(Jackdawpaw is my newest character, he's NightClan's new MCA and he could use some established relationships. I also haven't rped in NightClan in a while so I thought it would be fun to have a group rp with him and all of the apprentices! I hope you'll all join in so I can get to know your characters ^-^) @ian seekerbiyuu ☆彡achromaticashestoashessunlightCleaver
Jackdawpaw wasn't the traditional wimpy warrior apprentice turned medicine cat. He had always been rowdy, the kind that enjoyed scaring other apprentices, starting play fights that often went too far. He would have never struck anyone as the type who would even be interested in medicine, but after word spread from what happened during the half moon gathering it was clear that he was dedicated. Rumor had it that he had followed Pinesimmer to Moon Creek and demanded to be his medicine cat apprentice. When he was refused he outright declared he would show his devotion to StarClan and had nearly plucked his own eye out. Even though he hadn't succeeded in removing his eye there was one that was clearly damaged compared to his other healthy peach colored eye.
Today was the first day of him being announced as medicine cat apprentice, but instead of training he had run right back to the apprentice den to see his friends reactions. Okay, they weren't his friends, people in passing really, but now that he was a medicine cat apprentice he had a feeling things would change for the better. "Guess who convinced Pinesimmer I'm a worthy medicine cat apprentice," Jackdawpaw smirked, "ME! You all dared me to do it and I did."
Once again, no one dared him to do it. He more said that if someone dared him to do it he would. Then no one dared him, then he said he'd prove it to them without being provoked at all.
Sagepaw had been sitting outside the apprentice den, absently munching on a piece of fresh-kill, when the nuisance arrived. “I literally cannot tell you how little I care about your problems, Jacky,” the tiny russet tabby told him, glancing up from her half-eaten sparrow. “Who’d want to work under Pinesimmer? He’s the worst.”
Pinesimmer had been the one to find Sagepaw at the border when she was a kit. They had gotten into a veritable screaming match and he’d riled her about her father- the one subject she no longer allowed anyone to bring up. Usually other cats were too busy complaining about Sagepaw’s behavior to remember her past, a fact she appreciated. “Don’t you have herbs to shove your nose in, anyway?”

(hecc yeah it's bully Sagepaw time!!!)
Moonpaw found Jackdawpaw's boldness amusing, to say the least. While Sagepaw was uninterested, Moonpaw certainly was the opposite. He didn't know much about the dare–he was rather new to the apprentice den after all–but hey, medicine cat apprentice sounded pretty cool, even if he was still uncertain of what that entailed.
"That's cool," he replied with a grin, ignoring Sagepaw's disdain, "so how did you convince the guy?" He didn't know Pinesimmer, but he had seen the cat in passing and he seemed...grumpy perhaps? He wasn't really sure why the cat seemed to always have a bone to pick with whoever, but hey, whatever pleased this other apprentice, right?
He was curious, but more so, he knew that Sagepaw didn't care for any socialization or other apprentices telling their little stories, and hearing her snap at the tom and knowing how annoyed she'd be to be stuck here listening to another story? That would just make his day.

"I don't recall making a bet with you nor anyone else here. Does anyone remember making that bet with Jackdawpaw? No? More than likely he made a bet with himself and wants to spread the word. I mean it's great you are a medicine cat apprentice and I congratulate you on that, but don't go spreading false information if you can't back up the claim." Rabbitpaw watch all of this in a calm thoughtful manner. The white and ginger patched she cat cocked her head to the side as amber eyes focused soley on Jackdawpaw. "Go ahead, tell us who made the bet. Do you have names you can provide? It would be an awful shame to learn that our new medicine cat apprentice is a liar."

