"I've been looking everywhere for other cats. I can smell a big group in the woods nearby and there are scent markers." She wasn't sure if these were clan cats or not. "My name is Moleshade by the way. Formerly of Ridgeclan." She was an older cat. Maybe a few moons from retirement to the elders den. You could tell that despite her small size and age that she was a fierce warrior

"My name is Badgertooth and this is my brother Ratwhisper. We used to be apart apart of Mothclan, you said something about a group of cats?" He asked wondering if they were friendly or not.

"Its a pleasure to meet you two. And yes. I think just over there starts the border of a clan's territory. And I smelled a bunch of cats in this clearing over here earlier. I bet if we looked there could be two clans worth of cats in these woods." She sat down and started to lick her pawpads that were sore and cracked from all the walking ahe had done. She had treated them with chewed marigold when she could find it to keep infection out.

Apple with Crescent Apple nodded. "I'll catch 2 more pieces then." He said before trotting off. He slowed and scented the air. Picking up the scent of a rabbit and a shrew he turned to go after the shrew knowing it would be easier to carry. He stalked around trying to get downwind of the creature and he sighed as he found a good spot. She pounced and felt it go limp in his jaws. Crescent with Apple Crescent stalked towards a mouse. The tom carefully putting his paws on the ground not wanting to risk stepping on a stick or anything else that could alert the prey. He leapt forward and pounced on it biting the mouse's neck quickly. He buried it and moved on, catching the scent of a squirrel. He carefully followed the scent crouching close to the ground as he got closer to the squirrel that was biting on a acorn. He paused waiting for the right moment. |

Apple trotted to where he had buried the vole and buried his shrew next to it. He plodded along until he scented a robin. He ran toward it from behind and latched his claws into its wing. It cawed and made a fuss sending feathers flying before Apple managed to snap its neck. He then started back toward where he had last seen Crescent.

Brightpaw (with Snow, Elmstar and Silverrose)Brightpaw quickly glanced around and then nodded. "There are plenty of warriors you can learn from," he said. "But aside from that, we could also use your help when we'll work on the camp. You are the ones who found it so I guess it already is your home. There isn't too much to do but I think building it into an even better camp could help everyone feel more like a clan." He gave a slight embarrassed purr. "Maybe that's just me though. But I really felt more welcome when I helped Basilwhisker and Silverpaw expand their clan's apprentices den, even as a guest. So I thought it could work for you guys too, especially since it already is your home." He then nodded eagerly when Snow told him the names she had in mind for her kits. "Yeah, that's how it works! They all sound like they could be good clannames." He thought for a moment. "So, either Hawkkit or Whitekit for the fourth one, huh? Either way, I'm sure Silverrose will come up with great warrior names for them! It's one of the most exciting parts of being an apprentice."
He wanted to go on, thinking up some possible warrior names for Snow's future kits, but before he could say more he heard Silverrose saying his name. Brightpaw glanced over at the she-cat who was talking to Elmstar and then back at Snow. "Oh. Looks like we're ready to go get the others," he said. At least that's what he assumed their conversation to be about. "Sorry, gotta go now," he excused himself and dipped his head to Snow. Then he turned to Silverrose and Elmstar, ready to bound over to them. "Coming!" He called, eager to see what the two wanted and, if they really were heading back, to get the others to finally start working on this camp to make it their new home.

"I like those names. Especially Whitekit." Snow said. She smiled and laughed then laid down suddenly. "I feel dizzy all of the sudden. But go Silverrose and Elmstar need you."
(Setting up that she needs to see a med cat so they can be like dude you're pregnant and gonna have kits within the moon.)
Silverrose smiled at Brightpaw when she saw that he realized she had said hos name. She nodded to Elmstar. Then stood so the two toms would know she was ready.

