hi crisis! <3 i have an idea... what if burningwing mentors shykit as well as cicadapaw?
the idea is a topic in which burningwing takes both apprentices hunting. of course, he favours cicadapaw, who shows off how a real shadowclan cat hunts. shypaw, with her bright white fur, is spotted by a predator and attacked. she won't make a sound, which makes for a good excuse to the clan...
burningwing watches from the shadows without lifting a claw to help, because of her outsider origins, and convinces cicadapaw not to help shypaw either.
shypaw is losing the fight until a raven swoops in to fight off the predator. in her first post i said there used to be an alliance with the ravens that shadowclan don't remember, so maybe burningwing and cicadapaw have heard of this and count it as part of an older truer shadowclan, or not.
shypaw has a throat wound and it looks like she'll die. burningwing and/or cicadapaw have second thoughts and rush her back to camp. being almost complicit in the death of a new apprentice might make them question/reinforce their values, probably scare cicadapaw, and be character development.
it might even cause a moral divide in shadowclan between those who suspect cats with outsider blood could be in danger and want to protect them and those who agree with blood purity.
i don't know if this is... a bit much i also don't know if it would be code-breaking, of 1. defend your clan, and borderline 12. no warrior may neglect of a kit in pain or danger, because even though she wouldn't be a -kit shypaw would be a new apprentice and under the protection of the older cats.
i don't mind if you don't like the idea i'd like the raven to help shypaw fight off a predator when she's out hunting no matter who mentors her... but this might be interesting?

Hiya! Like Tara said, I'm not sure how much of this would be allowed, but I certainly like the concept! If Burning can't mentor two cats and if the raven can't swoop in to save Shy, I still think Cicada would get cold feet about watching a cat die and come in to save her. Perhaps he, Burning, and Shy with her mentor are all on a patrol together?
Cicada acts all big and bad, he'll probably be really nasty to Shy (he's about to be in her new topic now, haha), but he couldn't watch another cat die right in front of him. It would definitely force him to think about his thoughts on rogues, realizing that they are just cats too, no matter how pure their bloodline is.
Or, another idea, Cicada is pretty close to becoming a warrior. Perhaps he could mentor Shy? Then Burning wouldn't have to mentor two cats and it would give him a bit more of an incentive to save her. All of these are just ideas until we know how much will be allowed by staff. It's got a lot of character development potential though and I'm willing to see this out. (I love Shy too, btw )

i'm so excited you're willing to see this out, in whatever way it ends up being allowed!
i really like all your ideas! even if the raven is allowed and burning mentors her, i'd love for cicada to save shy! i also love the idea of cicada mentoring her why murkystrike decides to give shy to burning or cicada i don't know, sorry mosspelti'm not sure how it'll work if someone else mentors shy since it's burning and his influence over cicada which i think lets this situation be set up, but this will definitely work somehow
i'm very happy for cicada to be mean to shy and i love the idea of her challenging his values! (i love cicada too ...and i love your art btw it's amazing!)

Yes, I can definitely see Shy giving Cicada a small identity crisis. (or should I say, mediocre crisis? hardy har)
I also crave a bullying topic when Shy becomes an apprentice too, either before or after the predator incident. I could totally see Cicada trying to redeem himself after saving her but it just... isn't working? He doesn't feel any better verbally berating Shy and just feels bad. Then he gets angry at himself and just doesn't have a good time, haha.

yes please i'd love a bullying topic and i really like that idea cicada can bully shy any time before that as well, like her current topic or apprentice ceremony or he could shove her in the mud before her first gathering (which i'd like to be this month if she's apprenticed in time to to go) or at the beginning of the predator topic... and then him trying to redeem himself! he doesn't have to bully her at all those opportunities haha, but there are lots of options

Sounds good to me! I'd love to have them meet again. I can make another topic for them if you'd like!

Definitely! Just contact me when she's an apprentice and I'd love to make a topic for them! He'd probably have a bit more courage to be directly nasty when she isn't a kit anymore. Even he acknowledges knocking around a child doesn't reflect well on him, haha
Subject: Re: Plotting with Crisis Wed Nov 03, 2021 5:22 pm
i love cicada. he's an immature gremlin but he still has morals. i'm excited to see his development!
i have an update for you!
mosspelt sent me this message:
Ohh, I definitely see where you're going with it!
So first, Murkystrike knows how Burningwing feels about any cat that isn't pure ShadowClan, so she wouldn't apprentice poor Shykit to him... However, we could work it out so that Shypaw is accompanying them for a hunting training while her mentor is occupied elsewhere. We could discuss with whoever their mentor is, or if you wanted I could have Murkystrike herself mentor her so we don't have to bring in someone else. Just let me know what you'd prefer!
As far as the raven, it would probably make more sense if the predator involved is a bird, and the reasoning could be that they have a nearby nest that they're trying to protect, and not just solely that they want to help Shypaw. There shouldn't be any issue with that.
As far as the wound and the doubt, I'm all for that as long as Tara (Burningwing) and MediocreCrisis (Cicadapaw) are! You should double check with them, and we all can help get a plot going for the code-breaking (defend your clan) and get it approved!
I think it's a super interesting idea, and I think it will go well. We just want to be sure everyone is on board with it, and get it approved so there's no issues! Murky will not be happy with Cicada and Burning, mostly Burning, when they comes back with a heavily wounded new apprentice and no wounds on themselves, so that would be really interesting.
so, i need to double check with you that you want cicada to do this

YES! That is Cicada spot on, lol! He just wants to be a good warrior, but he is very confused on what that means, haha
I'm totally fine with all of this as long as everyone else is good to go! I really think this would be interesting for character development and I love to torture my characters mentally, haha
