Quest for a Camp

[Undertaker]

Dawnstripe's paws were killing her, she had lost count how many treelengths she had trekked to find a suitable new camp for the clan, dragging everyone with her. She had heard several complaints and whines that made her want to stop walking completely and tell them to find their own damn camp.

Dawnstripe was going straight for lives after the camp was situated, she could act more freely once these rats knew who was in charge and that StarClan accepted her. Having pushed a bit into the outskirts, Dawnstripe set her mother's body down and padded forward where the ground dropped straight down into a gorge. The soft ground of the forest turned into sharp pebbles, uncomfortable but no worse than pine needles stabbing into your paws.

She padded to the edge of the cliffside, Dawnstripe could make out different rock structures down below and a trail that led into the gorge, a bit narrow for a broad ShadowClan cat, but she suspects that an average cat could walk down in pair.

"Wait here." She ordered the incoming cats, padding over to circle around the cliffside and reach the trail. She carefully climbed down the steep cliff, muscles tense as she heard pebbles knock together underneath her paws. She pressed close to the wall as she moved. It would be quite dangerous to fall from this height, Dawnstripe imaging a cat plummeting down below, falling in a mess of tangled limb and blood.

'Ya should have had someone gone ahead of ya, could of pushed them off.'

Madness' high pitched voice cackled like it had told Dawnstripe the funniest of jokes. With no rebuttal from Sanity, Dawnstripe assumed she could push cats off the side later.

Reaching the bottom, she was surprised with how cool the ground was, smoother. There were a few bushes and patches of grass, but not much undergrowth at all, a big change from the trees they once slumbered underneath. A small stream cut through and out of sight into the crack in the cliffside. There were some small caves, cool inside with large sturdy stone walls, spacious, and a sandy floor. Perfect shelter from the weather.

"Come down here." Dawnstripe yowl to her clan, fur prickling when an echo of her voice bounced back at her a few times before fading away. Living in a gorge was going to take some getting used. As Dawnstripe waited for the cats to climb down the trail, she looked around smiling to herself when she found a strange rock formation. There was a big space underneath that could be a den, ignoring it, Dawnstripe took to jumping on top of the rock, walking up the base and to the pointed tip, taking a seat. It wasn't exactly in the center, but high enough for her address the clan.

This was going to be hers, but what should she call it. Recalling something her mother said about ShadowClan, she decided to with that. This was going to be Dawnstripe's Priderock.

"Looking around and figure out who's den is going to be whose." Dawnstripe ordered, once most of the clan had clambered down. "This will be ShadowClan's new camp."

Chickadeekit was tired from the hike and plopped down, breathing heavily.

[gs29513]

Be careful Littlepaw! Doeflame called, sliding down the treacherous slope, and taking a sigh of relief as she reached the ground. At Dawnstripe's instructions, she decided they probably needed some moss, and padded over towards the high rock which the leader stood upon. A bit nervously, she mewed Would you like me to take some cats out to collect moss? she asked, praying it sounded intelligent, and not stupid. Because that was the LAST thing she needed Dawnstripe thinking of her. Undertaker
---------------
Slipping down, Shrewpaw looked around, a bit apprehensively. It was......big, and loud. When Dawnstripe, Dawnstar, whichever told them to get dens, he looked around. All the caves looked big, but..........which one should the apprentices sleep in? Probably he should just let the warriors decide.

[Exis]

Blackhaze looked around, the nursery would need to be done soon. He quickly found a suitable cave with a small but of water trickling by the entrance. “Shrewpaw! Come help me with the nursery!” He called. Shrew needed to learn what their priorities were.

[gs29513]

Coming! Shrewpaw chirped, bounding over towards Blackhaze. Arriving, he mewed But......we don't have any moss. Should.......I go get some? Exis

[Exis]

Blackhaze nodded, “Make sure it’s dry. While your out of you want to hunt a bit I won’t stop you, we need fur and feathers to make this nice for the kits.” He mewed before padding into the cave. It was cool inside, almost clean smelling. He looked around and decided to dig little hallows to fill in with the moss, it would make it much comfier. He padded to the end of the den and started digging out the circular holes.

Rumblepaw trotted close behind Dawnstripe, almost on her heels, and slithered along the narrow ledge as she gave the order for them to follow. He made a flying leap from the slanted ledge to the bottom of the gorge, and, mimicking Dawnstripe, yelled, "ECHO!" loud enough for it to come bouncing off the stone walls back to him.Echo, -cho, -o!

Rumblepaw grinned, and then picked himself up and hurried over to a small cave in the wall. This would make a good apprentices' den, yes it would! He darted inside and began to scrape at the floor, trying to carve hollows into the sand-like substance.

Leopardkit carefully picked her way down the cliff and took a seat near the gorge wall, drawing her tail closely around her paws. There wasn't really any way that she could help, so she'd rather just... stay out of the way.

[ Exis ]

Bearstrike paused where the ledge met the gorge's rocky floor, a grimace over his features. Where they going to have to pick their way down the cliffside every time they wanted inside the camp, and the other way each time they wanted out? It was impractical, not to mention incredibly dangerous. With a huff, he stalked over to where Blackhaze was. "Tell me what to do 'n I'll get on it," he muttered.

[Exis]

Blackhaze stopped what he was doing to size the newcomer up before nodded, “I wanted to dig Some holes to fill with the moss. It would make for softer and somewhat deeper dens for the queens and kits. They way everyone is comfortable and the kits can’t sneak away as easy.” He mewed.

He looked at the hole he’d dug, it was a tail length deep and A tail length and a half wide. Plenty of room. If he saw that it wasn’t deep enough he’d dig deeper, and if any queen wanted their special well then it would be done.

[open for helpers!]
Finpaw carefully picked his way down the steep slope into the gorge, filing in after the others who had come with Dawnstripe. The ground beneath his paws at the bottom felt cool, hard, made with a lot more stone than the grass he’d grown up used to. Everyone’s voices echoed somewhat across the cliff walls - perhaps they’d need to do something about that, to make sure they couldn’t be heard well beyond the borders of their new camp? - and the unfamiliar earthy scent of the place left him a little dizzy from all the new sensations.

Dawnstripe’s order to search for new dens brought Finpaw back to himself. With a vigorous shake of his head, he collected himself enough to focus on the next task, in time to notice Rumblepaw dart away to a cave near the base of the cliffside. Following behind the other apprentice, Finpaw ducked his head inside and gave it a quick look-around. It certainly did look cozy enough to be a den already, it just needed some nests and maybe something to help warm it up. Rumblepaw picked well!

“Need any help?” Finpaw offered with a friendly smile. Only briefly waiting for a response, he hopped the rest of the way into the would-be den and began digging another hollow out of the sand, at the opposite corner from Rumblepaw’s.

