busybee hibiscuspuddle awesome! all I need is two so Ibiscry can mentor Egretpaw and Aphidshell can mentor Specklepaw. If I can get my starter up in a timely manner I will have Coaststar assign patrols for the morning. What I'll do is have Coaststar just returning from the Sacred Place where she earned her lives and suffix -star. She'll announce patrols for the morning and also announce that later in the day there will be a ceremony to name the new deputy. If I can't get it up (I did myself dirty with coding so adding characters is a pain in the bottom lmao) in a timely manner just assume that Coaststar hasn't returned yet (they can find it odd if you'd like) and the highest ranking warrior named the patrols for now in Coaststar's absence. It looks like Aphidshell is the oldest warrior out of the warriors (unless I'm blind?) so we'll say she's in charge until Coaststar returns. does this sound okay with everyone?

Rosewing
warrior - he/they - 36 moons - in camp, talking with Lichenheart and Ibiscry (Dew & busybee )He smiled at Ibiscry as she walked over. "Good morning, Ibiscry." His gaze dropped to the raven she carried. He hadn't thought about it yet, but he didn't have any breakfast , and he was actually getting kind of hungry. "Now that you mention it, I would love to have some food." His tail flicked as he spoke. It's probably a good thing that she offered to share, or else he probably would have forgotten. |

Coaststarreturning from the Sacred Place anew - open
The night had been hard. Coaststar had begun the day excited to take on her newest challenge, to prove her worthiness as a leader and be the best Sawgrassclan has seen in a long time. All of those things were still true, but Coaststar hadn't expected the best night of her life to be so full of emotion. It wasn't hard in a way where she had wanted it to stop or regretted it, but she had cried harder than she had in a long time. She would never share the events of the Sacred Place Leader Ceremony. She had seen warriors she hadn't realized still looked down upon her and the clan. She met strangers whose power was indescribable. Coaststar had been underprepared.
So, when she trekked back into camp she looked exhausted. Her fur disheveled, she looked like she hadn't slept a wink despite the opposite being true. Once merely a warrior known as Coastflood she was now the newest leader of Sawgrassclan - Coaststar. She would never hear her warrior name again. It was a bittersweet thought.
Her warriors were milling around camp, engaged in conversation. It was still so very early, but you could tell that it would be a hot day due to the humidity alone. Shaking the sleep from her head, she entered the camp with her head held high, "Warriors," she announced, hoping they would turn to her and give her their attention - she was their leader after all, "I think it's time we set out on patrols. Any volunteers for border patrols? Hunting patrols?" she scanned the camp, taking mental note of who was around, "Aphidshell(hibiscuspuddle ), take your apprentice with you and one other volunteer of your choice for hunting. The evening patrol brought in plenty so I believe a small patrol for this will suffice."
As for the border patrol, she weighed her options and then announced, "Ibiscry(busybee ), take Whisproar and two other volunteers to take on the border. If you believe you need an extra set of paws take your apprentice, otherwise leave Egretpaw here." |

Geckokitin the nursery | talking to Snakekit and Crocodilekit (hibiscuspuddle and busybee )
kit ~ he/him ~ 5 moons Geckokit smiled happily at his sister. “Great! How about you, Crocodilekit?” One down, one to go! He started hoping paw to paw, tail twitching in anticipation… and impatience.
Sorry, bad rp. But Crocodilekit should be given a chance to respond. |

Aphidshell
warrior - she/her - 89 moons - in campAphidshell really wasn't in the mood to do anything today. She sighed as she got up, grumbling to herself. Although, she knew that Coaststar must be under a lot of stress - she could see it in how disheveled the new leader's pelt was. "Alright, got it." She said, looking to see where Specklepaw(Briarspirit ) was located. "Anyone want to join us on a hunting patrol?" She called out, scanning the camp to see who was interested.
Rosewing
warrior - he/they - 36 moons - talking with Ibisroar & Lichenheart (Dew , busybee )Rosewing had already taken a piece of the raven (and one of it's feathers which he set beside him. A nice trinket he could add to his nest.) , eating his portion as Coaststar spoke. He turned to Ibiscry. "Hey, could I join you and Whisproar? I was hoping to go on a border patrol, I have a lot of energy today for some reason." He stood up, stretching. "Lichenheart, are you gonna join Aphidshell's hunting patrol? If so, let's hope she's in a good mood today." |

