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

Oh. Stonepaw didn't want her to help. Okay. Well, she couldn't force him to say yes, right? And she was a new apprentice. Stonepaw didn't need Snowpaw bothering him while he helped the stick cat. Her ears lowered against her head, gaze falling to the ground as Stonepaw whisked away the stick cat into his den. Stick cat would be okay. They didn't need a brand new apprentice getting in the way.

"O-Oh... okay," she mumbled, shuffling her paws together and curling her tail over them, "Thank y-you..."

Smiling at the new apprentice, Brightnight flicked her tail, her extremely large stomach tickling at her flicking tail. She was almost a moon overdue, she hadn't told anybody but realized at the moment she felt a large kick and cramp. Brightnight probably should have a moon ago. How many kits was she having that it was taking so long? Was she having 5!? 6!? What if she would have so many kits she wouldn't be able to have anymore! What if she....died?
Padding over to the apprentice medicine cat (hopefully lol) she meowed softly. "U-uhm, excuse me?" a shaky tone is what this young queen had. To be honest Brightnight had never been more terrified in her life. Would she die? Would her kits die? Shaking her fluffy head and looking up the sky she whispered. 'I know my father did horrible things. But if he can hear me, Starclan please bring that he protects me and these kits."

ares
I believe you play Springpaw right? (Hopefully this isn't a wrong clan/user mention C(UwU)C )

If I did mention the right person please read this, if not then please ignore or read if you'd like lol.
READ BELOW AT YOUR OWN RISK FOR IT'S AT BIT GROSS!!!!
I'm having Brightnight's whole litter be born late due to her litter of 4 all dying in the womb and Brightnight like...bleeding alot and stuff. (I would have vmed but I'm not sure about if the user is right and stuff. Forgive me lol) She won't die but she'll be extremely close.
BUT, plot twist! She's gonna pass out after the last kit, although she thinks there all dead and grieve's. One kit survives which her mother will care for.
Smol facts
1. Brightnight will not be able to feed the baby so it WILL die if a queen is not found to feed it.

2. I will try and set up something with Beanstar about Brightnight's father visiting her while she passes out after the birth and I'd like a cat to be kinda...apart of it so if you'd like to or have any user/cat recommendations I'd be happy <3

3. stop being so cool your making me jelly. (have a good day hehe)

Well then. Here they were. After nearly two moons out in the open, the clan had finally found a home. Hopefully, they'd be safe here for as long as would be necessary - he did not fancy seeing bloodshed. Gingerfrost was expecting some backlash from outsiders maybe - cats who'd travelled through these places before, it was likely to happen. But he trusted the clan would be able to handle it.

Speaking of which, the sun had risen after their travels and the building of the camp was done. It's about time a few important matters were covered here; there were a few kits still waiting to be apprenticed and... Well, he hadn't had the chance to announce any of deaths yet to the clan, although he presumed it was common knowledge by now, they deserved at least a mention.

An overhanging ledge, a stone much like the one from the old camp, he long realised would be perfect to hold meetings on. So, jumping upon the stone, as opposed to his usual staying on ground level, the now leader looked over the waking clan. His gaze swept over the new dens, too, silently observing the way they were built and taking in the height at which he stood --noooope, he wouldn't like falling down here. Not one bit.

"Let all those old enough to swim gather 'round for a clan meeting!"
Okay, meeting time. He used the old call he grew up hearing; the words felt strange coming from his maw, but they were used nonetheless. Or so, he was testing them. See how they felt if it's something he could ever get used to - probably not - but who knows.

Silently he looked up to the sky as cats presumably began gathering below, sending silent wishes up to whatever was there, hoping his sister could hear him. If only she was here. Looking back down, he began taking note of who might and might not show up. You know, he said 'all those old enough to swim', but he wouldn't kits attending this meeting in all honesty. Long as they remained well-behaved.

Birdpaw and Briarpaw padded up to the Streamstone, both using each other as emotional crutches as they sat at the foot of the stone. Birdpaw blinked up at her mentor, the cat that had always been there. She wanted to be there for him, but she didn't know how. So she settled for trying to meet his eye and offer a small nod, unable to conjure up a smile because she was so burdened by the loss of Kestrelskies. Briarpaw was just trying to get through this meeting without murdering someone, with both her mother and brother not being seen lately she was seconds away from shattering and could only hope she could stay together long enough to get through this.

Ah, her first meeting! She couldn't be late! After the incident with Rainkit in the midst of building camp, she's been nervous about her mishap. Hopefully the young kit was feeling better after having been bitten by that rat... Her help certainly hadn't done him any favors. She pads into the new space cautiously, fur ever so fluffed until she notices Gingerfrost on a tall rock, far above her head... She gazes up at him from her spot below with awestruck eyes and decides to just take a seat right where she is in silence.

A meeting, huh? There were a lot of cats appearing from who knows where. Too many cats. She stays in the back, keeping an eye out for her brother. Wherever he was hiding. She wouldn't approach him-- their last interaction hadn't gone too well. But if he decided he wanted to approach her she surely wouldn't push him away. Not in a situation like this, where she felt alone and suffocated.

Briarpaw was glad that no one was talking to her. She didn't think she could speak without spitting or crying, but that didn't stop her from shooting a deadly glare at her sorry excuse of a mentor, teeth baring slightly but looking straight forward, jaw clenched to keep her current of snarls and howls to stay in. She wasn't even angry. Just another name on the list of cats that had failed her. That had lied.

Birdpaw, however was a tad more polite. Hollow eyes darted to her side as Pebblesplash sits beside her, muscles stiffening slightly. "Thanks." She mumbled softly, tears filling her eyes. Staring at the sky, praying the tears would go away (they didn't), she tried to keep the next words in but they spilled out. What did she have to lose anymore, anyways. "It's been weeks since it happened." The words didn't hold bitterness or contempt, they held brokenness that only a few cats could possess. The unspoken question, demand, hung heavy in the air. Where were you when I needed you most? But she knew the answer to that question. She just refused to accept it.

Turning her head as her sister sat down beside her, Birdpaw leaned into Blueberrypaw, almost collapsing at the comforting touch. She wanted comfort, but she knew it would break her. She wanted cats to talk to her about it, but she didn't know if she could talk about it. She wanted someone to hold her while she cried but the only cats she trusted enough to do it were either trying to lead a Clan or too young to bear the weight of her heartbreak. So she was trying to hold it herself.

It wasn't going well.

*-Larkwing-*
She/her | 17 moons | no purrks
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



It had been a tiring several days of moving, battle, battle again, moving again, and then rebuilding. Larkwing was exhausted and she was certain her clan could also feel the need to take a break from everything. As long as things were quiet for at least a moon or two, then maybe, just maybe she would feel that the chaos was due. Lately though? Lately it felt more like StarClan was laughing at them from on high, lounging around on stardust and forcing all of RiverClan to deal with their disgusting games.

For now, though, what mattered is that they had a new home, some solid place to defend once again and isn't Rugged Range or some other point in between. Her questioning of the stars was a matter for another time, however and for now she had a meeting to attend, a sense of normalcy to return to. Coming into the clearing, she began to scan the crowd for a specific cat she could stick close to... her apprentice, Mothpaw, the cat she had personally brought to the clan after finding the thing alone and then decided to be the one to take responsibility for her from that moment on. Mothpaw is a prickly thing and, though she'd competent enough, part of Lark still thought the young cat could benefit from some humility - a lesson she herself has had to learn recently.

Finding the apprentice in the back somewhere, sitting alone in a manner that appeared to be reminiscent of sulking. Unsure if it would be wise for her to approach right now, Larkwing instead decides to sit some paces away, just so she can keep an ear on her in case she was in need of some cheering up.

From her makeshift nest, Cherryswirl stirred with a large yawn. Stars, that had to be the longest sleep she'd had - not to mention the most comfortable. It had been moons since a good rest and she was feeling spry as a kit! Gingerfrost's call had woken her, ears swiveled in the Deputy-Leader's direction as she very slow began to stretch out of the moss. Tears stung at the corners of her eyes as another larger, and louder, yawn parted her maw. "Phew," She shook out her pelt, sending small bits of moss in every which way. Her eyes shone bright as she padded her way towards the new and improved Streamstone, settling down close to the front as she looked around. It was shaping up to feel like home, despite the ache from where she and most of the clan had grown up... There would be kits born in this camp who would know nothing but stories and trips to see old ruins. What a strange thing.

"Glad to see you up there, Gingerfrost [ Estelle ]!" She trilled happily, the ginger tabby's voice quite genuine. It had been... a good while since they'd all properly sat down to have a clan meeting - well, with no life threatening events happening. The flood. WindClan. Maybe, they would finally be granted some peace from the Starcats? Still, Cherryswirl would sit content below the ledge, glancing around continuously as she waited to see if company would join her.

Dunepaw sat quietly in the far back of camp his brown eye concentrated on the small trail of ants going by carrying small items he couldn’t quite make out. He groaned in annoyance. Ever since he lost his eye things have been somewhat different and difficult. He had honestly begun to despise cliffpaw for leaving him. The spot the blue cat once had has begun to be filled by newtberry. Speaking of the red and black marbled cat he didnt quite see them anywhere. Then big man ginger called a clan meeting. Holy stars! He scrambled to his paws nearly tripling over himself as he blandly crashed into cherryswirl. terribly sorry ma’am he meowed at his makeshift mentor.

“I’m sorry baby…”

PebbleSplash didn’t even try to stop her words from escaping her mouth… Guilt had overtaken her for days… weeks… The lady of the river wasn’t one to let the water from her eyes flow, but here she was… Crying… So many cats she had failed, neglected! Hell, she even neglected herself- It was humiliating, upsetting… Disgusting!

Who was she, if not the patrol loving, out going, RiverClan lion heart? Who was she if she kept letting everyone down? She was once a role model, adored by her clanmates-! And now she was just a pitiful loser that spent her days laying and hoping! You can’t reach your dreams if you don’t try, and Pebblesplash didn’t try…!

“I’m so sorry, baby… I really am… I wish I could’ve been there, I wish I was brave enough, smart enough, strong enough to be there… I wanted to be there, but I gave that up, to sit and feel sorry for myself…” PebbleSplash rambled, still sitting up straight as tears dripped down her cheeks and onto the very earth they stood on…

PebbleSplash didn’t want to do anything dramatic, for this meeting was to address loss and suffering of the clan, Not her own loss and suffering… If she could, she would curse at the very sky for breaking down those she loved… But it wasn’t just the fault of death, rather, she too was at fault…

Like she said, she was a loser… A pitiful loser… Pebblesplash once respected herself, but now, she was sure that she wouldn’t make it into starclan if she died… And she was okay with that… It was a worthy punishment for a sad excuse for a warrior like her… She was so amazing until she got a fancy title, and as much as she’d love to blame her errors on that, she knew it ultimately came down to her…

What would her loved ones, her missing friends think of her right now…? She could see her mother hissing at her… Her grandmother shaking her head… Her sister, LakeBriar, ignoring her very existence… FawnLight with a look of utter disgust… RoosterFlams slashing at her, absolutely throwing aside the opinions they shared just to cut her disgusting face open… PebbleSplash sniffs…

SnowLeap… Her love… Her first true love… Her first true heartbreak… Pebblesplash could remember the last time she saw him like it was yesterday… She had walked him to the border to wish him fair well, and a good luck with returning his lives to starclan… He had asked her on a date that night… A date that never happened… And then he too disappeared, leaving his amazing daughter on her own…

Birdpaw must’ve hated her, she could easily tell… Their friendship was so perfect, so beautiful before everything happened… And after all hell broke loose, it all came crumbling down… Every last good thing fell apart in front of her… PebbleSplash had a knack for ruining things… But today, today was the day she fixed if… Not for herself, but for the light of her life, Birdpaw…

“I don’t expect you to forgive me, for not being there… I don’t deserve your forgiveness… I…” Pebblesplash seemed to choke on her own words… “I’ve been waiting 3 moons for him to come home… 3 long moons for your father, dear… I know he isn’t coming home… But I keep thinking he might… I’ve become something I’ve always resented… I don’t like who I’ve become… And I fear I’m so far gone… And it’s my fault…” She didn’t know what she was saying, but she let her words flow…

“And I spent so much time trying to convince myself that it was some crazy dream, so I sat around, waiting to wake up… Waiting for him to wake me…” PebbleSplash sighs… “I want to fix this so badly, but I can’t… I want to bring him home, I want to make you happy, but I can’t… And I’ve been avoiding you because I feel like I’ve failed you… I’m so sorry for everything, birdie… I… I love you birdpaw… and I have done a terrible job showing it…”

PebbleSplashs head hangs low as she tries to keep her composure… She was an absolute mess…
——————
“Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go… I was counting on forever, now I'll never know… I can't even breathe… It's like I'm looking from a distance, Standing in the background… Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now, This can't be happening to me… This is just a dream…”

Willowwisp approaches the clearing, ready to hear what announcements are to be made. Perhaps Gingerfrost would announce the new deputy? Perhaps he'd address the absence of Stonepaw lately. Whatever it was about, the meeting meant that things were going back to the way they were in RiverClan and for that, the black tabby was thankful.

To be fair, Cherryswirl had seen Dunepaw coming her direction at quite some speed - in fact, it did look like he had been distracted. Her mind wracked through a few different ideas as she watched him move closer... and closer... Hm. That speed would be great to take advantage during battle training - OH! ONE EYE! SHE STILL NEEDED TO FIND A ONE EYED CAT! Was... Was anyone in the clan, other than Dune, sporting... one eye? Hmmmmmmm...... And as she thought that, the warrior's head had turned on a swivel to start scanning faces completely unaware that her faux apprentice was making a bee-line right for her big ginger self. Cherry nearly leapt out of her pelt as Dune just about crashed head first into her, her eyes wild and pelt standing on edge as she turned quickly to stare at him. She only held his gaze for a second before the warrior let out a hearty purr of laughter.

