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

Beansprout was generally pleased about the number of cats who showed up to the meeting, though a frown could be seen on his face as he noticed none of his Shields had shown up yet. It was the beginning of the meeting, sure, and they could show up later. However, it was still a touch disappointing. He wouldn't linger on it, though; thanks to Tinystorm's event, there was a large crowd of kits waiting for their big announcement. He wouldn't delay it any further.

"Today, we have a wave of kits who have earned their apprentice name and status. Will the following kits come forward?" With a warm smile, he began. "Webkit [ ~LeafRabbit~ ], Winterkit [ dragonwind ]! Autumnkit, Ivykit, and Ravenkit [ Octavia! ]! Sunsetkit [ Pangoligon ], Spottedkit [ ~WallyDarling~ ], Juniperkit [ Silvershadow13 ], Talonkit [ Lillian ], Minnowkit [ Beetlenose ], Bumblekit [ Joeboe_Bean ], Cormorantkit [ ares ]! Beekit [ Cornbread1233 ], Springkit [ Leafie ], Briarkit [ jupiter ], Duckkit [ *Galaxy_Cats* ], Falconkit [ @crysanthemum ], and finally, Lionkit [ Woodlow ]!"

And now, he waited for the crowd of kids to gather beneath the Streamstone with a warm purr. Beansprout's fondness for kits was no secret, and it clearly showed in his body language now.

Briarkit

Standing from her spot next to Stonepaw, Briarkit let out a satisfied, relieved purr. At last. She was going to be an apprentice. No dog bite would keep her down, and she was determined, even though starting off 3 moons late, to become a warrior the second she turned 12 moons. She only had three moons to train, but that was the goal, and she planned to stick to it. Maybe she'd even beat Stone to getting a full name! Padding up to the base of the Streamstone, the large, scarred ginger tabby waited patiently, wanting to scream to the heavens.

Looking behind her, she knew Stone was here, but she felt the absence of her father painfully, so to mend the gap even slightly, she sought out Lilycreek. Are you proud of me? She wanted to ask the two cats, but stayed silent, turning back around. She wasn't left behind anymore. She was catching up.

Ah, he was late.

He hadn't meant to be, coming in from a quick patrol in the territory to clear his head. Since the death of Glisteningpaw, he had been a little... lost. Unsure of how to move forward. But there was no use in sitting around moping. Instead, he silently joined the group of gathered cats, sitting down and looking up toward Beansprout. Just in time to see the kits who would be joining the apprentices. He could only wish they would remain safe.

the day has finally come for Sunsetkit to become an apprentice! They didn't expect to be able to become an apprentice early but it makes it more exciting that way! By becoming an apprentice they were one step closer to becoming a warrior of riverclan. Sunsetkit stepped forward with a smilling expression on them; They wondered which cat Beansprout will assign to be their mentor. Hopefully someone nice!

Bumblekit was buzzing with excitement as she quickly glanced at her dad and mums before scurrying clumsily forward with the many other kittens. Some of the kits were bigger than her; made sense, she was only 3 moons old. ...That won't stop me from being an apprentice, right? she wondered, but quickly forgot as she was swept back up in the excitement of the moment.

Puddlekit took a step forward, but Sunfall held out her paw to stop him. "Dear, they didn't say your name," she mewed softly down to the tomkit. Puddlekit tipped his head.

"... but Bumblekit went. So, I go, too!" he meeped, hopping up and down. He couldn't wait to be an apprentice.

Amberspark leaned over to him as well. "Rainy, they only called Bumble up. I'm sorry," she purred, hoping the little kit wouldn't be too devastated.

Except, he was was. Puddlekit blinked in confusion at the crowd of kits infront of Beansprout. Well, maybe it was a mistake, he thought, sadly plopping back down between Amberspark and Berryfur.

She glanced sideways at the other kits around her that were also going to become apprentices, and gave off a large beaming grin. “This is exciting! I can’t wait to finally become an apprentice!” She exclaimed, smiling attentively as she looked up at Big Beanie. Goodness, she felt relieved to see the tom up there, practically bounding on her paws as she stared up at him.

Stonepaw

He moved to the side to let his sister arrive, turning to give her a smile as she sat down. "Hi!" He didn't want to think about anything else that had happened recently- not Silversnow or Martenkit or Dad. Right now, all he wanted to do was sit by his sister and watch the meeting. Beansprouts voice called out from above the Streamstone, and he turned to smile at Briarkit. "Finally!" Took him long enough. There seemed to be something else pulling at her features as she awaited her mentor, and it took a moment to figure out. He didn't want to mention him, but the hole in their hearts would only widen if they tried to forget. "Dad would be proud."

She was going to make sure everyone knew she was there that was a fact. ”well it’d just you and me now blue but that’s okay!” she didn’t mind being near or trying to talk to the younger. Then right as she was going to say something else, her name was called by the big dude, oh good. ”Ill be back blue,okay?” she didn’t wait on a reply from them as she ran off. Springkit was all kinds of excited she was finally going to be an apprentice no longer would she be a kit. Once she made her way to the front the torbie took a seat by her other two siblings, it seemed summerkit was nowhere to be seen and it made her upset a bit.

So many kits were being apprenticed during this meeting, and it made him quite excited! It’s not like he was related to any of these little ones, nor was he due for an apprentice–but seeing the clan growing was enough to light the fire of excitement beneath his paws. Being apprenticed was certainly one of the most exciting moments in Dapplewing’s own life, and he wouldn’t doubt that sentiment was shared with a vast handful of his clanmates, either.

With a soft purr erupting from his chest, he watched as the young ones gathered together for their upcoming apprentice ceremony.

Falconkit stumbled forward towards her leader, hardly able to believe what was happening. Her head felt foggy; she just couldn’t comprehend that this was possible. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to CALM DOWN.
As calmly as she was able to, she walked the rest of the way and sat beside the other kits.

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

With all the apprentices but one present and ready for their ceremonies, Beansprout didn't see a point in delaying things any longer. He held meetings frequently enough, and if Spottedkit wanted to become an apprentice at the next meeting, he could fulfill that request. For now, though, a flock of kids stood before him, and it was time to give them new names.

"I'm so glad I can name this many apprentices, especially since we have so few now as-is. So, without further ado, get ready to meet your new mentors."

"Webkit [ ~LeafRabbit~ ], you are now known as Webpaw. Your mentor will be Bluefang [ CreeperLover649 ].

"Winterkit [ dragonwind ], you will now be known as Winterpaw. Your mentor will be Nightfall [ Bean. ].

"Autumnkit [ Octavia! ], from this day forward, you will be known as Autumnpaw. Your mentor is Briarfang [ The Doctor ].

"Ivykit [ @/Octavia! ], you will be known as Ivypaw. Hollytail [ Snowyfeathr ] will be your mentor.

"Ravenkit [ @/Octavia! ], you are now Ravenpaw. Your mentor shall be Rainglow [ sock ].

"Sunsetkit [ Pangoligon ], you are now called Sunsetpaw. Troutstone [ @/~LeafRabbit~ ] will be training you.

"Juniperkit [ Silvershadow13 ], your apprentice name is Juniperpaw. Your mentor will be Snowstripe [ Silverfur & Co ].

"Talonkit [ Lillian ], you will now be known as Talonpaw. Tinystorm [ BEAR. ] will mentor you.

"Minnowkit [ Beetlenose ] -- as we already have a Minnowpaw [ Solar ] in RiverClan, your new name shall be Wavepaw. Your mentor will be Whitesnake [ WinterMara ].

"Bumblekit [ Joeboe_Bean ], you will be known as Bumblepaw, and your mentor will be Darktwist [ Shade. ].

"Cormorantkit [ ares ]. You'll be known as Cormorantpaw, and Graytail [ ~_LuzuraTheTitan_~ ] will be your mentor.

"Beekit [ Cornbread1233 ], your new name will be Beepaw. Lakeblossom [ @/silvershadow13 ] will train you to become a warrior.

"Springkit [ Leafie ], you shall be known as Springpaw. Wispwatcher [ ameko ] will be your mentor.

"Briarkit [ jupiter ]. This ceremony is long overdue. Your name is now Briarpaw; I entrust Pebblesplash [ Loveless.Fawn ] to be your mentor.

"Duckkit [ *Galaxy_Cats* ], you are now Duckpaw. Your mentor will be Ferretsnap [ lio ].

"Falconkit [ Chrysanthemum ], You will now be known as Falconpaw. Sharpwhisker [ @/*galaxy_cats* ] will be your mentor.

"Last, but not least, Lionkit [ Woodlow ], you are now Lionpaw. Darklight [ @/jupiter ] will be training you.

"May the Star Cats above bless these young cats as they begin their journey to becoming warriors. Webpaw! Winterpaw! Autumnpaw! Ivypaw! Ravenpaw! Sunsetpaw! Juniperpaw! Talonpaw! Wavepaw! Bumblepaw! Cormorantpaw! Beepaw! Springpaw! Briarpaw! Duckpaw! Falconpaw! Lionpaw!"

Stars and Moon above, Beansprout was out of breath. He paused to let the new apprentices soak in the moment, meet with their new mentors, and hopefully hear the rest of the Clan join in chanting their names. The siamese was content for now, and if one listened closely, a rumbling purr could be heard from the Streamstone. Once things began to die down, he continued the meeting.

"A few apprentices have come to me seeking new mentors. Will the following apprentices please step forward? Smokepaw [ @/octavia! ], Blueberrypaw [ @/~_luzurathetitan_~ ], Peachpaw, Cinderpaw [ Queen_Coral ]. Any other apprentices seeking reassignment may step forward at this time as well."

It was a shame that so many cats needed new mentors, but it was, unfortunately, the norm at this point. Cats went missing left and right; it was more difficult to find an apprentice who has only had one mentor than it was to find a rabbit in the wintertime. Shaking out his pelt, Beansprout watched to see who would gather this time.

Yeah, they needed a new mentor but that was- What! A name change! Woah! Woah! Woah! No way he just changed her name like that?!? Why did she have to get her name changed and not them?? The learner stepping swiftly through the crowd closer to the Streamstone. “Wait! Wait! Beansprout! Change my name instead! Let her keep the prefix Minnow and change mine, I’m more than happy to pass it down. Please, change mine instead!” Minnowpaw yelped towards the scarred tomcat. Green eyes meeting his or at least trying too. Yeah, Minnowpaw was attached to their name but, he had it’s fun with it. It was time to let someone else have it, and Minnowkit was the perfect example of that.

Darklight

You have got to be kidding me. The former ShadowClan warrior looked up at the leader, catbrows raised, as he was informed of the unfortunate news that he was now entrusted with the training of a child. No matter. He was here until the battle, then he'd take his kits and either go home to ShadowClan or start a new life somewhere else. Rising to his paws, the massive scarred tomcat looked around for this 'Lionpaw'. Once he found him, the tom imperiously dipped his head shallowly to tap noses, if the apprentice would allow him, then pulled back to scrutinize the kid.

"Greetings, tiny soldier. I am Darklight, and I'll be guiding you on your path to warriorhood. I'm sure we'll get along well."

Briarkit

"Finally!"She agreed with a chuckle as she stepped up. Her heart was twisted slightly at Stonepaw's parting words, but she offered him an uncertain, grateful smile. Would he? Are you? Wherever their Dad was, would he really be proud? She wanted to think so. He wasn't a bad guy.

Bri's search through the crowd to locate Lilycreek was successful, and she was quick to shoot a smile at the queen, feeling an excited tingle in her paws. Emerald met emerald, and Briarkit felt her chest swell. Okay. The two most important cats in the Clan to her were here. Catching Lilycreek mouthing something, her brow creasing as she tried to understand.

Proud of you.

The phrase she had coveted, searched for, for so long now spoken- or mouthed, to her, and she felt like a cloud. Like she could float away. The molly beamed, and then mouthed a quick, thank you before turning to face the leader at the sound of the ceremonies starting. The large ginger tabby waited patiently, shuffling her paws in anticipation.

"Damn right it is." She muttered softly at the leader's words, but said nothing more. Briarkit didn't even feel her usual temper flare up like it typically would. Blame the dog, she said. If it weren't for that dumb dog, she would've been Briarpaw a long time ago. Quirking an eyebrow as she was given a mentor- Pebblesplash- and hailed as Briarpaw, it was all she could do to not jump up and down with glee. At last.

All she wanted to do now was run to Stonepaw and Lilycreek and celebrate, but she didn't, because she knew she had to find her new mentor. Then she could go and see her loved ones. Moving to pad up to Pebblesplash (after shooting Stonepaw and Lilycreek an excited grin, of course), the scarred apprentice blinked up at the warrior confidently. "It's nice to meet you. I'm excited to train with you." She smiled, rolling her torn shoulders with the slightest hint of nerves. And sadness, because she wished her father was here to see it.

Lionpaw shouldn't have felt as angry as he did, but he couldn't tear his thoughts away from the fact that Beansprout had apprenticed him last. Last?!

He named me last on purpose! What does that dirt-head have against me?!

He scoffed and eased the rage bubbling in his chest. It was pointless to get so worked up about this. Now, who was his mentor again? He was too absorbed in his own thoughts that he forgot which warrior he was assigned to. That was until a deep voice called out beside him.

"Greetings, tiny soldier. I am Darklight, and I'll be guiding you on your path to warriorhood. I'm sure we'll get along well." he said. Tiny soldier? Lionpaw smirked, delighted to be addressed with such a respectful title.

He took note of Darklight's scrutinizing stare and studied him back. This warrior was massive, with scars littering his body like flies clinging to rotting flesh. He must get into a lot of fights. He looked to be the coolest warrior here, and Lionpaw felt lucky to have him. He was sure to become the best fighter here with him as his mentor!

Lionpaw padded closer and leaned up to the large tom. He quickly pressed his nose against his, sealing the oath that binds a mentor and apprentice together until the end of training.

"Yes, I think we'll get along perfectly!"

Cormorantpaw… That was her name now. The pure joy of being no longer a kit throbbed throughout the young feline, Cormorantpaw bounding up and down as she excitedly squealed happily. If only were her siblings and mama here to see this! Which, speaking of, were were they? Confusion quickly began to emerge around the young tabby’s yellow depths as she briefly glanced around for her siblings, disappointment shielding herself when she caught no familiar pelts of her family. However, her eyes did catch the familiar pelt of Graytail, her new mentor, and Cormorantpaw gleefully rushed over towards the molly, tail twitching as she toothily grinned up at her. “Hi! You’re my new mentor, right? I can’t wait to start training! When could we start?” Excited rambling escaped Cormorantpaw’s maw, the molly unable to keep herself still as she reached her nose out for them to bump noses with each other.

|~ Sunsetpaw - they/them ~| Sunsetkit was listening closely, as Beansprout called each of the kits that was turning an apprentice... and after Ravenkit was Sunsetkit, now Sunsetkit was now Sunsetpaw; an apprentice! They looked around for the mentor that'll be training them, Troutstone; the newly appointed apprentice walked over to their mentor, keeping their excitedness contained...for now at least "hi Troutstone!" they mewed; smiling as usual. They couldn't wait to start training soon

Great stars of StarClan. That was a lot of new apprentices, and there were more to be re-assigned. Troutstone had lost given up on trying to keep track of who was going to who after around three. As for calling out their names? Well that though could go up... He was disturbed from his thoughts by someone speaking his name. He looked down and saw one of the newly turned apprentices. He froze, eyes clouded in confusion. Surely not. He glanced at Beansprout then back to the apprentice. "Uhhh- Hi..." Embarrassment flooded his pelt. How had he not even heard his own name being spoken? And stars, he didn't know his own apprentice's name. "Sorry, I lost track. Which one were you?" That could have gone better.

Autumnpaw proudly recieved her new name, smiling beside her siblings, feeling still upset that Summerkit wasn't with her, and Winterpaw and Springpaw. The tricoloured tortoiseshell let out a purr. "Do you think your mentors are gonna be strict?" she asked her seasonal siblings before seeing if she could find their mother among the crowd. The first thing Ivypaw wanted to do after basking in glory for five seconds was search for whoever her new mentor was. Hollytail sounded promising. Their name reminded the brown tabby of her sister, Holly, who ended up getting mauled by foxes. If she was among the coveted stars, Ivypaw hoped she, as well as Ivy, and Burr, were as well. Ravenki- Ravenpaw- however was a nervous wreck. He waited for his mentor to approach him. No social interactions whatsoever. The black tom flicked his white tipped tail anxiously waiting. Smokepaw stood up, waiting for her reassignment. Hoo, boy, I hope I get someone good. The smoke torbie let out a sigh and she wished for the best.

Pride flared in Blizzardnight's chest. Those were her kits! "Springpaw! Winterpaw! Autumnpaw! Wavepaw!" So many thought were racing through her mind. Minnowkit's name change, though she heard something of what the other Minnowpaw had said, how absent Summerkit was from the ceremony. But what she felt most keenly was her own loss. Her kits were leaving the nursery, leaving her behind. Don't get her wrong, she was happy for them all, but she still wished she could have gotten a little more time.

