Fallenstone | She Cat | 13 Moons | Apprentice: None | Crush: Weaselstripe | Tags: Weaselstripe, Riverstripe , dappleleaf

She shook her head as the two cats spilt up from her, each going a different way from her. Something is definitely up. She realized, pondering about it while marking the border, staying away from all three cats. Dappleleaf must like Weaselstripe! And I must be getting in the middle of it. She perked her ears up in realization. She knew that was it. She did not want to get in the middle of anything, so she was surely going to be less friendly around Weaselstripe, maybe to prove do Dappleleaf that she didn't like him? She questioned, pausing what she was doing for a second. She practically grew up with Weaselstripe, but could she be… catching feelings for him? "Nah, thats not it." She mumbled outloud, not fully knowing if those words were true.

[Cradily]

(Happy late V-day everyone!)

OakClan

"I am right," Splashpaw insisted. She didn't know what kind of creature had done such a thing, but she was sure it wasn't a Clan cat, if a cat at all. Surely one of their own kind couldn't do so much damage. Seeing that Robinwind had returned with Ivypaw and the patrol started moving again, she beckoned Jackdawpaw with her tail. "Come on, let's keep moving."

"There may be be some catmint up ahead," Tigerblaze suggested. After all, they weren't finished patrolling yet, so there was still time to collect more herbs if need be. "Let's continue." He padded ahead of Elmshade without so much as a glance or word to her, instead silently re-asserting himself as the leader of the patrol.

Sunflare looked a bit puzzled, but did as he was told and padded closer to Blizzardclaw. "Yes?"

Riverstripe suppressed a sigh as he watched Weaselstripe and Dappleleaf go in opposite ways, while Fallenstone seemed to be stuck in the middle, looking slightly distracted. "Are you okay?" he asked her.

EagleClan

Nightwish couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the medicine cat in spite of her own anxiety at what he'd told her. It must be scary to receive omens like that from StarClan, she thought. And on top of that, it wasn't as if he could share these things openly with any cat besides the leader and perhaps the OakClan medicine cat; she knew he wasn't even supposed to tell her. It was surely a heavy burden to carry. "I'm sure we'll be fine," she tried to reassure him. "StarClan wouldn't have told you if there was nothing we could do about it. They wanted to warn you ahead of time, so that must mean there's some way we can prepare, something we can do..." She just didn't know what.

Southstar waved at the smaller patrol with his tail. His eyes flitted briefly between Deertail and Foxcloud, who he was sure had just been a bit closer with the tom beforehand, but had now stepped away. He nodded at what Stagpaw said and added, "It smells like there's only one, so it shouldn't be a problem. We'll follow the scent and see where it leads us. Thank you for telling us." He dipped his head to the two warriors before turning to Stagpaw. "Stagpaw, how would you like to track down this kittypet for us? If it's alright with Streamspot, of course." He nodded at the deputy. He knew Stagpaw's assessment hadn't officially started yet, but he figured this would be a good opportunity to help assess her skills nonetheless.

Littleflower began to pad after him, but then wondered if perhaps he'd rather hunt alone. Not wanting to bother him, she veered off and went her own way.

(Here's a repost for Cloverpaw~)

Darkpaw flicked his tail back and forth. "I already know how to hunt," he meowed, impatience evident in his voice. "Can we go already?" Just as he'd finished speaking, Littleflower, Frostbriar, and Cloverpaw came over. He twitched an ear at Cloverpaw's greeting. "Hey," he greeted her, slightly taken aback before following the patrol out.

S w i f t b a d g e r was silent as he padded along towards stream. As they arrived to stand on the shore near the stepping stones, he scented the air. The OakClan scent was becoming stale - they hadn't patrolled along the stream today. And hopefully we won't see them at all, the warrior thought, snorting dissmissively to himself. OakClan had never been a threat to EagleClan in his lifetime; though when prey was short, the Clans had a tendency to fight over the stream and the shores, despite it splitting the territories conveniently. For the last several seasons, the Clans had been especially peaceful, and the stream had remained the consistent boundary.
Swiftbadger turned to face the patrol, his tail twitching a bit. "We'll split into groups of two," he told the patrol. "We'll meet back here when we've collected all of our prey so we can help one another carry it back to camp. The apprentices cat go together. Goldenrose and Frostbriar, you can be a set, two." The tom nodded to Littleflower. "That leaves you to me."

