Alright guys, a few things first:
@Cas: Blindbriar is accepted! Although her picture isn't working again, but feel free to go ahead and start using her, I'll just need that fixed soon.
@LapisWolf and PaintingPony: I put reposts for your characters down below if you want to catch up.
Flamepaw and Cherrypaw of Morningclan both need mentors. Somebody must claim them within the next day or else make a new character to mentor them. Those who may claim them right now are Goldstorm, Snowstorm, Oakbelly (Cherrypaw only obviously), and Cedarwing. Any takers?
Cloverstar of Nightclan must pick a new deputy seeing as Nighthawk no longer exists. LapisWolf, the choice is yours:
Smokefur
Springfall
Shadowleap
Shadefang
On that note, Crowpaw picks Shadefang as his mentor.
Finally, leaders! I completely forgot about this at the start of the rp, but I need to know how many lives each leader has. Hawkstar currently has 8.

Hawkstar laid his tail gently on Fernpaw's back. "Don't worry," he soothed. "I know it's normal to get excited at your age. Just...try to keep it under control, that's all." As he took his eyes off his apprentice, he noticed his older niece, Flamepaw, had sat down not far off and was watching them silently. "Yes, let me guess," he began, sounding slightly annoyed. "You'd like to join a patrol, wouldn't you?"
(Reposts for Eveningwhisper and Goldstorm, Snowstorm went to ask them if they want to join a hunting patrol.)
Cradily wrote:"Very good." But before Hawkstar could say anything else, Gallwave and Snowstorm had approached. "Good morning, Gallwave, Snowstorm," he said, nodding a greeting to them. "Yes, Nightshade and I are taking our apprentices on the dawn patrol, but there is still prey to be hunted." He scanned the camp, and seeing that Eveningwhisper had gone to fetch Daisypaw, continued, "Why don't you take a hunting patrol out with Eveningwhisper, Daisypaw, and Goldstorm? If any of the other apprentices are up, go ahead and take them too."
Dragon-Queen wrote:Snowstorm greeted Hawkstar with a polite nod of her head. She listened as they were discussing patrols, and smiled as Gallwave included her. As she watched, she noticed a slight difference in attitude, and thought there may be even more reason to be on the same patrol. She thanked Hawkstar, then padded to Eveningwhisper and Daisypaw, and called for Goldstorm. "Would you guys like to go on a hunting patrol with me and Gallwave? We've already talked to Hawkstar, and we can start to head off now if we would like to."
Cradily wrote:Daisypaw jumped slightly at the sound of her mentor's voice, but relaxed once she realized who it was. She looked uncertain for a moment, then nodded and rose to her paws. "Sure." It would do her good to get out. Plus, she always liked being with Eveningwhisper. It hadn't even been a moon since her apprentice ceremony, but she still remembered how relieved she'd been when Eveningwhisper had claimed her before--A crow's cawing in the distance interrupted her thoughts and she quickly rose to her paws, shaking out her fur. "Let's go." But she had barely left the den when Snowstorm approached and asked if they wanted to join the hunting patrol. Daisypaw looked up at Eveningwhisper to see what she would say.

Brightstep yawned slightly when she felt the kits begin to stir. When Foxkit left the nursery the white she-cat followed after her. "Is something wrong Foxkit?" she asked softly as she took a seat next to her adopted kit.
Cedarwing finished organizing his herb store, not that it was that bad anyway. He stretched his limbs one at a time before walking out into the camp. He wanted to check on Brightstep and her kits. As the weather got colder, it would be important to make sure they didn't get sick. He knew they were getting older and they'd be apprentices soon, but while they were still in the nursery, he would check up on them often. The tom walked smoothly across camp, noticing Brightstep stepping out of the nursery now. "Good morning Brightstep" Cedarwing meowed, glancing at Foxkit who sat nearby.

Lakekit yawned and blinked when she felt Foxkit and Brightstep leave. After prodding Feahterkit with a paw she followed her mother and sister out into camp. "Did you have a bad dream?" she asked with a slight tilt of her head. "I know Featherkit gets them sometimes." When the medicine cat approached she gave a small nod to him before turning her attention back to Foxkit

Featherkit groaned softly after Lakekit's prod before getting to his paws. "Wait for me," he meowed as he raced after the gray she-cat. "Morning Foxkit," he meowed. "Did Lakekit wake you up to?" He glanced over at Cedarwing when he walked over and waved at him with his tail.

