RiverClan Floodstone

[SeonghwasBunnyEars]

Blue {They/She}
A Russian blue she-cat with one blue eye and one foggy blue eye-this eye being 40% blind.
First, Blue was scared. Scared a fight was gonna break out. Scared that PikeStar would be killed and dragged into the forest for the birds to eat. Scared they would loose the one cat they truly wanted around, besides SmokePaw and Beechkit of course.
Then Blue was worried. Worried she would be kicked out if GingerFrost was the leader. Worried Jay would find them and kill them. Worried the clan would fall into disorder and chaos.
Now, Blue was mad. Mad that these cats were turning on a cat who tried his best. Turning on a cat who gave her a second chance at a better life. Mad that these cats were whining like little kits when this cat was sacrificing his life, or lives, to help and care for them.
She turned to the direction of SwirlSplash and PebbleSplash. They looked at the cats with pride. She was glad others would stand up for this amazing cat who did the best he could.
"SwirlSplash and PebbleSpash are right!" Blue yelled, with confidence "I may be just an outsider who came out from nowhere but PikeStar gave me a chance! A chance to live a better life! Everyone here needs to think about how much PikeStar has gave up for us and about how much he could not be helping us now and how much he could've left us to die!
{ Captain - Pike mention }

Swirlsplash smiled at the she-cat, dipping her head in respect

[Madelaine]

July heard his name and carefully moved out from he was once again. The young tom kit looked around nervously at the other cats. Would they continue to argue? Would an actual fight break out? If so he was prepared to run straight back to the nursery. That was not what he signed up for. Maybe fighting the other clans, but fighting among their own clanmates made him feel ill.

[Estelle]

And the yelling and berating continued. He could hardly get a word in – in fact, he could get no word in at all. Everyone spoke over one another again and again, until eventually voices became impossible to discern. They were right. This wasn’t the RiverClan he grew up in. Then one voice stood out, and for a moment, his world stopped; Pikestar was stepping down? His eyes flew to the larger feline, shocked and taken aback expression covered by neutrality and thought within the blink of an eye. This was beyond… He didn’t know. Gingerfrost didn’t know. All he knew, as Tinystorm and Beansprout’s words stated, is that he wasn’t worthy of being a leader. He could improve as a deputy, not as a leader.
”That’s why I won’t be your leader.”
After some thought, he raised his voice and mew those few words in response to the retaliation he’s already received.
”I am not fit for a leadership position. Although I can try to improve as your deputy, I cannot as your leader. I won’t be taking the position.”
His eyes turned to Pikestar, head dipping.
”I’m sorry.”
He murmured before sitting back down to allow the meeting to continue. There was a heaviness, a guiltiness, in his chest. But ultimately he knew this was the right choice. Now for the apprentice ceremonies.

"This Is Stupid" Sassafras'eyes murmured under her breathe

"WELL IF YOU AIN'T GONNA LEAD THE CLAN WHO WILL? I SURELY HOPE NOT ONE OF THOSE GROUCHES UP THERE MAKING SUCH A DISRESPECTFUL SCENE!!!" she skreeched...

(but see's the one causing a scene at the moment is you for yelling girl *chuckles*)

[Buzzin' Bee]

Maybe this wasn't the right moment to smile, but Berryflare was smiling anyway. Gingerfrost had refused! She thought of so many things too say like, ha, everyone knew you weren't ready for leadership, or He's too young to be a leader, great star-clan I don't pay much attention too deputies but how long had he been one anyway? No wonder he's saying he can 'improve.' Ha! I doubt it! Berryflare decided not too say them though. Pikestar or even Gingerfrost would probably get mad at her.

Who will be leader now? She wondered, watching as the breeze carried
rock. She shook her head, this was madness! The leader was stepping down and the deputy won't accept the position! Great star-clan what will happen next? The medicine cat's herbs stop working? Berryflare sighed ... maybe she wasn't right too go against the tom. As her smile faded away, she started to feel sorry, for the first time for a deputy.

She sighed, stood up and returned too her original spot for meeting. It was continuing after all. There was a kitten ready too be an apprentice and some rouges or something to receive clan names and get mentors. Berryflare sighed once more when she realized how long this meeting could last. She could barely handle apprentices annoying behaviors and now she had too go through this. A meeting. A meeting with loud, annoying, crazy cats. Yes, she was probably one of them, but she probably wasn't ... or maybe she was. Oh but she couldn't be. Wait, she was one. Though - Berryflare quickly interrupt her thoughts by hissing a remark at herself. She sighed once again, maybe, just maybe all the cats here weren't loud, annoying or crazy. She sat down and started paying more attention, something she hadn't done in a while.

Beansprout (https://beansite.carrd.co/)
RiverClan Warrior

// disclaimer: beansprout's views do not necessarily correlate with my own. \\

As chaos surged around him, the voices surrounding Beansprout roared and combined into an incomprehensible clamor. He didn't hear anything that happened. Even if cats were speaking to him, he kept his gaze focused on Pikestar -- or was it Snowleap, now? Either way, his brain was clear and focused on his target. That cat who he loved as, well, a cat, but was never meant to lead RiverClan. A nagging thought in the back of his mind hoped that Snowleap would be able to find peace within RiverClan with the group's burdens off their shoulders. Perhaps his roleplayer would have some joy as well, for he was just as lovely as Snowleap was. [ Captain ]

Everything came back to him when Wormbite [ x ghostie ] -- lovely, beautiful Wormbite -- appeared at his side, dark fur brushing against lighter gray. He couldn't help it; even in the middle of unthinkable chaos, Beansprout smiled. The siamese cat would try to press his nose gently onto Wormbite's cheek. Now, he was able to take in the rest of the events.

Just in time, too -- Minnowpaw [ Larissa ], an apprentice he knew, made their way to the medicine den, looking unwell. As much as he wanted to check up on the kid, Silversnow [ puppeteer ] confronted him. However, her angry words fizzled away, so Beansprout didn't even think of it as worthwhile to acknowledge them. He didn't want to drag on arguments unnecessarily.

And then... Raccoonear. As she spoke, it was grating, like claws on rock. Beansprout's tail lashed nearly out of control as Raccoonear fed into his seething anger. With a scornful laugh, he stepped forward into his Clanmate's space, tilting his head up as he spoke. "You call us ignorant? You say we're trying to 'play hero', huh?" With a dismissive snort, the siamese continued. "Ferretsnap [ lio ] put it nicely, but I won't. Both of your options are awful." Fangs bared as he went on. "Our options are another lazy leader or have a kid choose who leads the entire Clan? Who's the ignorant one now?" Beansprout's blue peeper narrowed, filled with fury. "Maybe if you thought for just a second, you'd realize that the last time a brand-new medicine cat held the fate of RiverClan in their paws, we got stuck with Kestrelstar!" Finally, he stepped back. "Maybe instead of pinning a life-altering decision on a kid, you should work on pulling your head out of your ass." As much as Beansprout disliked Stonepaw [ carmen ], expecting the new medicine cat to make a decision this important was far too much pressure. That kid should be focused on learning herbs and getting to know his Clanmates.

Speaking of Stonepaw, the young cat appeared at his side and asked him a genuinely good question. If not Gingerstar, who to put in charge? It took him a few moments of thought, but Beansprout quickly came to a conclusion.

"Me."

Something set in his chest, hard and fast like a rock. "None of the high ranks -- not Gingerfrost [ Estelle ], not any of the Shields, have displayed a full, unwavering faith in RiverClan. Many of them act only in situations like this. Like Raccoonear." With an unpleasant look, he gestured to the deranged cat. "RiverClan needs someone who can guide this Clan in times of peace in order to avoid chaos. And I am that cat. I'm confident of that." At the suggestion of a council of sorts, Beansprout shook his head. "RiverClan needs a leader, not a council. Though it's not a bad idea, cats will yowl and scream for power, desperate to be a part of this council. Some only step up when power is up for grabs." He thought grimly of all the cats who shouted directions into the void, hoping to be the one to command this unruly crowd. Unlike all those, though, Beansprout's message was heard and spread. "RiverClan needs a leader dedicated to them, not just for the -star suffix and the 9 lifetimes."

When Stonepaw went to tend to Minnowpaw (thankfully; the latter didn't look too good), Beastflame [ ophelia ] approached. Instead of reprimanding Beansprout, the warrior offered a genuinely rational proposal. Wait until this meeting was over. Let the new apprentices and warriors have their time in the sun. With a slight dip of his head, Beansprout replied, "You're right. this is an issue, but our young should have their time in the sun. We've waited moons for a stable leader, and we can afford to wait until the end of this meeting."

As Briarkit [ jupiter ] stumbled up to him, Beansprout listened as the kit wailed about him turning tail on Snowleap. Flattening his ear, the cat responded in a gentler tone. "I like Pikestar, I truly do. He is an amazing cat. But he's just... not ready to be leader. It's better for him to go back to being a warrior. Where he can be.... happier." His voice trailed off. Then, with a shake of his head, Beansprout spoke again, concern thick in his mew. "You need to go back to the nursery, or the medicine den. You're obviously not doing well." Who was supposed to be looking after this kit? "Lilycreek? [ sol. ] Please take Briarkit out of this meeting. Get someone to take care of her. She shouldn't be here." With that, the warrior's focus was back on the meeting.

The next one to pipe up against him was Goosecurl. [ wren ] He ignored the cat's words, choosing purposefully not to indulge their idiotic rambling. But then... "Goosecurl, do you really think keeping Briarkit at this meeting is a good idea?" Beansprout offered an incredulous stare toward his Clanmate. "No. Briarkit needs taken care of. I'd think it's pretty damn obvious that she's unwell." As he was going to continue, though, a new piercing voice demanded his attention. With a hiss in Pebblesplash's [ ~Fawn.Heart~ ]'s direction, Beansprout retorted, "I'm so sick of having to tell you cats to get your heads out of your asses. Open your eyes! If you think Pikestar is really the best example of a leader out there, then maybe you should get your brain checked out. Leaders are cats at the forefront of everything. Leaders are the ones who make the tough decisions and stick by their Clans. Leaders have 9 lives because they are meant to defend their Clan with all of them!" With a low growl, the siamese sat down. "I won't be going anywhere. Unlike some cats, I want to fix this broken shell of a Clan, not abandon it. Thanks for the suggestion, though." He was done talking to cats. He needed to hear what Snowleap and Gingerfrost had to say.

As Snowleap conceded that leadership would, in fact, be talked about post-meeting, Beansprout felt his hackles lower. The warrior hadn't realized how tense and defensive his posture was until there was just a touch of reprieve. He wouldn't say anything in response to Snowleap, allowing the meeting to continue as it should. But that was when Gingerfrost interrupted with his statement. Shock and a bit of respect flowed through Beansprout's veins. He felt calmer than before, and spoke directly to the deputy.

"You may need to improve by a landslide, but I'm glad you're not another leader making empty promises. I'm glad the leader position will be for someone else. Hopefully, someone who leads by a better example than Pikestar."

It was finally happening.

Everything Beechkit had dreamed of, hoped of sincs the day he could emerge from the nursery. Pikestar had just called his name for an apprentice ceremony. His. But when he heard that Stonepaw may get to decide the Clan's future, he bristled. Stars he hated that cat. And really he had no reason to. It wasn't Stonepaw's fault this was happening, some tiny part of him tried to rationalise, but his emotions got the better of him and he seethed hotly for a moment, glaring daggers at the young tom. He became an apprentice before me. It was partly his fault that my apprentice ceremony has gone like this.

Another thought hit him them. Will anyone even remember this meeting for my apprenticeship, when it was the meeting Pikestar stepped down? He directed another, more subtle stare at Pikestar and the other High Ranks as he stepped up to the spot under the Streamstone that the little gathering of cats had left. It didn't matter now. All that mattered was the he was gonna be an apprentice, and one step closer to his dream.

BEASTFLAME
^^^^^^^^
Thankfully, the chaos seemed to be fading. The roaring in the warrior's tufted ears was subsiding to a rumble. The screaming ceased, succeeded by more civil debates, arguments, and discussion. It was much easier for Beastflame to tune out the unnecessary noise and irrelevant chatter, but he still almost missed it when Beansprout [ vellichor ] responded to the young medicine cat's [ carmen ] question. Almost. His amber eyes widened by the smallest margin, and he glanced briefly at the other warrior. Well. That was...ambitious. Beastflame didn't even know a cat could do that, nominate themselves as a warrior. Honestly, though, it didn't sound like the worst idea to the tabby tom. Beansprout was certainly experienced, and well respected in the clan. Even Beastflame looked up to the other tom occasionally.

Still, the question nagged at the back of his head. Beansprout had been so quick to call for an overturning of the current High Ranks. He didn't seem to get along well with Stonepaw, either. And he was rather emotional. None of this meant that Beastflame disliked the other tom, it just made him slightly nervous about the prospect of him becoming leader. Shouldn't StarClan have the final say in this?

Realizing he was focusing on the exact opposite of what he'd just told everyone else to focus on, he shook the thoughts from his head, sitting decisively beside Beansprout, Wormbite [ x ghostie ], and Raccoonear. Gingerfrost's [ Estelle ] collected voice entered the fray, and Beastflame found himself surprised again. That was a record, he was pretty sure. He didn't know the deputy very well, so he didn't know how to feel about his decision. But it wasn't his decision anyways, so he didn't linger too long on thinking about it. He gave Gingerfrost a solemn nod. One step at a time.

Then, Pikestar [ Captain ] was beginning to speak once more, and Beastflame returned the leader's smile with a sad one of his own. He wanted to speak with the other tom when this was all over, but he was sure that there would be quite the lines. Pikestar probably didn't even want to hear from him. After all, he'd just gone along with the whole situation. Perhaps he should have been more like Pebblesplash [ ~Fawn.Heart~ ], speaking out in rejection of those who opposed Pike. But deep down inside, Beastflame knew that was not the path that would lead to the best result for the clan. Who was he to refuse Pikestar's decision? Only they knew what was best for them.

Suppressing sentimentality, he focused on the words coming from the leader's mouth. Beechkit. [ Cinderspirit ] His eyes tracked the tom as he walked past to stop in front of the Streamstone. There was anger in the young cat's eyes, which sent regret through Beastflame. "Now is your time," the large tabby reminded the soon-to-be-apprentice, giving him an encouraging nod. It must have been frustrating to receive a ceremony at a time like this, with so much overshadowing. But Beastflame was going to give the cats the spotlight they deserved, even if so few others would.

[JackHunt_17]

Cloud heard his name and approached tentatively towards the streamstone

[shaae_26]

So much going on, with Pikestar trying to move on with apprentice ceremonies and then Gingerfrost saying he won’t even accept the role as leader made things even more hectic, at least in Duststreams mind

[RavensCall]

Smokepaw sighed. "We need reasonable cats, not chaotic asswipes. Someone who deserves that position, that name, and those lives. If Stonepaw will not choose, then we will need someone to step up and actually be important. If anyone wants Pebblesplash to be leader, go to the left side of camp. If anyone wants Beansprout to be leader, go to the right. Stay in the middle if you want Stonepaw to choose. I may only be an apprentice with barely any training, but that doesn't mean don't I know my stuff. I'm not just saying this so I can worm my way up to Shield ranking, I'm saying this because I care about my clan."

"Excuse me for using some words you don't like, but I can say whatever I want whenever I want. And you can take any frustrations you have and shove them up your BUTT." The last part was slurred as the delirious kit pointed a shaking ginger tabby paw at Goose, an indignant trill coming from the wobbly kit. "My nose belongs wherever it's important. I'm apart of this Clan too, bro, and I can use whatever language I want." Trailing away as she completely ignored Goose's order, turned around to receive the answer she desired from Beansprout.

Hm.

So sometimes cats tried hard, cared a lot, but just weren't ready? But they felt like they had to keep the responsibility on their shoulders because that was what they thought they had to do. The whole situation looked very similar to her and her father's own in comparison, but she couldn't- she wouldn't -take the title of father away from him. She would talk to him. Not now, obviously. When he finally showed up. And when her stupid head stopped hurting. "Okay... that makes a little sense. But you're still not being nice. You can say that stuff to help him without hurting his feelings. Everyone's really sad and saying mean things won't make anyone listen to you." She mumbled, head pounding like the dog's jaws were on her again.

"I'm not unwell! I'm just tired and have a little headache." A wince that crumpled her face together in a pained grimace at a throb that felt like boulders against her skull was quite contradictory, and she hoped no one who could boss her around would notice. "Guess who's supposed to take care of me? My dad. Try and find him, because I haven't had any luck. Let Lily rest, she's sad. And if I'm big enough to get eaten by a dog, I'm old enough to listen to some cats talk. Everyone stop yelling!" The last part came out as a pained whimper as Sassafrasssomething started screaming. Ears pressed against her head as she tried to block it out, she let out a loud groan of pain. Wow. Everything was spinning again. Holy smokes!

Briarkit felt like she was going to pass out. Panic bubbled in her chest, and she swayed on unsteady paws.

Looking over at Smokepaw as he tried to order ANOTHER vote, she squinted unfocused, darkening eyes on them. "Bro, have you not been listening? No voting yet! Ceremonies! Shut up! Jeez-a-loooo-" Her eyes fixed on the tomcat beside her. Who was this guy again? The concussed kit wrinkled her forehead as she tried to figure out who was in front of her. "Excuse me, mister. You're missing something." She stuttered, sinking into a crouch to prevent herself from falling over. Gesturing over to his missing ear. Did he know that he was missing something? "Doyawanthelpfindingit?" This final sentence was a strung out mess as she completely why she was talking to him and turned away to wobble away on unsteady paws, walking like she was without a skeleton and her legs were jelly. Maybe naptime wasn't a bad idea after all.

But with more and more screaming, she let out a soft sob and stumbled, covering her ears. "Stop, stop, please stop." She cried, pressing her paws against her ears to try and calm her pounding, splitting head. "Make it stop, please. Please."

[ wren vellichor Octavia! sol. - for lily mention! using briarkit's concussion to excuse the messy dialogue and wordings in this post :rofl: ]

[Sklee]

Amberwing stayed totally still throughout the proceedings. She didn't know what else to do. Things shouted left and right, and she couldn't tell what anything meant she should do. Staying still seemed like the best option. It had always kept her safe before. She just stayed still, and watched the chaos around her.

[Silvershadow13]

~Silentripple~

The tabby molly pinned her ears as the cats of Riverclan started to argue and then the whole camp; even some of the kits started to shout opinions and thoughts that they had kept hidden for possibly moons. The news of what was happening spun through her head Pikestar retiring; so many cats not wanting Gingerfrost to lead; votes; go to the left or right; Stone paw should choose; continue the meeting; we are not content; this meeting will go private her thoughts going round and round in her head, making it ache and her get irritated, this was not how clans should act, they were supposed to be bonded; but by the look of things...

That was never going to fully happen.

FERRETSNAP (https://toyhou.se/21159626.ferretsnap)
fluffy brown and white tom with amber eyes.
he/him

At least some cats had some sense. Others... not so much. As Sleekshine [ SUGA ] spoke to him, Ferretsnap scowled, his nose turning up at her words.

"Working his paws off for the Clan? Working his paws off? Please! You either have to be blind, or just stupid to really think Gingerfrost has done anything remotely close to 'working his paws off'," he spat, eyes narrowed into a glare toward the she-cat, "How about you think for a moment- our Clan is not what it once was because nobody wants to give a damn."

Flicking his tail, he turned away from the she-cat to focus on others talking. More yelling, more people using their emotions to talk instead of their logic. Curling his lip, he chose to ignore everyone else spewing nonsense. It was no wonder RiverClan was falling apart. Everyone was a bunch of idiots who probably didn't even know the difference between a dog and a fish.

Then Pikestar- or Snowleap- spoke once more, with Gingerfrost following after. Ah, the deputy was going to willingly stay a deputy. While Ferretsnap would prefer having someone who actually did something as deputy instead of sitting on his ass, maybe this would be a wake-up call. At least, he could hope so. If not, Ferretsnap may have to personally go and give him a few words. Or just kick his ass. Whichever would be more effective.

With Beansprout's [ vellichor ] speech, Ferretsnap flicked an ear in acknowledgment. Stepping up to be in charge? What big words he spoke, stepping up to take charge like that. Sure, the things Beansprout said were right, and it was obvious he cared for the Clan. But nominating himself like that? How interesting.

As he spoke, Ferretsnap rose to his paws and took a step closer. "He's right. This little game of having high ranks just sitting around carrying the name of leader or deputy has gone on long enough. We need a leader who will work for the Clan instead of acting like they're kits playing pretend in the nursery. Someone who actually takes a moment to solve problems and isn't sitting back twiddling their paws until disaster strikes," he said, raising his voice for others to hear, "Six Clanmates. Six of our Clanmates had to die for change to be made. This is what our Clan has come to. This isn't just with the dogs, either. A change has been needed for a long time, and RiverClan needs cats who will actually stand up and make those changes happen."

By now, frustration was blatant in his gaze. His ears flattened as he heard an apprentice speak. Smokepaw [ Octavia! ], was it? He didn't exactly care right now- only focusing on the apprentice's words. Ferretsnap could hardly stifle a laugh. "Have you not heard a single thing that's been said? First of all, why the hell does Pebblesplash deserve to be a choice? Sure, Beansprout I can understand since he actually gives a damn, but seriously? And in case you missed it, there is in no way, shape, or form that someone fresh out of the nursery should be deciding who our leader is. Hell, Stonepaw shouldn't even be in charge of healing the Clan! He's a kit!" Lashing his tail, Ferretsnap took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. His thoughts on the medicine cat didn't matter in this moment. "I'm not partaking in any idiotic voting, and that is that. Now how about everyone shut the hell up so we can get this meeting over with, yeah?"

Finally, he closed his eyes and sat down again, attention returning to Snowleap so they could continue with the ceremonies.

