So he had been paired with Newsnarl for the day huh? Luminescence tried to think on the positive side of this but in honesty he was a bit nervous and spooked. It's not that he was he was scared of Newsnarl, but rather he didn't know anything of the tom other than the fact he was a ginger tom and was rather...loud. Being shy, nervous, quiet he knew this would be...interesting. Still he was wanting to try something new hoping this would end well but... Shaking his head Luminescence kept an eye out for Newsnarl hoping he didn't show himself as the scary cat he could be.

"Hey!" A voice barked from behind him as Newsnarl walked up. "Are you Luminescence?" There was an edge to his tone even as he asked the question/sort-of greeting. It probably had a lot to do with him asking the same thing to nearly every cat in SpringClan because he barely knew anyone here. His ears flicked in annoyance as he studied the tom in wait of an answer, already expecting it to be a "no". If he could find the guy, he wasn't even sure how the day would go. He received a little snippet of information about them, but he was hardly good at doing things like this.

Luminescence felt himself jump a foot of the ground as his fur puffed up in surprise. Quickly the tom turned around to what had to have been Newsnarl looking, no staring at him. The tabby felt himself heat up in embarrassment as he tried to smooth his fur down clearing his throat. "I-i-i-i am Lumin-n-n-escence. It's a pleasure to uh meet you Newsnarl." As he spoke his stammer cooled down but he still felt nervous and uncertain. How was this going to work out?

Newsnarl watched the tom jump as if he'd just witnessed him grow a second head. The stuttered attempt at a greeting was equally strange. Ginger ears flicked from side to side at the realization that this mess was Luminescence and that they'd be stuck together for the day. Seeing as he already wanted to call it quits, he couldn't imagine how the rest of their time would unfold. "Ah, yeah. Nice meeting you too," he muttered, breaking eye-contact to glare off to the side. This was lame. "So, what's the plan?"

Once again he cleared his throat and shifted his weight around. "Well I was perhaps t-thinking maybe we can have a fun contest of catching prey. I have heard wonderous things about your hunting abilities and...I thought it would be a fun game. I may not look like much but I am rather fast. Plus we won't be bored and the clan can get something good out of it." Luminescence thought it had been a good idea at the time considering they really didn't know each other but he was hesitant now.

“You’re right. You don’t look like much,” Newsnarl said, though not with the intention of being rude. If they were both thinking it, then it must be true. Still, Luminescence’s idea was surprising to him. He would never have guessed the tom would want to compete against him, as nervous as he was. Something about that sparked a tiny ember inside of him, but he couldn’t pinpoint the feeling. Was it respect? Surprise? Intrigue? As small as it was, it probably didn’t matter.
“But sure!” He perked up. His amber eyes were suddenly glinting with a fiery passion. “If you want to play, I’ll play, but don’t expect me to go easy on you.”
Post by ashestoashes on Mar 15, 2021 3:30:04 GMT -5
Ouch. So it was obvious he wasn't all that much but the tom was aware of it himself. No matter it was not a thought to work through right now. Seeing the other tom's reaction indicated he chose right in the event he wanted to do. Truthful Luminescence strong point was running and being fast which was useful when hunting. As for actually catching prey he definitely was not the worst at it but definitely wasn't a pro either. The warrior felt some courage seeing the fire burn in Newsnarl's eyes. This time a true smile showed on Luminescence face that wasn't one of completenervousness, "Then show me what you got and I may just suprise you too." Stretching the grey and white warrior started to head to the camp entrance before he paused, "If you want we can even hunt in your preferred area in the territory too for the fun of it. Where would you like this competition to be at?"