Jackdawpaw laughed with pity like Sagepaw was some poor creature that could never understand such high concepts such as medicinery, "Oh Sagepaw, I'm in charge of him. He's just delusional and I have to pretend I'm the medicine cat entrepreneur. That's my actual title by the way, not apprentice. So I guess you could say, I'm above you now? I've risen to higher places? I'm no longer at your level? Take your pick." He said taking the daring move of patting Sagepaw on her shoulder before having the great luck of wandering over to Moonpaw before Sagepaw could do anything too life threatening to him.
"Ah, a man of culture," He said, before laughing a bit at his own dumb over the top wording, "I told him that if he wanted me to prove myself that I would. So then I tried to pull my eye out, but then everyone stopped me and StarClan was like, hey, that seems like a cool guy, you should let him be an entrepreneur. So here I am." Jackdawpaw said, breathing out a happy sigh as he reminisced.
His yellow and off colored, now injured burnt golden gaze turned to Rabbitpaw in mock shock, "Rabbit, how could you think that? After all of our moons of friendship!" he emphasized, which was another lie, he pretty much only saw Rabbitpaw in passing around camp, "Wounded. I feel wounded. So wounded that i can't even bare to recollect the names of the people I talked to. It's just too much for me right now. Moonpaw understands I'm sure," Jackdawpaw said, his gaze flicking over to the only person that wasn't really on his side, but wasn't against him either.
Dragonpaw snorts softly, their yellow eyes lazily opening from a nap. "I don't remember any bets." Angled ears prick towards the new medicine cat apprentice, their full gaze redirecting to Jackdawpaw. "In fact, I don't remember you having any friends to dare you in the first place." Dragonpaw was mean, not one to care at all for anyone else's feelings. All that mattered is that they climbed their way to the top with nothing to stop them.
Puddlepaw blinks slowly, watching everyone else bully the young medicine cat. "Hey, he's just embellishing the story a little. I dared him, I said no one was brave enough to face Pinesimmer." This was false. Puddlepaw had never spoken to Jackdawpaw in his entire life. But he hated when everyone else picked on one cat. It wouldn't surprise him if the others talked about him that way behind his back.

Moonpaw laughed. He had suspected Jackdawpaw had been a little...generous with his comments, but this was all rather humorous to him. "Hey I'm not getting into fights between all of you," he replied with a grin, turning his head to hear Puddlepaw make an excuse for the other cat. It was clear enough to him that he was just trying to be nice.
Still, he didn't want Puddlepaw to get lumped into the same bullying Jackdawpaw was suddenly suffering. "So what does he win from this bet?" he joked, bumping Puddlepaw's side with his own, his own teasing playful, before turning to Jackdawpaw with a raised brow, "anyway, what does entrepreneur even mean?"
Sagepaw rolled her eyes again. “Like you were ever near my level to begin with, Jacky. And you’re lying to cover for him, Puddlepaw. Jackdawpaw made some silly bet just so he could shove his boring new job in our faces. Pinesimmer doesn’t scare me but I would hate to have to look at his ugly mug and listen to his whiny voice all day. Seems you downgraded instead of upgraded, Jacky.”
The russet tabby stood, stretching out her lean forelegs. “Is there anything interesting happening today? I know you’re not the most exciting bunch, but this announcement is boring me out of my mind.”
Violetpaw had been asleep when Jackdawpaw entered the den, and he wished he still was. He was curled up tight in a ball between Rabbitpaw and his brother Puddlepaw, and he had been at peace before the shouting started. After a short fight, he gave up on the idea of falling asleep again while everyone else was in here and sleepily lifted his head.
"You didn't really make a bet with him, did you?" Violetpaw murmured out of the corner of his mouth. "Seems like something you could get in trouble for."
“Well, it looks like he won being a medicine cat apprentice.” He says, answering Moonpaw’s question. “And if he lost, I got to call him a mouse brain for a moon. Looks like that’s not happening though!” Puddlepaw glances over at Sagepaw, who saw right through him. He knew since she joined the clan that she was intelligent and had probably been through more than any of them combined. Puddlepaw’s parents had died, but he didn’t remember that.
When Violetpaw wakes up, Puddlepaw glances over at him. Matching his voice level, he smiles, “no, I didn’t. But I don’t want him to feel awful that everyone’s ganging up on him.” He lays down beside his brother from sitting position, yawning softly.
"I HAVE FRIENDS, DRAGONPAW!" Jackdawpaw defended himself quickly, "Have you heard of PHANTOMFOX? Yeah, you know, only the lead loyal guard of NightClan. He's my best friend and I'm his best friend," He boasted before scoffing at Sagepaw, "Please Sagepaw, I've had more interesting things to say than your "super original" teenage one liners you've been coming up with this entire time. You're welcome for this free entertainment. I mean, do you get to handle deadly herbs? Get to ignore the warrior code because you're above being a warrior? WALK on any clan land you want? Talk to the dead and get important life changing messages that'll change the fate of the clan forever? NO? Oh my gosh, so like, maybe I am the most interesting person here. WOW. So shove it you negative Nettlepaw," Jackdawpaw scoffed as he began cleaning his shoulder fur before glancing over to Moonpaw, "Oh and entrepreneur is a real self starter, like for me I plan to start from scratch, not get any hand outs from Pinesimmer... NOT because he doesn't share and told me that I need to get my own herbs. But because I want to. Obviously."