Ibiscry - Camp - With Rosewing and Lichenheart
The molly glanced over to listen intently as the patrols were assigned, shifting her focus back to Rosewing once more as the tom spoke to her again following the announcements. "I'd be just fine with you going with. I'll probably leave Egretpaw here, I was planning on doing some battle training with them later. Let's eat quick before we go." With that she settled down and took a bite of the raven, pushing it toward the tom afterwards and angking her ears towards Lichenheart to hear their response.
Crocodilekit - Nursery - With Geckokit and Snakekit
The tom was tired honestly, having had a tough time sleeping the night prior, but he begrudgingly got up anyways and shook out her fur. "Yeah we can go out. What are you wanting to do? We really shouldn't bother the warriors, they might be busy."

Geckokitin the nursery | talking to Snakekit and Crocodilekit (hibiscuspuddle and busybee )
kit ~ he/him ~ 5 moons “Awesome! Cmon, let’s go!” Geckokit ran out of the nursery, giving his mother a quick nod on the way out. He poked his head back in to make sure his littermates followed. He thought about what Crocodilekit said. “We won’t bother the warriors if they don’t notice us.” Spying on the warriors seemed like a fun challenge to start the day with.
Naughty kits are plotting something. Or maybe it’s just Geckokit. |

Lichenheart
Lichenheart nodded, taking a note of that. Maybe she could take Bristlemoss with her, that was always fun. Sometimes Bristlemoss even got Lichenheart to fool around. Imagine! "I'll make sure to hunt someplace else then" She said.
Lichenheart couldn't stop herself from admiring Rosewing. He had taken a hunting patrol at night, and yet he still was ready to get up and do something in the morning! Had he even gotten any sleep? I can't imagine doing that! I need to get a goods night sleep for me to do anything!
Ibiscry came and sat down next to the two cats, bringing a Raven with her. "I would love too!" Lichenheart said, with a smile. She started on her share, relishing the taste of the dead bird.
Coaststar had now entered the camp, and she looked- not great. The older molly looked disheveled and sad, and Lichenheart couldn't help but sympathize with her. She didn't think that her parents would have gone to Starclan, as they were loners, but seeing dead friends would make her heart hurt just as much.
The leader called for a few of the older warriors to organize patrols, and Lichenheart finished her part of the raven. "I don't know, Aphidshell can be pretty grumpy" Lichenheart said. She would much prefer to go hunting alone than with Aphidshell, to be honest. Well, Aphidshell in a bad mood. The older warrior always found something to be grumpy about it felt like, and that was something that drew Lichenheart away. "But you two have fun! See you later?"
(I'll get the rest of my cats up later, but feel free to rp with them otherwise
Edit: I had to make the talking color lighter because of the dark blue background! Oh no!) |

warrior - he/they - 36 moons - in camp with Lichenheart and Ibiscry"I hope you catch something good, Lichenheart." He smiled, looking back at Ibiscry as she spoke before he took a few more bites of the raven. While he ate, he scanned the camp to see where Whisproar was, until he spotted her dark brown fur. |

Ibiscry - Camp - With Rosewing and Lichenheart
The molly gave a bright smile and took another bite of the bird, chewing and swallowing before speaking again. "Yeah, good luck on your hunt Lichenheart. See you later!" She quickly took a couple more bites of her meal and then pushed the remainder toward Rosewing, sitting up and giving herself a really quick groom. "Alright. I'm almost all ready to go. I see Whisproar. Who else do you think we should bring Rosewing?"
Crocodilekit - Camp - With Snakekit and Geckokit
The tom gave a heavy sigh as he followed his siblings from the nursery. "Sneaking around never ends well, you know that, I know that, we all know that. We should just go play a game on our own until the patrols leave. Then we can see who's left and find someone else to play with." Always trying to keep his siblings and himself out of the trouble the tom was trying to think of a compromise that would work for his brother.