"Heh, I just told you I won't go easy on you and you want me to pick the place!? Man, you must really want to lose," Newsnarl laughed, hardly even considering the possibility that the tom was a good hunter let alone a better one than him. Of course, he knew he wasn't the best either but there was no way he could lose to Luminescence. "Whatever you say though. How about the Blossom Stone Path? I could go for some rabbit today." Still being fairly new to the clan, he wasn't extremely familiar with the territory. He did know the path pretty well though, even if he wasn't aware of it being a hot spot for couples.
(Idk if you want this to be a platonic date or if you're looking at a potential mate plot here, but I'm good for either. I realize New's sexuality isn't on the mate log, but he is bi. Just throwing that out there lol.)
Post by ashestoashes on Mar 25, 2021 2:00:47 GMT -5
(Luminescence is a homosexual character so I'm down with this being a mate thing...or platonic. Mates would be nice since he could help Luminescence with his nervousness and Luminescence can help Newsnarl with his insecurities X3)
"I'm fine with that and rabbit would be a great prey to hunt for in this contest since they are so fast and nimble." As it happened Luminescence loved to hunt rabbit even if he didn't always come out with one. Plus he knew the Blossom Stone Path well enough to know some good hunting spots to sneak up on the prey of choice. "Okay with that settled let's head to the Stone Path." Getting to his paws the tom started towards leaving the camp when he paused for a moment for Newsnarl to follow. "We have all day to do this...why not make the end time when the first few stars show in the sky?"

(Okay, I'm really excited to do a mate plot with him so I'm cool with that! Just know my boy's real stubborn so it might take some time for him to realize what's up lol)
Newsnarl cocked his head at the tom's easy agreement to his idea. He wasn't really sure what to expect of it, but he knew rabbits were a tougher prey to catch and it intrigued him that Luminescence clearly knew it and didn't seem alarmed. If anything, the tom sounded almost excited. "Huh, you know your stuff," he said as he followed after him. "Yeah. That's fine with me. Heck, I could go all night, but then we wouldn't see rabbits there for moons!" He'd be lying if he said he wasn't a little worried about the competition. It didn't need to be a big deal, but of course, he would think of it as such. None of his doubts showed though, as he continued to talk himself up.

(Lumine is patient at least which is nice and I'd love to see the twist and turns it takes them)
The path slowly took them to their destination and both remained silent for the trip before Luminescence cleared his throat. "So how long have you been around in the clan? I haven't been here too long myself...maybe a few moons?" He paused before he quickly added, "I mean i-i-i-if you want to talk about it. You don't have to if you don't w-w-want to." Once again he over thought things and probably made it more awkward than it was.

Newsnarl was so focused on his hunting strategy for the evening that he almost missed the tom’s softer-sounding voice. He had to blink a few times while he processed the chunk of the sentence he missed but when he figured it out, his whole face lit up with joy. “What!? No way! I’ve only been here a few moons too!” He said, jumping into Luminescence’s space so their faces were only a few inches apart. The proximity didn’t bother him at all though. He was far too excited to notice because finally he didn’t feel like he was the only cat out of place in the clan. “Were you a loner or something? A kittypet?”
Post by ashestoashes on Apr 21, 2021 13:54:51 GMT -5
"I was a kittypet...and definitely don't miss that life. To put it simply I was left taped in a box and left by the river by my old twologs. I think it was because I was getting older and had started to feel restless. I wanted to run and scratch things and do things that any normal cat would want to but couldn't at the time. Guess they didn't like it much so...here I am now." He glossed over much of the story but didn't think the small details would matter too much. He was were he was and happy to be in the clan now.

Hearing the story dropped Newsnarl’s mood considerably. It sounded awful really, to be abandoned like that, but it was so far outside his own experiences that he couldn’t really relate. Or rather, he couldn’t come up with what to say. “Oh,” he said, lowering his head a bit and casting a sideways glance away from Luminescence. What he wanted to say though, was how he’d like to scratch out those twolegs’ eyes. Newsnarl wasn’t sure if that would help though, and he wasn’t much good at consoling anyone. Still averting eye-contact, he settled on keeping the conversation flowing instead of letting it die out awkwardly. “Do you ah, like it here then? Like you don’t regret or uh, yeah um... You can run and scratch anything you want now, right?”

