## Life

### Kithood

Burnetkit was born on April 5th, the second born in his litter.

The first cat he actually interacted with was Hollysmoke, who had been visiting the nursery.

Slightly later, he met Ferntuft, who was in the nursery because she was a queen at that time. Though Burnetkit hadn't opened his eyes yet, he tried to catch Ferntuft's tail multiple times, and the two played together for a bit, though Burnetkit was quite uncoordinated, and fell over numerous times. Eventually, Burnetkit fell asleep by her side.

Next, he met Caneclatter, a warrior who also visited the nursery. Burnetkit cuddled up to the warrior's paw, as he seemed to be making lots of happy noises. This was when Burnetkit realised that when others made noises to you, you were supposed to respond back with other noises. He didn't yet know they were words, or their purpose. Eventually, Burnetkit fell asleep on the warrior's paw, after he and Caneclatter had a back and forth noise "conversation".

Roughly 1 moon:

One day, Gorseburn babysat for Burnetkit and his siblings. That morning, Burnetkit opened his eyes, as did his littermates. Burnetkit was amazed by all the colours, and though his right eye's vision was slightly blurry, he didn't know the difference from that and a normal cat's vision, and remained astounded. Burnetkit was groomed by Gorseburn, and though he was originally startled, he ended up liking it. Shortly after that, he realised that if Gorseburn had a tongue, he might too. So he tried to look for his tongue, and ended up looking slightly ridiculous, because he obviously couldn't see his own. He then attempted to purr, setting off attempts to purr by his siblings. Then Blastkit found a flower, and she later sneezed, as did Bristlekit. Burnetkit wasn't sure to be amused or wary of these sneezes.

Burnetkit met his older sibling, Brookleaf, in the nursery. After being greeted with a gentle squeak, Brookleaf said hello to Burnetkit. Burnetkit then tried to repeat their words, attempting to say his own name for the first time.

A couple sunrises later, Caneclatter came back to the nursery, and this time, Burnetkit greeted him with the one of two words he knew, "ello!" Caneclatter said hello back, and then tried to teach Burnetkit to talk. Burnetkit didn't quite get it, though, and instead just tried to purr in reply. Caneclatter managed to teach Burnetkit what names were, and taught him both his own name and his name.

Roughly 2 moons:

Later on, Vexscar came in, with plans to meet the kits. At this point, Burnetkit's teeth had just been coming in, but he paused in trying to find out what they were to greet Vexscar, again with an, "ello!" Vexscar asked his name, but Burnetkit didn't know what that was, so Vexscar went on, explaining what a name was. This got Burnetkit at least pointing in the right direction with names, and so he combined his name with Brookleaf's, then with Brookleaf and Caneclutter's. Eventually, he just squeaked," kit" , because cats seemed to say that to him a lot. He continued to talk with Vexscar, learning many new words.

Then, Burnetkit met Shellpaw, who invited him to play moss-ball. The moss-ball was lopsided, which rather bothered Burnetkit, but he didn’t know how to fix it.

He later encountered Snowsight, Thunderclan's medicine cat. She introduced herself as that, but that confused Burnetkit, who knew vaguely what a cat was, but had no idea what medicine or healing was. She tried to explain further, but he was still rather confused.

Then he met Thurshperch.

He then interacted with his sister, Blastkit, for one of the first times. She'd woken him up, so he decided to interact with her, greeting her with a flurry of words. They talked for a bit.

After that, he met Gorseburn again.

Roughly 3 moons:

A while later, he interacted with his brother Bristlekit, complimenting him on his words. The two of them eventually found a ladybug, which Burnetkit named Curt. However, shortly after its naming, the bug flew away. This distressed Bristlekit, and Burnetkit was sad because Bristlekit was. The two of them snuggled sadly for a moment, before Bristlekit half-heartedly attempted to cheer up Burnetkit, by saying Curt was probably off making friends. Burnetkit took this idea and ran with it, hoping to make Bristlekit no longer sad, because he quite disliked sadness.

Zenithkit, Tarantulakit and Chiakit were born.

In the morning one day, Burnetkit was grooming himself when he met Tarantulakit. The two had a fun game of mossball, though Tarantulakit couldn't talk yet. Eventually, both of them got tired, and fell asleep.

On a rainy day, Burnetkit met Otterkit. Otterkit didn't know what rain was, and feared the worst, but Burnetkit explained that it was normal. Otterkit overcame his fear of rain, and Burnetkit was pleased for him. The two eventually both got tired and fell asleep in their respective nests.

