[[ no one seems to be like, saying anything (probably because it's morning) but I'm leaving to go camping in like half an hour so hiatus time basically ]] yeah, that was the middle of the night for me~ Not that that always means I'm ASLEEP but I'm trying to hold a normal schedule. It's no problem to be gone for one moon! Though I very much appreciate your early warning so we can play around your character without waiting for replies that aren't coming~ Thanks! /pos ]]

I understand that my cats will eventually die during the course of the game. I understand that while I may influence my character's actions and relationships, the game's random events will ultimately decide my cat's fate.
(Sorry for not posting it before lol)

Front page fully updated. Also I decided to take Frozenlaurel. I've been watching him since he joined the Clan and I'm offended on his behalf that he's always the last claimed and/or first dropped. He's a wonderful single dad and I will try my best to give him the appreciation he deserves. here's Shadepatch's platform sprite while I'm changing image codes: cometchaos [img]https://i.imgur.com/iSJhEac.png[/img] also I am SO glad PlumClan doesn't start until Thursday. I would have DIED if I needed to do YewClan's moon summary, PlumClan's first moon summary AND YewClan's relationship breakdown on the same day.... ]]

Frozenlaurel -x-----------x-
Dusk was easily the best time for hunting, even the former kittypet knew that, so when he was asked to go out with Thrushfleck and Cinderpaw, Frozenlaurel decided to make it easy for them and offered to meet just before the sun's rays touched the tops of the trees. It would give the hunting patrol enough time to find a good spot before dusk truly set. And they had picked a fine spot: a slight rise in the northern pine forest gave the group of cats a wonderful vantage, with the typically browned and dead carpet of pine needles gifted a second chance at glowing life as the sun's low rays cut beneath the pines in long, golden streaks.
The sun cast long shadows from the pine's trunks, perfect to hide a stalking cat from prey, and the blustering wind had held their breaths. Frozenlaurel thought he would be able to hear a mouse's heartbeat from a tree-length away.
"Alright, team," Frozenlaurel said. He kept his voice pitched low--it didn't feel right breaking the golden silence, but he was itching to try out a new team hunting strategy he'd overheard Spottedfur talking about a few nights ago. He tried to remember how the old tomcat had outlined it. "This is perfect, we have three cats and the shadows will help. We should start in a circle--I triangle I guess--and then work our way in so any prey that escapes one cat will hop into another cat's claws. It's genius!"
-x-----------x- camp - asks Bubblingstar what he can do to help jaybun!-x-----------x- Frozenlaurel felt the springtime in his bones. It felt like growing, an affluence of energy that even a long border patrol and some extra training couldn't touch. He itched to be productive.
Frozenlaurel was no stranger to insatiable yearnings of the soul--it was what pushed him to leave town to make a better life for his kits, it was what pushed him every day to apply himself on patrols, to training, to be a warrior in more than just name--but he was unfamiliar with such a physical manifestation of his emotions. He felt like a buzz of electricity that he watched snap between two wires, frizzing his whiskers. A small voice in the back of his mind kept repeating: do more.
He'd run out of things to do. He'd already gone on a border patrol and had a hunting patrol later with Thrushfleck and Cinderpaw. The grey tabby tom knew better than to overexert himself before hunting. But he had to do something.
Frozenlaurel gave his paws direction. He went to Bubblingstar. "Is there anything around camp that needs doing?" Frozenlaurel asked the ginger-and-white leader. "Anything, really. I need to do something that helps." -x-----------x- [[ OOC : Booooooo ]]

BUBBLINGSTAR - Frozenlaurel " Oh!" Bubblingstar looked up from where he was grooming the greying fur along his back. He didn't know Frozenlaurel too well, but he was thankful for the tom's work ethic. Pondspeckle had spoken fondly of his father whilst they trained, and that endearment in turn endeared himself. " Well..." he didn't think telling the other gray tom there was such a thing as too much work would help. Instead, Bubblingstar quickly glanced around camp, " the walls could always use a touch up?" He smiled up at Frozenlaurel, in a way he hoped was reassuring, " just remember to take a break soon, yeah?"