"Excited to be at the meeting?" She teased Dunepaw through breaths, holding a paw to her chest as she slowly settled herself down. Once she had managed to bite back most of her chuckles, she continued, "You scared the stars out of me! Where are you off to in such a hurry?" As she awaited her dear apprentice's answer, she leaned forward and began to gently rasp her tongue between his ears - much like an embarrassing queen would do to her rowdy, protesting kit.

Suddenly aware of the scars of her terrible past she remember her mom's famous saying. "It's ok to cry...both of you..." BlueberryPaw whispered looking at Bird then at BriarPaw. She looked at the ground, not daring to cry. The two next to her had gone through so much more than she had.

Sleekfur trotted over, hearing Gingerfrost’s words. He nodded in hello to Bluefang [ pumpkinbubble. ]as he passed the warrior. They had become pretty nice friends after their fight with the foxes. He saw Cherryswirl and decided to approach her. Suddenly he saw a cat barrel into her, knocking her aside. He sprang forward, hackles raised, claws sliding out automatically, ready to defend his friend from the shadowed attacker, albeit they were quite small, when he recognized them. “Oh- hey there Dunepaw…I thought you were someone else.” He started licking his fur to get it to lie flat again. How did he let himself get so spooked like that? Cursing himself under his breath, he greeted Cherryswirl, “Hey there. How have you been holding up? Sorry I didn’t talk to you much during our trip. I was preoccupied helping the rest of the clan.” He attempted to nuzzle her affectionately. “Good to see you’re alive and well.”

purrks: ultimate predator [INACTIVE]

A meeting, huh? There were a lot of cats appearing from who knows where. Too many cats. She stays in the back, keeping an eye out for her brother. Wherever he was hiding. She wouldn't approach him-- their last interaction hadn't gone too well. But if he decided he wanted to approach her she surely wouldn't push him away. Not in a situation like this, where she felt alone and suffocated.

Sleekfur trotted over, hearing Gingerfrost’s words. He nodded in hello to Bluefang [ pumpkinbubble. ]as he passed the warrior. They had become pretty nice friends after their fight with the foxes. He saw Cherryswirl and decided to approach her. Suddenly he saw a cat barrel into her, knocking her aside. He sprang forward, hackles raised, claws sliding out automatically, ready to defend his friend from the shadowed attacker, albeit they were quite small, when he recognized them. “Oh- hey there Dunepaw…I thought you were someone else.” He started licking his fur to get it to lie flat again. How did he let himself get so spooked like that? Cursing himself under his breath, he greeted Cherryswirl, “Hey there. How have you been holding up? Sorry I didn’t talk to you much during our trip. I was preoccupied helping the rest of the clan.” He attempted to nuzzle her affectionately. “Good to see you’re alive and well.”

Ripplekit slept soundly. She was dreaming of sneaking out of camp when a cat's yowl awoke her. She shot up, fur shooting everywhere. Then she realized she had been dreaming and that her leader was calling to her. "Yes Gingerbestie, sir!" she exclaimed, sitting up straight and forcing her tail to be still. After a couple seconds, she flopped down, exhausted from being so stiff (even if it was for a second). She ran over to the sleeping Badgerkit, and prodded her in hopes of waking her. "Pssst, Badgerbestie, time to wake up! Wake up wake up wake up!" Not being able to wait anymore, impatient as ever, she leaped up onto her bestie and started shaking her while being atop her.

Meadowkit shyly scanned the clearing for her siblings and mother, not giving up hope that Fogkit was still out there. "Featherkit? Mommymist? Fogkit? Where are you?" she called, voice trembling. She stepped cautiously towards the crowd. "Please, where are you?" Fear spread throughout her whole body, causing her to shudder.

As the sound of GingerFrost's voice called out to the clan , AspenTail found himself strolling over. Now that the camp was finished it was starting to feel like home... and now that it was feeling like home meant that the serious business could commence. Aspen never thought himself one to listen intently to meetings, but the thought of danger still loomed in his mind making the hairs on his scruff stand with anxiety. Now was the time to get serious.

A quick glance was all it took for him to notice CherrySwirl( Dust ) being tackled by her apprentice Dunepaw( Zelly ). With a quick laugh he moved up besides the crowd, giving a nudge of acknowledgement to Cherry and a friendly nod to Dunepaw and Sleekfur( Spooky sleek ). "Dunepaw just about sent you too starclan Cherry." He chuckled, sporting a playful grin obviously trying to make a joke. After a moment he glanced towards GingerFrost then slowly looked over to the group. "Is GingerFrost finally going to starcave?"

Emotions. Red alert. Emotions. Birdpaw's shattered heart was the equivalent of a raw, fresh wound, and right now emotions were the thorn that pierced her tentative scab, keeping her from revisiting the time when she laid paralyzed on the ground beside Kes's body. How the loss had felt like a physical pain, like her whole body was covered in invisible tears and bruises. Like she was bleeding but couldn't find the wound. Laying there until Kes was buried, until Briarpaw came, scooped her up, and took her to a makeshift nest where Birdpaw sobbed into the familiar ginger tabby's shoulder all night. Crying like the world had ended, because to Birdpaw, it had.

The term of endearment, the tears pouring down Pebblesplash's cheeks didn't help the matter. The guilty rambles, the way Pebblesplash talked down to herself, calling herself weak and dumb, had Birdpaw's mouth twisting as she bit her lip to keep it from trembling, to keep her face from collapsing into a sob. The ragdoll liked being comforted. She liked being held and told that everything was going to be okay. But not here. She didn't want to fall apart in front of everyone. Become a great big, blubbering mess. Crying for her dead sister and dead best friend and cry for her father and her four other parents, biological and two foster parents who had promised to care about her but then left. Crying for Mistypaw and Flickerpaw, two cats whom she adored but were now gone.

"Sometimes I wish Stormtalon had never sent me back." She blurted softly, the confession breaking the tip of her tongue, blue eyes so full of tears that they were similar to rainclouds, ready to burst. "Sometimes I wonder why he let me come back to life. Why he sent me back if all I'm ever going to do is suffer." Was she an ungrateful brat for admitting this? Admitting that she didn't know why Stormtalon sent her back just for her to watch almost everyone leave.

Keeping her voice low, she let out a soft, wet sigh, holding the dam together. This job became a lot harder the moment Pebblesplash mention her father. “I’ve been waiting 3 moons for him to come home… 3 long moons for your father, dear… I know he isn’t coming home..." Eyes found the sky again, and Birdpaw let out a shuddering sigh, body tense as she kept a tight hold on her sobs. "I want him to come home, too. I miss him s-so much." Her body swayed and she felt a firm paw rest on her back from the behind; Briarpaw, who reached out a paw to brace Birdpaw. "I never..." would've left you. The words died in her throat, she didn't know what was the right thing to do. Speak her mind without apology for once in her life or stay quiet because she was afraid of hurting someone's feelings.

"I needed you." She chose the latter, her terror of abandonment overriding her need to speak how she actually felt, instead the simple, broken words tumbled out.

Right now, Birdpaw saw many things. A cat who left her when she was at her weakest, a cat she trusted who had failed to be there for her, and a cat who was broken like her, a cat who didn't know what to do with her life. Birdpaw had loved Kestrelskies just like how Pebblesplash had loved Snowleap. Birdpaw knew how helpless it must be to not know where the cat you wanted to spend your life with was. How painful it was to be lost, not knowing if you could ever love again or even should ever love again. It was complicated and messy and while Birdpaw wasn't sure if she trusted Pebblesplash fully, she'd want someone to give her a second chance. One last chance. She would give Pebblesplash one last chance, because God, she desperately wanted to be able to have a mom.

"I love you too, Pebs. And I want to make this work." She whispered, a single tear rolling down her face as she wiped it, sniffling softly. God, life was just too hard nowadays. Birdpaw was just going to keep going until she was a warrior, and then she could get it figured out. But right now she wanted to fix her relationship with Pebs, and get through this meeting without losing it.

Turning to look at her younger sister, the young molly sniffled softly, leaning forward to press her nose gently into Blue's side and nuzzle her, ears filling with tears, not brave enough to respond for fear of her tears and quick breaths turning into soul shakings. Briarpaw lowered her own head in response to Blueberry's words, dull, cool gaze fixing on her paws.

A large sandy colored orange cat with one brown eye
Purrks : fast learner


The young sandy colored Tom felt his face heat up. The the rasping tongue against his head. He froze he had never received any kind of affection from anyone especially his parents. The last cat known to show him any happened to be his brother who died of an illness. The thought made his shudder before blinking back into reality. He was freaked out when sleekfur had his hackles raised at him. Then the warrior quickly apologized then yet another warrior came up to greet him. Unfortunately dunepaw didn’t know this cats name. How unfortunate.

It took a moment before he saw a familiar black and red marbled furred coat approach them. A bright smiles found its way to dunepaw as he got up to touch noses with the rather large warrior. this is newtberry, newtberry meet cherryswirl and sleekfur and uh… his voice trailed off as he tried to think of the cats name.

newtberry
Newtberry padded into camp his deep blue eye’s scanning over the gathered crowed who had formed below the rock. It took him a moment before he spotted dunepaw speaking to a few others. Amusement danced in his eyes as he padded over only to touch noses with the younger cat. He snorted in astonishment. He dipped his head in greeting towards the others.

Stacks on stacks on stacks of cats! Three was a crowd, Four was a party! Especially with Bluefang lurking behind Sleekfur. Cherryswirl purred happily as her friends and loved ones gathered round,

"Hello Sleekfur! Oh, I've been grand, I-" She paused as she eyed up Aspentail, sticking her tongue out towards her littermate. "I've been resting since we finished up the camp. Went to bed feeling like a creaky, grumpy elder, woke up feeling like kit on their naming day!" Cherryswirl gave a quiet, trilling purr as she accepted the friendly nuzzle from Sleekfur, before turning to stare at her brother. Stars... He was right. Dunepaw was getting to be much bigger than her. And when her apprentice didn't recognize him, she had to stifle her amused laughter,

"Oh! Dunepaw, Sleekfur, Bluefang, this is my littermate - Aspentail! Don't you think we look alike?" A playful smile crept across her features as she squared up next to Aspentail, giving each present feline a warm gaze. Truth be told, the only thing similar about the two would be their ginger coats and considering that Aspen didn't boast the same lovely full tabby coat like Cherry, it would be easy to dismiss any siblingship between the two. Though her gaze was not lost as an unfamiliar feline strolled over. Her whiskers twitched curiously as golden orbs scanned this now named Newtberry, though a smile feigned on her maw as she greeted them. There was a slight discomfort under her pelt - rather embarrassed that she didn't recognize their clanmate. Though, she took note of their friendliness - plus it was good to see Dunepaw smile!

"Welcome to our every-growing group, Newtberry! Doing well, I hope?"

Willowwisp approaches the clearing, ready to hear what announcements are to be made. Perhaps Gingerfrost would announce the new deputy? Perhaps he'd address the absence of Stonepaw lately. Whatever it was about, the meeting meant that things were going back to the way they were in RiverClan and for that, the black tabby was thankful. As she sits, blue grey eyes scan the cats around for Falconfeather, one of her closest friends, her confidante, her brother.

Maybe, finally, for once, this would be a normal meeting. No death, no sorrow, no declaring war on another clan because they killed our leader, none of that crap. He hoped with all his heart it would be just that, normal. Well, you could only pray so much. Upon hearing Gingerfrost's call for the majoriy of RiverClan to gathering amongst the new meeting place, still called the Streamstone, he strode coolly towards the group, catching sight of his found sister. Eyes instantly lighting up in his normal kit-like, playful mood, Falconfeather bounced over to Willowwisp's side, headbutting her shoulder in his normal way of greeting. "Heyya Wils." The silver feline purred loudly, grinning widely at the older molly. "Bet'cha hoping this meeting is, to a certain extent, normal. Don't worry, I'm hoping too." Truthfully, he hoped that this meeting would bring a couple things; one is that Gingerfrost would acknowledge Stonepaw's absence, and do something about that - two is that maybe finally they would get a damn deputy, ever since Beanstar died and Gingerfrost took his rightful place as leader, the whole clan had been going crazy over who who succeed. Eventually, you got tired of cats asking you "Hey, who do you think the next deputy is? HMM?" Yeah, pretty tiring.

His cool pale green gaze flitted up to Gingerfrost once more, momentarily locking eyes with the orange leader before breaking away and meeting Willowwisp's blue eyes. "Well, aren't you excited?"

Active purrks - none
Post : 78


Sunsetpaw yawned before the apprentice padded up to the streamstone for the clan meeting as they heard Gingerfrost's meeting calling yowl. The apprentice wondered how many things would be covered in this meeting. A lot has happened to riverclan before a clan meeting had a chance to be called. Things that might be addressed during this meeting. They stopped somewhere near where the rest or the clan had gathered, trying to find a place to sit down. They didn't want to sit too close to the rock, yet not too far; somewhere near the middle. Their eyes scanned the place before slowly starting to move forward again towards the gathering crowed, finding a place to sit down.

They moved past some cats that sat along the back of the crowed before reaching the place where that they saw earlier, sitting down. They had some thoughts..like..where had Stonepaw been? They haven't seen him lately. Hopefully he was just fine, nothing bad could've possibly happened to him, right? Perhaps Gingerstarfrost will maybe talk about that a bit in this meeting as well...it'll be interesting what could've happened to him, probably. Or maybe he's just tired, medicine cats get tired too, especially with all the work he had to do by himself, it's no suprise that he needed just a little break once in a while right? As long as no one has any bad injuries, it'll probably be fine to take a little rest once you're sure everyone's fine.

At least things were slowly returning back to normal and riverclan's experiencing some more peace and more chances to relax more after so long, especially now that it seems like the dens are fully completed. Kits could become apprentices, apprentices could become warriors and so on without possibly getting it delayed any further than it probably already was. And oh yea! The deputy! The apprentice wondered who might get that role. They knew riverclan had some warriors who would go perfectly in the role of deputy! So they were curious in who Ginger would pick! They would be happy with basically anyone, though the choices Gingerstar makes still had to be made carefully to ensure a great future for the clan.

