Truth Beneath the Rose [open]

[Deleted]

Rosepaw gave a small grin. She'd never quite smiled at anyone like that before, but it felt kind of nice. She saw Nightpaw's eyes flickering between her and Mockingpaw, his eyes practically sparkling.

Meanwhile, Mockingpaw was laughing it off. She got the feeling Mockingpaw spent more time making light of everything, even it wasn't even negative in the first place. "I guess we are!" She exclaimed. If she was weird and cats like Fawnpaw and Pondkit were normal... Then normal was lame! Who'd want to be normal?

[Nightpaw]

Nightpaw laughed at Mockingpaw and Rosepaw's responses, then he found a chance to start a joke. He turned to Mockingpaw, obviously faking a hurt expression as the apprentice only said Rosepaw's name. "The best cats are weird, huh? Oh I see how it is. Guess I'm not one of the 'best cats'." Dramatically, trying to be a bit silly, the tomcat flung his head back and looked troubled. "It seems I'm left out. You two will have to carry on the weird legacy without me. Mockingpaw doesn't think I'm good enough. My hopes and dreams have just been crushed of ever being the weirdest cat alive...."

His smirk was clear to see, however, Nightpaw's acting unable to be rid of his grin.

[Mockingpaw]

mockingpaw's grey gaze fills with laughter as she looks at the two apprentices. she giggled at nightpaw and joined in. "oh, definitely, you're not one of the 'best cats' by far." she says, snorting. "rose and i will climb to the peak of weirdness together! and night can carry our prey~. and maybe we can teach night a little bit about being the most weird." she says, then laughing out loud.

"and rose and i will rise to become the weirdest of them all~!"

[Deleted]

Rosepaw snorted. "I think we can call it a draw and settle us with being a weird trio." She laughed. It was strange. She didn't think she'd ever laughed before. Her chest hurt a little from the strange reaction, but... In another way... It felt so... Right. She could deal with a little chest pain if she got to feel like this, hanging around Nightpaw and Mockingpaw, despite having just met the two of them.

"But that doesn't mean we can't teach each other the ways of weird!"

[Nightpaw]

As Mockingpaw started to drawl on and on with the joke, Nightpaw couldn't help but laugh at her comments. He feigned hurt, as best he could with a wide grin from the hilarious show, to continue as well. "A prey carrier?" he snorted, giving his tail a playful lash. "Weell... whatever it takes to become weird."

At Rosepaw's conclusion they should be a trio instead, Nightpaw hummed contently and gazed at the sky thoughtfully. "A trio, eh? You have my vote." he purred teasingly. Then, he looked back down towards Rosepaw and Mockingpaw. "Guess that would make us the Trio of Weidos."

[Mockingpaw]

mockingpaw snorts again and swipes her ear with her paw. "the trio of weirdos, huh? maybe we should make it a clan. a clan of weirdos. and it's weird because there are only three cats in the clan." the black and white cat snorts again. "weirdclan."

[Deleted]

Rosepaw grinned. "That sounds like the best idea I've ever heard." She purred, with playfulness edging her tone. Maybe they'd be a little different. But if all cats were like the cats she met aside from these two, she didn't want to be normal. 

She laughed. "We're just a triad of special snowflakes." She joked. 

[Nightpaw]

Nightpaw could not stop himself from snorting at Mockingpaw's comment on their new clan. "Well, we only need three members!" he argued playfully, ears twitching with amusement, and eyes glittering with his joy.

That summed it up. The three of them were friends now. Nightpaw never really... had friends before. He was not close with anyone. Not his mother, or any of his siblings, or... just anyone. It was always a nice thought, and Nightpaw had hoped that someday, someone would look past his logical and knowledgeable thick head to see someone they could befriend underneath. But no one had. Until... now... or, besides the fact the speckled white-and-black apprentice had yet to pull the 'oh yeah, I know like ten billion things and like to talk about those ten billion things. would that annoy you?'

He wouldn't pull that yet. "Special snowflakes," Nightpaw meowed after leaving his... rather depressing thoughts. He flashed Rosepaw a bright smile. "I like it."

[Mockingpaw]

mockingpaw purrs loudly, eyes flashing with playfulness. "the ultimate triad. the ultimate clan. iiiiiit's... nightpaw, rosepaw and mockingpaw~!" she exclaims triumphantly, springing up to her paws and holding her chest up high. with a breathy laugh, she falls back to the ground and winks at the two felines.

[Deleted]

Rosepaw grinned at Nightpaw's comment. Yeah, these two? She wished more cats were like these two. She wondered if this made them all friends. She... Didn't really know what the 'rules' of friendship were. She hoped this made them friends. It would be.... Really nice to have friends.

Rosepaw laughed at Mockingpaw's sing song tone of their little group. "Ain't nothing like it!" She added in a playful tone. She couldn't help but smile as Mockingpaw winked at her and Nightpaw. Mockingpaw was so ridiculous but... In a good way. Nightpaw seemed to be more subdued and thoughtful than the other two, but he was still fun.

[Nightpaw]

This was the start of friendship, right? Because this seemed like the beginning of something amazing.

Except, how long were they going to draw out how weird they were? Certainly they had deduced this rather enough. Even if it was funny, when would Mockingpaw and Rosepaw start to grow tired of their constant comments like this?

He swallowed uneasily, eyes dropping to his paws briefly. Then, his gaze rose to offer them both a smile. "Well, I think we've decided we're all pretty weird." he teased in a good-natured tone. "So... I guess that makes us all friends. What else do friends do besides remind each other how weird we are?"




*tosses hands in the air* another post with no effort! (ಥ﹏ಥ)

[Mockingpaw]

mockingpaw giggles at rosepaw's comment, flicking her long tail and purring excitedly. she pauses to listen to nightpaw and tilts her head to the side, mischievous grey eyes glinting with a newfound idea. "we could... go out and explore! extend our territory!" she says in a whispered yell, making it seem like a much bigger deal than it was.


EDIT: @roselightning - i meant extend weirdclan's territory! heehee

((*HEADDESK* I NOTICED HOW STRANge and drawn out the interaction seemed. I didn't know why though ARGh my terrible social skills leaking into my characters XD

((*COUGH* Mockingpaw  regardless that's how rosie's going to interpret it anyways so it's fine XD

Rosepaw shrugged in response to Nightpaw's query, given that they were... Moving on from their current topic of conversation. She'd never had friends before, so she wasn't entirely sure what things friends did. She supposed she sort of knew they hung out, maybe played games....

But again... She was lacking experience. Then Mockingpaw proposed a solution.

Rosepaw tilted her head. "Don't we already know the territory pretty well? And where would we even extend it from? A lot of the land that borders Treeclan isn't neutral territory."