Darkpaw nodded in response to Swiftbadger's decision to have him and Cloverpaw go on their own. He wasn't exactly close with the other apprentice, but at least Swiftbadger trusted them enough to hunt alone, as he should. He hated how condescending warriors were, going from treating apprentices like kits and hovering over them to outright paying no attention to them whatsoever. He was almost fully grown anyway. "Come on," he huffed to Cloverpaw, heading in the opposite direction of the others.

[Tainted~Wings]

Daydream
"That is true nightwish," he said. He shook his head. "All we can do is wait and figure out if an answer will come about."

⩤ Blizzardclaw ⩥ 40 moons | Tom | Deputy of Oakclan| Apprentice: Bearpaw| Crush: N/a | Tags: Bearpaw, Sunflare| Mentions:

Blizzardclaw dug his nails into the grass slightly as he watched the warrior pad over to him. “You know you’re suppose to ask the mentor of any apprentice if it’s okay for them to leave with you right?” He asked as he stared at him. “I was planning on taking Bearpaw out to training once I finished talking with Beestar about tonight.”

⩤ Weaselstripe ⩥ 13 moons | Tom | Warrior of Oakclan | Apprentice: none| Crush: Dappleleaf/Fallenstone | Tags: Riverstripe, Fallenstone, Dappleleaf| Mentions: Swiftbadger

Weaselstripe sighs as he heard Fallenstone, shaking his head once while he watched the Eagleclan warrior go back into their forest. "Riverstripe's right, we don't want that right now as we are in peace," he told Fallenstone before he watched Dappleleaf go further down stream to mark the border. The tom headed further upstream to start marking their border there, wanting to maybe be alone as well.

⩤ Mistflower ⩥ 35 moons | She-cat | Warrior of Eagleclan | Apprentice: Quiverpaw| Crush: N/a | Tags: Quiverpaw| Mentions:

Mistflower enjoyed having some time in the sun while she waited for her apprentice to come back to her. There was nothing as enjoying for her than sunbathing, she felt completely relaxed. However it came to a stop when she heard her apprentice yowl and fling herself onto her. It didn't take much effort for the warrior to roll them over, pinning her down for a short moment before she got off Quiverpaw. "Very good."

⩤ Foxcloud ⩥ 28 moons | She-cat | Warrior of Eagleclan | Apprentice: none| Crush: Southstar/Deertail | Tags: Deertail, Southstar | Mentions:

Foxcloud purred and nodded as she listened to Southstar. The queen always had always admired Southstar even before he was leader or deputy, however she never tried anything. As she had turned a warrior he was already deputy and felt like she didn’t have a chance with him. “Good luck with the rest of the patrol!” She told him before leading Deertail the opposite way for them to finish hunting.

⩤ Stagpaw ⩥ 13 moons | She-cat | Apprentice of Eagleclan | Mentor: Streamspots| Crush: N/a | Tags: Streamspots,Acornspots, Southstar | Mentions:

Stagpaw looked up at Southstar and nodded her head excitedly. She hadn’t gotten the chance to do it before and was sure it was going to be a bit fun.

⩤ Russetswirl ⩥ 75 moons | Tom | Elder of Eagleclan | Crush: N/a | Tags: Southstar, Streamspots, Acornspots | Mentions:

Russetswirl glanced at Deertail and Foxcloud, purring once as noticed how the two had been close moments before. The tom was a good pick for his niece, he was patient and a great warrior however he noticed how Foxcloud was looking at Southstar. Uh-oh, that wasn't good. For him as a former medicine cat, he would be able to see feelings of one another so much clearer as he wasn't allowed to take a mate as the code forbids it.
He blinked before he scented some of the herbs he sure Daydream needed and went over to them. He quickly had pulled them out and picked them up. Though he didn't pick up the ones earlier he knew they would have to pass by those on the way back compared to how they may circle back he wouldn't have the chance to grab them.

Elmshade - 27 moons - OakClan Warrior - tags: Tigerblaze, Jackdawpaw, Splashpaw, Ivypaw, Robinwind
Elmshade rolled her eyes as Tigerblaze pushed past her. If he wanted to lead the patrol so much, she'd let him. He was her senior, after all, and she had no need to continue to antagonize him. She slowed her pace to walk alongside Splashpaw and Jackdawpaw, keeping her ears perked as they walked along the border.

Robinwind - 27 moons - OakClan Medicine Cat - tags: Tigerblaze, Jackdawpaw, Splashpaw, Ivypaw, Elmshade
"Shanks, Tigergraze," Robinwind mumbled, his mouth full of herbs. He kept up pace behind the warrior, keeping an eye out for any signs of catmint. He wouldn't be able to scent anything with the bundle of herbs so close to his nose. He flicked his tail contently, the long fur running through the grass. He'd have to spend time picking burrs out of his fur later, but he was enjoying the sun-high warmth. It almost made it feel as though it wasn't nearing the end of leaf-fall.

