(well the image is more of a supplement than a replacement. You should definitely still provide a general description for your cat, as well as anything the image might not show clearly- eye color, certain markings, scars, and the like- but it certainly does remove the need for a long, detailed description. You can keep it simple, a sentence or two.)

Pineclaw thought for a minute before responding, "How about just close by just between here and the Horseplace?" As he waited for Rainpuddle to either agree or disagree the russet tom went ahead and started to pad towards the camp entrance. He also didn't wanna miss the announcements so he thought about only making like two or three kills. That would be enough for him and one or two other cats. His mind then started to wonder about who would be chosen as deputy and he though about asking Rainpuddle what he though about who the new deputy should be. Rainpuddle nodded, moving alongside Pineclaw as he made for the exit. "Sure, that should work. We'll need to be careful, though. We were on patrol there earlier and the dogs are pretty active today," the gray and white tom warned. "But no one's hunted around there for a while, so there might be some good luck," he added, pausing as they reached the log bridge to jump up onto the trunk and quickly trot across. "So, what do you think about Goldenstar? Who do you think she'll choose for deputy?" he asked after a moment, once Pineclaw had climbed over as well. He knew he might be stirring up some heated opinions with this conversation, but he liked to hear what his Clanmates had to say. And besides, this was going to be important.

Name: Swampeyes Gender: Male Age: 46 moons Virtues: courage and strength Ancestry: WindClan and ShadowClan Relationships: Appearance: Swampeyes fur is such a dark brown it could be mistaken as black. His are a dullish yellow color and toward the iris they have flecks of blue and green Personality:Quiet, he's more of a shadow then a cat you could say. He doesn't speak much unless he has to, but even then he keeps it short. Swampeyes is very bad at expressing his feelings for other cats. He even has difficulty expressing his love for his own kin. But, he tries his best and stands up for what is right History: Pic:
Name: Minnowstep Gender: female Age: 32 moons Virtues: determination and loyalty Ancestry: RiverClan and ShadowClan Relationships: Speckledew ( mother, Riverclan, deceased ) Greytail ( father, ShadowClan, deceased ) Appearance: Minnowstep is a solid light grey she-cat with depths of darker grey within her coat. She has mossy green eyes a dark grey nose. Personality: Minnowstep is a very understanding and sweet cat. She will sit an listen to everyone side of the story before making a set choice. But her choice making is very rough because she has a slight case of anxiety when it comes to big decisions, but once her mind his made she becomes very stubborn. Her anxiety only kicks up when she is having to make a hard and on the spot decision. The grey she-cat does not like to be challenged and will quickly put up a defense and assert her dominance. History: Pic:

Pineclaw was silent for a moment but his ears definitely perked up at Rainpuddles words. "I was actually just about to ask you the same thing. But for me.. personally.. I mean Goldenstar is a great cat and she definitely has some leader qualities. But she never went through a deputy-ship so I feel as if she is lacking experience when it comes to her role as clan leader." The russet tom then crossed over the fallen log that led off the island (camp is on the island right?) before continuing. "I feel as if there is a lot of unspoken tension in the clan sometimes and I'm just not she Goldenstar is the one to help unify the clan. Who do you think she will pick for deputy?", He asked curiously after speaking his mind.

||OOC|| Okay thank you. ||BIC|| Haze woke startled from her dream her short tabby fur slightly standing up showing her unease. The grey tabby shecat had taken a small nap and in her dream she saw her sister again. This time she was calling out to her but Haze was unable to hear her meows. Shaking her small triangular head she cleared her thoughts and rose to her paws. They were sore from having been walking for so long, but that didn't stop them from moving. Tentatively she started to walk again, her goal a twoleg structure in the distance. Maybe she could get an easy catch there and a warm place to sleep by Nightfall. Pineclaw had just finished adding some more feathers to his nest. He had eaten a pigeon earlier and saved the soft feathers for his nest. Leaving the warriors den the russet tom looked around for something to do. Spotting Rainpuddle, Pineclaw headed straight towards him. "Hey would you like to go hunting with me?", The tom asked not wanting to go alone and thought it would be nice to have the company of a friend. Here's my starter post for Haze

Minnowstep slowly made her way across the marshy landscape of RiverClan's old territory. The light grey she-cats ears stayed pricked for any noise and her jaws slightly parted in hopes of catching the scent of prey. Nosing her way out of the reeds and into the more wooded area of the territory she caught the scent of mouse. Keeping her paw steps light, she followed the scent trail carefully.
Carefully leaping over a small fallen tree, she stopped in her tracks as a new scent reached her nose. It was a strange cat, no one that was familiar to her. Her fur bristled slightly at the thought of an intruder in her Clans territory. Parting her jaws she drank in the scent, it was a younger she-cat and from where her scent was taking Minnowstep, it looked as though this cat has a sense of where its destination was.
Taking action she followed the intruders trail in hopes of chasing them out of the territory.