A small smile played across his face. There. There at last he had done it. He was Webpaw now. Soon as his mentor had been assigned, Webpaw spun around and began looking for his mentor. Bluefang. A bulky white tom with green and amber eyes came to mind. And there he was. Webpaw marched over and looked him in the eye. "Are you a good fighter?" He demanded, brown eyes hard. "Are you going to teach me everything you know about being a good warrior?" He asked in such a way that it was obvious that it had better be a yes for both.

Wow. Speacklemist began to chant out all the new apprentice's names. She was quite happy for them all.

Her clanmate’s shouts of welcome echoed through Falconpaw’s mind. She was Falconpaw now. An apprentice! Falconpaw could barely continue standing, her legs were so weak with joy and disbelief. Somehow, she was able to force herself to walk towards the cat who would be her mentor. She could feel a purr rising in her throat as she reached up to touch noses with Sharpwhisker.

He sat down a distance from his mentor and watched the meeting, already growing bored and impatient.

An apprentice…?

PebbleSplash quietly listens to BeanSprout speak, listening off cats and assigning apprentices to mentors… It made her quiet proud of how many cats had achieved their new positions… Wow, so many apprentices… It was expected, however, when she was assigned to a kit with a ceremony LONG overdue… Oh, BriarPaw…? That poor mollie should’ve had a ceremony a moon ago… Poor kitten… Well, now PebbleSplash was their mentor… It was a good thing, too.

Making her way over to the she-cat, she dipped her head. It seems that BriarPaw was so eager to learn, that she introduced herself before dear Pebs could even get a word out. Chuckling softly, she touches noses with the other she-cat. “I promise I’ll do the best that I can…” she mews gently, taking a seat beside her apprentice… It seemed the two had similar scars… What a shame that a young cat had to deal with such an injury…

Some say that your scars only make one stronger… But if one is just a kit, why must they be strong? It is the role of the parents to protect their young… and yes, the dog attack was inevitable, but the injured young could’ve totally been prevented and protected. If only she was well enough, if only she was there… From now on, PebbleSplash promised that the youth of her clan would come before her… It was her duty as a warrior…

Letting out a sigh, she slouches a bit in place, watching the meeting.

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

A couple of small interjections piqued the leader's attention, and he figured it was better to address these now than have them come up later. First up was the familiar Minnowpaw, with an odd request. Change it's name instead of Wavepaw's? The apprentice sounded sincere on the matter, so Beansprout figured he could honor this request. With a nod of his head, he spoke to Minnowpaw. "That's a very kind request, and you seem serious, so I'll grant it. Minnowpaw [ Solar ], from this day forward, you will be known as Mumblepaw. Wavepaw [ Beetlenose ], you are now Minnowpaw. May you uphold the 'Minnowpaw' name well, and make each other proud." They may be kids, but there seemed to be a strong connection between Mumblepaw and Minnowpaw. he hoped that would last as long as it could.

Secondly, he noticed Blizzardnight [ ~LeafRabbit~ ] and Summerkit [ |~SkzStayForever~| ]. Reasonably, the kit seemed upset that he wasn't made an apprentice at this meeting. With a remorseful tone, Beansprout objected. "I'm afraid I can't make Summerkit an apprentice yet, as he hasn't met the requirements yet and didn't attend Tinystorm's event. I'm sorry," He hoped to name this kit an apprentice at the next meeting; being left behind was never fun. And with that, Beansprout went back to waiting for the mentorless apprentices to step forward.

From Minnowpaw to Mumblepaw. They liked that, they loved it actually. Give a smile to the leader before speaking. “Thank you.” Happiness dripping from their words, his eyes turning to Minnowpaw. “Hold on for a moment, I have something for you, Minnowpaw” Oh yeah, that was going to take some time to get used too. Mumblepaw nodded towards the younger cat, padding back to where they were and picking up their stick. Walking back to the Shecat, the stick was easy enough to break considering it was dried out and worn down. Mumblepaw did have to put in some work to actually break it though, but this was worth it. Now with a small crack sound, Mumblepaw managed to snap the stick in half. Paw one of the now two sticks moving one of them closer to Minnowpaw. “You have stress stick.

Picking up the other half of their and Minnowpaw’s stick and padding to the front. Shooting their father another glance and smile. Turning their head back around, Mumblepaw joined their fellow learners at the front. A new mentor was a great opportunity to learn the tunnels was it not? Mumblepaw would’nt be surprised if Beansprout assigned them to someone who has never entered them though. That was a funny thought, he was probably the only learner to enter the tunnels in moons. When had they been forgotten about? Lionstar. Even that was eons ago, jeez. Mumblepaw did like the idea of restoring them though, it would give it something to do during the slow days of training. But all of this was based on if Beansprout even let them back into the tunnels.

She lowered her head and voice, speaking directly to the apprentice,
“After the meeting is done, I will take you around the territory, so you can get familiar with it.”

(For Beepaw’s training I am gonna set up a private thread, if that’s okay)

"Ok!" A tour around the territory sounded exciting! For now, Beepaw turned her attention back to Beansprout's announcements.

Briarfang looked up in surprise as he was called Autumnpaw's mentor, he felt a gentle nudge and saw his mate smiling encouragingly "Aren't you going to say hello to you new apprentice" she asked softly Briarfang let out a sigh "Of course I am I'm just a little nervous but I'll go now then you should get some rest I'll see you later" he said and gave Mistfire a quick nuzzle then padded towards his new apprentice "Um hey Autumnpaw I guess I'm your new mentor so what ya want to do first?" the dark brown tabby said slightly nervous but put on a friendly smile.

Autumnpaw thought for a moment. "Territory tour?" she meowed sheepishly to her new mentor. Oh dear, let's hope nothing goes wrong... She felt a pang of sadness when Summerkit wouldn't be named with her, Springpaw and Winterpaw. She let out a sigh and waited for her mentor.

Hollytail

Hollytail was surprised to be picked as a mentor, but he got up and looked around for his new apprentice. Ivypaw. He hoped she wouldn't be annoying. but knowing how apprentices were, he kind of expected it. He then spotted his apprentice. "Greetings Ivypaw" he meowed, padding over to her.

Octavia!

Ivypaw scurried off towards Hollytail. "Hey," she meowed, "What will we be doing first?" She personally didn't care, as long as she could get something done.

Ravenpaw, still uncomfortable with his new status as an apprentice, looked for Rainglow. Did I do something wrong? Do they not like me? He resisted the urge to start crying.

She/Her

From where she sat in a corner, babbling away to a pebble, Minkkit was entirely unawares to her surroundings. Until she heard two very familiar names, that was; Lionkit and Ivykit. She supposed they were Lionpaw and Ivypaw now. That didn't make any sense, though. They were still. . . Hm....

Getting up from her spot, the silvery-white kitten toddled over to where Lionpaw was, attempting to jab his side with a petite paw. "Why name?" She asked curiously, trying to poke him again. "Still small. Moon says you're still small."

"I don't have time for your crazy mumblings Minkkit, me and Darklight have training to do!" he scowled and slapped her paw away. "Why don't you go back to the nursery and make friends with some more flies~"

Darklight

At this moment, the large fighter wasn't sure if this would be such a terrible thing after all. Lionpaw seemed to be smart, eager. Darklight slowly leaned down to meet the kid halfway, touching his nose to theirs. "A very tiny soldier, indeed." He mused to himself. This child still had a hint of kit fluff, exactly how old was his new apprentice? It was times like this that he missed his dear elder brother back in ShadowClan, because dearest Bearbite would be able to make sense of why the leader would allow a 2-3 moon old become an apprentice.

If Darkflight wasn't a cruel, sadistic creature he would feel protective over the little one. But no. He wouldn't become a good warrior if he was coddled. Turning to stare imposingly down at the little pale she-kit that toddled over, speaking strangely, he quirked a catbrow. This was precisely why he never cared to make himself aware of the kitten's names. Or anyone unworthy of his acknowledgment. Peering down his nose at the kit with a small smirk, the shadow warrior nodded approvingly of his apprentice's words, almost speaking up at the slap, but deciding against it. If two kits were playing, and one crossed a line, the other had a right to draw the boundary line. It was only fair. "And you are smaller, child." Letting out a rumbling chuckle, he nodded to his student.

"We do indeed, Lionpaw. After the meeting, I'll take you out for training. Little lassie, why don't you run along, now, me and my apprentice are discussing our training and needn't be disturbed." He disliked children generally except for his own that Dovefluff had surely given birth to by now, andn now Lionpaw. It certainly was a short list.

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

As the apprentices stepped forward, Beansprout found himself frowning. He was severely disappointed with the number of apprentices that even needed reassigning. The siamese was determined to, hopefully, pick mentors who would stick around for these kids.

"Thank you all for stepping forward. I hope that your new mentors see you through to the end of your training.

"Mumblepaw [ Solar ], your new mentor will be Flamebriar [ Lillian ].

"Blueberrypaw [ ~_LuzuraTheTitan_~ ], your new mentor is Bluestone [ Queen_Coral ].

"Peachpaw [ @/Queen_Coral ], your new mentor is going to be Redsea [ r0sali3 ].

"Cinderpaw [ @/Queen_Coral ], you will be training under Petuniafire [ Catherine ].

"Daypaw [ TawnyNeedsACoffee ], your mentor will be Lilyleaf [ CreeperLover649 ].

Ashpaw [ @/~_LuzuraTheTitan_~ ], your mentor is now Firelight [ Beamheart ].

Finally, I will mentor Smokepaw [ Octavia! ] to finish out her apprenticeship."

With the staggering number of new apprentices and ones that needed reassignment, Beansprout didn't mind picking up the training of one or even two. He knew he was in RiverClan to stay, and if he could provide stable mentorship, something he hadn't experienced, Beansprout would gladly sacrifice some of his time.

Now, for the next matter at paw. "If any former outsider wishes to be formally introduced to RiverClan, you may come forward and be recognized now. If you wish to stay in the crowd, though, that's okay. I will announce all names; it's up to you whether or not to be publically recognized."

The newly named Bumblepaw was tingling with excitement, eyes alight with elation. She spun around to look for her mentor, Darktwist. Bumblepaw then realized she had a problem; she had never met Darktwist. She had no clue who they were or what they looked like. Maybe she'd seen them around camp, but she didn't recall. Tipping her head, the yellow and brown she-kit hoped they might come over to her.

Puddlekit sat between Berryfur and Amberspark. The little mottled grey tom nuzzled into his father's side sadly. "Why'd they not call me up?" Puddlekit asked miserably, blue eyes watery with tears. Berryfur blinked down at him.
"It's alright! They can't keep you from being an apprentice forever!" the white tom pointed out, loudly. He nosed his son. "Maybe they they just don't have a mentor good enough for you yet."

Mumblepaw nodded to Beansprout, mouthing the words thank you to him. The calico turned around, eyes searching through each warrior in the crowd. The learner paused as they weaved their way to her. The faintest thought of what the Shecat was like popped into its mind, which ended in a fruitless chase. Finally as they got the full image of her in his vision, he halted and asked one question. “Tunnels? You . In. Tunnels? Ever? Also.

Minkkit blinked, first one eye and then the other, as she stared blankly up at Lionkit and his mentor, whats-his-name?.The former had slapped her paw away, but Minkkit didn't seem to mind, nor did she seem to care. If anything, she shuffled closer. "Training?" She questioned, brow furrowing. "That's silly, yellow-cat. You're so small and little."

Nodding to herself at this totally wonderful piece of information, Minkkit pointed with a frail paw at something over Darklight's shoulder. Of course, if the mentor and apprentice actually turned around to look at what she was pointing to... it was just thin air. "There are shadows beside you. See? And I can't make anymore fly friends, silly. That's just not done. The dead fly is going to fly again, you see."

Lionpaw craned his head to look over Darklight's shoulder, and low and behold nothing was there. This kit must have got bees in her brain if she was starting to see things now. He hadn't the faintest idea what she was talking about, and quite frankly didn't give a mousetail. He just wanted her anywhere away from him.

"Would you quit saying that! I am not small you bee-brain, I'm the perfect size for a cat my age," Lionpaw's fur fluffed with growing annoyance. His temper was as short as his tail, which was beginning to lash back and forth. He had had it with her crazy ramblings and decided she needed to learn a lesson.

"Darklight told you to go back to the nursery, so go already!" He didn't see Wheatkit or any other cat that might step in and stop him, and it seemed his mentor approved, or at least didn't care, of his harsh treatment towards Minkkit. With this knowledge, he leaned in closer and attempted to slap her across the face, purposely leaving his claws unsheathed.

Darklight

Oh dear. It seemed as though this little she-kit may have hit her head. He looked behind himself, and with an annoyed grunt, looked back. The young molly was spewing confusing stuff that he wasn't even going to attempt to decode, merely rocking back as Lionpaw began to spit out angry words. Oh, anger. A friend he had betrayed in honor of his new identity in this Clan. "Use your words.... use your words..." He hummed warningly, manifesting a non-physical Minkkit beatdown, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Only when his apprentice moved, claws out to the young kit, did the shadow warrior move, swift as a snake, to shield Minkkit's face with his paw, not even batting a whisker at the tiny claws scraping his paw.

"Lesson one." He boomed, tsking softly. "Unless you wish to be exiled- literally or socially, do not strike one of your Clanmates. Your Clanmates will stand beside you in battle and are your kin, whether you get along with them or not. You do not raise a paw to them unless in self defense, even if they're being crazy pains in the ass.." He wasn't... angry. More miffed, he just didn't want his volatile apprentice to be moved back to the nursery. "Lashing out physically against a Clanmate is the action of a kit. You are an apprentice now, and I expect you to act like it. Do you understand me?" He glanced, irritated, at Minkkit, so she would know that he wasn't on her side in the slightest. He was only ever on his own side.

Exhausted.

Raccoonpelt felt exhausted. Once again Raccoonpelt was laying down sleeping in his and his last two remaining kits nest. Before Raccoonpelt had went to sleep he had made sure both his kits were in the nest. Though when he awoke this time he lifted up his striped tail to check on his children and lo and behold. Minkkit was gone. This time Raccoonpelt didn't exactly panic for he knew Minkkit wouldn't get very far especially with her size. The tom likcked the top of Flintkits head before getting up and exiting the nursery. Ah, looks like it was another meeting. Raccoonpelt didn't care about that. Tired Yellow eyes scanned the clearing for his last daughter. The tom spotted the pale fur of his kit and another kit along with a warrior that Raccoonpelt didn't know the name of nor did he exactly care, why should he?

Raccoonpelt started to make his way over to the three before seeing the cream colored kit lift up their paw and try and strike his daughter though the unnamed warrior stopped it. Raccoonpelt felt his ears pin back as he quickly went over to them. Once he reached them he went to wrap a paw around Minkkit and tried to pull her close to him with a small glare to the kit. Yes, it was petty of him to be glaring at a child but Raccoonpelt wasn't just going to stand by and let his own kid get hit. Raccoonpelt then looked at the warrior and could see the irritation in his eyes.

"Quit looking at my daughter like that."

When Lionpaw moved to hit her, Minkkit didn't even bother flinch - or move. More likely, she didn't even realize she was about to be hit. She just sat there like a porcelain doll, eyeing Darklight curiously as he thrust his paw infront of her face. To eat? Hm. Maybe that was what Mr. whatshisname wanted her to do. She'd just been about to lean forward to gnaw on Darklight's paw when it moved away again, leaving Minkkit's little canines to snap on thin air. Oh. There went her snack.

"Aaasss?" Minkkit repeated Darklight's word, mouth forming the word questioningly. After a moment, though, she practically forgot her earlier plight of the loss of a snack and a confusing word, instead reverting to trying to pat Darklight's tail. "It's okay, Mister Sir." She meowed conversationally. "There's only a little red-" The runt's words cut short as a dark-furred paw grasped her from behind, pulling her into the comfort of a familiar, overly fluffy stomach. "Oh, hello papa. I made friends, see? Are you proud of me?" And then, wriggling out of Raccoonpelt's grasp, Minkkit peered around her father to look at his tail, where Flintkit usually hid. Except, her shy kitten of a brother wasn't there. "Where is Flinty? We go look for Flinty?"

He reeled his paw back, shocked that Darklight had stepped in. He listened intently to the mini-lecture and nodded along. No one had ever told him off before and the threat of punishment quickly silenced his anger, but still left room for irritation at not being able to hit his clanmates anymore.

What was he supposed to do when someone ticked him off? Well, he supposed he could still get away with giving them a piece of his mind.

He took Darklight's lecture seriously. Lionpaw was no kit anymore, he was a warrior in training! No matter what that bird-brained Minkkit thought. He noticed his mentor shoot an irritated glance at Minkkit as a long-haired tom came to pull her away from the conversation.

Finally, thought Lionpaw, is this Minkkit's father? He wondered if she got her craziness from him too, he wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. The tom glared at him, and for a quick moment Lionpaw feared he had read his thoughts. He shuffled behind his mentor.

For once in his life Lionpaw kept his thoughts to himself, eager to get away from Minkkit and her father.

