Stormpaw padded out of camp. It was nighttime now, and his mentor still hadn't returned. He was going out to hunt, as when he had deposited the squirrel he'd gone straight to sleep, and hadn't woken up until dusk. He was hoping to catch up with some hunting, and possibly find his missing mentor along the way. He was sniffing the ground, trying to pick up a scent. He smelt mouse. Setting off, he padded quietly toward the scent. Then, pausing, he sniffed the ground and picked up a different scent. It was Lynxsoul! He must have come this way. It was reasonably old, probably earlier that day. He started following it, beforehand thinking 'Why am I following this? Lynxsoul is fine. He probably just got tired and didn't want to walk all the way back to camp. He'll be back in the morning.' Nodding to himself, he turned away and padded a few steps. The sick feeling in the pit of his stomach didn't weaken. Trying desperately to regain his confidence in the fact that Lynxsoul would be fine he took another step. The feeling got worse. Well that settles it. Sighing to himself he turned around and followed the scent of his missing mentor, hoping silently he wouldn't find anything bad on the other end.

The only problem was I had thought I moved back toward camp successfully, and I was certain things were going the right away, but then something was seriously off. It was much later than I remembered. I stared up at the sky and frowned instantly. "What the? Moonrise? It's already that late? How long have I been out of it? I only expected to be out for a few minutes...not the entire day!" I sighed, closing my eyes for a moment to scowl. "And I thought I was at camp, but--maybe it was too dark for me to tell for sure! I don't see anyone around and this doesn't look like camp at all! I don't even know where I am! What's happening to me?" I frowned more, forcing my eyes to open. "Storm..." I called out once more, my paws trembled. "I shouldn't have left him all alone, now I'm concerned. Maybe he'll find me easily if I just stay put." I forced myself to not move an inch, growing frustrated with my declining health by the Heartbeat.

"yes Dawnripple!" Heatherpaw beams. "I'm excited to learn from you!" She puffs herself up to be tall. She was sure Dawnripple would make it a fun experience too.

Stormpaw grinned as his paws beat against the ground like a heartbeat. He was on a roll! Speeding through the dense undergrowth was hard, but once you got into a rhythm you were fine. The scent was getting fresher and fresher as he got closer and closer. Then with great confusion, he skidded to a stop. The scent branched off two ways. Sniffing each way, he tried to figure out which was newer. Following his instincts, he followed the one that branched right. He could hear something, and found himself at the edge of a clearing. He saw a cat in the middle. He was about to call out, but something stopped him. How could he be sure this cat was Lynx? He sniffed the air. He couldn't smell from here, he was upwind. He tried to make out the cat's face, but he couldn't. So He steadied himself and stepped out into the clearing and said "Lynx, is that you?"

After pacing around the camp for a bit, Novalight found a spot for himself and sat down. "Doing nothing is hard work," he thought aloud, making sure to add a note of sarcasm in case anybody was within earshot.

"Huh? Storm?" I replied back upon hearing Storm's voice, giving a small sigh of relief. I turned, pacing over toward his direction. "Finally, you're okay--that's what matters most." I tried to sound comforting, even if I felt terrified over my recent sleeping. I was going to deny something was wrong, only I was stopped with a sense of disgust. "Have I really been asleep since I last saw you this sunrise?" It was clear I was panicking by now.

(Hey Hawkeyes it seems Stormpaw is still in the forest so we're going from there.)
"We should probably go look for them. You said you saw where they went?" Stormberry was getting slightly concerned. A new mentor and apprentice alone, especially when something dangerous in the forest was still out there, wasn't a good thing.

Okay)
Littlespring nodded her head and padded out of camp. She takes a moment to scent the air and soon follows Stormpaw's scent trail. "This way"!

Stormberry followed after Littlespring. This was bad. They were heading into one of the thicker forests around the camp. The two of them surely got lost in it somewhere. What if the two of them got lost? Littlespring was an amazing warrior, but Stormberry herself felt like she could be a liability. Nervously Stormberry asked,"DO you think we should get some others to help us look?"

"Maybe though I want to keep trying." Littlespring mewed as she continued to look around. She wondered how cats could possibly get lost in their territory!