A lot of cats probably wants that role, afterall a deputy is like...a co-comander or...a co-leader or something along this lines. No suprise there. Though Sunsetpaw guessed not everyone would fit the role too well. And they guessed leading a clan is no easy job, not really a job anyone would think or find easy to do.

"Yes, to an extent," Willowwisp said laughing as Falconfeather approached her and bunted into her side. With an affectionate lick to the top of his head and a rumbling purr in her chest. Excited was one word to describe her feelings, but another would be... she was nervous. She trusted enough that Gingerfrost wasn't about to be rash and declare war with any clan, despite the recent conflicts - at most he'd bring it up at the next gathering, if he ever decided to go to another one. What happened next was a mystery. "The power vacuum has existed long enough now, we need our leadership spots filled."

Practically speaking, the leadership should have been two strong already, but... Stonepaw was nowhere to be found lately, and the responsibility of the clan currently resided wholly on their leader's shoulders. it was a difficult burden to bare she was sure of that.

He flicked his ear at the lick from Wils, then settled comfortably beside her. "Exactly, the sooner we have our high ranks filled with cats who can actually stay alive or not go missing, then I think we'll finally be off to a good start finally." They really would. So many high ranks died within weeks or days of becoming that ranks, or they just lost interest and disappeared. If he was a high rank, you would see him out and about the clan, like what one should do. An amused snort came from the slender cat as he looked up at Gingerfrost again, narrowing his eyes. "Ginger seems, fidgety, or well more excited about something. That's a good sign,"

Monkey's Paw Purrk - Permanent Photophobia & Flock Together (T1)


After so long of traveling, here they were finally. In a new place to call home. Yet, Minkkit had never felt so... distanced. Her family was all gone. Shuffling over at the sound of Mr. Gingerfrost's call, Minkkit sat down in an empty spot, glancing sidelong at the cat she'd happened to sit beside. "Hello." She whispered faintly in greeting, turning her head to blink at Nightspark with wide, pale-blue eyes.

rushwater had to admit, it had been a while since he was in camp when a meeting was called. he was about ready to slip out of their new camp for another round of the territory, where in he would catch any prey he’d come across(they could always use more kill; especially with having to leave their old camp so soon ago), when gingerfrost’s voice rose above all others. rushwater’s paws nearly fumbled over eachother as his direction shifted from out to back towards the center of their new camp.

rushwater skirted the outside of the half-circle of gathered cats before finding a nice spot not too far away but with enough distance to not feel crowded. he curled his tail around himself and lifted his chin to the leader intently. he was as unmoving and cold as stone, ready to take in any information he could.

A relieved, grateful smile graced Minkkit's face as the bulk of a cat sitting beside her deemed it worth his time to actually indulge in her mindless chattering. Well, more of less mindless, that was. "My name is Minkkit!" She chirped up happily, with more vigor than before, now that she wasn't afraid she was outright going to be ignored. "What is...

"Hi Minnowpaw. I'm a bit fuzzy, had this nightmare. And a dream? Was the battle real? Ugh, StarClan. And obviously you can," he paused, "can obviously sit with me!".

Sadly smiling at Winterpaw, she sat down.
“Yeah. The battle was real.”
Her mind vividly remembered running into a corner, getting cornered, spraining her paw, reopening her neck wound, then getting told to run.
Her paw still twinged s little every time she walked, but it was never a bother, not compared to loosing Juniperpaw.
“At least we have a new home now. It’s over, everything will be fine.”

“Yeah… everything will be fine.” The grey apprentice breathed our slowly.

Here he stood. Deadpanning as he looked down at the clan. His mind wandered off into all that needed to be covered in this meeting – skies, he hadn’t done this since that Snowleap had been sick (and even then it had dragged on for too long). Clearly, hosting a meeting is an art. An art he does not master, yet. Someday, maybe. He needs to stay positive… Yup. Totally.

From up on the stone he briefly caught his apprentice’s eye, offering the soon-to-be warrior a light nod. It wouldn’t be long now; after so much had happened. But he couldn’t dwell on it for long, Cherryswirl’s call reminding him of where he stood at this very moment. Giving the warrior, too, the lightest of nods his expression then turns harder as he regards the entirety of those who had gathered.

Maybe it was a bit of a chilly wind, or maybe it was the height – either way, he felt a tingle in his paws looking down at so many eyes upon him. He wasn’t used to it, didn’t like it, but had to sit through it. He takes in a deep breath, reminding himself of what needs to be done. First things first.

He wasn’t daft, it’s been what? Over a moon since he stepped up? The clan by now, surely, would be wondering about who would be their deputy. Not to mention that they’re bound to have noticed Stonepaw’s absence – it’s time he addressed this. Deciding not to dawdle any longer, he spoke up.

“Most of you’ve probably noticed Stonepaw’s absence by now. He stepped down just before the move, haven’t seen him since.”
He let those words hang in the air for a brief moment before continuing.
“Means we not only need a deputy, but a new medicine cat as well.”
He let a brief grimace flash across his features.

“We need a reliable deputy, just as much as we need a reliable medicine cat. I’m not making these decisions lightly, whoever takes up these positions better fill them well.

With that in mind. Larkwing.”
His eyes locked on the feline.
“You’re young, but you’ve shown nothing but dedication and reliability so far. Be my deputy.”

He then swept his gaze over the clan, looking to find the next pair.
“You two; Falconfeather, Tansypaw. You took the initiative to help when necessary even before I said anything, that’s good. Keep doing that, but as RiverClan’s medicine cat and medicine cat apprentice.”
Tansypaw especially may have been rather new to the clan, but she’s shown a willingness to learn and help; he had to trust she’d do good.

With that said, Gingerfrost fell silent. He looked over the clan, awaiting whatever reaction they may have: excitement, disappointment, happiness, concerns. Frankly, it could be anything, he’d answer them before moving on. That is if the lot of three accepted these positions – there wasn’t much room for argument in what the leader had said, but he wasn’t going to force anyone into the position either. After all, they needed cats who would stay.

Just as Cherryswirl was about to continue on rambling to her gathered clanmates, Gingerfrost's voice called out across the clearing. So, she settled in, staring up at their soon to-be leader, listening intently.

Oh! "LARKWING! LARKWING!" She cheered above the crowd happily, turning to gaze over at the younger warrior. Larkwing had been terrific in helping her finish up the medicine den - so Cherryswirl purred, quite pleased by Gingerfrost's decision. And then once again, with Falconfeather and wow! Tansypaw too?!

"FALCONFEATHER! TANSYPAW! FALCONFEATHER! TANSYPAW!" Her eyes scanned the clearing to quickly land on either one of them as she cheered their names. Finally! RiverClan would be able to fall back into some sense of normalcy... Thank the stars! Cherry would keep them in mind for later, she'd like to congratulate them privately! The ginger warrior nodded her head with agreement once more, waiting to see if Gingerfrost would conclude the meeting.

So it was finally time for some authority, huh? It was nice. Seeing all the cats gather beneath the tall stone, all staring up expectantly. There was a certain kind of peace about it. A peace that made her uneasy. Seated amongst them there was that burning feeling of unfamiliarity. An outsider still learning the ways of a group that had been living this way their entire lives. Of course she knows she most likely wasn't the only outsider to join Riverclan but sometimes she couldn't help but feel alone. As if she were still on the outside looking in from a bird's eye view, watching all the cats sit with their friends and family while she sat entirely alone.

Letting out a silent sigh, she's thankful that Gingerfrost begins to speak. His words distract her from swimming thoughts and she does her best to keep her chin raised and eyes focused on her new leader calling his first meeting. A name she doesn't recognize is mentioned and she can't help but tilt her head, eyes blinking curiously. How could a cat just go missing? Did he die? Get catnapped? Anything was possible. The new deputy is called and she glances back over her shoulder to place a name to a face. Larkwing. She looked young, that was for sure. But she looked hardened. Responsible. If she had been handpicked by the leader then she definitely had to be the right choice. A small smile finds it's way onto her face as she gazes upon the molly...

Until her name is called.

The smile drops and her head whips back around to gaze up at the tom. Took initiative? She guesses she did, but in the end she messed it up. She hardly deserved praise for that. Chocolate hues disappear behind her eyelids as she mulls over her mistake but the comfort of darkness doesn't last long. They fly back open in disbelief.

'Keep doing that, but as RiverClan’s medicine cat and medicine cat apprentice.'

Did... Did she hear that right? There was no way. Absolutely no way a cat like her deserved such a title. Such an honor. She had messed up! Slathered a kit into wailing even louder! Jaw hanging open, the cheering and calls of names around her become a dull buzz in her ears as she processes. Ever so desperate to find a place for herself but reluctant to take it. Reluctant to accept the opportunity. Why was she feeling such doubt? Such dread? Rising to her paws, wide eyes scan the leader's for some kind of explanation and when nothing comes but his silence and the calls of her clan mates, she speaks up against the noise.

"T-There has to be some kind of mistake! Me?!" Surely there were better fits for the job. She had just gotten here! No one even knew her name! A coward, she ran away from others like they were ghosts. Expression desperate for some kind of validation, she calls out to him again. "Are you really sure about this?"

Giving a silent sigh he looked to Weepingkit. Now that looks like a future leader right there. The kits ears were perked, his gaze narrowed and flicking secrelty over his clanmates without them taking any notice of him.

*-Larkwing-*
She/her | 17 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Listening attentively as Gingerfrost spoke while also keeping one ear swiveled in the direction of her apprentice, casually eavesdropping out of some mixture of curiosity and responsibility for the young molly, Larkwing couldn't help the anticipation in her gut. But as the leader turned to the topic of the new clan leadership, she instead turned her full attention back to the Streamstone, trying to ignore that feeling. She hoped, with Stonepaw lost, the new medics will be up to the task, yet she couldn't help wondering how they would learn. Would StarClan teach them? Whoever they would be, their knowledge of herbs had to be significantly less than every other medic in the forest, so would they not both be apprentices in this regard?

It's as she's mulling this over that, that some part of her registers her name being called, and she can only blink upon hearing that. Her? There had to be some mistake, right? She's still so young, not even two full season cycles yet. Sure, she'd shouldered some responsabilities lately, taking the initiative to go on a material gathering patrol when they made it to the new camp, and helping with the medic's den once they got here but... she'd also been the one to report ThunderClan at Cattail Pond which led to Beansprout's death and... and maybe the clan would have doubts about someone so young with still so much to experience in this position.

If she accepted, she would outrank cats older than her who, in her opinion, deserved the rank more and would be more capable than she could ever be. She's a warrior, yes, but she's still learning. There are so many life experiences she doesn't have and doesn't know how to navigate. But... if she doesn't accept the role, will the next cat Gingerfrost chooses be a cat like beansprout? A liar, who would go so far as to put words in StarClan's mouth in order to retain power, who took Gingerfrost's rightful place before his time to do so? Would her clan, her family, think less of her? Would they say she must have cheated her way into this position because there was no way a leader would pick such a new warrior to be his second in command? The pressure was already starting to crush her.

She sat, stunned and unsure, for long enough that the names of the Medics were called (Falconfeather and Tansypaw), and some of the clan had already begun cheering their names - the tortoiseshell noted Cherryswirl in particular to be among the loudest. She had her reservations, yes, but she could do this, right? There were others more experienced, sure, but Gingerfrost had chosen her, and that had to count for something. Besides, there was no rule saying she could not get help, that she couldn't ask for advice or other opinions if she really felt she needed them.

Expression set, determined, trying to ignore her own reservations or spiraling thoughts about the rest of RiverClan's opinion, Larkwing nodded, her heart pounding. "I accept," she meowed to her leader, to her clan, "I will do my best to serve you, as well as RiverClan, as their new deputy for as long as I am able."

Hawksun gave a small but respectful dip of his fluffy brown head to Larkwing. Hawksun believed that he should have gotten the position. But Larkwing was a younger, fit warrior. They would do well. "Now thats a future warrior the other clans need to worry about." He purred softly to himself as he watched Weepingkit glare around the clearing, his ears pricked as he had a soft and polite manner.

Sleekfur smiled at the great news. Finally. Finally they would have a deputy. Finally they would have a medicine cat and a medicine cat apprentice. Finally, after such a long period of being weak, unstable, criticized by all the other clans, they would be unified and strong once more. He joined in on the cheering, yowling loudly and proudly. Such a moment of good fortune was not to be wasted. His analytical mind knew that this period of happiness wouldn't last long, and it would be beneficial to the clan if they enjoyed it. He quickly looked aside to double check that Cherryswirl was doing fine.

Ripplekit ran in circles, chasing her tail. She squealed loudly in excitement. Yes, yes, she was about to catch it...oof. She had tripped over her paws, grunting as she collided with the ground. She huffed in exasperation as her puffy breath swirled around her while she got back up. "This is boring. I'm bored. Let's do something fun, bestie," she said to her best friend, Badgerkit. She playfully tapped her on the head with a front paw. "Hey, Mr. Gingerbestie? Your meeting is boring. How about we do something else, something more fun?" she suggested, calling out. She had no clue as to how rude and disruptive she was being.

Alright, he knew what was coming next. Ginger would finish his speech about how strong RiverClan needed to be, and how he hoped these new high ranks lived up to the challenge, yeah yeah he had heard it before when Gingerfrost himself was made deputy. It wasn't like Falconfeather didn't care about this, it was just that it was repeated over and over and over, enough until he felt his ears would fall off. Of course he wished the same, but the whole clan and their momma didn't have to repeat it! Though as Gingerfrost neared his big announcement, the slender tom busied himself into grooming his tail, but still listened. Hearing ginger start his normal lecture about how they would succeed now and be better caused Falcon to further himself into his grooming. He wasn't all that indulged in his self grooming to not hear his name being called as the new medic.