[gs29513]

With a nod, Shrewpaw bounded off, soon finding an old tree, moss encasing it's roots and trunk. With deft claws, he sliced off some swaths, rolling them into bundles after checking to make sure they were dry. Remembering he was supposed to find feathers, he looked around, but none were forthcoming. However, he could scent a thrush, and figured it would be as good a source of them as any. Slinking forward, he pounced, biting it's neck and killing it. Maybe......more? The clan DID need a fair amount of fresh-kill, with so many cats. Scenting the air, he padded deeper into the woods, finally spotting a fat pigeon gobbling up some seeds. The fat bird was unaware as he leaped, only coming to it's senses as he was biting down on it's neck. Carrying it and the thrush, as well as a roll of moss under his chin, he was a bit of a strange sight as he made his way back to camp. Dropping the prey, he mewed I got some stuff! There's some more moss, I just couldn't carry it. he mewed, still a bit proud of himself. Exis

[ Drago0n, Finpaw ]

Rumblepaw blinked at Chickadeekit and Finpaw as they came up beside him, and offered them a small smile. "Sure thing. You finish digging those divots, I'll go grab some moss and things and be right back." He vanished out of the cave.

He returned a few minutes later with large clumps of moss clamped in his mouth and tucked beneath his chin. Several feathers were also sticking out from between his teeth. He dropped the materials on the ground and separated them into their own piles.

"Here you go. Scrape out some of the rock-sand stuff and fill it with moss, and then decorate that with feathers." He set to work, stuffing the moss into the shallow spot he'd scraped out.

----------

Bearstrike nodded. "Should I go grab some moss 'n stuff, 'r just stay here 'n dig fer right now?" Either way worked, really, but he found himself hoping Blackhaze would suggest the latter. That way, Bearstrike could keep an eye on him. Just by being here as the leader of a group that was probably very prepared to oppose Dawnstripe was putting him in danger. It was Bearstrike's job to make sure he was safe, and the rest of the group. Not officially, of course - it was more of a self-appointed job. But it was a job all the same, and one he was determined to take seriously.

~~Goldenfeather~~

Ugh. StarClan, this was so...damn cruel. She prodded Crowskip as they moved forward. It was good she spoke up. To be honest, now...she'd learned. The 'Ice' family was basically evil. Dawnstripe couldn't be leader. She couldn't live in...well, ShadowClan. It would probably be, like, theDawn Syndicate.

Twice the torture, triple the evil.

"Move, prisoner," Goldenfeather ordered. "Keep going. Help me build your...prison and then-" Here she paused. Lowered her voice to a whisper. Made sure no one-absoulutely no one was listening.

"We'll rebel."

"Okay!" Chickadeekit said as she continued scraping the ground with her paws. After she had made a shallow dent in the ground, she stuffed it with moss and put some feathers around the edge. "Is that good?"

[~Berry~]

Sunpaw followed.
This really does look nice.

Swiftkit and Silkykit stayed with the other kits.

[Greenleap]

Raccoon kit flopped down, tried from all the walking. He had gotten a thorn in his paw, but had pulled it out. He licked his pad a bit, then sat up.

[Exis]

Blackhaze looked from Shrewpaw to Bearstrike for a moment before coming up with an idea. “Bearstrike you stay here with me. Shrewpaw you take my boy Raccoonkit with you to help you get more moss, maybe show him a bit of hunting or how to get moss, can you handle that?” he asked the young apprentice. He knew he could trust Shrewpaw to watch after Raccoonkit, he was more so giving him a way today no.

He turned his head slightly to look at Bearstrike, the warrior had never seemed interested in being around Blackhaze before so it was stars he that he was here now to help him. The small half spheres in the ground wouldn’t finish themselves though so he’d ponder this discovery later when he was t so preoccupied.

They swarm around him like bees to honey, it was sad, but Dawnstripe might have to prepare a little accident for her former apprentice. She knew that it would have to happen after the two traitors tried to kill her so he could be leader. Dawnstripe wondered how many of these weeds she'd have to pluck before the clan got the picture that she wasn't going anywhere. They could scheme and plot against her all they wanted. They'd fail.

Dawnstripe wasn't even going to try and fool herself, the cats hated her every single one of them. None of them was going to give her chance. Seeing cats try and assassinate her right after Icestar's death... they made it clear they didn't want her when they sat there and watched. Dawnstripe didn't care what they did or said to try and earn her trust, none of these rats would get it. They were just trying to get rid of her. She wouldn't allow it. They were right to be afraid, very afraid.

"Blackhaze clearly had the den preparation handled, Doeflame." The leader meowed when one cat actually came up to ask her what should be getting done. "Find some cats and take them out on a patrol. I need this area secured." She ordered, lashing her tail behind her and trying to ignore her madness as it screamed a variety of ideas at her.

"Blackhaze, do not send kits and apprentices out of the camp." Dawnstripe snarled as she leaped down from the rock. He hadn't said anything about going out of camp, but Dawnstripe simple concluded that what he was inferring too.

"Give them something simple to do here. Bearstike can handle fetching moss." Dawnstripe wasn't snapping at him because cats where clustering around him, she honestly thought it was stupid to send out a kit and apprentice out into strange territory alone. On top of that, kits weren't allowed out of the camp. If they found some moss on the rocks in the gorge then Dawnstripe could careless.

Ebonyfang tracked behind his clanmates. It felt like they had aalked for hours. The medicine cat apprentice searched around to try and find his mentor. He hoped she was abke to catch up to them.

Doetuft had somewhat recovered after her stunt during the meeting and the blind molly had taken her time to follow the rest of the clan, steps quiet and calculated as she slowly trudged on. And down a ravine of all things they went. What a curse to blind, one misstep and she would be sent tumbling off the ledge and down to what waited for her - which was more like the abyss and not just the risk of a broken leg or spine. Slowly, more slow than her sighted clanmates who could actually see where they were going, she made her way down, sliding her paws instead of lifting them, making sure there were always secure ground underneath her feet. She had no interest to go tumbling off into the nothingness that was death and was therefore taking her time. Eventually, she presumed, going up and down this path would be second nature, like walking through a forest full of thorns without getting them in her pads was. But like everything, it would take time. Nevertheless, they had to now make out dens and well, what a hopeless effort it was. Doetuft did feel like this spot was a bit more secure but if they were going to piss off all the other clans again, why did they even bother rebuilding. She was being pessimistic she knew that and it was just a brief thought before the molly flickered her ears picking out bits of conversations here and there. Where Flintspirit, Beastspark, Irisflame or Talonstone was she didn't know but she presumed they would be in the clutter of cats somewhere. It didn't matter now though, what mattered was setting up these dens so at least someone had a place to shelter. It seemed others were already building a nursery and so she scanned to see if anyone was up for building the apprentice's den. Despite it not being 'vital', like an elder's den she knew how miserable it was as a young cat to be without a shelter. She knew that... too well.

[Madelaine]

Redbristle stopped alongside his clanmates, keeping a distance fron everyone. He didn't really care about most things. This was one of the times he didn't care. If it had plenty of shelter and enough prey he was fine with any kind of new home. He lashed his redish ginger tail and hlanced around at his clanmates.

[Wolfgirl8]

Marigoldpaw had loyally followed Dawnstar to the gorge/valley. The golden furred apprentice feared nothing(or at least that's what she told herself) but how...far down the bottom of the gorge was made Marigoldpaw a little....scarred no...nervous. When Dawnstar told Shadowclan to join her down their Marigoldpaw took a small gulp. Heights yay! Ignoring her "nervousness" the golden furred apprentice slowly made her way down to Dawnstar. Hmmm not a bad camp! Pretty cool looking actually! Spotting a couple cats near a den she trotted over. Hmm looks like they were already doing good but eh Marigodpaw would help anyway. "Need any help with anything?" The golden furred apprentice asked the ground beneath her feeling odd on her paw pads.