Haze continued forwards her paws now muddy from the marshy area. The tabby shecat flattened her ears in annoyance about the prospect of having to lick them clean later on. Finally teaching a higher spot out of the muck the grey tabby started to flick the chunks of mud from her paws. Deciding to take a small break she sat down and looked about her. There it was! In the distance Haze could see the lake! And it looked exactly like the lake in her dream because there was also a small island in it as well. She quickly made up her mind to head straight for the lake. As she rose to her paws with a renewed determination she started to head in the direction of the lake. Not two paw steps forwards did she catch the scent of another cat causing her to halt. What should she do?... Wait to confront the cat? Or keep on moving and hurry out of the territory? However Haze was taking too long to decide and about six fox lengths away she saw a solid grey cat following her scent. There was no point in running now she had been noticed, so gathering her courage the small tabby gave her pelt a free licks so she didn't look like a wreck and turned to face the cat. "Peaceful greetings", Haze called out making it apparent that she wasn't hostile.

Looking up to see a small tabby she-cat with very muddy paws. Her fur stayed slightly bristled as she trotted toward the intruder in hopes that she looked more threatening then she actually was. Hearing the tone in the younger she-cats voice, she made a very small agreement with herself that the new cat wasn't as big as threat as she had thought. Standing a few tail lengthens from the younger cat she mewed," You're on TempestClan territory." Eyeing the other she-cat , Minnowstep notice she was slighter thinner then the younger cat should be. "Possibly just a loner.," she thought.

Haze dipped her head respectfully to the unknown cat when she said that the territory was claimed. "Forgive my intrusion, I had no idea this territory was claimed. I'm not from around here.... I've traveled a lot ways looking for the water in my dreams and it's that lake right there..." The tabby shecat caught herself rambling and stopped she didn't want the stranger to think of her as some crazy cat with crazy dreams.

Who do you think she will pick for deputy?", He asked curiously after speaking his mind. Rainpuddle nodded. He disagreed somewhat, but he understood where Pineclaw was coming from. "I think if any case would be able to unify the Clan, it would be Goldenstar," Rainpuddle replied as he headed in the general direction of the horseplace. "I don't know who she'll choose, though." He paused for a moment, thinking. "There's not many cats left in the Clan who have the experience that Goldenstar will need, since she became leader so young. But I would say maybe Nightcreek. Tigerfang would also be a good option, though a lot of cats would probably be upset if he became deputy since they're mates." He twitched his whiskers, glancing towards Pineclaw. "Maybe she'll pick you. You've got a lot of experience as a warrior."

This she-cat dreamed of the lake? Questions arose in Minnowstep's head as she looked the she-cat over once again. "You dreamed of the lake?" she questioned the other cat. The wind shifted carrying the smell of a far off patrol. " I think it might be best if you come with me. Its not safe out here on your own and Goldenstar will want to hear of this dream you speak about." Pausing for a heartbeat , she realized this cat would have no clue who Goldenstar was, or what TempestClan might even be. "Goldenstar is leader of TempestClan," Minnowstep explained, her fur laid flat know sensing that this younger she-cat was no threat.

Pineclaw grew silent at the mention of him possibly becoming deputy. "Hmm I never entertained the thought of me being deputy...", The russet tom meowed thoughtfully. "Well if Goldenstar did choose someone, it doesn't have to be me, but someone from Shadowclan or Riverclan decent it would definitely help unify the clan and put a stop to that type of inner rivalry", he responded. The more Pineclaw thought of it the more he liked the idea of becoming deputy, and he did respect Goldenstar enough to follow her leadership for he was a loyal cat to the clan.
Haze was slightly confused that the shecat was so interested in her dream and wanted her to meet this so called leader of her group... Or clan as they put it. Not wanting to be in any danger and inwardly hoping for a free meal Haze nodded, "Okay I will come with you." The small framed skinny tabby was curious as to what kind of group this stranger was from. And the name of their leader... Goldenstar.. seemed to be very powerful.

Rainpuddle nodded again, flicking his tail slightly as he thought. "Yeah, you're right. A lot of cats would be frustrated if she chose another ThunderClan descent. Oh, one moment." He paused, quickly dropping into the hunting crouch and trotting a foxlength or so away. He paused, tail-tip twitching, before he dived into a clump of reeds and emerged a heartbeat later with a water vole clamped between his fangs, which he dropped at Pineclaw's paws and flicked some dew off of his whiskers. "Seems like the prey is running here after all."