Darkflight

It was good that Lionpaw received his words well, so the tom considered that a job well done.Friends? How the hell- No. I'm not even going to try. What a peculiar kid. Prepared to settle back down to enjoy the meeting, he was then bothered by the immense displeasure of the strange girl's father. Oh, goodie. The Help has arrived. "Spare me." He snorted softly, glancing down at Minkkit before looking back at the father. "I do believe that without my intervention, your precious spawn would have clawmarks in her face. So I believe that the appropriate response to this situation would be to thank me, but considering that you're blinded by paternal love and won't think rationally when it comes to your child, I won't waste my breath."

Hanging out with these children really made him question his evil plan to go get his own spawn back. It did remind him why he was a psychopath, though. It was very tempting to just reach over and- No. No. He wasn't going to start that again. He had a mission. A mission! Especially seeing a former ShadowClan warrior like himself turn into a weak mess around his daughter... Darklight was too far in to go back now but he felt much less enthused about parenthood, even if it was through murder and kitnapping.

Scoffing and smirking at Raccoonpelt's weak defense, he turned and sat down. "Dearest Lionpaw, why don't you sit with me and allow the nice tom to usher the young lady away." He murmured calmly, lucid, icy eyes darting back up to Beansprout.

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

As he was about to announce the new arrivals to RiverClan, a small scuffle caught Beansprout's eye. At first, it just appeared to be a squabble between Minkkit and the newly named Lionpaw, so he didn't pay it too much mind. That was, until Lionpaw attempted to smack Minkkit's head. He couldn't see from up on the Streamstone, but from Darklight's words, it seemed the new apprentice had tried to claw Minkkit. Darklight had properly chewed Lionpaw out, but Beansprout interjected anyway. "Don't make me regret making you an apprentice, Lionpaw. I still have the power to make you into a 'kit again. Thank you, Darklight. Don't hesitate to let me know if Lionpaw has any more problems."

Now, with that out of the way, he could focus on the new Clan members: Moonkit [ FruitBat ], who had stepped forward already, and Russetpaw [ birdie ], who was nowhere to be seen. Beansprout had heard in passing that the latter hadn't fully integrated into the Clan yet, at least socially, so he wasn't too surprised.

"During the past moon, we have had the pleasure of welcoming two new cats into RiverClan. Moon, now Moonkit, is staying in the nursery, and Indigo, now Russetpaw, is an apprentice. I hope to see both of them grow and thrive in this Clan." He smiled down at Moonkit, remembering finding the kid at Cattail Pond not too long ago. Beansprout let the words sink in before continuing to the next part of the meeting.

"Now, for news: if any of you weren't aware, we have had three Clanmates found dead in the past half-moon. Silversnow, Martenkit, and Antlerstreak are no longer with us. May they rest happily in StarClan." He took a moment and bowed his head, offering respect to the dead. "Please, be on the lookout for lynx in the territory. I want patrols to consist of no less than four cats, and there should be at least two warriors per patrol. Ideally, three, but as we have an influx of apprentices, I know that isn't possible at times." With a flick of his tail, Beansprout continued. "Since the last meeting, there has seemed to be a decrease in Twoleg activity in and around the territory, but keep your guard up. As always, if you see anything suspicious or possibly dangerous, don't hesitate to tell me. My den is always open."

"I have not yet gone to the Starcave or received my name; I fear with all the deaths and danger, I've been too preoccupied. I do hope to get them by the next meeting, though my first priority is keeping RiverClan safe as best as I can," the siamese spoke apologetically. He hoped this wouldn't make other cats doubt his leadership. Though, if they did, he supposed, Beansprout could pretty easily handle that.

With a swift lick of his paw, Beansprout tidied his chest fur and then switched topics. "On the topic of inter-Clan news, I have quite a bit. Recently, a ShadowClan cat managed to slip into camp and threatened our kits while they were training with Tinystorm. After chasing him out and trying to talk to Dawnstar, to no avail so far, I have a proposal. Our camp needs regular guards to prevent things like this from happening again. They don't happen too often, but they do still happen. So, what do all of you think about adding a new rank to RiverClan: the Camp Guards?" After a brief pause, the leader spoke again. "These cats will be exempt from hunting, patrolling, and other warrior duties. Their full-time job will be guarding and protecting the camp. They may still do other warrior duties if they choose, but they are not required to." With that, Beansprout awaited his Clan's opinion.

"Additionally, RiverClan is planning a takeover of Firefly Cove. The details are not fully hashed out yet, as I need to speak to Gingerfrost in-depth more. However, this battle will be approaching soon; ideally, within the next half-moon. And finally, the WindClan border has been experiencing some strange activity as well; There is reason to believe that WindClan has suffered a fire recently, due to the smell of smoke. We have no idea how severe the fire was, but the smoke smell caused the border's scent to become very weak. Whenever patrolling near Sedgewater Valley, take extra care to stay on our side of the border."

And now, something new. Hopefully, Beansprout thought, RiverClan would enjoy this. "Anyone who doesn't wish to participate in a brief discussion may leave the meeting if you'd like. No cat is required to stay past this point. If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, though, now is the time to let me know. I'm all ears."

Hmm, quite a lot of tragedy, with the grief of the death of three cats, and the Shadowclan cat sneaking in, but a light was shone on the newcomers, Moonkit and Russetpaw, she silently wished them good luck. A new rank, hmm, she wanted to know more, keeping her paws, still she waited, wanting to listen to the discussion.

Mistfire looked at Beansprout worridly "I knew a Shadowclan had got into camp but threatened camp that's awful and Dawnstar isn't doing anything about it" she thought angrily "But having cats that only guard camp isn't the best idea" she thought conflicted the pregnant queen raised her head and spoke "Beansprout with all do respect but having cats only being guards and not helping their clan any other way I don't think that would be a good decision" she mewed softly her amber eyes filled with concern.

Winterpaw looked up at his leader, and had a think. He was a new apprentice, but he could do stuff! Maybe he could ask to help? Hm....

---

"Can I help with the battle for... uh.... Firefly Cove, Beansprout?" mewed the unusually young apprentice. He can be strong for his clan because... um... because... he was him and he can beat his sister in a fight, yeah... maybe? He never fought with Springpaw actually... maybe he should ask to.

---

He rushed over to his sister and asked, after he had gotten the response from Beansprout, if he could have a practice fight with her? Then he could see how strong he really was. Maybe he could be strong enough to become a leader someday! That would be cool...

Bluestone listened to the leader speak. the tom listened to all the cats argue about the camp gaurding and danstar and blah blah blah."ith no warriors gaurding camp their is a higher chance of kits being stolen, abused or killed if Every warrior lacks the patrols. I don't want to be disrespectful to other clanmates but i see a potential in the new rank" he spoke up with a firm tone"After we take firefly cove if successful will we be able to keep it from thunderclan? I know we fight for the territory but My question is. Is it worth the fight of losing many warriors?" he asked not wishing to spill the blood just for a territory. Yes they fight for food and territory but it does a great cost, the tom had time to figure things out and yet he still couldn't put his paw on it

he/him

At the sound of his name, Ferretsnap blinked up at the leader. Ah. He would be mentoring an apprentice. Given what had happened to Glisteningpaw, he felt a bit of surprise, but it would be fine. Right?

Duckpaw's approach had him looking down, leaning to touch his nose with the she-cat's. What were they learning first? Mm, he supposed a tour of the territory would be best for the first lesson.

"I will take you on a tour of the territory tomorrow," he responded.

Ferretsnap narrowed his eyes as Beansprout continued. A ShadowClan cat in the camp? How the hell did a ShadowClan cat manage to get through the territory and to their camp? Why had the Shields not stopped them? He felt a low growl rumble in his throat. However, as the leader mentioned the idea of a new rank, his ears perked in interest. A camp guard...

With the happenings of Glisteningpaw's death, it would be a good way to prove himself. That is, if Beansprout would allow him to become a guard. He flicked his tail and shoved the thought aside for later, instead focusing on the next news: Firefly Cove.

Mm. Interesting. While he didn't particularly understand why, considering so many deaths had already occurred and a war would only cause more, perhaps Beansprout had a reason. Regardless, he would be sure to prepare himself for a battle.

A brief discussion would then be held. Ferretsnap didn't move, instead staring at the leader and awaiting said discussion.

════════ ════════ ════════ ════════ ════════ ════════ ════════ ════════
Lionpaw cringed when Beansprout called him out during the meeting. He was lectured by not one, but two adults in one day. Lionpaw thought it smart to stay on his best behavior for a while. He pouted and glared at his paws, pretending they were Minkkit. If only she had stayed in the nursery then he wouldn't have gotten in trouble! It was all her fault!

Beansprout continued the meeting as if he hadn't just embarrassed Lionpaw in front of the entire clan.

Three clanmates were found dead. Lionpaw didn't recall who they were, but he bowed his head all the same. Lionpaw vowed no clanmate would die on his watch once he became a warrior. He half-listened as Beansprout droned on. Blah blah, two cats have joined, blah blah, beware of lynx, blah blah, He hasn't gone to the Starcave yet. It all passed through one ear and out the next.

Lionpaw thought about the new rank the leader suggested. It sounded like a boring job! Sitting around camp all day, watching other warriors and apprentices get to leave and do real work. He silently prayed to Starclan that he would never be picked to be a guard. Anything but that! He'd much rather join in the upcoming battle for Firefly Cove! Maybe if he trained hard enough Beansprout would let him join. Lionpaw had yet to learn what Firefly Cove looked like, but one could assume it was a cove... with fireflies? Pretty on the nose if you asked him.

Beansprout continued the meeting and Lionpaw struggled to pay attention, still being only 2 moons old. He wished it would end already so he could start training. Finally, the leader announced that anyone not interested in the rest of the meeting could leave. He wondered what Beansprout would talk about, but presumed that it would be something boring like everything else he'd talked about.

He looked up at Darklight. If he was planning on staying then perhaps Lionpaw should too (though he hoped he wouldn't). He wanted to leave as good an impression on the dark tom, to make up for the one he started off with.

He eyed his mentor and waited for a response.

Bumblepaw's eyes were wide. A fight? Does- will I get to come? she wondered. Probably not, she was 3 moons old and had only just been apprenticed. Speaking of which, she still had no clue where Darktwist was.
—————————
Puddlekit scrambled away from his parents, who were currently bowing their heads in respect of the Clanmates that had been announced dead, and over to Beansprout. "Beansprout! Mister!" he mewed up at the tom, trying to scoot past all the warriors and apprentices around him. The little grey tomkit huffed and tumbled forward, then shook his fur out and looked up. "Mister, why'm I not an apprentice, too?" Puddlekit asked. He pointed a smoky-grey paw at his sister. "Buzzy gotta be an apprentice."
—————————
Meanwhile, Berryfur tipped his head, thinking about the possibility of a new rank; protecting his Clan and family was something he'd be more than happy to do, even if it wasn't in the same way he did now. "I think being guard would suit me well," he murmured to Amberspark. The tortoise-shell smiled in agreement.

Springpaw
long furred torbie - 3/100 - She/Her

She had patiently been waiting and sitting by her new mentor as the meeting continued. This was probably a once in a lifetime for her to be sitting in one spot but she didn't want to cause problems, just yet. Black and ginger ears perked when she heard a Beansprout call out puff and she looked over for the other. From where she was sitting she couldn't see very well just a few snippets of puff getting scolded. She would ask him about that later if she could have a run in with him, she was curious. Her attention went back to the leader as he spoke some more. Oh she sure remembered that weird cat showing up at the event, he sure was bold. Springpaw was just glad he had finally left, he could of ruined her chance to be an apprentice. She didn't have any opinions on the new clanmates since she never had any interactions with them.

She would make sure she'd go try to seek them out when she was free, that is if she found them. The torbie had heard about the deaths but hadn't come out since it seemed way too somber for her and she didn't want to make it worse. Was it even possible for twolegs to 'venture around water, she thought only riverclan liked water she learned something new every time. A part of her wondered if it was normal for a leader to not receive lives right away, she thought they would want to do that right away. She could probably imagine the amount of other cats or predators out there that would hurt others in a heart beat, that shadowclanner was a example. Now she was hearing about some sort of battle at firefly cove, some part of land.

Springpaw hasn't even been out yet so she has no idea what that was or were it even was. She looked around at the others around her and listened to as they spoke their opinions. It seemed some were okay with it and some didn't quit agree with the idea. "Why would we want this place called Firefly cove?" she looked up at Wispwatcher seeking some sort of answer. It was a bit confusing to her, weren't they happy with the land they had already? No one seemed to have any problems in her eyes, besides the deaths. She wasn't entirely sure if her and her mentor would be joining but a part of her guessed they probably wouldn't. After all she just became an apprentice, haven't yet learned how to fight properly.

And here came her brother, lil ol Winterpaw, she hadn't yet seen autumn come yet but she was sure they'd show eventually. Head tilted at her siblings request, fighting request? The newly made apprentice wasn't sure how that would work out, both hadn't been trained yet. "We don't even know any fighting moves yet?" she asked, would they just be swinging it? Paw rubbing her chin she looked like she was in deep thought, she guessed she could swing it. "We won't be able to even leave camp yet with out a warrior!" she pouted now that she thought more on it.

|~ Sunsetpaw - they/them ~|

Sunsetpaw was thinking about the possible new ranks, the guards. They didn't really know what to say though after some(a lot of) thinking, they thought of something "uh..what if there'll be a few guards, maybe around six--" they started to explain "--and these cats will be in two groups...uh...group one and two, so group one with three cats and group two with also three cats; so group one will guard the camp and after some time, group two will take their place of guarding the camp which makes group one able to do warrior things and uh after sometime group one will guard the camp again which makes group two able to do warrior things...and...uh...so...it uh..keeps rotating...?"

Sunsetpaw didn't know whether what they just said can be considered not smart or smart, all they know is that they've said it and that's it. Hopefully Beansprout will be able to understand what The apprentice just said, or else that'll be quite embarrasing

Well, at the very least this piqued Tinystorm's interest. He bared his fangs at Talonpaw in a smile. "Looks like you're stuck with me, kid."

The fluffy apprentice purred as Tinystorm's name was called out, and he trotted over to touch noses with his new mentor. It seemed StarClan had listened to his request after all. Not that that was actually in their power. Talonpaw would know if it was.

"I'm glad that I got you as my mentor," he murmured before settling down beside Tinystorm to listen to the rest of the announcements.

Talonpaw frowned as Beansprout mentioned a rank change, leaning closer to his mentor so he could whisper to him without being too obvious. "Why is he creating a rank that normal warriors can do when they're not on patrol? Surely there's enough of them for one or two to guard camp while everyone else is doing their duties and still be able to switch out often."

He knew that Beansprout allowed for feedback to go directly to him, but he wasn't sure if he believed the leader would be totally... accepting. Talonpaw had bad experiences in the past, and Tinystorm felt like the only one who had listened.

This meeting was oddly fast-moving; you'd almost think the tabby couldn't keep up. But he was there, below the large stone, silently listening as Beansprout made his announcements. Kits were promoted to being apprentices and, in Lionstorm style, some of them early. Apprentices were finally reassigned, much to his relief. Peachpaw and Cinder, for instance, had been apprentices for so long he was surprised they hadn't been assessed yet. Hopefully, these reassignments would stick around to finish their training -- although, Gingerfrost couldn't say he was counting on it either.

From the sides of the crowd, Gingerfrost heard the soft sound of a stick breaking. His eyes flitted towards the sound just in time to see Minnowpaw - now renamed Mumblepaw - hand over half a worn-looking stick to the new Minnowpaw. Gingerfrost quirked a brow. He never quite understood what Mumblepaw's business was with this stick, but had they just broken it and given it to Minnowpaw? (All the name changes RAH). He didn't have much time to understand, other than that the apprentice had given half their dear stick to the other apprentice before he was called by the aforementioned cat.

Sleepyfrost. A little part of him died inside when he heard this name; a name very similar to what his sister would call him, and say his warrior name would be. A name almost familiar, though he hadn't heard it on moons. It fell heavy on his chest, though he blinked away any sign of grief that may arise. He only looked to Mumblepaw and gave a simple nod contrary to his usually grumpy demeanour. It was fine. He'd be fine.

His attention was diverted by the meeting proceeding, and nearly coming to an end. He subtly noted to mention of patrols, remembering this for the next batch he would have to send out (and internally grimacing, for more members potentially failing to do them, would mean more cats to punish. He seriously needed to find a suitable solution to that). Alas, so be it. Gingerfrost understood the reason, it made sense. Especially with such a dangerous creature roaming about.

Following that came the mention of a ShadowClanner infiltrating camp, causing the tabby to actually grimace. And the mention of WindClan's fire, which came as no surprise, considering the news of smoke from not too long ago. Although, one was arguably more worrisome than the other: if a ShadowClanner infiltrated camp then their camp was guarded as badly as he expected. That's why he wasn't opposed to the idea of assigned guards; though he seconded the sentiment that they should be rotated about, and should mayhaps still upkeep some sort of clan duties (simple things, of course; those taking on a night shift would never be sent on a dawn patrol).

That being said, Gingerfrost decided to keep on listening a little longer before saying anything himself. What needed to be said was said so far, and he wondered what Beansprout had to say about that so far. It would be pointless anyway to repeat what's already been mentioned.

