x - WELCOME - x
Welcome to Meadowclan! this is a claim-a-cat roleplay made using Clangen. if you have never played the game, or are unsure of the mechanics - either watch a playthrough or play the game! Its amazingly fun, and i recommend trying it out. There is tons of good stories out there just based on this game.
Meadowclan is a partner-clan of the claim-a-cat rp Roseclan owned by Boragesky. These two clans will interact with eachother frequently, and will be connected in different ways. This RP is heavily based off of Brownie's Yewclan and Plumclan - so a huge thanks to them, and a thanks to them for giving me amazing advice for starting out.
In this roleplay, the players write short responses between the game's turns, creating a world and deep characters out of the simulation's random events. Moon updates will come twice a week, with new events and responses. Make sure to read all the rules, because this is very different to a regular rp on the forums. Have fun! x - CLAIMING - x
Any cat with the mark ‘open’, can be claimed. As a heads up, this might not be updated every day. It might be a week, or two. So if you are unsure if a cats open, just ask me! I don’t mind. If all cats are claimed, you can join a waiting list, and be notified when a cat is available. However, existing players who lose a cat will be prioritized over new players.
At the start, you may claim one cat, after some weeks of activity, you may then ask to claim another. If I say yes, then you can claim a 2nd cat.
If a unclaimed/unroleplayed cat has a * mark next to their name in the directory, their name can be changed. This mostly applies to kits and apprentices, however a new loner or rogue would also apply to this. Once a name has been changed, it cannot be changed again.
I also have the skills of file editing. This means I can change stuff about cats, such as personality traits and skills. If you have a good activity on the roleplay, and a recent change of your cat doesn’t match your storyline, I can go back and change the personality trait if you want.
Form to claim a cat:
Cat’s name:
Name change:
Description (small paragraph of your personality and traits):
User Tag: x - RULES - x
- Follow all forum rules.
- LGBTQ+ Friendly. Clangen supports this, all cats of any gender will flirt with eachother in game. This means homophobia or transphobia isn’t supported in Clangen, and it sure won’t be tolerated in OOC either.
- For Activity, I expect you to atleast have a response for any major events your cat is in that moon. This could be a 4-8 sentence description, or more if you feel like it! Try responding to other players posts, or chatting to another cat in your post! It makes the rp feel much more welcoming.
- Try and keep OOC distinct. Most stuff should be in the discussion, and if you are speaking OOC in your post, use () or [].
- Try and use 4-8 sentences in your replies. More is better, but just try your best.
- Don’t God-Mode! Don’t control other players cats, and focus on your own cats thoughts, feels, says and does. Try not to be too specific for anyone else’s cats in your post.
- Don’t include too much detail on gore, foul language or death. It will happen, it is warrior cats, but don’t use too much that it makes other people uncomfortable.
x - WARNING - x
Cats will die. This is Clangen, and I can’t stop that. You will follow your cat throughout the game, with twists and turns, and horrible plot points. A random event may occur, and your cat may die on patrol, catch a sickness or die in a main event. When you join, you must accept that your cat will come across hardships, or die in the game. The roleplay will continue, and you can claim another.
Copy this disclaimer into your form when claiming your first cat:
I accept that my cats will eventually die in the course of the game. I understand that I can influence my cats actions, Clangen’s random events will eventually decide my cats fate. |

x - PROMPTS - x
A moon update will come two days a week. This will be every TUESDAY and FRIDAY. The game will progress 1 moon, You will receive an event summary of your cat’s actions during that moon.
A prompt is your take on a random event from clangen on your cat. It will be a starter, and you can describe a scene which I have added in the moon update. What does your cat think? What do they do about it? Feel free to use this time to really build a relationship with your cat. That’s the fun part!
And there is also a response, which is replying to another cat’s prompt. What does your cat do about it? What do they think? Does this change anything about that cat? The cats around them? You can make chain responses, and enjoy a more traditional back and forth roleplay like this.
