The ginger she-cat glanced up at the sound of her mentor's voice and flattened her ears. As much as she wanted to set her paw down and continue hunting, she knew getting the quill deeper would be mouse-brained. Instead, Foxpaw held up her paw for Leopardhawk and grimaced. "Could you just pull this out real quick?" She asked, "The hedgehog got me before I could knock it over..."

Tortoisepaw rolled her eyes at her friend's flirting and followed after the other two she-cats. Normally, she would have enjoyed this walk but now her usually calm was broken and she was looking everywhere for that monkey that stole their herbs. The strange volume of the jungle was confusing. It seemed as if every animal in the forest was out howling. How odd. Even odder was the distinct lack of herbs on their journey home. Tortoisepaw didn't see a single stalk but maybe she had been daydreaming. "Is it just me...or do the herbs seem to be gone...?" she asked hesitantly as they passed the place they had found the tumeric. The stalk they had left to grow was now missing.

... ↪ • Jasminepaw w/ Tortoisepaw, Vanillapaw -- It actually did seem more ominous when they made their walk back through the jungle. Not in the quiet, eerie sense, but that everything seemed to be in an uproar.
"Do I have water in my ears?" Jasminepaw meowed and stopped to rattle her head and scratch her ears with her paw. "I haven't seen any of the plants we passed by earlier either..."
--
• Cloudchaser w/ Cinnamonpaw -- A few long blinks later, Cloudchaser was nodding at his apprentice. He was proud of his apprentice taking the initiative and making a decision, something the fluffy white tom and his roleplayer weren't very good at.
"Hm, yeah! Looks like they need something to do as well," he meowed when he looked around and spotted Orchidpool with Cashewpaw. He stood from his spot beside Cinnamonpaw to pad over to them gingerly.
"I was going to take Cinnamonpaw out sparring—in the shadiest spot we can find. Think I can make Cashewpaw his partner? Come along as well, we can show them some moves," Cloudchaser suggested, hoping they didn't already have plans for the day afterall.

Vanillapaw hated the cacophony of the forest where it once was static, and her fur bristled on her neck in anxiety. Everything felt different now. When Tortoisepaw pointed out the herbs missing, her ears flattened on her head. “Do you... think it was the monkeys?” she asked, though it felt like the obvious answer.
She had expected to find more herbs on the way, but there was nothing, and now even the turmeric they had left behind was gone. The whole root appeared to be pulled up, as the dirt where the herb usually grew was messy and torn up. She was too afraid to inspect it closer, and they needed to get even quicker now. “We’ll tell Crocodileblood and Mintsong as soon as we get there.”

Blue eyes shot up at a distant mention of his name. His wide gaze darted left and right when Aloeheart's unfortunate tones began to scold him. He frowned deeply at her words. However, it meant he could leave camp, and that was all that mattered. The brown apprentice jumped to his feet and ran to join the others.

"I knew you had a sense of adventure!" Porcupinepelt teased as they got back to camp. Normally, Orangeblossom was so nervous that everyone thought she would faint at the first sign of trouble. It was nice to see her curious about something. He turned to Twistedivy with a frown, thinking about the noises they heard in the marsh. "Are you going to tell Crocodileblood about the noises?" he asked in hushed tones to avoid being heard. It was a somewhat tense and quiet walk home. What was it about the apes' hoots that were so... antagonizing? Was it the fact they were far too close for comfort? The northern edge of the Blackmarsh today, but the edge closest to them could see them come tomorrow. Orangeblossom's comment stirred him back to awareness, sheerly out of surprise. "You want to go back, Orangeblossom??" Twistedivy was convinced he completely misheard her. Eyes then flicked to Crocodileblood when he heard his voice. Organizing patrols, possibly going on one himself. A curt nod was given to answer the previous tom's question, then he quickly ran to catch his brother and leader before he left, if he was.

Teaktuft nodded at the leader's beck and call, preparing herself to gather the cats for the next patrol so they could make their way out of camp and start hunting immediately. Her pale green eyes fell upon Mallowsky, who had already approached the forming patrol. Soon enough, she spotted Tamarindfur grooming his ruffled pelt in the clearing. "Falconfrost, Tamarindfur, and Sootstrike!" the brown-and-white tabby called."Come over here and join Mallowsky on a hunting patrol!"
It wasn't long before Tamarindfur dashed over and stood next to Mallowsky, who seemd rather bothered by having to join a patrol. She didn't mind the Siamese she-cat at all, but the fact she was being lazy irked the guard. "Mallowsky, if you'd like, you can lead your patrol to the Caved Ruins."
To be honest, Teaktuft was curious if the she-cat would accept her offer. If she did, she would be shocked as her demeanor spoke more than words could ever do for the small Siamese. After all, she had to pull her weight around here or there wouldn't be any fresh kill.
The tabby's ears flickered towards Tarantulapaw, Aloeheart, and Durantail, who were preparing to join their patrol. There was a good amount of cats to go around and complete duties in the camp if need be while the rest hunted and patrolled. A lot of work would soon be accomplished today. coding by officialrainleafwcf

