@C a s
I'm fine with that! Would they have been hunting near the border before Specklethorn got involved with the RippleClan border patrol? I'm assuming that Moonbeam, Nightbreeze, and Meadowpaw are nowhere near them?

[SilentMelody]

@Cas I think that would be a good way to play things out! It could make for some good drama, and I can imagine Amberpaw jumping into the hostilities and fighting with the cats.

Snowstar will have a death ceremony once the patrol returns with the news and reassignment for mentors for Squirrelpaw & Amberpaw (I believe those were the only two, correct me if I'm wrong).

[Animals65]

@Cas I think that would be a good idea in regards to Windy's cats!

[C a s]

@cas; I think you're confusing Meadowpaw with Amberpaw, Meadowpaw is Squirrelpaw's sister. But we can still say Amberpaw did invite her and Specklethorn along, and I would agree that Specklethorn is quite hostile. And then after I'm guessing they return from the battle after some morning then both the two apprentices will have their new mentors assigned by Snowstar?
I'll adjust my last post for Squirrelpaw then in a little while!

Oh no, I was meaning as Amberpaw is Patchcloud's apprentice! Since Patchcloud and Specklethorn are littermates, I think it would make sense for Patchcloud to invite she and Squirrelpaw along. She was already fetching Amberpaw to go out hunting with Sunmuzzle and Smoketail. c: And yes, as Silent said Snow will handle it when they're back.

I'm glad nobody has any objections; I'll make a post soon skipping them forward a little bit so that it adds up.

@wild - nothing too specific! I ask if you want your characters to participate in the prophecy poll that they be at least a bit older, though only one role seriously requires a cat with age under their belt. c:

[stormythecloud]

OH! Yeah no that makes so much more sense now, I was confused I thought you meant Amberpaw inviting Squirrelpaw and not Patchcloud inviting Specklethorn. Sorry about that ^-^

[greatwoman]

@C a s; I don't have any problem with this plan of action. It sounds like it'll be fun!

Also, has anyone offered to take over RippleClan's medicine cat? If not, I'd love to do it. I can continue on as Rainwatcher, or I can make my own character. Whatever works for the sake of the game

[C a s]

I will slowly be working on my post throughout the day - sorry guys, didn't have time to finish it at the moment! Okay I take that back, they're all finished now lol. I apologize for anyone I was short with, I've got a lack of motivation right now.

I went ahead and established the Ash/Ripple border clash; it will be the first one where deaths are involved. This time, though, the RippleClan patrol is obviously outnumbered, so the weather will be doing the most of it. In my next post, I'll be using Specklethorn and Troutwhisker as the instigators. Here's what's gonna happen: Troutwhisker and Specklethorn will start fighting on the log that the Clans use as a bridge, they'll fall in and get swept away by the current, and Patchcloud will die recovering Specklethorn's body. If it's all the same to you guys, it would be helpful if the more responsible AshClan warriors stopped anyone else from going after them, as three deaths will be enough drama; and the same for Foxstrike, if he could be Willowpaw's crutch to keep her from trying to save Troutwhisker. c:

@greatwoman - saw your PM first, replied to you there! Just so everyone else is also aware though yes, the spot is yours.

Everyone's outsiders have been added to the front of the discussion thread on the post Cats Outside the Clans! If anything is incorrect or unlisted, let me know!

Also, @everyone: if you want your outsider considered in the polls and haven't created them, please PM me. Otherwise, the first of the two will be going up tomorrow! If you do not PM me, the poll will be going up and your outsider may be left out of the first one, so please try to do that if at all possible!

So far, the cats being listed on the poll tomorrow will be:
Chip
Auberon

Everyone else that's made an outsider already has a prophecy role - so if no one PMs me by tomorrow, I'll just be working it out to assign one of the two roles to these two cats. So if you want a spot this prophecy, please don't forget to PM me and create your outsider ASAP!