Oh cool medic—WAIT WAIT WAIT MEDIC?! Hold on just a second there buddy where in the good grief did Gingerfrost get that great bright idea? Certainly he was not the cat for the job, he just knew he wasn't and also was certain that Wils beside him would make the better medicine cat. Hell, he didn't have lick of herb knowledge, asides from the basics, but he still wasn't all that good! Green eyes wide with disbelief as he froze midlick, staring up locking gazes with the ginger tabby that stood high and might atop of the "Streamstone". So many thoughts ran through his head, not really noticing what else the tabby had said. Him, medic? Please he must be dreaming. No way in hell would he had been chosen. It seemed near damn impossible in his puny little goober brain, but yes, yes he was. Falconfeather was RiverClan's new Medicine Cat. And Tansypaw was his apprentice. And Larkwing was the new Deputy.

Before he had a chance to even speak, the uproar of the clan's cheering drowned out his words, causing him to convert to silence and just listen. His name rippled loudly throughout his gathered clanmates. His eyes shone vividly with emotion, a rare thing you would see on the cool-demeanored tom. It just seemed so,, unreal. Like a dream. It was an out-of-body experience, and he enjoyed every heartbeat of it. As much as he would like to break down and cry and weep because of the overwhelming joy and happiness he felt, he had to keep it together. Stars, RiverClan couldn't be seeing their Medicine Cat breakdown over something like this, soon (as much as he rather not think about) he would be seeing death again, and broken limbs, and sicking cats. He grimaced at the thought, but the joy of being important to the clan overrode that very quickly.

As the clan's cheering finally died down, and both Tansypaw and Larkwing both spoken, Falconfeather rose up and gazed coolly at his leader, hoping to hide every bit of excitement and kit-like joy he felt. He needed to look professional, and didn't need to show out in front of the whole clan. Pale green hues flickered lightly behind him to catch the approving gaze of his sisters, he cleared his throat and began to speak. "As much as I dissapprove of your choice Gingerfrost, as much as I see better options for you beside me, I am happy you made your choice," Truly he was, and he would not make Gingerfrost second guess his decision. "I accept. For as long as StarClan grants me, I'll serve this clan proud and true as their medicine cat."

Post : 82


Stonepaw...stepped down...? As long as he's alright, then Sunsetpaw doesn't see anything as a problem. They get it, Stonepaw was tired and there was a lot of things he needed to do and it probably stressed him out. They didn't mind at all, albeit a little sad about it. So would that mead Riverclan is getting a new medicine cat as well? It make sense. Whoever it'll be. Same goes for deputy. As Gingerfrost started to announce, Sunsetpaw kept their ears open for who'll fill the deputy roll. They were curious of it. Same goes for medicine cat. They wanted to know who gets the roll; they hoped whoever does'll fill that role will be dedicated and will try their best at it. Of course, cats get tired, and of course breaks will probably be allowed from time to time though even if so this is still an important role.

Gingerfrost announced the new deputy, who'll be Larkwing. Sunsetpaw would've thought Pebblesplash would get the role but they were still happy about it and didn't dissaprove at all! Larkwing..they didn't know the cat quite well though they didn't have any doubt that she'll fulfill the role well! Their eyes searched the crowd for the newly appointed deputy, wondering where they were. They herd Larkwing accept the position, finally finding the older cat amongst the crowd. "I'm sure you'd be a great deputy or riverclan, Larkwing!" they said. Gingerfrost seems like the cat who wouldn't mess around with these positions either

Next, the new medicine cat..of wait actually...riverclan wonkt be having just a medicine cat, but also a medicine cat and medicine cat apprentice. That sounds like a great idea and it made sense, so the two could learn and grow and medicine cats right off the bat! The two cats receiving these positions were...

Falconfeather and Tansypaw. They knew about Falconfeather, though they didn't really know Tansypaw. Either way, they were still happy for the two. Which made them remember about what they were going to say to Stonepaw...about herbs..maybe after this meeting would be their chance to do so! Provided they don't have to do anything that would make it harder for Sunsetpaw to talk to them or such things. The information could possibly help them in the long run so they'll try to remind themselves in their head. "Congrats on your new role! Wish you the bestM" they said to Falconfeather, finding the cat wasn't as hard as finding Larkwing probably because they sat closer to Falcon than to Lark. Then their eyes looked around the crowed again, this time searching for the newly appointed medicine cat apprentice...erm..oh! There! "And you too! Congratulations as well, Tansypaw! " they said, giving both cats a smile as they congratulated them both

*-Willowwisp-*
she/her || 28moons || Herbal Knowledge T1
A black stripped tabby with blue/grey eyes and an oriental build. She wears a lavender sprig on her ear.



As the new clan high ranks were announced, Willowwisp glanced around to find who would be deputy: Larkwing. Spotting the admittedly quite young molly somewhere in the back of the crowd, Willow couldn't help but feel some reservations, though she was certain she'd fill the roll well enough, the older tabby expected there to be a noticeable learning curve. It was when the medics are announced that she blinked her eyes open in shocked surprise. Falconfeather!? Her best friend, her brother, the new medic!! Willowwisp could barely conceal her elated smile as Falconfeather accepted the role and, once he was done speaking, bunted her head against his shoulder affectionately.

"Falcon!" She cheered, thrilled, "congratulations!! I'm sure you'll be wonderful!" The black tabby said with a purr.

Congratulating them sadly, he thought, Now I'll never be a medicine cat.

He then looked at his adopted sister. "You probably don't want to know, okay? It's just," yet again he paused, letting out a quiet yelp, "It involves death."

-Minnowpaw-
Death?

Minnowpaw stood on shaky legs, she could feel blood around her neck, but she didn’t care.
“Juniperpaw…” was all she managed before she collapsed besides her friend.
Juniperpaw stayed still. “I’ll miss you.” She whispered.
“What? No you’re not dying.”
Too late.
“No. No. You’re not dead.”
No response.
“Dawnstep! Help!”

The announcements pulled her back, her mouth opened to congratulate them but nothing came out. Minnowpaw shook herself.
“I think I can handle death.”
I’ve seen it first hand

He made his announcement, eyes scanning the clearing below. Standing up on the stone, he had no problem seeing the various expressions on the clan’s face – though, most of it seemed to be positive. Before any of them could say a thing, some had already started chanting their names (somehow, it reminded him of when he became deputy. The same thing happened that time). In that regard, not much had changed. Until his eyes fell on Tansypaw.

Dark green gaze scrutinised her somewhat... Panicked expression, barely hearing what she was saying over the noise. He realised, much to his annoyance, that he didn’t like this doubt. It was normal, he should know, Tansypaw was still rather new. Even so, he wanted to believe his decision wasn’t wrong.
“There’s no mistake, I’m sure. You acted when the clan needed you, and I trust you’ll keep doing that.”

Sure there was a good chance the herbs hadn’t been the correct ones, but he’d been the one to say which ones to get – really, the fault came to him. In the face of that she’d only been trying to help, something that was to be appreciated.
“We can talk about this further after the meeting if you want.”

He heard Larkwing speak up; the young molly looked as bewildered as anyone, but the words coming from her mouth were filled with confidence – at least, from what he could tell. His mouth closed and eyes turned towards the grey pelt, dark green eyes trained on her as she made the declaration to help RiverClan for as long as possible. Good, now here’s to hoping she’ll stick to her words. Giving Larkwing a deep nod, eyes briefly closing, he then found himself interrupted by…

...A kit. A kit (presumably) screaming up to him that the meeting was boring. Gingerfrost deadpanned, lips pressing into a thin line as he regarded the kit with a blank expression.
“Then go play in the nursery.”
He finally replied with a flick of his tail, opting not to give the kit much more attention than that as the third and last new rank spoke up. Falconfeather.

Urk. Disapprove. Nope, he did not like that word. Oh how he wanted to tell him to shut his maw and give those better options if he really thought so, barely being able to keep back a deep sigh, but he didn’t. Because Falconfeather accepted nonetheless, and not wanting to make a show, the ginger tabby simply gave the new medicine cat a deep nod as well. At least their ranks were full now.

“Larkwing, Falconfeather, Tansypaw!”

He briefly joined in with the chanting.
...Now for the next part of the meeting.
Gingerfrost held back another deep sigh, deeper than the previous one, instead huffing out a big breath of air. He wasn’t sure how the clan would react to this, but alas, he’d rather tell the truth than withhold it again.

“With that done…”
He briefly trailed off, waiting for the clan to settle down before continuing.
“I’ve gone to the Starcave.”
As most ought to already be aware of.
“However StarClan did not grant me nine lives, nor a name. They want me to work for them – earn them. Not blatantly give them out.”
At least not to another potential disappointment, but he didn’t specify.

“Though I’m not entirely without lives, either. Since my travel to the Starcave, I’ve been given one life.”
Well, an additional one to the one he was currently living. But they could understand.
“But that barely matters. Lives don’t make a leader, and I intend on you to understand that.”
He paused, letting the information sink in.
“Despite these… Circumstances. I’ll still be going by Gingerstar, if anything to keep up appearances among the other clans. They do not need to know about this, at least not now. It’s none of their business and I’d rather keep it that way. Understood?”

"Thanks Wils," He purred back, settling back down beside his sister once he finished speaking. Pale eyes lingered back up to Gingerfrost as he continued on with the meeting, the next part making the newly named medicine cat's brow furrow deeply. Okay he had gone to the Starcave like every other leader, but what had been more concerning was the fact StarClan had rejected him. "What? They can do that?" Falcon didn't mean to speak aloud but it jumped out of him loudly before he could stop himself. Never in his two full season cycles had he even heard of such, maybe that was why Beanstar was such an easy kill for Bumblestar at the Cattail Pond battle. Made sense, but it irked him on why StarClan had did such.

Part of him wanted to march up to the Starcave right now and give those dead cats a piece of his mind, but he knew it wouldn't do any good. Falconfeather looked intently on at Gingerfrost, or well.. maybe it was Gingerstar now, and narrowed his eyes. He thought maybe the other medicine cats might have an answer to this, but sighed when the ginger tabby spoke again, saying they would need to not tell the others. So much for trying to figure out why.

*-Larkwing-*
She/her | 17 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Gingerstar's words basically confirmed her suspicions about StarClan. So, their ancestors were mad at them. It came as no surprise, really, given the state of... well, everything lately. But at least Gingerstar was being honest with the clan. She didn't envy being in the position he had been placed in with Beansprout and was eternally grateful he didn't put that secret on her shoulders. She didn't doubt there'd be other secrets, though. Not right now, but eventually, she'd likely be in a position where she was withholding information from RiverClan at her leader's request. Would she be able to? No, it wasn't a matter of whether she thought herself able or not, the simple fact of the matter was that she wouldn't have a choice in keeping those secrets, she would just have to keep them.

Currently, her leader had one extra life according to his words, putting him at a grand total of two. It wasn't a lot, heck, it wasn't even enough to have any wiggle room should something unthinkable happen. But it was something. At least StarClan was not entirely unwilling to grant him his lives. But what conditions would the ancient cats of the sky put him and the clan through in order to test if he'd earned a new one? Would they simply wait until he had lost his one extra life and then replace it as a consolation prize until he'd gone through all nine? Larkwing shuddered at that morbid thought. What a cruel paw to be dealt if that were the case.

For now, though, that was that and the meeting was adjourned. It still felt unreal, like she was in some sort of dream. Larkwing had never been the ambitious sort, she'd never had aspirations of being deputy, but here she was, with this new position of power that scared her more than anything. Nodding to the orange tabby who stood upon the Streamstone, acknowledging that this information was not to be shared (though she hoped that no one in the clan was mouse-brained enough to share such a thing even if Gingerstar hadn't specified).

Riverclan queen

Mistfire focused intently on the meeting sort of ignoring her kits but still keeping an eye on them so they wouldn't get in trouble as they played, soft fur rippling in the cold autumn breeze she just wanted to get this meeting over and her kits into bed but it would be important to listen.

Oh and now the new high ranks...Larkwing? So the young warrior would be deputy...hmm and interesting choice though inexperienced seemed like a responsible cat and she hoped that she would live up to being in such an important role.

Now the medicine cats Falconfeather and Tansypaw...young as well...but hopefully reliable and worthy the grey queen wouldn't doubt Gingerfro- ah Gingerstar rather but she was concerned about the stableness of the clan and her worries grew by what her leader said next.

"W-What...did he just say...?"she thought shocked at the ginger tom's words, he only had two lives...a shiver of fear went down her spine at the realisation...Starclan...wanted him to earn them...WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO DESERVE THIS?! Anger surged through her wiping away her shock as she dug her claws hard into the ground before her brief and silent outburst ended and transformed into sorrow instead.

Glancing down at her kits again she saw they had fallen asleep, heartbreak striked her...her kits...she had lost so much...how could she know they would be safe? Giving a small nod at Gingerstar's words her attention didn't stay on him for long.

Slowly Mistfire reached down and gently grabbed Meadowkit by the scruff and tried placing her on her back before reaching for Featherkit and carefully holding her in her jaws and silently started padding off to the nursery casting a single solem look over her shoulder before moving her warm amber gaze back to the entrance of the nursery again.

Why was she so against his decision? If he made it, he believed in it, and so should she. Stare hardening, she holds his gaze as he joins in on the chanting and allows herself a small smile. She offers him a nod of understanding and takes a seat once more, chocolate hues staring at her paws. Paws excitedly clawing into the dirt. Medicine cat apprentice... Gingerfrost believed in her. Someone believed in her! If it was fate that led her here, led her to this point in time... Who was she to question it? Tansypaw, medicine cat apprentice... What a cool title... It sounded important. It sounded... Good. Like she belonged here. Like she was meant to be here!

And then he continues. Continues on about lives and Starclan and whatnot. She was still so new. So unfamiliar with their ways. She had heard the name 'Starclan' a few times in her moon with the clan but no one had gone out of their way to explain. From what she could tell by his explanation and the murmurs around her, this information wasn't exactly good. Good or not they would prevail. She was sure of it. And she would do her best to make sure of that, at Falconfeather's side!

