c u r r e n t c l a n [ Brownie ; these two are just a mess and i've decided islandbloom is just completely oblivious to anyone's emotions or tension. i apologize for any inconsistencies in my writing pls i am so ancient at roleplayig but im workin on it ] i s l a n d b l o o m The scraggly deputy left a few choice words for themself. Silly you, Island! What do you know about being friendly? You're acting like this is a debrief. Islandbloom shook their head slightly, before perking up as Cloudsnarl spoke.
Nothing out of the ordinary. Typical, but not unwelcome. Observing her clanmate closely, they noticed the stiffness and tension in the air, choosing to stomp that out quickly. Islandbloom decided to look off into the distance, trying to make the fawn hued she-cat feel less interrogated. They cursed themselves out in their head, shaming them for the lack of communication skills. Just give up, Bloomy. Bloomy was the golden tabby's nickname from her parents. She winced at the thought, nearly missing the warrior's response.
"I need to be ready for patrol." Huh? The deputy paused for a moment. Their golden eyes stared down Cloudsnarl intensely- but unintentionally. Surely, since she's getting ready for a patrol, she wants to go on the next patrol?
"Perfect! You're leading a hunting patrol," they stated gruffly, their tail twitching beside their soft white paws. Thinking they've done something nice for the fluffy she-cat, they internally praised themself. |

didn't know you could comment huh well it's not this is just a font size of 0px so it doesn't show. I could write a whole story in here that you couldn't see unless you quoted the code isn't that funny and cool. Secret messages amiright LMAO look at you reading my code Cloudsnarl Cloudsnarl hid a grimace behind a toothy smile, looking up at Islandbloom upon their perch. "Great, I'll put one together then," she replied. "We'll be off quick as a storm." At least she wouldn't be sitting in camp all day, waiting, she supposed, and if they hunted the cove, a patrol could catch enough to finish up before sunhigh if they were lucky. Cloudsnarl gave the deputy a parting wave with her tail before slipping into the hollow log and climbing her way into camp proper.
It was only once she was certain Islandbloom wouldn't be able to hear her that Cloudsnarl hissed under her breath. But her irritation was quickly offset by relief: she hadn't been found out after all, she kept her cover. As she climbed to the first burrow --the warrior's den, the largest and most open space in CurrentClan's camp-- and started looking about for cats to add to her patrol, she was hit with the sudden realization that she wasn't just on a hunting patrol, she was asked by Islandbloom to lead a patrol!
Cloudsnarl stood a little straighter, held herself a little taller, her ears and tail high as she approached the first cat that was awake and moving in the den: Tempestfur. The grey tomcat's fur was spiky and unkempt, like he'd just rolled out of his nest, but Cloudsnarl knew the tomcat well enough to know that's just how he was most the time and that he'd probably woken up at the same time as the dawn patrol-- he might have even been on the dawn patrol.
There was no way to know that without asking, though, so Cloudsnarl got straight to it, hailing Tempestfur with a flick of her tail-tip and a slow blink. "I'm leading a hunting patrol, would you like to join?" she asked. "Oh, and Mangopaw too. Uh, if you don't have other plans, that is." Maybe she could be more assertive, now that she was leading a patrol. Stars knew she'd never been asked so politely to join a hunting patrol-- or if she had, it was only a command in disguise, since she wasn't allowed to refuse. But she wasn't about to order Tempestfur around! He could squish her like a meadow roach! uwu uwu dou Islandbloom is perfect <3 Bloomy. [ ᴅᴀᴍᴘʀᴇᴇᴅ ] ᴄᴏɴɪ﹣ғᴇʀᴏᴜs @ Tempestfur and mentions Mangopaw; if anyone else wants cats in on this patrol lmk~ Honestly, Cloudsnarl is here to be an absolute Gremlin Child with no emotional maturity. She should probably come with her own warning lmao but she gotta start awful if she's gonna have a redemption arc. uwu uwu |