The molly followed her clanmates, ears swiveled forwards. As her clanmates sectioned themselves off she stood still for a moment before turning on her heels and padding towards Dawnstripe. "Orders?" she asked. She still didn't have an opinion on their new leader. The laughing at Icestar's death...that sent her off but, frankly, they were getting more things done. Already finding a new home.

[MagicCat99]

Russetpatch leaped down into the gorge, careful to not go down in one jump but to take a few leaps. When she landed, she looked around for possible dens.

Cottonpaw slowly descended into the gorge. He went slowly, tired from walking so much. Why isn't there just an apprentice den ready to go?

[Dark Flame]

Owlriddle sat down, tired. His paws were aching, and his face was bent in worry. He turned to the cats around him, shaking.

[ Open! ]


Hogsnout made his way down the rocky outcrop with a fair amount of ease, wide paws and crooked claws meant for easy grip into the mud that hid beneath the scattered pebbles. Though he could see others and their struggle to keep upright or to not go flailing down the side of the gorge. He wondered exactly how Dawnstripe expected Queens laden with kits, young ones and elders to make it down. Or perhaps her aim was to kill most of them off before anybody got any sense to rebel. Not that he cared, he was fed, offered a den and offered protection not one cat could provide. Whoever was in leadership as long as they didn’t tangle with those things was free to do as they pleased. Though a little hell raising from time to time wasn’t too frowned upon.

Seeing as cats scattered to examine the rock dens and their sandy underlay he couldn’t help but stand for a moment, envisioning exactly how homey, all sarcasm included, could actually become. It was a rocky dusty little pit. If cats were to spill over the sides for an ambush they’d have nowhere to run but up. They’d be met with claws straight to the face.

The senior warrior gave an unamused flick of his tail blinking out of his thoughts of bloodshed, he’d get back to that at some point. For now he’d slink into the background and work towards getting dens situated. Seeing as a majority of the warriors were gathered around a decently sized den he made his way over. There wasn’t actually much to do considering the den itself was made of stone. It was fortified enough. He turned blinking up through harsh sunlight at Dawnstripe.

“Do you suppose moss and bedding would be our next move? Considering.. the dens are stone” his demeanour wasn’t condescending, he’d be afraid if the maniac launched herself in a full psychotic break and slashed his throat right then and there. He doubted her mental stability and sanity and wouldn’t take any kind of gamble with his usually un delighted tone of voice.

Nevermind, it seemed like the whole thing was being handled by Bearstrike. Perhaps he’d head out on his own and scout the area. It didn’t seem too promising in the first place, perhaps Dawn was just too far off her rocker. “Forget that” he murmured passing by the leader with quick steps and not caring to look her in the eyes as he did. Then he began the climb right back up the side.

Great.

Blackhaze made sure the fur on his neck was lying flat before turning to Dawnstripe, “Sorry Dawnstar, I didn’t mean for it to seem as though I was giving Shrewpaw permission to take Raccoonkit out of camp. There’s still some prey in these caves, that’s what I had been talking about. I needed a bigger cat to help me dig out these holes. I apologize for getting so ahead of myself, I just know you well enough to know you don’t like stupid questions.” Blackhaze mewed to his former mentor. Maybe this could work. What do you mean she’s crazy. Ya sure but... but maybe so are you. So you’re saying I’m like her? Yes.

“I’ll be sure to ask before I do next time.” He mewed before turning to the others. “You heard your leader!” He barked, “Lwts get to work. Shrewpaw you help me dig out these holes. Raccoonkit you find some moss in camp. Bearstrike while your out grab some feathers and fur. We’re all hungry.” He mewed hoping him giving that extra order wasn’t out of line. Blackhaze, Yes? Be her friend. How so? Find someone else to lead the cult, if you happen to get a promotion. Dont push your luck. right.

Owlfeather had carefully picked her way down the rocky slope, dreading having to do that every time she wanted to leave camp now. Sure, it was very secure, but...the elder's aching bones protested every step of the way. Once she was down, she approached Ebonyfang.

"Why don't I help you out with the medicine den?" She asked her grandkit. "It looks like the nursery and apprentice's den are underway already, and I'm sure the warriors will be chipping away at theirs soon as well. Which of these caverns looks most appealing? Maybe one with running water inside? There is a stream through here."

[gs29513]

Oh. She hadn't noticed that. With a bit of an embarassed nod, Doeflame turned away, and looking around called out to a couple of warriors who seemed to have nothing to do at the moment. Thornscratch, Lynxdusk, and maybe........Redbristle! Come on over. Dawnstar want's us to go out on patrol she called, waving her tail in case they couldn't see her. She would wait for them all to show up, and then head out. @Siren Bliss Lynxpaw

As Blackhaze got yelled at, and eveything got a little confusing, Shrewpaw finally heard with clarity to go get moss from the rocks around here. With a nod, he bounded off, returning after a bit with a swath he had found in one of the tiny caves. Exis

She'd at least found one who seemed to be willing to help out or somewhat. "Come... on," she mumbled to Thornscratch. Hopefully the other molly would be willing to help on the apprentice den. Although they were no longer apprentices there was some need to help out the youngsters and well, the other warriors could build the larger extensive den. Curling her tail around the other cat she slowly picked her way past the cats working on the nursery, and towards were a sole tree were standing. "This could work as a base could it not?

Be her friend. How so? Find someone else to lead the cult, if you happen to get a promotion. Dont push your luck. right.

"moss, ok!" He mewed, padding over to some rocks. He clawed at the moss, getting it loose enough to take it off. He grabbed it and tugged at it. Maybe it was still a bit stuck? He tugged at it more. Eventually it came loose, but Raccoonkit was pulling with so much force that he got launched backwards. "Oof!" He mewed, hitting the ground. he got up and shook himself off. He grabbed the moss and put it on the ground so that he could make a small pile.

Thornscratch couldn't help but let out a hiss as a cat nearly walked into her. She paused as they spoke but decided to follow. It didn't matter who she was working with. She needed to help the clan. The molly followed ... Doetuft, was it? Yes. She followed the blind warrior to a lone tree. "I'm sure we could...figure out something" the tabby nodded, agreeing. It could work.

Lynxdusk padded over to Doeflame, Thornscratch somewhere else, probably busy. The tabby tom followed the molly out of camp. A patrol. Well he was helping somehow.

Ebonyfang listened to his grandmothers suggestions on which den to use. He was going to respond when Darkflower took it upon herself to choose a den. He turned to her. "Thanks for the input, but I think this cave would be better. Like Owlfeather said there's a stream running though it which would be good for injured cats to wash their wounds when coming into the den.", he meowed. The medicine cat apprentice appreciated the warriors input. "You can still help cleaning this one out.", he meowed. Ebonyfang padded into the den. It was just perfect. There was even a nice dip in the earth which was good for storing herbs

[Moon Lily]

[ punkscape Handsome Lion Undertaker Bramblefire01 ]

Irisflame had trailed behind, slowed down by both the large bundles of herbs she clutched and her lame foot. The slippery oak leaves continued to struggle out of her maw which made the journey even more difficult. the medicine cat groaned in frustration. This trip was hardly necessary. They already had a camp. The one thing she had not been able to grasp was the sudden relocation. Why had they so quickly changed from one camp to the next, and then the next? It was hardly an easy trip for some of them. Perhaps Dawnstar had wanted to be rid of the nostalgia and clinging memories- but if this was the case, why had she lugged the dead body of her mother along with her? Questions accumulated in her buzzing mind, only stopped when a loose rock tripped her up as she scaled the cliff face. Her pelt bristled wildly. Thank the stars that she hadn't lost any herb bundles as she'd lost her footing. The fragile plants were vital, especially since she didn't know anything about the vegetation in this part of the territory. Recovering as fast as her quivering pelt would allow, she lugged herself across the long stretch of rock.