Aside from entering the meeting crowd at little late, she she heard everything. Shocking to say the least, BeanSprout really has done it this time.. Refusing to call the ‘leader’ BeanStar was a small sign of rebellion to her. It was pretty clear that she had a sort of hatred for this cat. She facepalmed, had RiverClan learned nothing? Like nothing at all. These kits that were apprentices could barely eat vole, they could barely stand without falling on their asses.

Stepping to the front of the crowd, she stood confidently, letting a sigh get out before she begun her long rant of everything that was wrong. BeanSprout, you claim yourself as leader yet allow for 2 moon old kittens to become apprentices. They are barely able to stand up, yet you want them to learn how to hunt, swim, fight and be useful to the clan? At 2 moons they are barely weened from their mothers! Doesn’t make any logically sense. It’s clear you had no knowledge whatsoever of the age of the kits you just made apprentices.” She huffed, at this point she was fuming..

Opening her mouth more as she let air sink into her lungs. [B]” As for the firefly cove. Do you not remember what happened the first time? Let me refresh your memory, that night we retreated with our tails in between our legs. We lost a great leader and we had many injured and some cats who joined starclan. You can say that you care about river clan but those events that just happened show otherwise.” The shecat flicked her tail in anger, she could care less about what her consequences were for standing up and saying something. Someone had to call out the “leader” and if it had to be her, it was going to be.

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

Now this was what he liked to see. Active engagement, not just a few announcements and some chants. He was beyond pleased at the cats who expressed their opinions and ideas, and though it was a slow start, hopefully, this could become the new norm for meetings. Slowly, more cats would become comfortable with sharing, he was sure.

Beansprout addressed every cat, starting with those who spoke up about his proposed rank. As Mistfire [ The Doctor ] spoke up, he considered and nodded. He didn't make any concrete decisions as she had been the first to speak but made sure to nod in her direction as a sign that he had heard her ideas and acknowledged them. As Bluestone [ Queen_Coral ] and Berryfur [ Joeboe_Bean ] seemed to lean more in favor of the rank, Beansprout kept quiet until he knew anyone who wanted to express an opinion could. There wasn't much else, aside from the newly named Sunsetpaw [ Pangoligon ] proposing a spin on his idea. With a tilt of his head, he nodded along. Deciding what to say, the siamese cat took a moment before opening his mouth.

"Mistfire, I appreciate the feedback, and I think Sunsetpaw's idea may have some merit. Thank you, Sunsetpaw," he acknowledged, dipping his head toward the young cat. "If any cat would be interested in learning more about this role and hashing out the details with me, please meet me in the clearing after this meeting." Beansprout figured that a true discussion would be better for this than an actual Clan meeting.

Now, for the other comments. The first thing he heard was Winterpaw [ dragonwind ] speaking up, asking if he could participate in the Firefly Cove battle. There was no hesitation in his voice when he shut this idea down. "Absolutely not. No apprentices under the age of 6 moons will be participating in this or any battle. Even then, you must have battle training to even be considered for participation. You may be old enough to begin training, but you are not yet prepared for real experiences. And that goes for all of you, not just Winterpaw." His tail lashed to the side as he skimmed over the new apprentices, making sure they got the point.

It was with only the smallest hint of surprise that he looked at Otterslash [ Neso ] as she made her way to the front of the crowd and spoke out against him. While Beansprout was a slight bit irked that she would think him blind to the new apprentices' ages, the siamese was mostly happy that Otterslash didn't hesitate to speak out against him. Questioning leadership was a necessity for a strong Clan, and that was one of Beansprout's core beliefs. He was more than willing to explain himself to his Clanmate, as she demanded an explanation.

"I'm well aware of the ages of these cats, Otterslash. These cats were promised apprenticeship if they participated in Tinystorm [ BEAR. ]'s event, and that is what I gave them. As I said, these cats are strictly forbidden from participating in battles until the age of 6 moons. I'm not a monster; I would never recklessly throw RiverClan's youth into danger." His tone remained cool, though the siamese was a bit upset that any cat could think he would just throw babies into battle. "These kids have decided they were ready to start learning, and I can't go back on a promise. Besides, I fully trust that their mentors will take age into account when training them. RiverClan's warriors are no monsters, either. And if I find out that some cat is being reckless or careless, they will face severe punishment."

Now, for the various questions and comments on Firefly Cove. "Yes, I do realize what happened when Firefly Cove was taken from us. And if you hadn't noticed, I'm doing everything in my power to prevent this from happening. Every cat who participated in my training event specifically meant to prep for this battle will tell you this as well. The last thing I want on my paws is unnecessary death." Bluestone spoke up again about the necessity of Firefly Cove. "The Cove actually originally belonged to RiverClan when the Clans were founded, and we have used that invaluable piece of land for herbs, prey, and resources we just can't obtain anywhere else on RiverClan territory. With this many cats, we need it now more than ever so Stonepaw can keep his herb stock up and so we can continue to keep this Clan well-fed and healthy."

Finally, a small voice caught Beansprout's attention. Puddlekit approached and asked why he couldn't be an apprentice too. With a slight tilt of his head and an apologetic look, the siamese spoke softly. "I'm sorry, you didn't end up going with Tinystorm for his event. But I'm sure, in just a little bit, you'll be an apprentice too."

With that, he talked one last time. "If there are any follow-up questions, speak now. The meeting will come to a close soon, and anything not discussed now may be taken to my den."

“Beansprout.” Turning away from their mentor, the calico padded back up to the front. “We have worked without the cove for moons now. The battle wouldn’t make sense, why expand our territory by a battle when we can find new locations within our borders, or expand them beyond the reaches before. Cats will be injured, regardless. Why are we going to waste the herbs we might get the from cove if we are just going to be in a constant state of war over it? Why don’t we stick it out until the end of this season, so some expanding of our territory elsewhere then if we need, then take the cove. This gives us time to prepare and expand, perhaps give me some time to figure out the tunnels, then we are full battle ready and actually have the herbs to waste if we stock up now… Did you even get Stonepaw’s permission to do this? What did he say? Did you even care to check? How did you even know the Cove was ours originally? You can’t just charge wrecklessly, into a territory that might not even be ours to begin with, with a small group of cats, and all of that to waste herbs we might be able to get elsewhere. We don’t need the Cove, it’s common sense. What game are you trying to play at? The Settlement of Storms and Skies will just try to take it back anyways. There is absolutely no reason why we need the Cove other than you are playing something behind the scenes, I will ask again, what are you trying to do?”
The learner rambled, tone falling and rising at certain sections. They were passionate and that was clear enough in its voice. Harming others never got us anywhere. Only death and destruction of the Settlement and our Commandership the learner mentally added onto their statement. Stick getting shifted under their paws. They would’ve offered the Tunnels as a place to expand their search of territory but even it knew that was a bad idea. At least until he had the proper knowledge of them and how to restore the walls of it. Beansprout had a different motive, he wasn’t even trying to hide it at this point. Mumblepaw wanted to know what that was though. Why did he want the Cove so badly if we were just going to waste the herb they got from it. The learner shifted their glance to Stonepaw speaking the words, loudly at that. “He didn’t ask you, did he?” now looking at his own father. “You agreed to this?! You want to waste time and energy doing that? I know you would rather sleep this away, what did he say to you to convince you to allow this, Dad?” Mumblepaw’s voice rising in tone, and slightly volume. Now going back down to a normal level. Green eyes latching onto his orange ones. Head turning back to the Commander on the streamstone. Arguing with something already in place was pointless. Getting removed from a meeting wasn’t worth it either, so for now, Mumblepaw waited for a response, it better be a good one at that.

The warrior stood there in shock. There were so many things that didn’t add up. Shaking her head in disbelief. She rose her voice to a decent tone to speak. ”Why are we doing this the first place? It doesn’t matter if kits younger 6 moons cant participate in the raid. You never thought of the consequences this will have at all. Either way apprentices shouldn’t be 2 months old. Riverclan shouldn’t allow that at all.” She shecat looked at the crowd then back at the leader.

“ Unless you were told in private how we had the cove in the beginning way back when riverclan was just started. I don’t know how you would know seeing as you are not clan born. Of course being clan born or not doesnt matter to leading a clan, but half of river clan didn’t even know that. So how would you? No one wants to be injured or die, the way you’re putting your own pride in front of your clan is crazy. Relations with thunder clan are already terrible. And it’s going to bite you right in ass if you continue to plan this attack, hopefully you realize what tomfoolery you are doing before you send cats to their deaths.”

OtterSlash was very unhappy and she never understood why nobody in this clan ever spoke up. She gasped for a breath of air and then continued. “If this is some stunt to please starclan.. then god forbid. This is a clear lack of comprehension of your own clan. It’s embarrassing… We barely have a medicine cat den of herbs and you wanna do this. Do you think Fawn your own daughter would like this unnecessary violence? Good grief.” That’s the most she’s talked in atleast a moon, god damn. Otterslash had this sort of displeased look on her face as looked at the leader.

The elder allows her shoulders to slump. Had she known that RiverClan would fall upon such hard times, she would not have had any kits - but if StarClan wills it this way, then who is she to complain...?

Puddlekit lowered his head and tail sadly, and trudged back through the crowd and to his parents. Sunfall smiled at him, with a look of empathy.

"Well, look on the bright side!" the orange she-cat meowed loudly, "You've only gotta wait 3 more moons. And I'm sure Bumble will show you all the amazing moves Darktwist shows her." The warrior flicked Puddlekit with her tail, but the kit's mood didn't improve.
——————
Bumblepaw shrugged; she could find Darktwist later then. She was an apprentice now, so that meant she could explore! Glancing at her brother, she noticed he didn't seem too happy. But she wouldn't let that snuff her excitement out.

The little yellow cat trotted towards the camp entrance. Bumblepaw's fur puffed up as she nosed her way out of camp. I'm gonna tell Puddlekit all about this! she thought, tail curling up. She ran forward a bit, and looked around. This is gonna be sooo fun! And with that, she raced off on her little kitten legs, to explore her Clan's territory.
——————
Amberspark watched Bumblepaw trot away. "I guess Darktwist is taking her exploring today!" she mewed fondly, and leaned over to pick Puddlekit up. The queen happily padded back to the nursery, Sunfall staying behind to discuss the new rank with Berryfur.

The massive calico blinked as she was assigned Minnowpa- er, Mumblepaw, as an apprentice. Smiling at the young cat, she touched noses with them when they approached, her head tilting slightly at their question. "If you mean do I know anything about the tunnels, then no. I've never been in them before."

Beansprout went on with the rest of the announcements, and when the issue of Firefly Cove came up they charged off, clearly protesting against the idea. Stars, Mumble was definitely going to give her a headache.

After the camp guards announcement, the meeting quickly went downhill when Beansprout announced his intention to retake Firefly Cove. When Otterslash spoke, Talonpaw's ears pinned to his head. Seriously?! Age was her concern? He had been two moons old when he died. Maybe if he had had a mentor who cared about him then, it wouldn't have happened.

"Otterslash, I fail to see the issue. Beansprout just said that any mentors who don't treat their apprentices properly will be severely punished. Why are you so against cats getting training earlier? It's not against the warrior code, and it will make us stronger warriors in the long-run. So unless you have something thoughtful to say, shut up."

Talonpaw should have been politer, but he was mad. This issue was personal to him, and despite his fears about speaking up, this wasn't something he could let go. Because what if the same thing that happened to him happened to someone else, and having a mentor could have saved them.

Otterslash’s ears perked when she heard this small kit voice from behind her. She would then turn her head slowly to see who just told her to shut up, seeing it was Talonkit, she refused to call him anything other than a kit. Cause that’s what he was and nothing more. Her blood was boiling at this point.. She flicked her tail in anger, it was very clear she didn’t like what this kit had to say.

“Normally I would say that apprenticeship is good thing, but not when you are 2-4 moons old. You can barely talk with failing to pronounce words correctly. You can barely digest actually food that isn’t your mothers milk. You are fragile, you’re a baby.You won’t be strong warriors when you’re in the medicine cat den for an injured paw. You have no grasp on what being an apprentice is yet. You just want to become one because you see how much freedom they have. They aren’t confined to camp like you kits are. If you can’t grasp apprenticeship, then how are you supposed to be a good warrior.”

She remembered something all of a sudden.. How the hell was a ghost talking…
You’re supposed to be dead… so how are you alive and talking? It doesn’t make any sense, you were 2 moons when you died, and to the cold… So how on starclans name are you alive?” .

This seriously didn’t make any sense. It wasn’t adding up, she sighed. Ignoring how a ghost was talking she continued.

“Earlier doesn’t mean better, remember that. Just because you think you can handle something doesn’t mean you can. You’re literally a baby. I’m going to excuse the fact that you told me to shut up to that you are in fact a child. And you don’t have a comprehension on speech and language yet. You should watch your tongue kit.” The shecat sighed as her tail flicked a few more times.

She narrowed her eyes, hoping that taking firefly cove wouldn't be to hard for Riverclan. *It would help them get their dignity back after loosing it... and it could help her prove herself as a useful warrior! Maybe even a leader one day!* The ambitious she-cat thought.

*Although what if we loose any-cat? I know I'm not leader... but I would still feel responsible for any deaths. I hope Beansprout it right, and we can win. Anyway, we deserve firefly cove back! We've had it for so long... we can't just stop fighting and let them take it!* She thought, looking around at her clanmates with confidence.

Well, this all seemed interesting. A new rank? Troutstone guessed it could work, if there were enough of them to take shifts or something. "I think," he mewed, raising his voice, "with the new rank, that they should still have to do normal warrior duties, and that it should maybe be refreshed every few moons." Now, as for the battle, Troutstone would leave that to the other cats. He had no interest in war.

Stonepaw

Once his sister received her name, he stopped paying attention, merely mumbling the names of the others without registering who it was. There sure was a lot of them. No matter, he'd get to know them all eventually, and if he needed help, he could always ask a friend. Where were his friends? Beetlepaw. Russetpaw. Beastflame. He hadn't seen any of them recently. The last time he had seen Russetpaw had been her running away from death, and honestly, he couldn't blame her. Riverclan was a broken clan, and it seems a better idea to run before you lose someone you love too. He should have run after Silversnow.

A scuffle broke out beside him, two small kits arguing, except, the warrior said 'paw. No, that couldn't be right, he was still a kit. Stonepaw was sure that Beansprout with his numerous issues would not dare to apprentice someone so young. Yes, that was just a slip-up of a name. All was well. Yes, all was well, it was just a mistake. He smiled at Briarpaw before tilting his head. Got to make sure no ones hurt. Pushing his way over to Minkkit, he examined her face, before turning to her father. "Nothing too bad. If it still hurts later, I can give her a poppy seed." Oh dear, a hurt kitten. Always a pain to treat and always took longer to heal. No matter, this was barely a problem.

Eyes followed after Lionkit, but he didn't say anything. That cat was barely weaned, he was positive now that he hadn't heard Lionpaw listed in the earlier names. Merely a mistake. His head turned back to the leader, though he stayed close to the family, just in case another thing went wrong. No. He said the words. He said Lionpaw. Oh no. That wouldn't stand. As Beansprout continued, his mind reeled. Lionpaw was two, looked two, acted two, how in the world had he been apprenticed? It must have a mistake, he'd let Beansprout know later, not insult him by speaking back now.

His friend was mentioned next, and it shot a pang through his heart that the leader hadn't realized she was gone. He was probably too busy, just as he had been too busy for names. "Russetpaw's left. I don't think she was aware that the death count here wasn't much better than that of the outskirts. She left after paying respects." It was even and level, but he missed her. His old lady friend. His breath caught as Antlerdad was mentioned, but he didn't move. He was done crying. He had to be good now.

The Starcave, what was the Starcave? Whatever.

Still, apparently Beansprout did care enough about the remaining kits to instigate camp guards, though, if they were out training, that wouldn't very much do them well. No, Lionpaw was an accident. Stop pinning it on him. Beansprout doesn't know. He's not in the nursery enough to know. It's not his fault. He shook his head at the mention of Firefly Cove. So much was going on, he couldn't stay focused. EVeryone started speaking over each other, but all he could mutter was "Camp guards, great idea, yep yep."

Finally someone stepped up, so he didn't have to. Otterslash. He didn't know her well, but moon above, she was doing fantastic. He didn't know much about Firefly Cove, he hadn't been alive then, but two moon old kittens were called kitten for a reason.

Well that got worse.

His face turned slack-jawed, and planned words turned to mush. He had known? And he had promised? And that idiot Tinystorm was apart of the problem, yet again. But Minnowpaw spoke, Minnowpaw- no, Mumblepaw, opened his mouth. A friend of Beansprout, but not afraid to call him out. So yeah, Stonepaw wouldn't be scared away anymore. More outbursts and interruptions, but that didn't matter. He'd listen and he'd repsond. Breathe.

"I was aware of the cove due to an event that was started a few days ago." His words started out slow and measured, but as he built up confidence, the cadence increased. "But I didn't know the history. I was unaware if we needed Firefly Cove or not, that there had been a former battle, that we had lost a leader there. We have plenty of territory now, like Mumble said, why don't we just explore or expand. The outskirts are giant, we don't need to start a war. I can't heal everyone on my own." I don't all of the herbs yet man, how can I save everyone. "But if it is necessary, then I will try my best to do my job."

