Murderers in Riverclan V.2 [Roster Update 10/30]

[DaisieGames]

[Voting for Bramblingflower]

Lilystar sighed, clearly a bit stressed from all the deaths. "I'm still unsure of what's going on, but with StarClan not by our side, we have to do something to get them on our side again," the leader murmured to Lavenderleaf.

"Hold, it may take me a moment to remember this story. My mother told it to me when I was only a little kitten, so please bare with me... Many, many moons ago, long before Rosetail or Sweetnose were born and we settled near the lake, there lived a she-cat named Cloudberry and a tom named Ryewhisker. They, however, were from separate clans. Cloudberry was from Riverclan and Ryewhisker was from Windclan. Cloudberry was expecting Ryewhisker's kits and Ryewhisker believed the kits would end the territorial dispute between the two clans. But instead, in a battle, Ryewhisker was killed when he was trying to defend Cloudberry from his Clanmates. This led the Clans to form the first code and start a gathering place."

blazenose looked up from his work, his green eyes showing his worry as his whiskers shuddered. "you're certain?" he murmured quietly, though it was clear he knew the answer as he gathered the requested herbs and made his way to the elder's den. sadness passed over his face as he saw the ruddy tom's still body, sympathy blooming in his troubled heart. gently, he lay down the bundle in his jaws. "he was close," blazenose mewed, gently touching rosetail's flank with the tip of his tail. "we can't be certain this is related to the awful luck that has been bestowed upon us. sometimes, it is just time for a cat to go." his words were more for the clan than for the elderly she-cat--after all, she likely understood the way things were more than anycat else. those with the ache of time in their bones felt the call of starclan all too often.

"i will aid in the burial. everyone, please remain calm and rational." the medicine cat stood upright, taking a deep breath.

[ personally, i think it's shiverthorn because of two reasons: a) the hints in the titles seem to have to do with flowers, so i understand everyone rushing to vote brambling, but seed wouldn't give us that obvious of a hint. thorns are on roses, and roses are flowers, so i feel as though shiverthorn is a more likely candidate due to the less straightforward nature of her name. b) the killer seemed very familiar and casual with sweetnose. i believe that the killer is related to him in some fashion, and i do not believe the killer is rosetail.

furthermore, since brambling is expecting, she would not have left camp, and would not have been out with finchpelt. the killer cannot be her. ]

[ changing vote to shiverthorn; I also picked up on the flower references which is why I thought it was rosetail but now I thnk it's more likely to be shiverthorn ]

[changing vote to shiverthorn also]

Lilystar nodded and smiled. "Thanks Blazenose," the leader meowed, tail flicking. "But we need to figure out who is causing this bad luck for us," she murmured.

blazenose

the medicine cat nodded at his leader's words. "i understand the sentiment, truly," he returned. "i'm afraid i haven't had any luck contacting starclan. my dreams are empty, always empty..." the tom's voice dropped off as he quieted, deep in though, before something dawned on him. "flowers. when i dream, there's a vast blackness with no light, but it smells like newleaf in full bloom, like petals and dew and new life. perhaps that means something?" he suggested, before shaking his head. no, it was no good to speculate with such little evidence. yet, why did his gut turn over with determination?