Frozenlaurel camp - asks Bubblingstar what he can do to help jaybun! -x-----------x- "Mmmmph, camp walls." Even as he acknowledged Bubblingstar's words, Frozenlaurel turned to appraise the western camp entrance, the one that led up the ridge side to the northern forests. The arch of sticks and brambles was looking a little shabby, now that he was looking at it. Like the snow of winter had weighed it down to sag into the stone.
"Just remember to take a break soon, yeah?" Frozenlaurel turned his attention back to Bubblingstar at the leader's words, catching the tom's reassuring smile.
He flicked his tail dismissively. Frozenlaurel knew the old tomcat was, well, old, but had he forgotten entirely what it was like for a cat's blood to boil with restlessness? For the urge to move, move, move and take action? "What, and I thought you Clan cats accuse kittypets of sitting on their bums all day?" he mewed, along with a broad grin and flick of his whiskers to ensure Bubblingstar understood he was only making a joke. "The only danger here is that my paws will fly away if I don't put 'em to work."
Frozenlaurel flicked his tail again, this time a friendly parting gesture. Given direction, his restless energy felt less of a burden. The grey tabby tom trotted up to the western wall, sniffing at the sagging structure, locking in on broken branches with a scathing eye. But even as the list of problems to fix piled higher and higher, it only served to settle Frozenlaurel's restlessness, putting a gleam of ambition into his chartreuse eye. He wouldn't just fix the wall, he'd improve it. Yes, yes he would. -x-----------x- [[ OOC : I love this little lad. His ambition is just. something inside of him that reaches and he's working on harnessing that feeling and applying it. Sometimes these urges are overwhelming to him still, and other times they are utterly misplaced (manifesting as jealousy for another's position or rage when he is overlooked) but he's trying his best to use his desire to do better--be better, always better--to help make his Clan better. ]]

Stormmask — medicine cat ceremony with ShadepawStormmask had never expected a day like today to ever come. She never thought she would have an apprentice of her own despite her struggles along the way. Nonetheless, she knew that Shadepaw was more than ready to be a full healer. While the medicine cats and their apprentices from the other clans gathered, Stormmask made sure she and Shadepaw had arrived first. She wanted to make her day special as Shadepaw deserved it— she had trained without Stormmask and succeeded. To her, that was admirable. ”I have a very important announcement to make today. Shadepaw, will you please stand up?” the grey tabby meowed, keeping her gaze on her apprentice. ”You have fulfilled your training as a medicine cat apprentice. From this day forward, you will be known as Shadepatch. StarClan honors your teaching skills, your care for your patients along with your strength. Tonight as you walk in the stars with StarClan, they recognize you as a full healer of YewClan.”Stormmask rested her chin atop Shadepatch’s head before leaning down. ”You are a great medicine cat, Shadepatch. I know you will serve YewClan as best as you can. I feel honored that you chose to be my apprentice,” she whispered to the tortoiseshell. ”But most of all, I admire your strength to learn and succeed on your own.”Quickly, the medicine cat cleared her throat and took her seat next to one of the many medicine cats. ”Let us dream with StarClan tonight,” Stormmask added before shooting a grin towards Shadepatch. [ tags: cometchaos ] (will get onto Spottedfur + Stormmask’s other pips when it isn’t almost 2am.)

I think I'm a Frozen x Hazel shipper. He actually has a smidge of romance for Dappleswipe too, but only Hazel really reciprocates. (ik I'm cheating I can see the relationships whenever I want, but yall will get the pages on monday~) I will give yall this little. Something idk. But I have NEVER seen a cat have a relationship value with a StarClan guide (even when you set a relationship that should include them) but here Scarletdrift is, for some reason hating on Mosspond? Hating her across the grave for being Spottedfur's dead ex? Like bruh it's been YEARS what APPARENTLY Heavy and Slatefoot ALSO have pips with her??? Heavy just one in respect and one in trust, but Slate with one like, one respect, one trust and two comfort like. When did yall TALK to her??? Even Stormmask, her daughter and meddy cat, has no pips what kind of bug was this. They had no relationship memos, and this was a recent thing because it wasn't there on moon 40....

