Clan character: Observant, Calm, Brave Prey: Fish, mice, voles, water voles, and shrews Hunting skills: Only Clan that desires to use the waters around, but can be skillful in the undergrowth if need be. The cats of MistClan are known to have handsome and beautiful features. They have glossy fur and are larger than most of the other Clan cats. Colors that help them blend in with the stones and undergrowth are common, so white is incredibly rare. The only unfortunate thing is that they often lose kits early on and have an average maximum of three kits per litter. Queens are forbidden from eating fish the moment they learn of their pregnancy.
Located near a small cove, MistClan resides where the waters gracefully cut through Fernwood Grove. They border primarily next to ElmClan, but a small sliver of land touches with gradually rocky terrain of TalonClan's territory. Here, a ravine borders between the two Clans. MistClan must travel through here to get to the Firefly Cavern to speak to StarClan. Meanwhile, Hazy Cascades rests between ElmClan and MistClan, so they do not have to travel through a Clan's territory. There are several important landmarks:
▪ Twilight Crest - the only cove in the forest, the Clan forbids apprentices from going here, as the cliffs are often slippery and the currents can pull a cat out to sea with one wrong pawstep ▪ Swirling Pool - fed by a larger stream, this pool is used to teach younger apprentices advanced swimming techniques as it isn't too deep for an inexperienced cat ▪ Little Runnel - a small little creek near camp where fish like minnows reside, cats come here for an easy snack or to teach kits how to swim ▪ Pricklestone Groove - A ravine that borders with TalonClan, the ravine itself provides some forest prey but leads to this landmark sometimes being fought over ▪ Foggy Hollow - the thicker part of the forest, filled with a variety of trees this area gives the Clan a different taste other than fish ▪ Flickering Rill - a creek that leads to the camp located on an island in the middle
The camp entrance for Flickering Rill is a hollowed fallen cedar crossing the creek. Cats must jump in and out of the fallen tree to travel to and from the small island. The apprentices' den is made of fern clutters stemming from a fallen branch. The warriors' den is a large thorn bush. The nursery is against the dip's wall and has the protection of bracken and ferns. The elders' den is a fallen log with a thorn bush on the right side. The medicine cat den is in the roots of a willow tree. The leader's den is the farthest from the entrance and is made of reeds. The leader addresses the Clan from the Great Willow on a large fallen branch.