Geckokit sighed. He was clearly outvoted. Why did he have to have such “calm” and “reasonable” siblings?!? “Alright. What do you guys want to do until then? Play mossball?”
That way he could at least run around and burn off some energy. Then maybe he could check up on the warriors and apprentices.
foiled by democracy… for now. Sorry for the delay. I work afternoons and evenings. |

Snakekit
kit - she/her - 5 moons - with siblings (tumblepaw, busybee )"Moss-ball is fine." She was glad that Crocodilekit had managed to convince Geckokit... she didn't want to get into trouble. She would have preferred going back into the nursery, but she supposed this was better than whatever Geckokit would get them into. Rosewing
warrior - he/they - 36 moons -with Ibiscry (busybee)He listened intently as she spoke. "Hmm.." He stood up a bit straighter to get a better view of camp. "Maybe Bristlemoss or Emberheart?" He looked back at Ibiscry. "Both of them are already out and about, so we wouldn't have to wake anyone up." He finished off the raven with a few bites as he waited for her reaction.

Orchid
Orchid padded back into camp after Coaststar, the newly appointed leader. Orchid knew that the new leader had been unprepared to the emotional toll a leaders ceremony brought with it. Orchid hadn't really been prepared for it, to be honest.
But Coaststar would have to move on, until she joined her loved ones in the clouds. When Orchid had first joined the clan, she hadn't believed in Starclan. A group of dead cats who had the power give cats more than one life? She had thought that the cats of Sawgrassclan had been pulling her leg. She had been proved wrong when the former leader had lost a life however. They had died, and come back to life. Who wouldn't believe after that?
But now Orchid was in the medicine den, making sure everything was in order while she had been away. Gustpaw had done a pretty good job, considering that there were kits in the clan. But, those kits were almost apprentices, and they knew better than to mess with her.
"Gustpaw!" Orchid called, wondering if the older apprentice was still sleeping. She knew that he was almost ready to get his full name, but she was worried that she would do it all wrong. What is she gave him a name that he didn't like? Or he wasn't ready and failed somehow? Starclan was not one on her concerns. After all, could they really shape the course of a cats life? They were helpful sometimes yes, but she would be the one to tell Gustpaw that he was ready, not Starclan.

Ploverpelt
Ploverpelt wanted to hunt today. He had gotten up early, like he always did, like he believed everycat should. He had been doing it since he was an apprentice, because his mentor had done it as well. And when he got an apprentice, they would probably get an early riser as well. It was a cycle.
Coaststar, didn't looked so good, to say the least. She came back into camp with a disheveled pelt, and she didn't look so good. Orchid had already left her side, but he thought that their new leader should have some rest in the medicine den. Well, he could hunt to help his clan a least.
"I'll go" Ploverpelt called, one of the first to volunteer for the hunting patrol. He padded over to Aphidshell. "Maybe we can bring one more cat? Three is a good number for me" He said, trying to brighten the mood a little. Most cats were still sour and sad from their former leaders death. And, three was a good number. You can take on almost any enemy with three cats, and bring back a good amount of prey. "Yes, three is good, don't you agree?" |

Bristlemoss
She was wandering around camp when she heard her name mentioned. Her ears pricked with curiosity. Rosepetal had wondered if she could join the hunting patrol. She approached them and smiled. "I can join the hunting team too if you want" she meowed. She couldn't wait until she could go hunting and bring back some prey for her clan.