[ Ferretsnap's opinions are not a reflection of my own. ]

[wolfie]

Duststream did not yell at him for his explanation, not even a rude statement. One point in Wormbite's eyes. Maybe a few cats could learn from him. He nodded his head in response. [ comet15 ]

A kid approached them, and he realized it was Stonepaw. He held his tongue - he wasn't directly speaking to him. Beansprout, but there was a part that caught the oriental's interest. And confusion. Eyebrows furrowed together, because he could not tell if this was him asking for guidance or .. simply making a point. (Which he was not picking up on. ) "..I - Stonepaw, I am .. unsure what you mean.. but after.. this, if you want to know the expectations or ways to improve - I will answer. At least, try to?" Wormbite offered, and .. he wanted to help. He wasn't sure how to, but Stonepaw was young. Young like Snakeheart and young like Fawnlight.. he didn't want for this kid to wake up with nightmares. [ carmen ]

And then, something he didn't expect was said. With pure confidence, Beansprout stated he would lead Riverclan. If there was no one fit for the role, he would. Wormbite's head snapped to him, shock appearing in his typical monotone face. Oh. Oh. Maybe Shimmeringpool had been right. His tail curled over his hindleg, and there had been a thought that crossed his head with dreadfully worry. If no one led Riverclan, then he would. He would die for Riverclan but selfishly, he didn't want to do that - leadership. (Dying was a different thing.) Beansprout was, and this shouldn't had been surprising. He was kind and he was wonderful. Inspiring. Lovely. Wormbite would attempt to gently touch his nose against the smaller warrior. I will stand by you. His nomination was settled in his mind without a doubt. [ vellichor ]

Wormbite wanted this to remain civil. It was almost ironic, how he had stated it will remain civil so help him but at last, he was only one man. .. and currently there was a screaming cat by his side. He hadn't quite realized when Raccoonear stepped up to Beansprout who he is standing next to. Until she screamed. Perhaps the Dark Lord was sensitive to sounds, but "Starsdammit, " Wormbite hissed, wincing away from the molly with a scowl showing. Feeling his fur prickle, and he ducked to lean against Beansprout. Feeling their fur brush offered a sense of comfort. Something to ground himself on. (Last time, he had ended up on the floor of gathering and he didn't quite want to deal with that right now. )

It was hard to listen to the Shield when she was yelling because mainly Wormbite felt the urge to simply .. cover her mouth, and perhaps that showing in his eyes because his opinions on Raccoonear were of the bare minimum. (Briefly, he realized it shouldn't be - they were fellow shields for crying out loud, but she had done nothing to quite offer a base of. Even the one thing he asked her to do was hadn't been completed. )

He thought for a second. And with a deadpan expression, shuffled to stand in the center, right front of Raccoonear. "If you raise your voice at me, I will not listen to a word you say, " Wormbite stated bluntly, a warning. "To put it frankly, Stonepaw is still a 'paw, and a new one at that. Putting the pressure on a child to choose our leader and, essentially deal with the fallout if that leader falls through is .. cruel. I will have doubt you thought of that and are simply believing in the warrior's code - I will give you that benefit of the doubt, " and he lowered his gaze as he finished that statement. .. He had his own opinions about the code. "But my point stands. As a whole, Riverclan should be able to choose. This is their future - and it will negate the guilt and the blame falling on one cat. " Maybe if it was Fawnlight, his opinion would be different but .. ah, his last point.

Tilting his head to the side, "And no. I would rather crawl in a hole and cease to exist than to have eyes all on me, " .. For Starclan's sake, if anyone doubted that statement, he wasn't sure if his clan had any idea on him. He spent an apprenticeship being called the Dark Lord. [ rowan ]

Lilycreek approached Raccoonear and while Wormbite was not invited in the conversation, he still chimed in because well, the idea of picking up Gingerfrost's slack appalled him. "Riverclan has spent moons at the bare minimum, " actually, his opinion was more complicated than that but at last, he needed to get his point across strictly. "Lilycreek, you have shown more ability to lead than Gingerfrost. I - do not mean that in a negative way - .. A genuine way? Ah, I lost - I lost my point around here, it is just.. a forever queen should not show more potential for being a wonderful leader than our own deputy? Different .. tasks.... " he was going to stop speaking because it felt like he was getting borderline disrespectful when he was attempting to do the opposite. [ sol. ]

Beastflame approached and once more, the black oriental stayed silent. Cloudy eyes watching, and Wormbite.. was wondering if his heart wasn't getting the memo because Beansprout agreed. Allow the ceremonies to be complete, then come to a conclusion about the leadership. With a verdict of how the meeting should go, Wormbite gave a small nod of his head. Standing up taller, right. Damage control.

Maybe Raccoonear was slightly right about cats wanting to be in the center of the attention (why?) because Pebbleheart ... well, she was yelling. That was a thing. He was making a point to keep his tone level so, he stepped away from the three he had been with - padding up to her. At least, attempting to do so. Blind and all, he was off. "Rather he be Snowleap or he be Pikestar, nothing of what I have done would change. If one's best is not enough, they have to accept that - and he did. I still care for him. That is allowed to co-exist, " Ah. Wormbite .. it felt cruel, to say that. Because his friend had put .. everything into Riverclan. He had seen the light fade from his eyes once he had received the leadership position. But at the end of the day, he would be lying if he thought Snowleap would be happier as a warrior. (He hoped so. He really hoped so. )

"Everything else you said makes bile rise up in my throat, for the record. Cats die - yes, that much is obvious. However, a leader sends out a patrol to trespass on Shadowclan's territory. The patrol is slaughtered. This could have been prevented if the leader simply did not send the patrol out. Those lives are on that leader's paws because they could have been prevented. One could say the cats on the patrol could have refused. Mosstalon, Otterfluff, Reedwhisker, Whisperwave, Coyotehowl, and Pigeonpaw did not have that choice, "

"Say their names because they are not cats. They are your damned clanmates. They fought for you. You put dirt on their grave when you attempt to brush over that simple, very, core fact. " There was bitterness in his voice, and the blank and deadpan facade Wormbite had been so desperately attempting to keep up was beginning to fragment. He couldn't get Ottersplash out of his mind.

"You are making excuses for their lack of action. It is Gingerfrost's job to organize patrols! After all, lack of organization could lead to overhunting. Cats being lost. Confusion over what border has been checked, what has not. Do you want me to go on? Or are you beginning to realize not what point you have made has proven to be even decently correct and you are only proving to be a complete mousebrain?" It slipped. He swore to everyone that he was keeping a rather cool head, but Pebbleheart ... Well. Sometimes well-deserved.

The glare he gave her for her last sentence was enough than anything he could say. Wormbite was done with her - he would not argue. He stalked away because there was another cat spouting nonsense. [ ~Fawn.Heart~ ] [ iamsosorryforwormbite ]

At least Smokepaw wasn't yelling. "Smokepaw! Again, hold your damned tongue. You have no authority to be hosting voting - especially when ceremonies are attempting to be finished. A conclusion about who will lead will be reached after they are. Be patient. I will see to it that she is one of the options, so please, shut up, " Even if Wormbite disagreed, he was attempting to make a compromise here. [ Octavia! ]

There was .. a cat yelling. HHH. "Sassafraseyes. Warrior's den - now. You have made a verbal threat - I do not care if you meant it or not - and are continuing to yell. Adding absolutely nothing to the clan conversation besides disturbing it and likely any nearby apprentices or kits. Get unless you swear on your grave to behave, " [ DynaMight ]

Wormbite stood up tall, cloud eyes flickering across the gathered cats. "I respect you all to express your own opinions. However. If you yell - or screech - or scream, raising your tone above a normal speaking tone, you are being escorted to your respective den. Case and point. Do not complain. I apologize for my lack of duty as your Head Shield but for the love of someone, be civil. I do not care if you want to make a point, talk normally. If everyone talks like a sane cat, we can hear you, "He would follow suit on his promise. Returning back to Beansprout's side.

Ferretsnap said words. Loudly. But good words.

[ You have been warned! Wormbite will now start (trying) to escort cats who are actively yelling / causing chaos. Please do not yell. He is tired and wants this to be civil. So does Ghostie. Forgive me for any mistakes, it is almost 5am. I have been writing this since 2am. I am dead. ]

She was... so tired all of a sudden. Her shoulder ached, her whole body ached. And worst of all?

Everyone kept using her sisters death as an excuse to hate Pikestar.

"Stop using my sister as an excuse." She snapped, half-heartedly. She couldn't myster the rage she felt earlier; it had been swept away in the river of chaos that had developed in this Clan in mere moments. No one would listen to her, she knew that. Well, actually, she felt like she didn't know... anything.

All she wanted was for them to stop using Reedwhiskers death as an excuse.

"Leave Reedwhisker out of this, all of you. She has nothing to do with your hatred."

[SeonghwasBunnyEars]

Smokepaw sighed. "We need reasonable cats, not chaotic asswipes. Someone who deserves that position, that name, and those lives. If Stonepaw will not choose, then we will need someone to step up and actually be important. If anyone wants Pebblesplash to be leader, go to the left side of camp. If anyone wants Beansprout to be leader, go to the right. Stay in the middle if you want Stonepaw to choose. I may only be an apprentice with barely any training, but that doesn't mean don't I know my stuff. I'm not just saying this so I can worm my way up to Shield ranking, I'm saying this because I care about my clan."

“Hold on!” A worried mew escaped her jaws. A spike of rage filled her core as BeanSprout ran his mouth, “You? LEADER?” PebbleSplash laughs… “Over my dead body!” Flattening her ears, her tail lashed. “It’s sickening that your using this tragedy to promote yourself!” She didn’t want to yell anymore and quite frankly, was getting sick of this… PebbleSplash knew that the mouse she ate earlier was making’s it’s way to her throat… She swallowed back the feeling…

It wasn’t until her name was called that the feeling had returned… left side for PebbleSplash… “Okay, OKAY! Thank you for the nomination but I cannot be a leader. I haven’t even fully trained an apprentice yet! We should be leaving this to Stonepaw AFTER the meeting…!” She called , still facing her clanmates from in front of the Streamstone… Why were they still going on about this?

That’s when she heard a stressed out cry which really opened her eyes… This was really upsetting her clanmates and she needed to do something…! “You heard it from Silversnow! She doesn’t want you to use her sister as an excuse. We should be listening to eachother rather then picking sides right now…! With all due respect to all of you, if we can’t have a normal meeting, what good are we? All of us are acting like ROUGES!” She gave a glare at those speaking out.

“I may not be a high rank but I ORDER everyone to quiet down! Let PikeStar have his last meeting in peace, let the apprentices and kits move into their new ranks! This is what our fallen clan mates would have wanted!” Tears streamed down her face, but she managed to speak clearly… PebbleSplash was going to need a therapy session with StonePaw later…

A young warrior then looks at Pebblesplash, silently agreeing with her. She then dips her head and closes her eyes against the welling tears. Oh how we have fallen! She thinks to herself sadly.

"whether i mean it or not is my business alone.... why don't you worry yourself over those two idiots?" Sassafraseyes meowed curtly in stubborness "i'll pip down, but this is getting on my nerves

[shaae_26]

Beansprout was quite crazy if he thought the clan would randomly vote for him as leader. "It should be left up to Stonepaw now that Gingerfrost denied the role as leader." Duststream said, trying to make his voice heard above the chaos. "Let Starclan guide him and our clan." He added.

It was finally happening.

Everything Beechkit had dreamed of, hoped of sincs the day he could emerge from the nursery. Pikestar had just called his name for an apprentice ceremony. His. But when he heard that Stonepaw may get to decide the Clan's future, he bristled. Stars he hated that cat. And really he had no reason to. It wasn't Stonepaw's fault this was happening, some tiny part of him tried to rationalise, but his emotions got the better of him and he seethed hotly for a moment, glaring daggers at the young tom. He became an apprentice before me. It was partly his fault that my apprentice ceremony has gone like this.

Another thought hit him them. Will anyone even remember this meeting for my apprenticeship, when it was the meeting Pikestar stepped down? He directed another, more subtle stare at Pikestar and the other High Ranks as he stepped up to the spot under the Streamstone that the little gathering of cats had left. It didn't matter now. All that mattered was the he was gonna be an apprentice, and one step closer to his dream.

“Hold on!” A worried mew escaped her jaws. A spike of rage filled her core as BeanSprout ran his mouth, “You?

Brightnight heard the fellow molly shouting about the dead. Her father would have wanted peace. "The cats that we lost with the dogs would have been proud of Pikestar! We are those fallen warrior's kits, mothers, fathers, mates, and most importantly friends! I lost my father to those damn dogs I know for a god damn fact that he wouldn't want this! I'm not trying to make this about me or my father but Pebblesplash is right!" she yowled, letting her voice ring around the clearing.

Letting her bright hues gaze around her foolish clanmates the young queen yowled. "Let Pikestar finish! We shouldn't start trying to replace him as soon as the words "stepping down' come out of his mouth! What the hell is wrong with you all!? Yes we need a leader but until those apprentices and kits are done he is still our leader and he has all the knowledge, he shares tongues with Starclan, even his his last may be soon he still has. " she yowled. Her eyes blazing with fury as words of fury at the disrespect of her dear leader was meowed across the clearing. How dare they!

Swirlsplash shouted. "Lilycreek! I need you to calm her down!" She meowed. "Let Pikestar finish! Your dumb opinions are hurting your clanmates!" she snarled out loud to the warriors and other bickering. The senior warrior stretched her long and sharp claws in the soft Riverclan soil. "Enough everyone. I'm not playing around, i've mentored many cats in this clan I know how some of you act, this isn't the time for your antics, your warriors so act like it." she growled. Nudging her daughters brown flank towards Lilycreek.

"EVERYONE QUIET!" The raspy voice of the elder, Cloudpelt filled the area. "Why are we fighting like dogs over a piece of meat?" She started off, making her point. "The deputy has always become a leader after the former leader, only if the leader says not. Why is this even something worth arguing over?!" She yowled, glaring a stern glance at Beansprout. "Im not even sure Stonepaw is fully trained! This is Pikestar's decision and no cat has any word
over it!" She fully turned to Beansprout. " It's a shame your using this situation to your advantage. One that SHOULD NOT EVEN BE HAPPENING!" She faced the clan with anger in her eyes. "I cannot get a single wink of sleep without all you KIT-WARRIOR'S MAKING A FUSS!" She took a breath. And looking for any other cat's who would challenge the rules of Starclan.

[Spartan-117]

Scallywagz (for mention of 'the elder' that she agrees with. :lovesquee: )

She silently agrees with the elder as well. She looks around the Clan, shaking her head. Closing her eyes, she knows that she would not be able to speak out, but what Pondheart does know is that she will agree with whoever StarClan allows to be leader.

"I am too much of a coward to speak out myself." She whispers to herself, not close enough for anycat to hear.

[Silvershadow13]

~Silentripple~

She looks in pain at her feuding clan, they were not bonded, they were broken, they were seperated, we are lost she cries to herself nothing will fix the hole we tore today her eyes welled up this is not the clan I know...

Featherspirit and snowstripe sighed and looks down at the ground remaining quiet. They had nothing else to say as they had said their peace that they should have been thankful for pikestar

Sassafraseye's sighed heavily... "thats what i've been trying to say the whole time. I Might Be Bipolar but i Ain't Stupid. i might not actually Skin anyone alive, no i'll leave that to my Shadowclan Sister to do in her clan."

She Stood Up and Went to wards the middle of the camp.
"Well this Is very Agrivating" She Meowed now suddenly calm "Beansprout, it is disrespectful and discracful for you to make a fuss about how you think you should be the rightful leader. Pebblesplash please take a deep breath and Calm Down. If This is going to get anywhere we need to be CALM!!!" she yelled the last word. "if i can become Calm, which is Hard for me, being bipolar and having ADHD, then why on earth can't any of you calm down? the Elder's Right, you all need to shut up and let Pikestar say his Piece"

she bowed her head "all this fuss isn't good for the young apprentices and Kits that need their ceremonies... and this is very disrespectful towards them as well. what are we a bunch of kits or grown adults?" her voice got a bit quiter... she started to feel shy a bit "I think we should let them have their ceremony and be respectful for a bit, even though many of us are at odds in this situation."

"Let Stonepaw Have His Say AS Well... he may be young but he has a bright future, and starclan may choose to give them their choice. but if not we should all calmly take a vote. those that think they could be leader should be nominated by the clan, not nomanated by themselves... let the clan as a whole pick the nomanies, then let us prossed from there" She Meowed "please? i know i'm probably speaking out of turn but..." she glanced to the side "making a Ruckus is my job... so it's insulting to see this" she joked light heartedly...

Ferretsnap had reached his already thin limit of patience.

"Oh for star's- will you all just shut the hell up for a moment? Pikestar- Snowleap- whatever his name is deserves to be able to finish this meeting without everyone blatantly ignoring a single word that is being said!" he hissed, giving a pointed glare toward Pebblesplash [ ~Fawn.Heart~ ], Sassafrasseye [ DynaMight ] and Cloudypelt [ Scallywagz ], "Your yelling and 'orders' aren't helping a damn thing. Guess what, multiple others have already told everyone to let the meeting go on. You aren't special. In fact, you're just making it worse. So sit the hell down and let Pikestar speak, or get the hell out of this meeting. Even if not to save our ears from the pain of hearing you screech- shut up so Beechkit and those loners can receive their names. Then, as has been said countless times, we can deal with this whole leadership situation instead of whining like kits and wasting everyone's time! Okay? Okay."

With an irritated snort, he turned back to Pikestar (or Snowleap? He still didn't know.) and gestured for them to go on with a nod of his head. Even if he didn't like the oriental as a leader, he could still show some respect.

Sassafraseyes snapped her head in Ferretsnaps direction "how about you shut your mussle up then as well? your being just as bosy right now" she pointed out bluntly "we're just trying to help, not act as if we some kind of high and mighty group of gods" she snorted with dismissel.

"you should really watch what you say and what you acuse people of, thats a fast way to make enemies of your clanmates. Pebblesplash and Cluodypelt hve done nothing wrong! theyy ask the same as the others, so why are you singling them out? if your gonna be scolding people like your some kind of lord, scold the one that started this arguemental mess in the first place! while many believe gingerfrost is the wrong choice for the leader, thats no reason for others to be rude about it! in fact there are many cats here that should probably apologize to him for their harsh words"

whipping around towards Bitterrain she snapped at both cats "and why on earth do you think we're giving orders? orders are demands, and i haven't demanded anything, i asked! Pebblesplash while loud about it was polite enough about it and Cloudypelt is an ELDER! don't you know to respect your elders?" she snorted

with that she sat down primly and made an obvious fact that she was going to ignore their excistence for the rest of the meeting.

"EVERYONE QUIET!" The raspy voice of the elder, Cloudpelt filled the area. "Why are we fighting like dogs over a piece of meat?" She started off, making her point. "The deputy has always become a leader after the former leader, only if the leader says not. Why is this even something worth arguing over?!" She yowled, glaring a stern glance at Beansprout. "Im not even sure Stonepaw is fully trained! This is Pikestar's decision and no cat has any word
over it!" She fully turned to Beansprout. " It's a shame your using this situation to your advantage. One that SHOULD NOT EVEN BE HAPPENING!" She faced the clan with anger in her eyes. "I cannot get a single wink of sleep without all you KIT-WARRIOR'S MAKING A FUSS!" She took a breath. And looking for any other cat's who would challenge the rules of Starclan.

If people want to read ypur posts, they'll look through the thread and do so. Thank you.

If the Clanwide mention is used once more, your post(s) will be removed. Thank you for understanding :heartbounce:

Cloudypelt took a stern judgemental look at Ferretsnap. "As much as I want to claw your skull out your own head right now, you have a point. " She began, then looked angrily at Bittergrin. "Pointless agruments? You are so pointless, if I threw you to the crows they wouldn't even bother picking at your flesh! God... cats are so full of themselves these days! " She said, flicking her tail in Bittergrin's face, she turned to beachkit and the loners. "Thank you, urm... whats your name? Anyways- I don't want people to respect me for just being an Elder, but thank you." She said, her voice still a bit full of anger but a bit more friendliness in her voice. "Im so sorry you had to see Riverclan like this." She took a glare at Bittergrin- then headed to the elder's den. To hopefully die of age in her sleep and join a sensible clan- Starclan.

Cloverdust »
Cloverdust's head spun with all the arguing and commotion in the clearing, and she decided that maybe it'd be best if she slipped out and waited until it was over. Fortunately she was already near the edges of the crowd, so she simply hopped to her paws and slunk out of the camp.

[Zei]

Glisteningpaw softly slunked over to the kit "b-briarkit? uh... uh... wanta get outta here? this is... s-so loud... and s-stupid" the she-cat stammered softly in fear, her large green eyes weaving from right to left in slight panic...

"so... loud... way... too many cats" Glisteningpaw murmured...

[Pitou]

**Doeheart**

Feeling a morose, apathy she'd never before experienced, everything around her seemed to be lost in a fog of voices and commotion. Pikestar called up the kits for their ceremony and Doeheart desperately tried to move her attention and cares towards the young cats who deserved it, trying to tune out everybody around her, everybody vying for the attention that should be on the kits and apprentices. What is this clan coming to? The mention of leadership continued to arise, everybody was calling for a matter that had been addressed, beat into the ground like a dead fish. Nobody was contending that a leader would need to be found but not right now. Now wasn't the time and she was hearing more and more voices rising up about giving the young cats the attention and yet those same cats were adding their voices to the din of commotion and attention-theft, they weren't helping, and yet they were trying to make everybody see that they were. They only care about the clan insofar as it makes them look good... She shocked herself, where had this pessimism come from? When had she become so skeptical of her clanmates' motives? Her eyes went to Pikestar. It was with Pikestar. She'd watched Kestrelstar grow in his leadership and become a respectable cat, a cat that many in Riverclan still hadn't agreed with and had unfavorable comments for, but upon his death he mostly received respect and mourning. Skystar had been a leader which had given even her reason to worry for the future of Riverclan with questionable ideas and less than encouraging leadership. And then had come Pikestar. Pikestar brought in a leadership that at the least allowed Doeheart to return to her natural state of not feeling like she needed to concern herself with clan politics. Maybe he wasn't as active and prepared for the role as Riverclan needed at the moment but there was never a moment their loyalty or character was up for question. When had Riverclan become so thankless and unforgiving, so lawless and vitriolic? Pikestar's treatment had set in a new era for Doeheart, an era she wasn't sure she'd recover from. After the betrayal of her first love, then her beloved nephew's death, and then the gradual losses of each of her kits...She thought she'd brought in a new chapter with Aldermane and their kits she carried, but now she wasn't sure what kind of clan she was bringing them into and, a new raw emotion hit her...regret.

She wished everybody would just stop...just stop and let the meeting move on so she could try to find some semblance of normalcy in which to pretend like everything could go back to normal...

"Bluestone, Pebblesplash, Spirittail. Ashpaw. Despite my direct order to not yell, clearly you cannot handle that. You are being disrespectful to the kits who need to become apprentices, the outsiders joining who I am sure would like a proper starsdamn name, and the apprentices who need to be reassigned. By yelling, you are making the situation worse. I understand you are attempting to help, and I acknowledge that. Thank you, but I will handle it. Return to your respective den unless you can genuinely make a case to me that you will be able to not yell. If not, I will come and get you when voting is ready. " Wormbite hoped for the love of Starclan they didn't try to argue against him. It was a fool's wish, they would. Most definitely they would. Because they couldn't see how yelling at everyone to stop yelling was in fact, making matters worse.

[ ~Fawn.Heart~ ~*Hope*~ ~_LuzuraTheTitan_~ ]

There was a slow turn to Sassafrasseyes. A very, slow turn. She only yelled one word which was Wormbite was proud of. Still disrupting the meeting, unfortunately. Progress? "... Sassafrasseyes, thank you for not yelling, but still disrupting the meeting. " He was at the point all the warriors were being handled like kits, "but either sit next to me or return to your den. " She was getting two choices because Wormbite was attempting to gentle parenting you see. Would it work??? [ DynaMight ]

[Ian]

A paw brushing against him caught Tinystorm's attention, and he glanced down to the fuzzy little cat he'd seen earlier. The child pursued by dogs. ".. Any cat worth their weight would have done the same. Cats like Snakeheart and Snowleap can rot in the choices they've made - they've earned no right to the name of our Clan." Why nothing was done, Tinystorm did not know - but it seemed fitting given the circumstances. "Take this chance to pick your allies wisely. Even the tastiest looking fish can have maggots inside." [ Lillian ]

To Gingerfrost, he kept it short. "Put your paws where your mouth are. That's the only way your words will mean anything." Where Gingerfrost took that was on him, but frankly Tinystorm had no more to say on that matter. [ Estelle ]

Silversnow. This one was special. Tinystorm didn't even spare her a glance. "I'll excuse your idiocy on the assumption you have sand in your ears. If you had been keeping up with Clan events, you would have known I was on the patrol that found the dogs to begin with... Bubbleheart, Mosstalon and I were ambushed in the thicket. He was killed, we barely escaped with our lives. I was the one who alerted the Clan of their presence.

