I currently am recovering from a concussion but due to my long absence, I kind of feel like I'm starting over on here. So I just want to do some fun, simple rping where we don't have to worry about a lot but trying to build connections and find a plot? I thought it could be kind of fun.

Copperflare in camp - open »»---------------------------««
The sweltering afternoon heat was almost too much to bear for even the stoutest of BayouClan warriors. Green-leaf was certainly in full swing, the prey thriving and the gators snapping away. The clan's camp, which was set in the highest and driest part of their territory, was a buzz with activity - though many warriors and apprentices were out on their daily patrols. The faint breeze that stirred the air brought the scent of blood wafting through the camp. Within moments, Copperflare was bursting through the entrance to the camp, his red pelt slick. In his jaws, dragging through the grasses, was a limp ball of gray fluff.
"Hewp!" he shouted through the scruff in his mouth, his eyes wide with absolute panic and fear, though inside his heart was pounding nice and steady. He dropped the body near the center of camp, silently gazing at his audience, wondering how far to push his preformance. "It's Puddlestar, she's... she's... help!" he called out brokenly, pressing his nose against his adopted mother's shoulder gently. Take the bait, come on... Poor Copperflare watching his mother die before his eyes. He'd made sure this was her last life too. No need for pesky StarClan to bring her back.
Alligatorsnap on border patrol - open »»---------------------------«« Unaware of the tragedy taking place back at camp, Alligatorsnap continues to lead his patrol along the border, expertly creeping through the thick sludge that made up most of their territory. The mud coated him up to his stomach fur but he didn't let it bother him, he was pretty used to it after all. "Let's round the Weeping Willow and head back," he called back to the group, flicking his tail in the direction of the distinctive tree.
He rubbed against the dark green undergrowth around him, letting the humidity press down on his coat. He was glad he didn't have a longer pelt, that would make these hot afternoons unbearable. Distractedly, the deputy wondered if he could slip away and take a swim later today, before darkness fell. A smile touched his muzzle at the thought.
Grovepaw on hunting patrol - open »»---------------------------«« Wriggling his haunches, Grovepaw had spotted his prey - a stray frog which had hopped into his path. Though the amphibian was less than apatizing to the apprentice himself, he was sure one of his other clan mates would enjoy it. Food was food after all. Lowering himself closer to the wet soil beneath his paws, the silver tabby prepared to pounce. Without much further hesitation, he leaped forward, just missing the green creature - which sent the frog scampering away. With a hiss of frustration, Grovepaw gave chase, ignoring the fact that he was leaving the patrol behind.
Spottedlily in camp - with Copperflare »»---------------------------«« Having recently returned from a hunting patrol the fluffy calico had eagerly sought to clean the thick mud from her pelt. Luckily their territory was mostly covered in the shadows of the swamp trees, but still, the heat was truly something else. The scent of blood had her fur standing on end, her green eyes flashing open. When Copperflare forced his way into camp with Puddlestar in his jaws, Spottedlily felt her heart drop. "No," she whispered, frozen stiff with disbelief.
The continued wails for help is what got her into motion. The warrior quickly turned, her gaze locked on the medicine cat den. She rushed towards the hollowed out log, pushing her head into the entrance. "It's Puddlestar, come quick," she begged, before backing away and turning back towards the clearly distraught son. Her heart ached for the poor somali. To lose his parents twice... what an awful situation.

(oh man, this seems perfect for me...! i'm already super excited.. thanks so much for making this thread, and i hope for a smooth recovery for you!) (i'm thinking of making a she-cat apprentice, and perhaps, if you want she could be a friend or sibling to Grovepaw! i think siblings would be neat ^^ i would probably have her start out as one of the cats on border patrol with alligatorsnap, it seems like a good starting point to me- despite what's going on at camp!) (i'll try to follow a format like yours! really neat looking and helpful :,D)
MallowpawMallowpaw tried to walk on her toes and stand tall, to keep the mud off of her freshly-groomed white fur. She wasn't as drenched in it as Alligatorsnap, who was ahead of her leading the border patrol. In all honesty, if Mallowpaw had a choice, she would have stayed back home. Once she heard the deputy's orders, she couldn't help but give out a relieved sigh. Her legs were aching a bit, after treading through these parts of the territory. She was going to have to get used to it. Shocking her out of her own thoughts, Mallowpaw nearly tripped over a long stick that was laying on the watery ground. She was able to save herself from losing her footing, but had kicked up mud onto herself and whimpered. What a day this was so far.