"It's fine, don't waorry about it. I don't think anyone noticed." Stormpaw mewd and started following his own scent back out into the forest. He turned around to see if Lynxsoul was following him.

"That's what I'm hoping...C'mon, Stormberry's most likely worried sick about us." I followed my apprentice without too much trouble, actually glad to see him once more.

Padding smoothly through the undergrowth he saw a small mouse scuttling around. He was so tired, but he wanted to have an excuse if someone was awake when they got back to camp. He lept on on it, killing it quickly using the things he'd picked up from watching Lynxsoul earlier, though he performed it sloppily. Oh well, he could perfect the ideas laterAnd picking it up in his jaws he stumbled back to the scent, he was so tired. He just wanted to get back to his nest and sleep for eternity.

"Maybe though I want to keep trying." Littlespring mewed as she continued to look around. She wondered how cats could possibly get lost in their territory! "Alright I suppose. Well, they should be together, so if we find one we'll at least find the other." Stormberry was having a hard time not walking ahead of Littlespring. She was practically twice the size of the younger she-cat, and thus her legs were longer. Stormberry became a bit flushed when she realized this was the longest she'd even hung out with Littlespring. She reminded herself that this wasn't time for them to chat, they needed to find Lynxsoul and Stormpaw. |

Mosspaw finished eating with Ripplestorm, noting the commotion in camp with mixed interest. He had noted that when Stonestar excepted the loner kit, Owlshadow had been somewhat resisting... was there something wrong with not being clanborn? He hadn't really thought of it before. But the warrior code did say that they should drive outsiders off their territory.. was Stormpaw being in the clan breaking that rule? Perhaps he would ask his mentor when they'd gotten out of camp away from the conflict. He stood up, licking his lips after finishing the last bite between himself and Ripplestorm. "What are we doing today?" He asked him, tilting his head quizzically. ( faundestwishes Hawkeyes258 ) Minnowheart shrugged at Rootpaw, trying to seem calm "Well.. It's not really any of our business" she meowed after a moment "I'd hate to make Lynxsoul or Stormpaw feel bad just because they missed the news. Lynxsoul seems really tired lately anyway, I hope he's not sick." Secretly, she felt a little uncomfortable. Lynxsoul had seemed the right choice for Stormpaw's mentor, just because he had always been welcoming of the paw, but would he be able to handle training him? Lynxsoul barely seemed able to take care of himself, let alone another young cat... "Let's check in with Owlshadow instead. I'd rather take you out doing something productive than chasing their tails when they're probably fine anyway" she meowed, trying to cover up the fact that she really just felt more comfortable taking orders from someone. Somehow she felt that Rootkit probably felt the same, and was comforted. Owlshadow raised his head as Minnowheart approached him. Good, at least one cat has enough sense to report to their deputy in the morning, he thought to himself. "Good morning Minnowheart, Rootpaw" he meowed brusquely. "I want you two to scout the northwestern end of camp, around the side of the Moonpoint. We haven't been out there recently and I want to know how the territory is faring now that the weather is breaking" he meowed, dipping his head "And then, you can try your paws at hunting. Our fresh kill pile is looking terribly low" Minnowheart nodded, feeling relieved. She looked around camp for Heatherpaw and Dawnripple. Perhaps they'd find scouting and hunting on that part of the territory to their liking? She spotted the two of them at the edge of camp and padded over. "Morning! Glad to see you found your mentor, Heatherpaw" she meowed warmly, and turned to Dawnripple "Feel like comign with us out to the west side of the moonpoint? Owlshadow wants us to do some scouting there. ------ ( Taiyou FifthRootNull ) Owlshadow turned to look around camp again, spotting Russetclaw and Novalight looked bored and chatting idly at one end of the hollow. He padded up to them, flicking his tail "Russetclaw, Novalight. Feel like heading a hunting patrol? The fresh kill pile is looking a little measly" he meowed, cocking his head at them. "Perhaps you could convince a couple of the other warriors to join you. I'm sure some cat will be looking for an opportunity to go find a sunny spot in the forest to warm their pelt." He scanned around camp. Some cats still seemed to be sleeping, but there was also an abundance of warriors who looked ready to head out. Perhaps Speckleclaw or Larkeye might want to make themselves useful after the spectacle they caused the previous night... Really, he just hoped he could organize these patrols as soon as possible so he could go speak to Blackbrook. He was growing impatient. |