"Good morning Cedarwing," Brightstep meowed with a small dip of her head. "How are you this morning?" she asked as she curled her tail around the kits. Her ears twitched back towards the nursery to keep an ear out for Thrushkit just in case he needed her.
"I'm fine" Cedarwing meowed. He paused for a moment and glanced at the kits before turning back to Brightstep. "I just came over to check on how you are doing. Are all the kits feeling okay?" he asked calmly.
Dayclan
"Everything looks fine on my side, too," Firestorm called. "Maybe I should go check the exterior of the den again. Sometimes there's cracks on the outside that we can't see on the inside." The truth was he just wanted to get out of the cramped den at this point. Squeezing past his clanmates and being careful not to accidentally tread on someone's tail, he slipped out of the nursery only to nearly bump into Eagleclaw. "Oh, look who's finally awake," he joked. "Come to join the party in the nursery?"
(Reposts for Hornetpaw, Bluefire and the apprentices are all basically talking about fixing the dens and Tigerpaw suggests that Bluefire takes them all out hunting before the rest of their mentors come find them.)
"Hi Tigerpaw" Windpaw meowed, greeting his denmate. He let his gaze wander the clearing for a moment and noticed that most of the warriors seemed to still be in their den. "I guess it's still special if you're up before your mentor" Windpaw offered, waving his tail.
"I only woke up because there's a draft in the den," Tigerpaw mewed, letting out a shiver. "And I only got up because I saw you guys were gone. I thought I might have overslept." She glanced around camp and added, "Yeah, it looks like we're up before most of the warriors. What should we do? Sneak out?" Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Windpaw's mentor, Mintfoot, exit the warriors' den, and it looked like he was talking to some other warriors behind him--which meant the others were awake. "Oh, mouse-dung," she muttered. "There goes that idea." It was then that she noticed Ivypaw exit the apprentices' den as well and waved to her with her tail. "Hey, Ivypaw!"
"Oh that would've been fun" Windpaw meowed, with a sigh. He followed Tigerpaw's gaze towards the apprentice den, noticing Ivypaw had come out of the den and gave a friendly wave of his tail. That's when the warriors leaving their den caught his eye. He nodded respectfully as Bluefire approached.
Bluefire followed the other warriors out of the den, hanging back a bit to let them go ahead. She didn't want to crowd Swanstar too much, especially if she was still sleeping. Bluefire waved her tail to the warriors as if to say go on ahead and padded over to the group of apprentices chatting in camp. "You guys are up early" she meowed as she approached the group. She paused in front of them, sitting down to talk with them. "How was your sleep? Have the repairs we've done to the apprentice den held? Or are there cracks that we've missed?" Bluefire asked, hoping their den was better than the warriors den.
"Hey, Bluefire," Tigerpaw greeted her mentor casually. "I slept fine, but the den is still a little drafty. It held for most of the night though." When she cast a look at the dens, she could see now that they clearly had a few cracks--more than she'd thought. "I thought the dens were in better condition yesterday..." she muttered. "Did they just like, fall apart overnight? I didn't think it was that windy."
Ivypaw blinked when Tigerpaw and Windpaw waved to her and she slowly made her way over to them. "Um, good morning," she meowed softly. When Bluefire joined them she dipped her head slightly in greeting. "I didn't really notice any drafts where I was sleeping," she meowed.
"I'm not sure exactly what happened but that would be my best guess" Bluefire meowed. She glanced towards the apprentice den before continuing. "We need to make sure that all the dens hold up for leaf-bare. I don't want cats catching colds" she meowed, worried that other dens might be damaged like the warriors den.
Windpaw hadn't notcied anything wrong with their den but then again, he was usually a very heavy sleeper. Windpaw glanced at the warriors den, now seeing cracks in the sides. He was surprised he hadn't noticed how bad it was when he had first awoken. They had just fixed it how could it be cracked already?
Tigerpaw nodded in agreement. "Can it wait til after training though?" She didn't want to start her morning patching up dens. She noticed, however, that all of their mentors save for her own were in the nursery at the moment. "Wait, I know! You should take me, Hornetpaw, Windpaw, and Ivypaw out hunting before Firestorm, Mintfoot, and Swanstar come out."
Nightclan
"Don't look at me," Smokefur let out a purr of amusement. "I'm not your mentor. I'm only waiting on Sweetpaw." He looked up at the still-lightening sky and added, "Besides, it's only dawn. I don't think anybody is in a rush to get out." He spotted Autumnshade a little ways off and raised his tail to wave to her. "Morning, Autumnshade."