"The kits, on the other hand. That I didn't know. It doesn't matter if they aren't allowed to fight in the battle. General training isn't safe. There's a reason why you might see a warrior or apprentice teaching them how to jump, or the general idea of how to paw, instead of showing a kit how to flip around in defense. It's because it's not safe. Mentally, they aren't ready, they haven't matured. Kits don't move to eating prey until they're at least two moons, many take even longer. They barely have teeth or claws, bones are brittle and hard to repair. They aren't old enough to begin training. A wrongly timed leap, while for an apprentice may only result in bruises, can easily snap bones and kitten bones are hard to heal."

" Even if they can't go into battle, training is still difficult, there are fish larger than four moon old kittens, and if a warrior will miss a fish, what's to say that they won't miss a kitten being pushed down a river down rapids. The kit curriculum teaches them to swim in a shallow place, and while it's been split into older and younger sections, you still don't take the older kits to the river, so would you just keep them at Cattail Pond? Kit swimming part 3 and all. Ferretsnap made a mistake with Glisteningpaw, but you still trusted him with an apprentice, meaning you believe him to be a good enough warrior to deserve a second chance. And if a good warrior was able to make a mistake with an average apprentice, who's to say that it'll be any different? Especially considering kits make bad decisions, as we've seen with Lionpaw. Mentally they aren't ready. Physically they aren't ready. Even if you promised them, you should be able to choose safety over promises."

"Five moons old, I can understand, they're nearly there, but when you apprentice a two or three or four moon old, even if it's just to get a jump on training, they aren't big enough to hunt, they aren't strong enough to protect themselves, it's not safe to practice swimming without at least two warriors. You can't feel confident that they'll all even make it to six moons."

He froze as Ottersplash spoke again, his mouth falling agape at the mention of Fawnlight. No, she was right once again. She wouldn't have wanted this. Unnecessary violence, arguing, underage apprentices. It was as if Beansprout had forgotten his own daughter. Wouldn't that be awful? Forgetting family as soon as you get the crown. Just another step on the ladder to victory. He huffed with his pause, catching his breath and bringing down the rush of adrenaline. Talonpaw. He knew that name. Otterslash brought the rest of it back to him.

"Fawnlight told me about you. You died in winter. It was awful, you were young. You died because of a mistake and a bad decision. You couldn't survive alone in the winter, so who is to say that another cat could make outside the camp in the elements too? A mentor to watch as they freeze to death? To bring them inside twenty seconds later because they can't stop shaking enough to train? You fail to see the issue? The issue is that they can't hunt properly due to size, they can't patrol with the chance of a run-in with the another clan. Numerous apprentice have crossed borders with training. A kit could too. Fighting is out of the question, it's too easy to get hurt. Winter is too cold and swimming would be useless without training in the currents. Obviously, they shouldn't attend gatherings. You still can't see it?"

"So how will the three moon old apprentice train? Three seasons until they're six moons, only on patrols with other warriors, only doing the training out of fear that they might be hurt. Let them be kids. Let them pine about becoming an apprentice, but let them enjoy their kithood Beansprout. Don't give them responsibilities and stress. Anxiety is a real thing, and many kids don't want to be around adults, it scares them, so don't force it, even if they think it's good. Let them move at their own pace. And maybe if someones remarkable or special, they can start training at five, but any younger? Any younger and you're putting them in danger, you're inspiring jealousy in siblings, sparking anxiety in apprentices that are now surrounded by those so much older than them, hatred in apprentices that weren't so lucky, or watch a seven moon old become a warrior. Do you expect them to train for ten moons?."

"Please listen. I'm telling you, as your medicine cat, that many will die. I'm telling you, as a clanmate, that I don't want to see kids doing anything other than being kids." Sun and moon, Beansprout, make the right choice.

Soon enough, things began to escalate. Baby apprentices didn't come over well, several cats speaking up including Otterslash and Stonepaw himself. Truthfully, Gingerfrost hadn't much to say about it himself - growing up, younger (and thus more annoying) apprentices were almost normal. While it was a surprising sight after so many moons, it wasn't something the tabby had ever spent more thought on than necessary, all because he grew up around all these baby apprentices. It wasn't until He heard Stonepaw's words that he began to realise how twisted it truly was, the danger it could pose, and the worry he once bore during his own apprenticeship, but got lost to time.

But that wasn't the only thing that didn't come over well: The cove takeover. The moment he heard those words, something in Gingerfrost shifted from idle listening to something tenser. From looking over the riled-up cats of his clan, his eyes fell down to a young apprentice; the newly renamed Mumblepaw, calling out Beansprout on what the apprentice must consider idiocy. This anger; what Mumblepaw said wasn't all fiction, some parts the tabby could understand, others he could almost say he agreed with. But to the clan, his stance was unclear on the matter; perhaps his stance on the matter was even unclear to himself.

But, after addressing Stonepaw, Mumblepaw turned to address himself. The displeasure and irritation were clear even to Gingerfrost, who internally flinched at the words. One thing stands out: dad. Once again, Mumblepaw called him dad, and Mumblepaw was upset. His silence upset the son he had yet to fully process he has. And could upset many more; just like his words could upset Beansprout. He'd never publicly opposed a leader's choice before; his questioning was always silent, secretive almost. But now he was being asked to speak? Not quite, but in many ways he was. Gingerfrost hesitated, he wasn't sure what to do and momentarily averted his gaze.

Until it came to meet Mumblepaw's again. There was only one way to go about this, was there? Silence might only make things worse; whatever happened, it felt doomed. So, he made his decision. If none is right then so be it. Even toned and level, he gave his answer;
"I didn't agree to this. Not then, not now. Beansprout made this decision entirely on his own."
As the words left his maw, not loud nor soft, his eyes lifted up to the leader. For a moment, he paused, expression neutral as ever. He looked back at his son.

"The territory could be useful, I concur;"
For several reason, mainly the fact that he was hesitant sending hunting patrols to Sleepy Thicket, it being their burial ground, and saw need in rotating their hunting should they want to keep the storage plentiful. Even so, he was uncertain about taking the cove being a solution.
"But taking Firefly Cove is akin to a declaration of war."
A war he'd rather avoid reviving. Evidently, the grounds were dear to ThunderClan if they've been fighting over it for as long as they have.
"I've addressed the issues with Beansprout privately. Answers are awaited."

He paused for a few moment, mulling over his own words and thoughts. He carefully constructed awkward sentences, having to think through every word. This is precisely what he wanted to avoid; a split front on an arguably important decision. And yet he was pulled to speaking, sharing his thoughts as they slowly left his maw. He looked up at Beansprout. It wasn't much; not like the argumented speech Stonepaw had given, not like the accusations Mumblepaw and Otterslash were giving. But it was something; a glimpse into the stance Gingerfrost was taking, a glimpse into what he believed of this.

Even so, Beansprout deserved a chance to explain himself. Explain these decisions and explain his motivations behind it; the answers Gingerfrost sought before deciding what to do. He didn't think Beansprout as daft as some cats could be, far from that. There had to be some good reason, then convince them of that reason, rather than making these decisions on grounds seemingly shallow. That's why he kept an even tone, and a neutral expression, his exterior calm as he awaited for the Siamese to speak.

Sedgestorm glowered at the Streamstone's at Beansprout. The self appointed leader that no one asked for. He'd been sitting quietly for the whole meeting but no more.
He did not join this Clan just for it to end up like ShadowClan.
He stood, and carried himself from his spot at the edge of the gathered cats.
"You want to talk about history?," he snapped, tail straight as a board out of anger.
He taught history to the youth and newcomers of the Clan, he would not let someone twist the facts for propaganda.
"We gifted the Cove to ThunderClan. It had been surrendered without the intent of receiving anything in return. All you will be showing the Clans if you try to take it 'back' again is that we are hypocrites. Do you not remember what happened at the last battle for it? A kit found their way to the battle and died. Apprentices made up the most of our loses. Our youth do not need to be put in danger!"
Actually, had they lost any warriors? Are was it only the kit and 3 apprentices?
He hated this cat already. He hadn't even gone to the StarCave yet and he was already acting like he was StarClan's chosen..
Sedgestorm hadn't thought there could be anyone more stupid than Skystar, but here they were. At least Skystar had the decency to not make literal children into apprentices.
More than ever he was glad he had no children, adopted or biological, for he would surely be exiled to leaping up there and trying to rip out Beansprout's throat. But the idea still did not sit right with him.
This was child endangerment.
"Do you think the fact that apprentices are usually made apprentices as 6 moons is a mere coincidence? Even ShadowClan never deliberately made kittens into apprentices. 2 moons is too young to make an apprentice. Those kittens should be at theirs parent or guardians side, not worrying about the needs of a Clan that should be protecting them. We're suppose to protect our youth."
He was angry enough he didn't even care that he was, for the first time in seasons, openly admitting to his heritage. But he didn't care. They always accused ShadowClan of being brutes, so what did this make RiverClan?
Lionstorm had similar training blitz's that allowed them early apprenticehood, but never, never did he remember any of them being under 4 moons

He would end his tirade towards the leader here.
Instead, he moved himself to the back of the crowd once again, only stopping before he passed Stonepaw.
Why would Beansprout put their Medicine Cat through this? He had minimal training and no one to teach him. Not even someone who had to help him at all times. RiverClan seemed to have a tradition of placing apprentices as Medicine Cats. Snakeheart, Fawnlight......
It was a sickening pattern.
"Stonepaw. If the Clan does fight for Firefly Cove, I would like to assist you."
He sighs deeply, claws flexing into the earth to ground himself.
He wanted to say more, but after giving in to the urge to shout his opinion to the "leader", he was too tired, too drained. The world felt like it was trying to squish him flat.

Marigoldleap watched as kits became apprentices. Same ole thing. Well that was until cats pointed out how young one of the kits were. Wait two moons? The large she-cat let out a low growl and scanned the clearing to find either or both Dirtkit and Kitekit. Worry ran through her. What of he made them apprentices at a young age. If anything happened to them she'd probably go insane. Hearing Sedgestorm she understood his anger. Marigoldleap was done with young cats dying unnecessary. They had their whole life ahead of them. Wanting to make a stand she feared she'd be kicked out, so she stayed silent. She didn't like this one bit, but she had to keep her mouth shut.

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

Moon, Stars, and Skies above, the utter chaos that broke out after he last spoke was insane. The two main topics, of course, were his decision to make apprentices this young and the battle for the Cove. Beansprout could feel his confidence wavering, but he needed to put on a facade. He couldn’t let his mask drop, not yet. With his tail raised, he yowled. “Silence! I hear you all, and let me say this:”

“First, the issue you all have with the age of these apprentices. I would like to explicitly point out that nowhere in the Warrior Code (https://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25536) does it say that kits must reach the age of 6 moons. In fact, all it says is that they must meet Clan requirements, which these apprentices have.” Now, he had addressed the issue as a whole, it was time to jump from cat to cat. “Otterslash. You claim that these kits are too young because they ‘can barely talk with failing to pronounce words correctly’, and yet then you turn around and say that they ‘can barely digest actually food that isn’t their mothers' milk’. If you’re going to pick a point to defend, at least make sure it’s one that you don’t struggle with yourself as a full-grown warrior.” That had made Beansprout annoyed at the sheer hypocrisy of it more than anything. “You keep going back to speech as if that is the most vital thing for a cat to be fluent in, Otterslash. While, yes, being able to pronounce words and string together correct phrases is a good skill for cats to have, I have seen firsthand a wide array of cats who struggle with it. Are these cats lesser warriors? Should they be treated like kits?” With a lash of his tail, the leader continued. “If anyone should watch their tongue, it is you. I don’t mind cats speaking up; in fact, I actively encourage sharing opinions among each other and especially myself. But that means showing your Clanmates respect. Especially when those Clanmates, such as Talonpaw, are directly affected by the issue you’ve been ranting about.”

“Stonepaw. I understand your concerns, and you make some valid points. But I would like to talk it over a bit. You talked about physical readiness quite a lot; even 2 moon old cats are far more resilient than you think they are. A vast, overwhelming majority of kits are weaned well before their second moon. Meaning they have had teeth for a while. As for claws, I’m… not too sure where you got that from, as kits are born with claws. I think that any queen could tell you that even a tiny prick from the sharp claws of a young cat can hurt. It’s not like these cats are lacking in physical features, as you say.” Beansprout snorted, narrowing an eye.

“I trust wholeheartedly that the warriors mentoring these apprentices, no matter their ages, will take their apprentices' age into account when training. While I understand you never had any warrior training, advanced moves such as ‘flipping around in defense’ are by no means moves meant for beginners. Many 6, 7, even 8 moon-old apprentices stick with these basics until they are mastered, and their mentors are fully confident they can move on safely.” With a brief pause, Beansprout addressed all the cats. “Mentors have a very serious responsibility no matter what, and maybe it’s just taking these circumstances for cats to realize this. All of you act as if mentors just tell their apprentices to train and then turn to stare at the river, not caring whether anything happens or not. I fully trust the capabilities of these warriors as well as the accountability of RiverClan. As I said, if a cat is severely failing in their duties as a mentor, they will be severely punished. Safety is one of my top priorities. I know what I am doing.”

It felt like he was just talking in circles, and yet there was more to say. “With all due, respect, Stonepaw, it is summer.” Beansprout stared at the younger cat, point-blank. “Your concerns, while valid during wintertime, have nothing to do with the situation at paw. During the wintertime, I will absolutely take these to heart and reconsider the ages of apprentices at that point.” Beansprout physically flinched at the mention of his daughter. He wanted to snap, to hiss, to say something nasty, but he kept his cool mask on. “I died not from the winter, but from other cats.” With a swift movement, the siamese showed the deep claw mark scars on his belly.

“And I died because I was alone. These apprentices will not be alone. Apprentices should never leave the camp alone anyway, and I think it’s time I crack down on that rule. If this is going to continue, after all, I don’t want younger apprentices to look at older ones sneaking out and think that’s acceptable. Attention all!” He yowled, hoping to grab the attention of everyone still gathered.

“As of now, if apprentices are found outside of camp alone, there will be severe consequences. These include demotion to kit status for a moon.”

With a huff, Beansprout turned his focus back to the medicine cat apprentice. “There will be no seven-moon-old warriors. The requirements demand that an apprentice be 12 moons to even qualify for a warrior ceremony. So, yes, I expect them to train for ten moons. As for the so-called loss of kithood, it isn’t as if the moment ‘kits turn to ‘paws, their whole kithood is over. Do apprentices of over 6 moons not still play silly games? Do they not talk with and rely on their parents, should they be lucky enough to have them? They aren’t kits anymore, technically. And yet, here they are, enjoying themselves despite their ‘paw name and status.” With a deep sigh, Beansprout continued. “I am in no way forcing or coercing these cats to become apprentices the moment they become two moons. I’m allowing two-moon old cats to become apprentices, should they wish. I am not forcing anything, I assure you. These cats went through a very specific training event by choice, and then chose to step forward again when an apprentice ceremony was offered.”

With an annoyed flick of his ear and a very light growl, the siamese spoke once again. “Yes. Fighting is out of the question. I said that about ten minutes ago, actually.” Okay, it was time to pull it back. Beansprout was getting a bit emotional, and he couldn’t have that interfering with logic. So, the leader took a few moments on the Streamstone to take a deep breath, clear his mind, and get back to the topic at paw.

“I’m telling you, as a leader, that these apprentices will turn out fine. With trust in our warriors and our apprentices, I do, in fact, have confidence that they will make it to 6 moons and beyond. Cats die and go missing whether they are ‘kits, ‘paws, or warriors and above. Nothing can stop that, no matter how hard I try. But having someone to watch over these young cats and teach them the basics of warriorhood is something that cannot hurt. And I’m telling you, as a Clanmate, that these kids are being kids. Their rank has no bearing on their behavior; we have more than enough cats to keep RiverClan out of trouble without putting any stress on these young ones. And if we don’t, well, then we have a bigger problem, don’t we?” He directed the last part at both Stonepaw and Sedgestorm, who had just spoken up.

Now, for the Cove. Beansprout could feel his throat starting to get sore and his spirits dampening. This was the topic he wasn’t as sure about anymore. Mumblepaw asked him questions and blamed Gingerfrost. Gingerfrost explained that he had nothing to do with the decision and didn’t support it. Mumblepaw and Stonepaw suggested turning to the Outskirts. Sedgestorm aggressively corrected his slip-up and expressed his extreme disapproval. Where was this outrage when he first proposed the idea? He had been so sure his Clan agreed with him, and now it seems the tides were turning against Beansprout. He was barely standing on his paws against the rushing wave of anger. Finally, the last bit of water that sent him over the edge of defeat: Otterslash.

“Do you think Fawn, your own daughter, would like this unnecessary violence?”

Beansprout wasn't mad, angry, or upset. All the tom could feel right now was confusion and deep, heavy disappointment. If Fawnlight was looking down at him, she would be so disappointed in this idea. In the cat he had become. Beansprout had thought he had Clanwide support with a few disagreements; it turned out it was the opposite. It took a moment, but he finally composed himself enough to speak. “I’m so sorry. I thought-- I thought that I had support for this idea, but I was severely mistaken. You all have spoken, and I will listen.”