At the sound of his name, the grey tom lifted his head curiously. The voice belong to none other than Teaktuft, a guard for the leader's bloodline. Quickly, he rose to his paws and trotted over, giving the brown tabby a serious nod. His pale gaze flicked over to Mallowsky and he made the last few steps to join her. He didn't want to interrupt the conversation, so Sootstrike merely stood there, watching it all unfold. Oblivious to Mallowsky's tired and irritable demeanor, he flicked his tail tip back and forth happily. What are we gonna do now? His eyes seemed to question as he looked around the gathering patrol.

Duriantail approached the gathering group of cats as they split into patrols. They would probably make him do something by the end of the day anyway, so he might as well get it over with. He looked at Teaktuft and muttered, “Are we hunting or patrolling?”

![](https://i.imgur.com/LVmE7hg.png) { t h y m e p u r r} with duckthorn leaving camp Though Duckthorn was bored by Thymepurr, she was not as she was actually enjoying it. Her logic was flawd, yes, but it was something she would never admit. Thymepurr was grasping for comebacks no matter if they were poor or excellent because she wanted to rile up the tom before her. The moment he told her to "go off," her face turned sour with offense. How dare he tell her to go off when she had more to achieve! Instead of responding, she fell silent. He didn't need to know she was bothered by his statement.
Blinking her heated blue eyes at the small feline, she took a few steps toward to approach him while he was making a suggestion. Why would Thymepurr bother going on a patrol with Duckthorn of all cats? It gave her an opportunity to continue a game with him and, to be completely frank, there was nothing else she wanted to do right now. "Wait for me, you wimp!" the blue point Siamese hollered, sprinting after the ginger tabby. "I'll join you; just this once, though. Don't expect me to ask you to hunt every time I want out of camp. This is temporary."

![](https://i.imgur.com/Ll9tHg4.png) { c a s h e w p a w } w/ orchidpool, cloudchaser, & cinnamonpaw Cashewpaw's icy blue eyes followed Orchidpool's intently while he waited for their daily plan. He was sure she was still thinking it through which made him a bit jittery. As long as they left camp soon, they could get everything done and retunr to camp for a small meal. He wasn't too fond of the clan's silly eating rule, but he would put it up for it in respect and loyalty.
"Sounds good to me, Orchidpool. I'm ready to go whenever you are," he responded before realizing that Cloudchaser and his apprentice, Cinnamonpaw, had approached the two. At the sound of Cloudchaser's idea of sparring, the apprentice wasn't against it. In fact, it sounded like a good idea. Maybe his plan was more fitting for today than what the white tabby she-cat had thought of. "As long as Cinnamonpaw is up for it, I don't mind being his spar partner."
There wasn't much Cashewpaw could remember of his denmate. He was sociable compared to himself and much more open. It was something he aspired to gain one day, though he felt it was unlikely. As for Cloudchaser, it seemed that he got along with the ginger-brown apprentice which was refreshing to see among mentors and apprentices. coding by officialrainleafwcf

Falconfrost pricked his ears when he heard his name. He hesitates for a moment before leaving his post. Falconfrost knew he ought to get out more. However, he never liked to leave the leader unguarded. One of the other guards can handle it. Least for now. He bounded over to Mallowsky. "Where will we be hunting?" He asked his tone rather gruff.

[ shhh, you do too deserve me <33 ] ![](https://i.imgur.com/LVmE7hg.png) { t h y m e p u r r} w/ duckthorn leaving camp Thymepurr was able to keep up with Duckthorn despite how lazy she was. She almost jumped out of her fur when the two heard Teaktuft's voice booming throughout the camp. As soon as the names for patrols were announced, she let out a sigh of relief that she or the tom besides her were included. Either the clan saw them leaving camp together or they were assumed to be already gone. Whatever one it was, she was beyond thankful.
"It's not my fault you're a slowpoke," the she-cat muttered, rolling her eyes before adding a playful comment. "Well, of course. Who said we were going on a patrol together anyways?"
The blue point Siamese slipped behind him, following the warrior up the temple steps carefully. It was oddly easy to leave camp with another cat in tow and act like they were going out to get something done when they really weren't. Hopefully they wouldn't be caught outside of the camp, doing whatever Duckthorn had planned.