I'm like, 99% sure it's a bug. But it's still hilarious and yall can consider it canon if it makes it funny xp stormshade1AND OH no they don't by default come with family, but a lot of people take cats that spawn with similar ages/descriptions and use the StarClan guide as a "parent" so the game treats them as siblings. ^^ Just as a way to give some structure to the Clan instead of starting with 10 unrelated cats. ]]

|| Thrushfleck - Confessed to, and sneaks off to share a nest with Shadepatch - /w: Shadepatch [Could also count for Stormmask's pip of him spending time in the medicine den. ] [ cometchaos ] ||
Thrushfleck was always the type of tom to wear his heart metaphorically on his sleeve. Or.. rather fur? Regardless, he was bountiful of emotions even when he made time to keep a certain pep in his step. His days even then had felt.. sloggish since the death of his father was followed so quickly by his sister's demise. His own sickness just wracking his chest a few moons prior. It was during that time he got to know the delightful Shadepaw, now Shadepatch, after she came to them from Burdockclan. Though.. He wasn't really aware of just how well he had gotten to know her. Despite being good with intuition and emotion- when it came to his OWN matters of the heart? Well, that was an entirely different story. The moment the words love dropped from Shadepatch's maw he could feel his own heart pounding in his ears. Did he love her back? He blinked back the shock that played on his features, and gently nuzzled in closer with a purr. The images of sharing a family coming to the forefront of his mind. " Yes, of course, I'll be your mate! "
....But that was mere hours ago now. He still felt light on his feet- giddy with the sensation of something even more to live for. Something to share with his mother and an experience he never contemplated earning for himself. It was reaching the later hours of dusk when he poked his eyes open. Noting most of the cats around him slept, he cautiously creeped forward out of the warriors den and made a mad dash for the healer's den. How could he on this night in good conscious sleep without Shadepatch? He knew, intrinsically, that he shouldn't be there but.. he didn't much care. " Hey, sorry did I wake you? " he whisper mewed out, gently nudging Shadepatch with his paw. Warmth spread throughout his chest and heart as he playfully nudged her off and snuggled into the black and ginger fur of his mate. His mate.. that was going to take some getting used to saying. //I just wanted to at least get SOMETHING out for this really cute moment man ToT

(I swear I'm getting more things out tonight it just may be a while. I already got a decent chunk of Dappleswipe's argument with Shadepatch done before cometchaos had to go, but I've been stuck trying to formulate a reasonable argument and how it would play out. I know Shadepatch's response won't be available but I'll still post it. It just seems a little out of character for Dappleswipe to be this upset with a new med cat but I digress- she's been hotheaded with both the healers this moon! Also grimmreminder I'll have something posted for a continuation of Thrush and Dapple's joking soon. It's such a cute pip and I'm honestly proud of what I wrote)

Dappleswipe Argues with Shadepatch over something trivial
After an exhausting day of completing patrols, Dappleswipe would've liked to fall asleep right where she stood, but it was only a little past sun-high. Besides, she had yet another item to cross off her duties. The tortoiseshell entered the healer’s den, patience wearing thin. Inside she caught Shadepatch sorting herbs, and without even a meow of greeting, Dappleswipe started to grumble.
“I was going to fortify our barriers today. No one's volunteered to help and it needs to be done. You and Stormmask have some leaves to spare, don't you? I have to weave them into the den walls. " Without waiting for a reply, the deputy huffed, clearly frusturated. “I also ordered Pondspeckle to bring the porcupine quills from his assessment here last moon. Did they get misplaced somehow?” Dappleswipe glared at the young healer with fierce copper eyes. How was she to get business around camp done when her clanmates were behaving irresponsibly?
Jokes about BurdockClan with Thrushfleck Dappleswipe was enjoying the fading rays of the sun as the sky turned orange, crimson, and then eventually violet. This evening was particularly lovely and she wanted to relish it as much as she could before retreating to her den. She was so distracted by the allure of the sunset that Thrushfleck’s playful swipe took her by surprise. Turning to the ginger and white warrior, she smiled. A little bit of smalltalk might be what she needed.
“Hello, Thrushfleck. Haypaw is doing remarkably well and is more than ready to become a warrior next moon. And you’ve been doing a fantastic job with Cinderpaw; it's high time you got a chance to pass your experience to an apprentice. I noticed how proud you were at the Gathering when her name was announced!”
A cheeky grin crept across the deputy's face as she rested her tail on Thrushfleck's. "Oh, and congratulations on getting together with Shadepatch. You both make an excellent pair! I'm glad you're able to look on the bright side." Her cheerfulness faltered for a moment as she reflected on Thrushfleck's solemn gaze, but it quickly dissipated as the warrior broke the tension with a joke.
"Well", Dappleswipe replied, "YewClan isn't much better of a name either. Those trees hide deathberries! I guess it serves as a reminder for the other clans not to mess with us?" The deputy realized a bit too late that her joke fell flat. Luckily, Thrushfleck diverted the conversation. "It truly is a blessing Shadepatch arrived to our clan. I'm still not sure why she left BurdockClan so abruptly, but we received a valuable healer and a loving mate out of it." And possibly some kits in the coming season... The thought struck Dappleswipe with a purr. She was getting ahead of herself. YewClan and BurdockClan together was unusual indeed!
tags:grimmreminder ooc:(Apologies for posting this late! Comet, I understand you are on your trip, but I had most of this prompt pre-written and wanted to post it anyways. Sorry this is your first encounter with Dappleswipe; normally she's not this grouchy I tried to make her seem more frazzled with work than directly angry at poor Shadepatch.) (I got Thrushfleck's pip up! I might've gotten a little carried away since it's such a sweet interaction. I'm proud of what I wrote, though! Don't feel pressured to reply to everything Dappleswipe says, Grimm. I know I got this done last minute.)