Speaking up amongst the chatter, the young cat speaks to her leader, eyes full of wonder and determination.

"Heard loud and clear, Gingerstar!" She meows with conviction. "If you are to earn your name then I will do what I can to help you do so! T-Thank you for putting your faith in me!"

Well, this is... Not what he expected. Not at all. Sure, there were some shocked faces but the ginger tabby expected a lot more opposition. From this, it just seemed like they didn't care. Was he supposed to take that as a good sign, or a bad one? (Were they plotting his downfall?) ...Only one way to find out. Wait. The day he'll wake up with claws to his throat is the day he'll know they've been planning his death all along (how fun).

Anyhow, this at least means the difficult part is over without too much trouble. He could move on to more important things than lives and all that. What came next, anyway? Speaking of which, why were some cats already leaving?? Children, all of them, really. Can't even sit through one meeting - must not be used to it anymore. But moving on;
"This meeting isn't over."
He briefly reminded them.

"With that said; our fight against WindClan. You all did good, no kits were harmed. Keep that up. That said, we didn't finish without our losses Kestrelpaw - Kestrelskies. She lost her life during the fight, but not without earning her warrior name. We've also lost Flamebriar. Both were buried in Sleepy Thicket.

Speaking of WindClan, although subtle, I've recently found WindClan scent across the border. Furthermore, as if taking Cattail Pond wasn't enough, ThunderClan scent - a strong bunch - has also been found across the border, well into our territory. I don't know what they're thinking, so caution is advised on both fronts, especially ThunderClan. And if you see anyone within our territory again, don't hesitate to remind them where the border is."

Gingerfrost - or rather, Gingerstar, now - grimaced a little at the news, not exactly pleased with it. He doubted WindClan as a whole had anything to do - it smelled more like a singular case. But ThunderClan... Seeing their history with RiverClan, who knows what they could be planning.
"With that said, Rugged Range is now part of RiverClan territory."
Their new camp was quite near it, after all.

"In further news, Blazekit was found dead, likely at the paws of a rogue. This may not be the only instance of rogue attacks, so keep your guards up - we don't need any more losses."
That said and done, he briefly waited, looking for any reactions from his clanmates before moving on. He didn't want to spend too much time on this when there were more things to be announced.

"In some better news; Minkkit, step up. It's time for your ceremony."

Cherryswirl hadn't really moved at all from her spot - still seeming quite surprised at the fact that StarClan had AGAIN refused to give the leader a full nine lives. So... What herself and Willowwisp had been gossiping about nearly a moon ago at the springs had seemed to be true. StarClan's anger seemed misplaced on the full clan itself. Perhaps... a mistake had been made. The ginger molly lifted a muddled gaze above the crowd of cats, her golden eyes landing - after a few moments of searching - on Willow's familiar pelt. Though, she only glanced for a few seconds, before settling back down to listen to the rest of Gingerfrost's briefing. As some cats had begun shuffling away without the dismissal, Cherryswirl couldn't help but chortle - Geez, the kits she understood, they had the attention spans of a trout... but the warriors? Maybe they had been just as worried as her and needed to go think? Honestly, It was... going to take a little bit to get used to his new 'Star' honorific. As Gingerstar mentioned Minkkit's name - one she had actually been familiar with from the move - Cherry interjected quickly, her gaze appearing almost worried for the first time in a while,

"Ginger..Star-" She started slowly, her voice raised, "What will we do if we end up in another battle with WindClan.... Or even ThunderClan? Certainly, the other leaders have their lives gifted from StarClan. I don't want to see you bleeding out your only life on the battle-field-" She stopped for a moment, biting back a more cruel jab at the Starcats. Guilt rippled across her pelt for even thinking such a thing, "-err.. with an unfair advantage! What can we do to help you..? To make sure StarClan grants you all your lives?" Her voice softened, "We can't lose another leader so soon." Golden eyes searched the faces of her fellow clanmates, urging them to speak up in agreement, with ideas, or anything really. Though her gaze finally settled back onto the perched leader.

|~ Sunsetpaw - they/them ~|
Active purrks - none
Post : 85

Well, Sunsetpaw has had a thought about that before...about Gingerfrost not getting any lives from Starclan. Afterall, Beansprout didn't get any lives probably because his leadership wasn't genuine so it's maybe just that starclan doesn't trust Gingerfrost with any lives. At least Gingerfrost still got one life. Sunsetpaw agreed to what Gingerfroststar said. Of course! Lives don't make a leader, it's what the cat does that makes that cat a leader. Though still, leaders are going to have to possibly lead their clan in battle(as much as Sunsetpaw hate battles and fights) most of the time and such so it still sucked. They knew starclan can deny lives considering Beansprout but it was still quite suprising about Gingerstar's case considering he actually earned his leadership spot. They are definately mad at Beansprout's actions.

Sunsetpaw looked around; it was a bit confusing why some cats decided to leave the meeting already considering Gingerstar hasn't said it's over yet. Odd, they haven't seen things like this happen. But Sunsetpaw just sat still there, not wanting to leave the meeting yet. Soon, Gingerstar confirmed this meeting wasn't over yet, probably making some cats go back to their seats. They had a bit of guilt about the battle with windclan, they didn't do even a single thing. Neither do they know how to fight nor want to. They really, really could've help. Even one of their clanmates died in the fight...Kestrelpaw...Kestrelskies...they didn't know the cat very well though it's still saddening to hear the news. And Falmebriar too; making the death count up to two cats. They had a frown on their face, looking at the ground next to where they sat. Wherever these two are right now, Sunsetpaw could only hope they're both happy and living a great life among the stars.

Their attention was slowly being dragged back as Gingerstar announced that there was some windclan scent on the border. What was windclan doing there? Or maybe it was only one cat crossing the border by themselves without the windclan leader having anything to do with it. They wouldn't know for sure. Different from the thunderclan scent at the territory though probably. From what it sounds like, there was a lot of thunderclanners there. What was thunderclan doing there? Did they want to attack riverclan? They already took the pond, what more would they want?
Rugged range is now part of the territory. Maybe thunderclan mistook it for just a peice of land? That's possible. But it was nice knowing the range is now part of riverclan either way.

Listening to what Cherryswirl just said...a thought floated it's way into the apprentice's head. Gingerstar only has one life then the clan risked losing another leader early and then if the clan loses another leader early, The next leader probably won't get any lives because starclan doesn't trust them with lives because Gingerstar died too soon, and then it'll be possibly the same pattern again and again for...forever...and none of the riverclan leaders will ever get any lives...what if that happens..? No no no...Sunsetpaw shouldn't be thinking too negatively..but...what if that happens?? Then everyone would think riverclan is weak because our leaders keep dying early and then- okay okay it's fine, it'll be fine! They can't be thinking about these things, nothing bad has happened in Gingerstar's leadership yet. Things will end up just fine

Due to that thought, they nearly missed the fact that Blazekit was found dead. Killed by a rogue. They..they didn't see Blazekit die..nor the rogue..how did they miss that..? Where did Blazekit die? The kit couldn't have died out in the territory or..even if Blazekit was in the territory, he or she or something..Sunsetpaw doesn't really know Blazekit's pronouns at all, so they didn't want to assume anything...wouldn't have died to far off...right? There was a lot of bad news in the meeting..which..is concerning....

At last though, some better news.; Minkkit is becoming Minkpaw, an apprentice! Sunsetpaw wondered who she'll get as a mentor. Hopefully a nice and great mentor. If Minkkit is an apprentice, then she'll move to the apprentice's den and maybe Sunsetpaw could possibly make a new friend, that'll be fun! Sunsetpaw hasn't gotten any new friends lately so a new friend would be nice! Speaking of friends, they haven't talked to Winterpaw in quite some time; wonder how he's doing. Hopefully great.

Nightspark didn't spoke as he listened the meeting, he wasn't moving, but he was preoccupied... Gingerstar didn't receive her nine lives... Like Beansprout did... He didn't knew if it was a bad sign or not, for him it was bad, he looked in the sky, praying silently for no more problems to his clan...


He reported his attention when the battle was mentionned, he couldn't retain a slight look of sadness, in addition of Kestrelskies they had lost a warrior... Damn it... It was disaster after disaster... He shook his head, retrieving a neutral expression, which was hard, but he instantly lost it as apparently both WindClan and ThunderClan had crossed the borders, and that a kit was lost to a rogue, he couldn't hold back and growled "The intruders must be purged, they know they shouldn't get on our territory, and they keep on doing it. They must be killed without mercy. And the bodies of who were killed should be left to the worms and the scavengers. That will show that RiverClan isn't weak like they probably think."


He stopped, realizing that he had let out his anger a bit too loud, he looked down and said "I am sorry Gingerstar. I have let my anger overwhelm me. It won't happen again."

Monkey's Paw Purrk - Permanent Photophobia & Flock Together (T1)


Minkkit had sat mostly silent next to Nightspark as the meeting went on. Only having piped up once with a small 'Good' when the Lionheart asked after her welfare. Other than that, she didn't speak, just sat in her spot, fluffy tail wrapped around her paws, wondering where Raccoonpelt and Flintkit had gone off to. Had they finally gotten enough of her? Had wanted to be rid of her? Was she too much to take care of?

Swallowing roughly, the little she-kit eased her way up to the front of the crowd when Gingerstar called her over. She'd been born the runt of her litter, small and fragile and breakable. It was ironic that she now sat up here all alone, with none of her siblings or family at her side. Briefly, she tore her gaze from the ginger leader to offer Willowkit a faint, hopeful smile at the other female's encouraging words.

While waiting for the young kit to step up, it seemed some of his clanmates had decided to speak. Most notably, two of them. His eyes turned to Cherryswirl first, listening to the feline’s concerns with a waving tail. And while he wasn’t planning on bleeding out on the battlefield any time soon, her concerns – he supposed – were quite valid. But help him? That he hadn’t thought about up until now. How could they help him? Frankly, he didn’t see how they could help him earn his lives – especially not since earning them was far from a concern of his – but he couldn’t leave her query unanswered either.
“Then we fight. Advantage or not, we stand our ground and keep pushing forth.
...I don’t know how you’d be able to help other than by keeping yourselves safe and alive, by defending this clan. It’s your home, isn’t it? Then treat is as such. What matters is that we keep standing, not some lives granted by the starcats.”

He wasn’t certain how this would be received; as much as he didn’t mind this ‘unfair advantage’ the other leaders had, the clan… Might see it differently. But no matter, he said what he said, turning his attention on Nightspark as the lionheart spoke up, voice booming across the clearing. Briefly Gingerstar grimaced, but wiped the expression off his face just as fast.
“It’s fine.”
He never said how to remind the trespassers of where the border is, anyway. If they got killed by an angry clanner… Anyway, they need to show the other clans they’re not to be walked over and trifled with.

By this time, Minkkit had stepped up. Alone and small, it wasn’t the happiest sight – but a ceremony all the same. He locked his green eyes on the kitten, giving a subtle nod. Let’s get this started with.
“Minkkit. From this day forth, you’ll be known as Minkpaw. I trust Cherryswirl will be able to teach you all she knows.”
His eyes briefly flitted to the she-cat who had spoken just before; he’d noticed the two walking together before, it seemed like a match-up.
“Minkpaw, Minkpaw, Minkpaw!”
Chanted the new leader after a moment of silence, letting the rest of the clan join in before it became for reassignments.

“Winterpaw, Springpaw, Lionpaw, Cobwebpaw, Minnowpaw, Amberpaw, Rainypaw, Hazelpaw and Duckpaw. Don’t know where your mentors are, but it’s about time your training gets picked up.

Winterpaw, your mentor will be Nightspark.
Springpaw, yours will be Falconflight.
Lionpaw and Fogfall.
Cobwebpaw and Otterslash.”
He did hope the apprentice’s training would be finished soon, considering their age was getting up there.

“Snowstripe, you’ll be finishing Minnowpaw’s training.
Rainypaw, you’ll be paired with Bluestone. Bluestone, Rainypaw’s still new to the clan, so teach him well.
Hazelpaw, you’ll be with Ottersplash.
Duckpaw, your training will be finished by Pebblefur.
Amberpaw… I don’t know why Beansprout demoted you and I don’t care, you’ll be getting your warrior name back with me.”

Fogfall

She purred in delight as her name was called for training an apprentice. Fogfall turned, searching for her new apprentice, Lionpaw. Oh, she just knew that knew he would have so much fun training with Frecklepaw. Maybe Frecks could teach him how to fish? It was her job, but she wanted to prepare him in case he ever became a mentor. She’d have to think of a nickname for Lionpaw, too. Well, if she liked him. She’d definitely shape her apprentices into good, honorable warriors.
She looked around for Lionpaw, smiling. “Lionpaw.” she called out softly, just enough to be heard over the crowd, but not so much that it seemed like she was in a panic.

Rainypaw

His paws nervously kneaded the ground as he shifted his anxious, blue gaze in search of Bkyestone. Finally, he noticed the warrior, having seen him during the moving of Riverclan. He actually admired the tom very much. He heaved himself up quickly, brushing down his ruffled fur, only to have it puff up again.

He walked over to his new mentor, dipping his head. “Hello, sir.” he squeaked, his voice brittle as he spoke. He was nervous he would be mean to him. Warriors didn’t seem to like newcomers much.