He met his sister Bellflare.

4 moons:

He encountered his older brother, Bubblecatcher, after introducing himself to the camp in hopes of a conversation. Bubblecatcher told Burnetkit that they were brothers, and Burnetkit was rather happy about that. Burnetkit said he'd met his older sibling Brookleaf, and that they smelled like leaves. Bubblecatcher explained that Brookleaf was a med cat. Bubblecatcher taught Burnetkit the word Spectacular, which Burnetkit used a lot.

A particularly sweltering day, Burnetkit met Dustkit. Dustkit went in front of Burnetkit, to stop him from leaving the nursery. Burnetkit didn't leave, instead talking to Dustkit, though the kit couldn't hear him.

He again met Tarantualakit (because Cae is cool and so is their character)  This time, he was able to talk to the other kit, and Burnetkit taught Tarantulakit a few words, eventually taking the younger kit out into camp. He showed the kit around a bit, but eventually both got tired, and the duo returned to the nursery, with Tarantulakit learning the word sleep, and then they both fell asleep.

He also met Vexscar for the second time, and asked plenty of questions while snuggling up to the scarred warrior.

A short while later, Burnetkit met Willowwhirl, and the two exchanged pleasantries. Willowwhirl asked about what Burnetkit's plans for the future were, and Burnetkit, who only really wanted to make his family happy, said probably a warrior. Then Willowwhirl told her entire life story, much to Burnetkit's joy.

5 moons:

Burnetkit met Flickerdash by the fresh-k¡ll pile. He stole her leaf, and she was originally ticked, but realised soon after Burnetkit's youth and such, and the two talked a bit.

He spoke to Caneclatter again, and they talked about a ton of random subjects, including favourite words and Bubblecatcher, whom Burnetkit praised incessantly.

One Autumn day, Burnetkit met Peonypath for the first time. Burnetkit introduced himself in the nursery, but didn't get up, because he was cold.

Perhaps a couple days later, Burnetkit spoke to his sister Blastkit  who was sad about her having to soon be an apprentice and leave her friend Dustkit. Burnetkit was worried about his apprenticeship too, but he hid it. When Burnetkit saw Blastkit crying, he ran over and attempted to comfort her, though he almost started crying too. The two of them snuggled up to one another, and Burnetkit asked if there was anything he could do for her. She continued to cry, and explained the situation. Burnetkit eventually burst into tears too, and asked Blastkit to stop crying. The she-cat did so, and after a bit, proposed escaping camp. Originally unconvinced, Burnetkit asked for more details, slowly becoming more willing. However, in the end they just stayed in camp.

Burnetkit also met Otterkit, who was interacting with Seaweed when Burnetkit stumbled in camp. Wanting to make a better first impression, Burnetkit greeted the younger kit, having forgotten that they’d met already. The pair introduced themselves, but didn’t do much else.

Six moons:

Burnetkit was trying to socialise as much as possible with the other kits before he left the nursery, and once again started up a conversation with Tarantulakit. The two of them talked for a while, and eventually left the nursery to go find flowers and feathers. After quite a while, as they grew closer, they ended up with shiny pheasant feathers and decorated their nests.

He also spoke with his brother Bristlekit, as the kit was cloud watching. Burnetkit eventually joined him, fascinated by the clouds as well. They talked for a moment or two, about life and bugs and Bristlekit’s interests.

Then, it was time for the kits apprentice ceremony, and Burnetkit scrambled to the crowd as soon as his father called the meeting. (here, it took nearly two weeks for his mentor to be named, during which I started no new role-plays- but he got apprenticed to Darkglow!)

### Apprenticeship

Eight moons:

He spoke to Caneclatter, who was lying down with a headache. They exchanged small talk for a moment, before Burnetpaw asked him questions about the territory. Burnetpaw learned that Ruespring and Caneclatter were taking a break from each other.

He then met Hollysmoke, and asked her what it was like having such a long pelt. Both of them were grooming themselves as they talked.

Then Burnetpaw met his mentor for the first time, and they got along fine, going to the hunting grounds together, and Burnetpaw learned some basic skills.