c u r r e n t c l a n [ Brownie ; poor cloudsnarl dude island is so stupid ALSO random npc cat is covering camp bc being on guard is hard to rp without interesting things happening :') ] i s l a n d b l o o m Minutes had passed after they flicked their tail in farewell to Cloudsnarl as she went to built her patrol. Islandbloom twitched her ear, observing their surroundings intently. They sat a bit hunched over as to blend in more with the brambles she settled behind. While they were so intensely scanning the terrain, they mulled endlessly over their prior interaction.
Was I being too overwhelming? How do you even communicate? She hissed outwardly, pinning her ears back against her skull. Their fur stood on end thanks to their own thought process. "Stay professional," she mumbled, irritation growing in their veins. Twitching their eye, the golden tabby brought themself to their paws, arching their back in a much needed stretch.
Islandbloom shook out her wiry coat. They turned and slipped easily through the hollow log into camp, paying extra attention to the texture of the wood below their paws. She stood tall as she spoke to her clanmate, letting them know it's their turn to watch camp. After they parted ways, the gangly deputy slinked around until they found the white-and-cream she-cat.
They hesitated for a few moments. What if they don't want you there? She shook her head, trying to get rid of the thoughts. Islandbloom started towards the warrior, her tail low and flicking at the tip. Finally, they managed up enough courage to speak.
"Mind if I tag along?" |

 T e m p e s t f u rCloudsnarl, Islandbloom || Camp || Tag Brownie dou»»————- ★ ————-«« Tempestfur's eyes turned to where Cloudsnarl was standing. Oh good, a hunting patrol. Cloudsnarl wasn't the easiest cat to get along with, but he could patrol with her just fine. At least he was certain she would take initiative instead of expecting others to do something.
"That would be good, thank you," he mewed. "I'll have to go wake Mangopaw up - you haven't seen her awake, have you?" He didn't mention that he would preferrably go to Banana Cove - if it was a hunting patrol she wanted, it was most certainly where they were going to go to. Two birds in one pounce, and he was close to getting both.
He paused in heading out of the den when Islandbloom approached. Ah crud. The deputy. He was fairly certain that this part was a ploy to get him to do more than just hunt and patrol with his apprentice. At Islandbloom's question, Tempestfur stifled a grimace and shot a glance at Cloudsnarl. This was her patrol, she would get to choose - but all the same he somewhat did wish that she would say no.

Tumblefawn camp — accompanied by: open!  Tumblefawn was exiting the warrior's den quietly in a daze. Their sleep was disturbed by odd noises and paranoia throughout the night. They knew sleeping in late wouldn't get anything achieved, so they forced themself out of their nest. Their fawn coat was sticking up in all directions. Sniffing the air, they glanced around camp to see if Typhoonstar or Islandbloom were up. They spotted Islandbloom with Cloudsnarl, a young warrior like themself and Echosplash. She was two moons older though and they were apprehensive of Cloudsnarl. They found the cream and white she-cat to be rigid and rough with others.
Maybe they didn't need to join the patrol as Cloudsnarl had already gone after Tempestfur. If Islandbloom was tagging along, then there was no need for them to join. Anxiously, they stared at Islandbloom and Cloudsnarl, unsure if they should offer to join. Is it worth my time? Maybe I can find Echosplash and we can head out together, they thought, searching for their littermate.
They made their way to the camp's clearing and sat down to clean their messy pelt. They began grooming ever so slowly and gently. Their gaze was fixated on the forming patrol. Blinking, the cat wondered what they would do today. Sitting around wouldn't be of any use.
Tallfrond camp — accompanied by: open!  Tallfrond had woken up early as he always did. He was a go-getter, an early riser unlike some of his denmates. He padded quickly out of the warriors' den, holding his head and tail high. I gotta find Wrassepaw immediately. We don't have time to waste today, he thought, looking across the camp to the apprentices' den. He carefully padded towards the clearing, passing Tumblefawn who seemed preoccupied.
If he couldn't find his apprentice, Tallfrond always had a back up plan. In the possibility of Wrassepaw being elsewhere, he would find a patrol to join or somehow convince Islandbloom to let him lead one. The deputy was normally gentle, so he didn't mind them. They did their duty well and served the clan properly, so the ticked tabby was fond of them.
Glancing around, he too noticed the forming patrol of Islandbloom, Cloudsnarl, and Tempestfur. They must be headin' out soon, he noted before focusing on the apprentices' den once more. He would wait for Wrassepaw unless his apprentice decided not to show.
Shalepaw camp, apprentice's den — accompanied by: open! Shalepaw was being... well, lazy. She didn't want to leave her soft nest for the sunlight and clouds. It meant she would have to train with her mentor, Islandbloom. She liked Islandbloom as much as the next cat, but they felt unmotivated. If they stayed in the apprentices' den all day, surely some cat would notice.
Grumbling, the long haired grey she-cat rose to her paws. She shook out her pelt which was, honestly, a mess. Sand easily made its way into her thick fur and it was a pain to get rid of. She made her way to the den's entrance, peering outside. I don't see Islandbloom from here, she thought, her gaze searching for the tabby. Nope, they're not here... yet.
Shalepaw took her sweet time to exit the den, her thick tail sweeping across the camp floor. Maybe she could find one of her denmates to hang out with for the time being. Jaguarprowl camp — accompanied by: open!  Jaguarprowl was known for being in a sour mood in the mornings and he never failed to be prove it wrong. The warrior had left camp before dawn to wander to Banana Cove, but quickly grew bored of his idea. Another hour or two of sleep would do him some good. So, the black tom slipped back into camp and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, Jaguarprowl noticed that several nests were empty. He felt groggy at first, so he closed his green eyes. Maybe he shouldn't have slept more. Taking his apprentice, Rainpaw, out would have been a better decision. He still had time to search for Rainpaw or another cat. After all, he needed to start his day right.
He stood up, stretching in his nest momentarily before heading out of the warriors' den. Plenty of cats were awake, so he knew he had an opportunity or two. He glanced around camp briefly, noticing that Rainpaw wasn't nearby. She must still be asleep then, he thought, making a note of it. He would have to find his apprentice or a warrior to head out with.

