(Oh. You didn't mention the name of the user in the activity check and there wasn't any OOC chat about it after the check, but I'm guessing they're the cat with the loner who was brought in by twolegs. Sorry about that Billy ^^; )

Dawnripple growled and unsheathes her claws. "Might as well see who or what it is." She glanced over at Heatherpaw then looks to Rootpaw. "If things get bad be prepared to run to camp and get help." She instructed.
"We are heading towards the High Pines." Ripplestorm answered. "There we will track some prey and I'm also gonna show you how to track a cat."

(Hey another reason I haven't been active is I can't find a good place to jump in. Got an ideas for me Cinnamon? I feel that including Stormberry in on the murder plan is not a good idea since the only reason she'll ever join that side is because of Littlespring. I feel maybe Lizardpaw would be down for it, giving Stormberry another reason to go to their side.)

( Taiyou has been running a patrol basically alone with Russetclaw, you could insert yourself into their patrol and the two of you could RP a bit? The whole clan will have some drama to be involved in once Owlshadow and Blackbrook kill Stonestar)
Minnowheart willed her fur to lie flat as she followed Dawnripple forward. Her heart was beating so hard, she'd be surprised if the other cats couldn't hear it.
The patrol rounded a tree, low to the ground, and the cat came into view. It was a tomcat, bent down and eating the bluejay that had given the warning cry. Briefly, Minnowheart felt her fear replaced by anger. That cat was eating their prey on their territory! But she stayed silent, her eyes locking on Dawnripple, waiting for her to act.
"Stay here..." She whispered to Rootpaw, wanting to keep her safe.
-----
"Oh. Well... Great!" Mosspaw meowed, convincing himself to be enthusiastic. He had heard that high pines forest could be dangerous, especially for apprentices... But that was probably why Ripplestorm was taking him there! It would be the hardest place to track at, with so much heavy wet undergrowth. Mosspaw purred, glad to have such a good mentor. This was much better than any hunting patrol.

"All right? Well...not particularly, no." I admitted, not really paying too much attention for a few moments, then noticed who exactly was addressing me. "Oh, hey there, Owlshadow. Fancy running into you here." I kept my tone neutral, or at least I tried to. At this point, I had to tell someone there was a problem with me, even if the one I told would not take it well. I started to feel somewhat confident in myself, pacing over toward my deputy, a little nervous.
"No, I'm not all right. You by now noticed I'm often gone for long stretches of time, and I'm always looking exhausted. I think I'm sick or something, but this doesn't feel right at all. Maybe you're extremely good with observation and already know what I'm talking about." Then I looked aside for a moment, frowning. "Just for the record, I'm well aware whatever I tell you can be reported back to Stonestar, as much as I don't want to."
I decided to add something that I thought was really crazy, deep down. "I'm sorry if we're not exactly trusting or even friends for that matter, I regret being a little distant. I did appericate how effective you are at control."

Starring out into the camp, Stormpaw tried to think through the searing pain in his head*. He would go see Blackbrook but... No. That cat gave him the creeps. The way his eyes lit up when a cat was hurting... it made him shiver. He was worried about something more than the creepy sadistic Medicine Cat though. When would Lynxsoul be back? He had wanted to go on one of the patrols to find him but he hadn't been chosen. Which was why he was waiting here. If Stonestar organised another patrol, he would ask if he could join. Sitting up from his crouched position at the entrance to the Apprentice den, he tried to look around camp. But instead he ended up bumping his head on the top. Hissing in pain, he crouched back down and glared at the roof. Maybe he should go see Blackbrook. He was the Medicine Cat, and this pain was getting worse and worse. He shouldn't let some Kit fear interfere with his wellbeing. He should at least go to the den. Chances aren't he wouldn't be there. If he wasn't he wouldn't have to worry about talking to the scary cat anyway. Crawling out until he was well clear of the den (not wanting a repeat of what just happened) he stood up and began walking toward the Medicine Cat den. It's not like Blackbrook would hurt him...
Right?
(*FYI, the pain in his head is because earlier in the morning Stormpaw followed a mouse out of camp and long story short, it ended quickly and painfully for him, as he hadn't been taught any techniques so the mouse bolted immediately and he slammed into a tree when he tried to follow it. Seeing as how we've gone back to the morning I thought I should give him a bit of a headache as slamming your head into a tree would probably do that to you)

