[Strike] Is Seeking An Audience With Sunseer
username belloblossom
cat Strike
reason for joining Strike couldn't be a loner anymore. He loved his family, his mother and his siblings, but he couldn't live with them. Their pitying looks - whether they realized it or not - was keeping him awake through the day, unable to sleep. His father, not even present in their life, had made it abundantly clear that Split wanted nothing to do with him. His floppy ears and pale fur seemed to be his misfortune, for his siblings had been doted upon in comparison.
He had to find somewhere he could be safe, somewhere he could live without the concern of his father's potential presence haunting him. His father seemed to live near the mountain or the outer wilds, so when choosing a Clan to present himself to, StoneClan, by the river, had seemed the most appropriate. LostClan, though he understood plenty of loners were going that way, sounded like more of the same he was used to - a Clan of pitying faces. No, better a proper Clan, like StoneClan.
To cut out the boring bits of how he flagged down a patrol and was presented to the StoneClan's leader, a cat who he overheard was named Sunseer. Impatience pricked at his fur, but he forced himself to wait the span of two breaths, before he began.
"I can fight, but more importantly in this coming season, I can hunt. What I need is the protection of a group and I hope to find that here. May I join yours?" @Blinded By Silence

cat Thunderfoot
previous name Thunderpaw
new name Thunderfoot
reason for change Once a loner called Mama, then an apprentice with the name of Thunderpaw, now this feline is becoming a warrior called Thunderfoot! Steadfast and grounded, this tomcat has learned fast the ways of SunClan and is ready to aid StoneClan among its warrior ranks.
(To save Sami some trouble, hopefully it's okay for him to skip his apprentice cert stage and go forward with his warrior ceremony? I still posted for his mentor above, however, so all the form ducks are in a row.) @Blinded By Silence

[Ripple] Is Seeking An Audience With Sunseer
username belloblossom
cat Ripple
reason for joining Ripple was tired. She'd been tired for a very long time, between making sure her father, Riot, didn't transport her and her siblings into certain doom, and keeping an eye on each and every one of her siblings in turn. As a youthful apprentice, she'd had the energy to run around and ensure that none of her siblings were jumping into branches too high, or falling off of cliffs or trying to fight enemies twice their size. Ripple had been the protector of her nomadic family from an early age - since her own father who was meant to protect them, didn't have any clue as to what he was doing. She tried not to resent him for his unassuming attitude. It didn't always work.
She'd had enough when her siblings were grown into adults. Sure, they were all still young, but they knew some manner of hunting and defense. If they weren't able to live on their own independently from her at this point in their lives... well, call her callous, but maybe they weren't meant to live at all.
She'd spent some time by the river, before being startled by a passing patrol of cats who demanded she leave their territory. They weren't unkind about it, so when she pressed who's territory it was, they gave her the information. Cats of StoneClan, warriors beside the river, led by Sunseer. She'd asked to accompany them back to camp - they'd hesitated at first and she couldn't really blame them, but she felt opportunity at her paws and she wasn't going to let it slip through her claws like a newt in the mud.
Rather than finding herself escorted directly into their camp, however, she seemed to be positioned at the edge of it. She could smell many cats just beyond her, but it stood to reason that she wasn't allowed to march into their centralized territory, just because she asked if she could. She did, however, see a black and spotted tomcat approaching her. As he grew closer, Ripple narrowed her eyes at him in her classic appraising look. There was something wrong with his eyes... what was it?
"Greetings, Sunseer, leader of the cats of StoneClan, the warriors beside the river." Was the whole thing his title? Ripple was having a hard time remembering if that's how the patrol had introduced themselves, or their leader. Well, no harm in being overtly polite, right? "I only came recently to realize that there was such a..." She searched for the right word. "group such as yours. I asked for an audience with you today, to ask if you might value one more among your group? I am able-bodied and can fend for myself, and for others. Rest assured that I will not become a burden on your family, if I am allowed entry." @Blinded By Silence

He chuckled at the youth before him, "No," he said simply but not unkindly, "I cannot see you. But you're right, that doesn't matter. Because the rest of my clan can. And it will be with their eyes that I decide whether or not you are fit to live and fight beside us." He tucked his tail neatly over his paws as he sat, "Tenfold, you say? We will have to get you a mentor who will hold you to that, kittypet. But for now," Sunseer gave the cat a nod of welcome, "Let me show you where you'll sleep, little paw."