"It was Snowleap who answered the call, as he should have. But his patrol didn't step a paw outside of camp. I know it's hard for you to understand this, Silversnow, but when you're a Clan leader you can't flake on a major issue and expect things to turn out fine. Dung can and will get worse. How the hell do you expect the Clan to follow suit on a patrol when their own goddamn leader thinks it's fine to put things off?? Leading is by example - and you've all fallen into his slump. If you can't lead your freakin' Clan when they need you, don't be a leader." Case closed. Assuming Snowleap was too unstable himself, he could have directed anyone to lead the patrol - but he let it fester and die. Had Tinystorm not been trying to recover from almost dying, he would have done it himself. He-- along with everyone, had been under the impression their dear leader had it handled.

But no. And here they were, bickering with cats too blind to see beyond their own muzzle. [ puppeteer ]

"Peb--" He was going to tear into the next cat, lip curled when Snowleap began again. Well, good riddance. This solved one issue - but they had many more to contend with. Tinystorm did not trust Snowleap, had no reason to, especially after the patrol failure. It screamed unreliability to him, and paired with what the kid said... "Before you get too sentimental over Gingerfrost's leadership, consider this: he hasn't proven he can handle the rank he's been in yet. Why the hell would you want another leader without merit." When he said they should start playing ThunderClan, he didn't mean literally. Pushing Gingerfrost into leadership seemed like a disaster waiting to happen.

Blah blah blah. A bunch of chaos that wasn't particularly useful, and to Tinystorm just outright dumb. Bear doesn't feel like responding to it. "Snowleap. Finish this meeting - we'll go from there." In fact, he wanted to question the Snakeheart thing more later. It seemed odd this subject was buried with the kid. [ Captain / @anyone else]

Talonkit
╚══════ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══════╝

The Maine Coon kit blinked at the surprisingly reasonable words that came out of Tinystorm's jaws. Despite having been in StarClan for fifteen moons, he was still only a kit. And the way he had died had caused trust and abandonment issues to blossom. Talonkit wasn't sure what he was feeling now, but he leaned into the warrior as Tinystorm began to tear into the other cats.

And then the meeting devolved into the chaos of cats yelling at each other to shut up, Pikestar, or was it Snowleap now, stepping down, and Gingerfrost remaining deputy. And more cats telling each other to shut up. Talonkit thought he heard something about a rebellion in there too. He didn't want to be here anymore.

Sassafraseyes let out a snarl and, being as stubborn as she was, paddled right up to Wormbite, then walked past him to loaf on the ground facing away from them with their head firmly pressed into the ground "i'm not moving an inch" look apon their rebelious face as they pretended to be snoozing... occationally making a snorting sound that sounded like a fart....


they were a stinker and they knew it... thats why her mother could never keep up with her as a kit...

then again... she smirked softly... her mother was the one that ended up climbing the den walls and parking themselves on the top of the den without a word...

PebbleSplash wasn’t having it, not at all…! It was quite hypocritical how WormBite had once been yelling out, and now was yelling out again! She was very sure that if it was BeanSprout speaking, they’d probably get by it… favoring others was very common in these clans… Wormbite, who was disrespectful enough to defy their leader, was trying to tell her what to do. It was clear they had no respect for anyone but themselves and those with the same political views… ew, politics… those words made her want to gag…

But, what PebbleSplash knew was that she needed to respect herself. Without self respect, how would she ever get by? Giving her chest a lick, she shook her head… no… She was not leaving. The molly would have to be dragged out if they really wanted her to leave this meeting. A sway of her tail and an intense gaze said that she wasn’t moving wether he liked it or not… Though she could have said one of many things, she kept her mouth shut, quietly turning her gaze up to her leader and away from her clan…

[BEAR.]

This was getting freakin' stupid. It was one thing to argue a point, but many of these cats were broken records crying like newborns.

Tinystorm was too drained to care. His point was made, and Snowleap and Gingerfrost had listened-- it struck home. Regardless of how the others might feel, that was what mattered to him. Being an authority figure meant being responsible for the well-being of the Clan as a whole, not just fragments.

Too many cats didn't look at the big picture. It's no wonder the meeting dissolved into further chaos - they refused to listen to anything but themselves.

Even leaning down to scoop up Talonkit was rough and elicited a short grunt, but Tinystorm wanted to get the kid outta there. He seemed overwhelmed, and frankly Tinystorm needed to go back to resting too. Something about getting mauled a few times really took a number out on him.

With the kid in grasp, he departed to a den. Zzzzzzz

Blinking in confusion, Swirlsplash gazed at the warrior. you could have said it without the tears...it's not that deep. She thought, stifling a laugh. "I agree with you." she meowed quietly and pointlessly to the cat. Brighnight had stopped butting in. Thank the stars! If her pregnant daughter lost even one kit due to these dumb warriors stressing her out she might have to go rouge and kill a few cats.

Wondering how her daughter was doing she let her silvery grey gaze flash around her clanmates until they rested on a light brown pelt with dark brown stripes and sharp blue eyes. It was truely hard looking into her daughters eyes as they resembled her now dead father so much. "Brightnight?" she meowed as she padded silently to her kit's side. "Everything alright?"

Brightnight turned her worried, stressed, and fear filled gaze to her mother. "Me? Oh...not that much but We'll live." she muttered. Wrapping her tail softly over her injured and pregnant belly. "It's ok mother, really it is. Don't worry about me and worry about what were going to do with our Dark Forest bound clanmates." she growled

There was one thing she hated about crowds. She didn't mind all the cats, all the chatter, or all the until they had.

It was the noise. Dozens of voices surging together to form a louder voice, shrieking their views to the high heavens about. She nearly whimpered; she hated loud noises. Hated, hated, hated.

She resisted the urge to cower, to hide, as she talked with Raccoonear, when Wormbite jumped in. She didn't mind (it wasn't like she was in the right place to), and if she yelled, she felt like she'd never be able to stop, until her throat tore itself apart to shreds, and then she'd be left with her own cries. Wormbite said, rather unoffensively, that she had more potential to Gingerfrost. She couldn't help it but, she felt just a little proud. She let herself enjoy his comment for a little bit, then stamped it out lest she get any ideas. Still, she allowed herself a rueful smile at Wormbite. "Yes," she said in a soft, slow voice. "That is a bit of a problem, isn't it? I can see where you're going with that, Wormbite. May we use this as a guide for leadership." She murmured that last bit to herself, though she wouldn't have minded if Wormbite or Raccoonear overheard. [ x ghostie rowan - Raccoonear mention ]

After she was sure neither of them had anything left to say, she dipped her head to excuse herself, and trudged back to her spot. Goosecurl intercepted her, and she was happy to see a friend. They laid a tail gently over her back, and she leaned her head on their shoulder, her expression unreadable. "I'm okay," she found herself saying, even as something rattled the cage of her mind, screaming at her for lying. Goosecurl then went to talk to a kit, ordering them to sit next to her. She didn't hear the name. [ wren ]

Beansprout appeared, proclaiming that he should be Riverclan leader. Frankly, Lilycreek and her roleplayer were tired enough not to care. Maybe she would have opinions as soon as she was rested, but right now, as long as the kits would be okay, she didn't care. Beansprout turned to her, and her heart gave a weary tug, readying herself to receive his order. He asked her to take Briarkit back to the nursery, which she nodded to. Beansprout then turned on Goosecurl, and she gave a rare noise of protest. "Don't yell... please," she pleaded softly. "You've made your point, Beansprout. Now please, I ask of you to quiet. There are plenty who are tired of this, including me. Contrary to the voices in this clearing, I think we've yelled on long enough. It's the kits' nap time, and I will not tolerate any disturbances to rest. Excuse me, please." She said it politely, but in a stern voice, feeling ridiculous. Still, her expression made it clear she wasn't going to accept any interjections from him, or anyone else. [ vellichor ]

She walked over to Briarkit, her face softening. She had yelled on, which hurt Lilycreek's ears, but she said nothing. "Little Briar," she said in a softly, concerned tone. "It's your nap time. You look tired." She lowered herself to the kit's height. "How about we take a nap, yeah? To rest your head?" Her heart gave a twinge. Briarkit was supposed to have her ceremony, soon. "I know you have your ceremony coming up, but you need rest. I promise you, you'll have it once you get better, m'kay?" [ jupiter ]

A particularly loud voice carried over to her, and she paused at what the voice was saying. Pebblesplash. The queen had never imagined Pebblesplash to say something like that, since she'd always thought of the warrior as a polite presence. [ ~Fawn.Heart~ ]

"Pebblesplash," she said with a sad expression. How could anyone see this situation as a way to gain approval. "Please, I understand you're angry but don't reduce Beansprout to that. And you're right, you know. This has gone on long enough." She hung her head sadly.

With that, the queen placed a gentle, guiding tail on Briarkit's back, silently asking for permission to carry her. Once she had the answer, she would then carry Briarkit to the nursery, and gently lay her down to rest.

Stars, she was tired.

Tawnythorn
As the chaos unfolded around him, he recognized this was the most lively RiverClan had been in ages, and the irony of it being on the heels of a dog attack that'd left most of them half-conscious.

Everyone had something to say, some meaningless opinion to throw into the mix as if their individual voice could make a difference in the direction of the Clan. Tawnythorn wrote it off as wanting to hear themselves talk and feel like their impact mattered more than a noise frequency lost to time. Souls desperately trying to create a dent in the flow of events during the fleeting moments they existed among them so they could say their life had been worth something.

[pxxylo]

raccoonear awaited to make her move, not replying to what beansprout or wormbite had said to her. rather, she walked away and sat down in position for her next move, a calm and resolving one of her own. one that would free her roleplayer. she awaited, not taking to heart or mind a single thing that was said to or about her by the two cats she only wanted to sort things out with because it no longer mattered. she'd say goodbye to snowleap and stonepaw, her dearest friends, then it'd be time to go. she gave snowleap and encouraging smile. it was nice to be able to call him the name she called her when the two met and connected.

whether she'd been chased off by the fear of having beansprout, a cat who she doubted would be a good leader, or many even fear of being outcasted after being talked down publicly by multiple cats. maybe she was just tired, it was time to focus on her own life, not the life of others.

Springkit
long furred torbie - 1 moon - She/Her
Springkit hadn't even bothered to first come out of the nursery having no interest with whatever was going outside. She had been ignoring all the commotion, taken to drawing the in the dirt at first. All the yelling to was starting to agitate her , too much commotion kept going on and on like it was never going to stop. Eventually she had enough trying to ignore it, and wobbled her way outside to poke her multi colored head outside then the rest of her self. "Loud" she mumbled to herself as she watched

Beansprout (https://beansite.carrd.co/)
RiverClan Warrior

// disclaimer: beansprout's opinions do not necessarily reflect my own. \\

The first thing the siamese warrior registered was the gentle touch of Wormbite's [ x ghostie ] nose to his body, and it made his skin prickle with electricity. Something about that small, nearly unseen gesture made Beansprout relax a bit. This was the calm before the storm, if you will. Because, of course, his Clanmates would misconstrue his words and only hear what they wanted to. But it was nice to know that he had someone in his corner.

It was then that Pebblesplash, Cloudpelt, and Sassafraseye piped up, their scathing voices bearing down on Beansprout like a crashing wave. Each one of them screeched about the same thing: how dare he make a grab at power right now? They would never support him as leader. Only, that wasn't what was happening, was it? With a dismissive snort, he confronted all three cats one at a time.

"Pebblesplash [ ~Fawn.Heart~ ], no need to be so dramatic. If you listened to more than your own words, maybe you'd have heard that Stonepaw asked me who I would put in charge. This isn't a 'grab for power', as many of you claim. Purely speculation. And I would be happy to let some other cat lead if they proved before now that they were truly dedicated to RiverClan, and weren't just doing the bare minimum to scrape by and stay out of trouble. " Beansprout wasn't yelling anymore. He knew that helped nobody and nothing. But with Smokepaw's [ Octavia! ] suggestion of Pebblesplash as a leader candidate, he felt a scornful laugh bubble up in his throat. "Please, tell me why Pebblesplash should even be considered for one second any different than Pikestar and the ones who came before him. When was the last time she went on patrol? What about hunted, or even guarded the camp? Do you even see her around camp? What about the dogs? Pebblesplash doesn't bear a single wound on her. Where was she when our Clan desperately needed warriors to defend this camp? Because she sure as hell wasn't here."

Back to Pebblesplash herself, again. "First of all, you have no right to give orders. And second of all, aren't you the one yelling, adding to the problem?" The anger in Beansprout's blood was turning to ice, and coldness laced his words. He was tired of the continuous shouting, each cat thinking they were going to be the one to tame this unruly crowd when in reality, they were simply adding to it. "If you want a normal meeting like you say, sit down. Use your inside voice. Yelling isn't helping anyone."

Now, it was Cloudpelt's [ Scallywagz ] turn. "Like I told Pebblesplash, my words were nothing more than me answering a question to the best of my knowledge. If I truly wanted to overthrow RiverClan, don't you think it would have been done long ago?" There wasn't much emotion besides coolness in Beansprout's voice anymore. "And, actually, whether Gingerfrost becomes leader or not isn't up to Pikestar. It's up to Gingerfrost himself, and he has already declined. Don't you think it would be disrespectful to push a cat into a position they acknowledge isn't right for them or the Clan? Or are you too stubborn to think outside of the 'traditional Clan ways'? You're an elder, for Star's sake. You above any other cat should know what it's like to have good leadership and to have bad leadership. And if you think this was the best we could get, clearly you shouldn't be here." He turned his back on the elder, leaving Cloudpelt to rant at his tail.

Last but not least. "Sassafrasseye. [ DynaMight ]" With a dismissive flick of his ear, Beansprout didn't even give Sassafraseye his gaze. He simply looked over her shoulder as he spoke. "I'm sure you heard me earlier, and I'm not going to repeat myself. So let me address your words. Like I told Pebblesplash, you yowling your head off about staying calm and quieting down isn't actually helping the situation, believe it or not. That, and do you really think it's best to call for yet another vote when many cats have made it explicitly clear that the focus needs to be on ceremonies and meetings, not on derailing this with nonsensical votes over and over again? Perhaps take your own advice to focus on the kits and 'let them have their ceremony and be respectful for a bit, even though many of us are at odds in this situation.'" There was something so satisfying about calling out hypocritical behavior and throwing words back into the faces of cats who just liked to clamor on and on.

And then, as Wormbite tried oh so hard to reason with the unreasonable, Sassafrasseye, once again, seemed to throw out her own words and began acting like a spoiled kit. It didn't bother Beansprout too much, though. "Well, at least she'll be quiet if she plays dead. That's one screaming cat down and... a whole Clanful to go. One at a time, Worm." Beansprout gently tried to wrap his tail around his companion, hopefully offering a bit of comfort or stabilization. "It's a shame this cat, of everyone, shares a prefix with one of my former mentors." The last part was muttered quietly to himself.

Typically, he wouldn't acknowledge the random one-off complaints and wails, but Spirittail's [ Theabsolutecosmo ] wailing about how disappointed StarClan was with them made bitter laughter trickle from Beansprout. "Do you really think the Star Cats were proud of this Clan? Of the way we sat like lazy bumps for moons, never challenging each other and considering changing?" With a look at the ground and a strong feeling of grief he had been ignoring, Beansprout felt emotion thicken his mew. "If the Stars were so proud before, and still took our beloved Clanmates away, what will they do to us now?" He choked back tears. This wasn't the time or place. "You talk about giving Pikestar respect, and here you are, crowing like an annoying seagull, just like many others. What makes you so different? Why is your howling justified, but everyone else's is immature and disrespectful?" With a cold stare, Beansprout found his attention demanded one last time by another cat.

At the sight of Lilycreek [ sol. ] and her evident exhaustion, Beansprout felt a stab of pity for the forever queen. As she carried Briarkit off, thankfully, the siamese dipped his head respectfully and gratefully. "Thank you." His words were steady and clear. And now, he could hopefully turn his focus back to the meeting instead of endless screeching and yowling.

[carmen]

His ear twitched as yet another cat insulted him. Okay, he was 8, and okay, he ate a rock. But that was one time. Did anyone see him forcing others to eat rocks? Had he killed anyone by healing before? He was allowed to dislike whatever foods he disliked, and just because rocks were better than fish didn't mean that he was stupid. Actually, apparently that was important because that seemed to be the only reason other cats hated him. They were entitled to their own opinions, but like, come on! Be dramatic! He didn't want to be hated because of his dietary needs.

But then Beastboy started talking, and his attention changed to the weirdo. Beastflame was smart, you didn't see him judging him for silly reasons. No, instead Beastie was standing between the Streamstone and Riverclan's resident idiot, something that sent a surge of respect through Stonepaw. Out of everyone yelling and growling and generally being mean, Beastflame was actually smart. He wasn't claiming that they should vote, he wasn't claiming that Pike was bad or that Gingerfrost was going to be a failure. He was being impartial and had a goal and was actually being helpful and sort of... nice? Nice in a Beastboy way, and to Stonepaw, that made him even better. "Thank you."

Apparently his stuttering jumble of a brain had not spit out the words he had been hoping to say. He couldn't blame Wormbite for having to ask for an explanation, and given that the older guy wasn't one of the many yelling, he found himself trying his best to supply one. "Er, improvement. The bossy fellow wants no Pikestar and no Gingerfrost and I want to know what he would like them to have done instead of what they did? You know, Gingerfrost sent out his patrols, Pikestar exiled the bad cats, he tried his best to stop wars, he taught kits. If that's not good enough, what were they supposed to do?"

Bri was the next one to speak, and it had him flinching, everything was too loud. Still, her last words echoed some of his own questions. They were family. Fawnlight and OldCatPike were brothers, and Beansprout was part of that family, so why was Beansprout so mean to him? Why was he being so disrespectful? His eyes rolled at Icefury, who, like the other half of the cats there, was just repeating the same rude things that had been uttered over and over again. Another cat of which he had no respect for, especially considering his next move was to storm off into a den. Especially after he had asked for the ceremonies to continue, right after he had caused another disruption. As if he wasn't part of the reason the meeting was continuing.

He was trying so, so hard not to cast judgements. He had talked to Beansprout for stars sake, yet everyone else was just making it so difficult. Even tempered nature was getting torn to shreds. Another cat brought up the rocks, and he twitched his ear and turned aside. Anyone who had to insult his sister with his own mistake didn't have something important to say. Once again, Goosecurl was intelligent, and once again, Tinystorm opened his pathetic little mouth to speak stupid little words, and he turned aside, staring back at Beansprout. He would not look at the traitor. He would not acknowledge his presence.

He did not like Beansprout, but Beansprout was not that stupid. He was not Tinystorm, at least Stonepaw hoped not. Tinystorm couldn't listen, he couldn't do anything but hold on to his own stupid visage, acting as if he was some great savior, and if that was who Stonepaw was trying to reason with, he would fail, and failing now was not an option he very much liked. And then another cat took over on the yelling front, and he was trying not to flinch away from the sounds of Pebblesplash and Swiftsplash and Blue. He couldn't process the words, heck, he couldn't process his own thoughts. Just a few short sentences from Mistcloud, a few short words that had him standing back up. At least someone seemed to understand- someone seemed to understand without having to yell.

The subject of the matter finally opened his mouth, and Stonepaw had to fight against pushing through the crowd to get to him. He wanted to give reassurance, to stand there and show that he could be strong, but was that really the right move right now? Right now, he had to stay beside Minnowpaw, stay close to the instigator. He needed to be in the throng, to know everything that was happening, even if he didn't like it. This is what Cloudedcry had meant. This is what he had meant when he said that he might not be able to depend on his clan. So, he supposed, this is what it was for. But if anyone dared to kick out OldCat, OldCat who was trying to help, OldCat who had a family, teeth would be bared. That was not a slay.

Next was Gingerfrost, with the second shock of the day. He could have swarmed his heart stopped for a moment, and his mouth fell open. No way. That was proving them right, wasn't it? Doing what they wanted, not what was good. They were bullies, Icefury and Beansprout and Tinystorm, none of them deserved to be there, not when they talked like that, not when they did this to others, broke them open and picked at the remains like vultures. It was all so awful, as if it wasn't the fault of cats like that, that the leader wasn't seem to be good enough. What did they want instead? A tyrant? For Pikestar to be replaced by a new cat every six moons? Stupid, stupid words.

Idiot spoke and finally, he got the answer he'd been waiting for. Well, excuse you, I can make good decisions.[ He'd choose someone good and leader-like, Raccoonear or Gingerfrost or Beastflame. Well, not Gingerfrost, he supposed. There weren't many good options. Beansprout apparently disagreed.

"You?" Incredulous. Acting in situations like this seemed like the good thing to do, now was the time they needed action. Why would they need fighters in times of peace? Inconceivable. He wouldn't allow it. Lips curled back, as he insulted Wormbite and Raccoonear and Pikestar and Gingerfrost. "I thought you liked Wormbite though." He hadn't really meant to say it, but that was the truth, wasn't it? They were besties, right? It seemed like someone who wanted to be leader should at least show loyalty to those who mattered, those who had done well. Apparently they hadn't done well enough for him, and that made Stonepaw nervous.

"Woah, woah, woah. No more voting, we're done with the voting." Blueberries and strawberries, all this voting. Bri was not doing too hot, by the way her words were slurring. That was... not good. Why hadn't she been brought to him? Hello?? Mr. Healer here, he knew how to deal with that stuff. The fact that, one again, his abilities were called into question by Ferretsnap, Stonepaw felt he had to say something. "Hey Mr, I can do my job." He couldn't be chill with the constant bashing of his capabilities, not when it was an insult to the memory of Fawnlight. Everything he knew reflected Fawnlight and it wasn't fair for cats who had never asked for his help to judge his ability to do so.

While Beansprout was slipping into the point of no return, Wormbite seemed to be redeeming himself. Ope, he slipped back into that whole. He had been doing so well sounded like he didn't hate them, but all of the sudden, they were failures again? Gee whiz. But then he said he'd get rid of the ones who were too loud, so maybe he wasn't too bad. He was actually doing stuff, stuff was better than words.

Ayayaya screaming lady was back at it, and while he agreed on the whole with Cloudpelt, he didn't feel like pointing out that, yes, he was trained. Another thing from Ferretsnap, this time not denouncing something had Stonepaw nodding. Could everyone stop telling everyone else to shut up? It seemed rather repetitive. Wormbite held his promise and began to move the disruptors (minus Tinystorm) out of the clearing. +1 Stonepaw points - keeping promises.

