Murderers in Riverclan V.3 [welcome back!]

Goosepaw • Male • Apprentice • Tags; Wrenpaw

The tall, hairless tom woke upon Wrenpaw's stirring, the silent commotion enough to pull him from his rest. Each time he opened his eyes he expected to see another clanmate dead or gone - he'd been the one to find Amberpaw, then Budgiepaw was sent away? Memories still sent sickened chills down his spine. Though it wasn't like he could go pester his mentor about it - Sparrowdusk had lost two kits in the same day. A cat would have to be an idiot to complain to the tom so soon.

Goosepaw pulled himself quickly out of his nest, swiping stray scraps of moss away with his tongue in hopes of providing some sense of routine to his shaken psyche. Hunting would be good, right? But... Sparrowdusk. Massive ears pinned back against his head, Goosepaw skittered out of the apprentices den, nearly knocking into Wrenpaw in his haste. "Oh!" He breathed, ducking his head in a brief apology. "Didn't see you, sorry." Any other day he would've made some joke about Wrenpaw loafing around and getting under his paws, but it didn't feel right. Not this morning. Goosepaw paused for a moment, surveying the other carefully before his maw curled into a nervous frown. "Hey, um, if Ivyshade takes you out for training today, would it be alright if I asked to tag along? I want to be useful, but I don't feel right bothering Sparrowdusk about it, y'know?"

Blossomsong smiled gently at her mate. "Thank you. Even though I have sorrow and worry it is probably nothing compared to Skyheart's pain." Blossomsong sighed,"I wish there was something nice I could do for Skyheart, or maybe there is something nice the whole clan can do for her."

Ravenpaw | Tom | Med cat App | Tags: Duskflower

Ravenpaw's ears shot up as Duskflower entered the den, and he stumbled to his paws awkwardly. He listened to her question intently, blinking away sleep. "He might be hungry. Newborn kits mewl whenever they are hungry, cold, or uncomfortable.... and sometimes kits just mewl. " the tom walked over to the storage, picking up a few borage leaves. "Since you're here," he mumbled through the leaves, "eat these. They'll help you produce more milk. Afterwards I'd suggest just letting Goldenkit suckle, and you could try grooming him to calm him down." He placed the borage leaves at Duskflower's paws.

FireFeather smiled at his mate. She always had such a sweet heart- such a drive to do what’s good for others. He didn’t naturally have that same compassion, but BlossomSong had given him insight into how to better himself in this way.
He took a deep breath, thinking of a way to help. He didn’t know of much, especially with how strange the current situation was. “I’m sure we can figure something out.” He rested his tail over hers as he sat down next to her.

Name: Honeystorm
Sex: Molly
Rank: Warrior
Mate: Badgercloud
Kits: Crowpaw, Nightpaw, Petrelpaw
Apprentice: None
Tags: Open (by the freshkill pile)

Honeystorm woke with a yawn and a stretch. She shook sleep from her body and daintily stepped from her nest into the main camp, where cats were already awake and talking. She walked over to the freshkill pile and grabbed a minnow, as she wasn't very hungry yet. A fresh pang of grief hit her as she remembered the death of Amberpaw and the exile of Budgiepaw; she would never, could never forgive herself for letting that happen. But that was then, and this was now. She had to be strong for her kits. For her mate. For her clan.

Wrenpaw - she-cat - apprentice - tags: Goosepaw, Ivyshade, open

Wrenpaw jerked back, startled, with a little yelp. She ducked her head in embarrassment when she realized it was Goosepaw. "Sorry," she murmured instinctively, shuffling her paws shyly, silently cursing at her awkwardness. Amberpaw's death and Budgiepaw's exile have made me jumpier than usual, I suppose.
At Goosepaw's question, Wrenpaw glanced around the camp with wide blue-green eyes. "I'm sure that's fine - although I can't seem to find Ivyshade," she mewed with a slight frown. Her tail twitched in worry. "If we can't find her I guess we can ask Flametail to join a patrol or find another warrior to bring us out." Her heart gave a tiny anxious leap at the thought of her father. I hope he's alright. She made a quick mental note to check on Quailtail, Glimmerpaw, and Butterflykit later in the day.

Skyheart / Female / Mate: Sparrowdusk / Kits: Deceased / Warrior / Tags: None

Skyheart walked out of the Warrior Den and sighed. She felt alone, didn't know where to turn, and she felt brokenhearted. She didn't know what to do next.....she had lost two kits in one day, a mate that didn't support her, and her mother: wait, did her mother even love her anymore? Skyheart looked towards Ivyshade, but then turned back to looking at the ground. If her mother cared, she wouldn't of voted for her grandson. Skyheart just wished she could find someone who actually loved and appreciated her: the clan didn't, or else they wouldn't of voted Budgiepaw. Skyheart stared at her paws and just laid down. She wasn't crying at the time, but internally she was full of sadness.

Sunsoar frowned, his expression saddening as she spoke. "I don't hate you," he offered. "Uh, if that makes you feel any better to know, that is. And...everyone's tense. He may still love you, but he loves his clan more. Which every warrior should, if I'm honest. Love their clan more than their mate, or, er, prospective mate, right? If he truly believed that exiling Budgiepaw was the best thing to do to protect his clan, it doesn't mean he doesn't love you. It just means that he understands his duty as a warrior. Uh, does that make sense? I haven't been a warrior in almost sixteen seasons, but...it's largely the same for medicine cats. If not moreso." He didn't make a move to stop Skyheart from walking away, but his gaze followed her nonetheless.

Skyheart / Female / Mate: Sparrowdusk / Kits: Deceased / Warrior / Tags: Sunsoar

Skyheart looked at Sunsoar. "No, it wasn't best for the clan. Budgiepaw didn't do it, and he knew it! It was his choice, and even Whisperstar didn't vote for him! I loved Riverclan, but now I'm losing hope for the clan and for myself. I might as well be in Starclan at this point, I'm nothing here." Skyheart's eyes softened and she sighed. "Don't talk to me for awhile." Skyheart turned around and walked away, padding out of camp. She walked to her favorite spot up the tree in the nest and curled into a ball.

Brightfire felt her claws flex as she stretched and shook out her fur. With a loud yawn, she slunk out of the warriors den. She looked around for a patrol she coukd possibly join. Bieng trapped in camp was no fun.