Gustpawmorning routine, awaiting his mentors return - Dew
Luckily, the night had been pretty easy. When Orchid and Coaststar left camp for Coaststar to receive her nine lives, Gustpaw had watched them leave with bottle up excitement. It had been a while since he had been able to take the lead in medicine cat duties while Orchid was away or busy. Despite the passing of the clan's previous leader (old age), the clan was bright and enthusiastic to start a new day. Well, when you had watched you leader no longer fit to lead yet reject the idea of stepping down, you would be enthusiastic too to have a young vibrant cat take their position. Burrowstar had been a great leader during Gustpaw's earliest moons, but as Gustpaw grew stronger in health, Burrowstar grew weaker. It was honestly a surprise that it had taken this long for his final live to give.
Gustpaw shouldn't think of his previous leader in this way. The stubborn old tom, afterall, had allowed his Mentor - and dare Gustpaw say friend - to join the clan and had been estastic when Starclan called the she-cat to be the clans medicine cat. Gustpaw wasn't a born warrior, he had always been small and sickly so while the other kits were play wrestling and pretend hunting, Gustpaw was spending enormous amounts of time in the medicine cats den. He was thankful that he too was called to serve upon his 6th moon and was forever grateful to continuously learn from Orchid for the following eleven moons. He didn't even mind that he hadn't received his final full name yet. He was just blessed to have been able to live this long.
Gustpaw, in fact, had been awake since the earliest rays of sun begun to show in the sky. He had spent the quiet morning, before the rest of the clan awoke, collecting herbs just outside of camp. Some places on their medicine shelves had begun to grow sparce, but luckily in things found close to home. He had returned to camp as the clan was starting to bustle, minutes before the return of his mentor and the clans new leader. He had been restocking their supplies, tucked behind some leaves away from view near their nests when Orchid returned. He had noticed her arrive, but didn't duck out from his task until he heard his name called.
He spit out what leaves had been in his mouth still and then quickly poked his head out to see his mentor, "Good morning, Orchid. Did the nine lives ceremony go well?" He knew she couldn't give details, but she could at least tell him what kind of mood Coaststar and herself were in. He made his way into full view and sat before Orchid, his tail tucked in front of him and his head slightly lowered as a sign of respect, "And do you have insider knowledge on who Coaststar intends to name as our new deputy?" Curiosity killed the cat or something like that, Gustpaw would hopefully never give him that questioning nature of is.

At least Snakekit is happy, Geckokit thought. He didn’t like seeing her anxious. Strange how she changed her mind about checking on the warriors. Oh well.
“I’ll get the mossball!” Geckokit ran back into the nursery to fetch the mossball. He bumped into Moonflight and gave a quick hi to her. He grabbed it with his claws and ducked back out of the nursery. He batted the mossball, sending it flying a short distance away.
Game on! |

WhisproarHiding out near the warriors den, Whisproar all but scarfed down the bit of prey she had managed to secure for herself from the pile before anyone else took advantage of it. She scanned the camp, watching as her clansmen gathered in groups or wandered aimlessly. She noticed when Gustpaw returned to camp and she stiffened when Coaststar and Orchid returned. Whisproar was proud of her sister, but she didn't look like it. It wasn't necessarily a look of disdain on her face, but it was a look that was close to it. She had always thought her siblings, specifically her sister, were a bit on the bossier side. Maybe it was just their difference in personality. Who knew.
When Coaststar spoke, Whisproar considered heading over to her just to hold her up. She knew that wouldn't look great though. Their leader didn't need to be held up by her sister. She would rest and be the strong warrior and leader Whisproar knew she could be. Consideration was all, however, as Whisproar didn't even rise from her spot as her sister starting listing off patrols. The only time she began to move was when she heard her name. She rose from her spot, but did not leave it. She just wanted to observe until it was time to go.
Finally, her name was called by someone with some seblance of authority. They were about to leave for the border patrol, about time, so she rose and quickly padded over to join the group.
"Good morning, everyone," she said, dipping her head to each in hello, "Are we ready to study our untouched borders?" she laughed, joking lightly. For the most part, their territory was unbothered. Sometimes, strangers would appear. All Whisproar hoped was to never see the monsters explained in the story of their clans creation. The mere thought shook her to her core.