He turned to smile at Stripeycat, but the sudden feeling of calm was interrupted by, you guessed it, Beansprout. Honestly though, who were these Star cats and what did they have to do with the clan? They didn't seem like they had much to do with, well, anything.

briarkit

Crouching in a pained loaf on the ground, ears pinned to her head, Briarkit let out a low moan as she saw an apprentice approach her out of the corner of her eye. The molly blinked up at the apprentice through unfocused eyes, and was struggling to find words to answer when Lilycreek came padding up. Relief pulsed through her, along with sadness. Another moment she needed her Dad. And he wasn't here. A soft sob bubbled in her throat, and she slumped into a loafing position, breath trembling. "I'mmadathim." She groaned, lip quivering as she glared at the entrance. Like she expected her father to burst in at any moment. She grew quieter to become more articulate. If only slightly. "Why is he never here. I want a dad, I want him to be here." Her head drooped, and she nodded for Lilycreek to pick her up. Just as the molly picked her up, her legs gave out and she was completely slack in the molly's jaws, covering her face to hide the angry tears that dribbled down her face.

"I could be dead and he wouldn't even care. He's never here and I miss him. I miss my Daddy, I want my Daddy. I want a family that talks to me, none of them talk to me, they don't even come to say hi, Lily. I miss my family. I miss them. I want to be good enough but I don't know HOW. I don't know what to do." Her head split with every sob, but she allowed Lilycreek to carry her back to her nest. Her lonely, stupid nest. Where she used to share with her siblings, all three. Where she never shared it with a parent. Then, Stonepaw was too special to share a nest with her. Antkit left. Briarkit limply curled into a weak, loose ball and closed her eyes, covering her ears and tried to fall asleep in her nest, silent tears dripping down her face. She just wanted a family who liked her. She wanted a family who stayed. She wanted a family who would spend time with her. She missed the old days. When her family had time for her. When she wasn't seen as a dumb, hotheaded kit. As a burden.

God, she was so tired of it.

Stormkit let out a bubbly giggle as Grand-Pike licked her cheek, he was such a big cat. Not as big as Dada though - no, never, he was the coolest. She would try to return the little licks, but his nose was a bit close by and .. it was tempting so, she may have ended up nibbling on Grand-Pike's pink nose. She blinked up warmly at him, nodding her little head up and down. "Oookiee, " She squeaked, she would be a good little storm. MHM.

Her eyes shined with wonder at the offer and that was enough to get Stormkit jumping up and down. "EERP!! EEP!! EEPE!!!" Squealing with all her might, she would attempt to affectionately headbutt Grand-Pike's cheek before scurrying back to family. Little tail wagging back and forth because she was excited, she wanted to be like the BIG KITS and play MOSSBALL!!

It was beginning to get super loud, but Stormkit didn't really care. She had a one-track goal on her mind. The meeting was long forgotten as she returned to her sisters. Bouncing on her paws, she was so hyped now. She couldn't sit still for the rest of the meeting. So, Stormkit ran through Cloudjumper's legs and back into the nursery.

[pxxylo]

raccoonear made her way to stonepaw, wanting to comfort him in the buffer time between the end of the ceremonies and now, and whatever other big event was to happen. "i know it's confusing, but piketsar was not thrown off of the streamstone, he wanted to step down. this was just the last drop he needed to flood that river, i guess. but dont sweat too much about it, the forest still grows on." she used her tail to pat him on the back a bit before curling it neatly around her paws, now blocking out all the stuff that everyone was saying. focus on the ceremonies, maybe even go personally congratulate everyone mentioned sense it's yoir last time to.

Swirlsplash purred calmingly to the younger cat. "What's up darling?" she smiled.

"Is PikeStar in trouble? Why does he have nine lives? Is Starclan another clan? What is happening?" She said all her questions in one whisper. This was getting confusing...

"Is PikeStar in trouble? Why does he have nine lives? Is Starclan another clan? What is happening?" She said all her questions in one whisper. This was getting confusing...

Swirlsplash gave a hushing purr. "Pikestar is not in trouble. He just feel he can not lead anymore. It is his wish and we must help him fullfill it by giving our acceptance and respect. He has nine lives given to him by Starclan so that he may live and fight for his clan. Once he steps down or all lives are used in battle of sickness for his clan and family is when his rein ends and the deputy becomes leader." she explained.

Looking calmly at the little blue cat. Giving a cute smile she meowed. "Ahh. Starclan, there our ancestors. Whisperwave, my mate who died in the battle with the dogs is now there, watching over and protecting his clan". Or he's in the Dark Forest, planning all of our deaths with a smile. She thought, though didn't voice her thoughts to the young cat in fear of scaring her away.

Berryflare stayed in her shadowy area. She wanted too yell at these disgusting cats and their stupid opinions. She just wanted too yowl the loudest she could, but she would be escorted away or something. So she stayed quiet and kept her thoughts in her head, not out of her mouth. Maybe, hopefully the chaos of the meeting would be resolved when they voted and finished chanting the Beechkit's apprentice name, when the time came. Hopefully.

[Captain]

PIKESTAR

As he would call forth the newest members of their clan, along with little Beechkit, the large dark-furred tomcat couldn’t help but feel bad for them in this very moment. When the RiverClan leader had met each of these kids out in their territory, he had promised them family and safety, but how could he promise that now? Clanmates who were once united as one hissed and shouted at one another like they were in rival clans. When Pikestar awoke in his den this morning, he was not expecting to stand up here right now as Snowleap once again. Despite everything though, it felt nice to be called that name again. He liked his warrior name, he always had. It had a lot of wonderful memories behind it, and they were honestly relieved to reclaim that part of who they were again. Just because he wasn't a leader didn't mean that there wasn't a cat that could be. For now, Pikestar wanted to focus on these important ceremonies, finish up this meeting and then travel to the Starcave to give up his lives. A simple plan of action was what kept the tomcat afloat and calm during this difficult time. Young July was the first to creep forward, looking rather nervous amongst the arguing clan cats. If he had known that today would've been like this, then he would have done so many things differently. The oriental tomcat had accepted his fate and what had happened, but it was not fair to the children who suffered through the hostile shouting and arguing.

However, before he could focus on that anymore, the voice of his deputy rang through the crowd and Pikestar couldn’t help but feel his heart drop into the pit of his stomach. Gingerfrost wouldn’t take his place? The dark-furred tom’s shoulders sagged slightly. Of course. Back when he became leader of RiverClan all those moons ago, so much pressure was put onto him to do better than Skystar. Gingerfrost would’ve had ten times, no a thousand times more of that pressure to do better than he ever did in the leadership position. His deputy was doing what Pikestar should’ve done eight moons ago: said no. The ginger-furred tomcat turned his head and looked up at the RiverClan leader, murmuring an apology. Something about that caused an ache in his soul. It seemed like just yesterday he was thinking of ways that the two of them could become closer, and lead RiverClan better, become something like Twilightstar and Fallownose. Now the world they had built was crumbling apart and other cats were taking charge. Would the two of them ever speak again after this awful day? Pikestar did not know the answer to that anymore. "It's alright, Gingerfrost, I understand." He remarked, his tone soft and even before dipping his head to the tomcat. Of course, such an announcement brought more arguing and it honestly made the oriental tom rather irritated. Then there was Beansprout, claiming that he could be their next leader. He certainly had the motivation and confidence to do so, but no matter what, Pikestar felt like it wasn't really his decision to make. Plus, the scarred siamese tomcat seemed to understand that he was a warrior, not a leader. He was better at following orders, not giving them. It was just who he was, and he didn't mind being that cat. He was happy.

That aside, Beechkit was next to come up, staring up at Pikestar. Did the kitten resent him for making his ceremony happen during such a terrible meeting? Maybe so. But it was better than to wait for another meeting, right? Cloud soon joined the other two cats underneath the Streamstone, silent and orderly. Did he regret joining RiverClan now? He could hardly ponder such a thing before more clanmates started yelling and attempting to take charge, making the heat of anger bubble within him. They were a whisker away from just screaming at everyone to just shut the hell up and behave. But knowing these cats, it wouldn't stop anyone. Blue was next to show up, bounding up to be beside Beechkit, looking rather excited despite all the chaos. More and more arguing and shouting and just... It was making Pikestar lose his mind and he wanted to just snap, but he fought to keep his composure. For the good of these kids, he focused on them alone, wanting them all to know that he didn't forget them, that their ceremonies still meant something. It was a surprise Oleander didn't step forward.

Pikestar decided to then start with the two youngest of the bunch and work from there, keeping his partial gaze fixed on the kids below. "Oleander [ Octavia! ] and July [ Catherine ], from this moment forth you shall be known as Ivykit and Sootkit. Honorary kittens of RiverClan. You shall remain in the nursery with Lilycreek and the rest of your denmates until you reach the age of six moons." The oriental longhair dipped his head to Sootkit and then to Ivykit, wherever she was in the crowd.

Next was the apprentices. "Beechkit [ Cinderspirit ], you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Beechpaw. Your mentor will be Mistycloud [ Kay~ ]." The molly had been without an apprentice of her own since Bouncepaw had desired another mentor, so this was her second chance that Pikestar was finally giving her. He dipped his head to the newly-named apprentice and then turned to Blue and Cloud with a small smile resting upon his face. "From this moment forth, you are both honorary RiverClan apprentices. Blue, you shall be known as Blueberrypaw [ ~'Atlas-The-Lemon'~ ] and Cloud [ Archjay ], you shall be known as Cloudpaw. Your mentors are Swiftsplash [ |~Ju-Ju-Is-A-Maniac~| ] and Silentripple [ Silvershadow13 ] respectively." Pikestar gave a small sigh, glancing around at the cats below before continuing on. "This meeting had gone on longer than anticipated, so reassignments will happen during RiverClan's next meeting. To apprentices who still need training, please do reach out to a trusted warrior and they'll be happy to train you. I am genuinely sorry for the mess that this meeting has become for all of you." The sun was nearly gone completely over their horizon, and they were all running out of time.

"Pondwhisker [ puppeteer ]. It is time." The longhaired RiverClan feline meowed, seeking out the elderly tomcat in the clowder below, "RiverClan, I need you all to listen up! Pondwhisker has something he would like to say to everyone." From that point, Pikestar grew silent and gave the older clanmate the spotlight, praying to the moon that everyone else would do the same. This meeting was almost done.

Silentripple

When Pikestar called her name, the tabby molly looked up at her leader, shocked by this and dipped her head in respect of the leader's choice going over to Cloudpaw (That's the one I'm mentoring right? Archjay ) she dipped her head to them and said quietly,
"I'm Silentripple, your mentor" giving them a small smile the feline turned her striped head back towards the meeting, her attention given to Pondwhisker for their announcement.

[SeonghwasBunnyEars]

[ ~'Atlas-The-Lemon'~ ]
Swirlsplash's eyes lit up as she looked at Blue. Now named Blueberrypaw. "Well look at that little one! Guess your stuck with me!" she purred. Touching noses softly with the apprentice as she smiled brightly. Well well! The apprentice she knew and thought of as a sweet and innocent cat would learn to maintain that image. But be a fierce warrior on the inside, burning with spirit and loyalty to her clan. "Welcome to Riverclan Blueberrypaw." she smiled.

Hawksun yawned. Not bothering to call the names as the young tom sighed. "Congrats." he murmured, not caring if the cats could hear him.

Foxmoon sat beside his best friend. Hawksun always acted like he desired Foxmoon, but he never took it to heart.

[SpiritedWarrior]

Weaselfang

The pure chaos that was assumed after the dog attack was very unneccessary, but Weaselfang understood every one of his Clanmate's opinions on the situation. Pikestar shouldn't apologize for something he couldn't control, but considering we all lost someone dear to us, I can understand his motive to apologize. Even if it was his fault, screwing up is something we all do. Gingerfrost was the next to be blamed, though the accusations that came his way were just complaints of his "laziness," though, in Weaselfang's opinion, the grumpy tom was a good, strong deputy. Someone that RiverClan could depend on.

However, just as that thought came to mind, Pikestar announced he had decided to step down, once again... the brown tom could understand why the gray leader felt that way. And as far as Gingerfrost was concerned, he was content being the Clan's deputy. I get it- but if he doesn't want to be the leader, why did he accept deputyship in the first place? Beansprout was the only cat to offer himself for leadership, which sparked... a headache and a half. He brings up multiple good points, why are the others being idiots and acting like it's their choice who the new leader is?

Whatever. Weaselfang had lots to say, but he held his tongue for the sake of RiverClan's sanity. And his own. Whoever Gingerfrost chose to serve as his partner would have his support so long as they had enough sense to bring RiverClan back to its former glory and bring peace to their Clanmates. Once the meeting commenced, Weaselfang relaxed his tense shoulders and did the tip taps as a way to silently congratulate his younger Clanmates on starting the path to adulthood or just simply congratulating them on finding their way to the Clan of fish-eaters.

Pondwhisker, who had been made an elder very recently, was called to make an announcement, which was... out of the blue but welcomed nonetheless. Whatever an elder had to say, Weaselfang loved to hear it. After all, what if it was wisdom they had to share with the rest of the Clan? There was nothing wrong with acting like an excited kit every once in a while.

SPIRITTAIL

Spirittail looked around the clearing and then put his head down shame "never mind' he meowed "maybe this isn't my fight, I'll be in the warrior's den if you need me" He then crawled into the warriors den flooded in shame
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Tbh I also feel a wave of embarrassment :quivering:

Swirlsplash looked to him. "Take a rest, It'll be back to normal soon." she soothing meowed. She could tell the warrior was a bit overwhelmed and ashamed.

(Aww noooo. Is fine :heartbounce: )

It kind of startled the tom, having Pikestar say his name for his announcement. With a swallow, the elder ambled his way to the front, dipping his head with respect to the leader and deputy. Turning to face the crowd, Pondwhisker let out a half-laugh. Wow, this was... a sight. Okay, old man, time to get this going. Both Pondwhisker and his rper had been waiting for this moment for a long time, waiting until it was the perfect moment.

He started his speech.

"I have called RiverClan home for over a hundred moons, at this point in my life. I have seen leaders rise to power, some do great, and some I have watched crash and burn. I was made an apprentice, and then a warrior. There has been so much history in RiverClan and I am so happy to have been a part of it. But, my time in RiverClan has ended; I will be leaving this Clan to join ThunderClan." He paused for a moment, eyes starting to well with tears as he spoke. He needed this moment to collect himself, collect his thoughts.

"I asked Pikestar if I could speak here today because, well, I wanted to say goodbye to you all properly. I am so proud to call you all my Clanmates, my friends, and some of you, family. I learned of my son a few moons back, many of you will know now as Thrushstar. I am leaving to join him, and my grandkits, for the rest of my life. I am unsure of how much time I have left, and I didn't want to spend it away from them. I want to be able to die peacefully, with them, when StarClan calls me. I want to thank you all, for going on patrols with me, sharing meals with me, and being amazing cats. We all have our faults, but, please, don't be too harsh on one another. Or else I'll have to come back and knock some sense into all of ya's." The massive tabby tom let out a chuckle, green eyes twinkling with humor, grief, sadness and best of all: happiness. He was finally going to be able to spend some time with his son, make up for everything he missed for Thrushstars upbringing. He was going to live a good rest of his life.

Hawksun bared his teeth across the clearing. Staring at the elder.

Mistycloud [She/Her]

Mistycloud dipped her head at the elder is approval, it makes much more sense then staying here.

"Best wishes, Pondwhisker," Mistycloud said to him.

[Kaybug.]

Mistycloud [She/Her]

Mistycloud's face lit up in shock at the leader's announcement as a mentor to Beechkit- Now Beechpaw. The molly looked at him for a second and dipped his eyes and sat down again next to her new apprentice. She was going to wait till the meeting was adjourned to greet her new apprentice.

[ophelia]

BEASTFLAME
^^^^^^^^
The medicine child was quite the curiosity to Beastflame. Stonepaw [ carmen ] was more calm and collected than the warrior had seen before and slightly more intelligent. Beastflame didn't know what the thank you was for, though. All he'd done was give his input, which it seemed had miraculously worked for the time being. At least the part about putting off the leadership decision until later. But that was common sense, wasn't it? They'd have reached that decision on their own soon enough. Still, he gave a nod to the medicine cat, for lack of a better response.

The relative quiet had been too good to be true, it seemed. Beansprout's answer sent everyone into another flurry of screaming, much to Beastflame's disappointment. This was ridiculous. He pinned his ears back, curling his lip to expose the edges of his teeth in annoyance. Narrowed amber eyes glared at those who felt it was necessary to screech their opinions to the world without regard to the ears of others. At a clan meeting, no less. It didn't matter that Pikestar intended to step down, this was still an event that called for some semblance of formality and peace.

Thankfully, Wormbite [ x ghostie ] seemed to be handling the situation. His warning didn't get to the ears of all the offenders, however. After a long moment of hesitation, Beastflame mumbled to the other tom, leaning closer, "Let me know...uh, if you want any help." The large tabby tom did not doubt Wormbite's ability to enforce his rule on his own in the slightest, it was just that his paws were itching to do something helpful that would get this meeting done. Plus, the lead Shield shouldn't have to babysit these disturbances by himself.

The others called forward had finished gathering by now, and Pikestar moved on to begin introducing them. Beastflame paid them the attention he'd promised earlier, warm eyes looking over the newcomers approvingly. He was becoming more and more sure that it had been a good idea to keep the borders open to outsiders. "Beechpaw, Blueberrypaw, Cloudpaw," he rumbled in a low-pitched voice, welcoming the apprentices into their new ranks. He did not envy the warriors getting assigned apprentices, as he personally had little patience for the antics of young cats, but it was good to see their ranks expanding nonetheless.

Pondwhisker had an announcement to make, it seemed, and Beastflame turned his head slowly to see what he had to see. His words surprised the warrior immensely, yet another mark for this meeting. Beastflame could not imagine leaving Riverclan for anything, especially after spending as much time here as the elder. But then again, Beastflame did not know the pull of family as this tom seemed to, so perhaps his perspective was skewed. He dipped his head to Pondwhisker respectfully. "Riverclan will miss you," he stated solemnly in a soft voice.

[shaae_26]

Duststream smiled half sadly at Pondwhiskers goodbye. It was sweet and a sweet reason to leave and he understood

[JackHunt_17]

Silentripple

When Pikestar called her name, the tabby molly looked up at her leader, shocked by this and dipped her head in respect of the leader's choice going over to Cloudpaw (That's the one I'm mentoring right? Archjay ) she dipped her head to them and said quietly,
"I'm Silentripple, your mentor" giving them a small smile the feline turned her striped head back towards the meeting, her attention given to Pondwhisker for their announcement.
The cat he was assigned to be mentored by was young, very young, like his age or younger, as he was very old to be an apprentice. But the young minded Cloudpaw didn’t really care about age, he just half questioned her ability to work with ik if she wasn’t well seasoned. “h……ey” he managed to stammer out.

[-Ash-]

Cherrykit didn't know what was happening. Lots of yelling, unrest. She trembled with every shout, her ears flattening in dismay. What was happening to make all these cats so upset?

"It will be my honor to teach you"

[Red Dawn]

The meeting was... very disturbing... first Pikestar was... leaving his leader post and then Pondwhisker was leaving, Nightspark was understanding the reasons of everyone to leave, but it was disturbing, he addressed a silent prayer to Starclan, asking it to preserve his clanmates...

Beechpaw puffed out his chest with pride when he heard his new name. Beechpaw. He liked the sound of that. Grinning up at the newly named Blueberrypaw, he gave her a friendly nudge with his shoulder, some of that kit-like joy peeking through once again.
"Well done!" He purred, "How does it feel to be a full apprentice of RiverClan now?"
While waiting for his reply, he cast his eyes around for his mentor. He didn't really know much about them, and didn't remember seeing them around camp. Hopefully they would be a good mentor. Kay~ ~'Atlas-The-Lemon'~

[Estelle]

Pikestar's understanding meant more than he could comprehend. Gingerfrost had expected disappointment from the leader, backlash from his clanmates, whatever their reason may be. But instead he got understanding, and an indescribable amount of voices that erupted once more after his interjection. He couldn't clearly hear what they were saying. Only some words here and there, but otherwise too many felines were speaking over each other. Though frankly, he couldn't say he cared. He wasn't proud of what happened, on the contrary. But he made his decision and preferred to think that this was what's best for RiverClan -- and perhaps himself, too. He simply wouldn't make it as leader at this time, and RiverClan deserved someone who could lead them properly. He wasn't that someone; hopefully the rest of the clan could acknowledge that accordingly. And hopefully.. They might be willing to give him a second chance, be it as a deputy, or a warrior. At this point anything could happen.

But life went on, as did the meeting. Pikestar's calm continuation of the meeting seemed to have settled most screaming felines into silence, not wanting to further interrupt the kits' special day. He too, felt guilty their day had to go this way. He hadn't thought his own apprentice ceremony all that important, but he could understand the importance it may hold for others. It was like a right of passage into the bigger, scarier world -- he wondered why so many were excited about it, for only misery followed. But alas, the kittens hardly knew of said misery, that must be the reason for their excitement. As it was customary, Gingerfrost made a point to chant the newly named kits and apprentice's names.

Next, came something rather unexpected. Pondwhisker, once of their elders, had an announcement to make of his own. This announcement held all sorts of strange or surprising elements: his being Thrushstar's father. His, supposedly, being over a hundred moons old (surely that wasn't possible, none but the dead lived that long). Lastly, his leaving RiverClan. It was unusual for it to be announced in this manner, but hearing her had children - and grandchildren - in ThunderClan, a part of him could understand. Pondwhisker was saying goodbye, so the tabby only lightly dipped his head in farewell. Familiar relations. They were so strange.

Sitting down next to him, she spoke in a quiet voice,

| hope you dont mind me having her come over to Cherrykit :heartbounce: |

Silversnow let out a small sigh as she watched the newest apprentices be named, and then listened to Pondwhiskers announcement. She could understand why he would leave; she would do the same, if she had children in another Clan. Looking around, the silver molly spied one of her own children, Cherrykit. The sweet girl was trembling and Silversnow felt a soft feeling building in her chest. She promptly stood, and padded to her daughter.

She sat down beside the tortie kit, amber eyes worried. "Hi, sweetheart. What are you doing out of the nursery? You should be in there still." She curled her tail around the small kit, leaning down to talk to her more. "But, I'll let you stay, just don't tell any of the other warriors; they're stinky sometimes." She purred softly, licking the top of the kits head.

[-Ash-]

Cherrykit
Cherrykit nuzzled close to Silversnow, grateful for her sudden presence. She couldn't bear seeing all her Clanmates fighting, and she still didn't completely understand why it was happening. But then the arguing seemed to quiet down, almost pause, as Pikestar named the two apprentices.

"Loud," she whimpered to her mother. "Why?"

// puppeteer

[sol.]

briarkit

Crouching in a pained loaf on the ground, ears pinned to her head, Briarkit let out a low moan as she saw an apprentice approach her out of the corner of her eye. The molly blinked up at the apprentice through unfocused eyes, and was struggling to find words to answer when Lilycreek came padding up. Relief pulsed through her, along with sadness. Another moment she needed her Dad. And he wasn't here. A soft sob bubbled in her throat, and she slumped into a loafing position, breath trembling. "I'mmadathim." She groaned, lip quivering as she glared at the entrance. Like she expected her father to burst in at any moment. She grew quieter to become more articulate. If only slightly. "Why is he never here. I want a dad, I want him to be here." Her head drooped, and she nodded for Lilycreek to pick her up. Just as the molly picked her up, her legs gave out and she was completely slack in the molly's jaws, covering her face to hide the angry tears that dribbled down her face.

