Lavaclan Training Hollow

Hazepaw was at first a bit confused by the instructions but she tried a move her sister made up, hoping it was similar. She faced Fallendawn and swiped at her face with her left paw, using the momentum to propel her to the right, and as soon as her her front paws landed from the swipe, she quickly turned on them so she was facing away from Fallendawn. Before her hind legs even landed, she kicked out, missing on purpose, right beside Fallendawn's head.
"Like that..?" She asked, after her hind legs landed and she had turned to face her mentor once more.

Fallendawn blinked. "Uh...not really. Only the first parts. But that might work too, I guess....although the hind leg thing could be inaccurate, as you could easily kick too high or not have enough room. If you don't have enough room, then the kick wouldn't be effective at all, and give plenty of time for the opponent to counter. Umm...." The mentor thought hard. Maybe the move she had demonstrated was too difficult for Hazepaw. So, she thought of an alternate. "Or you could just feint on one side and then quickly attack on the other. Here, I'll attack, and you defend naturally. Okay?"

Hazepaw thought for a moment. "Actually, it would be pretty hard to miss, because the opponent is already barreling forward into my legs.." Hazepaw stated. "And lack of room would turn it into a shove, not a kick, but it would still get the enemy
off balance."

Fallendawn mulled it over, but shook her head. "Yes, but if you asked for moves not based on strength, then the opponent is much likely much stronger than you. The claws in his flank might affect, but you'll unbalance yourself in the process of the shove and also have your back to the enemy, which you should avoid." Fallendawn narrowed her eyes. Had she ever talked back to her mentor when she was an apprentice?

Hazepaw's a bit arrogant, and its also way past time for her to be a warrior.

"Oh but remember, the point is to shove to the side so they are knocked off balance, not to shove them off of you. Cuz then you are redirecting their force, not opposing it." Hazepaw replied, cocking her head to the side, her jade grey-green eyes foggy and hidden.

ooc: didn't she like just become an apprentice?

Fallendawn's kind of bossy.

ic: Fallendawn lashed at the dirt. "Oh, and you're so battle experienced?" She tried to explain the rest in a patient manner, but felt a little annoyed. "Because of the lack of room, you would still be off-balance and showing your back by the way you told me you would shove. And even if you did redirect their force, which I agree with, you would have to kick hard enough so the opponent would be stunned for a long time. You need time to turn around and attack from the front using your temporary advantage."

Yeah but the thing is, she should have been a long time ago, so their warrior ceremony is long overdue and its happening after this training session. and i created fallendawn, she's supposed to be soft-spoken but its all good, you can change her.


ic: Hazepaw begain to get a little anxious. "Look, Fallendawn, I can't explain it, but this will work. It's worked on Wildpaw a million times, and she's bigger and stronger than me. I"ll show you." Hazepaw backed up, ready to show her move.

OOC-Nova, btw, you play as Fortunepaw as well
Oh and here is Fallens description. Might be a bit helpful
Fallendawn, is a light golden cat with a creamy white belly and chest. She has jet black points and white rings around her tail. Fallendawn is pretty much bipolar, she is outgoing with her friends and very quiet with strangers. She hates to argue, but loves to spar, and hates heights but is a great climber. She loves to swim, and her light golden coat gives her away in the forest when she's hunting, so he hates to hunt. Fallendawn's parents died of Greencough two winters ago, but her best friends are Dewpaw and Clearpaw, and her enemy is Ivorypaw. Flamepaw, supposedly, has a crush on her. Fallendawn has a hard time trusting cats, and is often daydreaming. She is pretty bossy, and gets her friends in trouble with her excursions, but always makes sure she is the one to take the hardest punishment.

IC-Jyxnwish, Plumpetal, Dragonblaze, Burnttree, Darkpaw, Tearpaw, Soulpaw, Icestar, Citrusfur, and Bubblefrost all entered the Training Hollow.

Wildpaw followerd her brother into the training hollow, observing her sister. "Soulpaw!" She hissed quietly. "Look at her move! This is the wierd one I was talking to you about, the one where the turns at the end. Watch!" She says, eyes intent on her sister.

OOC-Should we do a minor time skip after Haze does the move? So we can speed things along and get to the battle?

IC-Soulpaw watched Hazepaw, his eyes unblinking.

Their warrior ceremony is waaaaaaay overdue, it needs to happen

OOC-Exactly why I want to get to it. Time skip to after training and then warrior ceremony and then battle time!

We gotta do this one move though

Yeah I mean do the move, time skip, warrior ceremony and then battle.

Perfect

ooc; okay, do the move.

ic: Redpaw and Bluepaw entered the Training Hollow. The two brothers kept shoving each other, trying to trip the other into the dusty ground.

Greenpaw sneakily followed the scattered paw prints, leaving no trace. She could have been a spirit if not for her black pelt showing through the dried leaves on rare occasion. She was going to leap out and scare her littermates, but saw her mentor, Burnttree, up ahead, and ran to join him. After all, she had to learn some things eventually. Her mouse-brained brothers couldn't surpass her.

Hazepaw quickly sizes up her mentor ad crouches low to the ground, her misty blue eyes now sharp, calculating. She darted forward and feinted to the side, using her momentum and her mentor's momentum to pivot and drive her paws up under her mentor's chin and shoving lightly, giving the older cat a jolt. As soon as she felt her mentor's reaction, she flippe around and faced her "enemy" once more.

ooc: After this post, time skip? Should everyone just magically be back in camp for a meeting?

ic: Fallendawn was skepical and reluctant. "A strong cat would not be budged by that kick, but then again they probably wouldn't expect that," she admitted. "Kick harder next time."

OOC: im baaaaaaack! miss me? > i want icestar back :'o
(i came back becuz oceanstorm was pouting. i might not be able to come on that much, tho.)

IC: Icestar watched the training, amused. He thought back to his own days as an apprentice as he watched Hazepaw. He was kind of tired, so he thought he might lay down, but then he would get his white pelt all dusty! And that would just not do.

Hazepaw nodded. "Of course. But also, it messes with the cats neck by jerking the chin up, it'd create quite a jolt." She added, light blue eyes misty.

Wildpaw watched her sister and grinned. Finally standing up for herself. She thought to herself.

ooc: Yay! Ice is back! but *cough* really guys, can we do the timeskip now??

ooc: *POOF!* All the cats dissapear back into the camp