(Ahh, I'll get a post up today! I have been busy, no internet and sliced my foot open, so I have been fighting infection)

[C a s]

@eventing I see Cradily has already reposted for Cloverpaw, and in that Swiftbadger assigns Goldenrose and Frostbriar to hunt together. Swiftbadger and Littleflower have already broken off and are hunting near the stream.

@albino you're fine! Irl issues are priority, just focus on feeling better. You'll be in my thoughts. <3

⇾ Beestar ✟ 41 moons ✟ Apprentice: ✟ ♀ ✟ Mate: Streamstar ✟ Condition: Declining ✟ Tags: Blizzardclaw✟ Lives: ★★★★★★★★★
B e e s t a r padded to her den. She curled up, her striped tell falling over her nose. I'll have to talk with Robinwind when he comes back, she thought, her eyes watching the camp from her den. It was fairly quiet, as most warriors were on duty. She didn't mind sleeping now, however. She'd been troubled the last few days. Her dreams carried low-swooping black birds - jackdaws, she could tell, from their wide beaks and sleek, shadowy feathers. She assumed that being so close to kitting, her mind was just feeling strange.
Beestar let her mind travel to her kits. I wonder if any of them will look like Streamstar... Shutting her eyes, she imagined squirming kits by her belly. One had the same silver tabby pelt as her mate and former leader. One of them had her same ringed tail. Purring lightly, Beestar began to drift off to sleep with the vision of her kits making her feel at ease.
Beestar purred, draping her tail over the small, precious bundles of fur beside her. The same kits she had imagined. She felt so happy, and a strong motherly love filled her heart. One kit began squirming away from the group towards the entrance of the den, and she gently pulled him back to her stomach. That's when cawing began outside the den. Her ears pricked and angled towards it. With a fierce need to protect her kids, she stood up, nudging them deeper into her nest, and padded to peer outside.
And endless stream of black birds stood in her camp. It was empty, not a warrior in sight. As she appeared, their beady, round eyes focused on her. They were eerie and black, devoid of all emotions.
Her fur stand on end as she desparetely glanced around for Blizzardclaw, or Robinwind, or just any other warrior in camp. She was alone, save her kits and the blackbirds. The began moving towards her, like a wave of darkness. Hissing, Beestar swatted at the nearest ones, but more kept coming. They snapped at her with their beaks, some catching her skin, forcing her to cry out in pain. The jackdaws backed her into the den until she was standing just in front of her nest. They began to snap at the kits, and Beestar crouched protectively over them, their backs ripping out her fur and piercing her flesh.
Another hiss sounded, and Beestar saw a flash of silver force itself into the den. Claws flashed as they ripped at the birds' feathers, driving them back out of the den. Beestar leaped to her paws and recognized the cat immediately. "Streamstar!"
He glanced back at her, his blue eyes round with worry and urgency. He opened his mouth as if to say something, looking as if his life depended on getting the words out of his mouth.
Beestar woke with a start. Her heart raced, and she was panting. Her fur was standing along her spine. She glanced around for her mate and kits, finding herself alone. It was just a dream. The thought eased her a little, and she let her fur lie down. The leader was still too unnerved to go back to sleep, so she pushed herself to her paws, finding them shaky, and slipped out into the sunlight.

D a p p l e l e a f finished marking the borders. She padded back to where the patrol had split, sitting down and gazing at the stream. The water lapped gently at the bank. "It hasn't rained in a moon," she mused out loud to herself. StarClan had graced them with good weather, but she assumed that would end when leaf-bare hit in full swing.[/i]

⇾ Jackdawpaw ☠ 7 moons ☠ Mentor: Tigerblaze ☠ ♂ ☠ Mate: N/A ☠ Condition: Healthy ☠ Tags: Ivypaw, Splashpaw, Robinwind, Tigerblaze, Elmshade
J a c k d a w p a w sighed. "I'm coming, I'm coming," he mewed, padding beside her. "I just wish we knew what happened to that cat...where did it even come from?" He flicked his tail ahead of them. "What do you think that was about?" His mentor had stalked ahead of Elmshade, essentially stating the same thing she had, but with a more firm, authoritative tone. He respected his mentor greatly. Tigerblaze, being a senior warrior and skilled tom, Jackdawpaw had considered himself lucky to be assigned to the tom, and was curious as to what Elmshade had done to upset him.