He again interacted with his sister, Blastpaw, and the two of them caught up with what was going on in their respective lives. Burnetpaw was slightly jealous of Dustpaw getting Bubblecatcher as a mentor, but promptly tried to distract himself from this, instead changing the subject to trout. Blastpaw went over and tried a trout, and Burnetpaw decided to share with her, though he got a bite of scales and bones, and was not very happy about it. He tried a better bite, though, and quite enjoyed it. Blastpaw admitted that it wasn’t her favourite, but Burnetpaw figured it was more for him then.

He met Rabbitfoot, who had recently been made an elder, when the other cat was running to the warriors den, having forgotten something there as he moved his nest to the elder’s den. Burnetpaw inquired about his condition, worried that there was something wrong. Rabbitfoot clarified there wasn’t.

Burnetpaw sought out his mom, looking for comfort. He found her in the warrior’s den, and after a moment, the two went on a walk out to territory to escape the other warriors. He confessed that he was worried about becoming a warrior and felt unprepared, but Beechberry comforted him, telling him that she’d be proud of him no matter what. This soothed him, and they decided to go to Thunderfalls, on the way, Beechberry told him a story of how she used to keep Beestar’s feather in her nest, when he was a Shadowclan prisoner. Burnetpaw was intrigued, and asked questions about the tale. They had a nice time together.

Burnetpaw also met Zenithkit for the first time, when he’d come into the nursery to escape from the rest of the camp, because he’d fallen in the middle of it, and been quite embarrassed. They talked, and eventually got to the topic of favourite words. His was spectacular, hers was duck. She’d planned to say Duckie, her nickname for Dustkit, but she ended up just saying duck. Burnetpaw wondered why, and then voiced these wonders.

9 moons:

He met Tarantulapaw, newly apprenticed to Beestar, in the apprentices den, where the two exchanged basic greetings, before delving into conversation.  They spoke of the time they’d decorated their nests together, then Tarantulapaw suggested an adventure. Burnetpaw wasn’t particularly fond of adventure, but he didn’t want to disagree. So he accepted.  As they began to leave the den, Tarantulapaw began suggesting fun ideas, of various degrees of possibility. Some of them intimidated Burnetpaw, but he liked the idea of a pretend Spectacularclan, with Tarantulastar and Burnet...something. They brainstormed suffix ideas for him, with Burnetpaw proposing Burnetchatter. Overall, though the two never left camp, they had quite a bit of fun together.

Burnetpaw also went hunting in a group, with Tarantulapaw, Zenithpaw, Flickerdash, and Hollysmoke.

11 moons:

Burnetpaw talks to Caneclatter after the older tom comes back from visiting his kits. Though Burnetpaw is worried about Tarantulapaw’s disappearance, he attempts to put on a brave face. He learns that Caneclatter and his mate have had kits.

Tarantulapaw has returned to camp after being lost out in a storm for a quarter moon, and Burnetpaw sees his friend there, though he’s a bit disbelieving. The two are thrilled to reunite, however, and talk for a while.

Burnetpaw met his mom in the nursery, when he’d been looking for Caneclatter’s kits. He was obviously quite distracted by his mom being there, though, and put the pieces together in his mind, realising she was going to have kits. She acknowelgeded this as well, and they talked for a moment.

12 moons:

Burnetpaw’s mom, Beechberry, just died giving birth to Burnetpaw’s siblings. Burnetpaw was terribly aggrieved, and, while he was sobbing in his nest, encountered Dustpaw.

For the rest of that moon, Burnetpaw was antisocial and avoidant, trying to just not interact with cats at all, rather than have them see him sad.

13 moons:

While watching his younger siblings from the exit to the nursery, Burnetpaw accidentally encountered Cinnamonkit, who was quite energetic. She attempted to be mature, saying this word multiple times, but Burnetpaw didn’t get it. So he just pretended he did, which made Cinnamonkit happy.

Burnetpaw was made into a warrior by his father, along with his siblings (but not including Blisterpaw). The loss of Beechberry still echoed along with the family, and the ceremony was a bit bittersweet. He received the name of Burnetrose, and was praised for his perseverance and ingenuity. His siblings became Blastblizzard and Bristledream.

### Warriorhood

Continuation of 13 moons:

Encouraged by his positive interactions with the other kits in the nursery and having received his warrior name, Burnetrose decided that he should meet his younger siblings for the first time. He entered the nursery, and met Blisskit.