Aphidshell
warrior - she/her - 89 moons - going on patrol with Ploverpelt and Specklepaw (Dew )"...Did you not hear Coaststar? I'm taking Specklepaw and one warrior. There's already 3 of us." She rolled her eyes, but seemed more cordial when Specklepaw walked over. "Good. You're here too." She sat down, addressing the two members of her patrol. "I was thinking we would go towards the Southern part of our territory, where there's a large but shallow pond. The prey there is small, but we can catch a lot of small things like frogs and small fish. If all three of us are there, it means that if the prey swims away from one of us, it'll be swimming toward someone else." She stood back up. "Alright. All of us are here, so let's head out." Aphidshell certainly wasn't the most pleasant warrior to deal with, but at least she was an effective patrol leader. Snakekit
kit - she/her - 5 moons - playing mossball with siblings (tumblepaw )As she saw the moss-ball roll, she decided that she would practice her hunting pounce. She pounced on the ball as it rolled towards her. She landed pretty awkwardly, flopping onto her side, but she managed to catch the moss-ball between her paws. Her eyes shone with pride for her catch.
Rosewing
warrior - he/they - 36 moons - on Ibiscry's patrol (Lea aquatail busybee )"Hello, Bristlemoss, Whisproar." He turned to the brown she-cat. "I'm personally quite ready. I'm in the mood to check our borders today." He smiled.
He noticed how the hunting patrol was mostly cats who weren't clanborn. He found that interesting- usually when he was assigned to patrols they consisted of mostly, if not all clanborn cats, although he didn't speak on it. |

Ibiscry - Leaving Camp - With Rosewing, Brittlemoss, and Whisproar
She gave a smile, happy once everyone was joined up and pleased to hear they were all ready to get going. "Let's not waste any time then." With that she led the way, padding to the entrance of the camp and then out into the territory beyond, scenting the air now and then as they began to padd away from camp and toward their eastern border. She figured they'd start there, the scent markers along that border needed to be redone the most out of them all so.
Crocodilekit - Camp - With Snakekit and Geckokit
Giving a smile and a small chuckle at his sister the tom bounded forward to join, hooking the ball with his claw to pull it from his sister's grasp and send it flying back toward their brother. "Ope! Watch out Geckokit!" He hadn't been aiming for him but it was hilarious as he watched the mossball hit his brother right in the face. The tom started laughing from it.

Orchid
Orchid was glad to see that the camp was in order and that the medicine den was not messy. Good, seems the kits haven't thought to touch it... yet. She remembered when they were younger, they used to come in here all the time! Orchid knew that the 'leader' had been Geckokit, the one who liked to charge into everything head first.
"It seemed too. I don't know that much about them, but Coaststar is here now, and she has her lives" Orchid replied. Gustpaw seemed to have done an adequate job taking care of the den. "And no. I have some ideas on who I think would fit the role, but I didn't ask, and she didn't bring it up" Although, would a clanborn medicine cat ask those things? Well, I'm not clanborn, and I have liked my life so far. I don't care if others disapprove of me, I will do things the way I think they should go.
"Was the camp all good while we were away? Did you collect those herbs that we needed? |

Geckokit shook his head—ignoring his brother’s laughter— and pounced on the mossball, landing on it easily enough. He tackled it a bit. Revenge for hitting him in the face.
“I’ll show you, Crocodilekit!” He laughed and batted it back at his brother hard, watching with glee as the ball rolled pass him. He resisted the urge to run after it. There was a reason why he suggested this game after all.
I don’t think there are rules. The kits just bat it around, try to get it pass each other, and run after it.
We can stop for now if you guys don’t want to continue. We can just say the kits are playing for the time being. I’m also busy with housework, so can’t do too much rp’ing today. |
