Cedarstorm medicine cat den — accompanied by: Hollyfeather  Once Cedarstorm saw the frown on Hollyfeather's face, his nose scrunched up. How was their supply so low? In disbelief, the brown tabby let out a scoff. Did some of the apprentices pop into their den and steal herbs? If they did, he would certainly have a word with them. Although, to Cedarstorm, this seemed like an rare incident. Clearly they both needed to be checking the herb storage more often. Somehow their supplies were sparse and the only herbs they had the most of weren't enough.
"Looks like it's going to take two of us to gather the amount of herbs we need," he mewed while his copper gaze was fixated on the thin herb storage. "We'll need to pick up some marigold and goldenrod too. We don't have enough to make two poultices, let alone one."
The medicine cat's wheels were turning in his mind. He knew that the clan would need one medicine cat in their den at all times. They never knew when things could go wrong during training or the creatures that lurked about. However, they did have apprentices and maybe a warrior or two at their disposal.
"If we need to split up, one of us can stay here. The other can go out and fetch herbs with an apprentice or a younger warrior," Cedarstorm suggested, turning to Hollyfeather. "What do you think? Would it be better if we wait until later today?"

 Patchpaw's eyes shone. "No thank you, Greenthorn. I think I can manage." He readjusted his grip on the rabbit, not wanting to let it go until the whole camp saw how impressive his kill was. "If you want though, I can bury it until we grab a little more fresh kill!" As he was finishing speaking, he heard what sounded like a loud roar and a crash coming from somewhere by the pond. His ears flattened in the beginnings of worry. "W-what was that?" He asked Greenthorn, thinking instantly of Pebblepaw. "Should we go check?"
 Lizardeye smiled wistfully. "Well, Dapplesky was my destiny. And Blacksong, for a while..." She glanced over at her mate, her eyes softening. "And Oatstream, of course. And all those moons of serving my clan." She stretched and stood. "Hopefully, I have several more moons of 'destiny' before Starclan calls me to them."
 Pebblepaw Hunting Patrol, Fighting an Earth Badger  Waspfang Hunting Patrol, heading towards Badger Attack Alone All at once Waspfang realized what it was he had smelled. That, coupled with the sound of a mighty crash caused him to leap into action. Leaving his prey behind, he bounded towards the pond, willing his legs to run as fast as they could take him.
 Dapplesky breathed a sigh of relief as they moved further from camp. She slowed her pace, wanting to be out from Thistlestar's gaze as long as possible. She stared at the ivy-covered forest around her, lost in thought, before finally speaking. "Do you guys ever... I don't know." She was quiet again for a moment, regretting having started speaking, before finally plucking up the courage once more. "I don't think Thistlestar likes me very much." She started again quietly.

Hollyfeather w/ Cedarstorm- Sand 🎃Hollyfeather flicked her tail. "I think one of us could go either now or later, maybe bring an apprentice? The other could stay here just in case. Starclan knows what bizarre things could happen while the both of us are gone," she replied softly. Though the molly didn't like believing that the worst could happen, she certainly knew it was possible and didn't want to take any chances. She appreciated how Cedarstorm had asked for her advice, considering that she still thought of the two as equals to an extent. "Would you want to go out or should I?"

Mossyleap w/ Lizardeye- bluewonderThough she knew that death was inevitable, a slight frown appeared on Mossyleap's face. She didn't want to think about death right now, or possibly ever. Blacksong's passing was devastating to all, and she couldn't imagine what would happen when it was Lizardeye's time to go. "I hope it's more than several," she commented, whiskers twitching.

Shadecreek - fighting a badger - bluewonderShadecreek felt the badger’s massive paw slamming onto him, it powerful claws raking against his pelt. He collapsed hard onto the ground, his water whips immediately dissipating into puddles on the ground. The black tom struggled to get to his paws, but was pinned down. He searched for Pebblepaw, finding him still under the bush. “G-go get help! Hurry!” he yowled, trying to gather enough strength and concentration to continue assaulting the beast with his water whips.

(if Hollyfeather goes out, she could take Sootpaw, Foxskip, or Oriolehop. if not, I'll write them starters. ) Cedarstorm medicine cat den — accompanied by: Hollyfeather Cedarstorm wrapped his tail around his paws, listening to Hollyfeather as she spoke. His fellow medicine cat did have a good point. He began thinking on who should stay and who should go. However, there was the option of neither of them going right now. Waiting a few more hours wouldn't hurt. He knew the worst could always happen, whether he and Hollyfeather liked it or not. There was no telling what could happen outside of camp, especially with elemental cats wandering around.
"I'm thinking one of us goes later with an apprentice," he replied before pausing. "Oh, I can only imagine what would happen without us around. I don't think it would be pretty."
The tabby realized that if their herb stockage was sparse, they'd have to be quick to refill it. Going now didn't seem like a great idea as finding the herbs would take time. Chervil was normally found outside the Ivy Forest and inside the Flower Fields. Marigold and goldenrod were also found there, so those two would be easy to find. However, it required a helping paw and a short trip. If anything drastic happened, it might take Cedarstorm or Hollyfeather longer to return in a haste.
"If you'd like to go now, feel free," the medicine cat meowed. "I would rather stay put for now and head out afterwards." ( tags: Dark ) |