( that’s a strange bug since I’d assume that Stormmask would have at least 1 interaction with her mother, but I find it to be comical that she has interactions with Heavy and Slatefoot.
also lmao at Scarletdrift, Spottedfur was desperate to be your mate and he dislikes his dead wife 😭. I wonder if that’s part of why he rejected him + the fact Scarletdrift started crushing on Heavy. )

Scarletdrift - Wolverine Hunting with Spottedfur, Heavy, and Pondspeckle & Recovers from WhitecoughScarletdrift could finally stretch his legs. After what felt like seasons in the medicine den, he could finally leave camp, really being able to share tongues with others was nice. What he was doing now was not so nice.
Last moon, while he had been in the medicine den recovering from whitecough, Brightleaf had died out on patrol. Heavy had come back into camp with Hazelpelt, the both of them carefully dragging the young molly into camp. She had been so young. Too young. And now they were going to avenge her. They were going to find the wolverine and make sure it never kills another cat again.
Scarletdrift's claws curled, but he knew that Heavy's idea was the good one. The better one. As much as he wanted to fight the predator and make sure that it was gone forever. But it didn't matter, because now the wolverine was hiding from them, like a rabbit from a fox. Coward. He scoffed under his breath.
"Good plan," He said, before he followed Heavy into the thicket where they were to work. The two started work, silently taking the sticks and putting together several traps.

Haypaw had been working twice as hard since Pondspeckle's warrior ceremony. Of course, she was happy for her brother. There was no jealousy in her heart towards the gray tom. Though she was well aware of the pitying looks everyone gave her. But she did not need their pity. It wasn't her fault she had missed out on the first few moons of training; the only character to blame was the hawk who'd preyed on her. She was just as skilled as Pondspeckle, just as deserving. She'd just fallen behind due to reasons far out of her reach. If she could go back in time and prevent those talons from connecting with her flesh, she would. In a heartbeat. But there was no going back now. Haypaw just had to put in the work necessary to join her father and her brother in the warrior's den. To prove herself and prevent any more of those pitying stares.
She was refreshing all the bedding, helping with herb-picking patrols, and lending a paw whenever she was needed. Whatever it took for her clanmates to take her seriously. To stop feeling bad for her. But it had its tolls.
Haypaw was tired, exhausted even. She was overworking herself. And it was showing in her training.
Going over battle tactics with Dappleswipe, the tortoiseshell deputy lashed out at the apprentice. But Haypaw, usually very quick-witted and sure-footed in battle, dodged too slow. She stumbled at the blow and fell over awkwardly. Wincing as her mentor's paw paw slid across her sore muscles.
Huffing in annoyance, Haypaw rose to her paws, shaking the dust out of her fur. Her ears grew hot with embarrassment as Dappleswipe signaled her to join her.
"I just... I'm tired." The young warrior admitted after moments of silence. All of her emotions rushed out of her. "I've been doing so much extra work this moon to prove myself, I barely have time to sleep." Haypaw pawed at the dirt in frustration, "I know I've made good progress in my training. I just started late. And everyone looks at me with such sympathy, as if they expect me to feel discontent. But I don't! Pondspeckle deserves to be a warrior."
And she meant every word. Bubblingstar was only being fair, why would she resent him for making her brother a warrior and not her when she'd, unfortunately, had to miss out? If Haypaw herself wasn't upset, why did all of her clanmates feel so sorry for her? Even Dappleswip gave her looks of sympathy when she thought Haypaw wasn't paying attention. "I just hate being pitied when I know nothing is wrong."