»»————- ★ ————-«« Lavapaw felt it was reasonable to feel enough pride about the bunch of herbs gripped between her jaws. For a leaffall this was a huge harvest. Plenty thyme, a poppy head, borage that was being rushed to the den so that it wouldn’t be droopy before preservation. The apprentice had a jaunty bounce to her step as she walked back to camp. Dappleddoe would be pleased! Although one part of her did wonder if she overharvested? It was possible she should have left a little more in the gardens to flower again by greenleaf.
The healer apprenticd twitched her whiskers, slightly put-off by the idea. She should know better now than to doubt her own actions, but the possibility of getting something wrong still probed at her. What was done was done, though. Lavapaw kept her head held high as she entered camp. She spared a glance at where Islandbloom seemed to be curating a patrol (StarClan, Lavapaw wished she had the level of sternness they could exude) before entering the medicine den.
”Mmor’ing, ‘Apple’ow!” she said through the herbs. She carefully set the bundle down beside rest of the herb stocks before adding: ”We’ve had a good harvest today! I think we might be almost stocked up for leafbare!”

c u r r e n t c l a n [ Sand ; i hope it's okay if i throw hazypaw at you !! i feel like they could get along to an extent in a "ur so annoying but it's okay" kinda way. or potentially siblings since they look so similar?? in which case i can edit her age up a moon :3 ] h a z y p a w The rustling of other apprentices kicked up dust and other debris, causing the rather lazy she-cat apprentice to stir from her usual long-winded snooze. Grumbling a horrible slur of unintelligible words, Hazypaw rolled over in a dramatic stretch.
Achoo!
The apprentice sneezed something fierce as more dust wafted towards her. She flicked her ear which resulted in a soft puff of sand. The dusty charcoal colored she-cat rose to her paws, landing another exaggerated stretch before she sat back down in her nest, proceeding to groom her downy coat. Despite her general lack of caring, she did like to keep herself clean and presentable.
The yellow-eyed cat finished her grooming and looked up, noticing one of her denmates. Perking her tufted ears, Hazypaw decided to stretch out once more, shaking out her fur and causing yet another flurry of sand to kick up. Oops?
Once up and standing, the large feline happily trotted over to the grey she-cat, trying to be on the slightly louder side as to warn her that she was approaching.
"Good morning, Shalepaw!" she purred happily, her tail flicking in a positive manner. "Sleep well?" |

 DAPPLEDDOE And then, as though coaxed from the dark by the sound of her own concerns, the apprentice appears at the mouth of the den. Slightly out of breath, smelling of salt water and tropical flowers, Lavapaw's jaw so stuffed with a variety of herbs and berries it amazed the medicine cat that her jaw didn't dislocate beneath the weight of her load.
Her purr is gentle, an affection that very barely muffles her amusement. "Did you leave anything on the trees for the birds to make nests, sweet one?"
Dappleddoe ducks her head toward the deposited bundle, sifting through it with the same amount of care a new mother would study her new-borns with. The heady smell of borage, the soothing scent of poppy seeds. A good bundle, that would go a great way toward restocking their dwindling supplies.
How she had ever survived without the youngster, Dappleddoe wasn't quite sure.
"Almost," comes her confirming purr, the work wasn't quite done, but it never would be. But she didn't let that get to her apprentice. She scoops the bundle of borage up in particular with a neat swish of her tail. "What is the use of this herb, Lavapaw?" She quizzes, as she often did. Sharpening the youngsters skills, as she often did her own. Never allowing a single skill to soften, become blunt.
With her Clan, only the stars knew exactly when it might be needed. |