"The river goes where the current flows The light we must destroy Events conspire to set afire" — The Angry River by The Hat { ❖ } Duskstar ▪ founder and first leader of MistClan ▪ a diluted tortoiseshell she-cat with amber eyes ▪ known to be maternal and just, but strict when someone was in the wrong ▪ first to lose a life, due to the sickness that plagued the Clans ▪ implemented a training system which was later made official by all Clans ▪ the system developed into the naming system the Clans have today ▪ before the official formation, she made the least favored piece of land home for many ▪ had a strong friendship with Acornstar, as they knew each other before becoming leaders of their respective Clans ▪ towards the end of her long life, tensions with TalonClan rose ▪ on her last life, the two Clans were at war ▪ died protecting the nursery from a raid by TalonClan Notable Deputies: Otter, Frogleap Notable Medicine Cats: Lily Leaders of the Clans: Ryestar of TalonClan, Acornstar of ElmClan { ❖ } Frogstar ▪ a large gray tabby tom with green eyes ▪ never forgave TalonClan for Duskstar's death and was often aggressive to them ▪ the war with TalonClan cost him two of his lives, as he lacked a strategic mind ▪ gave a sliver of land to ElmClan in return for their assistance in ending the war ▪ never lived the trade down and was criticized for it ▪ despite being a promising deputy, his rage turned him into a moody, hostile leader ▪ such behavior led to spats inside the Clan as well as across borders ▪ ElmClan also pushed borders deep into MistClan's territory, causing leafbares to be extremely harsh ▪ the pressure to defend his borders led to him appointing cats far too young and small to fight ▪ towards the end of his life, he rarely left camp ▪ his behavior led him to be remembered poorly, especially in the light of his successor Notable Deputies: Mothdapple, Willowheart, Turtlesplash Notable Medicine Cats: Lily, Creekwhisker Leaders of the Clans: Smokestar of TalonClan, Mintstar of ElmClan { ❖ } Turtlestar ▪ a small brown tabby she-cat with green eyes ▪ after Frogstar's death, Turtlestar reformed the Clan ▪ the original training system was put in place along with the code prohibiting cats under six moons to train as warriors ▪ to reclaim the lost territory, she gave ElmClan two choices: give it up or die fighting for it ▪ the code prohibiting cross-clan romances was due to her medicine cat, Applefrost, and a TalonClan warrior ▪ the war for the half-blood kits almost led to a downward spiral for the Clan until Applefrost took them and joined TalonClan ▪ Applefrost's apprentice was half-trained and pushed for a code prohibiting medicine cats to take a mate and have kits to punish his mentor ▪ because of the war and the former medicine cat's demotion, tensions remained between TalonClan and MistClan ▪ Turtlestar died from a sickness that plagued the Clans Notable Deputies: Stormclaw, Petalstep Notable Medicine Cats: Creekwhisker, Applefrost, Cranewing Leaders of the Clans: Ravenstar of TalonClan, Robinstar of ElmClan { ❖ } Petalstar ▪ a small pale ginger tabby tom with blue eyes ▪ while he was charismatic, he was severely inexperienced ▪ this was due to him not being deputy long before he became leader ▪ he lost many lives due to fighting, as his leadership made the Clan weak ▪ his deputy led a coup to force him to vacate the position ▪ the tom refused and instead was taken as a prisoner ▪ his personality changed after the coup, and he became hostile ▪ despite numerous attempts in hopes he'd give up his lives, he remained the leader in StarClan's eyes ▪ this led to the medicine cat, Cranewing, murdering the leader with deathberries so the Clan could properly rebuild Notable Deputies: Songcloud Notable Medicine Cats: Cranewing, Palefern Leaders of the Clans: Cloudstar of TalonClan, Lionstar of ElmClan { ❖ } Songstar ▪ a calico she-cat with amber eyes ▪ due to Cranewing's actions and exile, Songstar's leadership claim was constantly questioned ▪ instead of negotiating peace, which she thought never truly worked, Songstar chose to fight ▪ the coup helped her develop a tactical mind of ambush, which was an unusual technique for her Clan ▪ after one victory, TalonClan left MistClan alone for several seasons ▪ however, her experiences left her with the inability to truly trust others ▪ this led to an uneasy alliance with her former foe, TalonClan, when ElmClan's leader launched a plan to take over the Clans ▪ the outright war led to all Clans losing several cats and causing them to be small ▪ when Ashstar was finally defeated, Songstar pushed for ElmClan to be disbanded and saw an opportunity to expand her Clan's territory; she was denied Notable Deputies: Blackfish, Cleargaze Notable Medicine Cats: Palefern, pending Leaders of the Clans: Firstar, Sparrowstar of TalonClan, Ashstar, Wolfstar of ElmClan { ❖ } Journey to Firefly Cavern Around the time an apprentice will have their warrior ceremony, they are taken to the Firefly Cavern to receive dreams from StarClan. The patrol is guaranteed safe passage if they must travel through another Clan's territory. Apprentices are forbidden to speak of their dreams with anyone but the medicine cats. Sometimes, this rite will take place after their ceremony. { ❖ } Seasonal Sunlit Gathering On the day of the claw-moon after the turn of a season, the Clans gather for a day-long gathering full of activities. Each Clan will present an activity for the participants. The festivities end around sunset and the Clans go home. It is usually seen as an honor to go to this event and especially if one is asked to help plan the Clan's chosen activity. { ❖ } A Warrior's First Patrol After a warrior has completed their vigil on the night of their naming ceremony, the honored cats will lead their first patrol in the evening. Depending on the number of warriors made depends on the number of patrols. Some patrols will have a maximum of two warriors to complete this small honor fairly. { ❖ } The Shared Vigil When leaders announce new warriors at a gathering, those named will stand vigil at the Hazy Cascades. The vigil is intended to teach new warriors the value of working beyond borders in times of need. At dawn, a patrol from each Clan will arrive to retrieve their warriors. Deemed dishonorable to speak during the vigil, warriors are expected to communicate only through tail signals and motions. { ❖ } The Misty Moon Prior to their naming ceremony, kits are expected to know the basics of swimming. To accomplish this, the leader will assign a swimming mentor one moon before the naming ceremony. These mentors are often young warriors that have not had an apprentice yet. The month-long program allows the leader to gauge a warrior's mentoring capability in addition to freeing up queens for patrols. { ❖ } Retirement Upon a warrior's retirement, the Clan will share a small feast to celebrate the efforts of the retired warrior. Any kin, friends, and former apprentices are invited to share stories. The optional part of this small event is the warrior partaking in one last vigil before enjoying their time in the elders' den.

{ ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 | mod - morningwatcher, minnowsplash, brookflower, birchfrost, & featherpaw { Sand | admin - cleargaze, basscloud, cottonbloom, gullfeather, & troutpaw { Hawkeyes258 | member - waspfang, cypressheart { ᴄᴏɴɪ﹣ғᴇʀᴏᴜs | member - frogpaw { 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚜𝚝𝚢 ❄ , hiatus | member - wrenfeather { ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥ | member - crescentflame, rockwhisper, darkwillow, runningmeadow, crookedtooth, dovepaw { Pearl | member - marigoldslip, lilysnap, mintpaw, molesplash { lunapaw🐾 | member - cedarfoot { ❖ } Rise or Fall The elderly leader has witnessed the rise and fall of many leaders, some falling to her own claws. In fact, her past deeds haunt her every night and it gnaws at her mind to the point she can't even think straight. Growing more and more paranoid, she has become convinced that she will die at the claws of her warriors, too. Can her warriors assure her that they will remain loyal or is it time for Songstar's reign to end after all?
NOTE: This plot will be long and ongoing. Sand will generate events to provoke a reaction of the Clan. An ending is not set, and it will end when Sand deems it to be enough. { ❖ } Can You Feel The Love Tonight? Newleaf. The sun is out, the birds are chirping, and the bees are buzzing around the flowers. With the weather this great, it can mean only one thing: love. The only issue with love is that it doesn't always mean two cats remain within the code of only friendships across borders. Surely this is just a fling, right? Well, who knows besides them. One thing is for certain, they better not get caught.
NOTE: The outcome is totally up to the members with the two warriors. Please discuss it with each other and make sure you agree on an ending! MistClan Warrior: Rockwhisper (Frostrose) TalonClan Warrior: Mallowsnap (Feathertalon) { ❖ } Storm Clouds on the Horizon Throughout Wolfstar of ElmClan's time as leader, he and Songstar have clashed more with claws than with words. With this in mind, the two Clans have been at constant war. Blood has been shed multiple times in attempts to steal prey, land, or even prove a point. Now, it looks like more storm clouds are on the horizon. Wolfstar has been hinting at a fight. With war brewing, MistClan will need to react fast.
NOTE: MistClan will be on the defending end. First Skirmish Patrol: Cleargaze, Mintpaw, Darkwillow, Runningmeadow, Frogpaw, Cypressheart, Waspfang, Minnowsplash, Morningwatcher Second Skirmish Patrol: Open, pending. Final Battle Patrol: Open, pending.