Giving a quick nod, the light grey she-cat mewed," My name is Minnowstep by the way. I forgot to introduce myself." Inwardly she felt an uneasy feeling in her stomach. Was this a reasonable decision to bring this unknown cat back to camp? The tabby was small and younger, but you should never underestimate the unknown. But the only thing that gave the she-cat a sense of security that she wouldn't fully get in trouble was the dream the other cat had.

When Rainpuddle put a pause on their conversation Pineclaw remembered that they were out here to catch some pray not dream of becoming deputy. Quickly he assessed his surroundings and found a sparrow perched on the top of some reeds. He swiftly stalked the bird and leapt knocking it off the reeds and onto the ground where he killed it with a swift bite to it's neck. Picking it up he headed back towards where Rainpuddle was. "Well I pray Starclan guides Goldenstar in her decision to pick me", the russet tom meowed laughing at his own joke to help lighten the conversation.

"Oh I'm Haze", the grey tabby meowed keeping pace with Minnowstep as she led the way. As she followed the young cat looked ahead of them and found the grey cat to be leading her straight towards the island or she at least assumed that that's where they were going.

Rainpuddle let out a trilling mrrrow of amusement at Pineclaw's words. "Hmph, I'm almost tempted to say the same," he replied as he picked up his vole again, trotting over to a dry patch of earth where he quickly buried it under a thin layer of dirt and leaf litter, so he could come to collect it later. He flicked his tail for Pineclaw to accompany him as he moved on his way, father towards the horseplace.
(hmmm it seems like things are about to go down a little bit, so want to skip ahead slightly to the end of the patrol?)

(yeah that sounds good to me)
Pineclaw shot a playfully aggressive glance to his clanmate as he mentioned also going for the open deputy position. Going back to the hunt it wasn't long until they had caught plenty to take back to the camp. Pineclaw had managed to catch two mice in addition to his sparrow. Looking over at his friends pile of prey the russet tom spoke, "You think this should be enough?", He asked curiously.

Rainpuddle's luck had been roughly the same as his Clanmate's, having managed to snag himself a mouse as well as a young rabbit. "I think this should be plenty for the night, especially if anyone else has been hunting," he meowed, carefully picking up all of his prey and heading back in the direction of the camp. As they came closer, Rainpuddle could smell the scents of their Clanmate Minnowstep... as well as an unfamiliar cat-scent. The gray and white tom motioned to Pineclaw to be careful, narrowing his eyes in suspicion as he headed carefully in that direction.

{ Falconwing quick little skip so they can reach the camp faster } *Skip* Taking a look back to see Haze still behind her, she padded up to the fallen tree that lead the way across the camp. "Be careful when crossing, it can be really slipper in places," she warned an she leaped onto the fallen tree. Looking down the water was clear to a point then sunk into a deep blue. Trying to hide her anxiousness , she slide her claws out gripping to the slipper tree bark.

Haze flicked her tail in acknowledgement of the instructions to watch her step. Tentatively the small grey tabby clawed her way on top of the fallen tree and followed Minnowstep onto the island. Once across she left down and sniffed the air. To her surprise more scents than she could count came to her nose and she started to second guess her decision to follow the stranger. If this went south there would be no way for her to escape. 'Ancestors give my paws guidance', she prayed to herself.
Pineclaw had caught the strangers scent the same time Rainpuddle did and he moved closer to the grey and white tom so they could protect each other's flank just in case of an attack. He was happy that they were already on their way back to the camp because Minnowstep and the strangers scent seemed to be headed straight for the island.

Rainpuddle paused as he saw movement up ahead, crouching in the shadow of a twisted bush to hide himself as the movement materialized into Minnowstep... and behind her, a small gray tabby that Rainpuddle didn't recognize. It seemed that the young warrior was leading the stranger back towards the camp. Rainpuddle cast a glance at Pineclaw, before dropping his prey in a pile at the base of the bush and stepping out of the shade.
"Hey! Who's that?" he meowed, his tone stern but not accusatory as he trotted cautiously towards the two she-cats, eyeing the stranger warily.

Minnowstep stopped in her tracks as Rainpuddle called out to her. Turning her head, she could see the Rainpuddle and Pineclaw now, prey in mouth. Looking to Haze and then back to the older tom she mewed evenly," I found her wandering the territory. I was going to chase her off, but she spoke about having a dream of the lake." Anxiety prickled at her like pine needles. "I thought Goldenstar should know."