“There will be no attack on Firefly Cove.”

“Thank you all for letting me know what you think. It seems I was misguided.” He turned to face the base of the rock to hide his face and put his mask back on. When Beansprout turned around again, his face was cool and collected. Though if one stood up on the Streamstone with him, it was clear that this was a poorly constructed facade. It was okay, though, because he had a few more precious moments to take some deep breaths before the camp guard meeting.

“Unless there’s anything I missed, this meeting is dismissed. All those who wish to discuss the idea of camp guards further may meet me in the clearing.”

Mumblepaw
They/He/It | Post Count: 44

Not even a word to him and their words. Thrown to the side. Mumblepaw wasn’t one that silently did things but the tunnels were valuable information. They needed to do something, regardless of approval or not. Mapping out the underlying territory was simple, getting that information to his thick skulled Commander was much more difficult, considering he missed Stonepaw’s entire point. Ugh. Mumblepaw saw no reason to argue anymore.
Instead clearing their throat and calling upon on the Commander and Second In Command of the Settlement. “Beansprout and Gingerfrost.” No Father. No Papa. No Dad. This was formal, a serious conversation. “We need to talk in the Commanders den, when Beansprout finishes his camp defender thing. I want to speak to both of you on something, meet me there, please.” The learner turned to the Commander and Second in Command and lastly to the Herbalist. “Thank you.” Clearly talking to Stonepaw, before dipping its head and picking up their stick. Paws quick to action as they padded towards and into the den, to wait for the “meeting” to begin. This was a conversation better spoken about in private.

And with that she was done. Beansprout had completely missed the entire point of that rambling and ranting her,Stone,Mumble, and Sedge just spent a lot of time on talking about. Was this “leader’s” head made of rocks, considering how nothing they said seemed to register in this cats head.

It was a pity too, she was gonna give him a second chance but she guessed not. Beansprout doesn’t understand why BABIES shouldn’t be apprenticed… that was a personal problem. It might as be a clan problem at this point. These cats appointed this bone head to be leader. Flicking her tail she stormed out of camp, a huff and sigh going with her.

If nothing else, Sedgestorm was grateful that Beansprout had revoked the choice to launch an attack for the Cove. He gave the briefest blink of appreciation to the soon-to-be leader as the siamese leapt from the Seastones.
He meandered back to Stonepaw, far calmer now, though no less feeling tired and heavy footed, but more ready to say more than a single sentence.
"I know the battle was just called off, but if you ever feel overwhelmed, recent battle or not, you can always ask me for help. You're doing great, but don't feel that you should shoulder your responsibilities alone, alright?"
He tried to give an encouraging smile.
Though his mouth still tasted foul in regards to the apprentices, but it seemed there's little that could be done about it for now.

_________________________________________________

Unfortunately for the young two moon old molly, she didn’t really understand a lick of anything that her leader was spewing. Her brain mainly consisted in the words of that there was originally going to be a battle and now Big Beanie was calling it off. Comorantpaw mentally took a guess for that being a good thing, she supposed, as that was the literal main thing that made sense in her tiny child brain. She couldn’t help but notice that cats all around her seemed pretty upset about kits her age becoming ‘paws. Cormorantpaw didn’t seem much peeved about it, rather shrugging her little shoulders when she got up and zoomed out of the meeting, beelining her way to the apprentices’ den.

Lionpaw was a little shocked by the uproar of disapproval from his clanmates, but chose to stay quiet since he didn't understand most of what was going on- besides the fact that there would no longer be a battle. He couldn't say he was upset by this because he wouldn't have gotten to join anyways as Beansprout made it clear that kits nor young apprentices could join. As soon as the leader dismissed the clan he headed for the apprentice's den so he could be first to pick the best nesting spot.

Darklight led out a low, annoyed sound. Dammit. No battle meant no easy way to get revenge on his starsdammed mate. Rising to his paws, the warrior felt a wave of fury pulse through him, and he didn't even bother trying to hide it. If anyone thought that this meant he wouldn't be lining the border with the blood of his former mate, then they'd be kidding themselves. Darklight would win. He always won. The tom shot a cold glare up at the leader, and his mask was broken. Okay. He'd have to cook up another plan. Ignoring anyone and everyone, the shadowed soldier strode out of camp, already scheming up a storm.

Stonepaw

Gingerfrost talked. Gingerfrost disagreed. Gingerfrost stood up for himself. That was new. Stonepaw was used to seeing the deputy as a quite lump of grump off to the side. As someone who moved in the shadows- but actually talking and speaking up? That almost felt like a completely different cat. The deputy had been changing a lot recently, becoming more bold, and almost... fatherly. Not to him of course, but he had seen Gingerfrost when he was around Mumblepaw. Like a little family, they were and maybe that was why he was speaking up. It was no longer out of necessity, but now because he truly had someone to protect.

At least, that was just what Stonepaw thought. Meh.

And then there was Sedgestorm, someone who Stonepaw knew, not well, but more than he knew some of his other clanmates. Sedgestorm understood what was wrong, just like how Otterslash had, and, just like Otterslash, he was willing to say something. Too young, physically and mentally. "Yes." He nodded to the warriors question just as Beansprout began to speak, and his heart plummeted. Oh. Well, that didn't go as hoped. It seemed as if his entire point had been missed, and for once, Stonepaw didn't feel like talking. He'd bring it up later, in private. It didn't serve anyone to have an argument in the middle of the clearing. He liked talking and chattering, but this? This was draining and at this point all he was, was exhausted.

Exhausted and sad and trying not to scream, because the sun and moon knew how badly he wanted to yell right now. Not just at Beansprout, but at everyone else who was keeping quiet, at the stars and the river and the ocean.He hadn't been heard, and all that meant was he was failing Fawnlight again. Fawnlight. FawnCat. His friend who had listened and spoke up and taught him so much. He was trying to keep her from being forgotten, but when everything she stood for was being torn down, all he could was sit there helplessly, watching.

He barely registered Sedgestorm walking past, but he was able to nod. "Thank you." All he had done recently was lose, and stars, he was sick of it.

The black apprentice listened carefully, nodding her head softly. She had so desperately wished she had become an apprentice sooner. Her leg made training difficult l, not to mention the pain if she happened to fail. Her eyes scanned the grpund and she hopped forward, taking a shaky breath. "i... I agree beansprout. And if it... Offers help... I can help train them? If the... Energy of the ypunger kits becomes to much to handle?" she said softly, flicking an ear back.

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

The siamese radiated confidence as he leaped onto the Streamstone for his first meeting as a "full leader". Though he still had a lot of work to do, Beanstar was confident that he could do it and swore to himself to try his best. He had made the foolish mistake of taking matters into his own paws too aggressively before; Beanstar needed the full support of his Clan if it was to thrive under him. Deciding he needed to speak to Stonepaw and Gingerfrost regarding Clan matters later, the feline determined that he had stood here atop the STreamstone for long enough and let out a loud yowl.

"All RiverClan cats, gather for a Clan meeting!"

Beansprout seemed to be in a good mood. Firelight joined the gathering cats, wondering if Beansprout had finally gotten his nine lives, ensuring the stability of RiverClan. From what she could see, ever since Pikestar stepped down, Beansprout had proven to be a capable cat in the leadership role. It was too early into his leadership to be certain about anything, but he didn’t seem bad. If he hadn’t gotten his lives yet, she hoped he would get them soon. She didn’t want a promising leader to be killed so easily.

Judgement: Reversed. (https://www.tarot.com/tarot/cards/judgement#reversed)
Mumblepaw | A Dilute Calico With Green Eyes and A Scarred Tail Stub.
Master Scout & Monkeys Paw: Permanently Active | Shadow Fiend: Disabled.

Taking up the mantle of Commander was a difficult one. One that Mumblepaw would gladly try at if he got the chance, but Beansprout was the worst choice his father could have made. The settlement was paying for it as well, had his father gone blind through all the chaos? Stars above better take the lead in this Settlement or they would all pay for Beansprout’s complete lack of action and idiocy. Mumblepaw’s claws now itching to claw that scarred face of his. Fighting that urge was proving to be quite difficult but Mumblepaw refused to be made a fool in such a manner. The learner was pissed, a clear expression of doubt and suspicion pasted onto his face. Pupils clear slits as the calico joined the crowd. Hurting the “Commander” was a dumb idea, it would only serve a purpose of getting himself killed or exiled. A quiet hiss could be heard from his maw.
Mumblepaw weaved through the crowd, finding a seat directly next to Gingerfrost, or at least as close he could get to his father. Giving the tabby a clear look or questioning Beansprout’s authority. Whispering a statement to him as well. “if something happens, you know you’re right after him right….it will be your head on a spike…you understand the risk you placed yourself at…? I pray to the stars above that nothing will happen to you, Father. I really do.” Mumblepaw mewed, now gripping the stick in his mouth. Green haze clearly locked onto Beansprout. Nobody else was worth his time right now. Holding such a high place of power would only serve as a catalyst of destruction.

Mention(s): Estelle
Extra Mention(s): vellichor - Viewing

This meeting was particularly slow moving in the lethargic tabby's opinion, who, embarrassingly enough, slowly began to nod off already. Just like at the gathering (soon, he'll be caught sleeping on those if he continues this way). Even he would prefer to avoid that though -- not that he cared much what others thought, but he was quite aware a certain Beansprout didn't quite enjoy accidental faceplanting and, by extension, was likely to condemn public sleeping. Yes, he wasn't quite to fond of the idea getting publicly yelled at either, so let's try to stay awake.

Still, his head went nod, nod, nod... When a certain dilute calico pelt came into sight, a familiar scent of Mumblepaw tickling his nose and senses awake. Dark green eyes blinked once, blinked twice, and with a tired look turned to his child. His child who had some very peculiar words for him. They were enough to wake the tabby up, his brow giving a twitch as he listened.
"..I'm well aware of the risks my position entails. But I assure you, no heads will be put on spikes."
His tone was a low whisper as he replies to Mumblepaw, eyes momentarily flitting aside to meet the apprentices. Perhaps Mumblepaw was being a little dramatic with the heads on spikes, but he understood the metaphor... If it even was one. He didn't know which would be worse, although one arguably more unsanitary. But the point was that Gingerfrost would not see any corpses fall, let alone his clan. What happened to himself was far from his concerns; his own mistakes had led RiverClan down a dark path, he now had to do what he could to set things right -- or at least try to. And as much as he wanted to believe his son, he prayed that Mumblepaw's instincts on Beansprout were wrong.

Emerging from the warriors' den was Snowbeak, pale gray fur ruffled and eyes glossed over with sleep. The call had awoken him and he saw no point in dawdling any further. White paws carried him over to sit amongst his Clanmates, a tail-flick in greeting to those he passed. The warrior settled down on a spot not quite in the front, but not quite in the back, and took a seat as his tail came to rest over his paws.

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

As cats began to gather, the siamese found himself waiting far longer than normal to start the meeting. Perhaps it was a hope that more cats would actually show up, or maybe it was because a part of him wasn't quite ready to announce his name. But he had to think about all the cats who needed ceremonies first, not himself. Pushing his fears aside, Beanstar spoke up, finally.

"I apologize for the delay, my Clanmates. Before anything else, we have a few kits who have been waiting 6 long moons for their ceremonies." Was it a bit petty to mention the age? Perhaps. However, Beanstar didn't quite care right now. "Stormkit [ x ghostie ], Snowkit [ lio ]. Please step forward." He found his voice quivering as he called the names of his grandkits. He couldn't believe it had been this long. That they were old enough to become apprentices. He-- no. No. Beanstar couldn't let his fragile emotions take over now. He would confront them later, perhaps. But not now. "These young cats have suffered great loss at such a young age. May their mother, Fawnlight, watch over them as they receive their names today."

Breathe. Calm. He was okay. His heart was pounding in his chest, but Beanstar was okay. He could do this now and cry later.

Woah, two new apprentices were going to be made? How exciting! The smoky tabby hopped onto all four paws, gleefully grinning as yellow hues danced around the clearing in search of the two pelts of the siblings, only to frown quizzically as she didn’t notice the two kits. Huh. They weren’t here yet. Oh well, she’ll cheer on for them when she showed up. Other than that, she did feel rather bored. Then again, there wasn’t really anything to do other than sit and listen and blah. How boring.

CLOUDJUMPER (he/him)

⋙ Slinking back into camp, the large black-and-white tomcat’s head hang low and his eyes looked sunken into his head, exhausted and miserable. One of his kittens, Otterkit, was... gone. She wasn't anywhere in camp, or the dens, or anywhere he'd searched through RiverClan's outer territory. He didn't think it was possible, but it felt like another chunk of his heart had been violently ripped out of his chest. His three daughters were the only part of Fawnlight he still had left, and now one of them had disappeared. Was it his fault? Cloudjumper felt his body shudder at the thought and he shook his head. Hadn't the young tomcat suffered enough? Hadn't he lost enough? Apparently not. He'd soon catch sight of a clan meeting that had just been called together, which only made him feel so much worse. His kits were old enough to become apprentices now, but.... it felt so wrong for Otterkit to not be here with her sisters.

Regardless, Cloudjumper attempted to swallow the newly-formed grief in his throat and padded silently over to the bustling crowd. Stormkit and Snowkit still needed his support today, and he'd be damned if he missed out on their apprentice ceremony. His blue-hued eyes would spot them both amongst the rest of the clowder of RiverClan cats. Stormkit, as per usual, looked eager enough for what was coming, but Snowkit... She appeared just as sad as him that Otterkit wasn't with them today. The massive curly-furred warrior padded over to the fluffy patched molly and sat down beside her, curling his bushy tail around Snowkit as a sign of comfort. "I'm so proud of you, kiddo. You're gonna be an amazing apprentice, I just know it." Cloudjumper then murmured to her quietly, his words being only for his daughter, "I love you all so much. Your mother... she's smiling from StarClan right now." He couldn't find the right words on what to say regarding Otterkit's disappearance, feeling like if he tried, he'd start crying. He needed to be strong for Snowkit and Stormkit.

At the appearance of her papa, Snowkit's head turned up to look at him. His tail curling around her comforted the she-cat, leaning forward to nuzzle into his fur. As Cloudjumper spoke, icy blue eyes glimmered with sadness. She was excited to be an apprentice, though a bit nervous at the same time, and her papa's words brought a sense of solace, but... it was hard not to be upset when she would be becoming an apprentice without her sister. And her mama... she wished her mama could be here too. Snowkit knew her papa was sad. She didn't want him to be sad, but she didn't know how to help, and that made her more sad. Taking a deep breath, she offered a shaky smile to Cloudjumper.

"I l-love you papa," she mewed, "I'll be a r-real good apprentice f-for you and mama a-and Stormkit and Otterkit!" As she finished speaking, Snowkit's ears perked. Her name had been called. It was time! She shook her head, trying to force away the icky bad feelings so she could focus on the big moment. With one last nudge to Cloudjumper's side, Snowkit rose to her paws and bounded forward to the Streamstone. Mister Beancat's face didn't look very happy, though, nor were his words. Ah... talking about mama being gone. Snowkit briefly looked up to the sky. She didn't understand where her mama was, but she hoped she was okay. And that mama was proud of her and Stormkit and Otterkit- wherever she had disappeared off to.

Snowkit looked around, seeking out Stormkit in the crowd before sitting down and waiting for mister Beancat to go on.

Stormkit's paws were buzzing, like, literally buzzing. Nausea was swirling in her stomach; she had waited for this moment. This exact moment for so long. Expect now it wasn't with Otterkit, and nothing felt right about it. She was becoming an apprentice, and she was getting her named changed! No one but Bean-ster knew. Stormkit was looking around nervously, and it was easy for it to pass off as excitement. She was, she was. She was so many things, and she didn't know what. Her feelings felt far, far too big for her.

Stormkit's gaze lands on Cloudpapa and Snowkit, and her heart feels warmth. At least they were here, and she would've joined in - tackling her sister to the ground with happy yips. She wanted to, but something held her back. Kept her smile just a little bit waned, before turning her attention to the Streamstone. Bean-ster called their names, and Stormkit mourned the lack of Otterkit with them. And then she put on a smile, readied herself up and skipped towards the front. "Excuse me!!! COMIN' THROUGH!! Pretty please, out out!!!" She squeaked out, weaving through the legs of her clanmates.

Stormkit stepped up, pushed her chest out and looked to Bean-ster. "I do!!!!" She chirped, even if he hadn't said the fancy words yet. She already knew her response. She looked towards Snowkit who had stepped up and she smiled, "We gonna be apprentices, we're gonna train together, right?? " Stormkit whispered in an hushed tone, wiggling her eyebrows up and down.

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

Stars, Moon, and Sun above, these were his grandkits. And here they stood before Beanstar, before the Streamstone, before the whole Stardamned Clan, ready to receive their apprentice's names. "Snowkit and Stormkit. From this day forward, you will be known as Snowpaw and Daypaw." His heart swelled. "Snowpaw, you will be training under Gingerfrost. I fully trust that he will make you into a brave, strong warrior." The siamese turned to face the other, more excitable cat. "Daypaw, I have decided to take you on as my apprentice. I will do my best to help you grow and reach your full potential." Beanstar dipped his head toward the young cat and let his words hang in the air for a moment. "Snowpaw! Daypaw!" The leader chanted, tail waving high in the air. Hopefully, the Clan would join in celebrating these two cats.