- - -
What can you use to respond in your prompt? You can respond to;
thoughts, major events, patrol events, relationship pips and an event card.
A cats thought isn’t always important, but it is based off of your cats personality. This can be used to inspire different actions. This is found next to the cats name.
Major events are important things that happen every moon. These could direct one cat, or two, or the full clan! These usually have a large impact. If your cat is part of this, you are expected to address it that moon. This is marked by the Major events on your cat’s moon update.
Unless your cat is injured, sick, grieving or a kit, you will go on a patrol every moon. I will create a summary of that patrol, which you can interact with your patrol mates and link that with your other pips. There will be a patrol leader every moon, which will lead the patrol. This doesn’t have much difference, but feel free to include the responsibility in your response! You can choose to put your cat on a patrol with some other cats with permission, and ask me to do so next moon update. If I have permission from all owners of the cats, I will do so.
Relationship pips are interactions between cats. This could include arguments, conversations, or even flirting. These create relationships, and a good way to make a chained response with another player.
Here’s the new one! Every moon, I will pull an event card. This will be a randomly picked event, in which I have created a generator. This will be like a moon event, but out of the regular Clangen to add something different. If it has superior importance, I will add it into the save files. This could be anything, and I can’t wait to see how this new mechanic plays out. Not every cat will be included in the event card, as it will be random, but feel free to comment on it in your own response.
x - PIPS - x
Relationship pips are gained and lost by:
Relationship events each turn.
Patrolling with another cat (smaller patrol = bigger relationship changes)
Your cats can gain (or lose) relationship points in these categories:
Romantic like
Platonic like
Dislike
Respect
Comfort
Jealousy
Trust
Each cat has a value in each of these categories for every other member of the Clan. Every ten moons, I will give you a more detailed breakdown of your cat's relationships with the rest of the Clan.
Patrols and interactions can also change your cat's skills and traits. These allow your cat to grow and thrive in the game.
x - TOGGLES - x
In the game, there is two toggles you can freely turn on and off. These are; Prevent Kits and Limit Romance.
Prevent Kits is simple. When turned on, your cat will not have or adopt kits. If you do not want your cat to be a parent, use this.
Limit Romance toggles your cats romantic interactions. Your cat will not flirt with others, and won’t accept mate requests. If your cat has a mate, they cannot break up with eachother. x - RULES IN GAME - x
These are the rules in Clangen that are toggled.
- Mass extinction is OFF
Once the Clan has 20 cats, there will be a vote to turn this on.
- Cats CAN have kits with cats that are not their mates.
- Same-sex kits are OFF
But increased same-sex adoption is ON
- Unknown second parent is currently ON!
This setting will be toggled on and off for maximum drama.
- Romantic interaction with former mentors is OFF
- First cousin romances is also OFF
- Leaders will automatically choose a deputy!
- Apprentices will graduate when they gain enough experience.
- Cats can retire from permanent conditions (such as chronic illness or injury)
- Warriors and elders can choose to become mediators. |

x - MEADOWCLAN - x
Welcome to MeadowClan: The Proud and Swift. MeadowClan lives on an open meadow, filled with prey-filled hills and burrows. The only Twolegs in proximity is on the RoseClan border, close to the beach.
MeadowClan was the third of the 4 clans, having separated from CliffClan many moons ago when they allied with RoseClan to teach CliffClan a lesson. They are known for being quite proud of their skills, and their unique shapes. They can take on loners, however they are usually at a disadvantage because of how fast the MeadowClan cats are. However, they are known for taking on stray litters quite often. The current leader, Cavestar, is quite fond of kittens, no matter the background.
MeadowClan prioritises speed first, and battling second. Due to their harsh territory, they have to know how to hunt well. They are a close knit group, with large family lines. One of the largest, the Meadowstar line, is carried through Cavestar and Yewsting through their parent Puddlesnout. This kin took a large hit many moons ago, and have had smaller amounts of cats from the line since. x - LAND - x
These cats live in a small dip in the plains, where a few trees reside and the camp is guarded by hills for the most part. A small pond is to the side, named Cattail Creek, and an underground river can be found.