Elmstar stood when Silverrose stood and he nodded to Brightpaw before heading to the camp entrance. He turned and yowled "goodbye everyone enjoy your new camp." Before leaving the exit. He lead the way towards his camp. As he passed the clearing they had met Apple and Cenra in he paused. "We could use this as a place to meet every moon. A few warriors and apprentices and our medicine cats and deputies. Its on the edge of Thymeclan territory and you could set your border on the other side so its no one's territory." He suggested looking at the decent size stump in the middle. He caught scent of fresh cat scent but waited to see if Brightpaw would catch it.
(Setting up for them to find Moleshade, Badgertooth and Ratwhisper.)

Brightpaw hesitated for a moment but nodded and ran over to Elmstar and Silverrose. Once he had reached them he dipped his head and followed them. As they walked he glanced at Elmstar and as they reached the clearing he nodded. Meeting here every moon sure sounded interesting. Still, before they went back to Thymeclan territory he needed to ask something. "So, uh... Snow, the she-cat I was talking to, said she's feeling dizzy," he meowed. "Could you ask your medicine cat to have a look at her? If your clan can spare her for a moment, that is," he added quickly. As he spoke he caught the scent of some unknown cat and briefly glanced about. "Someone's nearby," he whispered, more to himself than to the two cats with him. He moved to stand beside Elmstar and Silverrose but for now wouldn't do more than that, it was better if they decided how they wanted to approach this.

Silverrose nodded when Brightpaw asked about getting a medicine cat for Snow. "Thanks for informing us. We definitely need to find a medicine cat for our clan soon. Or Icewhisper is going to be run ragged." She paused and looked at Brightpaw when he said someone was nearby. She looked to Elmstar because the new cats were probably on Thymeclan territory.

Elmstar listened to Brightpaw's request and nodded. "Yes I can send her with you when you leave camp. As long as she can stay the night in your camp. I don't want her to travel that far by herself in the dark." He cocked his head to the side when Brightpaw said someone was there. Je made eye contact with Silverrose and made his way over to the border of his clan's territory. "Hello? Who's there? You're in Thymeclan Territory. This is Elmstar leader of Thymeclan." (Just gotta wait for Hawkeyes258 to get back. I'm gonna let them reply with their toms before Moleshade does anything.) Feather bounced up to Cenra and smiled. "Do you want to help me collect some moss for Silverrose and the others? I did get some earlier but I think we will need more than two bundles." She purred and danced around excited by the idea of being in a clan. Pineclaw ) |

"Do you know if the clan is friendly?" Badgertooth asked relaxing a little bit. "My brother and I have been looking for a place to calm home."
Ratwhisper slowly nodded his head hoping his brother didn't give to much information. He didn't quite trust her and they still needed to find something related to roses. That what his dreams seemed to be about anyway. Both of them jump a little when a new voice spoke up. "We mean you no harm! Just two brothers looking for a home." Badgertooth mewed moving a little closer to Ratwhisper. "I can handle myself." Ratwhisper mewed a little annoyed that his brother was being so protective of him.

Moleshade shook her head and then jumped at the strong voice. She turned to where the red-gold looking tom stood. She looked him up and down wondering what type of leader he was. She sat back down and let the others talk.
Elmstar nodded. He waited for Brightpaw or Silverrose to chime in that they were starting a new clan and needed members. "Hmm. That's interesting. What were your ranks in your old clan if you were part of a clan?" He asked hoping one of the toms was a medicine cat. He knew Icewhisper had enough going on without having to tend to two clans. He saw Moleshade sit down and could tell she was going to let the other talk. Maybe Brightpaw would speak up and ask who she was.

Ratehisper takes this moment to speak up before his brother. "I was their medicine cat while my brother was a warrior." He hoped there would be a place for him. Badgertooth nodded his head. "He's really good by the way."

Crescent with Apple
Crescent returned to where Apple and he had separated after catching his three pieces of prey. Seeing the other yom he gave a small nod, setting the prey down. "Nice work," he said. Hopefully what they caught would be enough to feed the cats in the camp.