Cherryswirl seemed sated with Gingerstar's answer, dipping her head respectfully and offering the other a pleased smile as she settled back down. It was a respectable answer - a damn brave one too. Even with the prospect of having another life, Cherry herself was well cautious of the other leaders and their clans. ShadowClan had seemed to be getting more ferocious in their fighting - hadn't they always been? Same with ThunderClan... Even WindClan had shown a particular disdain in the last battle (maybe because of Beansprout-star's transgressions against their leader). Cherry grimaced for a moment, her ears pinned back. Was RiverClan... the weak link of the forest? Well... They certainly wouldn't be for long with a now stable leadership. The warrior exhaled slowly through her nose, releasing the tension she hadn't realized had bunched up in her muscles. Turning her attention back to the meeting, as Gingerstar spoke once more, she seemed rather surprised to be addressed again,

"Oh!" Her surprised expression travelled from leader to newly made apprentice. Though, Cherry's smile widened as she tried to catch Minkpaw's gaze. Holy trout! Another one to train! She would have her own personal apprentice hit-squad at this point! The warrior quickly shuffled to her paws, moving to meet Minkpaw half-way through the crowd of cheering cats, her tail raised happily behind her,

"Good to see you again, Minkpaw! Looks like I'll be training you from now on - we'll have great fun, I promise." Cherry mewed reassuringly as she lowered her head, offering her nose slightly forward for the apprentice to touch - if she wanted to!

Large, fluffy white cat with black patches and golden-yellow eyes


Duckpaw heard the announcement that her new mentor would be Pebblefur, and she heard a voice call her name. She looked around until she found the cat that was calling her. She looked at her new mentor, worridly. Duckpaw was super insecure, and being trans was a really hard thing for her to do when it came to coming out. What if Pebblefur doesn't like me because I changed my gender? She thought. And what if I never even become a warrior becuase of it?! Duckpaw started breathing deeply in the start of a panic attack. Why StarClan? Why can't I be normal like evry other cat!? She completely forgot that Pebblefur was still waiting for her, and instead, her legs almost gave out from panic. Duckpaw just wanted to be the best warrior possible, but she also struggled with being transgender. Maybe I won't tell Pebblefur that I am trans! Then I won't have to worry! Not many cats, maybe even none knew that she was transgender, since she never spoke to anyone. Maybe I just won't tell anyone! They will treat me just like everyone else if they don't know the truth! By now, Duckpaw was going though every way possible to fit unto her Clan like everyone else, and if not being transgender was the way to do it...Then she would not be transgender.

(I know that that is not how being trans works, but Duckpaw is super stressed and panicing.)(Well, I'd better know how it works...Since I am basically trans myself, hahaha.)

She/her | 17 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes




All things considered, Larkwing had expected worse, but Rugged Range was officially part of their territory and little Minkkit was now Minkpaw. Truthfully, Larkwing hadn't had the chance to interact with the now apprentice, but she seemed to be competent enough, and thus, Lark cheered for her along with the rest of RiverClan, giving her the proper welcome (a welcome some cats evidently couldn't handle, seeing as they left before the meeting was dismissed. Honestly, a clan goes two moons without a proper meeting and suddenly warriors older than her have the attention span of kits!).

As reassignments were called, Larkwing couldn't help the dull swell of jealousy in her gut as her name wasn't mentioned, but she reminded herself that she already had Mothpaw to deal with, and surely she was enough of a pawful on her own. Speaking of Mothpaw... she really needed to get on top of her training, especially with how it will probably become more difficult with her new duties. Not that she's ungrateful! No, of course not! But the time management was something to adjust to. 'It's all a learning curve,' she tells herself over and over in her head, feeling the fur on her neck want to start prickling with anxiety.

She shivers, chalking the feeling to nothing more than the cold temperature today. This is going to be a hard leaf-bare... their prey is nonexistent, their dens are still not quite insulated. Apprentices, elders and kits will find the change in seasons hard and Lark isn't looking forward to how many of them they might lose to the cold and the illnesses it brings with it. She hates leaf-bare, hates the snow and the biting chill and struggling for prey... and she sort of hates that she's going to be the pillar of support for her whole clan. But that's something she'll have to keep to herself. Amberpaw is about to regain their name, though, so Larkwing decides to focus on that instead.

Whoops! Looks like Lionpaw had accidentally fallen asleep during the meeting. It totally wasn't his fault though (or his roleplayer's hehehe). It seemed it was Gingerfrost's mission to make this particular meeting as boring as possible, so of course he'd fallen asleep! But, upon hearing his name he woke with a jerk, whipping his golden head around in sleepy confusion.

Oh, was he finally getting a new mentor? It was about stars-damned time! He had so much training to catch up on, all thanks to Darklight.

Lionpaw rose from his spot and yawned, taking his sweet time rolling the stiffness from his limbs before striding up to Fogfall. Blue eyes looked her up and down, and with a sigh that lingered for a bit too long he mewed "So you're my new mentor, hmm? Well, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

It wasn't a pleasure, evident by the way he didn't even bother to look at Fogfall as he said this. His attention grabbed by the dirt in his paw that he deemed more important than the warrior in front of him.

She gave a strained smile. This kid was going to be a challenge, unlike Frecklepaw. “I will teach you all I know.” she said, touching her nose to his. She would certainly try to soften him up around the edges a bit, though she highly doubted this kid wanted to learn all too much. At least, she doubted it if he was going to give her that note of sass in his sighs. She could tell why his last mentor couldn’t bear to teach him.

“Seven moons and all high and mighty?” she teased, forcing affection to slide into her voice as she spoke to him. Maybe she’d teach Lionpaw how to swim with Frecklepaw. She pulled away, smiling. “I promise you that I will catch you up on your training.” she vowed, dipping her head in turn of his he head dip.

She gave a strained smile. This kid was going to be a challenge, unlike Frecklepaw. “I will teach you all I know.” she said, touching her nose to his. She would certainly try to soften him up around the edges a bit, though she highly doubted this kid wanted to learn all too much. At least, she doubted it if he was going to give her that note of sass in his sighs. She could tell why his last mentor couldn’t bear to teach him.

“Seven moons and all high and mighty?” she teased, forcing affection to slide into her voice as she spoke to him. Maybe she’d teach Lionpaw how to swim with Frecklepaw. She pulled away, smiling. “I promise you that I will catch you up on your training.” she vowed, dipping her head in turn of his he head dip.

Silently watching the different pairs of mentors meet their new apprentices, Gingerstar's ear gave a flick as he heard Amberpaw's hopeful words. Turning her way, he gave a subtle nod;
"First we'll be doing an assessment of your skills after the meeting, but normally, yes."
And it was about time Amberpaw regained her warrior name - frankly, the assessment of her skills was just custom, not truly a necessity in his eyes.

But with that said and done, everyone finally having mentors, the ginger tabby sought out a specific cat in the crowd. Ah, there he was.
"Cloudpaw, step up."
Was all he said as he observed the older apprentice, a slight twinge of nervousness tingling his paws, which he quickly banned.

He almost reeled back as Bluestone went to touch noses with him, horrified he might try to bite him. He blinked when Bluestone didn’t do anything bad. He just.. waited. He smiled widely, eyes glittering with affection. He touched noses with Bluestone. The warror probably didn’t even realize how much this meant to him, finally, sort of not being harmed. He forced himself not to cry, he let the tension he once always kept in his muscles softening as they eased, trustful.

He drew back, still smiling at Bluestone. He loved this. Finally having a mentor. He couldn’t wait to learn, he couldn’t wait to see what he’d learn. He wanted to get a move on with training already, he wanted to so badly. Maybe he could ask for a tiny training session with Bluestone after this? He purred and sat next to his mentor, pressing himself against him like an affectionate kit.

Bluestone smiled as they touched nose, he leaned back as both of them pulled away, it was interesting that the apprentice did not touch with him immediately like other apprentice would, the tom flickered his tail up and down slightly as he was interested to see how the training sessions would go. The tom perked as his apprentice trustfully pressed himself on the warrior, he tail curled around him and the apprentice as he embraced it softly."what do ya say we go out into the territory for a little training maybe we can bring back food for the clan if we do hunting" he said to his apprentice.

Cherryswirl seemed sated with Gingerstar's answer, dipping her head respectfully and offering the other a pleased smile as she settled back down. It was a respectable answer - a damn brave one too. Even with the prospect of having another life, Cherry herself was well cautious of the other leaders and their clans. ShadowClan had seemed to be getting more ferocious in their fighting - hadn't they always been? Same with ThunderClan... Even WindClan had shown a particular disdain in the last battle (maybe because of Beansprout-star's transgressions against their leader). Cherry grimaced for a moment, her ears pinned back. Was RiverClan... the weak link of the forest? Well... They certainly wouldn't be for long with a now stable leadership. The warrior exhaled slowly through her nose, releasing the tension she hadn't realized had bunched up in her muscles. Turning her attention back to the meeting, as Gingerstar spoke once more, she seemed rather surprised to be addressed again,

"Oh!" Her surprised expression travelled from leader to newly made apprentice. Though, Cherry's smile widened as she tried to catch Minkpaw's gaze. Holy trout! Another one to train! She would have her own personal apprentice hit-squad at this point! The warrior quickly shuffled to her paws, moving to meet Minkpaw half-way through the crowd of cheering cats, her tail raised happily behind her,

"Good to see you again, Minkpaw! Looks like I'll be training you from now on - we'll have great fun, I promise." Cherry mewed reassuringly as she lowered her head, offering her nose slightly forward for the apprentice to touch - if she wanted to!

His eyes shone as he looked up at Bluestone. He nodded, pulling his lips into a determined smile. He would do this. He’d earn his name someday. And he’d train an apprentice, too. Just like Bluestone. Just how he’d been trained. He’d make sure that he taught his future apprentice everything. He’d try to help them, he’d be the best mentor the world has ever seen. He wasn’t even aware of himself zoning out until the warrior spoke.

He looked into Bluestone’s eyes. “I’d like that.” he responded. He didn’t even know that three words could possess such determination until now. He surprised himself. He felt the warrior’s tail curl around him. But he didn’t move. He liked the warm embrace.

20/100
___________


Fishpaw didn’t like it, not one bit. He had uninterestedly been hanging around towards the back of the group to avoid contact with anyone that might want to talk to him, listening to the announcements that Gingerstar made. This was the third leader they had in his lifetime from what he could remember. Just why couldn’t they keep a leader? He thought it was pathetic, really. How could RiverClan be called a strong clan if they couldn’t have stable leadership for more than a handful of moons? And what was up with Gingerstar not getting his lives? What was StarClan even thinking? Clearly he was going to need it with all that was going on with the clan. Ugh. This was stupid.

His attention, however, was grabbed when Cherryswirl was named Minkpaw’s mentor. Great, just great. Now he would never finish his training since he had to compete for his own mentor’s time. Wearing a scowl, the undersized tom watched the two greet each other and exchange words. Seeing the exchange filled him with a sense of bitterness, as he recalled having a similar one with his first mentor when he had been apprenticed all those moons ago. Just who did Minkpaw think she was, stealing his mentor from him? He hadn’t been back for too long, but he decided that he already didn’t like Gingerstar. He just wanted his training to be finished so he could be a warrior, but nooo, now he had another roadblock in his way. Eyes narrowed, he watched Minkpaw lean up to touch her nose to his mentor’s with unveiled loathing.

Of course things would end up like this. He couldn’t even fathom why he expected things to be any different when he came back to the clan. If he had just listened to his gut, he wouldn’t have had to deal with these abhorrent shenanigans. StarClan just really liked to spite him by not letting him have anything, huh? Oh, so help him if he met with one of those blasted dead losers, he’d be sure to give them an earful.

Duckpaw
Trans female - She/her
Large, fluffy white cat with black patches and golden-yellow eyes


Duckpaw heard the announcement that her new mentor would be Pebblefur, and she heard a voice call her name. She looked around until she found the cat that was calling her. She looked at her new mentor, worridly. Duckpaw was super insecure, and being trans was a really hard thing for her to do when it came to coming out. What if Pebblefur doesn't like me because I changed my gender? She thought. And what if I never even become a warrior becuase of it?! Duckpaw started breathing deeply in the start of a panic attack. Why StarClan? Why can't I be normal like evry other cat!? She completely forgot that Pebblefur was still waiting for her, and instead, her legs almost gave out from panic. Duckpaw just wanted to be the best warrior possible, but she also struggled with being transgender. Maybe I won't tell Pebblefur that I am trans! Then I won't have to worry! Not many cats, maybe even none knew that she was transgender, since she never spoke to anyone. Maybe I just won't tell anyone! They will treat me just like everyone else if they don't know the truth! By now, Duckpaw was going though every way possible to fit unto her Clan like everyone else, and if not being transgender was the way to do it...Then she would not be transgender.

(I know that that is not how being trans works, but Duckpaw is super stressed and panicing.)(Well, I'd better know how it works...Since I am basically trans myself, hahaha.)

(Lol no worries.. and just to clarify, do you want me to use she/her or they/them pronouns for Duckpaw? I think I know the answer just wanna clarify :heartbounce: )

She purred in delight as her name was called for training an apprentice. Fogfall turned, searching for her new apprentice, Lionpaw. Oh, she just knew that knew he would have so much fun training with Frecklepaw. Maybe Frecks could teach him how to fish? It was her job, but she wanted to prepare him in case he ever became a mentor. She’d have to think of a nickname for Lionpaw, too. Well, if she liked him. She’d definitely shape her apprentices into good, honorable warriors.
She looked around for Lionpaw, smiling. “Lionpaw.” she called out softly, just enough to be heard over the crowd, but not so much that it seemed like she was in a panic.

His paws nervously kneaded the ground as he shifted his anxious, blue gaze in search of Bkyestone. Finally, he noticed the warrior, having seen him during the moving of Riverclan. He actually admired the tom very much. He heaved himself up quickly, brushing down his ruffled fur, only to have it puff up again.

He walked over to his new mentor, dipping his head. “Hello, sir.” he squeaked, his voice brittle as he spoke. He was nervous he would be mean to him. Warriors didn’t seem to like newcomers much.

Birdpaw

With every passing beat of Pebblesplash's silence, Birdpaw felt herself growing more and more weary. More and more exhausted. More and more.... done with this. Rising to her paws with a stiff nod to Briarpaw and the cat she had once considered a mother, the molly padded over to her sister's niece, to her niece, and smiled. "Congrats, Minkpaw!" She chirped, bending down to attempt to give her niece a gentle, congratulatory nuzzle. Minkpaw had also lost her Dad and siblings. Minkpaw was growing up with the same conditions and similar losses as Birdpaw herself had.