... ↪ ♥♥ i'm glad you stick by us through all our hiatus' lol i seriously just teared up a little
... ↪ • Duckthorn w/ Thymepurr -- There was brief moment where he looked back at her before keeping his gaze forward. Thymepurr went from jabbing him with crude names and bad comebacks to responding with a harmless nickname? To be fair, Duckthorn also quickly dropped his bashing act, but it'd probably start up again because he never knew when to hold his tongue.
Though it was abhorridly humid right now, his short ginger fur kept it from affecting him too badly. It was obviously still gross and sticky, but longer hair had it much worse. What did phase him a little, however, was how noisy the jungle seemed to be. It was always loud but today it seemed particularly awful right now. His mood was already sour but this was just going to get really annoying.
"We'll go to the river, so you can be a pile of lazybones," Duckthorn suggested, but that was at least going to be his aim whether she wanted to follow it or not. It probably wasn't a smart idea to go to the most nearby stream, so there would be a bit more walking to go. "We can kick it there and at the off chance we get caught—we were fishing."

[ <33 i love roleplaying with you guys & i'm always around too. me toooo ] ![](https://i.imgur.com/LVmE7hg.png) { t h y m e p u r r} with duckthorn x Thymepurr was unpredictable, in the sense she preferred to "change things up" every once in a while. She was mostly preparing herself to go after Duckthorn if he tried anything sassy on her, though she wasn't feeling too at risk right now.
The humidity was taking a toll on the blue point Siamese's coat, despite it being short and glossy. She despised when the humidity rose in their territory which made hunting and patrolling exhausting and, most of all, unbearable. Her nose crinkled as she felt the sultry air settle against her fur while the animals of the jungle roared in her ears. She wasn't fond of loudness, especially from those who inhabited the jungle other than the clan cats. Grumbling to herself, she kept her gaze set in Duckthorn's direction as if she were awaiting instructions.
"We'll go to the river, so you can be a pile of lazybones," she repeated in a mocking tone. She quickly straightened her tail before meowing cheekily. "I get it, I'm not incompetent, Duckthorn. We'll just act like we're fishing until someone comes along and questions what we're doing. Here's an idea-- the fish aren't easy to catch today, okay? That's just in case they try us a bit too hard."

"Thank you, Teaktuft." the leader murmured. Crocodileblood was about to take his patrol out when he saw the rapidly approaching form of his brother. He stilled the patrol with a flick of his tail and turned back to talk to Twistedivy. "Well, did you investigate your strange noises?" he asked with an amused twitch of his whiskers. His brother was always so on edge. Everything was fine but if it made him feel better to go check, who was he to stop him?

It was a quiet, tense trip back home. The whole time, Tortoisepaw kept an eye out for herbs but it was the same. Plants ripped out by the root or basically ripped apart. How strange. It seemed like an eternity before they finally made it through the entrance of the camp. She glanced at the gathering patrols and frowned. "Maybe we should tell Mintsong first...he seems busy." she suggested under her breath.

Vanillapaw nodded. Mintsong would be able to tell Crocodileblood herself, if anything. She crept around the patrols, keeping quiet, until they made it to her den. She poked her head inside and dropped the turmeric on the ground. “Mintsong?” she asked, glancing around for her mentor.

"Ah, there you are." Mintsong mewed as she walked over to Vanillapaw. "I was wondering when you were going to return." She glances down at the herbs before looking back up at Vanillapaw. She had expected a lot more than that. "Did something while you were out?"

Vanillapaw scuffed her paw nervously, glancing over her shoulder at Tortoisepaw and Jasminepaw. “We, uh, actually gathered a lot more, and we even had some angelica. But... a monkey stole it from us while we were at the beach,” she said, her voice hardly more than a mutter.

Mintsong widened her eyes at the news. "My goodness! Are you three all right? Did the money try and attack you?" She asked ready to go grab her herbs in case She knew monkeys could be dangerous. Mintsong remembered her former mentor teaching her how to deal with monkey bites,

Vanillapaw nodded. “I am, but Tortoisepaw got scratched and Jasminepaw got knocked over,” she said, gesturing to her friends. “She says she’s fine, of course,” she added with a little smile. She was glad they were alright for the most part, as it could have been a lot worse, but the thought that she could have done something more bagged at her. “I’m sorry...”

Mintsong slowly nodded her head. "I'm just glad you all are all right." She paused for a moment for speaking again. "Next time you gather herbs, I suggest taking a warrior with you or even a guard. The jungle is a unpredictable place. Something way worse could have went after you all!"
