[ roles have been sent! waiting on the kill. ]

[Areater]

berryfoot awoke slowly, his head rising slowly from his nest and a grumble releasing from his jaws. he heard pawsteps by the fresh-kill pile and decided to get some prey too. he might as well - he had already been awoken. when he went to the pile, the other midnight snacker was gone. with a yawn, he pulled away a blackbird and took a bite. the taste was odd, and he glanced back down at the bird, expecting to see that he had accidentally bit into crowfood. to his surprise, he saw some purple berries glistening in it's stomach. he spit them out, assuming it to be the prank of an apprentice, but as his vision blurred, he realized these weren't just any berries. he tried to shout for help, but he couldn't speak. with a silent wail building in his chest, he collapsed into the arms of starclan just as he saw the killer return to their den.
oh no, thunderclan, a witness has been killed! you must find the killer before you are wiped out forever.

[Ahhh, first off to be killed! Murderer, please don't PM me; I'll try to figure out the murderer myself because I feel it's more exciting. ]

» Magpienose » Female » Thirty-six moons » Black and white with yellow eyes » At Berryfoot's body » Shocked and horrified

» Magpienose awoke from her sleep early that morning, blearily blinking her eyes. She opened her mouth in a toothy yawn and stretched. Her namesake sung outside the den, and she smiled. I'll go hunting later, she thought. Despite their feathers, Magpienose's favorite prey was birds.

She was broken out of her cheerful mood when she saw Berryfoot lying on the ground, his mouth open and his eyes glazed.
Her heart skipped a beat. What- or who did this to her clanmate?
She found the culprit soon enough. A small pile of chewed purple... something lay at his open mouth. A blackbird lay at his side.

Horrified, Magpie nose rolled it over, and her stomach plunged.
The blackbird's open stomach was filled with berries.

She let out a wail, stumbling back, her yellow eyes fixed on Berryfoot's eyes.
But he didn't look back.«

[~Static~]

Snowthorn heard a cat cry out from outside the warrior's den. Opening her eyes on confusion, she quickly realized Magpienose was not in her nest. The white she-cat jumped to her paws and bounded out of the den, fur raised. "Magpienose?" She meowed, spotting the warrior standing by the fresh-kill pile, but not seeing past her. As she took a few steps forward, the corpse of Berryfoot suddenly came into her line of sight.

Her stomach dropped, and her eyes widened. She stumbled back slightly in shock. "Oh Starclan..." She murmured, unable to speak louder than a broken whisper due to the lump in her throat.

[A Voice Among Many]

Acornpaw eyes snapped open when she heard a wail coming from one of her clan mates. Her short legs pushed her body off of her bedding and she ran out of the apprentice den to find out what had happened. Seeing three cats at the fresh-kill pile, she hurried over. She was about to ask, but had already seen the elder on the ground. The expression on the tom's face horrified the she-cat. She push her nuzzle into him in attempt to get him up. "Berryfoot, please get up!" She pleaded him as her body shook in fear.

Newtmask awoke to the sounds of multiple yowls - the medicine cat huffed and got up grumpily, he stood in shock as the cats crowded arond Berryfoot's body. The tom rushed to the lifeless cat's side in an instant, he looked around and found a blackbird - filled with unusual looking berries. Newtmask's stomach dropped, "Deathberries.." he trailed off, his voice raspy and laced with sorrow. He hung his head, who would poison a elder?

» Magpienose looked at Acornpaw, her eyes filled with sorrow. "Acornpaw..." she croaked. "Berryfoot won't get up. He's... gone." She bowed her head, silent and trembling.

How had the berries gotten into the bird? Magpienose had a sinking feeling about that. She glanced at Snowthorn, not daring to say what she thought. It would make Berryfoot's death all too real.

Magpienose wished she could just crawl back into her nest and go back to sleep, then wake up from this dream. It was a sickening feeling, that tomorrow Berryfoot would be buried. He was an elder, but his time wasn't up.

It might have been the berries that killed him, she thought. But they didn't get into the blackbird on their own.
Magpienose knew in her heart that someone had killed her clanmate.«

[A Voice Among Many]

The apprentice's ears dropped when she heard Newtmask. She stopped her actions and swiftly turned her attention to the medicine cat and warrior. "Y-your wrong. Both of you!" She denied the fact that the elder was gone. "If it was deathberries, then he would be dead. But he's not! He can't be." She was shaking more now.

Squirrelstar shot out of her den when she heard several shrieks from the clearing. "What's wrong?!" The bushy she-cat called, the fur along her spine bristling when she noticed several of her clanmates gathered around something. The dark red and black mottled she-cat padded over to join her clanmates, her bushy tail lashing.

She blinked in confusion, leaning down to nudge Berryfoot's flank. "How did Berryfoot die?" She questioned, looking at Magpienose, Snowthorn and Acornpaw. Squirrelstar's green gaze settled on the bird laying next to Berryfoot. She narrowed her eyes, reaching a paw out to prod at the bird, jerking away when a deathberry fell out of the bird.