"I could be dead and he wouldn't even care. He's never here and I miss him. I miss my Daddy, I want my Daddy. I want a family that talks to me, none of them talk to me, they don't even come to say hi, Lily. I miss my family. I miss them. I want to be good enough but I don't know HOW. I don't know what to do." Her head split with every sob, but she allowed Lilycreek to carry her back to her nest. Her lonely, stupid nest. Where she used to share with her siblings, all three. Where she never shared it with a parent. Then, Stonepaw was too special to share a nest with her. Antkit left. Briarkit limply curled into a weak, loose ball and closed her eyes, covering her ears and tried to fall asleep in her nest, silent tears dripping down her face. She just wanted a family who liked her. She wanted a family who stayed. She wanted a family who would spend time with her. She missed the old days. When her family had time for her. When she wasn't seen as a dumb, hotheaded kit. As a burden.

God, she was so tired of it.

LILYCREEK

She gently laid Briarkit in her nest, rasping her tongue over the kit's head, gently. Briarkit murmured to herself, sometimes talking to her, quietly lamenting her situation. Lilycreek's heart twisted.

"Don't say that Briarkit. I know you want your father here and he's wrong for not being here, but don't say he wouldn't miss you if you died." Part of her wanted to believe Antlerstreak wanted to be here, to protect and cate for his daughter, but the greater part was just as angry at him as Briarkit. He was supposed to be here. Be was supposed to care for his daughter, to be there for her. That damned asshole.

She turned her attention back to Briarkit, who was beginning to fall asleep. "You're more than good enough, little Briar. You're perfect just the way you are, okay? Don't let anyone tell you otherwise; especially yourself." She gently wiped away the tears to the best of her ability. "I'd be beyond proud to be your mother; anyone would be proud to call you their daughter. Antlerstreak is proud. I don't know why he's not here with you, but I know he's proud of you, and so is Stonepaw and Antkit."

She gave the kit another lick, urging her to fall asleep. "Sleep, my love. Rest, okay? I'll be right here when you wake."

After she was sure Briarkit had fallen asleep, her burning heart urged her forward. She needed to find Antlerstreak. She quietly backed out of the nursery, scanning the clearing. Oh? There was Silversnow, and one of her kits; Cherrykit? Maybe they knew where he was.

She walked closer, another bud of affection growing. "Hey," she gave a tired smile to her daughter. Upon closer examination, the kit was indeed Cherrykit, and Lilycreek gave a friendly poke to the kit. "Hiya kiddo. I'm your grandma. Sorry it's so loud out here; I swear it's not always like this." Grandma. That felt weird to call herself, since she'd always thought of grandmas as old and slow, but she was barely thirty five moons.

With a soft tutting sound, Silversnow shook her head. "They think that just because they're loud, they're right." A familiar voice beside her made the silver molly perk up and turn to see her own mom. With a purr, the warrior butted her head against her moms shoulder. "Yeah! This is my mom, Cherrykit. She takes care of the whole nursery by herself." She used a paw to point up at the Streamstone, eyes glowing with pride.

"And up there, that's my dad, and your grandpa. He's the leader right now, but soon he's going to be like me; a warrior. He's the bravest cat in the whole forest. You'll get to meet them properly after the meeting, alright?" She used her other paw to hold Cherrykit close, hoping that her presence would help the noise not seem so, well, noisy.

Swirlsplash's eyes lit up as she looked at Blue. Now named Blueberrypaw. "Well look at that little one! Guess your stuck with me!" she purred. Touching noses softly with the apprentice as she smiled brightly. Well well! The apprentice she knew and thought of as a sweet and innocent cat would learn to maintain that image. But be a fierce warrior on the inside, burning with spirit and loyalty to her clan. "Welcome to Riverclan Blueberrypaw." she smiled.

Hawksun yawned. Not bothering to call the names as the young tom sighed. "Congrats." he murmured, not caring if the cats could hear him.

Foxmoon sat beside his best friend. Hawksun always acted like he desired Foxmoon, but he never took it to heart.

Beechpaw puffed out his chest with pride when he heard his new name. Beechpaw. He liked the sound of that. Grinning up at the newly named Blueberrypaw, he gave her a friendly nudge with his shoulder, some of that kit-like joy peeking through once again.
"Well done!" He purred, "How does it feel to be a full apprentice of RiverClan now?"
While waiting for his reply, he cast his eyes around for his mentor. He didn't really know much about them, and didn't remember seeing them around camp. Hopefully they would be a good mentor. Kay~ ~'Atlas-The-Lemon'~
BluberryPaw {She/They}
Blue, now BlueberryPaw, eyes shone with excitement. "BluberryPaw..." She repeated quietly and excitedly. They looked happy to be apprenticed under SwirlSplash. "I guess I am!" She said and accepted SwirlSplash's gentle touch. "Thank you, Miss SwirlSplash!" They added. She felt a a nudge "Hi Beechk-" She started then caught herself "I mean BeechPaw!" They paused at that question "Like I'm finally escaped the past!" They finally answered.

When the attention turns to PondWhisker, she dipped her head with approval… She could sort of understand how hard it would be to watch your kits grow up in another clan… She had respect for the Tom, for he was doing what would make him happiest… With a feeling of nothing but respect, she purred. “You’ve served us well, PondWhisker. You better share tongues with us when we get to see you next,” A soft smile covered her face. “Thank you for all that you’ve done for us… Take care of yourself, okay?”

So much was happening in front of her. Too much in too little time.
Pondwhisker, one of the few Riverclan elders was leaving. Mintpool didn't know much about the former warrior, but she welcomed his choice with a respectful dip of her head and wished him luck, silently in her head.

When the time came, she chanted along with her clanmates for the new cats that had officially joined their clan. Ivykit, Sootkit. Beechpaw, Blueberrypaw, Cloudpaw. And- oh...
Mistycloud got an apprentice! Mintpool tried to get her gaze and blinked warmly at her friend, quietly spelling her congratulations from distance in the crowd. She was truly proud of her.

Cherrykit
Everything seemed a bit less overwhelming when Silversnow was there, holding her close. Cherrykit looked up as another cat softly poked her. She recognized this cat; she saw her around the nursery a lot. Then Silversnow started talking again, about her parents. Wait, Pikestar was going to be a warrior? Why? Who wouldn't want to be leader? The leader was like.. the most important cat in the whole Clan! Maybe that was why there was so much arguing.

She smiled a bit at Lilycreek. "Very loud," Cherrykit agreed. "Why is he gonna be a warrior again? The leaders are the best!" She was still a bit confused about the whole situation.

PIKESTAR

Silently, from atop his place on the Streamstone, the tall dark-furred tom watched as the mentors seeked their newfound apprentices, and for a moment everything felt right in the world. There was no screaming, no arguing, no hissing and yowling to be heard of. Was the loud and awful chaos finally coming to an end? That possibility soothed Pikestar’s insides and he allowed himself to breathe. He then listened attentively to Pondwhisker’s goodbye speech, already having known about it prior to their private discussion the day before. The fading RiverClan leader dipped his head in respect and farewell to the elder, respecting his choice to spend his final days with the family he had in ThunderClan. Thankfully, the majority of their clanmates accepted it too and wished Pondwhisker well, whether it be through silent nods or brief words. It was calm and Pikestar was all around very thankful for that. His partial gaze caught sight of his daughter, Silversnow, and Lilycreek comforting young Cherrykit, who seemed a bit confused by all the happenings. Nothing else seemed to be of noteably quality, and Pikestar let another smile come to his maw. This seemed like a good point to continue.

"RiverClan wishes you well upon your way, and I can only hope you spend the rest of your days in peace amongst your family, Pondwhisker." The dark oriental tomcat remarked, saying one last thing to the elder before officially switching topic so they could remain productive. "Moving on with our meeting, I would like to inform RiverClan that there has been a surplus of twoleg traps spotted near and within our hunting grounds of late." They glanced around to find a few specific cats in the crowd, "Last moon, I saved Pebblesplash from a trap just outside our borders, and Beansprout saved young Bouncepaw from one as well. Now, if it was just one occurrence, I would cast it off as just a one time thing, but as the numbers grow, I realize now that it's something that needs to be made aware of. Please, proceed with caution and do to help your fellow clanmates when you can." He glanced over at the scarred siamese tomcat and gave a gentle nod to him. With that now said, there was one, maybe two more things to go over and then they could be dismissed. Pikestar questioned for a second if they should still go through with this.

"Next, I would like to elect two new warriors to our shield team. They have both done more than enough to prove that they are capable of doing what needs to be done to make sure RiverClan thrives. This shall be my last act as the clan's leader." Pikestar said, their long whiskers twitching as they spoke, "Beansprout and Beastflame shall be promoted to RiverClan's newest shields, if they still wish to accept." In hindsight with everything that's gone on, the dark-furred feline wondered if it was smart of him to still do all this. However, they had promised such a rank to the siamese tom, and Beastflame was more than deserving of such a title. No matter what was to become of RiverClan in the near future, Pikestar would remain faithful to what he had in store for this meeting. He gazed at both tomcats for a moment, hoping that both of them understood his thought process behind it. "Before this clan meeting is to be dismissed entirely, I have one final request to make of RiverClan tonight."

Leaping down from the Streamstone, which would most likely be the final time he ever did so, Pikestar gave a small sigh and looked out at the crowd that sat before him. "I wish to travel now to the Starcave―alone―while you all figure out our leader situation. I have no right to be apart of the decision, nor do I want to have a say in the whole discussion. I've many enough poor choices, and I believe it's up to the rest of RiverClan to choose their new leader. Whether you allow Gingerfrost, or Stonepaw to choose, or hold it to a vote. That is not up to me." His partial gaze found Beastflame, almost half-tempted to ask if he would accompany them, to have some kind of trusted friend by his side, but Pikestar knew this was their burden alone to deal with. "When I return to RiverClan, I will return as Snowleap. The warrior many of you once knew me as. Please respect my personal choice, and do take care of yourselves while I am away. This meeting is dismissed." Without another word, the lanky oriental tomcat padded away from the Streamstone and towards the camp's entrance, beginning their journey to the cave. It was time to end this chapter.

PebbleSplash listened quietly to the rest of the meeting, sitting proudly with her head high. That all changed when she heard the mention of her accident, which caused her to shy down a bit, ducking her head down softly. She tried not to think about it and thought more about the other things that were mentioned… It was interesting to hear that BeanSprout had saved an apprentice from a twoleg, and she shot a glance of what seemed to be respect their way…

As the meeting continued on, she heard her leader announce two new shields… One of which she already knew of (BeanSprout,) and BeastFlame… BeastFlame was more than qualified from what she had seen and her eyes lit up with excitement because of it. However, she was left a bit puzzled… It made her confused about why BeanSprout had spoken to PikeStar so harshly, though given such a high honour… But, even so, she still put in the respectful effort to bow her head with respect.

As the meeting came to an end, PikeStar had made it official that he was stepping down and was going to return the rest of his lives… He stated that he wished to be called SnowLeap, which she was more then willing to respect… As the Tom leapt off the Streamstone, she turned her gaze, Looking up at the darkening sky… The molly shivered. When sPebbleSplash was captured, she had gone out at a time like this and promised hers she wouldn’t let anyone leave at night again.

She had to ignore his humble request to go alone and tagged behind him. She didn’t want to make a scene so she caught up to SnowLeap… “SnowLeap…?” her voice was rather quiet… “I cannot let you go the full way alone. Let me come with you, until at least the edge of the territory so I can make sure your safe and can put my worries at ease…” Without a doubt, there was pure worry in her voice. She must’ve had a thing for dipping her head, because once again it ducked low.

She would’ve done the same for anyone else, for everyone deserves the same sort of protection. Though, this had a special place in her heart. It felt like she was repaying the debt she had for being saved. Even so, though, she felt like the tom would’ve saved her a million times if she needed it, and quite frankly, she would’ve done the same, if not more… That’s just what clanmates do. That’s why PebbleSplash loved her clan… A tiny flame lit in her heart as her shyer gaze became a powerful one, locking eyes with him…

“Your safety is just as important as mine…”

Nightspark dipped his head with a huge respect to Pikestar, the choice of the leader was done, and it couldn't be changed... he said, his voice imprinted of respect "Good luck Pikestar, may your travel be calm..."

[Silvershadow13]

~Silentripple~
From her place beside Cloudpaw, she gave a sad gaze to her leader, he had led them through so much and it had surprised her when he said he was resigning, through this she hoped he was content with his decision and knew he could choose whatever to do with his life, but it was a bit of an annoyance that they now had to deal with the choice of leadership

[Buzzin' Bee]

Berryflare didn't say anything. Maybe the next leader could be a great one. So she stayed in her little shadow corner and waited for the voting too start. "Good luck Pikestar!" She meowed, hoping he would have a good journey too the starcave.

[JackHunt_17]

~Silentripple~

Sitting down next to him, she spoke in a quiet voice,
"If your nervous don't worry your doing better than me, I at or may not have well almost thrown up from how nervous I was before my ceremony and after it got better" she gave a small laugh
"I.. h..ad o..ne o-o..f these be..fore." He reminded her. "I... am.. 19 moons... I was.. a shadowclan... aprentice before... i was.. born there." Cloudpaw said, realizing Pikestar didn't specify that so she actually might not have known

~Silentripple~

Turning her gaze to him she looked intrigued,
"really?" Giving a twitch of her whiskers "What's Shadowclan like, are their hearts actually chilled by the winds that pass through the territory" realizing what she was say she stopped,
"Sorry, that must sound awful to you; considering they were your old clan."

BlueberryPaw {She/They}
BlueberryPaw felt her heart drop. "No..." They whispered and looked at PikeStar. She wanted to lash out but she couldn't. Something was stopping them.

Swirlsplash looked at her young apprentice. "Blueberrypaw. Lets go take out some anger and help our clan at the same time. No?" she suggested. Step one, take the shocked apprentice out to the territory and collect moss. Swirlsplash and her roleplayer thought the apprentice was so pure and to cute to be feeling such emotions at such a young age.

Lashing her tail once meaning, come along. Swirlsplash yawned as she went to Brightnight, licking her ears and whispering. "How are you baby?" While the brown she-cat responded. "I'm fine mother, the kits are quite close to coming out though.

Brightnight allowed a small pink tint to appear on her face as she smiled and purred. "Why thank you! Your very pretty as well.

Beansprout (https://beansite.carrd.co/)
RiverClan Shield

Finally, things were beginning to quiet. Beansprout watched with one glowing eye as ceremonies went on and Pikestar -- Snowleap, seemed to cut the meeting short. Well, the siamese couldn't blame the dark-furred cat for wanting to return to warriorhood as soon as possible. A twinge of pity sank into his heart. Perhaps, after things had settled a bit, beansprout would have to talk to Snowleap, explaining himself. That he really and truly did like Snowleap a lot, and wanted to continue their friendship, but... yeah. Ah, and then there was the Shield announcement. He didn't respond verbally, only offering an affirmative nod of his head. With this position, Beansprout wished to do more good for his Clan.

As the meeting dismissed, he remembered how... close he was to Wormbite. Ahem. With a slight cough, Beansprout faced his companion. "Well that was... eventful," he tried to speak lightheartedly, though there was a heavy weight in his stomach. "Would you... like to grab a bite to eat and then maybe do something, Worm?"

ೃ⁀➷ vellichor

No one .. seemed to yell at Wormbite, and there was a sleeping cat behind him now who appeared to be behaving. Blissfully unaware of those who defied his orders. (Bluestone made a promise to him and he gave a brief nod. He would accept it, anything. Literally anything to not have anymore yelling.) He simply thanks the stars above that nothing was.. being particularly chaotic, anymore. Simply Beansprout had his tail around him, and the Dark Lord was becoming something more akin to putty than anything. Having hunkered down next to his side, almost like he was trying to sink into the siamese, and disappear into the fluff.

It was nice, like - actually reassuring. Wormbite wasn't good with these situations. It made his heart race and there were .. sensory, and he could've sworn Bean was mad at him. Frustrated, disappointed - something. Expect, now he wasn't sure. Which again, frightening. Terrifying. He still couldn't bring himself to think too much on it because he was with Beansprout and that, made him happy. The oriental was far from paying attention to the meeting at this point. Fixated on the warmth Beansprout provided and the butterflies that were twisting in his stomach. Attempting to desperately keep a straight face because even if he had - some, some questions. He had so many questions? But it all came back to one thing.

Don't. Screw. This. Up.

Wormbite would do his darndest to fight against this damned curse put on him. Misshaped ears perked up, and he hummed contently with the announcement of Beansprout and Beastflame being shields. Yes, good choice. Right, after this. They had to choose a leader. Mmmrgh.

There was a cough.

Wormbite slowly looked up, feeling heat flush through his pelt as he straightened himself. Clearing his throat and giving his shoulder a little embarrassed lick. "..Truly, " He murmured in agreement, and what came next was a complete surprise.

The silence was a bit painful for both Wormbite and his roleplayer because you must realize, it was awkward. Very awkward. Many emotions over this man's face, not an absolute clue on how to be smooth over this.

"T - that would be, uh, lovely. Yes, " And then a pause, "..Perhaps.. swimming? Or.. fishing.. It is.. a nice day to do that..." He was usually better at these things. (No, no he wasn't. ) He fidgeted with his paws, having shuffled a little bit back from Beansprout to try and get.. control of whatever was happening here. Emotions. Disgusting.

[Shade.]

Darktwist was vibing in the chaos, wondering if perhaps he was based loosely on a space dude with a gun who was edgy.

Beansprout (https://beansite.carrd.co/)

Beansprout ducked into the clearing as the sun was beginning to rise, its orange glow bathing the camp. Clouds were strewn about the sky, and he couldn't tell if they threatened rain or simply offered shade. With a small mrrp of dismissal, he supposed he would just have to wait to find out. One blue eye skimmed the camp, seeing how many of his Clanmates were already awake. Unfortunately for the rest of the sleeping cats, Beansprout had plans to wake his Clanmates up.

The siamese faced the Streamstone and hesitated, if only for a moment, before leaping onto it. Moon and Stars... Beansprout has a whole new perspective on the camp. Any cat who was awake by now looked as small as a rabbit beneath him. Beansprout let the awe of the moment sink in, bathing in the light of the morning sun. Then, he let out a call.

"Let all RiverClan cats gather beneath the Streamstone for a Clan Meeting!"

Pebblefur and Dapplepaw padded up and sat down in front of the Streamstone to listen.

Birdpaw came over to sit at the base of Streamstone, looking around for her family or friends before settling down.

________________

Briarkit padded to the entrance of the nursery. A few minutes before, she had ripped the cobwebs clean off and saw something horrifying. The indents of dog teeth in her shoulders and belly, the pink, fresh scar marring her ginger tabby fur and making her mood more... downcast. She leaned against the edge of the nursery, looking up at Beansprout with narrow, untrusting eyes. "Great, another cat to lie to us." She hissed softly, emerald eyes holding a dullness that had been born by her father's abandonment. A scary blankness, that you would expect to see in the eyes of a seasoned warrior, not a child.


(both bird and briar are open, though bri isn't in the nicest mood <3)

[Buzzin' Bee]

Berryflare had already been awake relaxing in the shadows. She quietly hissed in anger, why in star-clan was Beansprout calling a meeting? Perhaps he would announce something stupid. Or maybe he had become leader, was challenging Gingerfrost? Berryflare didn't want too keep her hopes up so she trotted into the light of the now rising sun. She enjoyed the shadows better, but sunlight felt good some times.

Why are these cats so lazy? She muttered too herself. Seeing barely any of the clan outside of the warrior den disturbed her. Most of these cats were supposed too be warriors, hunting, fighting and protecting the clan. Which usually required getting up pretty early. Not sleeping until sunhigh like an elder. Hopefully Beansprout would just continue the meeting without every single cat. Especially those really lazy ones.

[Estelle]

Following the soon-to-be-announced leader, Gingerfrost ducked back into camp as well. The sky had grown clearer since this morning and the sun started to rise, promising a new day. And perhaps a new day for RiverClan as well. Evidently, many cats were still sleeping as Beansprout leapt onto the Streamstone, but equally as many seemed to already have stirred awake. The tabby paused only for a moment to look up at the odd sight of Beansprout on the Streamstone, and not Snowleap or one of the past leaders; but certainly, he'd get used to it soon. The call was spoken, and Gingerfrost took that as his cue to tear his gaze away from the grey feline and take his own seat. Unlike the other meetings, Gingerfrost wasn't at the far back as he usually sat. For once, and perhaps for the first time, he actually took a seat at the base of stone, where generations of deputies before him sat, watching the clan gather. For all things dear, he could already hear the reactions from the clan - both positive and negative. He only hoped an uproar could be avoided, and that most would agree with his decision instead. He truly hoped this would go well.

long furred torbie - 0 moon - She/Her

Of course she was awake, did she go to bed early? Maybe, she didn't know nor did she really care if she did. Hearing the call her ears perked up in interest, meeting? Hopefully this one wouldn't have all that yelling like the last one did she really didn't enjoy the screaming match's that went on. With no time to waste the kit came running out in a hurry like there was no time to waste. Looked like to the torbie that she wasn't the first one to show up, a little disappointing to her hopefully next time she can try again.

CLOUDJUMPER (he/him)

At the sound of Beansprout calling the whole clan together, Cloudjumper appeared in the entrance of the nursery, quietly sitting down and wrapping his tail around himself as his light blue-hued gaze flickered towards the main camp’s entrance-and-exit point. It would not surprise the young warrior in the slightest if Snowleap had decided to sit this one out. That was probably for the best anyway. Cloudjumper uttered a low sigh and idly scratched his neck with one paw as he calmly waited for the meeting to begin. The future of RiverClan was uncertain, who knew what would happen here today? Not him.

Having been wide awake, Ferretsnap watched as Beansprout entered the camp and leaped atop the Streamstone. His ears perked in a silent show of interest. The siamese calling a meeting, and not Gingerfrost? Intriguing.

His tail flicked as he bounded up to the Streamstone, sitting down and looking up. As long as no more mouse-brains spoke out and started another argument this time around, he would be content to listen along silently.

SNOWKIT (https://toyhou.se/20766470.snowkit)

Toddling out of the nursery, Snowkit looked up to see the grey warrior who had called out and so rudely disturbed her sleep. She blinked, nose scrunching in confusion. Why was he up there? She didn't think he was the cat who made everyone sit under the big stone to listen to stuff. Was he? Huh. Weird.

She came to join the rest of the crowd, though she remained further away from everyone else. Lotsa cats would be sitting there, wahhh!!! Snowkit didn't wanna get squished!

Looking around, the little she-cat searched for her sisters or Stoneypaws to sit with. She had seen Cloudpapa on her way out of the nursery, but she didn't know if he wanted her to sit with him. Wahh, decisions were hard!! She didn't know who to sit with!!!

[sol.]

Lilycreek watched as Briarkit ripped her cobwebs off. They should have scabbed over... but that thought made her upset again. Bluebellpaw had gone missing in a few nights ago. The queen was frazzled; she tried looking everywhere, but she couldn't find her niece. Where was she?

She didn't think Bluebellpaw was the kind of cat to run away from her problems. Sure, she was meek at times, but not cowardly. Never cowardly.

The queen just walked closer to Briarkit, letting her presence be known by her padding steps. "You feelin' okay, kiddo?" She asked quietly. She didn't want to baby Briarkit since she was apprentice age anyway, but she couldn't deny the string of protectiveness that wrapped itself around her whenever she thought of the kit.