( I'm so glad you're excited! ^^ And thank you! <3 A sibling for Grovepaw sounds great, if that's what you want! c: I'll get my reply up in a few moments ~
Mallowpaw - long furred pure white she-cat with green eyes. Is this an okay description for Mallowpaw? Also, Alligatorsnap could be her mentor if you wanted? )

Alligatorsnap on border patrol - with Mallowpaw »»---------------------------«« A whimper from behind had the deputy turning his head, amber eyes locking on the white pelt of his apprentice. Mallowpaw had managed to stay mostly muck somehow, which Alligatorsnap had to admit he found rather impressive. He noticed a few clumps of mud stuck in her light coat and shook his head in faint amusement. "Mallowpaw, you shouldn't have groomed yourself this early in the day. The swamps are no place for clean pelts," he gently scolded, dropping his pace a bit to pad closer to her.
He remembered the pride he'd felt when he'd been assigned an apprentice. Mallowpaw wasn't his first, but she was Puddlestar's daughter and it felt like his leader was entrusting her with something special. A smile tugged at his maw at the memory. Their leader had always been a fair one, with a gentle heart. That's why she'd taken in Copperflare when he was just a tiny scrap of fur they'd found trembling in the mud. His pelt prickled with a hint of unease when he thought of the somali tom. Alligatorsnap had always felt a bit strange around Copperflare, like he shouldn't give the other tom his back. That was silly though.

Mallowpaw "Hmph..." The moody she-cat thought a moment before she replied. Usually, she would snap back, but she knew better than to disrespect her mentor, and no less, the deputy of BayouClan. "You're right," she replied finally, in an almost whiny tone. "Just my routine." She noticed a small smile creep onto her mentor's muzzle. She wondered what he was thinking about. Not making fun of her in his thoughts, she hoped. She shook her head promptly. Alligatorsnap wasn't like that. Then again, you never know what a cat is thinking. She looked ahead, and saw the Willow in sight, their destination. She sighed inaudibly with relief. -mallow,border patrol

( Yep, feel free, Sky! c: )Alligatorsnap on border patrol - with Mallowpaw »»---------------------------«« Alligatorsnap felt a stab of sympathy for the she-cat, as he did all long furred members of his clan - even more so for Mallowpaw with her white pelt. The mud they lived in was quite a nusience to get out of fur, even short coats could be challenging, so he could understand her distaste. Still, that was the way of life here in the bayou. Maybe he'd take her for a swim to make up for it, not that the water was very clear - but it'd help loosen some of that muck. "I understand, for future reference, it's better to groom at night. I'm sure your brother will help you, if you ask," the tom offered, trying to lighten the moody she-cat's spirit.
Spotting the Weeping Willow around the same time, the tom sped up as well, following on silent paws. He cast a silent glance back at the rest of his patrol before dipping between the low hanging branches of the tree. He wove in and out, letting his scent mingle with the humid air. "Alright, that should about do it. Want to head back?" the tom asked his apprentice, his amber gaze finding her green one.

Lilysplash - Camp The young medicine cat had already been alerted by the wails of horror and the thick, iron tang of blood that now filled the camp. The stifling haze was so heavy that she couldn't even make out the scent of the injured cat. Great StarClan, so much blood! What could have happened? She thought in dismay as she gathered a few basic supplies. She had just gotten together some cobwebs, marigold, and horsetail when she met Spottedlily at the entrance of her den. The word 'Puddlestar' caused her stomach to turn. She barged out of the den behind the calico warrior, ignoring a loose thorn that snagged into her pelt as she rushed to her leader's side. "What happened?" She gasped as she looked over the gray she-cat, jaws opened wide. The she-cat was littered with wounds, and as she pressed her nose into the gray fur, the unmistakable stench of death wafted into her nostrils. Bitter disappointment and sadness welled up inside the she-cat, causing a huge lump to rise in her throat. She had to hold back the retch as she took a step back. The Clan needed to know. She looked up at Copperflare, her gentle amber eyes meeting his own wide yellow. "I'm so sorry, Copperflare. She's gone." She whispered. She then raised her voice so the entire hollow could hear. "Puddlestar is dead." She informed them shakily. Internally, her head was reeling. Puddlestar had four lives left! Four! What kind of horrible tragedy could have killed her four times?
-
Egretcry - Hunting Patrol Egretcry was leading the patrol back to camp, and was pleased with the hunt. Both the apprentices who were accompanying him had hunted well, and he was particularly pleased with the progress of his own charge, Grovepaw. The sound of wet soil churning caused the large tom to turn his head, only to see his apprentice narrowly miss a frog, which nimbly hopped away. "Good try," he began in amusement, only for Grovepaw to pelt after the long gone prey. "Hey, come back!" He called, but the apprentice was already gone. He flicked his ears in annoyance. "You're not catching a frog like that, stupid furball!" He sighed in exasperation, before turning to the apprentice beside him. "If he's not back in a minute, go fetch him, will you, Willowpaw?"