Hollyfeather w/ Cedarstorm- Sand 🎃Hollyfeather let out a small mrrow of laughter. “It certainly wouldn’t be pretty at all,” she agreed with a flick of an ear. “You do have a good point, it would take up a good amount of time, I think I could go later.” Since there were a lot of herbs that they were running low on, she knew she would have to travel all around the territory to gather them all. (She’s going to stick around :grin:)

Pebblepaw Hunting Patrol, Fighting a Badger
With Shadecreek, Junospower
Heartbeats later, Waspfang came bursting around one of the hills to the pond clearing. His wild eyes quickly took in the situation- the broken ground, the massive badger. With a hiss, Waspfang immediately called upon his powers, concentrating on the chunk of earth directly below the badger's paws. Using the element of surprise to his advantage, he yanked on the earth, pulling chunks out from underneath the badger. The large creature stumbled and fell onto it's belly, legs trapped beneath it momentarily.

( Sand 🎃 if you need places to be for one of your starters, you can have one of your cats poof onto the border patrol with Dapplesky. Idk yet if they'll be coming across the battle or just gossiping, but I don't mind pretending like whoever it is was on the patrol from the beginning lol)
(And if anyone needs random things to do besides sit around and chat, which is always fun for character building, yall can go hunt (since this patrol was interrupted) or let your character go with someone to find something cool for their nests or train with your powers... or just chill. Whatever yall think is best.  )

Shadecreek - fighting the badger with Waspfang - bluewonderThrough exhausted yellow-green eyes, he could barely make out the silver form of Waspfang charge at the badger. He struggled to his paws, stumbling a few times before rushing at the badger himself. He was barely aware of Waspfang’s own elemental attacks as he was running on pure adrenaline at this point. With blood oozing out of his wounds and his energy gone, Shadecreek had no other option than psychical attacks. He clung onto the creature’s back, biting down on it’s scruff just to get at good grip and started to claw at it’s back with his large white paws.

Border Patrol, with Nectarbreeze and DappleskyPoppypaw pricked her ears at Dapplesky's words, seemingly echoing what she had thought herself so many times. 'I don't think she likes me very much either.' Hearing Nectarbreeze's comment she suppressed a snort of wry amusement, it was true, Thistlestar didn't behave as if she liked many cats, and Poppypaw was glad to be out of camp and away from her presence.

Shadecreek - fighting a badger - bluewonder ; moonclaw400Shadecreek felt his grip slipping and soon found himself crashing hard once again onto the ground. The badger reared up again to strike the younger warrior but was interrupted by a small black and white shape head butting the beast. Pebblepaw had joined the fight, but was backed up by Greenthorn and Waspfang. Shadecreek tried once again to rejoin the fight, but all of a sudden the pain from his wounds crashed into him and his legs didn’t have the strength to hold himself up any longer. He dropped to the ground with a thud and a grunt, unable to help. He could watch and pray to StarClan that Pebblepaw doesn’t get hurt.

Mossyleap w/ Lizardeye- bluewonderMossyleap flicked her tail in amusement. "Of course not, Lizardeye!" She assured the molly. She looked up at the sky, noting that it was almost sun high. She let out a small huff. "I should probably get to doing something productive so Thistlestar doesn't yowl at me."

Noting the patrol she gave a nod for her head. "That would probably be wiser," she said. It felt odd to know she would get first pick along with the other elders. Looking to the older tom. "Do you miss being a warrior?" Her gaze flickered to the rest of the cats around camp.
Mintpaw-Camp-Thistlestar, Open
Mintpaw whimpered as he got hit and knocked off his paws, pressing close to the ground, flinching at her last words. He took off from the leader, his ears pressing flat to his head, his fur bristling out of fear. He glanced around anxiously to see if his mentor was in sight.

Hunting, with Mothdapple Dark ' Yes, we will' Owlfoot agreed as the two toms padded out of camp. He wondered where they should hunt, maybe at Flower Fields, there should be a lot of mice at this time of year, he mused. Voicing his thoughts allowed he asked Mothdapple. ' Should we hunt at Flower Fields?'