His exhaustion over the last half-moon had not improved, restless nights impeding his body's ability to heal. Where most cats might have recovered by now, Tinystorm still had some way to go - and with that, his arrival to the meeting was neither spiffy or quick. He looked rough, visibly dreary and spent as he hunched near the back of the growing congregation.

[ameko]

Finally, something interesting! Wispwatcher stood from her place near the entrance of the camp (she had been planning on heading out if nothing caught her attention) and joined the growing crowd in the clearing.

[taillow]

Russetpaw [they/she]
Despite having been in RiverClan for awhile now, Russetpaw had taken to sleeping just outside of the camp's entrance. They still didn't feel... apart of the Clan yet. There were so many faces they didn't know, and there was always something going on. It made their heart race in ways they weren't used to, and so far no one had really told them it was wrong to make a nest right outside and sleep there, so that's what they had been doing. Though as the sun was rising they heard the soft fall of paws and immediately awoke, peering out from the concealment of reeds. An unfamiliar cat was heading into the camp, followed swiftly by another, and after a few moments of silence a voice rang out, calling every cat together.

Blinking for a moment, Russetpaw took a small breath before getting to their paws. They shook slightly but they did their best to hide them by pressing them hard against the soil below. Their heart raced in their chest as they fixed up their makeshift nest before turning and ducking back into camp. There weren't many cats gathered, and only one that they recognized. Picking up the pace the russet-furred somali started to head that way, glad that there was at least one cat they recognized, before halting.

Something about the way he was sitting at the base of the large rock the other cat they had seen enter camp had her question if it was even alright to approach. He was the deputy after all, and probably sat there because of that. Which, if that was the case... who was that? Green eyes peered up at the unfamiliar tom. A large rock, meetings... but that certainly wasn't Pikestar. In fact, she had yet to see the kind oriental tom who she had first met all those moons ago. Was he okay? Was he...?

Swallowing the inkling of dread and any questions that arose, Russetpaw veered and headed towards the back of the crowd. Something felt off to her, and as she took a seat her paws fidgeted anxiously before her. Green eyes darted around, trying to locate Stonepaw, or even Lilyleaf, but neither of them appeared to be here yet. So for now she resigned to look back up at the cat atop the tall rock, wishing her head wasn't spinning as much as it was.

Stonepaw

He didn't like it. He didn't like it. It was different and wrong and suggested bad things. Horrible things, awful things. Wandering out of the medicine cat den, he flicked his tail aggressively, letting the very tip twitch as amber eyes surveyed the group. His dad wasn't there, but he did spot Russetpaw. Bouncing over, he sat next to her with a nod, looking back and forth from Beansprout to the crowd, trying to see if anyone else seemed to be thinking the same as he did. No one looked concerned, no one but Russetpaw, and they didn't seem to understand much of what was happening in general.

Still, catching sight of Snowkit garnered her a small smile that quickly flickered. "Do you want to come sit with us?" He looked back to Russetpaw, checking if they were okay with that. If not, he could show Snowkit to her parent or sister. He just needed a reason not to scream and he couldn't get mad if there were kits around. He couldn't get mad if he was next to his bestie Russetpaw. Beansprout was on the Streamstone and that meant everything had gone wrong.

briarkit

Her anger grew as her father was still absent and her brother didn't even notice her, instead walking up to a stranger that Bri didn't recognize, and started talking. Like they were besties. Like that cat was his sister, and not the large ginger tabby with the dog teeth marks all over her sulking in the nursery entrance. Lips peeled back in a frustrated snarl. Of course. He had friends. She didn't. Even if she did, she would never negl- No. She wasn't going to go down the rabbit hole of bitterness. Even if it was deep and welcoming. Maybe later.

Looking up as Lilycreek approached, she tried to force the anger and hurt out of her face. Lily didn't deserve to be upset or offended. "Wish I could be an apprentice already. Maybe next meeting." Forcing cheeriness, she tried to push the jealousy and frustration out of her mind, and if Lily would allow it, she would scoot closer to snuggle up next to her. This is all she wanted. Not promises or even i love yous. She just wanted the little things. It was messed up that this cat was so willing to give it to her when her own family wasn't.

Maybe family wasn't as important as she thought. Maybe she was just clingy and dramatic and loved too hard and needed to stop. Maybe she scared her family away. If Stonepaw wanted to forget her, then fine. She was still his sister and still his bodyguard (her job was now engraved in her body in the form of fang marks), and she would remain in the shadow of his glory and the corner of the nursery until her job called her up once more. Because that was what family did, that was what the job she had taken on when she was 5 moons old demanded, and she refused to believe or do anything different.

But her gaze faced upwards with the utmost respect as a soft purr escaped her jaws… She wondered if she’d get any good news… It may be a bit ambitious of her but maybe a shield position would open for her to swoop up with gentle paws… This meeting seemed promising… Tail curling over her paws, she was ready to listen…

BEASTFLAME
^^^^^^^^
The large tabby shield emerged from the warrior’s den silently at the unfamiliar voice calling out to the clan members. His fur bristled at the difference from what he was used to hearing during meeting, but he forced it to lay flat before facing the crowd. Different isn’t always bad, he told himself silently. A picture of stoicism, Beastflame took a spot near Stonepaw, offering a greeting nod to the young medicine cat. There was anxiety in Stonepaw’s actions, and it mirrored the worry exhibited only by Beastflame’s eyes. He hoped the other tom noticed the concern there, and that no one else could. He was a shield, and he needed to be composed. But if he was a shield, why hadn’t he been informed that Beansprout, his equal, would be leading the next meeting? Why not Gingerfrost? Unless…

His jaw clenched as he fought to suppress the wave of emotions rolling through his mind. He didn’t know what to make of the revelation he’d just had. Would Beansprout become leader? What would it mean for the clan? Was it really what Starclan had declared?

He spared a glance at the medicine cat once more, silently desperate for answers. But he kept his maw shut, tail curled tightly around his muscular frame. It would all be explained. This fact did not, however, do anything to subdue the questions ricocheting around in his skull. Who would be deputy? If Beansprout was to be leader, Wormbite was the most obvious choice. Unless Gingerfrost had opted to stay instead. Calming his nerves, Beastflame focused on the small feline on the Streamstone, willing his thoughts to come to a standstill.

she/her

As Stonepaw made his way out of the medicine den, Snowkit watched him with wide eyes, smiling at the sight of the herb cat. She stood, beginning to waddle her way towards him- only to see him sit with someone else. Someone she didn't recognize. Huh... had he not noticed her? She was small... so was it that easy to overlook her?

Her wide grin fell into a frown, staring at Stonepaw and the unfamiliar cat. Icy blue eyes flitted back and forth, uncertainty bubbling within her. Would they be upset if she went to sit there too? Stonepaw seemed to be friends with that cat, so surely they were friendly... but still!! She didn't wanna sit anywhere she wasn't suppose to, even if it was with her friend.

He seemed to finally notice her, though, making the little she-cat look back up at him. Snowkit's tummy made a weird feeling, almost like she wanted to shy away and go back into the nursery. Or hide between Cloudpapa's paws. Did she want to sit with them? Well, she did, but... did they want her to?

She appeared to shrink into herself, mouth opening and closing over and over. Gahh, why couldn't she make the words come out? Why were words so hard?

"Do... Dooooo... S-Stoneypaws and Stoneypaws friend wan' Snowkit to sit?" she finally squeaked after a moment, little words laced with nervousness.

Russetpaw
Moments passed by as more cats gathered, making Russetpaw more uncomfortable with each passing moment. Then a familiar scent drifted to their nose and they turned their head to spot Stonepaw. Almost immediately upon seeing a friendly face they relaxed and smiled in greeting. "Hello, Stonepaw!" They nodded to the younger tom, tail waving behind them in greeting. He seemed... off-put. It wasn't hard to connect the dots that he had also likely been close with Pikestar as well, and maybe was wondering where he was? Or maybe he knew? But something told Russetpaw that if the tom with the kind eye was dead, things wouldn't be as... light as they were. So they figured they could do away with those fears for now.

Looking over to a young kit, Russetpaw smiled once more. They had a complicated feeling towards kits, but none of that showed on their face as they nodded with a purr. They hoped they looked inviting as well, and that this young kitten wouldn't be scared of them. While they waited for the little one to join them, the somali couldn't help but feel eyes on them, and their own green ones turned to look at another cat, about Stonepaw's age... but they appeared troubled in a way. Concern washed over Russetpaw, wondering what the story was there.

Before they could think anymore of it though the young kitten had made her way over. Moon and stars above, she seemed nervous. Russetpaw smiled and waved their tail in a friendly greeting, trying to make themselves appear as friendly as possible. "Of course! It's very nice to meet you, Snowkit. My name is Ind- I mean, Russetpaw. I used to be known as Indigo, or Indy, before I joined." It would take some time getting used to their new name, that was for sure. Hopefully, their new home wouldn't totally hate them if they still kept it though, just for nostalgic sake.

They woke up, picked up its stress stick and padded out of the learners den. Why was a sentinel on streamstone? Where was Gingerfrost? The learner shakes his head and pads towards the ginger tabby was located. “Gingerfrost? Why is he up there? Are you going to take Beansprout’s spot on the Streamstone?” The learner immediately started asking questions to the Second in Command. Gulp. What was all this about, everyone was acting like this was okay? Why was everyone so calm? Was this kind of thing normal? A Sentinel taking a place on the Streamstone, a place where they definitely shouldn’t be. That was for the Commander of The Settlement! What the heck was happening?! Was something terrible happening? They had spoken to Beansprout, he didn’t seem to be bad, but why was he up there!

• Cormorantkit •
long-furred smoky-black mackerel tabby molly with bits of white; yellow eyes
_________________________________________________

The young kit lifted her head up out of a sleep slumber from an unfamiliar voice echoing throughout her ears. Hazily, her eyes blinked as the black tabby stared blankly out of the nursery. Who was yowling? Who were all of the unfamiliar faces? Where was mama? Cormorantkit blinked mindlessly for a few new minutes before huffing and lifting up her little body. Her white-freckled front paws wrigglied as her tufted little ears twitched. Letting in a breath, Cormorantkit squeaked out her next set of words, “Mama?… Osprey?… Crane?… Swan?… Ducky?” The young molly called out for her siblings and mother, her call barely even a whisper and practically a mewl. Her bright yellow gaze focused directly at the entrance of the nursery, squinting immediately from the sight of a large orange glow transmitting through the camp. Was that what the sun was? The young kit didn’t know.

“Auntie Lily?..” She squeaked again, stumbling her little legs out from the nursery, eyes wide with awe as she stared at the unfamiliar surroundings of camp. Dew tickled at her underbelly, lightly dampening the dark fur along her belly. The singular white spotting along her chest grew sodden from dew, and the one moon old kit stared in awe at how big everyone was compared to her. New, flourishing scents entered her nose, and the light breeze flew throughout her black pelt. Nose twitching, Cormorantkit stumbled out further into the clearing, her peripheral vision adjusting to the bright atmosphere as a small gasp escaped her throat at the sight of the large streamstone as the shining rays of the orange sun rested delicately on its surface. “Big… pretty… stone…” Cormorantkit mumbled out, her child brain still getting used to the new world that she had recently entered not so long ago.

Seeing all the big kitties around her were sitting, the young small molly decided to do the same, placing herself down on her small little haunches rather abruptly as her yellow gaze stared all around her. Who were all these big kitties? Where was mama and her siblings and Auntie Lily? Cormorantkit let out a small yawn from her thinking, showing off her bright pink gums and underdeveloped white teeth. Maybe they will show up eventually. It was kinda cold sitting out here though… Cormorantkit shivered a little, pressing her little dampened body closer to herself as her tufted ears quickly pressed against her head. She hoped she could have some sort of interaction with someone soon…

Springkit
long furred torbie - 0 moon - She/Her

So far this meeting was beginning to bore her small mind, no one was doing anything so far. It made her wonder how the last one turned into some sort of fight amongst the older cats. Thumping could be heard a bit from her smacking her tail down, showing her slight irritation at having to wait. Green eyes swept the growing crowd of cats as others slowly started to join the meeting, until she spotted another kit. Springkit noted in her thoughtful head of hers that the other seemed cold and to her looked lonely, plus it looked like they were close in age to her. With her need to know everything around her she trotted over to the kit with some prep to her steps. She was going to make all the friends she could get, if she had to annoy a few other kits to do so then oh well she was sure some of them would get over it. "Hi!" she greeted once she was close enough to be noticed and maybe not over looked.

Springkit hadn't even bothered to notice that the grass beneath them was slightly moist, that is if she cared about it. If she happened to be a bit damp she didn't acknowledge it, nothing seemed to bother her that much. "Is this the first time you've been to a meeting?" Springkit wasn't entirely sure if it was okay to already be shooting out questions. She supposed it was okay in her mind, her siblings nor her mother was around to correct her behavior so she would just keep with it. The torbie looked back up at the streamstone to still see Beansprout on it, she faintly remembered him from the last time she saw him. "Maybe this meeting you won't get a earful of screaming!" she turned to look back at the other kit. Springkit sure did when she decided to go to it out of the blue, she wasn't really impressed with it when she had though. Springkit would plop her butt down since she was already tired of standing plus she didn't want to stand if she was going to try and have some sort of conversation with someone.

Birdpaw came over to sit at the base of Streamstone, looking around for her family or friends before settling down.

________________

Briarkit padded to the entrance of the nursery. A few minutes before, she had ripped the cobwebs clean off and saw something horrifying. The indents of dog teeth in her shoulders and belly, the pink, fresh scar marring her ginger tabby fur and making her mood more... downcast. She leaned against the edge of the nursery, looking up at Beansprout with narrow, untrusting eyes. "Great, another cat to lie to us." She hissed softly, emerald eyes holding a dullness that had been born by her father's abandonment. A scary blankness, that you would expect to see in the eyes of a seasoned warrior, not a child.

The small gray tom eyed briarkit from a distance away. The last time they had spoken she had mentioned that she too was glad they had met. Seeing he shower again made him feel..guilty for his words last time. Glancing down at the shiny crystal clear blue pebble that he adored he picked it up and padded over to her. Dropping the rock next to her he smiled. Hey again..uhm I’m sorry about last time so I thought I’d give you this rock..I know it’s not much but it always cheers me up when I feel gloomy. Feel free to toss it but…ya know? he disliked the way her eyes looked…so dark and lonesome…he wanted to fix that. He needed to fix that.

Most other cats were unnerved by Beansprout's place on the Streamstone, and Birdpaw was... confused to say the least. What had happened in her absence to make cats dislike the Siamese so much? Letting out a soft purr as her sister pranced over, a smile blooming across her face. "Hi Sil!" She exclaimed, reaching up a paw and aiming the gentlest of boops on her sister's nose with a grin. "How're you doing?"

[pxxylo]

Raccoonear was in the process of sorting things out and tying loose ends before leaving. She didn't plan on making a show at the meeting originally, but she noticed Stonepaw looking worried and quickly like a sisterly instinct weaved through the crowd with her head down, still worried that all these cats gathered remembered all that Beansprout had said about her and didn't want to even show her face, and landed near the gray medicine cat. She lowered her head a bit to smile at him, flicking her tail up and gently tapping his nose with her tail in a playful manner. "Hey, dude. You look a bit worried,, what's up?" She already knew, but it wasn't her with the urge to have information from him, but she knew that talking things out and verbally speaking them helped with anxiety. She knew that Beansprout being up there meant the clan was due for its real potential to metaphorically burn down to be reached. She mentally hung her head after looking up at the gray siamese atop the Streamstone. It's a good time to leave Riverclan.

Beansprout (https://beansite.carrd.co/)

The clearing began to fill as his Clanmates heeded his call. Some looked a bit disheveled, and he saw faces with emotions ranging from concern to interest to confusion and everything in between. The siamese was scanning the crowd, trying to take it all in. Take note of those with concern or even veiled hostility in their eyes and mannerisms. Beansprout knew he wasn't the most well-liked at the moment, but that didn't matter too much for him. He was doing what he thought -- no, knew was right. He would explain himself to those who questioned him, sure, but Beansprout would never apologize.

He tried not to feel disappointed as a certain dark-furred oriental hadn't made an appearance yet. Beansprout had found himself searching for Wormbite in the crowd, and dismissing his companion's absence as simply sleeping and taking care of himself, or even getting an early start to the day outside camp.

He didn't have time to dwell on this though; he needed this meeting to go quickly, as he didn't want to keep cats here for a long time early in the morning. Some tempers may be quick, and Beansprout didn't want unnecessary conflict. With a quick deep breath and a glance toward Gingerfrost [ Estelle ], the siamese spoke up once again.

"This morning, Gingerfrost approached me and we had a conversation about RiverClan's leadership situation. We've been without a leader for half a moon, and he decided it was time to change that." He scanned the faces in the crowd closely as he continued. "Gingerfrost has asked me to lead RiverClan, and I have accepted." He let the statement sink in for a few moments, awaiting any outbursts or other interruptions and hopefully letting those go by before going on.

"Rest assured that I fully intend to work by Gingerfrost and Stonepaw to keep this Clan up and running. I know I couldn't do this without them, and I hope that we push each other to new heights for this Clan. As soon as I'm able, I will be heading to the Starcave, and I guarantee to use every single life I may receive to serve this Clan, and push us toward an era of prosperity and stability."

With that, the newly-announced leader sat down, tail curled over his paws, awaiting the next reaction before he began with ceremonies for the first time. Beansprout felt excitement spark in his paws, despite the less-than-ideal circumstances.

She looked up at beansprout, watching with curious eyes. Should she tell him? N-no. Not yet. After he became beanstar, then. Then she would say something. Or should she tell stonepaw? She wasnt sure, anymore. Not at all.

[Beetlenose]

Interesting. Minnowkit sat at the bottom of the stream stone. She had absolutely zero idea what was happening but still. The cat on the huge stone seemed to be announcing something. Hm whatever.
(Closed!)

[Silvershadow13]

~Silentripple~

Her searching eyes looked up at their new leader, she didn't know Beansprout all to well, but she had noticed his opinion during the last meeting with Pikestar. Unsure how he would lead them, the tabby molly kept her opinions hidden and her tail around her paws. The only reassurance she could find, was that Gingerfrost had requested for Beansprout to lead, trusting in the deputy's choice, the she-cat locked her eyes on her new leader.

Amberspark swished her tortoise-shell tail and glanced at her mate, Sunfall. The she-cats blinked at each other, but they had nothing to hold against Beansprout.

"Well, it'll be lovely to have a leader again," Amberspark purred. "And I'm sure you'll do wonderfully, Beansprout!" She smiled up at the tom, hoping her positivity would help balance out any possible hostility.

Sunfall flicked her ear. "We do somebody leading this Clan," she admitted, looking at their soon-to-be-leader. "I guess I thought it would've been Gingerfrost, though." The orange she-cat tipped her head.

fluffy brown and white tom with amber eyes.
he/him

Suspicions had no time to fester as Beansprout continued, causing Ferretsnap's brow to quirk with intrigue. He had been asked by Gingerfrost to lead? Ferretsnap couldn't say he was surprised. Honestly, if any other cat had been chosen, perhaps he would have some less-than-positive words to say. Beansprout had more than proven himself as capable to actually get things done around the Clan, and he would be willing to place his trust in the siamese tom to lead. His tail twitched idly, eyes holding an unintelligable glint within them.

A part of him wondered how a few of those cats who had spoken out against Beansprout at the last meeting would react. Though, he didn't particularly care. The arguing had gotten on his nerves and he chose to not think about it any longer for the sake of his sanity.

Ferretsnap could only hope that Beansprout would bring change to the Clan. And he would help as best he could- he had a promise to upkeep, after all. Perhaps he would congratulate the siamese later. Maybe. He wasn't particularly sure how Beansprout felt about him, especially after the whole hunting patrol incident. Mmm, maybe he would just save his breath, merely passing a nod of approval to the tom and returning to listening.

[Morrigan]

Mistfire looked up at Beansprout surprised "Gingerfrost isn't going to be leader well I suppose it's for the best if Gingerfrost's not confident in his abilities to lead and Beansprout's a good an loyal cat I'm sure he will do is best for Riverclan" she thought as she purred in suppport of Beansprout she would tell her mate what happened later Briarfang was out on a walk after she told him to stop worrying about her so much and that it's good to get out of camp from time to time.

[MockingRabbit]

Troutstone's eyes boggled as Beansprout declared himself leader. Could he do that? Well yeah, sure, Gingerfrost chose him, but could Gingerfrost do that? He was the deputy, but the leader was supposed to choose the deputy, not the other way round. But oh well. It seemed the decision was already made, and he guessed that maybe Beansprout might not be the worst leader?

[Captain]

CLOUDJUMPER (he/him)

As the meeting finally began, the massive black-and-white tom’s ears twitched to Beansprout’s words. So, he had been chosen to take Snowleap’s place as RiverClan’s leader. In all honesty, Cloudjumper wasn’t all that shocked by it, given how outspoken the siamese shield had been since the last meeting. It was unmistakable that this cat had the motivation and determination to become this clan’s next grand leader, but then again, the big curly-furred warrior didn’t really find himself having a strong opinion on these kinds of things anymore. He simply looked on, wearing a face of neutrality. You won't find this tomcat to be singing his praises at this meeting, but he also won't be barking disapproval either. As long as his children could remain here, safe and happy, then Cloudjumper was content. That's all that ever mattered to him anymore. Breathing a quiet sigh through his nose, he then itched a spot under his chin.

[Omari]

Dapplewing

He/Him

Dapplewing tilted his head ever so slightly before he flicked his tail. For once in his life, the tom kept his big mouth shut. He didn't have anything good nor bad to say about this decision, so why say anything at all, right? He didn't know Beansprout very well, but he trusted Gingerfrost's judgement. They had been without a leader for far too long at this point, so something had to be done.

Moonspot was delighted to hear the new about a new leader comeing into riverclan, she sat at the opening of the nursery as she watched around at the many responses to the news her tail laying over her paws as she smiled.

[Buzzin' Bee]

Oh, that's what this was about. Berryflare remembered all that arguing and conflict at the last meeting, where Pikestar stepped down. Gingerfrost didn't want to be leader and Beansprout was questioning if the tom would be able too rule the clan, meanwhile he asked others if he was fit for leadership. Personally Berryflare thought that Beansprout would be a great leader.

Wait, Berryflare was right wasn't she? She had wondered earlier if Beansprout had become leader or was challenging Gingerfrost! Well, he hadn't challenged Gingerfrost, but he was becoming leader. A big smiled washed over her face and she decided too speak some words. "I am sure you'll be a great leader Beansprout! One that will help our clan grow and thrive. You are a great, loyal cat too Riverclan, you'll do what's best for the clan I'm sure of it! For as long as your leader!" She exclaimed, her smile felt even bigger now.

Soon stopped smiling. It seemed a little creepy, she was just a bit happy that some-cat other than Gingerfrost had become leader ... though she didn't really know how competent of a leader Gingerfrost could be ... But, after that thought, she didn't care. She was sure Beansprout would do better.

[Silverfur & Co]

Snowstripe nodded she rememebered beansprout and didnt remember much about him not being a good cat she rememebered hearing nothing but good things about him.

