The Apprentice Wars (Warriors RP) (READ RULES FIRST)

[Cradily]

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.

Morningclan

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.)

"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."

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."

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.

(Reposts for Foxkit)

Brightstep/She-cat/36 moons/MorningClan Queen/Kits: Lakekit, Featherkit, Foxkit/Crush: Open/Tags: Kits, Open
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/She-cat/5 moons/MorningClan Kit/Mohter: Brightstep/Crush: Open/Tags: Foxkit, Featherkit, Brightstep, Cedarwing, Open
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/Tom/5 moons/MorningClan Kit/Mother: Brightstep/Crush: Open/Tags: Foxkit, Lakekit, Brightstep, Cedarwing, Open
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.

Brightstep/She-cat/36 moons/MorningClan Queen/Kits: Lakekit, Featherkit, Foxkit, Thrushkit/Crush: Open/Tags: Kits, Cedarwing, Open
"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."

FLICKERPAW ♀ Nightclan apprentice, Shadowleap's apprentice, brown spotted tabby, 7 moons
Tags: Autumnshade, Shadowleap, Smokefur

XThe small apprentice blinked, glancing over to the cat standing by Smokefur. How could be this possible? Such mistakes seemed to just pile up more and more as training went on. She shook her head with an apologetic look in her eyes. "I promise this won't happen again, Shadowleap!" she then murmured to herself. "But you two look so alike.."
XHer ears perked up as the newcomer's name was said. The tabby whirled around still bearing a look of embarrasment on her face to greet the she-cat. "Good m-morning Autumnshade!" Flickerpaw mewled.

MINTFOOT ♂ Dayclan warrior, Windpaw's mentor, grey tabby, 29 moons
Tags: Foxtail, Swanstar and her kits

XOne of them left, which was given away by the rustling and the sound of Firestorm's voice. It made him realise how silly he had been. Swanstar herself said that it seemed fine, so why would he stubbornly insist on investingating? The leader's word is the truth. After all, a cat in position of power such as her wouldn't think about lying to her loyal followers. Mintfoot, ready to call the search off in the nursery, awaited Foxtail's input to do so.
XHe looked somewhat displeased, although the fact that the roofing beared no damage during the night was utmost positive. It felt to him as he was wasting Her Greatness' time with all this fooling about and was not being any of use in the whole effort of fixing the dens. Mintfoot straightened himself a bit letting out a quiet, disappointed sigh. "What about you Foxtail? Anything?"

[color=#BF8040]GALLWAVE ♀ Morningclan warrior, NN's mentor, tortoiseshell, 87 moons
Tags: Hawkstar, Nightshade, Fernpaw, Nettlepaw -> Hunting patrol

XThe tortoiseshell glanced back at Snowstorm, getting up from the ground. "Yes, let's go," she replied, slowly pacing to the clearing's exit. "We could go to the Singing Firs not too far away from here. Last time the prey was plentiful especially in that part of our territory." Gallwave then stopped after noticing a dark blur in the corner of her eye in the shape of a cat. She swirled around with her ears flattened, following to where it went. Relief washed over her once she found out it was just Oakbelly. Come to think of it, she didn't remember him being in the warrior's den when she woke up that morning. That concept made her eyes squint a bit as she resumed her previous activity. "Furthermore, the small meadow could get us good game."

[C a s]

Really, it's not working? I'm not really sure what the problem is - all of the images are showing up fine for me, and none have been removed or edited. I don't know why you can't see hers. Still, I'll change it asap, since I'm not sure how to fix the current one!
Also, Oakbelly will take Cherrypaw.

MorningClan

⇾Oakbelly 54 moons ✧ Apprentice: N/A ✧ ♂ ✧ Mate: N/A ✧ Condition: Healthy ✧ Tags: Gallwave
W h e n Oakbelly noticed Gallwave looking at her with a narrowed expression before her gaze turned back to her patrol. His ears flattened in embarrassment. With a heavy sigh, he pulled himself to his paws, padding closer to her group. "Good morning," he greeted them with a dip of his head. "Seems you've got a big patrol, but I wanted to volunteer my time anyway."

⇾Flamepaw ♥ 10 moons ♥ Mentor: ? ♥ ♀ ♥ Mate: N/A ♥ Condition: Healthy ♥ Tags: N/A
F l a m e p a w ' s face lit up, ignoring his stern tone. "You bet!" she purred, pleased with herself for being up and active, ready to patrol. "I'm still chilly from this morning. I want to get my paws moving! Send me out, won't you, Hawkstar?"

DayClan

NightClan

⇾Shadefang ✗ 14 moons ✗ Apprentice: Hawkpaw ✗ ♀ ✗ Mate: N/A ✗ Condition: Healthy ✗ Tags: Cloverstar
A s Shadefang placed her prey in the pile, she noticed Cloverstar surveying the camp. She held onto a piece and carried it towards the leader, sitting it down and dipping her head respectively. "Good morning, Cloverstar. How are you? I thought you might be hungry, and I'd just been out hunting."