Silverrose with Elmstar, Brightpaw, Ratwhisper, Badgertooth, and Moleshade.
Silverrrose stepped forward to stand by Elmstar. "I am Silverrose former deputy of Phoenixclan and new leader of Roseclan, a clan that is now forming. This is Brightpaw of Ridgeclan." She glanced at the cats and realized Moleshade hadn't spoken up. "And who are you?"
Apple with Crescent.
Apple nodded his thanks for the praise. "Looks like you did pretty well yourself. I guess we head back to camp now." He started to arrange the prey so he could carry it and then took the lead back to the others
Brindlepaw- Open
Brindlepaw walked into camp with a bundle of sticks and started to shape a large hut with the sticks. He built a form with bigger sticks and the started digging a pool where they decided the medicine cat den would be for the mud. He figured that it would be nice to have a pool to soak moss in for sick and injured cats. He went downstream of the camp and rinsed the mud from his paws and sat waiting for the thick clay like mud to dry and hold the new den tightly together. He leaned down and took a drink of the fresh water and sighed.

Elmstar almost gasped when Ratwhisper said he was a medicine cat. He nodded but wondered why Silverrose didn't immediately respond to the tom about needing a medicine cat. "I don't believe we have room for you in Thymeclan at this time but maybe Roseclan could use your expertise. We have our own medicine cat, Icewhisper, and a young tomkit who is about to begin his apprenticeship as a medicine cat. " he phrased it in a way that Silverrose would have the final decision and did not give away that the new clan had yet to have a medicine cat.
Moleshade looked up as Silverrose made her address and smiled at the younger she-cat. She then caught scent of a familiar scent and perked up as Silverrose said that there was a cat of Ridgeclan. "I am Moleshade of Ridgeclan. I know Brightpaw. And I would like to join Roseclan if that is alright. I can still hunt and fight but I am getting old and don't have many moons left of survival on my own. But I will give you the ones I have." She grinned at Brightpaw

Brightpaw stood back a little but meowed a polite greeting. At Ratwhisper's words he grinned a little and looked at Silverrose, hoping that she would approve of Ratwhisper being Roseclan's medicine cat. All the while he kept shooting glances at the other cat. Could she really be his old clanmate? Before he could ask her Moleshade had already introduced herself. With a purr he finally stepped forward and gently butted the older cat with his head. Then he glanced back at Silverrose. Surely she would allow her to join their clan? Moleshade was getting old but like she said, she had still a lot to offer, either as an old warrior or as an elder. "She can stay, right?!" he meowed at Silverrose, eyes gleaming with excitement.
Cenra nodded with a grin as Feather invited her to collect moss with her. "Sure! Gotta start working for our clan, right?" she meowed. It still felt a little odd, joining an actual clan, especially after watching Thymeclan for so long and silently questioning their ways. But so far it didn't seem like a bad thing and the cats that would make up Roseclan seemed like a reliable and friendly bunch.

Moleshade purred and headbutted Brightpaw back. "How are you? Has anyone else made it this far?" She was hopeful but pessimistic about the chances of many from their clan making it to this exact forest. It had been chaos.
(I don't remember what you said happened to Ridgeclan, Pine. Maybe Dark can make a spot for all the back stories to the clans and list who came from where.)
Feather nodded. "Have you thought about your warrior name or are you going to ask Silverrose to choose one for you?" She asked heading out of the camp. She trotted towards the mossy hollow she had found the moss before.

Silverrose smiled at the three newcomers. She laughed in excitement as the two clanmates became reunited. "All three of them are welcome in Roseclan. We need a medicine cat actually." She was happy that she had found what she had been looking for. It was as though starclan was guiding her paws. "We are on the way to gather my brother and his family and any other cats coming to Roseclan from the Thymeclan camp. Then we will be going to the camp we found today for Roseclan."
Wrenwillow and Melonburr stood with their prey in their mouths waiting for Storm and the apprentices to be ready.