"Next, I need all apprentices in need of new mentors to step forward." Unfortunately, this was a common occurrence in RiverClan; a cat goes missing, an apprentice needs a new mentor. This was just another step in the ever-continuing cycle.

Two new apprentices were certainly good for the Clan and Snowbeak thumped his tail on the ground eagerly beside him. With how soft his voice was, he was almost certain it would be lost amongst the loud cheers of his Clanmates. Besides, he was content in thwomping his tail on the ground and letting a rumbling purr and deep grin rest upon his face in celebration of the new 'paws. Snowpaw and Daypaw - and a name change too. He was curious what brought that on, as name changes were not all that common. Regardless, the warrior redirected his bright blue gaze back up to Beanstar atop the Streamstone as he kept his ears perked. The next order of business would reveal itself to be apprentices needing mentors. An exciting time indeed.

If it were possible she would clap for the two of them excited to see more apprentices, more possible friends in the den! So she stuck to chanting their new names with a lot of excitement added into it. Bi-colored ears flicked when she heard Bean speak more, calling apprentices with out mentors. She folded her ears back in somewhat of embarrassment maybe even a bit of annoyance. Springpaw got up and came forward she had been excited to start her training in the beginning. Now she sat here waiting, maybe this new mentor would actually take her out instead of just keeping her in camp. She had only gone on one patrol so far and hadn't even known how to hunt yet, someone else had to teach her. Hopefully whomever would be her new one could teach her a few things finally, she had been patient long enough.

CLOUDJUMPER (he/him)

⋙ Once the meeting finally began, the massive white-and-black tomcat tried his best to focus all the bitter feelings in his heart deep down within himself. He felt a very deepened sadness, harbored resentment and so much unbridled fury over things that he felt like he had no real justification for. However, Cloudjumper refused to show it here today, no, this wasn’t about him. This was about Stormkit and Snowkit. And that was what mattered most in this moment, as much as he felt sick to his stomach with each passing second that he sat here in this crowd. Even with his daughter sitting beside him, he felt alone. His mothers and brothers were gone. His mentors were gone. All the cats he called his friends were gone. Fawnlight was gone. Snowleap was gone. Otterkit was gone. Cloudjumper was nothing more than a ghost in a dying clan. But he forced himself to go on for the few that still needed him, as much as it pained him every single day he woke up. He hoped that someday he would go numb and not have to feel. It was not supposed to turn out this way.

The curly-furred warrior listened to Snowkit tell him that she loved him, and that she'd make him, Fawnlight and Otterkit proud. "...I know you will, baby." He whispered, feeling himself fighting with all he had not to break down. It was time for his children to become apprentices. She'd leave his side after one last nudge and bounded up to join her sister. After that, it was hard to hear and focus on anything really. He did not look up at Beansprout or look anywhere else but his paws for a few long seconds, but he'd eventually force his gaze up to look at Stormkit and Snowkit. Cloudjumper just looked at them, feeling tears begin to collect in the corners of his eyes. "Fawnlight, give me strength..." The black-and-white tomcat thought, feeling his body shake with emotion.

Soon, his daughters were no longer kittens, but official apprentices of RiverClan: Snowpaw and Daypaw. His babies were growing up, faster than he could process. He was still so far behind, still grieving their mother's death and Otterkit's disappearance. The clan chanted their names and he would draw in a deep, shaky breath. "Snowpaw! Daypaw! Snowpaw! Daypaw!" Cloudjumper would shout, closing his eyes as he did so, but a couple tears then would still manage to slip down his face. He tried his damndest to be the loudest in the crowd, filling his voice with pride and love for his little ones. He'd do anything to have Fawnlight here beside him now, holding him and telling him that everything was going to be alright. "...I'm so proud of you both..."

Minkkit

Minkkit was so confused. Bewildered, even, if someone wanted to look at it that way. Because no matter how many times - no matter how much she counted, in the end she only found two.

Two cats. Two apprentices.

Where was the third?

For as long as Minkkit could remember, which wasn’t much, mind you, she’d seen Stormkit and Snowkit and Otterkit all together. But now Otterkit was gone instead of being up there with their siblings, and all Minkkit could do was wonder where they had gone. Maybe they’d gotten lost? Maybe nobody knew that they were lost?

Turning to the first cat she saw and recognized, which unfortunately happened to be Lionpaw, Minkkit began trying to tug on her former denmate’s bushy tail. “Gone, gone. All gone, yellow-friend. Must go look. Must find.”

Feeling a slight tug on his tail, he whipped around to face the culprit. Of course, it was Minkkit. He let out a long, dramatic sigh.

"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" Lionpaw didn't care for what she was blabbering about and made no effort to pretend to. He yanked his tail away from her, safely tucking it behind his paws.

Whatever she had lost she could look for it herself. It was probably something stupid anyways- like a shell or dead fly. He had half a mind to strike at her, but with Beansprout having a birds-eye view of everything he would surely see it. Plus, her father would tear him a new hole for it too.

Lionpaw scanned the crowd for Raccoonpelt. He didn't see him, but that didn't mean he wasn't watching. For all he knew he could be lurking in the shadows, waiting eagerly for Lionpaw to screw up so he'd have a reason to pounce at him.

Fine, he'd humor her just this once. She said something was gone, right? "Ugh, go check by the river," he said. He didn't mean it literally but didn't really care if she took it that way, so long as she left him alone.

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

At times like these, Beanstar missed his daughter more than ever. He sincerely hoped his Clanmates didn't think less of him when he shed a single tear, quickly wiping it with a fuzzy paw. After a few deep breaths, the siamese took a looong blink and opened his eye once more, ready to face RiverClan. To his surprise and absolute delight, only one apprentice seemed to need a new mentor! Though it was one of the newer apprentices, and that reallyyy didn't sit quite right with the small feline.

After a few more moments, he finally spoke once more, addressing the lone apprentice.

"Springpaw (https://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65519), thank you for stepping forward. Although she recently rejoined, I would like to entrust Seedheart (https://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65645) to be your mentor. May she guide you and be there for you throughout your apprenticeship."

Now, next order of business. "Any former outsiders who wish to be introduced to the Clan may step forward now. You can opt out if you'd like to preserve some anonymity, though. It's up to you."

He was just going to do that right now. No way he was serious right now. He did not just cry infront of cats he knew nothing about, let alone care about. Now focused onto Beansprout, Mumblepaw inhaled a large gulp of air. Only to be hit with a blast and frankly overwhelming wave of the Settlement that Guides the River clashing scents. His paw immediately meets their nose, trying to avoid anything like the previous inhale. Stars that guide, he needed to visit Stonepaw after this was over. But that thought was before the chanting started. The same two names being said over and over again. Mumblepaw felt sick. They felt disgusted right now. Not at Daypaw or Snowpaw, they just wanted out of this meeting, now. It was loud. It was too loud. His nose now overflowed with scents, even faint or fading one. This was a curse he wished onto no-one. Yet he didn’t leave. It was like an animal attack, you can’t look away when you really should.

The learner didn’t want to be here right now, and that was clear from his expression. Ears pins halfway and eyes wide as he stared at the Commander. Now saying the words a bit louder than before to try and drown out the chanting. The calico begins speaking once more, not yelling or full on screaming. Just loud enough that a few cats close to them could most likely hear, and with it being so close to the streamstone. Mumblepaw guessed that Beansprout could hear him over the chanting, even with the calico’s eyes never leaving the small cat. Placing his now freshly chewed stick onto the ground, it rolled a few inches away from him, Mumblepaw didn’t care right now. “Hawkstar ……Hawkstar…Hawkstar……he is the one without a head, without a head, without a head, all the way through the night. Hawkstar ……Hawkstar…Hawkstar……he is the one without a head, without a head, without a head, all the way through the night.

He didn't expect a pair of lithe limbs to wrap around him, so when Minkkit hugged him he tensed up, then she pulled away just as quickly and scampered off. He didn't pay much mind to where she was going, just glad to finally be rid of her.

"Urgh- Weirdo," he muttered. He groomed his fur excessively and only stopped once he felt he had washed away all her yuckiness.

Satisfied, he listened to the rest of the meeting. He couldn't help smirking when it was announced that Springpaw needed a new mentor. Was her mentor so incompetent that they went missing, or was she such a bad apprentice that they ditched her? Either or seemed hilarious to him. He watched her pad up to the Streamstone with a cheeky grin, adding this moment to his collection of ammunition against her.

Nightspark slowly nodded at the reassignation... There was still cats that didn't cared about apprentices huh? But soon his attention was caught by a mumbling, and his author was... Mumblepaw? What was he speaking about? A cat named Hawkstar without a head? What in the hell was that... He said, loud enough for nearby cats to hear if they weren't listening Beanstar "What in Starclan's name are you speaking about? Who is this... Hawkstar?" he wasn't paying attention anymore, his gaze was locked on Mumblepaw, what in the hell was he speaking about? Surely something fiendish, how does a cat was supposed to walk without a head? It was surely a Dark Forest abomination...

The meeting, dull as ever, continued after a short silence, and Gingerfrost idly listened on. He wasn't particularly interested in what had to be announced at the current moment, nor in the silence that lasted beforehand, until his name was suddenly called. Not having been ignoring the meeting completely, he quickly caught on that he'd been assigned another new apprentice -- Snowkit, now Snowpaw. Another one? He cast a quick indecipherable glance up at Beansprout, holding back the tired grumble in his throat. If this wasn't his job he would've long retired to the elder's den, people were calling him old anyway. But, he ought to go meet his new apprentice. Eyes soon finding the young Snowpaw, he got up to head her way but was interrupted by a different sort of chanting... Mumblepaw? A confused knit of his brows marked his features as his son began chanting about Hawkstar, headlessness and whatever else. It was... Mildly concerning, to say the least. Again he turned around, this time towards Mumblepaw.
"..You alright?"
He asked his son, frankly a little confused. Concerned, he shot a glance around the crowd for Stonepaw, feeling a bit odd at the thought of leaving his child's side now. But the meeting continued, and so did Stonepaw, Gingerfrost shuffling a little with his paw.
"Mumblepaw."
He mew, casting a steady gaze at the apprentice's eyes after momentarily averting them. Mayhaps getting it's attention will pull them out of this daze. Though, he kept his voice low as to not attract too much unwanted attention. Skies above what was going on?

Stonepaw

His ears perked at the names that were called. Snowkit and Stormkit, Snowkit and Stormkit. Where was Otterkit? Had the poor dear been forgotten? Had she gotten lost, just like Antkit all those moons ago? That was horrible, perhaps he should bring up those patrols that Snowleap had suggested, the ones that would be sent out to look for the missing, because how did kits go missing? It wasn't safe out there, Martenkit and Silversnow were a prime example of that. An awful example, but still he knew now that they weren't safe. Poor Otterkit. Poor Fawnlight. Poor Cloudjumper.

He shook his head. No sad today, he had to be happy for them, because Stonepaw was going to make sure that nothing else went wrong for the clan, and nothing else went wrong for Cloudfriend. His buddy had already gone through enough and he was going to prove that the dog days were over. "SNOWPAW! DAYPAW! SNOWPAW! DAYPAW!" His little buddy was becoming an apprentice and he wasn't going to ruin her day by having a sour face. He froze for a second as Beansprout announced the mentors, another apprentice for him and Gingerfrost? There were plenty of applicable warriors in the clan, Stonepaw didn't like the idea of him being so close to one of Fawnlight's kits, but he'd said it before and he'd say it again. Today would not be a bad day.

Instead, he made his way over to Cloudjumper and sat down next to his friend. Where they still friends? It had been a while since they last spoke, but he'd like to think so. He'd like to think that he had a comforting look on his face as he sat down, and he'd like to think that it helped, even if it wasn't a perfect solution. Help for a bit, even if that was the best he could do, yeah, he'd help for a bit. He sat there for a moment, watching and listening as Beansprout rambled and reassignments were issued. Quiet and unfocused. He had shut up for once, and that had taken most of his energy.

He could feel someone looking at him and he glanced around, finally landing on Gingerfrost, who seemed to be... concerned? Face bent towards Mumblepaw. Uh-oh, what was up with Mumblepaw. With a nod to Cloudjumper, he was moving over there, catching the mutters as he grew closer. One without a head? Huh? Sounded like the ghost in the Thicket? Why was he calling Beansprout the ghost? The ghost who must have been Hawkstar. "Hey there buddy, are you okay?" He moved to stand in front of him, trying to block his view of the leader. "Let's take some breaths, kay? Do you want to move to my den?" He cast a look at Gingerfrost, uncertain.

He's your kid, help me out here.

He wanted out. He didn’t wanna leave either. The thoughts were truly swirling everywhere. Silence fell onto their muzzle as it shut. Paw covering as his eyes tried to detach themselves from Beansprout and the urge to point at him, and then declare Mumblepaw’s thought out-loud, it would not let the learner rest however. As his green eyes turned to clear slits, Mumblepaw felt a single, quiet hiss escape their maw. Not directed to anyone here, but Beansprout. The mumbled words coming out in a venom filling mess. “He. Hawkstar, no head. He. downfall, Beansprout. All die, him.” Mumblepaw felt a tiny bit of relief as Stonepaw join the three cats. Mumblepaw was cornered. His father was not a comfort right now, that role was held by Stonepaw. If anyone else had notice his rambles, what would happen. Dear god what would happen. Mumblepaw wasn’t insane, he just….. stars not even the calico could describe (and neither could their roleplayer). Green gaze meeting Stonepaw’s amber ones, he might be a moon older but Mumblepaw felt an extremely attachment towards the tabby. Friends stuck together? Right?
Gingerfrost asked the question first, then Stonepaw. The sounds. The smells. It was all too much. The the learner paused for a moment. Eyes now frantically searching for the stick that had him so much comfort over the past moons. Hell, he had given his father an omen, however Mumble was praying that it didn’t happen. No. ‘Get it together.’ He was almost old enough to get his name. Acting like a kit who just saw a ghost- okay so maybe Mumblepaw saw a ghost. But ghosts didn’t exist, or at it didn’t hope so. The learner is grounded by the presence of Stonepaw here and his stick. Which the the calico had recovered from the ground below, Jae now locked around it. Regardless of the dirt and sandy texture that coated it in a thin layer.
As Mumblepaw’s roleplayer is slowly running out of terms to call him, the cat turns to Gingerfrost. Wide fully open as they met the Second-In-Commands concerned expression. “….ghosts….”, Nightspark’s questions now registered in the cat’s head, Mumblepaw was truly not in the mood to give a whole history lesson right now, so he discarded it, now focusing on Stonepaw. Turning its head back to face him. “Please. Herbalist. Sad. Den. Go.” The words coming out stagnant, lacking any sense of Mumblepaw’s normal chipper tone when it was speaking towards Stonepaw. Although the learner was extremely tempted to Speak Now about Beansprout, and quite literally every front of the Settlement, however it could ruin his Reputation. However his breaths were once more a mess of ragged inhaled and exhaled. Like someone had just shoved a bunch of reeds down his windpipe.

Eyes, she could feel the eyes burning into the back of her head and it wasn't just from a few clanmates. She briefly looked back to see that Lionpaw had realized she was up here now. Oh yay, she was sure that he would throw this at her, come up with some excuse as to why she needed a new mentor. She was sure it'd be fine, she handled his comebacks before she'd do it again. Hearing the new name of her mentor she looked around for said cat.

Seedheart

---

The warrior was quite suprised she had been appointed a mentor, but was grateful that the leader saw she was a skilled cat. She let out a small purr of satisfaction and padded up to meet her new apprentice.

"Hello, my name is Seedheart!"

Wait they knew that-

"Er, I'm excited to be your mentor, and promise you I'll do my best to ensure you bhecome the best warrior you can!", they meowed. Seedheart was pretty nervous as she hadn't been a mentor in awhile, and they hadn't been born in this clan, but the molly knew she was up for the task!

[sorry this is a little late! Based on what I saw of Springpaw, there may be a personality clash, and I'm totally up for discussing how that would effect the relationship between the two! ]

Mumblepaw clearly wasn't alright, even after silence finally fell over the apprentice. Gingerfrost may not always be the best at reading body language, but even he could tell Mumblepaw was still uncomfortable -- almost as if they were frightened of something. A hiss escaped the apprentice, pulling Gingerfrost's glance to Stonepaw away and back onto it, the following words standing out in the silence. Once again it concerned Hawkstar, and Beansprout, no head... Downfall. It lined up with what Mumblepaw had warned the deputy about before, making it all the more unsettling. He didn't know what had come over his son all of a sudden. He knew the youngling had never been a fan of Beansprout's, but to compare him to a headless leader? Gingerfrost had yet to see the connection between the two, lest Hawkstar's downfall had started the way Beansprout's leadership began. It was something to heed, if anything.