There was one thing that before Snowleap, Birdpaw had never consistently had and that was a safe, older cat to turn to when things got rough. She went from foster parent to foster parent, from mentor to mentor, from friend to friend, and had lost them all eventually. She would be there for Minkpaw. Birdpaw was determined to grab hold of the family she had left and never let them go.

With another warm smile at her smaller lookalike, the ragdoll nodded and turned to sit off to the side to let her niece get acquainted with her new mentor, settling near the back. The space beside her was empty. The place where Kestrelskies was supposed to be. The place that would never be filled again.

There the apprentice was, stepping up to the large stone just as Gingerstar had asked him to. His eyes narrowed slightly as he regarded the older apprentice, though really, the tom was digging far and wide in his mind to remember the exact words - could you blame him? It felt like moons since the last warrior ceremony; frankly, he could hardly remember the last one. But that made this all the more important, and as the ginger tabby watched Cloudpaw, he finally spoke.
"I, Gingerstar, leader of RiverClan,"-
Why did that sound so weird out loud?-
"Call upon our warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice."
If they cared at all.
"He has trained hard and well to understand the ways of our code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn."
Briefly glancing up to the sky as he spoke, he didn't hesitate to lock his eyes on the apprentice once more.
"Cloudpaw. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect and defend RiverClan even at the cost of your own life?"

"Minkpaw, once the meeting is all done I'll come find you and we'll go for a territory tour, alright?" And so, she left the two alone to chat and made her way back to her original seat to listen intently to the rest of the meeting. On her way back, she spotted Fishpaw briefly, waving her tail in a friendly manner to her first apprentice. Oh, it looked like Cloudpaw was receiving their warrior name! How exciting!

Springpaw had been idly listening to everything that Gingerstar was saying, it had nothing to do with her nor did it seem that important. Of course, she gave half-assed congrats to the new ranks, good for them she guessed. Later she would give them a better one when no group was gathered. She perked up a bit though when she heard her name mentioned and another following after it. Nice, another new mentor she wondered how long this one would last before they vanished on her too. The apprentice had little faith that this one would last long enough to teach her something. She was aware of how behind she was in her training, thankfully she at least got the basics down. She sat there with an occasional flick of her tail sitting, waiting. Would they approach her to greet her or would they just ignore her existence, she was going with the latter. All she knew was that she wasn't about to get up and go to them, she didn't feel like meeting another disappointment.

Not a moment of hesitation, not even a stutter. He liked to hear it, it showed confidence, in a way. Looking down upon the single apprentice beneath the stone, Gingerstar took in the simple two words. The difficult (and boring) part was over, they could get to the naming now.
"Then from this moment forth, I give you your warrior name.
You will be known as Cloudheart. We honour your loyalty and dedication, and welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan."
He paused, taking the time to give the now warrior a nod before raising his head and beginning to ritualistic chant of his name.
"Cloudheart, Cloudheart, Cloudheart!"

That was the most important parts of the meeting done with; he had to say, the clan hardly reacted the way he expected. But oh well, better this than outrage, he supposed. Maybe they were all just tired... Needed to wake them up. Waiting patiently for the chanting to begin and, eventually seize, he wasted little time in continuing the meeting.
"With further news, the kit curriculum. From now queens and elders are to take on at least one lesson, and I don't want to hear any complaints about it. Your duty is to the kits, this is a part of it.
I won't stop you warriors from teaching the kits as well, but queens and elders are to come to me within the next seven sunrises to tell me which class they'll be taking on ."

Now to move on to the last (and arguably silliest) topic of this meeting so that they didn't have time to argue and he had an excuse to ignore them: the name of this stone.
"Lastly, this meeting stone's... Name. Back in the old camp, it was the Streamstone. We can keep that, or you lot can give suggestions for a different name - new camp, now stone. We'll cast a vote if necessary. So, any suggestions?"
Speak now or forever keep your silence, he thought.

Well Sunsetpaw was mostly not paying attention for the following announcements; guess they were thinking or doing something so much till' the point where they didn't realized the other announcements (which sucks) before an apprentice's warrior ceremony, which finally brought them back. Sunsetpaw smiled at the apprentice getting his warrior name "Cloudheart! Cloudheart! Cloudheart" they cheered the new warrior's name happily "Congrats on becoming a warrior!. A new warrior! That's great! They liked the name, it sounds good! They didn't know Cloudpaw, now Cloudheart, very well but it was still great seeing him become a warrior! Now, they needed to keep paying attention and not go off somewhere in their head.
Sunsetpaw listened as Gingerstar made another announcement as the cheering seizes. The announcement is that now the elders and queens will be taking care of the kit curriculum. Okay, neat! Since warriors can still teach, maybe someday Sunsetpaw would be able to teach a lesson once they become a warrior! If so, what lesson would they teach? That's a question for another day i guess....also speaking of the kit curriculum, they remembered Mistycloud was the swimming class teacher at some point, right? Where did she go? Hopefully she's okay. Sunsetpaw hasn't seen her for so long. Did she leave? Maybe. In fact, probably.

The name of the stone that riverclan will use for now on..a new name...because of a new camp...Sunsetpaw listened to the other ideas; Flowstones? That name sounds great! Sharpstone? That name sounds cool! Gingerstone? It'll be a little weird for the name once Gingerstar is no longer leader...but he did lead them here! Waterblock rock? That's kinda unique! Though the apprentice had an idea for a name for the stone aswell! Technicalky three "How about...." they started, before talking out their ideas "Riverstone or Shiningstone or maybe Stormstone? " it was the first three names that popped in their head. Riverstone because riverclan. Shiningstone because it's wear the leaders have meetings on and it can represent finding the new camp, riverclan working super hard to head to a place with shelter and the nessecary things. And Stormstone because of the storm and flood that made riverclan move to this new camp! And that was it for their ideas! They also liked the other ideas as well, whatever names can work

Sootpelt was too paranoid to speak. Her eyes widened as movement outside of the camp caught her eye. She knew how bad this was.

Amberpaw- she supposed she should consider herself Amberwing again now, listened carefully. There were plenty if good ideas, although if a vote was cast she would probably go with Flowstone. Still, she had her own idea.

"Floodstone? Since we're going to come back stronger from this flood, prove as a clan we're stronger than that and stronger than the stream we were before." She made sure to raise her voice loudly, louder than usual if she wanted to be heard.

Oh what a surprise, his siblings would be the new high ranks good for them...though he was envious that they both were more important then him now he did cheer like everyone else but other than that he didn't care.

But the next thing caught his attention. An apprentice? For him? Wow! He'd be a mentor and though he was young he could teach them a lot...or so he thought...now where are they? Orange hues searched the clearing for the pelt of Springpaw and he soon found it.

Not wasting any time he strided up to her confidently a wide grin on his face as he greeted her "Hey, so I'm your mentor now so I'm gonna teach ya how to be the best warrior in Riverclan well besides me got it?" he mewed cheerfily causally flicking his tail he didn't really care if she didn't like him or not as long as she listened to him it'd be fine.

Fishpaw frowned, he couldn't understand why his clanmates were suggesting such complicated names. There was an obvious choice that they just happened to gloss over. Worming his way through the crowd, the undersized tom stood boldly in front. "Gingerstar, I have one to suggest still!" he called to the leader. It still didn't feel right calling him that, was he really a -star if he didn't have his lives? "I think the clear and most right choice would be to call it the 'Wetrock'" he said, licking the fur down on his chest "Simple, but it effectively captures the essence of the location." He then swept his light-green gaze around the gathered cats to see if any of these weirdos would agree. His idea was definitely the best, so it'd be odd for them to not choose it.

Monkey's Paw Purrk - Permanent Photophobia & Flock Together (T1)


Smiling faintly at Cherryswirl as her new mentor assured her that she'd be a fine apprentice, Minkpaw practically vibrated with pleasure as the warrior promised to take her out on a territory tour. "Okay." She whispered, pupils dilating suddenly when Cherryswirl moved away for some reason. Minkpaw hissed softly in pain when the older molly's shadow left her, her ears pinning back against her skull, her eyes squeezing shut to make the insistent burning stop.

She only opened her eyes when a warm voice sounded by her ear, and a equally affectionate nuzzle followed. Peeking up at Birdpaw, Minkpaw felt her heart swell with joy at the sight of her not-aunt-but-still-aunt. "Hi. Thank you." Technically, Birdpaw was Minkpaw's aunt, considering the fact that Pikestar -- er, Snowleap, had been Minkpaw's Godfather.

As Birdpaw moved away, Minkpaw loitered in place, unsure whether to move or not. She stood there at the front, alone and unsure what to do now, and then remained there as Gingerstar moved on with the meeting. Cloudheart was named a warrior, and then the ginger leader announced that.. Streamstone's name was to be changed. Minkpaw blinked, taking in this information as someone shouldered up to the front, coincidentally beside her. Oh, it was the apprentice from earlier... The one who'd been staring at her as if she'd grown two heads or something. The one who Cherryswirl had waved to when she'd walked off.

Her steps uncertain, but her eyes begging for relief, Minkpaw shuffled backwards into Fishpaw's shadow and crouched to make herself smaller than her already-runt-body was. Her shoulders sagged with immediate relaxation as the burning behind her eyelids abated slightly. Glancing sidelong at the apprentice, Minkpaw hesitated. Her quest for solace had brought her closer to the tom than comfortable, considering the way he had been glaring at her earlier. "Um. Hello." She began, pale-blue eyes fixating on the apprentice's face. "I saw my mentor waving to you earlier... Are you related to her?" Maybe he was her son? Minkpaw had no idea. Her gaze darted to Birdpaw as the molly agreed with the Wetrock title, but Minkpaw didn't agree with that. Instead she glanced up at Gingerstar. "Floodstone."

20/100
___________


Fishpaw flashed the two she-cats who gave their votes to 'Wetrock' a quick upwards quirk of his lips before turning his head back to Gingerstar and straightening his features. At least the two of them had some sense, that was perfect, perhaps his idea might get chosen after all.

His train of thought was rudely interrupted by a soft voice behind him. Turning, he noticed the small shape of Minkpaw looking at him. Instantly, a frown grew on the tom's face as he scrutinizingly studied the younger apprentice. So this was Cherryswirl's new charge? She was awfully small and scrawny looking. Wait, wave to him? Thinking back, the warrior had waved to him earlier, hadn't she? He just chose to ignore it because he wasn't too happy (jealous, he was jealous).

"No." He said in a curt response to her question "I am not related to her." How could she even suggest such an outlandish idea? They didn't even look the same! He was a light blue spotted tabby, and Cherryswirl was a ginger tabby. C'mon now, do better. "And she's not your mentor. Cherryswirl was my mentor first. You're just borrowing her," He said with his frown growing into a displeased sneer. "You're in second place, remember that. Just like your choice for the renaming of the stones, I don't like you. Now shoo, go away." he said with a dismissive wave of his paw.

He didn't like her. Well, he didn't really have a reason to dislike her other than the fact that she was supposedly stealing his mentor from him, but to him that was justified enough. Now he just wanted this little thing away from him, she was ruining his already sour mood.

Briarpaw and Birdpaw

The two molly's looked over in sync as Fishpaw requested a name a bit late. Wetrock. Perfect! "Wetrock!" Briarpaw called, with Birdpaw croaking out an echo of the vote.

(two votes for wetrock hehe)

AntlerBlizzard scoffed. This was riduculous! They didn't need a new name for the stupid stone. The zebra striped cat thought intently before deciding on the name 'Riverstone.' "I vote Riverstone!" She said. They then heard an apprentice yowl out Wetrock. It shot a glare at FishPaw and the other three apprentices who had agreed with him. What a stupid name! It was honestly shameful!

Monkey's Paw Purrk - Permanent Photophobia & Flock Together (T1)


Smiling faintly at Cherryswirl as her new mentor assured her that she'd be a fine apprentice, Minkpaw practically vibrated with pleasure as the warrior promised to take her out on a territory tour. "Okay." She whispered, pupils dilating suddenly when Cherryswirl moved away for some reason. Minkpaw hissed softly in pain when the older molly's shadow left her, her ears pinning back against her skull, her eyes squeezing shut to make the insistent burning stop.

She only opened her eyes when a warm voice sounded by her ear, and a equally affectionate nuzzle followed. Peeking up at Birdpaw, Minkpaw felt her heart swell with joy at the sight of her not-aunt-but-still-aunt. "Hi. Thank you." Technically, Birdpaw was Minkpaw's aunt, considering the fact that Pikestar -- er, Snowleap, had been Minkpaw's Godfather.

As Birdpaw moved away, Minkpaw loitered in place, unsure whether to move or not. She stood there at the front, alone and unsure what to do now, and then remained there as Gingerstar moved on with the meeting. Cloudheart was named a warrior, and then the ginger leader announced that.. Streamstone's name was to be changed. Minkpaw blinked, taking in this information as someone shouldered up to the front, coincidentally beside her. Oh, it was the apprentice from earlier... The one who'd been staring at her as if she'd grown two heads or something. The one who Cherryswirl had waved to when she'd walked off.

Her steps uncertain, but her eyes begging for relief, Minkpaw shuffled backwards into Fishpaw's shadow and crouched to make herself smaller than her already-runt-body was. Her shoulders sagged with immediate relaxation as the burning behind her eyelids abated slightly. Glancing sidelong at the apprentice, Minkpaw hesitated. Her quest for solace had brought her closer to the tom than comfortable, considering the way he had been glaring at her earlier. "Um. Hello." She began, pale-blue eyes fixating on the apprentice's face. "I saw my mentor waving to you earlier... Are you related to her?" Maybe he was her son? Minkpaw had no idea. Her gaze darted to Birdpaw as the molly agreed with the Wetrock title, but Minkpaw didn't agree with that. Instead she glanced up at Gingerstar. "Floodstone."