⇾ Swiftbadger ☄ 37 moons ☄ Apprentice: ☄ ♂ ☄ Mate: N/A ☄ Condition: Healthy ☄ Tags: Goldenrose, Darkpaw, Littleflower, Frostbriar, Cloverpaw
S w i f t b a d g e r glanced at Littleflower as she veered away. His ears flattened slightly. You've done it again, Swiftbadger, he thought. Why do you have to be so grumpy all the time! The tom was trying to do better about being kind to his fellow warriors. Maybe they shouldn't be so hare-brained all the time!
Lashing his tail, he bounded further into the forest. He opened his jaws, trying to find prey scent, and froze. A few fox-lengths ahead of him a rabbit was nibbling at a stalk of grass. Fatter and slower than the hares of the moor, forest rabbits were easier to catch. He dropped into a crouch, hoping he would sneak up on it. But if I can't, no big deal...they don't call me 'Swift' for nothing! He crept forward, the thrill of the hunt making his whiskers quiver. He almost hoped the rabbit would run; as he approached, his paws tingled for a chase.
Maybe it was luck, but the rabbit scented him. It froze, peering around on its hing-legs, skiddish and wary. Now or never! Bunching up his haunches, Swiftbadger sprang, giving himself a boost. He charged at the rabbit, which quickly spun away and began bouncing off. His paws pounded on the forest floor as he chased it, curving around trees and avoiding bracken. Finally, he was close enough. The tom sprang again, this time his paws catching into the rabbit's rump. He yanked it back towards himself so that he could dig his teeth into the back of its neck, bearing down hard. Once he'd finished the rabbit off he began scraping dirt over it, eager to do more hunting now.

A c o r n s p o t s kept quiet, knowing that the patrol was in capable paws. She glanced around, her jaws open, looking for a closer scent. She hoped Stagpaw would be able to find the kittypet - if she were able to drive it from the forest, perhaps this could be her ticket to becoming a warrior! She glanced at the apprentice, silently willing her to succeed. The fact that the apprentice seemed excited about the task was a good sign.

⇾Quiverpaw ◎ 10 moons ◎ Mentor: Mistflower ◎ ♂ ◎ Mate: N/A ◎ Condition: Healthy ◎ Tags: Mistflower
Q u i v e r p a w gasped with surprise as her mentor easily rolled her over. She hadn't been expecting that, and now realized she should have. Any cat could have done that to her with ease if she'd leaped on them without thinking that far ahead. She straightened back up at her mentor's praise. "Thank you!" she purred. Glancing up, the sun had already peaked, and was beginning towards its fall. "Hey, Mistflower," she mewed, "who do you think Southstar is going to send to the Gathering? Do you think we'll get to go?"

D e e r t a i l shifted awkwardly, disheartened by the fact that Foxcloud had pulled away from him so quickly when the patrol had arrived. He dipped his head to Southstar nonetheless. "Would you like us to accompany you or continue hunting?"

Outside

⇾Honey ♪ 52 moons ♪ Kittypet ♪ ♀ ♪ Mate: Rockleap ♪ Condition: Healthy ♪ Tags:
H o n e y stood cautiously at the EagleClan border, scenting the air. She hunted in the forest occasionally, but she normally did not creep this close to the border. The silver she-cat's stomach grumbled. She had slipped out of the cat-flap before her Housefolk had filled her dish, so she had yet to eat that morning. I'll just hunt real quick. She could smell it - a fat forest shrew. She trotted pleasantly into the forest, happy to be able to hunt but still remain with her Housefolk.
The EagleClan scent became strong. Honey's heart dropped. Oh no, they're nearby! She crouched, peering around, wondering if she'd be able to out-sneak the Clan cats.

I'll leave Honey where she's at so Stagpaw has a chance to impress Southstar and Streamspot, I'm rooting for her >:0

[Cradily]

OakClan

Sunflare blinked in surprise. He hadn't expected to upset the deputy. "Sorry, Blizzardclaw," he apologized awkwardly. "She just looked bored and you seemed busy. I didn't want to interrupt you, and I didn't think it would be a big deal if I just took her out for a little bit." He dipped his head apologetically before looking over his shoulder to call to Bearpaw. "Hey, Bearpaw, change of plans."

