Mottlepaw walked along the shore, water rising to meet her paws with each wave. She scanned the soft sand for crabs left behind as the tide receded. A sea breeze ruffled her fur. She shook herself happily and walked a tail length closer to the sea. Salty water brushed over her legs as she spotted a flash of silver. She held herself carefully and struck out at the fish. "Mousedung!" She hissed as her paw missed the fish by a whisker. She turned and walked back onto the damp sand. She walked around, carefully looking for a dip in the sand. Pausing, she saw a small dip not too far from the sea. She bounded toward it, excited. In the dip, water had gathered, trapping two fish and a clump of seaweed. Mottlepaw crouched near the tidepool, facing the setting sun. She concentrated and dipped her paw into the water. The fish came out of the water, and she killed it with a quick bite.

the fact that you can't put 'other' as your gender is very aggravating why

The sudden breeze carried with it the scent of fish and salt, and as his whiskers were blown back, Palelight smiled. It was a far too nice day today; the sun was warm and the air cool air made for a great hunting evening. One pawpad after the other, the young tomcat paced down the shoreline, eyes locked to the water for any possible signs of movement in it. Although fish hunting wasn't an easy business, it wasn't something uncommon- not in his own clan. And, if anything, he had to admit he enjoyed it; the concentration it took, the way the water lapped at his fur while he waited. It was kind of a unique experience, honestly. And yet, much to his surprise, what caught his attention wasn't the movement of fish in the water, nor the sun hitting his right eye, but a fainted hiss from the sun's way. Palelight narrowed his eyes, trying to get a proper view of the cat opposite to him, but frowned. The light was too bright, he couldn't do it. So instead, the young tomcat called out, "Mousedung what?"
((Aaaaah this was posted ten days ago, but it didn't have any replies so I figured out I'd jump in. Laughscries I'm sorry--))

((its fine! sorry for my late reply as well, i has dome internet issues)) Mottlepaw jumped and turned torward the sound of another cat. She saw Palelight looking confused in her direction. "I'm jsut doing a little bit of fishing before the sun sets!" She called to him. Realizing that he probably couldn't see her against the sun she meowed, "It's Mottlepaw!" Mottlepaw turned back to the tidepool and saw that the second fish was frantically swimming in circles. I bet I can catch it in one try. She paused and waited for a moment, then struck at the water. She pulled the fish out easily and set it down next to the first one.

Skimmerfrost stood in satisfaction over her kill, a small red crab, when the wind changed and she scented two OceanClan cats off in the distance. She debated for a moment whether or not to try and meet them for a moment. There was the possibility it could be one of the clanmates she had quarreled with recently, and she wasn't in any mood to fight with another cat so soon, but... It might be better to hunt with a couple more pairs of eyes. She eventually conceded. I'll cross that gorge if I get to it. And with that, she grabbed her prey before trotting towards the two cats. Within two minutes, the black and white cat could see the forms of her two clanmates, and her speed rose slightly upon recognized them. These two, she hadn't fought with recently. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad? She finally reached the two in time to see the light grey and white apprentice catch what looked to be her second fish. "Mottlepaw, Palelight. Out late today?" She greeted, then glanced around before looking back at Mottlepaw curiously, "Is Dawnwhisker here too?" The tom was slightly over the top, and they had had a spat once or twice, but he was entertaining for the most part. ((Sorry if this is a bit lengthy- uh- is it alright if I jump in too?))

((its cool!)) Mottlepaw looked at Skimmerfrost happily. "He's not, but I doubt he'd mind more food for the clan!" She stood up and stretched. "Do you want to hunt with me? There's probably a few more good tidepools and we can always go into the ocean itself." Mottlepaw kneaded the ground with her paws. "Actually let's do that! I'm going to swim some too! Let's make it a contest! Whoever catches the most fish before the sun's completely down wins!" Mottlepaw began to run toward the water before either of the older cats could agree. She slowed as she hit the water and began to walk into the ocean. Waves lapped at her belly fur as she scanned the water for fish. I'm going to beat both of them!

Skimmerfrost blinked rapidly as the apprentice darted away, but eventually decided the idea wasn't bad. A competition would bring more food to camp, after all, and a little dip in the ocean wouldn't hurt in this weather. So she put down her crab and turned to Palelight with a trace of a purr in her voice and a raised tail. "Let's go! We can't let an apprentice win, now can we?"