( looks like they'll wait things out until the injured come into camp! ) Cedarstorm medicine cat den — accompanied by: Hollyfeather Cedarstorm couldn't help but let out a small mrrow of amusement. If it weren't for him or Hollyfeather, the clan would have more problems than he could come up with. They were lucky to have two full fledged medicine cats. Not every clan was as fortunate as theirs.
"Alright, we can head out later," he meowed, agreeing with the other medicine cat.
He wondered what else the two could get done in the meantime. There had to be something after all. There was no need to check the nursery anymore as Foxskip's litter had been apprenticed. They could always check up on the elders.
"I suppose we could go have a bite of prey before we leave," he suggested."Unless you have a better idea?" ( tags: Dark ) |

Mintpaw-Camp-Frecklecloud
Mintpaw whimpered but gave a nod, his fur starting to lay flat once more as he looked to his mentor. His ears pulling back further. "Just....just a bad talk with Thistlestar," he murmured. Before telling her of being scolded for playing with a leaf, neglecting to check on going out on the patrol. "She wants me to be able to build a wall of smoke by tomorrow..." He doubted he would be able to so soon, with his miserable attempt earlier, and the fact he could barely keep his focus on his training.

( if you both don't want Foxskip involved, I'll move her elsewhere. ) Foxskip nursery -> camp clearing — accompanied by: Mintpaw & Frecklecloud
 Foxskip felt as if she and her kits were forced out of the nursery. She never agreed to Thistlestar's "plan" for apprenticing her four moon old litter. They were still supposed to be in the nursery, playing and eager to learn from their clanmates. Instead, they paled in comparison to their new denmates. They were smaller, quieter, and certainly not ready to take on apprentice duties. The situation irritated the calico tabby cat far more than she ever expected.
She had just exited from the nursery where she once felt comfortable. Now it was devoid of happiness and new life. Instead, it was replaced with rage and a torn heart. Foxskip's olive green eyes scanned the clearing for Thistlestar or one of her kits. It didn't take her long to find Mintpaw, who was running away from Thistlestar. What did she do now? she thought bitterly, sprinting off to follow her son.
Suddenly, the former queen came to a halt when she noticed Frecklecloud. From what she knew, Frecklecloud had always been timid. She was meowing to Mintpaw, but Foxskip couldn't hear it as she was a bit too far from them. Now Mintpaw was responding to the black and white furred warrior. Whatever had happened, the calico tabby knew their tyrannic leader was behind it. No other cat would dare touch or harm her kits.
"Mintpaw!" she called out, padding over to the silver lilac tom and Frecklecloud. She nodded a greeting to the warrior. before turning towards her kit. She glanced around camp with fury as her pelt bristled. "What happened? Were you hurt by someone?"

Mothdapple w/ Owlfoot- 🐦silvermoon2🐦 Mothdapple nodded. "Flower Fields sounds like a good idea. The prey should be plentiful there," he meowed in response. "Maybe we'll be lucky enough to find a few flowers that catch our eye." The tom appreciated nature and the beauties it could bring. Hollyfeather w/ Cedarstorm- Sand 🎃 "Nope, can't think of anything else," the gray and white molly replied, then paused. "Though I think I overheard a couple of hunting patrols went out earlier, so I assume there's not much prey on the fresh-kill pile," she admitted. Oatstream w/ Ebonywhisker- Ember34 Oatstream flicked his tail. "Ah, sometimes I miss the adrenaline I used to get while hunting, and the connection to our clanmates during a battle." His gaze flickered over to Lizardeye, who was having a conversation with Mossyleap. "But I've served my clan for many moons, and I can appreciate the more time I have with my mate,” he purred.

You shouldn't get in trouble for something you're still learning to do"

Mintpaw-Camp-Frecklecloud, Foxskip
Mintpaw perked up, looking towards his mother at the sound of her voice. The young tom rushed to her, pressing close to her side. While he had been comforted by his mentor, it had no where near the same energy as his mother. Relaxing further, he gave himself a few licks. "Thistlestar just gave me a small hit, it didn't hurt," he stammered to her. "I just got knocked off my paws is all..." It had also frightened him, he shook out his fur.
He moved a bit away from her, sending an anxious glance back towards where he last saw Thistlestar, he really didn't want to get into trouble for seeking comfort from his mother, that was "kit" behavior, he was meant to be an apprentice now. "She was just correcting me, for not behaving as I should have...But I'll make up for it I promise, mom!" He didn't want to get into worse trouble, nor did he want to disappoint his mother by not being able to meet their leader's expectations. He looked towards his mentor, with a small flick of his tail. "I'll still try my hardest to learn it, Frecklecloud!" He didn't want to get his mentor into trouble.
Ebonywhisker-Camp-Oatstream
Ebonywhisker remained silent as the older tom spoke, her tail flicking in interest. She could recall those emotions herself, before following his gaze to Lizardeye. A pang of envy ran through her, another thing she might never get to experience she realized, turning her attention back to Oatstream. "Hopefully we get to have you guys for many more moons to come." Ahe meant the words, the elders were important parts of the clan.