Moonpaw laughed, but bit his lip to stifle it. This argument was getting a bit ridiculous, though he had to admit, being able to travel around and collect herbs didn't sound all too bad, not to mention, being able to explore...that would've been cool. He wouldn't mind that at all. He wasn't so sure he believed any cat could talk to the dead–not to mention, that sounded really creepy–but hey, he'd give Jackdawpaw that.
"You should show me some herbs sometime," he offered, "and I could show you a couple of other warrior training things you'll be missing out." After all, his older sister mentioned a thing or two about herbs before, surely they must be useful, right?
"Well..." Jackdawpaw paused looking between everyone. He did want to impress them and so far they weren't really congratulating him or making him feel happy like he thought would happen. "There is one cool herb storage I've been stocking up on, it's super secretive though and I mean it, so if I take you guys to this you have to cross your hearts and hope to die, stick a pine needle in your eye that you'll never tell anyone about it, alright?"
He glanced over the other apprentices, but couldn't tell if they looked anymore trustworthy than before, "Okay, follow me," He said walking a little's way outside of camp before spotting a thick low to the ground earth. It had pine needle like foliage growing out to it, much thicker and tougher than most bushes. "Alright, follow me," Jackdawpaw said as he moved beneath the bush, but after a few steps the bush was dug out beneath looking more like an umbrella guarding the dug out area. Underneath the bush were a few herbs carefully growing, specifically of the deadly variety, "Okay so I found these, they're super poisonous and I've decided to try and cross breed them into something cool. I don't know what yet, but it's going to be pretty epic when they do grow and I can test it out on like a mouse or something."

Rabbitpaw was a bit skeptical but followed out of curiosity. The arguments in the den had been slightly amusing but mostly full of rubbish and a lot of lying. Well as least she had her best friend Violetpaw with her so this wasn't a wasted adventure. When she got to the stash with the others her eyes widened in worry. Part of her wanted to believe he was lying about this too (and could be) but with how confident he was acting this very well could be a dangerous plant. "Are you okay to do this? What if this causes some trouble down the line for you? Aren't you worried a kit might accidently come across this if they had some seriously bad luck?" She paused a moment before adding, "Not that this isn't cool or interesting because it kind of is honestly"
Sagepaw, despite herself, had followed, and was glancing around at the growing herbs with an amused glint in her hard amber eyes. "Ballsy, Jacky, I like it. But how do you know they're dangerous and poisonous and not just any old fern? Maybe you should do a taste test to verify if they'll really mess someone up."

Moonpaw grimaced at Sagepaw's words. Eugh. He was not going to be responsible for some other apprentice dying because Sagepaw was being a total butt. At the same time, Rabbitpaw wasn't wrong either. "Maybe you should make sure they're really hard to get to, like...I don't know, put some brambles around it or something. Then the kits won't get into it."
"Oh my gosh, you're always telling me what to do. Jack, don't be such a liar. Jack you're going to poison our clan. It's just never ending with you Rabbitpaw," Jackdawpaw said with exhaustion
"Ballsy, Jacky, I like it. But how do you know they're dangerous and poisonous and not just any old fern?"
Turning his head to Sagepaw, "Whoa, did you enter a redemption arc or something, because I think Sagepaw just complimented me, holy stars," He smirked, but his words didn't come off taunting like they had previously, instead his words radiated with a warmth to them. Probably because he wasn't being pressed up against the wall with criticism. But that all went away when Sagepaw made her last comment, "Fluff off Sagepaw, you're a one note persona like most people here, but at least everyone else's is tolerable. But yeah, whatever, sure, I agree, it could use some defenses. But hey, you're all strong apprentices that are meant to do free labor. So fetch my some branches or I'll tell Aspenstar and all of your mentors that you're not respecting a medicine cat entrepreneur and therefore not taking the clans health seriously." He snapped his claws at them, "Go, I know you're dying to complain about me behind my back so run off and collect some strong, presentable branches."

Moonpaw snickered at Jackdawpaw's comment; as much as he and Sagepaw were training partners, they were...for lack of a better word, rivals. "Ooof, burn," he grinned, "you really going to just take that?"
Post by ashestoashes on Jul 29, 2021 18:18:54 GMT -5
Rabbitpaw narrowed her eyes at Jackdawpaw. "It's never ending if it wasn't true which it is. I mean you could easily make the clan very sick...then what? How would you explain it to our leader? Isn't it reckless and irresponsible? I'm not telling you your job but don't come crying to me if you mess up."
"I'm not fetching jack for you, Jacky, so don't boss me around." Sagepaw rolled her eyes, turning away from him and Moonpaw to examine the herbs in more depth. The one note persona comment bothered her for some reason, though she knew it was basically true- that was the image she put up for all the clan to see, so why did it hurt so much when someone mentioned it? Rabbitpaw had a good point, anyway- Jackdawpaw had no leverage with which to blackmail into her such menial work.