Landmarks;
-High Ledge: Located above the Leader's Den, where ceremonies and announcements are held. A narrow ledge branches out from the hill, where the leader sits.
The Gorge: a large, bottomless ravine that stretches across the CliffClan border. It has claimed the life’s of many cats due to battles, and the rocks next to it are good for sunning. Currently belongs to MeadowClan.
The Great Willow: A large willow located on a small hill, along with sand and a small pool of water beside it. Climbing training happens here, along with sharpening claws and fishing. Cats who fish are not very respected, and are usually compared to the fish-brains in RoseClan.
The Running Path: A narrow trail running along the back side of camp, a way for apprentices to build up their endurance and leg strength. Lots of rocks and loose soil is kicked up here, from endless upon endless paws thundering along the dirt and sand.
Vigil Hill: Just like the old territory, a mound of dirt and grass, with flowers, sits near the edge of camp, where warriors sit and watch over the camp. New warriors take their vigil here, watching over their clanmates.
The Lazy Hollow: A hidden cavern located in the camp, near the dirtplace tunnel. Only a few cats know of this Hollow, and they use it wisely. It's quiet and seems to relax them; it being very serene.
Cattail Creek: A small creek located near the edge of camp, a log stretching across it. Cat-tails dot the edge, flowers also growing near its edge.
Broken Barn; a burned down, abandoned Twoleg building. It sits on the bottom right of the MeadowClan territory, with it being home to Strike’s rogue group. They usually have lots of fights with MeadowClan, not understanding the word ‘borders’. x - CAMP - x
The camp is a small dip in the large moor, several trees spiraling up to the sky, providing shade and comfort for the long-limbed cats. Flowers and ferns protect them, hiding their scent as well.
x - BORDERS - x
- RoseClan: the Mellow and Logical — Friendly
- CliffClan: the Hot-Headed and Independant — Neutral
- WoodlandClan: the Silent and Lonely — Friendly
- Strike’s Group - Unfriendly
RoseClan sits to the left of MeadowClan, living on a beach seaside. They used to be allies, until the last leader Yarrowstar started a war. Since Cavestar got her nine lives, they have started to rebuild their relationship. A lot of MeadowClan cats make fun of RoseClan for fishing, because cats shouldn’t swim, right?
CliffClan is to the top of MeadowClan, and the two have never gotten along. MeadowClan was once joined with CliffClan, who won’t stop bragging about being the first clan, and since have had a rivalry. They are just past the gorge, and at this point, a single mouse could cause a war. The tensions are high between the two clans.
WoodlandClan has a small border with MeadowClan, claiming the only trees MeadowClan has. The Great Willow sits by here, but WoodlandClan has never threatened to take the land. They are old allies of RoseClan. WoodlandClan has always been quiet, staying to themself. It’s rare that MeadowClan ever finds them on patrol.
Strike is a black and white she-cat who owns a small group of rogues in the bottom part of MeadowClan’s territory. No cat remembers when they came to their land, but they are a great threat. Her cats are known to be ruthless, merciless and cruel. |

masterful storyteller
valuable insight
Cavestar is a long-furred dark grey tabby molly. Growing up with Yewsting, she always seemed troubled. Whether it was wondering how her life would be if her mother was still alive, or not wishing to finish her apprenticeship because she was scared to become a warrior. When meeting Starclan for the first time, she met her mother and Cavepaw knew it wasn’t her fault that she had died, realising she needed to be her own cat for MeadowClan’s sake. She rose to become an amazing warrior, helping those in need and eventually being chosen for deputy by Yarrowstar, unfortunately at the time of the RoseClan war. She became leader when Yarrowstar lost his last life, and since has lost her more compassionate personality. She became more cold, especially with the other clans. She still has a small soft spot for kits, letting any into the clan. She has become mastered at telling stories to such kits, and gives a valuable insight to any cat in need. She wants to keep MeadowClan safe at any cost.