I survived hell. I'm surprised I haven't gotten a few claps on the back, she grumbled silently as she tottered into camp. Not falling off a rock face was a rather large achievement. The instant calamity of frustrated growls, a chorus of voices, and a few whiny drama queens grabbed at her ears, demanding attention. She had no time to spare. They would have to get this place looking decent before she could chuck her herbs in a den and call it a day. Deep blue orbs flickering with amusement as she spotted Ebonyfang, she made her way over to when the tom was debating with two she-cats- one of which was his grandmother- about what den the herb-spitters should move into. The older she-cat butted into the conversation with a weary smile.
"So long as there's a housewarming, I'm fine with whatever. Oh! Is that a private river I see?" She mewed warmly, tone punched with good humor, "Yep. I call dibs on this one, Ice-clone."
She turned to mod in greeting to the new she-cat, one she did not recognize. But then again, she wasn't a very social cat herself.

[ Shadowpaw234 ChillCat Aspenblaze ]

Irisflame blinked in mild surprise as the mauled dog-attack victim ripped open heavy eyes. She looked frightened, confused. As you would be. It was almost as though the warrior had awoken from a bad dream of sorts. The panicked breathing patterns were a familiar sight. Brow furrowing in mild concern, she allowed the others to explain Icestar's death. She refused to speak of it. Besides, it was better that she was reminded by her friends...not some random, cranky herb-spitter. Clearing her throat, the blue-grey she nodded to the dark-furred molly. It wasn't every day half your face was ripped off by a dog.
"I'm gonna be honest. It's pretty bad, missy. Pretty bad." She explained, her gaze narrowing in pity. She know the feeling of pity was a disgusting one. She had often been yelled at for offering up a glimpse of it. But she had to go out on a limb here. She'd never dealt with something like this before. Baby steps. Baby steps, Blueberry.
"You better tell Dawnstar about it, or you'll be in deep trouble." She warned, offering a sincere nod in the direction of the uninjured pair. If there were dogs on the territory that could cause such damage, she could not imagine how big of a problem they would be if their existence was unknown by the leader.
"She'll be fine. Let me have a look at her."

[ChillCat]

Shadowpaw234 Moon Lily Ashpenblaze

Scorchstrike was about to cry. Half her face was gone, Icestar was dead, they were in a completely different place than before, and apparently Dawnstar was leader. This was all a bit too much for her to process right now. "No one told Ice-Dawnstar about the dog?" she croaked. "It was huge, bigger than any dog I've seen. It was black and brown, at least as long as four cats and as tall as three. I don't want anyone else to get hurt doing anything about it. If you go up against it with jut claws and teeth, cats are going to die. I got lucky."

Owlfeather nodded her head respectfully as Irisflame entered the scene, standing aside to let her survey the new den and add her approval. The elder purred with pride when both medicine cats made note of her discovery.
"Now I'm not sure I'm qualified to help you organize any herbs, but I can surely get to work on nests for the two of you," She suggested. "You just tell me where you want 'em and I'll get things set up." The soft floors of the caves made for easy digging, as she'd seen other cats already doing for nests. A nice divot in the ground, lined with moss and feathers, sounded dreamily comfortable to the elder. She wanted to be sure these two had a nice place to rest, as they'd surely have their work cut out for them with, well, literally everything else.

Okay. She had a crew to help her out. They needed to build the structure of the den. She was apparently in charge? Not that it was bad or that she didn't want to she just found it strange. Her and Thornscratch had been made warriors the same meeting as well, although Doetuft did suspect she was older than the other molly. There was what seemed like a cave by the tree and abandoning ideas of using the tree she moved forward to stick her head inside the cave. It seemed secure and dry enough and all they would need would be bedding and maybe some brambles or something around the entrance to make the already defensible terrain even better. "Ashpenblaze.. could you... go gather... some brambles?" she questioned at the other warrior who it seemed had come up and willing to help. "Thornscratch... we can go looking... for moss." Well she wouldn't be doing the looking but rather feeling.

"Ashpenblaze can you tell Dawnstar about that?" Springsong replied "I can go find this dog and make sure it's dead."

Seeing as only Lynxdusk had come over, Doeflame decided to just........roll with it. Maybe..........there was someone else who could come? Gazing around, she didn't really see anyone not busy, so with a wave of her tail called Alright, let's go. before turning and heading out. Lynxpaw

[RedHead]

"Why so far away?" Lightbubble was complaining as he followed the rest of Shadowclan, padding close to the edge of the wall as they all made their way down into the gorge.
This was..... terrible. Tiny little rocks everywhere that would get caught in his fur, stone, roughness, rocks.... wHERE WERE THE TREES AND THE GRASS AND THE SOFTNESSS??
Lightbubble wanted to flop on the floor and start crying, this was like his worst nightmare. But no way was he getting those little pebbles anywhere near his fur. Having them all over his paws was enough for him.

As all of his clanmates started going about, trying to find a way to help, Lightbubble just stared around with a pout. No way was he going to get his paws messy helping make a camp in a place that was so poorly designed. Why did they leave a perfectly good camp to go and find a new, stony terrible camp?
But as he stood there, his poor legs getting more tired with each passing heartbeat, Lightbubble realized that maybe Dawnstripe did have some sense in her. Having a new camp would make it harder for other clans to find them and raid them again, that had been happening far too often. Plus this camp wasn't full of blood stains and torn down dens. It seemed solid and sturdy.
Plus, glancing back over at the pathway that led into the gorge, Lightbubble noticed he could use that to his advantage if somebody was every chasing him and trying to soil his perfect pelt. If he got super good at climbing up and down it, then he could easily trick another cat into thinking they could do the same and ooops, bye bye dumbwhisker.

Padding further into the gorge, Lightbubble turned his head back around and eyed the large rock formation near the edge. He'd seen Dawnstripe jump atop of it, but now she was down and dealing with other things. Narrowing his eyes, Lightbubble mused over his thoughts for a moment. If he went on the rock he would avoid this stupid stony ground and being near any of his stinky clanmates, but could also most likely get ripped apart by Dawnstripe due to any sort of disrespect she took it as.
And because his sense of self-preservation was far too high, Lightbubble abandoned the idea of going up there. Without permission at least. Maybe he could play buddy buddy with Dawnstripe and get permission to sit and sun himself on her little rock. Glancing over to her, Lightbubble narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to think of the best way he could possibly convince her to let him.