"I understand what you seek, but hear me. We are more than one she-cat. Are you willing to give all of yourself so strongly to each and every cat in your clan? We can give you the security you seek, but your loyalty will be to me and your clan, not just to your mate."

No, the StoneClan leader had other tools now. He listened to the cat who stood before him with calm patience, waiting out his visitor's fidgeting restraint.
"We are more than just a group, you know. A Clan does more than just fight and hunt. We can protect you, but what we need to know is this; are you willing to protect us in return?"

"Welcome, wanderer," He nodded dutifully at the loner, chuckling to himself at the formal title and speech. At least they were respectful, he noted. "If you are willing to put yourself to the test, and learn our ways, I'm sure we can find a use for you here. Worry not, you are no burden unless you make yourself so." He turned, and with a flick of his tail beckoned the newcomer into camp. "Let me introduce you to the clan. We'll find you a mentor before sunhigh."

Blueburr sat taller still, though he did not know why. It didn't matter much how he held his posture, did it? No matter how high he held his head or puffed his fur, to look like a strong asset, the cat before him would not be swayed. The realization perhaps shocked him a bit. This wasn't a test of his strength, the fights he'd seen, the scars to prove his worth in hunts and battles. This was a test of loyalty. He could come into this clan ragged and torn, unfed and weak, but if he had enough merit it seemed they would still let him pass.The black tom saw threw the gruff loner quite easily. Perhaps it was because the blind cat could not judge the tom by his rough appearance or maybe it was because he too knew a thing or two about loving someone. It was brave, he thought, for this cat to give up whatever kind of life a loner lived to protect a she-cat. But it could also be problematic. He had seen many a tom do something stupid for love. He had embarrassed himself on more than one occasion, he remembered.
"I understand what you seek, but hear me. We are more than one she-cat. Are you willing to give all of yourself so strongly to each and every cat in your clan? We can give you the security you seek, but your loyalty will be to me and your clan, not just to your mate."
@AlicornPlayhouse
"You will have my unwavering loyalty, I swear it.. I believe she is smarter than I, you see.." Ah.. how to explain this.. Blueburr struggled finishing his thoughts, hoping the cat before him would let him reach his conclusion, even if the path seemed unorthodox. "I have not known of a,, place like this before. The life of a loner is quiet, and deadly. I'm sure you know.." His paws shifted along the ground, pressing the awkward tension in his body out through the pads of his feet into the ground... Or, he felt that way. "But I want to try, to learn to love and be loyal like this. If a cat as smart as she, and as the others I have met here, have found reason and hope in living like this.. Then I want to as well." He reassured, leaning ever so slightly closer the more passionate he felt when he spoke. "If a cat amongst you places their trust in me, I will lay down my life for them.

why are they leaving? Partially due to the fact that he loved being on the move and now feels restless camping in one place. Mostly so that he can follow Lynx and her kits around and provide for them.

So, it wasn't just as easy as making demands and being let in, was it? Strike felt irritation prickling at his pelt, but he let out a slow breath instead. It wouldn't do him any good to lose his temper in front of the leader of the Clan and be chased off. Or worse.Being blind had its benefits, Sunseer had learned over the past few moons. When a cat came before him, he no longer judged them by appearances. He did not see their anxiety, or their anger, pity, or sadness. He saw not the things that others might, physical differences meant little to him when it came to first impressions.
No, the StoneClan leader had other tools now. He listened to the cat who stood before him with calm patience, waiting out his visitor's fidgeting restraint.

@belloblossom
"It may take me some time to understand the intricacies of Clan life." How could there be more to a Clan than surviving together, for example? "But, yes, I am willing to do what I can, to protect you all, if you bring me into your gr... into your Clan." He finished, unwilling to let himself feel hopeful just yet. @Blinded By Silence