Yewsting is a short-furred silver tom with emerald eyes. His pattern is rosetted, his dapples a darker grey than his main pelt. Yewsting is rather gruff, something that he gained from his many moons of being a healer. He has an impatience for younger cats, not sharing a soft spot for kits like his sister, Cavestar. He is also very sneaky, using this skill when he wants to get out of camp unnoticed. When Yewsting is in camp he is usually in the medicine den, with his sister, or working on camp repairs. He takes great pride in his skill of den building, making many renovations to the medicine den during the time when he had been head medicine cat.

Yewsting
- Is wondering if they could borrow catmint from the other clans
- Herb Gathering - Strange Dream with Fuzzpelt
Yewsting exited the medicine den, shooting a glance at the nursery. Foxkit kept coming in, saying she knew all the names of all the herbs. Surprise, surprise, she didn't. Most warriors didn't even know what most herbs were besides catmint, cobwebs and marigold, and well, that was why they weren't medicine cats.
The thought of catmint pricked his mind. There wasn't a lot to be found on Meadowclan territory, but maybe they could borrow from Woodlandclan, or even Roseclan? Cliffclan would probably refuse, too proud to share any of their herbs. Well it isn't like we need to now. Just thinking for the future!
His glance stealing to the leaders den, where Cavestar now slept. He hadn't shared the same den with her since their nursery days, so he wasn't worried about her missing him in the den alone. He was worried about the responsibility that came with being the leader of Meadowclan. She had been deputy for many moon, yes, but being deputy was much different than being leader. If anything, Yewsting knew more about the position than she did, having spent a lot of time with Yarrowstar before the toms death. In a way Yewsting was luckier than Cavestar. As a medicine cat, he got to see their mother almost every moon he was an apprentice. But she was leader now, and Yewsting couldn't be prouder.
Sighing, Yewsting shot a glance towards the camp exit. He would have liked to leave camp alone, get the herbs he was looking for and be back before sunhigh so he would be able to sort them before the hunting patrol got back, but his sister would likely throw a fit if he left camp alone. Especially since he wanted to go to the Roseclan border. The clans weren't at war anymore, not since Cavestar had risen to power, but tensions were still high.
"Fuzzpelt!" The medicine cat barked, and the light-grey molly looked up from her mouse, looking at him with a startled expression on her face. "Finish your mouse quickly... er please." He added, seeing the expression on the usually playful she-cat's face was a look of worry and unsettlement. The molly was a few seasons older than him, a warrior when he had been a kit, and there was rarely a day when she didn't have a smile on her face and while Yewsting had a reputation for not being very kind to his patients, well she wasn't injured at the moment was she?
Fuzzpelt, as asked, finished her prey quickly, meeting him at the camp exit where he had been waiting. He hadn't seen Cavestar yet, but it was bound to happen. She wasn't tasked with assigning patrols anymore, so she wouldn't be in the clearing every morning and evening. She was probably already out, or maybe still in her den getting some well-deserved sleep.
They set out, Yewsting heading straight for the Roseclan border. There were some good herbs to collect there on Meadowclan's side, goldenrod and ragwort to name a few. If he collected them now then there was a chance they would grow back before leafbare hit, meaning a good collection of herbs for Meadowclan. Newleaf was a relief for Yewsting, many cats got over their sicknesses and herbs were abundant, snaking out of the ground eager for sunshine after the season under the snow.
Being so focused on getting to the border, he hadn't noticed that Fuzzpelt was trailing behind until she mewed something to him that sounded a bit like a squeak. He turned, seeing that Fuzzpelt was a little ways behind, racing to catch up. "Sorry! I-I um..." Fuzzpelt trailed off, and Yewsting gave her a look. "Well get on with it, we're so close to the border."
