Twigclan (OPEN)

Acornspeck gave a nod to the leader's words. He looked at the cats apart of the patrol, wondering who to ask to partner up with for hunting. He looked to Iciclepelt. "Hey," he greeted with a wave of his tail. "Want to go together?" he stretched his back legs a bit as he waited for a response.

Frostfang gave a small nod. "Yea I did," he answered the older tom's question. "Do you think this rain will let up anytime soon," he asked, flicking an ear as a rain drop struck it. He hoped the rain would be gone by the evening, maybe the hunting will be in better condition than it would currently be. He looked to Icehaze. "Are you thinking of joining the evening hunting patrol or the border patrol?"

okay! ))

Dewpaw nodded, but stopped when he heard Applehollow's call. "We should probably go help clean the elder's den." he groaned as he pawed the ground. He noticed Driftpaw blush as she looked out into the clearing. He smirked as he turned and headed for the elder's den.

Stormflower purred at Mottlekit's words. "Who knew a cat could be so excited to clean out old bedding." She mewed quietly to Crowstrike as she flicked her tail in amusement.

Darksplash nodded and stalked off through the trees to hunt. He soon scented a mouse and slowly crept up on it. He accidentally stepped on a stick though, and the mouse scampered off before he had a chance to react. "Ah, mouse-dung!" He snarled quietly to himself.

Honeyfall nodded at Siltpaw's words and headed off on her own to find some Comfrey. She soon smelled it's unique scent and picked a few leaves. She then dug up the root and grabbed it all gently in her jaws. She then started to carry it towards where she last saw Siltpaw to wait for her apprentice.

Swiftbird - Border - Robintail, Darksky
Swiftbird shrugged. "You're right, but sometimes I feel like we're just waiting for something to happen." She glanced at the sky, heart leaping at a sudden idea that popped into her head. The silver tabby was unsure which way the leader had gone, but this weather was bound to be hazardous. It would be easy to get away with a murder. "I'd like to reinforce a bit more of this border, but if you two want to head back, maybe hunt on the way."

Icehaze - Camp - Frostfang
Icehaze followed his brother's gaze and shook out his fur. "I hope so. It'll scare all the prey into their dens." He flicked his tail. "I'll join whatever one I'm needed in. Though a hunting patrol would be better."

Pine - Forest - Beetle
Pine gave the tom a soft grin and turned toward the squirrel with a nod. She dropped into a crouch and took quiet steps toward it. Once she was about a tail-length from the fluffy creature, she leaped, claws unsheathed and aimed for its back. As soon as her paws met flesh, she bent down and sunk her teeth into its scruff. She picked it up once it went limp and carried it back to the pile.

Driftpaw - Apprentice's Den - Dewpaw
Driftpaw sighed irritatedly. "Oh come on," she groaned, but she stood and followed the tom anyway. The raindrops on her pelt weren't helping to erase her mood. Peeking into the elder's den, she noticed Mottlekit helping as well. Turning to the younger cat, she mewed, "Did you get in trouble?"

> Crowstrike chuckled. “Yeah, it’s good he’s that eager though. We can always use more apprentices like that.” He meowed, watching the kit run off to work with the apprentices. They could use some more kits in the clan but with the amount of apprentices there was nothing to complain about.

> Darksky nodded at the deputy. “That might be the best idea.” She waved her tail in goodbye at Swiftbird before she departed with Robintail. “And if they didn’t I’m sure you’ve scared it all away now.” The black she-cat grinned and paused her step for an heartbeat to shake out her fur from the droplets that clung to her hair.

Dewpaw nodded. He trotted over and started to collect the old, dry moss. He put it into a small pile and started collecting the moss from the other nests. After he finished and had it all in a pile he sat down to wait for Driftpaw to come back with some new moss.

Darksplash scented a squirrel and pounced on it. He decided that there wasn't going to be much more with a storm coming. He went to grab his mouse along with his squirrel, and started to head back in the direction of the patrol.

Stormflower nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. Do you want something to eat?" She asked, feeling a sudden pang of hunger in her stomach. She gave a glance to the half-empty prey pile, but turned her gaze back to Crowstrike.

Honeyfall glanced up at the darkening sky and hissed as rain droplets splashed on her face. She grabbed her herbs and trotted back to where she had seen Siltpaw last.

((AHHH))

Mottle~W/Dew and Drift.
Getting the branch back into position, Mottlekit curled his tail in a relaxed position. Flattening the moss in Crowstrike's nest, he stalked over to another moss pile and picked some up. "I'm going to see if Deadflower needs some of this." The tom said though a moss-filled mouth.


Icicle~W/ Acornspeck
Iciclepelt whipped his head around, trying to taste the air for any scent-trails, but they were all washed away in the rain. He walked a bit, ears pricked. Another shrew! Jumping into a hunting crouch, he quietly stalked the critter until he was close enough. Iciclepelt leaped, but the shrew was too fast and scurried into a hole in the ground. "Fox-dung!" The black-and-white tom hissed.


Silt~W/ Honeyfall. 
Siltpaw padded over to Honeyfall with her marigold and yarrow. "Sorry, but this was all I could find." she mewed mornfully. Sniffing, she decided, "Lets get back to camp before this all washes away."

Beetle~ W/ Pine
"Hmm," Beetle stared at the prey pile he and Pine had collected. "That should be enough. Jinx can hunt something too." Picking up about half of the prey there, he started to walk away into the downpour.

((Sorry for the late/short reply, my pet bird is ripping up my pillowcases.))

Robin
Sunstone is such a good warrior. Robintail smirked. "Of course." Stepping a few feet out of camp, she collected some branches and placed them by the warrior's den. The ginger She-cat moved some leaves away with her delicate paws and wove the branches in underneath.

Mottle~W/ Deadflower
"Here Deadflower! Here's some new moss." Mottlekit yowled while tugging it into the nursery. Setting it down, he puffed up his fur and showered the raindrops all over the entrance. "I'm tired.." Mottlekit yawned quietly to himself, settling down in his own nest.

> Sunstone gave the warriors a grateful nod and moved in to enforce the elders den, carefully weaving the twigs through the outside wall. Strong winds already started to pick up and tugged at the structures in their camp. He hoped the cats out on patrols would return to the safety of their camp soon. Falling branches and slippery stones in the forest could become real dangerous in a storm like this.

> Darksky padded through the entrance with some twigs clenched in her jaws. She placed them in the clearing for other warriors to use while she turned around to retrieve the apprentices from the forest. She’d heard they were out getting moss. Quickly she followed their faint scents through the undergrowth. “Dritpaw, Birchpaw, Creekpaw. You have to return to camp, before the storm gets worse.” She glanced around and perked her ears, hoping to catch a glimpse of Heatherstar and Swiftbird but to no avail. “Gather the last bits of moss and follow me.” She meowed as she turned back to the apprentices, gesturing with her damp wet tail for them to follow her.

Grub~W/ Twist
Grub narrowed her eyes. "We could practice different hunting strategies, if you're prepared to loose." she smirked. "I was thinking I could go out into the forest, trying to disquise my scent. then you and one more cat can try to track me." The pointed she-cat's smile faded. I'm sure those clan cats are going to attack sometime, we need to practice extra hard.

((BTW Featherstar I think you're approved))