Freezepaw yawned, blinking her large golden eyes as she tried to decide what to help with. Scorchpaw was still intently following her, looking ragged and tired and a little depressed. Probably not good. But she was not a cat that could help heal those things, so she was simply letting him be clingy, hoping that somehow that was going to help. In some way. It probably wasn't but.... whatever.
Spotting Doetuft speaking with two other cats, Freezepaw mulled over avoiding an interaction before deciding to go for it. Doetuft wasn't that bad, a little on the wimpy side but, at least she wasn't annoying like most of the cats in Shadowclan. She seemed to have some sense in her.
Padding over, Scorchpaw in tow, Freezepaw spoke as she neared the blind she-cat. "What den are you doing?" She asked, looking towards the den the three stood near. The stony walls were sturdy and there was a tree with lower hanging branches that provided more shade outside the den, as well as extra shelter. The den was smaller but seemed to be able to be good use for something.

Scorchpaw's tail flicked ever so slightly as he followed Freezepaw around, ears flattened and not quite listening to anything said. He was far too tired and a little too overwhelmed, and the ginger tomcat didn't know how to handle it. Blackhaze's comment had really thrown him off, and he felt bad for yelling but he also.... felt a little proud. Freezepaw had given him a surprised glance when he'd yowled.... and it felt.... good to know she'd possibly been impressed or approving or even proud herself for what he'd done. It was a different expression than the normal boring or disgusted one she'd been giving him lately. And Scorchpaw wanted to hold onto that. He wanted to take that and run with it. Freezepaw was his only solace now, as she had been before. Because this making friends thing? It had not gone down well for Scorchpaw at all. So he'd just stick with Freezepaw. She had always been there, whether as a positive or a negative influence, he didn't care. All he cared about was that she was there consistently.

Flintspirit was tired. So much had happened, and while he never really got much sleep anyways, this was a little over extensive. He could only imagine what some of the other cats were feeling like, especially some of the younger ones. He wanted to find Doetuft and Beastspark, but both seemed to be lost within the throng of cats slowly trying to get things done. He knew that most probably wouldn't be able to sleep until the dens were done, Flintspirit knew he wouldn't be able to, so he figured the best thing to do would be to help out. He knew he wasn't actually officially part of Shadowclan still, Beastspark had been demoted and Icestar had been killed before she could... solidify that... so Flintspirit was a bit on edge. Anxiously awaiting for Dawnstripe to pad up to him and tell him to get out. He wouldn't put it past her.

Helping with dens.... he could do that though, right? Flintspirit got to his paws, giving a small stretch before walking over to a cat he knew he didn't know. "Hey, what den are you working on right now?" He asked, tilting his head in question. He'd offer his help to her and whatever others she was working with. Socializing and helping at the same time, Flintspirit was trying to be on top of it today. Even if he was ridiculously tired.

Her feet aching as well as her back reaping with pain she sat down to get a little rest, looking about around herself Venompaw notices that almost everyone is trying to help out in some way. Hopping up onto her feet she scanned the area to see if someone needed some help. The medicine cats? No, Owlfeather is helping them. Warriors Den? No some cats were already working on that...she felt completely useless

"Does anybody need help?" Venompaw said managing to scrap the words out of her dry throat. The cat padded about until she finally came to a dead stop smack down in the middle of this mess

"I feel useless" she mumbled to herself as she looked at her scuffed up paws. The molly looked around once more, trees, trees, rocks, more rocks, it looked pretty...lame here but I guess she would have to deal with it

"Oh? and why is that?" the calico apprentice pondered as she stood up, she felt like she was being nosey but she had to do something other than sit!

Venompaw eyes fixated on one thing, the cat in front of her. Shaking the dirt off of her fluffy pelt, she had realized that her back felt way better after Irisflame had popped it back in place and told her to give it time to rest.

Her brown ear swatted a fly away from her face as she waited for the cat to reply.

[JusticeRabbit]

"I might die I don't want a younger cat like you to die."she said whipping around "There is a dog in the territory.''

"A dog? I've never seen one of those!" Venompaw sat down, young? die? Pffff Who did this cat think she was it is just a dog.

"Oh come on, die? Are you just trying to scare me? Let me tag along! I'll ask my mentor if I can come if that makes you feel better" She looked around, she hadn't spotted Honeycreeper, or Applekit on the way here, was Applekit wandering about and was her mentor helping build? She shook the thoughts out of her head

"What do you say, if there are other cats around then don't stress about me I'll be fine! Trust me." Venompaw said standing up once more, if she could handle two cats then she could help handle a measly dog.

[JusticeRabbit]

"Fine but make sure you don't die if you do I will get killed or known as a criminal" she replied flocking her tail as a sign to follow her.

These cats moved like slugs, so slow. Dawnstripe barely kept her paws still as she wanted to pace. Her muscles ached, but not the same as when she fought, she wasn't tired just achy and restless. She wanted to head straight to the Starcave so she could get her lives, the faster these cats set up camp the better.


As Irisflame finally made her appearance, Dawnstripe got up to speak to her, pausing when Galeflame came over asking for an order. Hogsnout tone of voice didn't sit well with her when he called her attention. The leader hoped he wasn't criticizing her judgement, he might be the first one to take a dive off the cliff side. He walked away before her she could take a swing at him.

"Go help with the elders' den." She told Galeflame, the clan would need a new space to train along side the dens. That reminded her, she needed go find a place to bury their dead. She barely glanced at Blackhaze as he spoke up, so long as he listened she wouldn't have trouble, she still needed to kill him though.

Blackhaze[ Exis ] had the Nursery, Irisflame [ Moon Lily ] seemed to have found her medicine den, Dawnstripe had already the Priderock and would be taking the space underneath it as the Leader's den. Rumblepaw [ Slushie ] with few cats was working on the apprentice den. Hmm... that Tuft of fur [ Arie ] appeared to be working on some den... Dawnstripe was going assume it was the warriors' den. Galeflame could use some help with the elders' den.

"Hogsnout [ wren ], Redbristle [ Handsome Lion ], quit standing around and work on the elder's den." She growled at the first warriors that caught her attention. "Owlfeather [ punkscape ], unless you want to sleep outside I suggest helping them." She snapped at the hag standing with Irisflame. Dawnstripe made her dislike of her kin clear as a bell as she glared nastily at her. Hailstorm wasn't here for Dawnstripe to take her anger out on, Owlfeather would work as a substitute. She had no clue where the other elder was, maybe he died on the way. One less mouth to feed with the colder weather coming.

The she-cat was ready to continue harassing cats until she heard the word dog? Swinging her head, she narrowed her eyes and glared at the small grew discussing something about a dog. That dog could wait, she had more pressing matters to deal with.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" The molly growled as she stalked over to the little group chatting. Who the hell did these cats think they were, going around doing they pleased. Who the hell was the molly? "You!" Dawnstripe hissed at Springsong as she went about apparently deceiving her cats. Dawnstripe unsheathed her claws flew straight at the unknown cat, aiming to pin her down and dig her claws into her skin. "Who the hell are you and why are in my camp!"

