.Ceremony for the times.

[>))*~.:Crystalstar:.~*((<]

^{Truth be told, the leader was bored. Completely unaware of the rumors flying around the camp, the cat inhabiting Crystalstar's body (BrokenDream) thought that everything was under control. The stupid Clan cats were as ignorant as prey - it was too easy to pose as the leader. However, the cat knew that Clan life had to keep rolling. Stupid apprentices to stupider mentors, turning into idiots for elders. Rolling the body's bored, angry red eyes, the haggard cat stepped onto the rock, rather pointlessly, to gather the cats for a ceremony. Nearly growling from her perch, she sat down waiting for the Clan to gather beneath her.}

[>>º•Breezepaw•º<<]

OOC;; Sorry, this is just a few quick posts here for the ceremony, then I'm back to the nursery!

Breezepaw bounded warilly out of the nursery at her leader's harsh call. She glanced up at Crystalstar, just to gasp at her devillish looks. Her eyes were like magma pits—more like liquid ruby than anything; her fur was as matted as the last time Breezepaw had seen her. "I'm never gonna get used to this.." she murmured to herself under her breath. Then she stood up straight, squared her shoulders, and marched forward like she was about to challenge Crystalstar. But she just stopped as soon as she reached the RiverStone, knowing that she'd get in major trouble if she did challenge her leader, and let out an impatient sigh.

[*~*Stormfrost*~*]

FROM;; //Receiving\\ the_[Vision]

Stormfrost ran from her den to the clearing as soon as she had heard the call for the meeting. Something was still wrong with Crystalstar. Her eye's shone red and her fur matted as if she hadn't groommed it in days. Something was terribly wrong with her, but what had happened to their once loving and caring leader? She was one of the first cats to enter the clearing. She looked around nervously, then took her usually spot as she waited for everyone to arrive.

[Gingerpaw]

Slinking silently out of the apprentice's den, Gingerpaw approached the Riverstone. She had been catching up on her sleep since she didn't get much now a days and this ceremony wasn't helping. Crystalstar was in an condition that obviously stated she didn't care about her appearance or maybe even her health for that matter. "Mouse-brain." The apprentice muttered under her breath, not knowing or even caring if someone had heard her. Anybody in their right mind would agree with that statement, no matter if it was the clan leader they were talking about. Letting a yawn escape her jaws, she picked a spot farther away from the rest of the clan, somewhat isolating herself so that no one would try and talk to her during the clan meeting.

[*~*Icestorm*~*]

FROM;; Being Accepted

Icestorm padded from the warrior's den, slowly, when she heard their leader call for a clan meeting. She yawned and stretched out before heading over to the RiverStone. She found her sister at her usual post and thought about joining her. I just rejoined the clan, and half the cats here either don't know me or don't remember me. She sighed and went on the far edge of the clearing, hoping nobody would notice her and her twin sister because they were both on opposite sides of the clearing. Icestorm was, also, not in the mood for getting mixed up with her twin. Although Icestorm and Stormfrost were getting closer, she still didn't like it when people mixed them up. It reminded of when she was an apprentice and when she had left because of that to become a rogue. Will the mix ups ever end?

FROM;; cure the sickness

The white deputy moved into the clearing, he saw a few cats. He noticed Crystalstar. "Uh.. Oh" he murmured quietly, and stepped towards her. Why am I so nervous..? he thought. Something inside him, truly wasn't right. He felt so nervous now; just around Crystalstar. "Um.. Crystalstar," he muttered, looking at her with glowing emerald eyes, "... Are you going..." and he looked down, and gathered enough confidence to resume his speech. I'll put it simply, he thought,
"Sure you ain't going mad?"[/color]

[>>º•Breezepaw•º<<]

OOC;; This'll be from Breezy's POV, but Shadepaw's words'll be included since I control him. Then I'll have another para from Shade's POV.

Breezepaw watched as cats filed out around her into their positions. Her sensitive nose told her that her not-so-close friend Shadepaw had padded up beside her, though it didn't matter; he had just called her name. She breathed out a sigh, though her mood slightly brightened with Shadepaw's cheery attitude. "Hi, Breezepaw!" chirped the gray-tabby apprentice. Breezepaw smiled faintly. "Hello, Shadepaw. What do you think this ceremony is about?" she asked, tilting her head some. Her tiny ears twitched with the movement as she waited for an answer. "Hm... I don't... really know..." He sounded a bit thoughtful—unusual for him.

From;; //Receiving\\ the_[Vision]

Shadepaw stretched some from where he stood outside the medicine cat den. 'I wonder who I can talk to...' he thought as he scanned the few cats gathered. 'Not Stormfrost, or Icestorm... Certainly not Whitedawn..' His gaze stopped on a ginger-tabby she-cat apprentice. "Breezepaw!" he called from across camp. He bounded cheerfully over to the young she-cat. As he aproached, he smiled and sang happilly, "Hiii, Breezepaw!" Breezepaw smiled slightly at him as he sat down. "Hello, Shadepaw. What do you think this ceremony is about?" she queried, her head sideways. He noticed her ears twitch as his eyes unfocused thoughtfully. "Hm... I don't... really know..." His voice was distant, thoughtful.