Beside the apprentices will be specially colored stars to show that they have completed different training sessions. The yellow star (★) means they have completed their hunting training sessions. The pink star (★) means they have completed their battle training sessions. The orange star (★) means they have participated in a battle. The blue star (★) means they have visited their ancestors. The green star (★) means that the apprentice has completed their medicine training sessions. The idea of the special stars are to keep track of what the apprentice has left to accomplish before they can become a warrior. To prevent confusion, it will be listed what they are required to do left. Waspfang mentors Featherpaw (required: one battle training session, one hunting session, one battle, Moonstone visit) Minnowsplash mentors Troutpaw (required: one battle training session, one hunting session, one battle, Moonstone visit) Marigoldslip mentors Dovepaw (required: one battle training session, one hunting session, one battle, Moonstone visit) Cleargaze mentors Frogpaw (required: one battle training session, one hunting session, one battle, Moonstone visit) cat mentors Mintpaw (required: one battle training session, one hunting session, one battle, Moonstone visit) cat mentors cat (required: one battle training session, one hunting session, one battle, Moonstone visit) cat mentors cat (required: one battle training session, one hunting session, one battle, Moonstone visit) Patrols will have alternate schedules and change every three weeks. They are merely a guide for people to be able to make starters if they wish. These are not mandatory.They are not mandatory but can help a few starters go up. Patrol leaders will be in bold and will alternate. Remember to have mentors train apprentices. Thank you to [ ᴅᴀᴍᴘʀᴇᴇᴅ ] for granting me permission to use this style of patrols.

flickering rill & morning Brookflower jumped down into the camp clearing. She dragged a squirrel in her jaws, her blue eyes dull with exhaustion. After placing the piece of fresh kill on the pile, the brown tabby gave a massive yawn. She made her way slowly towards the warriors' den with her paws dragging.
The poor she-cat had been up since before dawn. She volunteered for the dawn patrol while forgetting she was supposed to hunt early with her brother. When she came back, she was placed on another patrol for hunting. Now she just wanted to sleep before someone else would catch her. She needed it, she demanded it. Luckily, she couldn't remember if she had any other patrols for the day. coding & icon image by officialrainleafwcf
flickering rill & morning Birchfrost followed his sister into camp with a pep in his step. He was carrying a plump water vole in his jaws. His blue eyes sparkled with excitement and the tom plopped his piece down onto the pile. He was about to mew a farewell to his sister, but she was already rushing to the den at a sluggish speed. "Best not to interrupt her.." he thought to himself. The tom then gave a mighty stretch, slightly wincing at the pain in his left forepaw.
He had been previously confined to the warriors' den after spraining his paw. He couldn't hunt or patrol and that bothered him more than a thorn in his pad. After all, he was hoping to see some ElmClan or TalonClan beauties on the border patrols. With how often ElmClan seemed to patrol their border, something was up. Changing his focus, the tom scanned for anyone in camp willing to venture out into their territory for more hunting and a good conversation. Perhaps a pretty little molly. coding & icon image by officialrainleafwcf

minnowsplash & morningwatcher Morningwatcher was hunting alone. He stayed silent as his amber eyes peered into the depths of the Swirling Pool. It was quiet and he was lucky no one else was here yet. The best prey was caught in the morning. A flicker of silver caught the ginger tom's attention and with lightning-quick reflexes, he reached his paw in. He felt his claws connect with the scales of a fish. Hooking under, he pulled his paw upwards and the fish broke the surface of the water and flew into the air.
It landed with a thud but before he could finish it off a flash of ginger caught his eye. His eyes narrowed as he made eye contact with amber eyes. He sighed and shook his head. "Minnowsplash, what are you doing?" he asked, upset she ruined his kill.
With a purr, the she-cat nudged her brother. "Just seeing what you are up to. I was wondering why you weren't with Featherpaw before she started training. It is her second moon after all and we know how you can be!" she teased the tabby.
Morningwatcher looked away, obviously in a spoiled mood with her teasing and just general annoying nature as his littermate. Around others, she was so calm, but near him, it was a different story. "You know, you will change when you have kits!"
Minnnowsplash laughed in response. "If I do, I won't be clingy like-" she stopped to turn towards the rustling ferns a few tail-lengths away. Instinctively both cats crouched, but the wind was already blowing their scent upwind. Minnowsplash's face was stone solid as she stared at the ever-growing louder noise. Morningwatcher's face twisted into a snarl, ready to leap at the intruder if he needed to. coding & icon image by officialrainleafwcf