Owlshadow felt triumph swell into his chest like a sickly rise of slime. Lynxsoul trusted him. That was delightful. He was tempted to look over at Blackbrook, like they were sharing a private joke, but he refrained.
"Lynxsoul... You shouldn't be afraid. You aren't in trouble for being sick" he meowed, as encouragingly as possible. In fact, Owlshadow was a little irked that the warrior was just now coming forward if he'd known about this for a while, but he tried to put that aside. He'd assumed Lynxsoul had just been courting some rogue outside canp- it wouldn't be the first time a cat had done that. In fact, Lynxsoul had been disappearing because of this strange illness. Did Blackbrook know prior to this confession?
Either way, he was glad for the subject change. "Why don't we all head to camp then? Ivypaw have something we need to discuss with Stonestar, anyway..." He meowed, finally looking over to Blackbrook. "Surely you will have some time to come and look at Lynxsoul before we speak to Stonestar, yes?"
He knew Blackbrook well. His friend was probably edging in his fur, wanting to take advantage of this moment of honest weakness. Lynxsoul had expressed desires for power before... This might be the perfect segue for the medicine cat to move in.

Giving it some thought, how did I feel about opening up to Owlshadow? It was odd--normally the last thing I'd do is tell anyone about myself, given I preferred to keep my privacy. Not exactly a thing I was too surprised about. I should know my deputy better than to think he wouldn't notice. Shaking my head a moment later, it was time to speak up. "Can I say something before we go back to camp? I'll be honest about first. Owl, thank you for not being mad about what's been going on with me. I can't imagine how Stonestar would take the news, but...can we keep this between us for now? The last thing that's needed is panic in the clan."
Why was I saying any of this? It was a little silly. Maybe I just wanted to let Owlshadow know I was someone that trusted him. There was one more thing that occurred to me, so naturally, I asked. "Hey, Owl? Whenever you become the leader someday over Cloudclan, just know I'll at least support you no matter what. These are times we can't afford to be alone." I tried to at least sound sincere about it, even if I had no idea why. Did I really see him metaphorically as Owlstar for a moment? What was I doing? Maybe wishful thinking, ah well. "Not that I have any idea when that is, don't get me wrong. I just thought I'd share some confidence for my deputy."
Then I glanced over toward Blackbrook. "Huh? Blackbrook? Sorry I didn't see you there--do you got a second to examine what's wrong with me? I don't mean to be a pain, just figured since you were here it wouldn't hurt to ask."

(So sorry Taiyu for not responding with Speckleclaw ~_~;;; )
Speckleclaw watches Russetclaw break off and go hunt, did this technically break the four cat rule? He figures not, how would any hunting be done if they were all clumped together and making noise. He looks to the cats joining them and after a moment follows after Russetclaw- he'd break away once the scent was strongest and hunt elsewhere, as to not disturb the other warrior.
~~~~
Rootpaw puffs up in alarm- danger on their first outing?! What happened if they went after the apprentices specifically? They didn't have any fighting skills yet, and they definitely didn't have the same stamina as a grown cat. While Heatherpaw was puffing up- stupidly ready to fight- Rootpaw hovers behind Minnowheart, ready to do as the warriors instructed
~~~
There was no way Lynxsoul had just been passing through, is what Blackbrook thought, but he doubted the other cat had heard anything too detailed. They had confronted them after all, and not fled to warn the clan. And now the cat was practically pouring their heart out to Owlshadow. It was certainly unexpected, but the cats trust and faith in Owlshadow was exciting.
This cat had no obvious allegiance to Stonestar, they were wary of whatever illness this was being reported to their leader... and with the way the camp was going now, if Stonestar knew about it Lynxsoul would probably be kept in camp until it was solved.
Admittedly he is displeased at being so easily over looked, and having a cat so openly favor Owlshadow over him was also irking- the warrior deserved it, but didn't Blackbrook deserve such adoration?
"No harm no foul Lynxsoul, I was sitting here quietly" he chirrups and stands with a stretch, "I'll take a look at you, I will definitely have the time before speaking to stone star, and I'm quite curious."
The cat was giving him a perfect opportunity to probe and prod, to see if Lynxsoul might be persuaded to join Owlshadow and Blackbrook. Not to mention this sudden illness was intriguing all by itself, "You'll have to tell me all about it back in my den, alright Lynxsoul? For now... let us all head back."
(Stormpaw has the right to fear Blackbrook lol, and ahh... definitely have to wait for Cinnamon to get back to you on the timeline)

Dawnripple growled when she saw the tom eating the blue jay. She glanced over at her companion. "So what do you want to do? I was thinking we ambush him and pin him down that way we can get answers out of him." She explained flicking her tail back and forth.
"Think you can handle it? We won't be going to far into the forest." Ripplestorm clarified. He wondered if Mosspaw was nervous about going into the pine forest or worried about tracking in general.