Returning to the den with Blackhaze, Shrewpaw began to lay the moss in the nests, as well as some of the feathers that had been found before he had been told to stay in camp. It seemed most of them were done, just a few of them needed dug and lined. Scampering to the back, he scratched up some more sand, noticing with a bit of dismay the large quantity shoved in the back. He'd have to deal with that later. Laying the moss in the final nests, he mewed Blackhaze? I think the nursery is done! In a way, it was how he was rebelling against Dawnstripes, privately. He could do as much work as any warrior! Exis

[ChillCat]

Oh no. Here we go. "Wait wait wait! She saved my life from a dog and brought me back here! Don't hurt her, please." Yelling wasn't really Scorchstrike's forte right now but she would try anyway. "I was hunting and this huge dog came and got my face. I would have been dinner if it wasn't for Springsong. She didn't mean to trespass, I swear she just wanted to help." Why, why, why didn't anyone go to tell Dawnstripe! Moon Lily Shadowpaw234 Undertaker

"Ow! Get off" she said throwing her off "I'm going to kill this dog if you get off me" Undertaker

[seems its the warrior's den we're working on pfft, lets try to wrap this up fast]

-- RedHead Lynxpaw Ashpenblaze --

Okay. They had something to work with. Now in truth, with the structure from the cave, all they needed were moss for nests, and that was what she herself was going to set off to find. "Ashpenblaze and.. Shorchpaw, go... help... Thornscratch... with finding... moss... for the nests... please." Doetuft could be nice if she wanted to and she knew they would have to do this quickly. "Freezepaw... with me. We're... gonna see if... we can dig... some small... scoops." With that she quickly and somewhat hastily arranged the brambles so they were surrounding the entrance but not making it impossible to pass through. Then, moving in she quickly felt around the cave with her paws, ears perked. It would be strange getting used to such a place, with the echo's but she assumed it would eventually become normal. Despite the ground though they could dig into it and nodding to where she assumed Freezepaw was, to get started on the other side, she dug her paw into the ground and scooped out enough ground from the eventual nest so that she could lie down there comfortably before standing up and continuing on with her digging. When the others returned with their moss, this would be done.

[RedHead]

Scorchpaw vaugley heard what Doetuft said, and the ginger tomcat gave a little nod. He could do that. Finding moss should be easy. He padded a bit of a ways away, eyes scanning the surrounding area for the soft green substance. He spotted a bunch of it over in the far corner of the gorge, near where the stream came splashing in through the crevices of the rocks. Eyes brightening slightly, the ginger tomcat padded over and began scraping at the moss, being careful to not get it wet from the splashes of the stream. Once he felt like he'd gathered enough, he pressed the pile into a compressed clump before taking the top between his teeth and carrying it back over to the den. Plopping the moss down at the entrance, Scorchpaw smiled brightly at the two she-cats, proud of his accomplished job. At least he wasn't useless.

Freezepaw gave Doetuft a side glance as she stated she'd be working on digging scoops? in the den with her. It took her a moment to realize they would help keep the nests together more easily, as well as allow for more comfort and shelter. Following the other molly in, Freezepaw began scraping at the earth with her paws. The dirt was soft but solid, easy to scoop away and compact to the sides where it could build a bit of a wall around the small scoop. Once she'd covered the entire right side of the cave, remaining quiet as she worked, Freezepaw lifted her head to look towards Doetuft to assess the other molly's progress. Her gaze caught Scorchpaw's first, noticing the tom was back with moss for the nests. "Should we start laying down the moss now?" She asked, hoping that the other two slowpokes would get here with their moss soon. Otherwise she might just have to go get some more herself.

Thornscratch nodded and headed off to go look for moss. The molly first looked around the camp, finding nothing. With a sigh, she headed up and out of the gorge, trying not to fall. An instant death if she made a small mistake. That … isn't how she wanted to end her life. The golden-brown tabby stepped onto the dirt, away from the cliff. Now to look for moss. Copper eyes searched her surroundings, looking for the plant.

[ RedHead -just read this after I sent my PM haha]

Berrybounce could feel the warm rush of optimism bubbling through her veins. She was never short of the honey feeling, which sent tingles down her spine and dizzying giddiness pounding through her head. The feeling of renewal made her more confident than she could say. It seemed like all of the icky things- the bad memories, icy tension, irritating bugs- had been scratched out when they relocated. It was as if Dawny-dawnstarry had handed her a new slate and said 'do whatever'. Well, Berr-berr was going to doodle all over that slate. The nursery she was designing was going to be one of a kind. It was going to have flowers, light, space, a private fresh kill pile, private medicine den, private river, the best moss nests, and it would always smell like...honey. Not to mention the double rainbow that would be a permanent view. Humming a rapid tune, she glanced over her shoulder to cats a quick eye out for her kits. They were pretty responsible- unlike their mother- but you never knew.

Bouncing clumsily to the mouth of the nursery, she sucked in a deep break if air and exhaled it as though she could smell something. Which she did. The air smelt like must. But it was an okay smell. Sneezing as discolored around her, the cream-and-brown queen grinned at the floating particles. Yay! Dust friends! I can't wait to hug them and show Greykit and Curlykit they'll be so excited- oh my Stars look how much space there is this is so cool! Her busy mind cycles through a hundred different thoughts before she opened her mouth to ask what she should do. It was only then that she heard the familiar voice of a tom. Of course, all voices sounded the same to her so he may have been a simple stranger.
"Hm? Oh, howdy-doo! I think I'm gonna work on this neat thing. It'll be the best nursery in history. The kits will adore it. D'ya think we could take a quick peek at how the other clan's nurseries are? Because I want to make sure this one is crowned the best. Wait. Oooh, ooh! I recognize you! You're that Thunderclanner, the one who used to be the leader! I thought you sounded familiar. Wow, that was cool of us to lend us some of that territory you should be a hero or something. I'm sorry, I talk a lot. I'm Berrybounce! I have no idea what your name is, but I'm gonna call you...what should I call you?"


( gs29513 Exis Slushie Greenleap -is it alright if my queen joins in?)

[ChillCat]

Moon Lily I think it's your turn

[gs29513]

Wow, this queen seemed quite excited. Nuts even. But he couldn't exactly say that, could he. That would be very, very, VERY rude. Which Shrewpaw did NOT want to be. So, he nodded politely, and purred I'm glad you like it! Although I'm not sure we'll be able to visit the other clans just yet. We should probably get ourselves established first, in our new camp, with our new leader. Privately adding Who seems to be an evil maniac, who could kill us all. But he couldn't really say that, could he. No, no he could not. THAT would probably result in some real Dawnmaniac, probably to the tune of his death or exile. Not in the mood for that this time around. Moon Lily Exis

[Greenleap]

@Exis
Raccoonkit padded over to Blackhaze. "I got the moss!" He meowed, his mouth full on moss. He dropped it, looking at his adoptive father.

[ :Grimm: - Feel free to ignore! ]

Nightshiver silently followed behind the large group of cats, keeping as close as she could to her mother. To be fair, it felt like her side and shoulders still slightly hurt from time to time. She didn't know whether it was just her mind or reality, but as the they were walking.. It defenitely felt like that again. She solemnly looked at her paws as step after step they drew closer to what would soon be their new home-- hopefully at least. Arrived at the larger, rocky slope, the young warrior hesitated a small moment, glancing at Fawnpetal, before slowly starting to mark her way down. Many others seemed to already have long arrived, but she couldn't help her slower pace. Not right now, at least. The molly's white fur was clear in the night as she slowly crept down, paws feeling a bit battered from the rocks as she finally reached the ground. Glancing up, the majority of the clan seemed to be busy with dens.
"I-I'l go gath..-gather sup-p-supplies" she breathed lightly, nuzzling her mother for a moment before turning of to get what might still be needed.