Copperflare in camp - with Lilysplash and Spottedlily »»---------------------------««
The tom stumbled back for dramatic effect when the medicine cat finally rushed towards him, leaning over Puddlestar quickly before pulling away. He knew without a doubt what she had found. Death. Copperflare resisted the urge to grin widely. The large bites and gashes from the gator he'd lured in would hide his smaller feline marks. He'd planned this all out meticulously. His heart didn't even shudder as his eyes teared up, gazing upon the broken body of the feline who'd raised him. "No..." he whispered, grief rich in his tone, his whole body shaking with his pretend sadness. He'd always been a phenomenal actor.
"It... there was a gator... I tried..." breaking off into quiet sobs, he buried his face into the slick, cold fur of his adoptive mother. Puddlestar's body lay prone in the middle of camp, center of the stage. Perfect. A flare of pride surged in his chest. He'd done this, it was all him. A tiny smile pressed against his muzzle, but it was hidden against the light gray fur of the deceased leader. Cries of alarm and grief rose up around him, Puddlestar was a beloved leader, but too soft. Not suited for leading - in Copperflare's opinion.
Spottedlily in camp - with Copperflare and Lilysplash »»---------------------------«« Dead. The words rung in her ears. Spottedlily muffled a cry of sorrow, hanging her head low. How had this happened? An alligator had done this? The large reptiles could be extremely dangerous and when they found their prey, often refused to let go. The calico glanced around, her sad green eyes silently searching for Puddlestar's other children. She'd been very maternal and had given birth to quite a few litters. Her youngest litter had just been made apprentices for StarClan's sake! How could fate be so cruel?
Grovepaw on hunting patrol - with Ergetcry and Willowpaw »»---------------------------«« Though he'd continued chasing after Ergetcry's initial warning, Grovepaw quickly gave up, as the frog disappeared under some foliage and the tom had already gotten father than he'd realized. The apprentice turned and rushed back to the patrol, lashing his tail at the failure to catch the stupid amphibian. Settling to walk beside his sister, he ducked his head in a bit of embarrassment. "Did everyone see that?" he asked quietly, his deep blue eyes turning on his sister - a trait he shared with his mother.

Lilysplash - Camp Lilysplash's own head hung heavy with the loss of their beloved leader. An alligator. The most dangerous predator of the swamps. Lilysplash was well aware of their unpredictable strikes brutal jaws. It was the reason why she always took a warrior escort when she went to collect herbs in the deeper parts of the bayou. Yet, Puddlestar had known this all to well. Why had she ventured so close to where the giant reptiles lived? Sadly, the small she-cat shook her head. It didn't matter anymore. The sound of grief-filled caterwauls broke her from her own haze of sadness. The medicine cat turned to Spottedlily. "Go get Alligatorsnap, please. His patrol was by the border. He should be on his way back." The Clan needed it's Deputy now, more than ever.
-
Egretcry - Hunting Patrol "It's about time." Egretcry replied wryly as Grovepaw's tabby head finally poked back out through the undergrowth. He held the reproving stare for a few moments longer, before allowing a smile on his face. "Don't worry about it. Frogs are a lot faster than you when they want to be. Besides, you've gotten a good catch already." He reassured him, touching his tail tip to his shoulder. "Let's head back. I'm sure Puddlestar will be proud of how well you've done." He meowed, before turning his glance to Willowpaw. "Both of you."
-
Willowpaw - Hunting Patrol Willowpaw gave her littermate a friendly nudge as he fell into line beside her. "I'm sure even Puddlestar saw you bounding by after that frog from camp." She teased lightly before blinking at him affectionately. "Don't worry, I miss frogs all the time too. She replied with a chuckle, leaning her slender dappled head down to pick up the two mice on the ground before her neatly in her jaws. "How do you think Mallowpaw is doing?" She asked around the fresh-kill thoughtfully.

Mallowpaw
She started giggling at his suggestion to get her brother Grovepaw to help her. "Maybe he would do it for me if I was sweet enough to him!" She giggled, of course saying that jokingly. Despite Mallowpaw being a bit of a 'princess,' she understood the concept of give and take. She was a good cat at heart... just, difficult on her bad days. Mallowpaw nodded her head in response to Alligatorsnap as he was preparing to lead the patrol back to camp. She gave a glance down at her once shiny white coat, and stuck her tongue out. "What an adventure this one was..." She forced another chuckle this time. There was nothing she could do until they got back to camp! Her paws itched to race back there and take care of her appearance. -mallow,border patrol