Russetclaw pricked his ears as Owlshadow came over asking them to lead a hunting patrol. Just what he wanted to hear from the deputy. "Sure." He looked around camp seeing Speckleclaw and headed over to the older tom. "Hey a hunting patrol is being sent out, care to join? If so find another cat to join if you can." He meowed before padding off to find someone else maybe a apprentice, until he spotted Darkwind and headed over. "Wanna join the hunting patrol?"

( Hey, it looks like Novell deleted their account, which means we're going to have to do something about Lizardpaw. gigithebear, I know you two were kindof having an interesting dynamic there, so I hate to just kill off her character... does anyone have any suggestions, or would want to take over RPing Lizardpaw? Those of you who only have 1 character ( or more!) would be more than welcome to "adopt" her, if you'd like. Otherwise, the only logical course of action would be for me to stand in temporarily so that I can either kill her off or give her a reason to disappear. ) |

A hunting patrol would be a good distraction for the day. He could get his focus back on the clan and not on his panicked mate.
Speckleclaw looks over his shoulder at the den, but the she-cat wasn't even peaking her head out. With a sigh he hurries towards Russetclaw, giving Briarpaw a nod as he passes by the apprentice, "I'll join the hunting patrol." He gives Darkwind a nod as a greeting, if he joined too that would be a pretty decent sized patrol, better if they could get an apprentice in for training.
~~~
Rootpaw gives the deputy a shy greeting and scurries after her mentor when they leave. Upon seeing Heatherpaw and Dawnripple she relaxes a bit, and her littermate immediately makes her way over to her.
"If Dawnripple thinks it's a good idea I'd love to go on a patrol!" Heatherpaw gives her mentor a eager look, "Could we?"

(Not sure where anybody is at the moment, but I'm going to assume it's morning....? But here are my sucky starters ^^")
Blazestep yawned and stretched as he slipped out of the warrior's den. He'd woken up on his own this time and so was in a much better mood. He wandered off to the corner and began grooming himself, pausing as a large tom approached. Whitelion nodded, looking rather amused. "It certainly takes quite a bit to wake you up."
"Had you expected me to change?"
"Well...no." Whitelion chuckled slightly. "But at least you're awake. Do you plan to take Briarpaw out?" Blazestep's ear twitched.
"I guess. I'm never going to be rid of him if he doesn't become a warrior." The red tom returned to grooming.
"Come now, that's hardly something you should say." Whitelion's dark blue eyes narrowed slightly. "You are an excellent teacher, Blazestep." When you can be bothered to teach... "You shouldn't let the past keep you from enjoying your time with your apprentice." Blazestep paused mid lick and his eyes narrowed.
"Are you finished yet?" He inquired a bit more harshly than probably necessary. Whitelion sighed, but shrugged.
"I suppose so." With a wave of his tail, he turned and joined Jadewing. The littermates disappeared out of camp. Blazestep sighed, his whiskers twitching in annoyance.
"Not bad." Ivypaw blinked up at his teacher for the lesson. Dark yellow eyes stared down at him. "You've got the move down, now to work on your speed. But that will come later. For now, wake." He flinched. Waking on your own and being forced out of the dark forest were two very different sensations. The first was more of a numbing feeling and then slowly your mind wakes up as do your senses. Meanwhile the second felt like you were being ripped out of your skin and then are thrown back into your body, both mentally and physically. Although he supposed the dead cat had known that.
After recovering himself, Ivypaw headed out of the apprentice den, his jaws stretching wide. His body was used to training day and night, but that didn't stop him from yawning. He glanced around in search of something to do.

Novalight was a bit surprised by Owlshadow's sudden presence. "Oh, uh, sure." He watched Russetclaw move away, then turned back to Owlshadow. "I'm pretty sure Russetclaw can gather a group."

Dawnripple nodded her head. "This can be a good learning experience." She mewed not minding this at all. Dawnripple would take this time to show Heatherpaw how to hunt mice and possibly a few other creatures.

[To avoid confusion, I'll have Lynx be in the camp during the current time]