[marshall]

Fawnpetal didn't like all this moving she had been doing lately, but as long as she was with Nightshiver. She'd be fine. It occurred to her that Nightshiver was her only remaining family member, which made her a bit sad during the whole trip. But there was nothing she could do. She nodded to Nightshiver as she left and kinda just looked around. Trying to find to help find a good spot for a nursery. Estelle

"Wait your an outsid-" before she could finish the Dawstripe pounced onto Springsong like it was nothing

"Pardon me Dawstri-star. I know Springsong here didn't mean to trespass, she just wanted to help, she saved Scorchstrike and just wants to help get rid of the dog" Venompaw felt like that if she continued that she would get whacked or kicked out of the clan for speaking her mind "So would you please just get off of Sprigsong?"

She walked up and sat back down a good 5 feet from the leader, she had never talked back to anyone it felt, interesting....to say her opinion outloud especially to the leader knowing that she might get punished for it.

"OW!" Springsong hissed at Dawnstar she was in serious pain the scars she just got hurt more then ever "Irisflame do you have any poppy seeds?" She said rembering her knowlage in herbs "This really hurts" she said looking at the scar noticing that it was bleeding "and probably some cobweb too" she said laying down so she could get the wait off her shouldders. She then started grooming herself her fur was matted after being jumped on after all. She felt a lot of pain in her shoulders she hated it.

Blackhaze smiled at the excitable queen, “The den is done but I’m sure you can add whatever you like. I can’t speak for Bearstrike but if you need any help with gathering materials or putting things up Shrewpaw and I would be happy to help.” He mewed keeping the warm charismatic smile snakes upon his face. It’s time we started being smarter. I completely agree. It was about time he started using his head. Maybe he could at least avoid being a pawn.

Ryepaw and Brookbee were weaving a den together with brambles and vines, and a few stones on the ground in a circle. Brookbee darted away suddenly, leaving Ryepaw making the den all by herself. "Hewe." The warrior grunted as she came back, dragging a big branch behind her. "Thanks." Ryepaw mewed, dipping her head in respect, before helping Brookbee weave the branch in with some brambles.

Dawnstripe frowned deeply as Scorchstrike as she explained why the outsider was here, and Venompaw tried to back her up! Idiots, they don't let outsiders into the camp just because they wanted to help, and they certainly don't do it without alerting her. The leader got off the whining cat but refused to sheath her claws. Her eyes swung over to Blackhaze as he announced the nursery was finished, took them long enough. She swished her tail to acknowledge him but refused to have her amber gaze turned away from the trespasser for longer than a few seconds.

"We're not wasting herbs on an outsider," Dawnstripe spat when the molly had the gull to call the medicine cat over. This cat didn't belong to her clan, so how the hell did they know Irisflame that got the leader's paranoia skyrocketing. "Scorchstrike," Dawnstripe looked down at the warrior while shaking her head in disapproval. "I don't care who's life is saved! You are not to bring strange cats into the camp without telling me first."

Dawnstripe didn't care in the slightest about the wounds the warrior had. She should be happy that she was alive. What didn't kill her made her stronger. "I've heard nothing about a dog in the territory, but if you're so worried about it, I'll send a patrol to deal with it later. You!" The scar across her face came to life with pain as Dawnstripe lifted her lips to snarl at Springsong.

"Get out of my camp and off of my territory. If there's trouble in my territory, my warriors can handle it. I don't need some trespasser's help. You'll hold us back and get my cats killed." It was either get out of her camp at once, or Dawnstripe would consider her a threat and tear out her throat.

Now she needed to find cats to deal with a dog...wait! Now that she thought of it she had a grand idea.

'Are we kill'em? AreweAreweAreweeeeeee!'

'Make it a test, deem who's the best.'

A sly smile came and went on Dawnstripe's maw. This could be interesting. She'd announce it before she went to the Starcave.

"WHO ELSE IS DONE WITH THEIR DEN? IT'S ALMOST SUNDOWN AND I WANT HUNTING PATROLS SENT OUT." Honestly! It didn't take all day. These cats were taking forever. All they had to do was fetch some moss and put it down.

"Oh well..." She said padding out of the camp she went to her territory. (Hey ChillCat Scorchstrike will be seeing Icestar if she is what if they see each other too?)

[ChillCat]

Did I just do something bad? Scorchstrike had seen that smile on Dawnstripe's face, and the way she dismissed the dog was...cold. Like she didn't care if warriors died being sent to deal with it. Just what was going on? "Springsong, you should go. Thanks for everything." She tried to get up but failed miserably, turned and realized her back leg was shredded. Great.

[Rani]

Adderfang quietly padded into camp a large bundle on branches and nest material carried in her mouth and resting on her back and started to quietly re enforce the new dens dumping her nest supplies into neat piles for cats to use. The large molly was still quietly in shock at the mess she had wandered back into after lingering back to investigate a dog scent on the territory. She was more than ready to assist if a clanmate asked for it but would continue quietly and diligently working on the medicine cats den in the meantime.

Finpaw acknowledged Rumblepaw’s words with a short nod, focused on his task. He worked quickly, scraping sand out and away, one shallow dip after another until the den was spotted with them. Finally taking a few pawsteps back to admire his handiwork and catch his breath, he looked over to see how the kit who’d joined them was doing.

“That’s great, Chickadeekit!” he praised, padding over to inspect the nest she’d dug out and decorated. “It looks super comfortable. I’m sure the elders will really appreciate it once you’re an apprentice, heheh.”

Noticing Marigoldpaw at the cave entrance, he welcomed her in with a wave of his tail. “We do, actually! Do you think you could help with distributing all this moss and the feathers Rumblepaw brought to each nest? There should be enough for all of them.”

“Would you like me to go let Dawnstar know we’re about done here?” Finpaw then asked Rumblepaw. Seeing as all the nests were dug out and just needed their bedding at this point, he figured it’d be a good idea to let their leader know the apprentice’s den was taken care of, but he still did want to check in with the tom who’d picked it out in the first place. “I can also grab some extra moss and feathers on my way back, just in case we need more.”

[gs29513]

Oh, um, me and Blackhaze are done! Which I guess means......the nursery is done? Do you want me to help with something else, like, another den, or......something else. Shrewpaw asked a bit nervously. He wasn't sure how this was going to go, and if he got in trouble, he wanted it to be him, not Blackhaze, seeing as Dawnstripe had been sending him some grumpy looks. And also.......he kind of wanted to stay on her good side. Getting eaten was a BAD idea. Would she eat him? He didn't THINK so, but he wasn't entirely sure, so.......better be safe than sorry maybe? Although he really wasn't sure what there was to get mad about when he was just saying he was done? So maybe..........it'd be fine. Yeah, it'd probably be fine. So, his extraordinarily long mental dialogue out of the way, he stood a little straighter, and waited for the answer. Undertaker Exis

Okay. They got moss. And the scoops were dug out. Assuming the warriors would preferably just prefer to line their own nests, Doetuft nudged the ball over to one of the corners and turning around and throwing a grateful smile Scorchpaw's way. "Thank... you." It seemed the den was done already and in honest truth she was quite happy. They'd done a lot of work and quickly, her and Freezepaw had worked quite quickly with finishing it up. "We don't... need more moss. Warriors aren't kits... they can make their own... nests.. out of the moss.. and the dug scoops... in the ground." Or at least that was her opinion. By no way were they going to fill up the entire den with moss, that would take far too long and despite her appreciation for some of the warriors the least they could do was get off their asses and make their own nest.

