(cookie and Jetclaw: Here's a thread for the tag team! Get my beloved bean into some trouble or whatever pleases you. :3 P.S. I read the forum guide of NightClan to work out the standards and territory layout the best I could.)
Softpaw wandered around camp, keeping close to the cave walls and sneaking past his clanmates, though most of them were preoccupied with their normal routines. The truth was, he was tired and bored. A newly made apprentice and awaiting a mentor assignment meant he had very little to do in a night. Because the mentors took on the task of training two apprentices at a time, they had their paws too full to bother with a declawed cat like him. No doubt, he would require extra training. Ever since his promotion, Softpaw had felt awkward in his new den. No one had seemed to notice him much, but he always felt on edge. It had made it hard to sleep around the others.
Now, as he tried to keep his eyes open during his useless stroll, he found himself a few steps from the camp's entrance. Grey eyes widened, blinking rapidly as he peered into the darkness there. A part of him was scared of what lie outside. He had suffered in the wild as a kit and the one perk of the NightClan camp was the bit of security it provided. Another part of him, yearned to venture out. Even some of the kits had gone exploring out there before, so couldn't he brave it as well? His spotted tail swished from side to side as he stood there in a daze.
(The guide is a little outdated, we don't do training pairs anymore in NightClan, it was switched out but the page hasn't been updated yet, NightClan's back to mentors having one apprentice)
Viridianpaw had been sharing some fresh kill with Giantpaw. Viridianpaw had kept to himself for most of his life, only really starting to befriend Giantpaw when he learned the other cat was of a similar mind as him. Plus they were both the same age and Giantpaw was actually a decent fighter. Having him as a friendly rival would only serve to get Viridianpaw on a higher level.
Viridianpaw noted the new apprentice, Softpaw or whatever wandering around by the camp entrance looking up towards the forest that lay above the cavern. It was a cloudy night so it was pretty dark.
He nudged Giantpaw. "Look, that kittypets off staring into space," He grumbled to Giantpaw. "Like he's never seen the forest at night before,"
He couldn't for the life of him understand why he'd been allowed to join the clan. He was clearly way too soft and fluffy, but he'd been found by soft hearts who probably cooed over how cute he was and insisted he had to stay. Now Viridianpaw had to deal with him sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing while the rest of the apprentices did their chores.
"You know, it really sucks that we the actual working apprentices of NightClan, have to watch him do nothing." He whispered to Giantpaw. "It's not fair and he should really contribute."
The idea popped into his head that they could trick Softpaw into doing their chores for them, but then realized he'd likely get praised for making himself useful. No, they needed a way to expose him as a bottom feeder who needed to be put in his place.
They'd need to find a way to set him up to take the fall for something bad. Then Flamingstar would either get rid of him or make him do all the chores as punishment for his foolishness.
Giantpaw looked up from their meal when Viridianpaw nudged him, searching out the kittypet he was talking about. Ah, Softpaw. They had to have given him that name when he joined the Clan. What Viridianpaw had said was probably true. A kittypet didn't often get to leave their dens, and when they did, it definitely wasn't at night.
"Agreed," the huge tom said, scrunching up his nose in distaste and looking away from Softpaw. He was getting secondhand humiliation just from the sight. "It's bad enough we're doing the same chores as all the halfbloods around here."
Giantpaw admired his new friend's taste in cats. He obviously recognized Giantpaw's good bloodline and Softpaw's lack of general good traits because of his kittypet background. But it sort of made him nervous when he thought about how little he really knew about Viridianpaw. The apprentice didn't ask because it would sorely disappoint him to lose this ally so soon, and if he found out Viridianpaw's genes were tainted after they'd been friends a while then he could just cut him off then. No sense doing it so soon. FlurryofstarsJetclaw
Feeling eyes on him, Softpaw glanced over his shoulder. Two apprentices were eating not too far off and even though they weren't necessarily staring at him, they were definitely looking. He was used to this sort of thing and it normally made him feel uneasy, but right now he had nothing to do. He hadn't really socialized with another apprentice, and now seemed a perfect opportunity to try. Taking a deep breath to spur him on, Softpaw turned away from the entrance and stepped over to the pair. "Hey, there!" he said with a lopsided smile. "How's it going?" His voice sounded too loud to him and he let out a quiet laugh to make up for it in some way.
And opportunity had arrived how best to play it. Well, Softpaw was still so new maybe they could just trick him. "Oh it's going all right," Viridianpaw said with a sigh, "Say, how long have you been in NightClan now?" He asked. "Almost a full week now right?" They'd start out small see how gullible he was, afterall if they got Softpaw to do all the chores he and Giantpaw could go out and sit in the big tree near the gathering place to try and spy on the other three clans and make up stupid rumors based on what they saw.
Giantpaw rested his head on his giant paws, looking at Softpaw with interest. His tail was slowly moving and he had to mentally stop himself from letting it because honestly it was starting to resemble how he looked when he was about to attack prey.

"At least that, yeah," Softpaw replied with a glance at Giantpaw. The two cats were nicer than he'd thought they might be. Maybe he was just paranoid about cats not liking him. "I should be assigned a mentor pretty soon though. How long have you two been apprentices?" He was feeling both nervous and excited about having a chance to start his own training, but he didn't know what any of it would entail. He couldn't help but snatch the opportunity to ask now.
"Oh, for a little while," Giantpaw said, lazily stretching out one enormous fluffy paw to claw into the ground. "Not so sure about Viridianpaw though. We only just became friends." Why was he telling that to a kittypet again? His tail was twitching again. He had to still it mentally once more to avoid alerting Softpaw to his instinctual hunting drive. Not that Softpaw would probably know what that was, right? JetclawFlurryofstars