Soon enough, Stonepaw showed up as well and Gingerfrost couldn't help the little bit of relief. Perhaps Stonepaw, as their healer, would know what to do but judging by the look he got from the young medicine cat, he wasn't entirely sure himself. If anything, at least, Mumblepaw reacted to Stonepaw's presence, and the tabby gave a short nod at their words. Stonepaw had yet to agree, though Gingerfrost was fairly certain he would agree with Mumblepaw's words; any place seemed better for the older apprentice than here and now. Repositioning himself to stand beside Mumblepaw, he spoke careful.
"Lean on me if you want. I'll wait outside if you want me to."
He would take no offence if Mumblepaw would rather stay in the den with just Stonepaw; the apprentice had responded better to the latter, and large crowds didn't seem ideal for him right now. It was entirely up to his son.

Springpaw tilted her head at the reintroduction from the warrior, did the other think she forgot her name that quick? She sure hoped not, she wasn't about to have others think she forgot things easily. Listening further she grinned, although she wondered why the other seemed so nervous she was glad that she would hopefully get a chance to learn something. A part of her was sure that she might of been left behind in the learning department compared to the others that got apprenticed with her. Oh well she'd have to play catch up and fast if she wanted to keep up and become the best warrior. "And I'll be the best apprentice you got!" came her declaration. With that she plopped her butt down and shot a snarky look at Lionpaw then went back to turning her attention back to the leader.

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

Active Purrk(s): N/A

While it seemed none of the outsiders who had joined had any intention of stepping forward, it seemed Beanstar had a totally different situation at paw right now. Mumblepaw, chanting some strange mantra. Hawkstar.... the name was registered at the very corners of his memory. An ancient RiverClan leader, perhaps? No, he could dwell on that later. For now, Mumblepaw was interrupting the meeting with... whatever the hell it was doing. As the siamese's opinions of the other feline had declined significantly pretty recently, it was difficult not to let his irritation show. Though there was also concern; he wasn't too terribly sure how to feel. He could only watch as the situation resolved itself with the help of Stonepaw and Gingerfrost. Beanstar let out a grateful purr toward the two, feeling increasingly grateful to have them by his side. "We can look into this after the meeting is over?" He asked softly to Gingerfrost. Mumblepaw was his kid after all.

With a quick shake of his pelt, Beanstar addressed the rest of the Clan again. "Well, with that taken care of, hopefully, things can go on, and anyone who wishes to check on Mumblepaw may do so after the meeting if Stonepaw allows." Was the summer heat getting to the young cat's head? "Though no cat stepped forward, I hope you all welcome any and all new additions to the Clan." He took a pause to refocus before continuing on with perhaps the most important pair of announcements.

"It has been brought up to me by a multitude of cats that the name "Shield" for our special ranks... well, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Shielding is an action, not a thing, and causes more confusion than it does good" Deep breath. "It has also recently been rediscovered that Shields were once called Lionhearts, in honor of their courage and honor. I would like to rename this rank, as well as promote a few warriors to Lionhearts, should they take the role." He hadn't spoken to these cats before, so he had no idea whether or not they'd accept.

"After watching and taking note of the do-ers, the brave and bold of this Clan who don't hesitate to get things done, I have decided to offer the position of Lionheart to Pebblesplash, Nightspark, Firelight, and Ferretsnap." And there it was. It was like a small weight was lifted off of Beanstar's shoulders. Feeling more relaxed and confident, he continued. "Should these cats accept their position, they will be trusted with helping Gingerfrost, Stonepaw, Wormbite (the lead Lionheart), and I in keeping this Clan stable in all aspects of life. Though, ultimately, it is up to them."

With that, he flicked his tail forward, inviting the shosen to step to the very front of the crowd. And now, Beanstar watched.

Cobwebpaw Lifted his head in Interest at what his temporary Mentor had to Say... Lionhearts... Shields... Huh, Cobwebpaw figured the rank was probably like Enforcer...

He could feel his cheeks turning red as the memory of when he was an apprentice and tried to hard to prove himself, by asking to challenge an enforcer, but being reprimanded by Dawnstar...

His younger Days had been Shameful, in His Oppinion, for it had seemed to him that everyone was always disappointed in him, or tired of dealing with him...

Tigerpool thought so shields had been renamed. Oh and four cats were becoming Lionhearts. Rabbitkit, Blossomkit and Wishkit heard shields be renamed to lionhearts and that four cats were becoming lionhearts. That was exciting to the three kits.

What's wrong with Mumblepaw? Sunsetpaw was a bit worried about it. But...hopefully they'll be fine! Did they meet Hawkstar? How's that possible...uh...they should probably still pay attention to the meeting...even if they're a bit worried....
The orange tabby continued listened with interest, 'Lionhearts'? That sound cool! They were happy for the cats that were offered the position as well; Pebblesplash, Nightspark, Firelight, and Ferretsnap. Lionhearts...the apprentice wondered on why the name has changed...and how it was changed...also, when was it changed? Must've been a llloooonnnnggggg time ago since Beanstar said 'rediscovered' which ment it was probably forgotten at some point right?

Ferretsnap had padded into camp just in time to hear the siamese tom's most recent announcement. Ah, damn, he was late again. Meetings always appeared to happen right when he was out of camp. Nonetheless, Ferretsnap padded up to the crowd, sitting down and listening. Ah, the leader was speaking of the Shields- he remembered the conversation they had a while ago, about the name being stupid. It appears that Beansprout had heeded his words. Lionhearts was not a bad name, either. He nodded in acknowledgement, remaining silent, though his eyes widened at the sound of his own name.

The tom's ears perked. Beansprout wanted to offer a position of Lionheart to him? Had he proven himself trustworthy once more after the mistake that had been made so long ago? Ferretsnap swallowed, rising to his paws once more.

"I accept."

fluffy white she-cat with brown and black patches and icy blue eyes.
she/her

She was Snowpaw now!! And she had been assigned to mister Gingercat! Snowpaw blinked up at the Beancat with a wide grin, nodding enthusiastically. At the sound of Stormkit- no!! Daypaw's!! voice, she looked to her sister and bounced on her paws excitedly.

"Y-Yeah! We'll t-train together as much as mister B-Beancat and mister Gingercat let us!!" she squeaked out, leaning forward to try to bump her head against Daypaw's shoulder. Even though Otterkit couldn't be an apprentice with them, she'd do her best for her sister.

Turning around, though, Snowpaw noticed mister Gingercat talking to someone- oh, the stick cat!- and Stonepaw. Oh. The stick cat didn't look very good. Were they okay? They were talking, but Snowpaw couldn't quite make out what was being said. Oh, and Snowpaw needed to go greet her mentor too, didn't she? Was that what was supposed to be done? But if mister Gingercat was busy then would she be bothering him if she walked over? She didn't want to bother anyone. And she didn't know if stick cat was alright either- should she ask? Hrm. Oh. Mister Beancat said others can check on the stick cat after the meeting. But her mentor was there with the stick cat... hrrrmmmm...

Snowpaw cast a look toward Daypaw, offering another smile before padding off toward the three cats. Slowly, she approached them, unable to hear more than just a few words coming from the stick cat. They didn't make sense to her, though, so Snowpaw blinked in confusion. Quietly, she shuffled closer, blinking up at the three with wide blue eyes.

"Is s-stick cat okay? C-Can Stoneypaws help with h-herbs? C-Can- uhm- can Snowpaw help in a-any way?" she asked quietly, tilting her head to the side. She shuffled her paws awkwardly as she stood there staring at the three, gaze darting between them. If any of them didn't want her there, she would go, but... she wanted to see her mentor, and she wanted to help!! If she could, at least. She didn't particularly know how, but still!!!

"S-Snowpaw can d-do whatever is a-asked of her! Snowpaw j-just want to help! Or s-something," Snowpaw continued, "Snowpaw will l-listen to whatever her mentor and Stoneypaws and stick cat w-want."

ೃ⁀➷ vellichor lio Captain [ just in case you wanted cloud to notice!! expect cloud hugs in day's next post tho hehe ]

Sounds of life roared around her, and she felt every inch of her burst with excitement, joy. Relief. Her breaths were shaky, like everything was a little too much but she didn't entirely mind. She wasn't Stormkit anymore, she had shed her fur and she was now anew. Daypaw. Daypaw, Daypaw. It fits, it was nice. It felt like her, and hearing those call her name - she wondered if Fawnlight was proud. Was she watching? Did she approve?

Daypaw smiled so wide her cheeks hurt, somethings not entirely clicking inside her head until Snowk- Snowpaw, Snowpaw, was nudging her shoulder. She blinked a few times, trying to shake the small fuzzy feeling. "YEAH!!! We're gonna be the coolest apprentices!!! I'm -" Her gaze shifted to Bean-ster, so, she was pretty sure he was okay. She noticed the tension, but Cloudpapa wouldn't let her have a bad mentor. "We're gonna kick butt at our training sessions!!" Daypaw chirped, nodding her head firmly. She would be the best!!

The grey dappled molly peeked out from her sister to see what she was staring at, "Mrrp?" She questioned, small ear flickering. "They look sad, " It was a small note, she knew that look. A lot of cats sometimes had it, like Wormy or Uncle Snow. Like they were kinda looking for something, but it was lost. She hoped she didn't get that look, it didn't seem fun. Daypaw thought about giving the strange cat a hug, but Bean-ster was speaking now. They had to wait, but Snowpaw wasn't waiting? She didn't even realize, but her sister had disappeared from her side.

Daypaw frowned, well. She guessed she had to do that too! Bean-ster was still speaking, but she didn't really pay attention. With a small, and maybe a bit of a cheeky grin, instead of turning back she started to try and climb up the Streamstone. Spiky furred and determined, she squeaked. "Misterr, " She whined softly, trying to reach up to touch her nose to his. "I can't thank you!!!" She mewed, how was she supposed to do the bonding thing if she couldn't get up! Her hindlegs kicked wildly, and she let out a huff when she was able to pull her upper half up.

Claws tried to dig in and she looked up at Bean-ster. "Hi, " Daypaw blinked slowly. "Thanks for choosing me. I won't let you down!!"

The pale tortoiseshell tabby mollie was listening to the meeting, nodding along to each and every part… She was always a great listener, picking up on little things, and often enjoyed participating in meetings. She enjoyed being in this “go get’m’ kind of girl. Not just that, PebbleSplash saw herself as an inspirational figure, a role model to her younger clan mates… However, it was some what of a surprise when BeanStar asked her to be a LionHeart…

Purring sweetly, the beautiful mollie stepped forward… “I full heartedly accept your offer,” her voice cracked a bit, for she was purring quite some bit… PebbleSplash probably sounded like a kit being appointed to an apprentice with her excitement…! She turns her blue gaze to her apprentice, BriarPaw ( jupiter ) and smiles. She hoped her apprentice would see this as inspiring and cool and brag to others about this…

Maybe that was her own insecurities begging for validation. Pebblesplash never felt good enough… Standing here now, however, she felt so sure of herself. The only way through life was up now, She was going up in life… Stepping forward to sit near WormBite ( x ghostie ), she whispered in his ear… “After the meeting, can you teach me how to do this stuff? I’m not quite familiar with the role for I wasn’t particularly close with anyone with the role before…” dipping her head politely, she added; “And I hope we can learn to let go of our grudges against one another…”

RiverClan, I’ll serve you till my last breath…

Oh? So Shields were changed to Lionhearts? But… wasn’t that a warrior name? Cormorantpaw tilted her head to the side from the thought itself, her eyes glinting with questioning as she silently comprehend the thought. However, she was just quick to roll her shoulders. Oh well, if it’s a name change to the rank, then it’s a name change, she supposed. It wasn’t like she could do much about it it. Big Beanie was currently the leader, and she couldn’t change much about it. However, she began to happily hop up and down for the new cats in the rank, happily cheering. “WOWZIEEEE! CONGRATS CONGRATS!” she screamed, being sure that her voice was the loudest among the crowd of cats… even if it might wake a few sleeping kits or queens. Oops.

His ears perked, him? Had he heard well? Apparently yes, he approached, hiding his surprise, was he really worthy for becoming a Lionheart?

Sitting in front of the Streamstone, he looked at the top and nodded to Beanstar, with a thankful but quite surprised look, he spoke "I accept your proposition." He was standing there, his surprise slowly fading away, replaced with excitement. He gave a quick look and smiled to his apprentice Kestrelpaw ( sol. ) before looking again at his leader.

Firelight as a Lionheart?

Her life was dedicated to being the best warrior—doing each patrol well, hunting even when it wasn’t expected of her, and being friendly to everybody. Truthfully, despite her ambition, Firelight didn’t expect to achieve any more than simply being a well-liked cat. Maybe it shouldn’t have been a big deal, maybe it wasn’t for these other Lionhearts, and yet, this was everything Firelight ever wanted and more.

And there was that deeper, attention-seeking part of her that all this ambition was for. Firelight loved being seen. And being one of the few Lionhearts of RiverClan would certainly provide that for her.

She rose to her paws, the familiar feeling of her ambition being fed coursing through her body. It sparked over something as simple as hearing her name spoken, and burned harder over things such as leading a patrol; in major matters like being assigned an apprentice, she felt it the most. And Firelight had never felt it this strong before—never so certain that, yes, everything she’d done in her life up until this point had been worth it.

“I accept.”

↷✦; briarpaw ❞

The molly looked up as her mentor's name was spoken by Beanstar. Oh. Shields to Lionhearts. Pebblesplash went from warrior to Lionheart. Bri wasn't sure how to feel about that- she had learned from a young age that she lost bonds when the cats she was close to moved up in the ranks and left her behind- she hadn't slept in the same den as her brother since they were 5 moons old, and she'd never get that again. Now, was Pebblesplash going to leave her behind too? Too busy with her new job to take care of Briarpaw?

She wouldn't be surprised, but she hoped not. She wanted to trust. Forcing a smile onto her face, the large tabby ducked her head to the older molly. "Congrats." She murmured, then slumped back as her mentor passed by to go talk to Wormbite, turning her head back upwards to look at Beanstar, waiting for him to speak again. Maybe she should go find someone to sit by, maybe make a new friend, but she was too tired. And frankly? That sounded terrifying.

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

Active Purrk(s): N/A

As each candidate stepped forward and accepted the new position, Beanstar felt excitement and joy sparking in his paws. It took everything in him to keep his tail from lashing to and fro from happiness, though the tip of his fluffy tail still did twitch. "Perfect, thank you all--" he had started before he was interrupted by his newest apprentice, Daypaw, climbing up onto the Streamstone! Beanstar, caught by surprise, frose as the kid made her way up the stone. As she reached out her nose, the siamese unfroze and reached down to meet her. Stars, Moon, and Skies above, it took everything to not burst into tears. He felt as if he was purring so loud that the Clan could hear. "I promise I won't let you down either," he spoke. Beanstar hesitated, but then reached down to touch his nose to the younger cat's shoulder. Just as he had done so many times with her mother, Fawnlight.

After holding back another wave of emotion, he picked up Daypaw by the scruff and gently jumped down from the Streamstone, plopping her onto the ground. (Stars, kits were kinda heavy -- was he getting older?) While he was down here, he chose this moment to address the rest of RiverClan and finish what was left of the meeting down here. "If there's anything else you wish to discuss with me, I'm all ears. Er-- ear, I suppose. If you'd like to leave, you can. Please remember to keep an eye out for danger, and be careful around the WindClan border -- tensions are high right now. I've heard reports of WindClanners crossing borders. I'm not sure why, but please keep yourselves safe."

Stonepaw

Their eyes met and there was a sort of terror reflected back at him that he couldn't explain. This wasn't some sort of mental break, was it? He sounded strange, yes, no one understood him either, but there was something that seemed to suggest that these ramblings weren't as insane as they seemed. Headless. Beanstar. Hawkstar. Headless. There was something there he wasn't picking up, something that, perhaps if he'd known about leaders before Pikestar, he would have been able to answer. But he didn't know and he couldn't answer.

Ghosts? "Yep, yep. Let's get to my den." Sad? Uh-oh. Sad was bad, sad was something he didn't know how to change. This whole situation was something that he remembered from moons ago. The first time they met, when the world was falling apart beside them and Mumblepaw had needed to leave. This was take two, and hopefully it would go better this time. A smile was cast at Gingerfrost as he offered his assistance. "Could you come with us, if that's okay?" If Mumblepaw wanted him to leave, they'd ask Gingerfrost to leave, but for now he felt safer with the tom nearby.

Lionheart was a rather weird name, but he wasn't about to start a debate about what to call the shields, what mattered more was that new members were added to the roster. "Pebblesplash, Nightpawk, Firelight, Ferretsnap!" He brushed through the names in a quick whisper cheer as he attempted to lead his buddy to his den. He'd have to congratulate them separately later, but for now, he was too busy to yell. Yelling would probably only make Mumblepaw feel worse.

He was surprised by the appearance of Snowpaw, but he just waved his tail in welcome. "Stickcat will be okay! We're just going to let them calm down in my den. It's really loud out here, ya know? You don't need to help! Just stay out here and enjoy the meeting! Sit with your dad, or with Gingerfrost!" It wasn't like he didn't want help, but he didn't want Mumblepaw to start spiraling and freak her out. It wouldn't be Mumbs fault, of course, but he'd seen the domino affect of stress before and it wasn't something to force on a new apprentice.

"Congratulations on your name, Snowpaw!" One last smile before he swept into his den, hoping his buddy would follow.