(recalling that Cinnamon mentioned before about being unsure of a deputy for Owl got me thinking. Wouldn't Lynx seek out such a position? Figured it'd be worth a shot to ask first before making plans.)

Lizardpaw heard the older cats discussing something. She felt compelled to just jump right in and ask what they were doing. But if she did that her pelt would be torn right off. So she snuck around the backside of the crowd and sat herself down. It'd be much easier to learn what they're doing from the backside. No witnesses, no suspects. She was slightly grateful of Lynxsoul barging in, as less attention would be in her direction.

Ivypaw's whiskers twitched. Well now, this was certainly an interesting event...Owlshadow seemed to be enjoying it. He eyed his mentor half amused, half curious. Still, he would see where it went.
(Is Lizardpaw also spying? Or is there a different group talking about stuff?
Also, Lilysun's attention isn't enough for Blackbrook X'D RIP Lilysun)

(tbh Blackbrook probably likes her attention a crap ton because it is unwavering and obvious, but he's power hungry and thinks he is the...cats meow. So he feels like everyone should adore him as much x'D and the deputy question is probably best answered by Cinnamon, I mean any cat can be ambitious for it, but it doesnt mean any cat in particular is going to get it.)
Heatherpaw blinks and pads forward, "...they just...ran away?" She looks back at her mentor, confused. "Should you go after them?"

(I had discussed with Novi about one of their charies taking up the role of Deputy but that was a while ago. As of right now I'm not really sure if they're still interested, so the Deputy position is up in the air. ideally I need someone who's willing to commit to being on regularly, since the deputy will likely be playing a significant role with the storyline.) (Also Yellowclaw was found dead about 5 moons ago) Minnowheart's fur stood up on end. She didn't reply to Heatherpaw's question, and the apprentice's willingness to chase after the loner made her nervous. Dawnripple would likely order the patrol to charge after the cat, and Minnowheart would certainly listen... but she didn't like it. Stop being such a coward! This could be the rogue that murdered Yellowclaw! But her feet stayed rooted to where she was, anxiously waiting for Dawnripple's command. She kicked herself mentally for about the hundredth time for being such a minnow-hearted warrior. ----- Owlshadow led the group back into camp, his tail swinging back and forth over the earth behind him. "There's no need to worry Stonestar over the health of her warriors with so much else on her plate. It's my responsibility as Deputy to take care of where warriors are stationed, so i would be the one who would need to know about your condition anyway" Owlshadow meowed as he trudged forward. As the group moved through the camp entrance, Owlshadow gave a curt nod to Blackbrook and the two of them broke off with their two charges. As the medicine cat made his way to his den, Owlshadow led Ivypaw to a secluded portion of camp, near the meeting hollow. When the two cats were out of earshot, he sat down and gazed evenly at his apprentice. "Alright, sneak. What have you heard." ----- Mosspaw shook his head "I'm not nervous, if that's what you're implying" he meowed, puffing his chest out "I'm not afraid of any part of the territory- these woods are my home. I was simply exercising my knowledge of the forest. Everyone knows High Pines is the easiest place to get lost in." He looked eagerly up at his mentor. Had he impressed him with what he knew about the territory? |

Billystorm continued running. Not knowing that the patrol wasn't chasing him, he tried to lose the patrol by running around the gorge, and leaping over it in various places. He jumped over it one last time (over where Owlshadow and Ivypaw are [That's still in the gorge, right?]), and stopped running. He settled down near the edge of the gorge, and continued eating the bluejay, not knowing that there were cats in the gorge.

(Owlshadow and the group have actually gone back to camp. The cats were at Sunningrocks, which is right near the camp, actually! I'm thinking Dawnripple will have the patrol follow him, so they'll catch up to him either way. But Lizardpaw is still there, at the rocks, so she could potentially confront him.)