Stormpaw [ Morning ; at Flickering Rill ] [ with Open ] [ @/tag ]
Stormpaw laid in his nest, wide awake thanks to the sunlight poking through the walls of the apprentices’ den. Someone’s going to have to fix that, he thought. I hope it’s not me. I want to go somewhere out of camp. Hunting, patrolling, training, anything beats staying here! Stretching out his forepaws, the white and gray tabby got up and made a run for the exit.
A couple of cats were back from hunting, that meant the fresh-kill pile was restocked. Stormpaw padded to the pile, thinking of what to pick. A carp caught the young tom’s eye. Carp! My favorite! Dragging the carp to a rock nearby, he began to munch on his meal. Stormpaw daydreamed of what he could do later today. He could go on a border patrol, a hunting patrol, or out to train with the other apprentices. Whatever option it’d be, he just hoped he wouldn’t be stuck fixing the apprentices’ den or worse, removing the elders’ ticks!

Applebloom ❀ Foggy Hollow ❀ With (Open) Applebloom crouches low in the bushes, tasting the air for prey. The warm scent of mouse bathes her tongue, and the fur along her spine prickles excitedly. Where are you...? She thinks to herself as she scans the forest, spotting the trembling leaves in a nearby bush. Got you! She starts slowly stalking toward the bush, keeping herself low and as quiet as possible. Once she is near enough, she leaps, landing squarely on the mouse. She gives it a quick killing bite, then says a silent thanks to StarClan before straightening up, her prey in her mouth.
She pads over to a nearby tree and digs up the stash of prey she had caught earlier. She'd gotten up early and decided to go hunting before patrols had been assigned for the day, but glancing up at the sun, she realized she'd stayed out longer than she meant to. I hope Cleargaze didn't want me for a patrol, she thinks anxiously to herself as she hurries her steps to return to camp.
Maplesmoke ✧ Camp ✧ With (Open) Maplesmoke stretches in her nest with a yawn, opening her eyes and glancing around the warriors' den. Bright sunlight streams in through the den entrance and she sighs. I suppose it's time to get up, she thinks to herself. She stands up and shakes out her pelt, pushing her way out of the den and into the bright sunlight. She sits down outside, giving her head a small shake to try and wake herself up.
She turns to start grooming her long pelt, flicking bits of moss out of her fur from her nest. She spends several moments grooming until her pelt is sleek and shiny. She stretches again and pads over to the fresh-kill pile, sniffing around for something appetizing. Mmmm, trout, she thinks to herself as she picks up the juicy fish and brings it to a sunny spot near the warriors' den to eat.
Snailspots ◉ Little Runnel ◉ With (Open) Snailspots crouches beside the stream, his gaze fixed intently on the running water. He licks his lips, excited for the snack he's about to have. He watches the water, then catches a quick flash of silver. He darts his paw in, cursing under his breath as he misses the minnow. "Mouse dung!" He hisses to himself, licking the water off of his paw as he resumes watching the stream. His pelt prickles with frustration. Normally he had no problem catching fish, but something felt off today. I must not have slept well, he thought, deciding that must be the reason for his clumsiness.
He notices another flash of silver in the stream. This time, he tracks it with his eyes until it is practically right under him. He darts his paw into the water yet again, this time feeling the scales of the minnow beneath his claws. "Yes!" He exclaims, pulling it from the water and giving it a quick, killing bite. He purrs happily at the taste of fresh blood in his mouth, licking his lips. "A perfect afternoon snack..."
Twistedpaw ϟ Camp ϟ With (Open) Twistedpaw crouches outside of the apprentices' den, tired and grumpy. He had been up late last night, practicing his night hunting. This morning, like the other apprentices, he had been woken by the light coming in through the hole in the den roof. Stupid hole, he thinks to himself. When is somebody gonna fix it? He rolls his eyes, knowing he'll likely end up being the one ordered to fix the hole. Maybe I should just fix it myself.
He shakes his head, grumbling under his breath, not wanting to do it right now, especially since none of the other apprentices seemed to be moving to repair the damage. He glanced up at the sky, grateful for the clear weather. At least it wasn't rain that woke me up, he thinks to himself. At least, as the oldest apprentice, he had the coziest spot in the den.