[ooc]Everybody hates Whitedawn, lmao.[/ooc]

[Shadeyness >D]

OOC;; xD Sorry, Whitedawn. Shadey's just a bit sensitive at the moment, and he wanted to talk to a fellow apprentice. No offense meant to be applied!

[>))*~.:Crystalstar:.~*((<]

<sup>Looking at her Clan, the leader sniffed in approval. Things were going well, it seemed, until a cat approached her. Narrowing her ruby eyes, she fought back a hiss, aimed at her deputy. "What do you want, the ceremony's about to start!" She growled. Looking at the white cat in front of her, she scoffed. "I'm not the ground, cat." As he finally raised his eyes to look at her, and speak his mind, a flash of fury ran across her face. Those below would probably be frightened for Whitedawn's life. Just as it looked like she was about to kill the tom there and then, she stopped. Everything seemed too calm, on the rock. And then, she laughed.

And laughed, and laughed. The long, hard ones you do when you find something so hilarious you laugh until you forget what you were laughing about. Such was this, until, finally, she stopped abruptly. Red eyes still shining, she let out a warning growl, only for Whitedawn to hear. She leaned in, her filthy scent mixing with Whitedawn's, until, purring almost, she spoke. "The greatest minds have been accused of insanity, Whitedawn. Remember that, and remember your place." Still smiling her cruel smile, her yellow teeth flashed in the light. A storm was gathering soon, but there was no time to worry about that. "I suggest you climb down so the ceremony can start."</sup>

[*~\[Ribbonkit]/~*]

Ribbonkit peered warilly out of the nursery walls from where he had been napping. His black fur stood at attention at a cat's hysterical laughter. He was a nervous kit, always caught up in his philosiphies. He looked towards where the cruel sound came from, his eyes wide with terror as he realized it came from his leader. 'What has become of our leader?' he thought to himself, padding out of the nursery and over to where the newly-rejoined warrior Icestorm was settled. He nodded at her, though he didn't pay much attention to her, what with his thoughts elsewhere. 'It seems highly unlikely that a cat's restless soul has taken over her body, but... it seems as though that were the case.' His brows furrowed with frustration as he looked for a logical reasoning to why Crystalstar had changed drastically.

[ooc] haha, not like that Shade, I meant it as RP wise =][/ooc]
Whitedawn stared at Crystalstar, a smile played on his face. "My place?" he asked her simply, he inched closer to her. He noticed he was about to hit him, he didn't care though, "I dare you" he meowed coldly, watching the cat, emerald eyes glowing. The wind was strong, it pressed against his pelt. He looked at her again, "I have no place, but you should know yours as leader," he growled to her, "I don't mind telling you telling me what to do, but swipe at me.." he murmured, drifting off, "And your fresh-kill" he finished the sentence, his voice like ice cracking across the lake. He turned towards the crowd, and let one little emerald glance of hate back at Crystalstar, then he leapt from the rock, and landed in the crowd..[/color]

[*~*Icestorm*~*]

Icestorm watched the scene from a far, but she could easily tell what was going on. While the other cats in the clearing were chatting and waiting for the ceremony to start, Whitedawn had jumped on to RiverStone with their leader and whispered something to her. Icestorm could tell that Crystalstar was furious with Whitedawn for coming onto the RiverStone. She could faintly hear her leader growl at Whitedawn. She laughed a little, feeling bad about it afterward because she hadn't always been an oversensitive cat. Icestorm sighed. The things some cats do. She shook her head. Crystalstar doesn't seem to happy with her deputy, now does she? She frowned slightly as Whitedawn went off RiverStone, because she realized the ceremony was about to start. Wonder what this ceremony is going to be about, she thought. Genuinely curious.

[Shadeyness >D]

OOC;; I was actually saying that he was sensitive in here.

Shadepaw watched as Ribbonkit exited the nursery and sat down next to Icestorm... or was it Stormfrost? Whichever one it was, Ribbonkit seemed a bit nervous around her. "I wonder what's wrong with Ribbonkit.." he murmured to himself. Then his ears caught the confrontation between Crystalstar and Whitedawn. "I don't mind you telling me what to do, but swipe at me... And you're freshkill," he heard the white deputy snarl at Crystalstar. He glanced anxiously up at the two higher-ranked cats and stood. "Whitedawn?" he called timidly. "Why don't you join me and Breezepaw down here? Give Crystalstar her space?" The last part came out more as a question than a statement.

[lullaby]

Everything about you is how I wanna be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Lullabykit yawned, and got up out of her warm moss bed with nothing less then reluctance. Obviously, she had been sleeping, it had been a long day. For her at least. For eveyr one else it seemed to pass blissfully by. The silver kit frowned. Then rolled her eyes at herself. At least now there was a ceremony, maybe something with actually meaning wiould happen! She chuckled at her sarcasm as she stepped into the clearing. Breezepaw, Shdepaw, Gingerpaw, Icestorm, Whitedawn ... Whitedawn. Heat filled her cheeks, and Lullabykit stalked up to the older warrior without hesitation.

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind

"You stupid, insensitive, jerk!"

She didn't care what it looked like as her soft, smooth voice became audible by every one. All she cared about was informing Whitedawn of what he had done. "You left me in the nursery, alone, while I waited for you! And you were with Sunstream, one of you could have remembered me! For the love of StarClan, you could've! What do you ahve to say for yourself, hm? Hm?" She pestered him, once again not caring who stared.
