of those that didn't mind Greypaw and those whom were bristling at the thought. Amber eyes flickered to Tailchaser, another non-clan cat that had joined moons ago. Webpaw was too young to remember it but his mother had talked about it once or twice, tutting at the whole business because it was so improper. Kittypets and half-clan cats were not for ShadowClan, that had been her stern reasoning.

'Introductions later. Sleep now.'

Blossompaw's mumbled words jerked Webpaw out of his mental fog. Perking his ears, the young tom smiled at his sleepy friend as she ambled toward them, eyes mostly closed and tail practically dragging. She totally ignored Spottedpaw and the terse clan, choosing to flop down beside Webpaw, tucking herself up against the small tom, head pillowed on his shoulder. Without meaning to Webpaw purred softly, tipping his head to rasp his tongue over her ear a few times, tail flicking lightly against her patched flank. It was strange for Blossompaw to be so sleepy even though it was early. She normally slept hard through the night and then bounced up, first one up and raring to go as soon as a the sun hit the horizon.

"Already four moons?" Webpaw asked Vinekit, looking down at her, a smile on his maw. "Before long we'll be at your apprentice ceremony."

A soft snuffle from Blossompaw drew Webpaw's gaze back to his sleepy friend. 'Wonder what's got her so sleepy,' Webpaw thought, momentarily distracted from his clanmates, shifting to let Blossompaw lean more comfortably against him. It was sorely tempting for Webpaw to just close his eyes and drift off. Being on his feet all night and then the hustle of getting Greypaw into the camp was catching up with Webpaw, weighing down his limbs and slowing everything down. His breathing was slow and even, matching Blossompaw's and his amber eyes were half closed. It was just so comfortable with Blossompaw's familiar scent in his nose and her warm frame tucked against him. Spottedpaw would probably spy them any moment and come raging over to wake up her sister so Blossompaw could join her crusade against imaginary sickness. Faintly Webpaw hoped she would miss Blossompaw's joining the meeting and just let them sit quietly. Ears perked to listen to the chatter around him, Webpaw floated contentedly between being awake and asleep, head tipping to the side to rest against Blossompaw's. Tensions were high...he should be paying attention...Rosestar might need him to vouch for Greypaw...but he was so comfy...

Still sleepy eyed, Tailchaser asked for her to join him. She stood, and bowed, stretching her limbs out as far as she could, and then her back legs. She had no idea what was going on but she did most of what he asked. They made their way toward the meeting. Tailchaser seemed serious, and her sleepy state had faded and had become solemn. His stern face made her anxious, but she knew it couldn’t be that serious of a meeting. Although she had never paid attention to one, today she listened intently.

A new member? An outsider. She glanced at Tailchaser to read his expression. He stayed mostly expressionless but a low grumble came from him. He glanced at her. She gave him a smile.

No doubt unlike the rest of ShadowClan, Doverain was already awake when Rosestar called the meeting. It wasn't exactly her choice though! Her pregnancy had gotten to the point where her kits practically commanded her life. She peed when they said to, she ate what they said to, and she awoke at the time they wanted to. It sucked, royally.

Even worse was how long it took for her to get to her paws. By the time Doverain was able to heave herself up, the meeting had already started and Vinekit was nowhere to be seen.

Doverain sighed and stuck her head out of the den entrance, bot intending on forcing her way past. That intention changed once she heard the chanting of a Greypaw and saw a stranger standing in front of the Highboulder.

So Rosestar had taken in an outsider? Interesting. The last one to join was Tailchaser, and he was an okay warrior. With this Greypaw's obvious youth, he would grow among the Clan and, in time, no one would be able to tell the difference between him and the other apprentices.

Patchpelt seemed to be all for it, but that wasn't very surprising. He was always a 'go with the flow' cat. "I call dibs on adopting him into the family!" She called out.