Windpaw waited for the others. He could tell his sister was impatient to get back to camp for some reason. "Is everything okay?" He asked Rainpaw. He looked at the two former Phoenixclan cats and saw they were ready to go. He went and picked up his own prey and waited for his sister to answer. Featherstar |

Brightpaw briefly looked down when Moleshade asked about the others. "I don't think so," he said quietly. "On my way here I haven't encountered any of them. Only one of the loners that used to hang around near our territory." He glanced up at her again. "You haven't met anyone either, huh?," he sighed with a slight smile. "And I guess I've been doing well. I had some company after all. You know, that loner I mentioned," he added hesitantly. He knew that Ridgeclan has always been a bit wary of loners and rogues and not everyone would have been welcoming to Storm or any of the other loners who had lived near their territory though some cats were more open to the idea.
(Their home got taken over by twolegs. Either to make some hiking trails or to build some vacation houses. Most of the clan just scattered but some cats probably got captured or killed. I think once the twolegs brought too many of their 'monsters' it became too dangerous to live there. Maybe what spurred everyone into running away from there was an entire patrol accidentally getting killed by one of those things.)
Cenra narrowed her eyes in thought as she followed Feather. "I haven't really thought of it yet," she admitted. She wondered if she would be allowed to keep her name but at the same time she began to like the thought of having a name that matched everyone else's in the clan. "Maybe something with 'Ember' or 'Flame'. It's probably easier for you, Snow and Apple. Your names don't need much changing. I think I'll just leave it to Silverrose. She's lived in a clan before so she probably has a good sense for this sort of thing." As she spoke she padded over to a patch of moss that looked comfortable enough for even the pickiest cat. "What about you? Anything that you think goes well with your current name? Or do you want Silverrose to change it entirely?"
Storm quickly padded over to where he had buried his prey. Once he had picked it up he walked back to the others, ready to head back to Thymeclan camp.

Moleshade frowned and shook her head. "I've seen neither head nor tail of anyone in the clan until you." I'm glad you had a travel companion though cause you're young to be traveling on your own." She sat back down to let the others continue their conversation. She looked at Silverrose then "thank you for allowing me to join your clan."
Elmstar laughed and smiled heartily when Silverrose invited the cats to stay in Roseclan. He looked around at the others and then said "let's get moving. It will be dark soon enough." He led them towards camp.
Feather looked over at Cenra. "I think Ember suits you but I can unserstand leaving it up to Silverrose. I think I want to keep Feather but add something in front of it. I don't know what though." She came into the Mossy clearing and stopped at a nearby tree. She got out her claws and ran them over the moss."

Ratwhisper couldn't help but purr despite himself. "My brother and I would be honored to join Roseclan." He mentally started thinking about where to find herbs and wondered what his new den would look like. He silently thanked Starclan for giving him the signs and showing him the way.
Badgertooth and Ratwhisper begin to follow Elmstar back to Thymeclan camp. Badgertooth was so excited about joining Roseclan and starting a new life. He had no clue what would happen but he was prepared to face whatever challenges awaited him.

Brightpaw nodded at that. "I definitely wouldn't have found Elmstar's clan by myself," he said. While, like probably most young apprentices, he resented others citing his age when it came to what he was and wasn't capable of he didn't mind this time and even felt compelled to agree with her. Then he grinned at Silverrose and dipped his head, grateful that she allowed Moleshade to join Roseclan. He quickly followed the others as they went back, occasionally running ahead and then racing back to them, finding it almost impossible now to contain his excitement.
Cenra worked on some moss as she listened to Feather. "You should probably mention it to Silverrose then," she meowed. "So she knows not to add something after it." She rolled the moss into a bundle and smiled to herself. "When do you think will we get our clannames? I'm sure there will be a small gathering once Silverrose comes back with the others so that could be the right time for it. Or some time after that, once all the dens are habitable and we set up our borders?"