14 moons:

Burnetrose went to his father’s den to visit his dad, in hopes of temporarily moving in there. Beestar inquired about his presence, and, once Burnetrose had explained that the warrior's den was crowded and somewhat stressful, Beestar offered to have Burnetrose stay a little while in his den. Burnetrose, greatly relieved, asked if he could possibly bring his old nest in there, as he'd gotten reasonably attached to it. IPS

He met up with his older brother Bubblecatcher near the freshkill pile, the two being quite happy to see each other. After basic greetings, Burnetrose complimented Bubblecatcher on the multicoloured butterfly wings he wore in his pelt. The two talked for quite some time, sibling bonding, and it ended up with Bubblecatcher giving Burnetrose a butterfly wing of his own to keep in his nest.

After that, he met Bristledream in camp, where the two greeted one another and began to discuss the changing seasons. They had a nice interaction.

One muddy day after a rain shower, Burnetrose had gone hunting. Much to his dismay, however, Burnetrose stepped in a mud puddle. Feeling gross and icky, Burnetrose had proceeded as cautiously as he could back to camp. On his way, however, he ran into Tarantulapaw. Originally, the sight of his friend made him quite pleased, but when Tarantulapaw remarked on the dirtiness of Burnetrose's pelt, the tom almost began to cry. It had not been a great day, and he was emotionally drained, and terribly embarrassed. Thankfully, Tarantulapaw managed to comfort Burnetrose, and soon he turned the topic to the younger kits that were Burnetrose's siblings. This was nice to talk about, with Burnetrose almost nearly forgetting his messy pelt.

15 moons:

Continuing the trend of speaking to his family members, because it had gone pleasantly well so far, Burnetrose went to the warrior’s den in the early morning, and saw Blastblizzard, who was still half asleep. He attempted to wake her as quietly as he could, but it was to no avail, the fluffy, black and white warrior woke up yelling at Burnetrose, concerned of an intruder. Burnetrose panicked and cursed, but then, terribly embarrassed, did his best to soothe his sister. After a moment, the two left the warriors den, Burnetrose apologising profusely, and Blastblizzard, also apologising, stepping on a couple tails. The duo made it out eventually, however, and, after both apologised to one another, the conversation turned a bit more normal, inquiring about what one another had been doing.

While wandering in the territory on a sunny day, Burnetrose scented Cordelia, a kittypet. He scrambled up to her, summoning his confidence and desire for following rules to tell her that she should probably go. She didn't leave right away, mentioning he smelled similarly to Bristlepaw, given that she didn't know he'd become a warrior yet. Burnetrose replied that he was brothers with Bristledream, and so then Cordelia asked if he was Bubblecatcher, given that Bristledream had mentioned that he had a brother named that during a previous encounter with Cordelia. Burnetrose was quite pleased to mistaken for Bubblecatcher, given the way he looked up to his older brother, but corrected her. When asked why she was here by Burnetrose, Cordelia informed him that sometimes Bristledream came by here, and she hoped to meet him. Burnetrose replied that Bristledream wasn't currently there, but he could pass along a message. She informed Burnet to tell his brother that she said hi, and the two parted ways, Cordelia assuring Burnetrose that she'd head back to her side of the border.

As the sun was rising, Burnetrose encountered Zenithpaw. They talked for a brief moment, with Burnetrose commenting that she'd walked up quietly. After her response, he proposed going hunting, which she agreed to. They headed off to hunt.

Still in a quite sociable mood, Burnetrose stopped by the warrior's den later that day, and ran into Bumblekit, who was looking around the large den. He recognised Bumblekit as one of his siblings quite quickly, given her similar appearance to their father, and the two introduced themselves. Bumblekit seemed thrilled to have found another one of her siblings, and so Burnetrose offered to tell her more about the rest of their family members. Telling her of all the siblings he knew, including the missing Brookleaf and the never-present Blisterpaw, Burnetrose was then identified as Blastblizzard's littermate by his younger sister. They spoke a little bit more about family, with Burnetrose informing her more about their respective siblings.

A day or two later, early in the morning, Burnetrose, having found success during previous tiny sibling interactions, hovered about at the entrance to the nursery. He wasn't sure whether to go in, and was content just watching the little ones from afar, but then, getting a bit choked up thinking of his mom's absence in the den, he cleared his throat perhaps a bit too loudly, bringing Bunnykit's attention to him. Bunnykit approached him, and politely introduced themself. Burnetrose introduced himself as well, informing them that he was one of their brothers. Bunnykit proposed playing a game, and Burnetrose suggested a game called Questions, explaining it, but saying if they'd rather play anything else, that was also fine. Bunnykit politely declined, replying that they'd prefer to play the pebble game, and offering to teach him. Burnetrose agreed, but suggested the two of them go outside the nursery to do so, mentioning the more room, and the opportunity for badger rides out there. They went outside the nursery, and Bunnykit taught Burnetrose the pebble game. Burnetrose wasn't great, and Bunnykit ended up winning.