{ Berrysplash } Open Mistclan Camp
Berrysplash was in the middle of the camp licking a bothersome piece of fur down. She beamed with pride before the stubborn piece decided to flick back up in her face. She gave an irritated huff glaring at the piece of fur. It seemed to mock her best efforts to keep it down. "I hate you," she snarled at it. She then went towards the fresh kill pile. She looked what was there and noticed a fish hiding beneath the voles and shrews. The cream she-cat gave a huff, today was not going according to plan. The she-cat gave a sigh before grabbing a shrew it wasn't what she wanted but it would have to do.
She looked around the camp and noticed Maplesmoke; she hoped the other she-cat wouldn't notice her. She'd rather not have a conversation with someone at the moment. Especially with how her day was going. She continued to eat her no-so-appealing breakfast. coding & icon image by officialrainleafwcf

Maplesmoke ✧ Camp ✧ With Berrysplash Maplesmoke takes a bite out of her trout, purring as the taste washed over her tongue. She glanced up when she spotted movement and noticed Berrysplash at the fresh-kill pile. She had heard the she-cat snarling at herself but wasn't sure whether to say anything. She tilted her head to one side, curious about what had Berrysplash all upset this morning. What's her problem?
Maplesmoke shrugged and took another bite of her fish, keeping her eye on Berrysplash. She noticed that Berrysplash looked unhappy with her meal. Glancing down at her own fish, she decided to see if the she-cat would like to share a meal. She picked up the trout and padded over to Berrysplash. "You look like you're having a rough morning. And that shrew doesn't look too great. Do you want to share this trout with me?" Maplesmoke set the trout down and sat down beside the she-cat.

{ Berrysplash }
The cream she-cat jumped a bit when the tortoiseshell she-cat spoke to her. Berrysplash had to catch her breath and calm her heart that was beating out of her chest. She then looked at Maplesmoke not able to speak just yet and gave a curt nod. She looked down at her shrew in disgust and moved close to Maplesmoke and took some nibbles of the fish. While her breakfast wasn't that appetizing she wasn't going to be disrespectful to the younger warrior. "Thank you, you didn't have to share you meal with me," the older she-cat mewed. She once again gave her fur a lick out of nervous habit. Berrysplash was an awkward cat; she didn't know how to start conversations, let alone carry one out. Although her being shy sure didn't help. You have to overcome this; otherwise, you're going to be alone for the rest of your life. She thought to herself. She made a weird face as she thought of a good conversation starter. "So enjoying the weather?" she asked. After she asked this she wanted to burry her head in the dirt. Really?! The weather that's the best you can do? I'm so doomed. coding & icon image by officialrainleafwcf

Maplesmoke sat quietly with the cream she-cat and took a bite of the trout. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," she meows kindly after swallowing her bite. She pushes the fish closer to Berrysplash, watching her nibble at it. Maybe she's not a fan of trout, either? she thinks to herself, noticing the she-cat still didn't seem thrilled with what she was eating. At least it must be better than that scrawny shrew! Maplesmoke knew her Clanmate tended to be on the shy side, but with the bad morning Berrysplash appeared to be having, she thought maybe some company would help. She usually wasn't the most sensitive to her Clanmates' feelings, but even she could tell that Berrysplash seemed stressed.
She glances at the she-cat in surprise when she begins to talk. She watched Berrysplash's nervous movements, and couldn't hold back a snort. Is she really that nervous around me? I'm her Clanmate for StarClan's sake! She rolled her eyes and took another bite of the trout, purring in amusement at her companion's awkward question. Looking up at the sky, she nods. "Yes, the weather sure is nice today," she mews in an attempt to be kind.