Fuzzpelt made a gesture for him to go ahead, and she didn't say anything until they reached the stretch of border where the herbs were located. "I- I had a dream last night. I don't know if I was from Starclan but.. but it seemed important." Yewsting raised an eyebrow at Fuzzpelt, urging for her to continue. "Well... it was really dark, and I saw the outline of cats everywhere. They were attacking Meadowclan camp I think. Cats were falling under their paws, and the remaining cats had to flee. The thing is.. I don't think they were Roseclan cats, but who else could they be?"
Yewsting thought for a moment, his tail flicking back and forth as he thought. "It could be an omen about Strike's group of rogues. I believe that it was a warning, not a vision. A dream of something that could happen if the group was left unchecked. Thank you for letting me know. I will make sure to tell Cavestar when I see her again." He dipped his head to the grey molly, and a slight smile crossed her face. "Well, let's get collecting. Just a little bit of the ragwort and goldenrod. They're the yellow clusters there," he flicked his tail, "and there." And with that, the conversation ended. Yewsting made sure to leave a good amount behind while also bringing a good amount back, they did still want some for later in the season!

Foxkit got up at the same time that Yewsting returned from patrol so she went over to see if she could help. “Yewsting can I help after all I know all herb names~” she purred and began listening the herbs… she got 1 right, then rabbitpaw took Foxkit back to the nursery to play with Snailkit. They played moss ball until Rabbitpaw went on patrol. boragesky Dew |

Cavestar - Reminds herself to send extra patrols to the RoseClan border - Hunting Patrol with Briardusk, Mapletrot & Prairiepaw
Cavestar stretched from her nest, the early new-leaf bringing refreshing memories to her. Atleast here, alone in the leaders den, she had no worries. She had no clan that relied on her, or cats to ask more of her. However, she knew that wouldn’t last long. She was leader, and being busy was her job. Maybe she could find time later to spend time with her brother, Yewsting. He was busy with medicine cat duties too. She quickly exited the den, staring at the cloudy sky. She flicked her tail to the morning breeze, looking over MeadowClan. Her long legs itched to run, to hunt. She locked eyes with her deputy, Briardusk. She was about to leave on a hunting patrol with Mapletrot and Prairiepaw. “Briardusk!” She mewed, joining the molly. “I’ll join you.” She gave Mapletrot a quick nod, both warriors were more older and more experienced. Cavestar knew Yarrowstar had reasons for picking her as deputy, but she couldn’t help but wonder what life would be like if Mapletrot or Briardusk were chosen for deputy instead, and eventually leader.
“Of course.” Briardusk nodded to Cavestar, and the patrol trodded onward. Prairiepaw looked up at Cavestar expectantly, the young tom excited for the patrol. “See what you can smell. Before we can run, we must first find prey.” She remembered last moon, in which her and her apprentice had managed to corner a rabbit together. She had never seen Prairiepaw so excited to bring it back to camp. Prairiepaw raised her sienna nose to the air, looking back to Cavestar. “I don’t smell anything.” He snorted, then seemed to blink suddenly, as if coming up with an idea. “Wait!” He mewed, gaining the attention of Mapletrot and Briardusk. “What about going to the hills at the distant part of our territory?” He sensed Cavestar’s confusion, then continued. “Listen, if we stay out of the way of Strike’s barn and her cats, it’s mostly untouched. The ground is higher, and drier, and it should have more prey.”
Cavestar looked at her apprentice with pride. Not so early did apprentices usually have such confidence on a patrol. “I like it. Prairiepaw, lead the way.” The dark grey tabby molly dipped her head to her apprentice, who took the lead with stride. She joined to Mapletrot and Briardusk, raising an eyebrow. “It’s a good idea, I’ll give him that.” She paused, hoping she hadn’t upset the grumpy Briardusk. The molly had been kind to Cavestar since she was a kit, a reason why she chose her as deputy. “Listen, if it doesn’t work, we can go your way. I just think we should let him keep his confidence. He might be right, anyways.” She purred, before catching up with her apprentice. He stalked up the hill, his longer legs helping his ascent. She followed, happy she was a MeadowClan cat. She had no idea how the other clans survived without the openness of the plains.