Honeyfang - muscular ginger she-cat with amber eyes - warrior - open to family/relationships
Sootspeck - small black tom with yellow eyes, missing most of his tail - warrior - open to family/relationships
Craneflight - tall, stooped grey she-cat with blue eyes and a shredded ear - elder - open to family/relationships (maybe she could be an elder sibling of Puddlestar?)
Honeyfang - border patrol
Honeyfang walked briskly along the muddy path behind Alligatorsnap's and the apprentices' conversation. Her thick, ginger pelt already bore a splash of mud on her belly, the result of her chasing after a snake near the start of the patrol. Her legs already itched to run again, but she knew she had to pace herself if she didn't want to end up winded after the long patrol. "Maybe you could take a dip in the water over there?" she joked to Mallowpaw, oblivious of the apprentice's bad mood. "You'd get that mud off no problem - it's just a question of what you'd get on you instead."
Sootspeck - in camp
Sootspeck hovered at the edge of the crowd that was swarming around Puddlestar. As always, his brain whirled with so many thoughts that it was impossible for him to sort through them. An alligator had attacked Puddlestar - what if it came back? What if someone else got hurt? What if the whole Clan-? He shook his head in an attempt to clear it, noticing with relief that Lilysplash had reached Puddlestar and seemed to be taking control. "Is there anything I can do?" he asked her.
Craneflight - in camp
Craneflight stirred in her nest in the elders' den where she'd been taking a nap, to the sound of loud voices outside. That's odd, she thought, I didn't realise the patrols were back yet. However, her confusion quickly turned into alarm as she registered the tone of the voices. Something was wrong - very wrong. She scrambled out of the den on shaky legs, her stomach lurching as she scented blood and saw the cats gathering around Puddlestar's still form. Craneflight had seen BayouClan through its fair share of tragedies, but that didn't make living through them any easier. "What happened?" she asked, already knowing the answer. "Is she-?"

Spottedlily in camp - with Lilysplash and Alligatorsnap's patrol »»---------------------------«« Spottedlily lifted her head when the medicine cat turned her way, feeling the loss just like her clan but eager to offer any sort of help. She wanted to feel like she was being helpful. "Of course, I'll go now, Lilysplash," she replied, not bothering to try and force a smile upon her face. This was a grim day for BayouClan. Shaking herself, the calico she rushed through the entrance of camp, ignoring the mud and moisture that instantly stuck in her fur. She'd just been grooming herself but the molly could careless.
Following her nose, Spottedlily traced the steps towards their eastern border, where the Weeping Willow hung low. Her heart raced in time with her paws as she rushed across the swamps, dodging fronds and reeds as she went. Her breath seemed to saw in and out as she trekked through their territory, which now seemed so large. Her claws had slipped free in order to help find a more secure grip but the wet ground did little to help and the molly nearly slipped quite a few times.
Grovepaw on hunting patrol - with Ergetcry and Willowpaw »»---------------------------«« "Sorry," he mumbled, not quite meeting the older tom's eye. Grovepaw felt the weight of his mentor's stare, his ears filling with heat. He just wanted to prove himself, that's all. He was the runt of his litter and his mother had often babied him - which he despised. The silver tabby flinched at Ergetcry's response, glancing at his "good" catch. A single mouse. Willowpaw had even been able to catch two. Frustration had the tom flexing his claws as he bent down and lifted the limp brown mouse into his jaws, resisting the urge to sigh. Being a new apprentice, the tom was facing the dilemma of wanting to exceed in all of his training tasks without having the moons of training to actually be successful.
"Lovely," he muttered to Willowpaw at her comment about Puddlestar seeing his failure, though he felt a little lighter at her playful shoulder nudge. His thoughts wandered to his other sister, with her brilliant white coat. "Probably miserably, with all this mud," he replied with a laugh, trying to chase away the frustration he felt with the companionship of his kin. Something way better to focus on, he supposed.
Alligatorsnap on border patrol - with Mallowpaw and Spottedlily »»---------------------------«« "Maybe so," Alligatorsnap agreed, aware that his apprentice was just joking. He respected the fact that beneath her moody exterior was a good heart and the tom was eager to see what kind of warrior she grew up to be. His thoughts drifted to his mate, distractedly wondering what his own kittens would be like when they arrived. A small smile settled onto his muzzle, he didn't really care as long as they were all healthy and happy.
"To true, Mallowpaw-" he began as they turned to head back to camp, after he'd given himself a firm shake to rid himself of some of the muck stuck to his fur. Alligatorsnap was about to ask the apprentice if she wanted to take a swim in the safer waters closer to camp when he caught sight of a flash of orange and white. Pausing, his gaze widened when Spottedlily burst through the brush. He could read the sorrow in her gaze and alarm rippled along his spine, making his fur stand on end. "Spottedlily?"
"P-Puddle...star. She's...dead," the molly huffed out, clearly out of breath. Alligatorsnap couldn't comprehend what she was saying for a moment. Their leader... dead? How? There was no way... She'd had lives left! Right?