Tigerblaze walked along silently, head and tail held her and ears perked. He and Robinwind were a bit ahead of the others by now, and, in perhaps a slightly uncharacteristic moment of guilt, remembered how dejected the medicine cat had looked when he'd snapped at him earlier. Now Robinwind was padding along quietly with his mouth full of herbs. After a moment of hesitation, Tigerblaze broke the silence. "I apologize for earlier," he mewed in a low voice so that the others behind him couldn't hear, keeping his tone formal. "It was...a bit of a stressful moment," he continued, "but I appreciate your concern. I simply want my Clanmates to know that I've got everything under control and that there's nothing to be afraid of." Without being asked, he took half of the bundle Robinwind was carrying, to lighten the medicine cat's load.

Splashpaw shrugged. "Dunno," she mewed. "I heard them say something about Beestar, but I wasn't really listening. Probably just Tigerblaze acting all high and mighty, like he always is." She rolled her eyes. She was glad to have such a kind, humble she-cat like Elmshade for her mentor. Just as she'd thought it, Elmshade slowed a little to walk beside them. "Everything okay?" she asked her mentor.

Riverstripe suppressed a sigh as he watched Weaselstripe and Dappleleaf go in opposite ways, while Fallenstone seemed to be stuck in the middle, looking slightly distracted. "Are you okay?" he asked her.

EagleClan

"Thank you," Southstar purred to Foxcloud before looking at Deertail, who seemed a little dejected. "You can keep hunting," he told the warrior, deciding that perhaps the two needed some alone time. "We need prey now more than ever. Thank you for the offer though." He dipped his head to the two, then turned to his deputy, tilting his head expectantly. "Well, Streamspot? Do you think it's a good idea, for Stagpaw to track the scent?"

Nightwish nodded, glad if her words provided some comfort for the medicine cat. She wasn't sure what else to say on the matter but didn't want to entirely change the subject either, and so she asked, "Do you ever wish you had an apprentice? You know, to share these kinds of things with?" She knew Russetswirl was still always there for Daydream, but she wondered if it was the same, considering that the elder was no longer a practicing medicine cat. She thought it would be nice if there was another medicine cat, perhaps that way Daydream wouldn't feel so alone.

It wasn't long before Littleflower caught sight of something scurrying among the fallen leaves on the ground, a few tail-lengths away. Opening her jaws, she detected the faint scent of shrew, masked by the musky smell of leaves. She quickly lowered herself to the ground and stalked towards it, careful not to step on anything that might alert it of her presence. But just as she was about near enough to pounce, a bird cawed loudly from somewhere overhead, startling the shrew and causing it to flee in fear. Mouse-dung! she thought, springing after it, but it was too late. The shrew had disappeared before she'd seen where it went. Stupid bird, she grumbled inwardly, searching upwards for the creature that had ruined her catch. I'll make you my prey instead. But though she scanned the treetops, she saw no movement, only the eerily stillness of the browning leaves and pine needles amidst the increasing number of bare branches.

Oh no albino! take care of yourself! i hope you are feeling better soon <3

Robinwind - 27 moons - OakClan Medicine Cat - Tags: Tigerblaze, Elmshade, Ivypaw, Jackdawpaw, Splashpaw
"It's alright, I shouldn't have been in the way." Robinwind said, shrugging. He still wasn't entirely sure why he had stepped forward at all. He wasn't a warrior, after all. If there had been something dangerous, he would have been useless against it. He didn't even know any basic fighting moves. Jackdawpaw, who had only been training for a moon, knew more fighting moves than Robinwind did. "I appreciate you being ready to protect us." He padded alongside the warrior. "Thanks, Tigerblaze." The tom mewed as the warrior took some of the herbs from him. Robinwind was glad Tigerblaze had been assigned to come out on this patrol with him. If it had been just Elmshade and the apprentices, they probably would have gotten into all sorts of trouble. He continued on, startling a bit as a group of birds flew into a tree above them. Yes, it definitely was good thing that Tigerblaze had been there, if Robinwind was frightened by even something as harmless as a birds.

Elmshade - 27 moons - OakClan Warrior - Tags: Splashpaw, Jackdawpaw, Ivypaw, Tigerblaze, Robinwind
"Hm?" Elmshade looked at her apprentice. "Oh! Nothing's wrong." She lied. "I just wanted to, um, be at the back of the patrol, keep an eye on all of you." She grinned and nudged her apprentice playfully. "Not that you need it, you're practically a warrior." She really was proud of Splashpaw, and was happy to see that even Jackdawpaw was doing so well in his first moon of apprenticeship. Elmshade herself had been quite a handful at their age, always running off and causing a ruckus. She had gotten lucky with Splashpaw.