Before she could even blink, Prairiepaw had already spotted a mouse. He picked up his pace easily, something Cavestar had taught him early. He raced the mouse, before easily picking it up in his jaws. Cavestar looked to Briardusk with contempt, her gaze unwavering, before turning back to her apprentice. “Well done, Prairiepaw! Keep it up like that, you’ll be a warrior in no time.” She purred.
- - -
It was a good omen, and the hunting was successful. The patrol carried home plenty of prey for the rest of the clan, and she purred when she saw Prairiepaw brag about it to Rabbitpaw. The two toms had a good relationship, since they were den-mates. She watched Briardusk go to speak with Fuzzpelt. Cavestar reminded herself of what she needed to speak with about to her deputy. When she was new to the deputy role, Yarrowstar had declared war with Roseclan’s Crabstar. It had been a long war, and something that had declined the population of both clans. Since Cavestar rose to the leadership of MeadowClan, she had tried to rebuild the old relationship with RoseClan and their new leader, Acornstar. It seemed both leaders were sceptical, and both clans are still wary of eachother. I can’t risk the lives of anymore of my clanmates. She needed to send more patrols to the border, to make sure RoseClan weren’t passing the border-marks. She didn’t know how far Acornstar could go, and Cavestar didn’t want to test that.

Yewsting
» Picks burrs from his pelt after a prank from Snailkit and Cavestar
» Gives Prairiepaw a task
Yewsting narrowed his eyes at Cavestar, who was talking with Prairiepaw across camp. He knew she had done this, because who else would be bold enough to snoop into his nest? Only his sister, whom Starclan forbid he was stuck with. But she couldn't have done it alone.. there was no way she would have been able to get into his den and out unnoticed. It was almost impossible, with no holes found in his den when he had checked.
It had been a rather unpleasant surprised when Yewsting had returned to camp last night, exhausted. Of course he hadn't noticed the burrs randomly placed in his nest, with the dark and his long day. A part of him couldn't stop worrying about Fuzzpelt's dream last moon. He knew that they were safe for now, there hadn't been any interactions with Strike's group in the last few moons with newleaf rolling in and each group focused on getting their strength up. They had moved in recently, slightly overlapping with the end of the war with Roseclan, although they hadn't been much of a threat then. But that wasn't the problem right now. The problem was that he was planning on checking his secret garden for catmint, which should be growing soon, but he couldn't, not until he got these burrs out.
"Cavestar!" Yewsting growled, padding toward her and Prairepaw. "I need to have a word with you. Prairepaw, why don't you make sure your and Rabbitpaw's nests are clean." The last words were directed toward Cavestar, and the apprentice scurried away. "Is there a reason I shared a nest last night with a load of burrs in my nest?" His voice was teasing and questioning, an eyebrow raised at his littermate. "Wouldn't have anything to do with you, I would assume?"

“My head hurttts, when will this pounding stop?” She complains to herself and then gets up and goes along to play and try to ignore the pain. She never left the nursery, she was trying to hide from the sun, and then decided to hide from the warriors aswell. Mabletrot just came back to camp after her hunting patrol, she was holding a bit of prey, she is so amazing. “Mabletrot!!!!” She purred out, “your amazing Mabletrot!!!!” She purred loudly, the warrior looks at her funnily. ‘Did I say something wrong?’ Was all she could think about. Then she saw brambletail, he saw her, “Brambletail! Let’s sneak out of camp!” Foxkit purred 🎄tansypool🪿 |

Yewsting
» Herb Gathering - Catmint
Yewsting finally had the opportunity to sneak out of camp, alone. Yesterday had been a no-go, after he had picked the burrs out of his pelt he had gone back to his den and worked on organizing the herb stores. It was as he had expected, the war and leafbare had diminished their catmint stocks. Catmint wasn't a herb that grew regularly on Meadowclan land, but he had a small plot hidden away from the rest of the clan that had a few herbs that were rare to find on their own, like catmint.