Thistlewhisker Open | MistClan | Camp
Thistlewhisker stretched and looked around at camp, she saw Berrysplash and Maplesmoke sharing prey, reminding her how hungry she was. I should've eaten last night, she remembered thinking about it as she hadn't that day but deciding against it after she started to feel drowsy. She debated in her mind whether to go hunting or not but decided to, better to catch a couple of fish or a newt than to take from the fresh-kill. Fallingriver had always drilled 'The Clan comes first' into her head and she wasn't forgetting any time soon.

Snailspots ◉ Camp ◉ With Thistlewhisker (Tilu ) After enjoying his minnow, Snailspots returns to fishing. He has a small pile of fish beside him, mostly a few smaller ones. Keeping his eyes fixed on the water, he plunges a paw in and hooks out a juicy carp. There we go! Now I'm doing better! I just needed some food in my belly. He purrs as he pulls the carp out of the water and gives it a bite to the back of the neck, killing it. He glances at his pile and realizes that he won't be able to carry any more back to camp. I guess I should bring this back to the fresh-kill pile. The Clan's probably hungry.
He picks up the pile of fish and pads back to camp. As he pads into the camp, he notices Thistlewhisker. "Hey, Thistlewhisker," he mumbles around his mouthful of fish, the words barely recognizable because of how full his mouth is. He trots over to the fresh-kill pile and drops the fish, glancing back at the she-cat. "Do you want to share a fish?"

She saw Snailspots carrying a small pile or carp and other fish, Guess I don't need to hunt now, she sighed, relieved. "Yes please," She nodded, grateful, "I can help you carry some of that if you want." She offered.

Snailspots ◉ Camp ◉ With Thistlewhisker (Tilu ) Snailspots purrs gratefully and grabs one of the carp from the pile. "Does carp work for you?" he asks, glancing at her. He trots over to a shady spot in the clearing and drops the carp, sitting down. He leans down to take a bite of the fish, purring at the flavor. "Hunting was pretty good this morning," he comments, though he doesn't mention the initial struggle he'd had catching minnows in the Little Runnel.

Thistlewhisker
"Carp's fine with me." Thistlewhisker said padding over, better than the vole I had a few days ago- she took a bite of the carp and muttered, "Thank you, I really didn't want to go hunting." She took another bite and passed it back over to Snailspots, full from the heat and her thick fur, "Lets hope those clouds over there bring rain before I set on fire." She spoke, it wasn't too warm but she had big-curly fur and it was boiling her.

{ Berrysplash }
Berrysplash whiskers twitched as her companion answered her awkward question. "Yeah I'm not too good with interaction. I mean I'm acting like a mouse that saw her shadow thinking it was a predator." The cream she-cat gave a little laugh at the comparison she made. She was slightly warming up to the tortie she-cat.
"How's your morning coming?" she asked. Hopefully better than mine. Berrysplash thought to herself. The cream she-cat changed her position to where it was more comfortable and less awkward for her. She put her legs underneath her body resembling a little cat loaf. coding & icon image by officialrainleafwcf