[ BILL. Warriors den is done ]

[Sorrow]

--Stardust--

Stardust crept around, keeping to the shadows. This evil cat was one to toy with cats before killing them. She wanted to kill. Any cat. She would murder them in broad daylight, just so long as no cat was looking. Any cat she thought she could take down, she would go for it. Stardust was the type of cat that would torture their victim until they didn't want to live anymore, or just get her claws on their throat. That would do it. Spotting an apprentice, she crept over to them. Hello. the cat said, trying to keep her tone casual. Do you mind to come with me?

The apprentice nodded, and paced after Stardust as she went to a hiding spot. What are we- She broke off as teeth stabbed into her neck, and she fell to the ground, looking around.

Stardust laughed and threw a paw down to cover the apprentice's nose so they couldn't breathe.

Help! Someone help me! the cat wheezed as her muzzle was covered.

Stardust's teeth closed around the cats throat. This killed the apprentice. The cat, she realized, was her daughter best friend. Emberpaw. She had just killed a friend. But the evil cat did not care. She chuckled and walked back to the rest of ShadowClan, leaving Emberpaw's body in her hiding spot. Today was perfect. It couldnt get any better.

Bearsound studied his “leader” with a thoughtful air, she was looking quite evil with that smile on her face, padding up to her, he asked,
“Dawnstripe, is there anything I can help with?” He held back the sarcasm bubbling at his lips, he didn’t want to get called out, not yet at least.

Ebonyfang smiled that she actually liked the stream that ran through the den. He looked at his grandmother with a nod. The tom didn't hesitate much and padded into the den. There were a couple of things lying on the ground. There was a dead mouse hanging out in the middle. Flys were flying around it. The tom wrinkled his nose and quickly picked it up in his mouth. He hurried to dig it up outside the new camp. He returned a few moments later. "Took care of that stinky mess.", he meowed. The medicine cat apprentice went back in and swept everything out with his fluffy black tail. Ebonyfang looked up at Irisflame. "It's ready for nests now.", he meowed to the both of them. The large fluffy black tom was proud of his work, but he didn't really show it. He turned to his grandmother. "I'll help gather bedding.", Ebonyfang added. Before waiting for an answer he lead her out of camp. He really needed to talk to Owlfeather about something.

[pidgeon]

Handsome Lion Undertaker

"I'll get to my own den after the others are taken care of," Owlfeather stubbornly told her granddaughter when she was suggested to work on the Elder's den. She was the only elder around, and she knew she would be fine with the queens if her den wasn't built yet. The other dens were more important, especially the medicine den during this uncertain time.

When Ebonyfang began leading the way to gather bedding, Owlfeather sensed some sort of underlying urgency and followed him without protest.

[Undertaker]

Dawnstripe sighed, ignoring the old hag's comment, she barely glanced at the toms as they asked for more work. This was getting tiring and time-consuming. It would be next moon by the time they all finished. It was almost like they were...

'Doing it on purpose waiting to usurp us.'

Dawnstripe glanced at Finpaw, hearing her new name and the word done, she figured the apprentice den was finished. Shooting one more glare at Springsong, expecting her to leave, Dawnstripe turned her gaze to Adderfang as she padded in with supplies in her maw.

Rather than letting all the cats work at their own pace, next time, Dawnstripe would make sure to give explicit orders to everyone. Ignoring Adderfang completely, Dawnstripe grabbed some of her extra bedding, tail beckoning the massive gray tabby over once he finished ungracefully walking down the trail. She didn't trust him, and strongly disliked him but he had his uses.

"Find a den for the elders." She ordered Beastspark, dropping some moss and feathers at his paws. She didn't wait to see what he'd do as she walked over to the den claimed by the medicine cats. It didn't take longer than a few minutes for her to set up some nests inside, seeing as Ebonyfang had cleaned it out.

"There done." She muttered to herself, shaking out her pelt as she exited the den. The medicine cats could move stuff around as they saw fit later.

"Dawnstripe, I'm done with elders' den." Beastspark announced once the leader swung her head in his direction. He had some cobwebs stuck to his pelt and a feather in his tail, but he worked faster than the rest of the clan. Dawnstripe glanced inside the small cave he had picked out, spotting a few nests made in the back.

It would do, she stalked out without a word, inspecting the nursery, warriors' den, and apprentices' den with glances. Grabbing what was left of the bedding, she set up a nest in her den underneath the rockpile. She was pleased to find that it was far more spacious than her mother's old den. She padded back out of the den seconds later and let out a huff. That took way longer than necessary, these cats acted like they were building these dens from scratch with the time they took.

Irisflame grinned at her apprentice, happy that she could actually bring cheer to his face. It was a rare instance, and one that she was quite happy to be a part of. As Ebonyfang pattered forwards to start cleaning out the den, she turned to Owlfeather, her deep blue gaze respectful.
"Your grandson is a remarkable cat. You should be very proud." She murmured quietly, gaze slinking back in the direction of the fluffy black tom. The light dwelling within her chest made her feel fuller, somehow. Perhaps it was just the selfish feeling of exhilaration after handing across a compliment, but it left her feeling happier than she had been in moons. She had not felt like this since her original apprentice had been taken.
Snapping out of her thoughts as the tom emerged from the depths of the cave, Irisflame poked her head through the mouth. The den was spacious, and although it still stank of rotten flesh the could air it out. Lavender was quite easy to locate in their territory. She nodded to the pair of them.
"Alright, just keep safe. I'll work on storing the herbs while you're gone. And I can do the digits for you, if you'd like, Owlfeather. It looks like Ebony here wants you to go with him." She explained, waving the off with a flick of her tail. "Oh! And Ebony- if you see any herbs, do you mind grabbing them for me?"

[ BILL. -mc den is finished!]

[ ChillCat Shadowpaw234 Ashpenblaze Undertaker ]

Irisflame stiffened as she heard the soft growl of Dawnstar's voice behind her. Her heart gave a painful thump of panic as she approached, towering over them. Her features shuffling a solemn expression. The medicine cat stood, straight-backed as she dipped her head respectfully to Her Majesty. The leader, who had appeared to want to speak with her was sucked into something else. Ah. The dog trio. It was far from amusing to watch the molly's gaze sharpen at the sight of them. There would be consequences. For what, she had no idea, but she was sure that the strong-headed majesty would find a reason. The reason was far easier to locate than she had thought.
A rogue? Her gaze turned harsh and stonelike as she whipped her head around to face the pinned she-cat. She hadn't even noticed. She smelt so much like dog and pine and scraps of Shadowclan that she hadn't unearthed the rogue scent. Standing by as the leader conversed with the rogue, she gulped silently. "Springsong, was it? Thank you for saving this molly from the dog. But you've created more trouble coming here than you'd want. I can't help you." She mewed, fighting to keep her voice even. Icestar's would have been more lenient. She would have at least regarded her when the medicine cat suggested the should heal the rogue and send her on her way. It wounded her to see a cat before her hurt, and nonetheless one she could not support.
"And you, the one who was mauled by that dog. After this whole ordeal I'm going to take you over to my den and leave you there for a little while. Me and Dawnstar need to talk." She instructed sharply, her gaze still help with an air of importance. She could not be anything but polite and blunt in the face of the leader. Not if she wanted to remain alive and well.