Ducking out of camp, Yewsting was happy that he had gotten out alone this time. He might still get an earful from Cavestar, but herb gathering alone usually was more enjoyable than going out with another cat. They asked questions, grumbled, and tried to get him to do something "more fun".Yewsting had been lucky last moon he had assumed, Starclan guiding his decisions and getting him to ask Fuzzpelt to go out with him. Who knows, maybe they wouldn't have gotten that omen if he hadn't invited her.
Now well on his way to the garden, Yewsting was suddenly happy that it wasn't anywhere near to where Strike's group was located. He didn't have the moves to fight them off, and being attacked when he was trying to gather herbs would not be ideal. Granted, he still could, but with greenleaf arriving it was probable that the two groups would leave each other alone.
Yewsting could now see the garden, tiny shoots poking up from the ground as he got closer. Some chervil stems were poking up, as well as some marigold, but the catmint growth wasn't as much as the other two herbs. None of them were ready to be collected, and Yewsting turned around, heading back to camp. What a waste. It was still cool, leafbare still lingering on the moor. He should have known they wouldn't be ready yet, and he had just wasted an entire day for nothing! Maybe in a moon or two....

She laughed remembering the small forg she'd left in the warriors den as a prank, she shook her head pushing herself back to reality. They had to make sure the dog was gone, and when Cavestar had collected her and Briardusk she had felt over the moon. Her striped tail flicked as she breathed in the scent of the feild they noticed an odd figure. A misshapen two-leg? she thought, she snuck up behind it. It was quite tall and smelled lightly of wood and hay that the two-legs harvested... But it was a two-leg, probobly one that dillydallied around with plants. She knew the others were watching and didn't want to back off. She gave a mighty roar and kept onto its back, its legs gave way and it flopped face-forward onto the ground, dust stirring up. A loud thud rand in her ears and she stood for a second her claws digging into the back of the what she presumed dead two-leg, her ears pinned back and she gasped a bit as if she had lost her air. She took a deep breath and turned gracefully looking at her clanmates "Battle won. Meadowclan : 1 Two-legs: 0!" She purred kicking some dry ground at the 'two-leg'.

Cavestar - Thinking about a strange Twoleg object she saw recently - Hunting Patrol with Brambletail & Prairiepaw
- Asks how Rabbitpaw is doing
- Had a spat with Prairiepaw over fresh-kill
Cavestar hadn’t started the day off strong. First, she had managed to catch herself a chubby mouse, happily plopping it on the pile for later. However, she had returned later to find Prairiepaw holding it in his jaws! She had hissed, and spat and now realised how stupid she had been. She was clan leader, for starclan sake! She can’t be showing her clanmates that she will hiss at her own apprentice over prey. She then proceeded to let him take it, and calmed herself down. She visited the apprentices den to find Rabbitpaw, wondering how the younger tom was doing. He was two moons younger than her own apprentice, but seemed to be doing well. Brambletail had reported that the cream tom was one of the best tunnellers of MeadowClan. She snorted, she would like to see that herself.
“How is your training going?” She asked him, the young tom staring at her with half of his jaws full of his prey. He quickly finished it, recovering from his eating. “Great! Brambletail has been showing me the tricks of running, and I can’t wait to catch my first rabbit!” The tom mewed excitedly. Cavestar purred, and nodded. “I’ll make sure to ask Briardusk to send you on a hunting patrol, I’m sure you would do great.” The leader mewed, before leaving the den. While alone, she remembered a strange Twoleg object she had seen. It had been grey, with large jaws like a beast. She shuddered thinking of what it might of been used for.
