Opalshine (Ceremony)

[*Sinister*Dreams*]

((I know that Opal arrived during Honeystar's time, however it's a bit weird to RP a dead leader. So I've decided to just have her ceremony.))

Nimblestar flicked his tail as he arrived to camp, ignoring the looks of remote anger that recieved him. Though they didn't hurt more than a knife without a hand to hold it, it would be nice if it died down someday. No one wants to be in a room full of knives, people or not. He didn't even need to call the cats, as everyone seemed to have already gathered to see what he could do wrong first. It was a bit unnerving, actually. Nimblestar shot down the glares with his own icy blue eyes. As usual, he dared them to do something about it. Leaping quietly onto the tree stump, he motioned for Opal to take her place in front of him.

"Cats of MapleClan, a cat has chosen to join us by the name of Opal. Tonight, I leave that name as Opal. One sunrise she will have a proper ceremony, but for now she remains as such. We all know our clan is in need of a medicine cat, and if she proves to do well at it, she will be our medicine cat. Opal has already agreed to these terms, and I expect you to give her your respect."

Again Nimblestar's eyes flashed in challenge. He would leave out the part that Opal came from the two-legs for her own safety. Many cats didn't like the idea, and because of this they could often become violent. He rather hoped not, but it remained probable.

"She will have short training as a warrior underneath Degupelt, and I will help her with medicine. When we have seen which she excells in, I will make a decision along with Shadeflower. Are there any concerns or questions?"

His voice flamed, mainly at the cats who glared hardest. it was well known he could out-stare most cats anyways.

[Opal]

Opal stood by Nimblestar, using every last bit of her bravery. These cats looked confused, wondering what a strange cat like her would be doing up here. She looked all around. Even the pregnant she-cats were curious. Most cats glared at her. What had she done to them?

She looked questioningly at Nimblestar. She would love to be a medicine cat, but she reminded herself to be cunning and take what she can get. She sat down puffing out her chest fur, and wraped her tail around her. Rethinking Nimblestar's words.

[H-a-w-k-i-e]

Scorpionpaw sat eyeing the she-cat he'd thrown acorns earlier. Hm. She seemed to be fitting in well enough. Perhaps she'd make a decent medicine cat after all.
"Hey. Congratulations on getting into the clan. The whole medicine cat thing too. Maybe we can train together."
The bronze tom hadn't been as active lately, since the passing of Honeystar seemed to have dampened the mood a little in the clan. Don't get him wrong, though, he was very glad that Nimblestar was leader, but still.

[Opal]

Opal turned and looked at the young cat. She grinned. "I'll be looking forward to it." She mewed. "I didn't catch your name."

[H-a-w-k-i-e]

A brief smile flickered across Scorpionpaw's dark face, and he bowed a little, the usual mischief shining in his hazel gaze.
"Scorpionpaw, m'lady. A pleasure to meet you."
Straightening out of his bow, his ears and tail twitched with amusement. Maybe she wasn't gonna be soo bad after all.

[Opal]

"All the pleasure is mine Scorpionpaw." Opal smiled at the young cat. He has many things to learn, but to be this cunning at this young of an age is a pure blessing.