I may drop from the RP
I've had a lot going on in such a short time, ranging from school to my mental health, and it's been taking a toll on me
If I do end up dropping, I wish for my characters' deaths to be RPed out as I don't really like others playing as them
I know, I know, I said I'd get a post up but all this stuff I'm dealing with is really dragging me down
Sorry to everyone who is waiting on a reply from me

[greatwoman]

What have I gotta do to make you love me?
What have I gotta do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there
What do I do to make you want me?
What have I gotta do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

♤ Personality: ♤
Alderpelt is a good medicine cat with a close connection to StarClan. He cares for each of his clanmates as if they were his own kits. He has little tolerance for nonsense, he is very business like and therefore doesn't have many friends. He also has little tolerance for stupidity. If someone gets hurt doing something dumb, he will be the first to give them a good scolding as soon as they are well enough to hear it. He is loyal to his clan, but he was very friendly with the other medicine cats before AshClan was formed. He believes that sharing knowledge (and occasionally herbs) is a great way to keep all the clans healthy.
♧ History: ♧
Alderkit was born into the clan. He had two siblings, but one of them, Mothkit, was stillborn, so his mother was more protective of her two remaining kits. From the time he opened his eyes, Alderkit was the "black sheep" of his family. His sister was so set on becoming a warrior like their parents that the two siblings didn't have much in common. His mother always expected and encouraged Alderkit to become a warrior, but Alderkit never wanted to. Instead, while his sister was sneaking out of camp and getting into trouble, he spent most of his time in the medicine den, helping Rainwatcher sort herbs and treat simple ailments. When the time came for Alderkit to become an apprentice, Rainwatcher suggested that he become her apprentice. He was overjoyed that she thought he would be a good enough medicine cat to become her apprentice, and he hurriedly told his mother and sister about it. Silverkit didn't understand why he wouldn't be training with her, and she was disappointed, but their mother was almost angry that he didn't want to become a warrior. She begged Rainwatcher not to take him on, but Rainwatcher stood firm, so Alderkit did become the medicine cat apprentice. His father seemed indifferent, like he didn't care what Alderkit did as long as it was to serve the clan. When Alderkit was made an apprentice a moon before Silverkit, Blizzardstrike didn't even attend his naming ceremony. From that day on, he barely ever spoke to his mother. She seemed to purposely avoid him, and devoted all her time, attention, and praise to Silverpaw. Alderpaw never understood why his mother would turn her back on him just because he wanted to be a medicine cat, and he was hurt. He tried to talk to her but she would always avoid him or find some reason to leave whenever he cornered her. Finally, with a heavy heart, he gave up trying to speak with her, and decided to focus on his training as a medicine cat. When Blizzardstrike became ill with greencough, Alderpaw felt conflicted about helping treat her. He wanted to help her because she was his mother and clanmate, but he was still bitter about how she had treated him. He settled for helping indirectly whenever he could. He would gather herbs and sort them while Rainwatcher tended to all the sick cats. When Blizzardstrike moved to the medicine den, it was harder to avoid her, and Rainwatcher had him giving water to her and doling out catmint. Silverpaw was there all the time, it seemed, and that only added to Alderpaw's frustration. How could his mother and sister be so close, when Blizzardstrike had wanted nothing to do with him just because he was a medicine cat? As Blizzardstrike's condition worsened, Alderpaw found himself spending more and more time in the den with her, but she never made an attempt to speak to him. On the night that Blizzardstrike died, Silverpaw and Carptooth were there in the den as close as Rainwatcher would allow. Alderpaw's frustration with his family had peaked, and he began to storm out of the den to get away from the sick and grieving cats, but Blizzardstrike called to him from her nest. He almost didn't turn around, but he forced himself to go back in. She was weak, so Alderpaw had to lean close to hear what she was saying. She asked for water. Alderpaw had to force himself not to spit in her face, but he begrudgingly gave the dying she-cat water soaked moss. He waited a minute to see if she would say anything else to him, but she closed her eyes and went to sleep. With tears in his eyes, he left the medicine den and went out into the forest. He found a small clearing in the trees and sat there looking up at the stars until dawn. When he finally returned to camp, he saw his mother's body laying in the center of camp. She had died while he was out. He didn't go over to sit vigil with her, instead, he made himself busy in the medicine den, gathering herbs to treat other sick cats. As he made his rounds through camp, cats murmured their condolences to him, but Alderpaw was past the point of caring. If his mother couldn't be proud of him, or even seem to care about him before she died, nothing he could do now would change her mind. Time went by and Alderpaw excelled at his medicine cat training, and he received his full name, Alderpelt. As he grew closer to StarClan and the medicine cats from other clans, he had grown even more distant from his sister and father, and when the fire swept through the territories and killed Carptooth, Alderpelt barely felt sorrow for his father. It was like losing just another clanmate instead of his father. Now, Alderpelt busies himself helping Rainwatcher keep the clan healthy and watching for guidance from StarClan regarding AshClan's hostility and Snowstar's greed for territory.