- - -
She leaded the patrol, with the two younger toms. Brambletail and Prairiepaw. She had to forgive her apprentice, and what better way than to hunt? “Look! A burrow!” She heard from Prairiepaw, the rosette apprentice pointing to a dug up hole in the ground. Cavestar and Brambletail flanked him, but the leader couldn’t see inside. “There’s no way to see what’s down there.” Cavestar reported, and Brambletail nodded. “It’s no use testing our luck. Prairiepaw, stay away from it.” The tom mewed, and the patrol headed away from the burrow. Maybe they would find something else.

Yewsting
» Thinking about taking on a new apprentice
» Settles near Snailkit to eat their fresh-kill as a sign of forgiveness (++)
» Herb Gathering - Vision
Yewsting knew that he probably should take on a new apprentice. He was still a younger medicine cat in the long run, and even if he didn't like the idea of a younger cat in the den, it would have to be sooner rather than later. And he knew that training up a cat now while he still had an ounce of patience would be better later down the road, when he was old and grumpy. Well, grumpier than he was now.
His belly grumbled, and Yewsting left the den, heading toward the fresh-kill pile. Snailkit had just hauled their own prey out of the pile, a small mouse, and he settled down to eat it. That's right, the kit is almost an apprentice. And the same kit that had played a prank on him last moon. But if one of the kits in the clan currently were to be his apprentice, he would prefer it to be Snailkit. Foxkit just had too much energy for Yewsting to handle, and to be fully honest, he didn't like the ginger kit all too much.
Grabbing his own prey, Yewsting settled down near Snailkit, not too close but not far. He could have brought the prey back to his den, or sat further away, but he didn't. He was putting trust that the kit wouldn't try and steal the prey from under his nose. A sign of forgiveness, in a Yewsting way. If Snailkit does try anything though, I won't hesitate to tell Cavestar to delay his apprentice ceremony! Ha!
---
Yewsting licked his lips, starting to stand when a tan blur appeared in front of him, the shape of Rabbitpaw springing into his sight. He was shocked into silence, at least long enough for Rabbitpaw to gush out a few words before Yewsting could. "I heard you were looking for some cat to patrol with you and I was wondering if I could go?" The question surprised Yewsting, because when was there ever a time that an apprentice wanted to go herb gathering instead of battle training with their mentor? "... Sure. Let's go."
Rabbitpaw looked slightly surprised to have been accepted so soon, but didn't complain, meeting Yewsting's own stride quickly as they exited camp. "Does Brambletail know you're going out with me?" He wasn't going to turn around now, so if Rabbitpaw wanted to go back or deal with the consequences if he hadn't, well then Rabbitpaw could go ahead and do that. It wasn't Yewsting's responsibly to deal with that. "Yes." Again, Yewsting was surprised. Rabbitpaw was young, the youngest apprentice at the moment, but he seemed responsible enough.
The pair didn't say anything for a bit, Yewsting keeping his eye out for herbs and Rabbitpaw nervously glancing in Yewsting's direction before turning his gaze elsewhere. Finally, the young tom made up his mind and said something. "I've been having dreams." He blurted. Yewsting turned his gaze from herb searching to Rabbitpaw, and the apprentice stood taller under his gaze. "Please, go on."
The apprentice took a deep breath then launched into his story. "They started a few moons ago, and I told Brambletail about them during training, but I'm still having them! To be honest, they are kind of scaring me. When I dream, I see these... shapes. They're not cats, and they change constantly. Sometimes they're blurs, sometimes they're giant flames, thorns, a lot of water. Do you... do you think you know what they mean?"
Yewsting narrowed his eyes, pausing for a few moments before answering. "I can't say that I do. It is without a doubt that these are visions, but their meaning isn't quite clear... yet. I will think on it, and it would be wise if we both keep it in mind. Please come to me if anything becomes clearer, understand?" Rabbitpaw nodded, averting his eyes. "I will. Um, thanks, Yewsting. For letting me come."