Mintpool was lying down with her chin on her paws, eyes half-closed and drowsy as
Beansprout took place on the Streamstone and called the clan for the first time as the next Riverclan leader. It took a few moments for her to remember that Pikestar wasn't the leader anymore. Pikestar? No, Snowleap. Her thoughts were slow, lazy to come and connect ideas.

Beansprout. Beansprout. Beansprout. Who was it, again?
Her blue eyes tiringly rested on the gray shape that loomed on the stone. Another one-eyed one. Another tom. Another leader.
Where was Snowleap? Not that it mattered anymore. The dogs had gone away, and... Slatestripe as well.

The events unfolded around her as if she'd escaped the wheel of time and was observing everything from a bubble.


She stayed quiet as Beansprout announced the imminent travel to the Starcave.

Minnowpaw
They/He/It | Post Count: 18

Minnowpaw placed their stick on the ground, placing a paw over it, securing it underneath. The learner was puzzled to say the least. “Bean? I have a question! Why did Gingerfrost pick you to run the settlement? Did you do some super cool power move? The stars said so? Or is this just a game like the one mini-learners play? What happens if the stars refuse you to be commander, what happens then? Is the River Settlement going to fall if that happens? Gingerfrost is staying Second-In-Command? Huh!” Minnowpaw was still confused as all heck! What did any of this mean, what made being Commander so special anyways? The only possible thing Minnowpaw could see as the cat getting alongside the special name is the whole “extra lives” thing, but just faster than everyone else.
Beansprout? Beanstar? What was it supposed to call the Guard now? Was Beanwhateverhisnameisnow even a Guard anymore? These promotions were so confusing. Blegh. He felt sick, and the sudden blast of scents poking at it’s nose was not fishing helping! Minnowpaw very much clung to Gingerfrost’s side. The Learner now turning towards the Second-In-Command. Green eyes scanning the grumps face up and down before turning to the crowd and mentally searching for their siblings, was Ghostkit here? Silverpaw? Maybe…..even Beechpaw?! Where were they all at!

PebbleSplash
RiverClan
~A pretty white mollie with pale gray and orange tortie markings and blue eyes~
——————
Her large, silver ears perked up, hearing the rather surprising announcement… After all BeanSprout had said to GingerFrost, he still got a promotion…? Never mind that, a shield position really did open up, One possibly just for her… A fire lit in her eyes as her dream finally came in reach of her paws… Though injured, PebbleSplash promised herself that she’d work EVEN harder than before… PebbleSplash, who had been on multiple patrols, who had been through hell and back just to live her life, deserved a higher position just as much, if not more than anyone else… She’d keep her ambitions to herself, however…

She’d be good up there… She was the perfect balance between loved and hated by her clanmates, though most remained neutral on her. She’d say she was a more popular cat in the clan, wether that be for her natural beauty or passion… She was good enough, right? She thinks back to when SnowLeap stepped down, and how some cats wanted to see her as leader… That thought drove chills down her spine. Shaking her head, her gaze drifts back upwards… All she needed was an apprentice, or greatness to achieve…! After this meeting, she’d go hunting (Even though she should be resting,) This was healthy ambition…

But even so, the mollie needed to throw some spice into the meeting. After all, wasn’t it supposed to be a vote? An election run by her clanmates to choose the best leader? She needed to put the possible leader up to the test, and by playing devils advocate was the only way. PebbleSplash stood up and took a step forward towards the tom, “BeanSprout, With all due respect, I have a couple questions for you…” She wanted to be as passive as possible, as to not start an unnecessary argument… ”First of all, sir, Wasn’t it supposed to be a group discussion?”

Her first question was the easiest to get out, though the tiny flame in her eyes said she had much more. Branching off on her first set of words, she continued to speak. “It was going to be set up that way so ALL of RiverClan could have a say in who we thought was best to lead us. Whatever happened to that?” A small grin covering her face said that none of this was personal, rather she was seeing if he was the leader she had in mind… “Second of all, I heard you scolding GingerFrost not too long ago about his… Absence from basic warrior duties… This is true, Is it not?”

Boy, was she like a puppet master, pulling on whatever string she could. “How can we trust someone that can’t even stay put on their opinion of a single cat?” Taking a seat at last, she licked her paw… “Onto my next question, Wouldn’t someone like WormBite be more capable of something like… being the leader of an entire clan…? He is the head shield after all, and you like… just received your promotion…!” She was having more fun with this than the average cat should… Some may think she’s crazy, others may see her as a genius… It didn’t matter, she was sticking up for her clan and their rights to vote…

Moving on to her last point, a purr rumbled in her throat… “And finally, BeanSprout, Sir… What makes you stand out compared to everyone else in this clan…? To some of us you seem like a liar, and quite selfish… How could we possibly believe that you’re all for RiverClan and not for yourself…?” This reply was going to be good…! PebbleSplash braced herself for backlash but ultimately, these questions were needed…! She was playing her part…! And quite frankly, she was loving this…

(Still open lol, also vellichor and Estelle for the GingerFrost mention AND x ghostie for WormBite <3)

Oh, this. Tinystorm would have thought this to be settled by now.

Frankly, he ain't impressed. "Save your freakin' talk. Any flea-bag with a mouth can claim leadership and make promises, that don't mean you'll do them - and the last thing this Clan needs is a cat who ain't following through.

"It's showing that's important. Get your dung together and get the ball rolling, or shut the hell up and stand aside." A half-moon of nothingness wasn't a great look. Although he was aware that was largely on Gingerfrost, to Tinystorm a cat looking to showcase their leadership capability should have jumped at the opportunity harder.

His tail lashed with annoyance. The only positive he saw was that this meeting somewhat engaged the Clan - but the cats here were quiet, and did not draw attention from many of their other Clan-mates who hadn't arrived.

Russetpaw
Catching the sound of gentle paws heading towards them, Russetpaw looked up to see an unfamiliar cat approach. But the way in which she interacted with Stonepaw, trying to lift the young tom's spirits, had them smiling. Not sure if they would see it or not, the somali nodded their head in greeting. Whoever this was, they seemed like a good cat.

It seemed that the meeting would start then, and Russetpaw turned their head to look at the cat upon the rock. He started by saying that the Clan had been without a leader for half a moon, and everything else faded away. A inkling of fear clutched ahold in their chest and worry clouded their green eyes. Half a moon?? What had happened??? Twisting their head this way and that, the russet-furred feline tried once more to look for her friend, the kind tom who had helped her all those moons ago. He still wasn't here, and no one was speaking his name...

Swallowing a lump in her throat the feline felt subtle grief gnaw at her belly and she shuffled her paws lightly, trying to keep the bubbling anxiety at bay. When she had come back, one of the cats she had in her mind to seek out was Pikestar, to apologize for running away. But now... if what was happening was correct, she would never get that chance, and it brought up feelings she wasn't entirely sure she understood.

Many voices rang up in response to the cat - Beansprout - claiming he was to be the new leader, but Russetpaw just sat with furrowed brows as they stared at the Streamstone in thought.

While she waited for Lily's response, Briarkit rolled her eyes at the news of another male leader. Nothing against them, but when was there going to be a GIRL leader?? What happened to girl power?

Whatever. She guessed that Bean wasn't the WORST option. Just a little bossy, maybe.

[FruitBatz]

Moon tilted her head in confusion, *Lead er?*, the kit thought as she looked around seeing happy cats. *Maybe lead er is a good thing!* she smiled to herself thinking.

The white and gray tom made his way out of the nursery where he had been napping, to hear Beansprouts booming voice over the crowd of cats

new leader? well- Ghost didn't know much about clan stuff just yet but- if he could recall they'd been without a leader for quite some time now, so- although he didn't know Beansprout very well- perhaps he could- perphaps he would make a good leader.

Maybe even a great one? He turned his attention away from Beansprou- his new leader's? words to look for someone he knew Bumblekit? he looked around for his newly made friend but his gaze ended up on his brother Minnowpaw That works too

he bounded over too his brother and sat down beside him, he looked up at him, noticing the concern and worry on his face "Minnow, you alright?"

briarkit

Her anger grew as her father was still absent and her brother didn't even notice her, instead walking up to a stranger that Bri didn't recognize, and started talking. Like they were besties. Like that cat was his sister, and not the large ginger tabby with the dog teeth marks all over her sulking in the nursery entrance. Lips peeled back in a frustrated snarl. Of course. He had friends. She didn't. Even if she did, she would never negl- No. She wasn't going to go down the rabbit hole of bitterness. Even if it was deep and welcoming. Maybe later.

Looking up as Lilycreek approached, she tried to force the anger and hurt out of her face. Lily didn't deserve to be upset or offended. "Wish I could be an apprentice already. Maybe next meeting." Forcing cheeriness, she tried to push the jealousy and frustration out of her mind, and if Lily would allow it, she would scoot closer to snuggle up next to her. This is all she wanted. Not promises or even i love yous. She just wanted the little things. It was messed up that this cat was so willing to give it to her when her own family wasn't.

Maybe family wasn't as important as she thought. Maybe she was just clingy and dramatic and loved too hard and needed to stop. Maybe she scared her family away. If Stonepaw wanted to forget her, then fine. She was still his sister and still his bodyguard (her job was now engraved in her body in the form of fang marks), and she would remain in the shadow of his glory and the corner of the nursery until her job called her up once more. Because that was what family did, that was what the job she had taken on when she was 5 moons old demanded, and she refused to believe or do anything different.

[ sol. || birdie carmen - for mentions/bri's bombastic side eye ]


LILYCREEK

She saw the bitterness on Briar's face, before retreating like a wave. The queen gave a rueful smile. "We'll find him. Okay?" She was of course, referring to Antlerstreak, Briarkit's deadbeat father, who she highly doubted they be able to find again, but decided not to comment on that. There was no need to mack another livelihpod for the sake of realism. Though Briarkit wouldn't appreciate being lied to...

She allowed the kit to snuggle close to her, and she rested her tail over her back, securing her in a kind-of hug. "Sorry you have to wait this long, kiddo," she said, another rueful smile pulling at her face. "I'm sure you'll blow it out of the park when you do, though." The twinkle in her eye said it all. She really did believe Briarkit would be great; the gal had spunk and the capacity to pick things up quick as lightning.

So as the meeting began, she began to try and click things in place to guess what this was about. Gingerfrost, was he sick again? No, he was standing right there. Did Beansprout have something to share? No, Gingerfrost would've started the meeting then. That probably could only mean...

Welp. There it was. The bombshell dropped. She blinked for a moment, then she gave a hesitant smile. Beansprout was a good leader- he'd stepped up when Pikestar- Snowleap- had resigned. Perhaps he'd been a good choice. She looked down at Briarkit to gage her reaction, and gave a chuckle. "Why the long face?"

But of course, opposition. After all, there was not one idea that all cats could agree on, and it wasn't surprising to hear Tinystorm speak his mind. Frankly, as much as she liked Tinystorm for his loyalty and thinking, she was getting tired of yelling. So, instead of adding more fuel to the flame, she settled with catching the tom's eye and giving him a gentle 'now's-not-the-time-please' look. Maybe she should have a chat with him later.


[ jupiter BEAR. - you didn't mark your post as open, so please let me know if you'd like me to remove the glance at Tinystorm ^^ ]

Kestrelpaw was sitting by herself, her head spinning. She was supposed to be happy. Right? Birdpaw was home. But Bluebellpaw- Bluebellpaw was missing. Kestrelpaw didn't think her cousin was reckless (quite the opposite, actually), so she didn't know why her cousin was gone. Was she kidnapped? She flicked her tail nervously. Why was no one doing anything? Did no one notice? She thought Gingerfrost might have, since Bluebellpaw was fond of him and Gingerfrost didn't treat her as coolly as everyone else, but no one really was doing anything. Pikestar (Snowleap) had wanted search parties for the missing- why weren't any being sent out?

She listened as Beansprout announced he was recorded to be leader, and shook her head. Did he not care about the missing either? Kestrelpaw didn't know. She didn't know who to trust anymore.

[carmen]

Stonepaw

9 moons old and he was done with all of this. They had been good before. Fawnlight and Pikestar and Gingerfrost. They didn't need someone new, they needed the old cats back. They needed the good guys. The ones that he could trust to help him, the ones he was comfortable talking. Not Beansprout. Never Beansprout. All he did was beg for his own role and hate on those who tried to help. He had been gone for the most of Stonepaw's kithood, missing, his least favorite thing. He had left his family and friends alone and now Stonepaw was supposed to trust him. He couldn't trust him. He wanted to, suns, he wanted to. It would make it easier, it would stop his tail twitching, it would stop the way his claws dug into the ground. He was scared. Terrified.

Hi."He could feel someone glaring at him, and he spun around, momentarily distracted as he smiled at Bri, only to be dragged back by someone else's eyes. He gave the tom a shrug and a weak smile, as Beastflame moved to sit down. Sun and moon, Beastflame didn't seem happy either. Someone else seemed to understand. Beastflame knew what this meant. Beastflame knew what it meant, and, like Stonepaw, he hadn't been warned. A horrible surprise, an awful shock.

"Stoneypaws wants Snowkit to sit, don't worry." He was even more concerned now. The fear that radiated from him seemed to have washed off on her somehow. Snowkit wasn't supposed to be nervous! Stonepaw was supposed to make the right decisions, he was supposed to make sure everyone was happy, and apparently, sitting with Russet had not been the right choice. Maybe he should have gone with Bri and invited Snowkit, or just Snowkit alone. Ugh, why was thinking so difficult. At least Russetpaw was nice to her. He flashed her a thankful smile, better than the weak ones from earlier. Four of his friends were in the clearing, and that meant he was safe.

Scratch that, five. "What's up? Ugh..." He lifted his head from where he had been staring at his paws, eyesight transitioning towards Beansprout. That was what was up. That was what meant the world was falling apart and everyone was going to disappear. It just wasn't right. It was the wrong choice, Beansprout was the wrong cat. He was mean and ambitious and headstrong and it meant that something bad was going to happen, even if Gingerfrost believed in him.

His breath caught in his throat as the predicted words were uttered. No, no, no. He wouldn't be able to handle it. Not after the hypocrises, not after the moments of mean that had shown at the last meeting. They were giving the usurper the crown and no one seemed particularly worried. The feeling of fear quickly tipped into the realm of frustration as the clan idiot opened his mouth. Tinystorm had no right to talk, not at all. He could like some sort of champion, but Stonepaw saw him for what he really was: a fraud. Big mouth, no brains. There was a difference between the two. Beansprout was mean, but he also was intelligent. Tinystorm, on the other hand, was a jerk and a dumb one at that.

He didn't like this at all, but he had to stay calm. For Russet, for Snowy. He wouldn't yell out his displeasure. He may not trust their new leader, but he wasn't going to make a second coup. He wasn't that bad. He reached down to boop Snowkits nose, trying to lighten the mood, trying to forget the situation.

Why was no one else scared?

[Estelle]

Silently, Gingerfrost sits as he watches the clan gather at the Streastones -- most looked confused as to why Beansprout is calling a meeting, and others seem like they don't care. Perhaps those who don't care had already guessed the reason for this meeting, and the reason why Beansprout is calling it and not him. Either way, the news would be out and about soon, only enough cats had to gather. In the meantime, it is Minnowpaw who comes up to him wit his stick, bearing the question some of their clanmates undoubtedly have in mind too. Gingerfrost only blinks in response, uttering a quiet few words;
"It's fine, you'll see-"

That is when he catches Beansprout quick glance, Gingerfrost giving a subtle nod in response, right before the soon to be leader begins speaking. Blunt and direct, not as Gingerfrost had expected, but the news is now shared with all of RiverClan. His gaze shifts from the Streamstone above his head to the clan, watching as each feline slowly lets the information sink in. Evidently, surprise, and for some shock, hangs in the air. But it seemed from first glance that, oddly, most accepted this decision. Most. There are a few disgruntled looks in the crowd, just as the tabby expected. Beansprout, by all means, wasn't everyone's favourite and Gingerfrost knew -- but no one is liked by everyone; having few to none detest you is a rare feat that few felines pull off.

So far, only few actually spoke with their doubts or questions, the first of which being Minnowpaw. Whom soon enough, and much the deputy's evident surprise, comes to cling to his side. For moment, Gingerfrost's eyes go wide, blinking down a few times at the young learner before he regains himself;
"RiverClan isn't going to fall"
He mew, looking down at Minnowpaw. The other questions are left unanswered, drowned out by the first and the sound of Pebblesplash speaking up, catching Gingerfrost's attention. Slightly, he frowned, but it is gone within a heartbeat.

Truth is, Gingerfrost had seriously considered a vote. But the messiness and risk of being pressured into leadership against their will is not something he fancies. While voting could have gone right, only the wrong scenarios would play off in his mind, leaving him with the last decision of making a choice himself. He knew this would get backlash, and he's prepared for it. Ready to hear the screams of anger, though he counts himself lucky that so far it is only Pebblesplash who's brought it up, and politely at that (although he had to admit that she isn't among those he would have expected to speak up). Still, he listens on, silently watching the crowd. Frankly, it looks like the molly is actually having fun addressing Beansprout, pointing out several doubts, several factors, and several questions. It is almost as though she is doing this on purpose -- is she? Unexpected, but possible. He couldn't help but wonder now: how is Beansprout going to react? Perhaps that's what warrants his silence in this matter. A quiet curiosity at how the grey feline will handle these first few questions of his soon to be leadership.

ೃ⁀➷ Loveless.Fawn

The Dark Lord was making a late entrance to the party. After finishing his patrolling and bringing back a squirrel, it seems something was a mist. The first announcement had been completely missed by Wormbite all together - unaware of who even sat upon the Streamstone. Misty hues shifting about with a hint of uncomfortably. He supposed this would be the meeting they came together and picked a leader, yes? He moved to take a seat near the back, sitting hunched.

Wormbite had already long since had his vote, and he was sure it was .. obvious. Still, he hadn't been expecting to hear (from Pebblesplash?) that it had already happened. Beansprout, if he was gathering correctly, was Riverclan's leader as it stood. His eyebrows furrowed together, leaning into to listen to what the molly spoke of. His mind reeling, and he cursed himself for being late.

.. And then she said something that made him recoil and begin to sink into the ground. The idea of him leading Riverclan was almost laughable if it wasn't terrifying. He didn't.. have the best social skills.. or temper. "...No. I have no interest in being the leader of Riverclan where there is a perfectly fine candidate. " Wormbite piqued up, quick to dismiss any bubbling of that idea. Though, Pebblesplash did say like him. Only the issue was .. the only one like him (in his opinion) was Beansprout.

Besides that, he kept quiet. Partially because he did agree with the prior points - it was should've been a group discussion. On the other paw, he didn't seem a different outcome. Finally, a part of him.. was curious .. to see how the Siamese would respond.

Little late the molly caught on real fast and headed out of the nursery. She sat down near the back of the crowd, but still close by to her beloved clanmates. Oh it was Beansprout the cat she had heard about at the last meeting. He was leader? Wow how did she miss that? Marigoldleap looked at him in an attempt to try and read his body language, but she was soon distracted by a clanmate who called out. This was t be expected. New leadership was hard. She did have to agree that this was out of nowhere. Maybe the clan should of had a say in who they wanted as leader. What was done was done and they had a leader. Now to see if he would actually do something worth noting or fail like the rest of the leaders.

SNOWKIT (https://toyhou.se/20766470.snowkit)
fluffy white she-cat with brown and black patches and icy blue eyes.
she/her

Waahhhh, so much happening!!!

Snowkit's eyes flitted from cat to cat, tail twitching behind her nervously. Stonepaw wanted her to sit, and the other cat- Russetpaw? was okay with it... then another cat came up too!! So many!! The weird feeling in her tummy bubbled even more as she silently shuffled closer to Stonepaw, attempting to slot herself between his paws for comfort.

Then the cat on the big stone began talking more and everyone's expressions changed. Snowkit couldn't tell what all those expressions meant. But Stonepaw looked upset. So did that Russetpaw cat. She didn't know how the other one that had sat with Stonepaw felt either. Why were they all upset? The tiny she-cat tilted her head to the side, looking up at Stonepaw curiously. As she did so, though, she felt a paw boop her nose, causing Snowkit to let out a little squeak. She attempted to look at her nose just as she did in the medicine den when she had first met Stonepaw, failing once again. Grr. She was gonna see her own nose one day, mark her words!!

Snowkit let out a mrrp, looking up at the herb cat again.

"Wha... Wha..." Words hard. How was she supposed to say this? She just wanted to know if her friend was okay!! "Whaa... wrong? Why Stoneypaws looks uppiesets? Snowkit wa- Snowkit waaan make Stoneypaws feel betters!! Snowkit gives Stonepaws he- heeeerbs? Make feel betters?" That was what they were for, right? Herbs made cats feel better, so if Stonepaw was given herbs, he wouldn't be upset! ...Right?

• Cormorantkit •
long-furred smoky-black mackerel tabby with bits of white; yellow eyes
_________________________________________________

The young tabby turned to face her head towards the newcomer, bright eyes blinking inquisitively as she listened at the other kit speaking. Meeting? This was a meeting? Cormorantkit didn’t know this was a meeting. Letting out a small mrrp, the young tabby nodded her head. The bright light of the sun still hurt her eyes, and the unfamiliar scents of cats she didn’t know continued to attack at her senses. Wiggling her nose, Cormorantkit tilted her head at the other kits’ mention of screaming. What was screaming? Was it something loud? Did it hurt ears? The young child continued to stare, opening her jaws slightly to respond quietly to the other kit. “Who… is you?” Cormorantkit casted a rather lazy attempt at trying to point at the other kit as she was implying that she was speaking to her and only her. Genuinely, Cormorantkit was trying to get used to the fact that she was speaking to another kit other than her siblings, and it was already a little weird.

The young tabby’s attention then faced up towards the big kitty that was on the big stone, her eyes wide as she listened to him speak. Bean? She didn’t know his name, but she did get the implication from the sudden murmurings of cats around her that this cat was specifically called ‘bean’. “Big… Beanie! Mr. Big Beanie!” She squealed, entirely unbothered by all the sudden catastrophe that was going on around her.

Her former attention towards the tortoiseshell kit was entirely washed away as she was now focused towards the new leader. She kept on with her mini chant, lazily trying to bounce herself up and down as she stared happily at the new leader, lips curled into a wide grin as her underdeveloped canids shown. Of course, her child brain couldn’t understand why other cats were so negative about the fact that he was the new leader, as she was trying to get why and how meetings worked. She’s only a child, after all.

Springkit
long furred torbie - 0 moon - She/Her

It had taken Springkit a few minutes to realize that the kit she had approached was a bit younger than she was. Of course she wasn't even a moon old yet close to it but not just yet. Springkit didn't seem to care nor mind that the other's speech pattern was a bit off, well compared to the older kits from the nursery. Furry ears flicked as she listened to the other ask who she was, it seemed that she forgot her manners. Though she wasn't entirely sure if she even had any manners in the first place since she just did whatever came to her mind first and would think about it afterwards. "I'm Springkit!" she was a tad bit too excited about telling someone her name but that seemed to be just her weird quirk. Ears flicked to hear that the older cat was talking once more, something about leadership. Had they really been without a leader? She wasn't entirely sure since she never interreacted with the last one before hand. While she was sitting by the younger kit, she chanced a look around at the others around them to judge their reactions. It seemed that some weren't too happy about this and others kept quiet about their feelings. Springkit wasn't sure as to why some were throwing question after question at the big cat on the rock.