Luminescence quickly perked up, "Oh yes I am immensely happy out here. I have freedom and the prey tastes so much better than that disgusting rabbit pellet looking stuff. I mean sure it wasn't a fun experience but I mean hey it lead me to here so how can I be upset?" The tom realized he brought down the mood and wanted to bring it back up. "I get to run and chase rabbits which is what we are about to do so how can I miss that life? I love the feel of running and hunting. Plus the food is much tastier when you catch it yourself rather than in a bowl."
Post by Flurryofstars on May 13, 2021 0:54:50 GMT -5
It was a relief to hear Luminescence was feeling good, and while Newsnarl wasn’t ready to let his walls down, he felt like they had more in common than he thought. “Bleh!” He exclaimed with his whole face twisted in disgust. “That’s one thing I’m glad I never got the chance to try! Those pellets looked nasty!” It gave him the heebie jeebies just thinking about it, and he had to physically shake the image from his mind.
“Speaking of rabbits, I guess we should start hunting, right? And this talk’s not gonna make me go any easier on ya, pal. You’re going DOWN!” He was smiling ear to ear though, before he raised his nose to the sky to check the wind’s scent. Already he could tell there were some prospects nearby.

The grey patched tom couldn't help but feel a small smirk form on his lips before he watched his now rival go off on the trail of his prey. Luminescence himself went towards the opposite direction that Newsnarl taken as to not accidently bump into him nor steal his kills. No scent immediately made itself apparent to the warrior but he wasn't worried. He was calm and collected, taking his time to find a scent before running off. It wasn't too long before he saw and smelled that scent of a female hare somewhere ahead of him and went off after her. Flurryofstars
(Would you prefer to rp a bit of the hunt itself or jump to right as the stars begin to pop up in the sky indicating the hunt is over?)

(I realize I've been kind of slow at responding, so maybe we should just jump to the stars lol.)
As their surroundings began to darken, Newsnarl looked up to the sky mid-stalk. Seeing stars twinkling back at him made him shoot up with a groan. "Already!?" Bright orange fur bristled as he started off towards where he buried his kills, his tail snapping behind him as he went. What had started out as a promising hunt went downhill fast for him after the first couple of rabbits. Maybe he was being too loud or maybe he just wasn't being as mindful of their burrow locations, but somewhere down the line, he started having trouble catching anything. He wasn't disappointed with the five lousy rabbits he'd caught in the end, but he was hoping to have gotten more within their timeframe.
Maybe he had a hard time too? Newsnarl could only hope as he uncovered his kill and worked on bringing their bodies to the place they first split up. "Hey! Luminescence! Time's up, okay? Get your tail over here!" he called after spitting out some chunks of fur. ashestoashes

(I am so down for that)
Luminescence had been chasing down a rather speed demon of a rabbit right before he heard his name being called. He skidded to a stop as the young hare sped away ahead of him. Ah well looks like time was up anyway. Walking over to his kills he was pretty happy with the amount of kills he had as well. Pausing for only a moment he counted what he had before beginning to drag them over...now where had he heard Newsnarl call to him? Smelling the air he quickly found his comrade scent and followed it to where the other was also caring for his prey. Setting it down Luminescnce dropped the rabbits and walked up to the other tom. "Hey it looks like you got a good haul there. I caught five rabbits myself but lost the sixth after time was up."

"So it's a tie, huh?" Newsnarl said as he looked over the other's collection. Suddenly, he wasn't bummed about his results anymore. Maybe he'd done better than he thought. "I gotta say, Lum, you did a heck of a lot better than I thought you would. When I noticed you were super jumpy, I kinda thought you might be a lame warrior, but you proved me wrong!" Grinning from ear to ear, he strode up to Luminescence and held out his paw. "Good match!"