⇾Blindbriar ✢ 104 moons ✢ Apprentice: N/A ✢ ♀ ✢ Mate: N/A ✢ Condition: Healthy ✢ Tags:
B l i n d b r i a r felt sunshine filtering through her den. She could feel it on her muzzle, the heat cutting through the crisp morning air, heating her long, white pelt. Blindbriar loved sunshine. She could picture it in her mind: bright, and bold. She didn't know what color it was - colors weren't exactly her forte. Nonetheless, she enjoyed the picture in her mind, that allowed her to escape from the blackness that was her vision. Even more than sunshine, she loved to sleep. More specifically, she loved to dream. It was the only way she was able to see her paws in front of her, what other cats would look like.
The medicine cat pushed herself to her paws on old, slightly shaky limbs. She was tired. "I'm getting too old for this," she muttered, padding out into the clearing, jaws open to scent if any fresh kill had been added to the pile.

Foxtail smiled at his kit before checking over his side, he noticed a gap with some stuff on the ground, it was as wide as his muzzle so he turned back to Mintfoot. "There is a pretty big hole over here." He reported. "It is pretty hard to see." He added, glancing back at the hole.

"I'm fine" he 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.

Bluefire paused for a moment, considering the idea. She wouldn't mind taking her own apprentice out, but she wasn't sure about the others. "Alright Tigerpaw. We can go out hunting, and we'll bring some sticks and materials to patch the dens on the way back" Bluefire meowed to her apprentice. "The rest of you" she continued, "should ask your mentors if it's okay to go out"

Nightshade glanced at the sky, noting the time of day. He turned back to see Flamepaw approach. He admired the young apprentice's eagerness to go out. He himself, often felt like that when he was an apprentice. Even still now the warrior felt more inclined to be out of camp and moving around.

Springfall glanced around the camp, taking a moment to observe her surroundings. She wanted to go out, hunting or maybe training with Dustpaw, but it was still a bit early yet and this was a morning she didn't want to rush.

Sweetpaw's pelt burned, regretting she even brought up the idea of going after a rabbit. She was being too curious. She had known it wasn't a great idea but sometimes her curiosity overcame her caution. "I'll still keep an eye out for it. Maybe it was nothing, but we should be careful if it is something" Sweetpaw meowed softly.

Ｗｉｎｄｐａｗ xXx
dayclan | apprentice | 10 moons | tags: hornetpaw, tigerpaw, ivypaw, bluefire

Windpaw glanced at the entrance of the camp. He wanted to go out and chase mice and rabbits until his heart was content but he would feel bad if he wasn't helping with the dens. If the other dens were cracked like the warriors den then they'd have a lot of work to do today.

[Cradily]

@Mist and Dragon: No problem, thank you for the heads-up.

Oakbelly is now Cherrypaw's mentor! Flamepaw still needs one. We'll see if Goldstorm or Snowstorm want her before I or somebody else makes her a mentor.

Morningclan

"Fine. Why don't you join Snowstorm and Gallwave's patrol?" He nodded at the two warriors not far off, then added in a murmur, "And do me a favor, won't you? Make sure they take Eveningwhisper and Daisypaw with them." He tore his gaze away from his niece to see his brother, Oakbelly, approaching. "Morning," he greeted the tom. "Yes, we've already got four cats for the border patrol, so why don't you go with Flamepaw and the others to hunt?"

Dayclan

Firestorm cast a glance back at the nursery, then replied in a hushed voice, "Mintfoot thought we should all check on the nursery to see if there were any cracks or holes, since the warriors' den was a bit drafty. It's very considerate of him, but personally I don't think it's necessary; surely Swanstar would be the first to notice if it needed to be fixed."

"Oh, come on," Tigerpaw insisted. "You're the deputy, you can send or take whichever cats you want out on patrol. You don't need to ask their mentors first. Besides, it looks like they're busy, and it's not like we'll be gone that long. Let's just go already."

Nightclan

Smokefur chuckled softly at Flickerpaw before turning his gaze to the apprentices' den. "I wonder when my own apprentice will be up..." he murmured, partially to himself, not that he was in any hurry to rush out.

Crowpaw nodded, grateful for someone to voice his concerns, however silly they may be, to. "Thanks, Sweetpaw," he mewed. Stretching his legs, he rose to his paws. "We should probably go out now, before our mentors come and get us." He knew it was still early, but it never seemed to be too early for some cat to fetch them from the apprentices' den if they weren't up by sunrise.

(Blindbriar is Dayclan correct?)

Eveningwhisper looked up at the other cats, thinking about whether she would want to go on patrol- it sounded like a good idea after all, and it would give Daisypaw the experience she needed. "We will go. I have no troubles with it." she meowed politely.

Cloverstar looked towards the she-cat, looking down at the prey for a moment before her eyes fixated on the she-cat. "Thank you." she said with a polite dip of her head, the usual way she showed gratitude. She laid down where she was to take a bite.

"Repairs seem good to me." Hornetpaw said with a small shrug, not seeming to care much about the state of her den. However she did care about going out- "Yes! Let's do that! Right now!"

(Cloverstar has nine lives and she picks Springfall as deputy)

(I forgot to say this but Swanstar has 6 lives)