didn't know you could comment huh well it's not this is just a font size of 0px so it doesn't show. I could write a whole story in here that you couldn't see unless you quoted the code isn't that funny and cool. Secret messages amiright LMAO look at you reading my code Cloudsnarl Cloudsnarl nodded at Tempestfur's agreement. "Nope," she replied. She hadn't any reason to visit the apprentice's den, not since she became a warrior, and she hopefully would never need to stick her nose into the cramped space for the rest of her life. "The only cat I've seen this morning besides you is Islandbloom," she added, just as the deputy appeared from the fallen log into camp, like they'd heard their name before it was spoken.
For a few moments, Cloudsnarl thought Islandbloom's appearance had nothing to do with her patrol-gathering mission, but that assumption was quickly repaired when she turned their way and approached. "Mind if I tag along?" they asked. Tempestfur shot Cloudsnarl a glance which she returned, a slow blink of and a twitch of her whiskers showing her surprise at Islandbloom's request.
"Certainly. More cats means more prey for the elders," Cloudsnarl said. Did this mean she was no longer leading the patrol? Sure, Tempestfur had also outranked her (most every cat in the Clan did, excluding the apprentices, obviously), but he was only a few seasons older. If it were Typhoonstar here, the patrol's leadership would have undoubtably been ceded to him... but it had been Islandbloom who asked her to lead the patrol in the first place. Was the deputy having second thoughts? Or was it a test?
Cloudsnarl decided that she'd lead the patrol until Islandbloom said otherwise. Perhaps her initiative would offset some of the earlier awkwardness earlier that morning. "Right," she said, gathering herself. "We can hunt in Banana Cove, there's always plenty of prey around. I should find one more cat to join us to ensure we catch enough before sun-high scares everything into their burrows."
Of course, it was after she'd gathered a few cats that more poked their heads from their dens. Perhaps they all knew she had enough for a patrol already and could breathe a sigh of relif that they weren't chosen and could do whatever they wished for the morning. Even so, she spotted Tumblefawn watching their patrol from the sidelines, their wide eyes familiar even in the gloom of the burrow. Perfect. Tumblefawn was one of the few cats even younger than Cloudsnarl and they were easy enough to boss around. She didn't bother to cross the space to them, she simply turned their way with a wave of her cream ringed tail. "Tumblefawn! You're on hunting patrol!" uwu uwu dou Hey everyone loves island, they just hate authority <3 And Cloudsnarl is notorious for reading too much into simple things lmao ᴄᴏɴɪ﹣ғᴇʀᴏᴜs Sand you're in too now~ I'm almost regretting making a character that's so volitile lmao But I'm tired of playing passive and stoic old guys to be the Voice of Reason.

c u r r e n t c l a n [ Brownie ; ᴄᴏɴɪ﹣ғᴇʀᴏᴜs ; my silly little muse is low so my sad little reply is short i hope this gives y'all something to work with WAAAAH also that's how i feel about island :sob: i've never had a character so awkward and oblivious they're usually evil ] i s l a n d b l o o m The tone of Cloudsnarl's words hit Islandbloom before the words themselves did. "Certainly." While they didn't understand the tone of her approval, it didn't matter too much to the tabby. The confirmation was enough to ease the deputy's awkwardness enough to be able to sit down a few tail-lengths away from the two warriors. They flicked their tail and dipped their head in thanks before letting her get back to her patrol leading duties.
While the two conversed about the whereabouts of Tempestfur's apprentice, the golden tabby took the time to observe the surrounding clearing. Lavapaw had just come back from a herb gathering trip and seemed to be successful. Dappleddoe is doing a wonderful job. Lavapaw is coming along so nicely. They quietly purred in pride, watching the apprentice grow into a wonderful medicine cat. Moving on, they set marks on several warriors and apprentices pondering about. Floating debris. The usual, nothing out of the ordinary.
Focusing back in on the two cats, they overheard the location. Banana Cove. Islandbloom twitched their tail in a silent approval.

[ I’m down with relating Shalepaw to Hazypaw, I can also change Shale’s age too ^^;
It felt like it took me a long time (2 1/2 days) to write the starters. I also screwed up on Shalepaw’s, but I think it’s okay. I like to take my time and then sometimes I kinda don’t ?
I actually enjoy writing rude or evil characters. I have several of them as OCs and I don’t know why I like them.
rip Tumblefawn, you’re gonna be ripped to shreds by Cloudsnarl. ]