Maplesmoke purred a little at her Clanmate's comparison. "I understand. I used to be shy, too," she meows, though she's not entirely sure that's true. She used to be quieter, sure, but she'd never felt particularly awkward around her Clanmates. We're Clanmates for StarClan's sake! Why should I be nervous around any of them? She knew better than to say this though. She didn't want to intentionally make the cream she-cat feel badly.
"My morning is going well," she meows instead, in response to Berrysplash's question. "I'm hoping to be able to go out hunting or on patrol, though. I get bored sitting around camp." She pauses for a moment and takes another bite of the trout, thinking while she chews. "You seemed like you weren't having the best morning. Do you, uh... Want to talk about it?" Maplesmoke wasn't particularly comfortable talking about feelings, especially with someone so awkward. But she felt bad with how uncomfortable her companion seemed.
Snailspots ◉ Camp ◉ With Thistlewhisker (Tilu ) Snailspots settled down beside the she-cat, allowing her to take a few bites before taking one himself. "I understand," he mewed while chewing. "Sometimes it's nice to have your food brought to you instead of having to go out and catch it yourself." He takes another bite of the carp, chewing thoughtfully as he listened to her talk. He can't help but purr in amusement at her comment. His fur was significantly thinner than hers, so the heat didn't get to him as much.
Playfully, he leaned over and gave her fur a sniff. "Well, I don't smell smoke, so I don't think you're going to catch on fire yet," he purred. He glanced up at the sky thoughtfully. "But I agree, hopefully we'll get some rain soon. Last thing we need this time of year is a drought."

[ I am a bad deputy for not setting up like any patrols. Looks like I’ll just go off of… whatever I can think of! I haven’t had the chance to update mentors & apprentices, but my thoughts were: Featherpaw’s mentor is Waspfang Twistedpaw’s mentor is Minnowsplash Stormpaw’s mentor is Basscloud Troutpaw’s mentor is Maplesmoke Let me know if you have a better idea for a mentor! ] Cleargaze accompanied by Open | Camp Cleargaze was embarrassingly late to assign patrols. She had been speaking with Songstar which she hoped would be brief. Instead, it felt as if she had unloaded all of her baggage on the frail leader. She had things to do. Things that were more important than discussing trivial theories.
She padded into the clearing, surprised to see so many cats up and chatting. Brookflower and Birchfrost were carrying prey, so she made the note to note to not send the two out on another hunting patrol. Many of the cats were enjoying meals together. Maybe with a full stomach, they could head out on a border patrol.
She padded into the clearing, taking in her surroundings. ”It looks like some of you have been hunting,” she commented, mostly towards Brookflower and Birchfrost. Her mew grew louder. ”Basscloud and Stormpaw, why don’t you two form a patrol for the TalonClan border? Take Featherpaw and Waspfang with you, if you can find her.”
Demands flooded the thin she-cat’s mind. ”Twistedpaw, have you seen Minnowsplash today?” she inquired, scouring the camp for the ginger feline. It appeared she wasn’t around.
Another patrol should head to the ElmClan border, she thought, wondering who she could send. She had plenty of options, although it was up to the cats to get a move on. [ pixel credit: rainleaf | tags: ʀᴀɪɴʟᴇᴀғ 🍁 , @certifiedhoodclassic , 𝔯𝔞𝔟𝔟𝔦𝔱𝔣𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱 ]

Basscloud accompanied by Stormpaw | Camp Basscloud had spent part of his morning discussing the apprentice’s den with Gullfeather, who claimed he had heard complaints from the apprentices. Of course it led to a long discussion of what to be done and the two rattled on. Realizing that he was late to find Stormpaw, he hurried away and left Gullfeather to his own devices. He would be just fine on his own. His half brother was a smart cat.
”Oh, Stormpaw! Where are—“ he meowed as if he were speaking in bird song. However, Cleargaze’s announcements cut him right off. It looks like she beat him to any ideas today. ”Finish that carp up! We need to find Featherpaw and Waspfang if we don’t want to be late,” he stated, running towards his apprentice.
He quickly took a seat and sat before Stormpaw, his tail sitting at his side. He was ready to go whenever the entire patrol would commence. [ pixel credit: rainleaf | tags: @certifiedhoodclassic ]( Gullfeather, Cottonbloom, and Troutpaw are all open as as well. I’ll get their starters up when it’s not 1am. )