All she knew was that this time no one was yelling and she was happy about that she wouldn't have to go hide in the nursery. The torbie had momentarily forgotten about the other for a hot minute. "Mr big beanie?" she tilted her head she guessed it was a nickname the younger kit gave the other. She hadn't thought that the other cats could be given nicknames, that was new to her. "Are you friends with the big cat?" she thought that was pretty cool if they were friends, she didn't think the older ones could be their friends.

Beansprout (https://beansite.carrd.co/)

As his words rang out above the clearing, Beansprout braced himself for any criticism, fair or unfair, that may be thrown his way. However, strangely enough, he was met with what he saw as enthusiasm and kindness, albeit very quiet. The one-eyed tom flattened his ear, gaze sweeping over the murmuring crowd. He did have a few cats to address, at least.

First, there was the familiar Minnowpaw Solar with its countless questions and strange verbiage. With a small smile, he let Gingerfrost Estelle answer any of the young cat's questions before he jumped in. After the deputy assured Minnowpaw that RiverClan wasn't going to fall, Beansprout nodded. "Yes, we won't fall. Gingerfrost told me his reasons for choosing me were my active presence and dedication to this Clan. If I had turned down the offer, well, I wouldn't be up here. Gingerfrost would simply have to find another candidate, I suppose." The small cat let out a low hmm as he thought to himself before another voice caught his attention.

Ah, more questions. Beansprout perked up, spotting Pebblesplash Loveless.Fawn and recognizing her voice. As she asked her own questions, Beansprout tried his best to answer as they came at him. "While the group discussion idea was proposed at Snowleap's meeting, I'm not all too sure who started the idea or how it would actually have happened. Perhaps a group meeting started by Gingerfrost...?" the last few words were mumbled to himself. He cleared his throat and continued. "Either way, I think it was up to Gingerfrost as to whether he wanted to go with a group vote or pick a candidate for leadership, and I will respect his decision." Oh, his somewhat recent scolding of the deputy himself. "This is true, yes. But I would argue that this is a strength, not a weakness. Since his Clan-wide... 'wake-up-call', for lack of better words, Gingerfrost has been putting much more effort into the care and upkeep of this Clan. I don't want to fully judge him because of his past if he's obviously putting in the effort now. Should he have been doing so from the start? Yes, but the past is the past, and I trust that he is doing what he can to make up for it."

It seemed Pebblesplash meant no harm in her words as the she-cat was smiling. To be honest, none of what she said really rubbed the siamese the wrong way, and he was happy to answer any question or criticism that was hurled his way. As for Wormbite x ghostie... He had no idea his companion was here until Beansprout heard his familiar voice. Though the blind tom couldn't see it, Beansprout offered a smile to him and felt his face flush just a bit. "Well, you heard what Wormbite said," was all he could really add to that before regaining his composure and answering the final query. It left him a bit shocked and quiet for a moment, head tilted to the side ever so slightly.

"I certainly can't change those negative impressions of me right now, and I do understand if some of you mistrust or dislike me, or even think of me as selfish. All I ask is that you give me time to prove myself and be open to perhaps changing your minds. I would also like to open the leader's den for any and all cats to enter, whether that be to ask me a question, talk with me, give me feedback, or even tell me off if you believe I'm doing wrong."

With that, he offered a dip of his head to Pebblesplash before moving on to Tinystorm BEAR.. To be honest, he didn't think saying anything more would appease the still-recovering warrior, so he simply nodded and flicked his tail. Beansprout was determined to prove his worth and, more importantly, prove that he was the right leader for RiverClan. Tinystorm was right; words were just empty promises. beansprout was determined to fulfill them.

"This meeting is dismissed. I will call a meeting soon after I receive my name to reassign mentors for apprentices who need it, as well as to perform other ceremonies." Beansprout didn't want any cat's special day to be overshadowed by this leader announcement, after all, and wanted to wait until he was a proper 'star to do ceremonies to avoid any backlash. With that, he offered a curt nod to the crowd and leaped down from the Streamstone and into the leader's den to prepare himself.

Russetpaw
So much was happening that it made Russetpaw's head spin. Beside them Stonepaw seemed to be growing more upset by the moment, and instinctively the russet-furred somali placed their tail across his back in a sign of reassurance. They didn't have to be sure of what was going on to comfort a friend, green eyes moved from the large rock to the kind young apprentice. If they were asked, it seemed that whoever was atop the rock was not well liked, at least not by this young cat (nor some others who had gathered around them). If that was the case, and they were the ones taking Pikestar's place, the somali questioned for the first time if they should've even come back in the first place.

In between comments given from the crowd, Russetpaw noticed the young kitten speak up, offering to make Stonepaw feel better. She let out a little 'mrrp' herself. Something in the innocence displayed by Snowkit melted her heart. So young and yet already intune with the emotions and feelings of those around her - it reminded Russetpaw of when she had been a kitl; always seeming to feel emotions at a much more intense wave than those around her. It had confused her greatly and left her heartbroken many times before - she hoped the same would not be true for this little one.

Soon enough the cat on the rock continued, and not much of what he said made sense. Russetpaw did their best to listen, fur prickling briefly as they remembered that it would be at this time they would be introduced to the Clan. But to their relief... that moment never seemed to come. The tom seemed to be dismissing the cats gathered, and ending the meeting by leaping off the large rock and disappearing into a crevice at the base.

...Huh.

Mind still wheeling from everything, Russetpaw looked again to Stonepaw, and Snowkit, and the others around them. Perhaps... one of them would know. But... with the young kitten within earshot, the somali did not wish to risk it. "If you'll excuse me. Thank you for allowing me to sit with you all," she smiled to those gathered around, before looking to Snowkit with a wider grin. "And a pleasure to meet you, little Snowkit. I hope I get to talk with you again." A rumbling purr from her chest as she blinked at the young kitten before standing up and padding away from the group.

"Gingerfrost." Hesitation gripped the words in her throat, and Russetpaw realized it was fear in her chest that had it tightened. Green eyes that had never been good at hiding emotion displayed it clearly. A beat, and then another. She made sure to keep her voice low, so that only the tom before her would hear her. "...Before I joined RiverClan, I ran into Pikestar, the old leader, sometime last fall. He... was very kind to me. If you don't mind, I would like to pay my respects to wherever he's been... buried." ...Why was it so hard to imagine the tom as no longer with them? Why did it leave an ache in her chest? She didn't know him that well. She really only knew his name, and that he was kind... But truthfully, she didn't need to know anymore than that.

Anxiously, the russet-furred somali shuffled her paws as she awaited the deputy's answer.

[ carmen lio rowan @/anyone else they were sitting with! Estelle - surprise russet has no idea what happened and in true russet fashion has leapt to conclusions oops; its up to ginger man to explain that pike isn't actually dead :rofl: ]

[perseus.]

Fogcloud had been silent throughout the whole meeting though their eyes narrowed in annoyance for the rest of the meeting that Beansprout was taking the position of leader. Truly selfish in her eyes. He has been a friend of Snowleap and this is what he does. She shook her head before slinking out of camp


Beetlepaw frowned he had trusted Beansprout after he had taught him how to swim but he was taking…his mentors spot. He frowned before going to the apprentices den.

• Cormorantkit •
long-furred smoky-black mackerel tabby molly with bits of white; yellow eyes
_________________________________________________

Springkit? Like… the pretty season with a bunch of pretty flowers and buggies? Cormorantkit looked back at the molly, tilting her head with awe as she briefly gestured to herself by simply tapping her paw against her little chest. “Me Corm… Cormorant!” She squealed, raising her lips into a wide, happy smile as she spoke out loud about her name. Of course, her words were slurred and sluggish as she spoke, showing that it wasn’t easy for the kit to properly pronounce her own name. Her little head then shifted back up towards Big Beanie as he began speaking. Leader? Starcave? What were those things? Wiggling her little head and sticking out her little tongue for her own amusement before shifting herself towards Springkit, being rather lazy with her movements. She noticed big kitties walking away, tilting her head as she watched them walk away. Where were they going?

“Where… big kitty going?” She tried to question, looking at the direction of the big kitty before lifting herself up atop her little legs and trying to follow the other kitties. The dew-stricken fur along her legs slowed her down, causing the young kit to let out little huffs and puffs as she tried to follow. Of course, she ended up stopping and landed on her haunches, looking around as she took in her surroundings. This camp was pretty much new to the young kits' vision. She’ll learn the ways of clan-life… eventually.

_________________________________________________

Leafie [If it’s fine with you, is it fine if we end it here? Since the meeting ended? Also, this was heavily rushed and I feel horrible for that!]

[Estelle]

And one by one, beansprout began answering any worries and queries in order. From Minnowpaw to Pebblesplash and more, in a silent manner or aloud. It was, by all means, a nice surprise to see most of the clan take the news rather well. It lifted some worry off his chest, that he made the right decision -- now only to see how well Beansprout would live up to these expectations; hopefully, the new leader would fare better than he had himself. For whatever reason, Beansprout did decide to cut the meeting short to only his leader announcement. That was fine by the lethargic deputy, as long as those reassignments happened rather sooner than later. With the meeting wrapping up, he silently stayed for a few moments, watching everyone chat and leave.

That is when his ear flicked upon a sound approaching, a familiar russet pelt coming into view. He gave a subtle nod, wondering why the new clanmate suddenly joined his side, brow quirked. Their short discourse started with words of appreciation towards Snowleap, and frankly, Gingerfrost couldn't help but feel a little confused as to why they approached him with this (she couldn't have them mixed up, now could she?). But their next words explained everything: pay her respects. And Gingerfrost's inhaled with realisation. She must think Pikestar- er, Snowlead, has passed, for her to be talking this way. So he shook his head, potentially cutting Russetpaw off if they had anymore to say.
"Pikestar... Snowleap, isn't dead."
He stated rather bluntly, casting a quick look around.
"He's probably around here somewhere."
Followed in a low murmur as he looked for their former leader's familiar pelt, but nothing came to sight right away. They must've missed the meeting, then. ...He wondered, just a little, how Snowleap would react to this news. But the tabby cast the thought aside, returning his attention to Russetpaw.

Dapplewing
Riverclan
He/Him

Well then. Dapplewing supposed that was all for the clan meeting. He flicked his tail, watching as Beansprout toddled off. Still, he had no strong opinions, but he was feeling rather hopeful now that everything was sorted out. He felt a little bit at ease, even. Now that they actually had a leader again, it was like a weight was lifted from his shoulders. The tom hummed to himself as he glanced around at his clanmates, observing their own reactions to the meeting’s end.

[ Open for interactions ]

[taillow]

Russetpaw
Not... dead? As much as that brought up a whole other slew of questions, the main thing that unfolded within the russet-furred feline was a sense of relief. It lightened their gaze and they gave an understanding now. Was Snowleap their new name, since they were no longer a leader? It was all still very... confusing, to say the least. Their head spun with trying to figure it all out, but for now they simply nodded to Gingerfrost. "Ah, okay. I must've... misunderstood. That's good to know." They weren't entirely certain how to end this interaction, because they also wanted to ask what they should be doing in the meantime since they hadn't received a mentor this meeting.

"Thank you, Gingerfrost." With an awkwardly shy smile, Russetpaw nodded again before turning around and looking to the group they had just been with. They hesitated, wondering if they should go over. But cats were dispersing, so the russet-furred somali simply headed away from the deputy and the group, trying to figure out what to do next.

[ Estelle ]

[BEAR.]

"Hmmph." It was his way of acknowledging both Lilycreek and Beansprout, before Tinystorm shakily rose back to his paws. Since the meeting was done, so was he - and he stiffly made his way back toward the warriors' den.

[stag]

Minnowpaw
They/He/It | Post Count: 24

With his questions answered, Minnow saw no reason to stay other than Gingy. “Sleepyfrost. Leaving, I’m tired like you. Bye, have a good night.” He mewed to the second in command before padding away with their stick and into the learners den.

Estelle - Small Ginger Mention

[Icewhisker_]

Breezefeather listened contentedly in her den, chin resting on paws. She barely knew Beansprout at all, but was confident he would make a good leader…there was something about him that just appealed to her. The young She-cats shuffled into a more comfortable position and presently fell asleep again.

~hello everyone! Have a great day! ~

Beansprout (https://beanstarrc.carrd.co/#bean-overview)

A lot had happened in the past few weeks, but none of it involved Beansprout getting his leader's name. Nevertheless, ceremonies hadn't been done since Snowleap had stepped down and some cats were long overdue for rank changes, mentor reassignments, and the like. So, with a hearty yowl as he sat atop the Streamstone, Beansprout announced, "All cats of RiverClan, gather for a Clan meeting!"

As he waited for cats to gather, he continued. "We have a lot of kits with ceremonies long overdue, so I hope you join in celebrating these young cats! We also have outsiders to introduce, news to give, and I will be opening the meeting to discussion at the end. So, if you stay after the ceremonies are over, you have an opportunity to express any thoughts and concerns you may have had lately." He figured giving a pretty general overview of the meeting couldn't hurt, and would give cats an idea of what to expect.


// next meeting post: 6/6 \\

6/6: kits in need of apprentice ceremonies will be called forward

I mean Minnowpaw could see why he didn’t, the only thing the “lives” gave Beansprout was a faster recovery than normal Non-Commanders. Perhaps if it thought hard enough they could ask for their parents back, Flowerleap and Troutblaze. Surly that was how it worked right, you just prayed hard enough? Welp, Minnowpaw’s ears were perked up to listen, softly holding their stick in his, a clear sign to hopefully not disturb him.

The small kitten yawned. He perked his ears up as he heard the leaders call. Even if he was young, there was no way he was going to miss a Clan meeting. He scampered out of the nursery and saw mister Beany on the Streamstone. There's Mister Beany! Rainkit thought. He scampered himself through the crowd until he got up to the front.

He was too young to talk yet, so he just let out a "Squeaak!" {Translation - Hi beany!} Now, the most important order of business. Who here could he annoy? He turned his head around to see if there were any open victims...

At Beansprout's call, Gingerfrost gathered beneath the streamstone. Ceremonies and mentor reassignments would finally be done, that was good. Subtly he noted Minnowpaw's presence, spotting the young cat in the crowd. Had he already been released from Stonepaw's den? He hadn't thought so, but mayhaps. His eyes remained on the kid for a few moments, before averting his gaze and looking over the gathering cats with a glance.

The tortie tilted her head as she looked at the cats gathered around so far, no one recognizable so far. She did though see another kit that was just letting out squeaks, ooh another young kit! with no hesitation she dashed over to the other kit already excited. "HI!

The fluffy kit padded to the Streamstone with a bounce in his step when Beansprout called the meeting. He may only be three moons, but because of the event Tinystorm hosted he was going to become an apprentice. This was the first time in a long time he had felt excitement. Perhaps if he was lucky, he would even get Tinystorm as a mentor!

The large calico she-cat made her way over to the Streamstone. She was a tad confused as she hadn't seen Beansprout in a while, but now he was calling a meeting. Had he even gone to the Starcave? Well, that would probably be addressed in this meeting.

Dapplewing
Riverclan
He/Him

Hearing a clan meeting being called by their leader, he padded out into the clearing to sit beneath the Streamstone. He eyed his apprentice as he passed him by, giving him a playful flick over the ears with his tail before he left him alone. He knew that he was already sitting with his sibling, and he wasn’t about to interrupt that, so he sat by himself for the time being.

Lionkit raced to find a good place to sit for the meeting. Sadly, many were already taken, and he had to settle sitting next to Springkit and Rainkit. Hopefully, they wouldn't annoy him too much. He was really excited to see if he would be apprenticed early for obviously being a child prodigy; even though he was obviously too young.

The small kitten yawned. He perked his ears up as he heard the leaders call. Even if he was young, there was no way he was going to miss a Clan meeting. He scampered out of the nursery and saw mister Beany on the Streamstone. There's Mister Beany! Rainkit thought. He scampered himself through the crowd until he got up to the front.

He was too young to talk yet, so he just let out a "Squeaak!" {Translation - Hi beany!} Now, the most important order of business. Who here could he annoy? He turned his head around to see if there were any open victims...

Rainkit turned his head when he saw another kit, Lionkit, pad up. "SQUEAK! SQUEAK SQUEA SQEE" He chirped at lionkit {Translation - HI FRIEND MY NAME IS RAINKIT}. Wowwie! There were so many cats! Rainkit was only a grain of sand on a large beach. I wonder what Mister Beany is going to talk about, he thought.

He turned to the Streamstone and crained his head upwards to catch a glimspe of Mister Beany. When Rainkit couldn't see beany, he tumbled backwards. He continued to do that until he was in full sight of mister beany. "SQUEAK! SQUEEAAK! SQUEEUEK!" he called out. {Translation - HEY MISTER BEANY! MISTER BEANY DO YOU HEAR ME!? MISTER BEANY}. He bounced uup and down until he started panting. He sat down to take a breath.

Silverpaw

Oooh, I wonder why did Beansprout call us, Silverpaw thought as he was reaching the Streamstone. Just then, he spotted his sibling in the crowd of cats. Minnow! he enjoyed, deciding to sit next to them.
"Hey!" he mewed towards Minnowpaw, as he was approaching him. A change to his sibling caught the apprentice's sight.
"Woah, what happened to your tail?!" he asked, impressed.

Minnowkit walked over with her tail bouncing behind her.
This was her second meeting ever attended! Minnowkit saw this as a milestone for herself. She was getting involved with the Clan! She continued to bounce over to the huge stone but her gaze caught on something interesting…
“Excuse me, Mr? (It was Mr, right?) Why do you have a stick with you?”
Solar - Minnowpaw
(You don’t have to respond!)

Minnowpaw had felt the faintest of eyes on them, turning slightly and spotting Gingerfrost. The learner felt the strong urge to make their way towards his father, this being stopped as Silverpaw and Minnowkit had located it in the crowd. "My stick? It uh.....helps me handle when stuff doesn't happen the way I expect? Do you wanna see it up close?" He had never had to explain it before...let alone to a mini-learner. Welp, here it goes. Minnowpaw very very reluctantly dropped the stick on the ground, moving it a tad closer to the kitten that had the same name as it. Mumbling as they did so.."don't break it please....I have a very big attachment to it....please"
"my tail...I....don't wanna talk about it...okay, Silver? Gingerfrost...knows...if you ask him.." their voice faded off at the end, green eyes meeting his brothers. The memory wasn't close to pleasant and they truely didn't think they had it in them to retell it to anyone but Papa. Speaking of Papa, Minnowpaw really just wanted to leave this spot, this conversation was not making him happy. But he wasn't leaving without his stick or ditching Silverpaw. "Silver? When Minnowkit is done with my stick...do you wanna sit near pap- Gingerfrost? I don't want to leave him all alone over there, ya know...."

Stonepaw

While he wasn't the biggest fan of Beansprout, he was glad to see that he at least knew that some cats were far behind on their apprentice ceremonies. Bri was nearly 10 moons and still was an apprentice. She needed to be an apprentice, and perhaps, this would be her chance. He sat near the front of the gathered cats, staring around for his sister.

Briarkit left the nursery. Today was the day. She was going to be an apprentice today. Finally. She had ripped those dumb cobwebs off long ago, and now all that remained of the injuries that set her back was a large dog bite on her shoulder and waist. Personally, she thought it looked badass. Glancing around for either Lilycreek, Silversnow or Stonepaw, she spotted her brother first so she padded over, sitting down hesitantly. "Hi Stonepaw, how're you doing?" Their father's disappearance had taken a toll on both siblings, and she felt the need to make sure her baby brother was doing okay.

If springkit was going to be honest with herself at this moment, she had no clue what this one was saying. She didn't quite understand what the squeaks meant, she could only assume it was them saying their name or at least trying too. "Squeak?" she asked aloud mainly to herself not really expecting an answer. Since she couldn't really understand what was trying to be conveyed to her she decided to give them a nickname. "I don't understand the language of squeak but I'll call you blue okay?" she smiled proud of herself. There goes the squeaking again, "OH I'm Springkit!" how rude of her to not tell them her name. She glanced around to see that Lionkit had joined her and Blue and she smiled at whatever accomplishment she had in her head. This kit seemed like a stick in the mud but apparently was willing to sit next to her and Blue. "We can play later after this meeting! Hey you need a nickname now!" she looked over at Lionkit grinning.

Lionkit spared a passing glance at the strange kit (Rainkit). He couldn't make sense of a single sound they made."I'm sorry, I don't speak mouse," He huffed in annoyance. That's what this kit reminded him of; a noisy little mouse. Befittingly to him, that's what he decided to nickname the blue-grey kit.

"...and as for you," he turned to Springkit, "You will only refer to me as Lionkit," He declared, sticking his nose up at the tortoiseshell.

Rainkit glared at Lionkit. A MOUSE? A MOUSE? A MOUSE!!!!!! He turned to face Lionkit. "SQUEE SQUEAKKAKA SQUKKKKK!!!!!" {Translation - WANT A MOUSE?? THIS IS THAT MOUSEEEE} He charged forward with the strength of a million cats, with fire as he ran, and was going to burn Lionkit.

In reality, He tumbled forward, his stubby little legs clomping, slowly heading for Lionkit, and stuck his head out to headbutt him into the Streamstome, Which was never gonna work. At the last moment, Rainkit toppled over, head over tail and landed flat. Now was the time to panic.

"SQUEAKKKKKK SQUEAAAAAAAAAAA SQUEEKAKSKAEEEEEE SKAWWWWWQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" He cried, throwing a tiny (and adorable) little temper tantrum on the ground, tumbling over. "SQJEEEE SQUEAKKAKAEAQE SQUEKAGFAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!" He twisted and turned. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY he thought. Poor Rainkit.

Lionkit watched as Mousekit (Rainkit) tumbled towards him, before writhing on the ground in a fit of rage. He stifled the laugh building in his chest.

"Don't scamper around like that Mousekit. The warriors might just add you to the prey pile!" He teased.

(Is it alr if Lionkit calls him by this rude nickname? Rainkit is super cute btw ^U^)

"My name. Is. Lionkit," He enunciated each word slowly as if he were speaking to a child; of which of course he was.

He then looked back at the angry kit, still rolling around and squeaking at him. He gave a short tsk at the silly display. "I didn't do anything wrong. It's not my fault he sounds like a mouse," he defended. "and looks like one too."

“Cool!”
Minnowkit leaned down to examine the stick closely, she saw sticks often, but who cares!
She wanted to ask more questions, but seeing as Minnowpaw had another cat to talk to she decided to not.
“Thanks for letting me see your stick! It’s really cool!”
She stood.
“Also, since we have the same name, and I’m becoming an apprentice soon, I wonder if they’ll have to change my name…” she paused as she realized what that meant. “Oooh… they’ll have to change my name…” Minnowkit furrowed her brow. “Wonder what it will be!” She began to walk away, mumbling to herself abo it all the possibilities.
Will Juniperkit and Autumnkit know who she is? No that was silly they know what she looks like. Minnowkit decided not to worry.

Rainkit tumbled forward to Lionkit and piped up to him, "SqEAK? SQEA SQEE SQUEEEEEE??" {Translation - Want to be my friend?} Rainkit didn't wait for a response and started purring {Which, thank StarClan, sounded like a purr}. He tumbled forward in an attempt to snuggle with Lionkit