Well, another day was upon us and the mystery surrounding my sleeping episodes was still unsolved. I stepped out of the warrior den without really greeting anyone, still more exhausted than I would have liked. I sighed for a moment, shutting my eyes tightly to force myself to think about a solution. The first thing that came to mind would be to go see our medicine cat since the reality sunk in quick: the more often and longer these sleep attacks were happening, the harder it would be to pull my own weight for the clan. I was not willing to accept not taking action, plus maybe I could get a control over the sleeping habits if I knew how to best countering when they occurred. I padded throughout the camp, trying to at least plan out how my day would go to get my mind off how stressful I must be to my clanmates.

"great!" Heatherwind purred. It'd be perfect, hunting with her mentor and her own litter-mate. She had no doubts here, Rootpaw and herself were certainly going to be well trained apprentices- certainly better than...
She glances over her shoulder. Briarpaw had been stopped by Owlshadow and seemed to be heading towards the elders den with a package.
Certainly better than him and his mentor.
Rootpaw follows her gaze and gives Heatherpaw a disapproving look. No matter how much Rootpaw wanted her to be nicer ro Briarpaw, Heatherpaw was going to be better than him- and so will Rootpaw.
~~
Briarpaw had been eager to be given a task to do. Though as soon as he gets outside of the elders den he spots Blazestep grooming himself at the other side camp. Great! As long as no other warriors sent his mentor off to do something else, then the two could donsome training together, and maybe Briarpaw could motivate him to tell him how he caught those two mice the other day.
Briarpaw knew Blazestep had a lot to teach him... It was just a matter of being taught.
He turns back to the elders den and pauses.
Was Ripplepelt going to say something about last night? Say something about Larkeye? He wouldn't know what to di in response... But he slips into the den anyways, "Good morning Ripplepelt" drop it off, quick chat, go with Blazestep. There we go.

Circling his nest he settled down, his tired body gratefully sinking into the soft moss. With his early morning mouse drama (His head still ached from that. Maybe he should see the Medicine Cat tomorrow.) and night adventure he hadn't had any time to nap. His mind was quickly taken over, and he sunk into a deep sleep.

(yeah so Stormblaze and LynxSoul , I can't have you guys just wily-nily changing the time/days of your interactions, because it becomes confusing and inconsistent for the rest of the RPers in the clan. Therefore, I'm making an executive decision for the timelines of your RPs, to clean things up for people. Stormpaw will be in camp and Lynxsoul will be out in the wilderness. If you have a problem with this or want to alter it, PM me. More under the cut. Lynxsoul and Stormpaw went out of camp in the early morning for training. They were separated and Lynxsoul's narcolepsy hit him, causing him to fall asleep. Stormpaw luckily made it back to camp, but Lynxsoul is still out in the forest. We can gather a patrol to go find him, if you guys want?
I just can't see Stormpaw going out on his own and finding his lost mentor. He JUST became an apprentice- he hasn't got any formal training in tracking or defending himself. Not only would he not fare any better than his mentor in the confusing territory, but no cat who was in camp would see him come back alone and then let him go back out again. They would definitely stop him. So I think Stormpaw needs to let someone know that he's worried that his mentor didn't follow him back. I know this cuts out a portion of your RP, and I am for real sorry about that, but I can't have things be confusing for other players.) (On another note gigithebear I think it's great that you wanna RP Lizardpaw! I will add her into your roster on the front page. Feel free to pick up with them any way you want) (Therefore, our current roster is: Patrol 1: Dawnripple, Heatherpaw, Minnowheart, Rootpaw Patrol 2: Ripplestorm, Mosspaw, _______, ______ Patrol 3: Littlespring, Stormberry, Lizardpaw (+Stormpaw?) Patrol 4: Novalight, Russetclaw, Speckleclaw, Darkwind(?) (Novice? Hawk?) RPs are moving accordingly. Other cats are still in camp, Lynxsoul is the only cat outside the camp alone. ) |