Having met so many of his younger siblings entirely by accident, Burnetrose decided to take his next encounter with one of them into his own paws, entering the nursery as the sun was setting. There, he found Buttercupkit, and, after he introduced himself, Burnetrose did so too, informing him that they were brothers. Buttercupkit attempted to say Burnetrose's name, but his short jaw made it difficult. Burnetrose, being the not so observant cat that he was, chalked it up to kithood behaviour, and proceeded on happily, asking if the kit wanted to play some sort of game.

16 moons:

Burnetrose placed third in the chestnut finding contest, alongside his partner Otterstride, much to his joy!

The morning after having a particularly bad dream, Burnetrose had come to sit at the freshkill pile. Though he couldn't remember the details, he remembered the anxious feelings of the dream, and they'd clung onto him. Being quite distracted, he bit into a bird at the pile, not realising that it was still feathered. Getting a mouthful of sparrow feathers, he began to cough, which drew Zenithmuse's attention, who scrambled over to ask if he was okay, slipping and falling on her way there. It was about then when he managed to cough out the feathers, and though the both of them were embarrassed, no long term harm was done. Their conversation started out a bit awkward, but soon, the topic was turned to Burnetrose's younger siblings, and both were happy to talk about them. IPS

Burnetrose ran into Dustflurry one day. He'd been just outside the camp, bringing back autumn leaves and their colours in his pelt, so he could decorate his nest. IPS

17 moons:

The lil siblings became apprentices! Burnetrose was quite happy for them.

While Tarantulahunter and Burnetrose were in the warrior's den, Burnetrose greeted the other, and received a greeting in return. Trying to make himself seem more cheerful and upbeat, Tarantulahunter bounced out of his nest, though the tom ended up landing on his face, remarking upon the not-so-greatness of his day. Burnetrose stifled a laugh, but attempted to comfort his friend, asking if he'd like to hear a slightly amusing story. Tarantulahunter realised the humour in his situation, and laughed, lightening the mood significantly. Since his friend had indeed asked for the story, Burnetrose began to recount the time when he'd nearly swallowed the feathers, exaggerating the details slightly so he showered himself and Zenithmuse in feathers. IPS

Feeling particularly content one day, Burnetrose was relaxing by the fresh-kill pile. His newly-returned sibling approached him, their kittypet bell ringing. They recognised Burnetrose, and called him Burnetkit. Turning at the sound of his former name, Burnetrose somewhat realised who this cat was. Brookleaf and Burnetrose caught up, bantering with one another, and discussing a variety of topics. All in all, it was a very wholesome roleplay, that ended up with the two siblings being quite a bit closer than before.

Wanting to congratulate some of of his younger siblings on becoming apprentices, Burnetrose spotted Blisspaw bringing some honeysuckles into the apprentices den, and so he said hi, and congratulated him. Seeing Blisspaw decorating his nest reminded Burnetrose of when he'd decorated his own nest with Tarantulahunter, way back, and so Burnetrose decided to give Blisspaw an apprenticeship gift. Leading him to the warrior's den super fast to stop by his own nest, the duo paused at Burnetrose's nest. That was where Burnetrose gave Blisspaw a pawful of shiny pheasant feathers to decorate his own nest with. He explained how he'd decorated his nest with Taran, and Blisspaw suggested that he add honeysuckles to the mix. Conversationally, Burnetrose mentioned that he didn't really have any experince with honeysuckles, so perhaps Blisspaw and himself could do that sometime. But Blisspaw took it literally, and Burnetrose just sort of rolled with it, focusing instead on the other question Blisspaw had asked, about whether Bubblecatcher and Burnetrose were from the same litter. IPS

While headed to the apprentices den to again check in on his younger siblings, Burnetrose met up with Bonepaw. Basic greetings were exchanged, IPS

18 moons:

On a dreary day, Burnetrose decided to get some hunting in before it rained. This took him to the border TC shared with WC, and it was there that he met Thrasherpaw for the first time. IPS