CinnamonSwirl smiled at Gingerstar. A new name sounded wonderful and Shiningstone sounded amazing. "I like Shiningstone!" CinnamonSwirl purred. A little ways off she heard two apprentices...bickering? Or at least that's what it looked like from what they could see. They squinted and realized with a jolt those were CherrySwirl's new apprentices. They started to pad over and heard one, FishPaw, say "...Cherryswirl was my mentor first..." CinnamonSwirl looked shocked at the apprentices rudeness. "Hey! Be nice now and, actually, you weren't her first apprentice! I was!" They said, a bit of pride at the last bit "Anyways I am sure Cherry wouldn't appreciate you talking to MinkPaw like that!'

✮➥ Mention(s): [ Estelle , Dark , Orchid ]

It all started with the Star that Guide. They had taken him under their wing in a way. Guiding them in the proper direction, but they had allowed cats to rise to power just to tear them down to the pits of the Starless Stalks. However, the Stars that Guide did not support those cats. Beansprout or even his father. If they did not support Gingerfrost, could he…? That was an obvious choice.

No, not right now at least.

For all his life, for the last Fifteen moons, Mumblepaw had put their faith in the Stars that Guide and Starless Stalks. To lead him in the right direction. Everytime he asked for them, they brought news or a new idea to him.

Liar. Beansprout had been a liar to him, the Stars that Guide and the settlements. What was stopping Gingerfrost from doing the same, nothing. That’s why he was one.

“To keep up appearances,” that was a cheap excuse to have the name in Mumblepaw’s eyes, to keep up appearances was a joke, the settlement was just attacked twice. Beansprout had been made a fool in front of Bumblestar, she knows. She has to know that Beansprout had no lives, the flood and now this. Commandership or not, you were nothing without settlement support or else you will be used as an example. That was what Beansprout was to the other Settlements, an example of the Settlement that Guides the River was doing at the time. Head turning to the Ginger tomcat, a clear look of questioning and disagreement on his face. Mumbling under their breath. “You know exactly what you’re doing….”

What was stopping Gingerfrost from also becoming an example. Gingerfrost lead straight to fang. If Gingerfrost was to be used as an example the Mumblepaw was next in line as well.

These new ranks meant nothing to him. Herbalist, Second-In-Command and Herbalist-in-training. A random guy Mumblepaw had never seen and a cat who was just did a few patrols. How “impressive”. Tansypaw was the only cat who Mumblepaw knew and really even liked out of the three chosen. Letting the word fall out of their mouth roughly as snake hesitated slightly. “Tansypaw…”

Once again, the cat found themselves giving a small nod towards the cats in this settlement, Minkkit was no different. A faint “hmm” tags alongside the nod, something it picked up from Gingerfrost over the moons. Mumble could barely think straight let alone see the cat clearly. The learner was more focused on not choking on the air being inhaled. Tunneling was the first thing that needed to be addressed after this meeting. As the “kit”, she was beyond old enough, thank the stars. A faint memory of jumping into the river after her fills one of the slots in his brain. Minkpaw, one of Racconpelt and Flintfangs kits, the only one left as far as he knew. The name came out rough and weary as the cat moved his eyes towards her. “Minkpaw, yay..” How lazy of them, the conflicted thoughts pass through fangs mind. Acting like a kit towards this whole meeting.


The reassignment of learners came up, Mumblepaw was tempted to speak up on his behalf. Flamebriar was missing since they left the Settlement. Was she lost in the flood too? Mumble hadn’t seen her in the battle either. His mentor is most likely dead by now if she was injured and just fled, stars above, this Settlement couldn’t stop losing cats could it?


The calico felt his eyes starting to water as a result of a prolonged yawn that escaped his maw. Interesting name choices. This was like a never ending phase. A few votes rang out, Gingerstone was probably the dumbest out of all those that he had heard. That was naming something after themself. Their head shot straight towards the cat that shot the idea up. Bluefang. Tsk, how typical, doing nothing then offering a crow-food name for such an important thing. Head turning towards his father, managing to gather some sort of energy as he spoke with some sense of certainty and confidence. “My vote is to Floodstone……papa” The last word faded to whisper towards him, attempting to show some sort of familiarity and connection between them. This was the cat that Mumble had begged to be named after, they had to stay on some sort of common ground.

All the anger towards his father faded now, unable to disconnect their eyes from his for a moment after snake went quiet again. Attention being instantly grabbed by Fishpaw’s voice. Ears peeking instantly as Mumblepaw defensively stood up, a snarl appearing on the learner’s face as they weaved through the crowd and towards Fishpaw and the other two. “Excuse me, are we having a problem over here, Fishpaw?” His voice was direct and gruff from the faint bit of dehydration that he was suffering for a short time. The walk back and forth had not allowed them to grab a drink. Turning towards the other voice that joined in. The whisper of the question escaped before they could think about it. “Who the hell are you…I have never seen you in my life” UGH! Random ass cats just love to add onto the issue at paw without trying to see what was happening.

“Ya know what, I don’t have the time or patience to deal with any of this. Grow up Fishface, stars above you are going to kill me with a headache.” The calico threw in the mushroom, back away but now before snarling at Fishpaw once again. Returning to his post next to the Stone and Gingerfrost.

Eyes daring to close for longer and longer periods of time as he “blinked”. But no, he didn’t want to be dragged back to that…place. To the Stars that Guide, if fang saw Martenkit among them then he wouldn’t be able to live with snakeself. Those cat, they were evil to him. They didn’t care about what was happening on the outside.

But…it was the good of the Settlement. He was their messenger, yeah. He had to send messages back and forth. He was their tool in some sense, they were of use to the Stars that Guide and the Starless Stalks. They were helping the settlement by being the messenger. No, no, they could sleep. It was the betterment of the Settlement. If they didn’t sleep then who would be there to take in the messages?

Mumblepaw’s eyes drift from the ginger commander to the ground as they get lost in thought. Using a white paw to wipe their eyes roughly, turning back to Gingerfrost, the bags under their eyes appeared to be agitated by the sudden and rough paw movement on the area.

Minkpaw couldn't help it. Her ears flicked back against her head with bewilderment at the apprentice's cold tone. Her pale hues widened slightly after a couple moments with belated understanding. "Oh, I didn't... I didn't know Cherryswirl had another apprentice." Her gaze darted to the warrior in question for a brief moment. Would Cherryswirl have time.. for her? Minkpaw was a lot to deal with, she knew that through experience. She was too tiny, too fragile, too weak, her eyes didn't even work properly... A sinking feeling began in her chest, but Minkpaw ignored it.

"Sorry." She apologized softly, daring a glance up at Fishpaw. "I just thought... I'm sorry." Swallowing down the sting of rejection, Minkpaw pasted on a wavering smile and steeled herself before shuffling back out of Fishpaw's shadow, cringing slightly at the sunlight's harsh rays. But he'd told her to move away, and she wouldn't disrespect that. She glanced briefly at Willowkit as the other female hurried up to her, but Minkpaw didn't respond.

Sunsetpaw listened to the other names. There's a lot of good names! Sunsetpaw didn't know which name to vote for. Should they vote for their own name idea..? Or...would that be not nice..? There were other cats who voted for their own name idea...but then again...well, in the end, if they don't know which own to vote for...maybe they should just..vote their own name idea...? That's alright to do, right..? "Uhm...Riverstone" Sunsetpaw said, a bit nervous about voting their own idea "because...riverclan" they decided riverstone was the best name of the three they suggested. Though they also liked Shiningstone a lot! So many good names here! Sunsetpaw would be completely fine with any of the names being chosen as the new meeting rock name. The name Gingerstone was still...odd and...well...yea...cause..yea but there's a reason behind it.

Their blue gaze went over to one of the apprentices, the one that suggested the name 'wetrock'. Well- it's a bit weird sounding but it's not bad! Rivers are (really) wet and riverclan swims so sometimes when the cat gets out of the water their fur is wet and the clan was wet when it was raining and they were all trying to walk towards the rugged range so it still made sense in Sunsetpaw's head. Not the best, but definately not the worst!

“Ya know what, I don’t have the time or patience to deal with any of this. Grow up Fishface, stars above you are going to kill me with a headache.” The calico threw in the mushroom, back away but now before snarling at Fishpaw once again. Returning to his post next to the Stone and Gingerfrost.

Eyes daring to close for longer and longer periods of time as he “blinked”. But no, he didn’t want to be dragged back to that…place. To the Stars that Guide, if fang saw Martenkit among them then he wouldn’t be able to live with snakeself. Those cat, they were evil to him. They didn’t care about what was happening on the outside.

But…it was the good of the Settlement. He was their messenger, yeah. He had to send messages back and forth. He was their tool in some sense, they were of use to the Stars that Guide and the Starless Stalks. They were helping the settlement by being the messenger. No, no, they could sleep. It was the betterment of the Settlement. If they didn’t sleep then who would be there to take in the messages?

Mumblepaw’s eyes drift from the ginger commander to the ground as they get lost in thought. Using a white paw to wipe their eyes roughly, turning back to Gingerfrost, the bags under their eyes appeared to be agitated by the sudden and rough paw movement on the area.

Monkey's Paw Purrk - Permanent Photophobia & Flock Together (T1)


Minkpaw couldn't help it. Her ears flicked back against her head with bewilderment at the apprentice's cold tone. Her pale hues widened slightly after a couple moments with belated understanding. "Oh, I didn't... I didn't know Cherryswirl had another apprentice." Her gaze darted to the warrior in question for a brief moment. Would Cherryswirl have time.. for her? Minkpaw was a lot to deal with, she knew that through experience. She was too tiny, too fragile, too weak, her eyes didn't even work properly... A sinking feeling began in her chest, but Minkpaw ignored it.

"Sorry." She apologized softly, daring a glance up at Fishpaw. "I just thought... I'm sorry." Swallowing down the sting of rejection, Minkpaw pasted on a wavering smile and steeled herself before shuffling back out of Fishpaw's shadow, cringing slightly at the sunlight's harsh rays. But he'd told her to move away, and she wouldn't disrespect that. She glanced briefly at Willowkit as the other female hurried up to her, but Minkpaw didn't respond.

Irritation warped the small tabby’s features as the younger apprentice continued to address him, what part of “shoo” hadn’t she understood? ”Yes, she does have another apprentice, and it is me. Don’t forget that,” he said in a low growl. ”And you had better be sorry, I don’t take too kindly to having my personal space invaded, so do try to avoid that going forward.” He thought that’d be the end of it, but unfortunately, it seemed that with the minor commotion came some nosy onlookers.

Eyes narrowed, Fishpaw turned towards the latest interruption, Cinnamonswirl. Supposedly this cat was previously Cherryswirl’s apprentice as well. Why did it matter to her? She was irrelevant, a warrior now so whatever connection the two had was moot. ”Come on now sweety, go sit down somewhere and mind your own damn business. ‘Cinnamonswirl’, gosh, even your name is unoriginal - it just screams ‘Pick me!’” He said with hardly veiled disgust oozing into his voice “So run along and butt out, I don’t believe I was talking to you.” Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Minkpaw had taken the distraction as an opportunity to sneak away. Good. Now he just had one more to deal with…

With a snarl of his own, he then turned to the other interloper - Mumblepaw. Why were they coming in droves? It was if the entire clan existed for the sole purpose of irritating him He shouldn’t have suggested his idea and just stayed in the back. Now he had to deal with nonsense that he didn’t particularly care for. Rolling his eyes, he waited for the older apprentice to finish speaking before addressing them, ”Yeah, you best be on your way too, ‘Mumblepaw’. Whoever was in charge of naming you clearly didn’t expect you to make a lasting impression on anybody. Be like your namesake and keep your trap shut. Good riddance!”

Having dealt with that distraction, he then turned back to where he expected Cinnamonswirl to be and gave her a sharp glare that dared her to say anything else. He was pissed at her the most for being the initial one to butt in his conversation to add her own input. He didn’t care what Cherryswirl thought. She wasn’t his mother, and they’d hardly even done much together. Granted, he didn’t particularly hate the she-cat, but he couldn’t help but find her usually bright personality a bit offputting. Also, it was her fault for all of this to begin with. She could’ve told Gingerstar she already had an apprentice, or she could’ve just not waved at him drawing the attention of Minkpaw, or still, she could’ve taught this supposed previous apprentice of hers some manners not to mind someone else's business.

Gosh, this was infuriating.

Badgerkit had to pick Waterblock rock! Her bestie chose it! "Waterblock rock!" she called, proud of herself for choosing her friends suggestion, and more proud of her friend for choosing it.

Duckpaw

Duckpaw thought or a second. "I like Riverstone." She meowed.

Cinnamonswirl - They/Them - Ace + Pan - 28 Moons

--

CinnamonSwirl drew in a big, shaky breath. 'Don't hit the child, you can't hit a child!' They thought, using all their willpower to not smack some sense into the thick skulled apprentice. The swirled cinnamon and white cat was so flipping annoyed with this apprentice. 'Just walk away and deal with this later, or never.' They thought and stood up, ignoring his stars damned glare.

Falconfeather
Purrks: Silver Tongue (Unactivite), Herbal Knowledge - T1

"Floodstone." He spoke loudly, enough for his voice to the be heard. For some reason, he felt a pull towards that name, 'Floodstone' seemed to be a better fit than the rest, and plus, it sounded cool too. The healer curled his tail over his paws as he listened to what his clanmates had to say.

What in the hell..? The commotion behind Falconfeather was enough to pull his attention momentarily away from his clanmates' dialogue, causing his eye to twitch at the voices he heard. His head snapped around, a low growl in his throat. Nobody dared to talk to his sister's like that, a kid doing it or not, nobody was gonna get away with it. Nothing ticked him off more than some entitled ass kid thinking his was better than everyone else talking smack to a warrior (especially Falcon's own sister), he just wasn't gonna have it. Instead of just ignoring the whole situation and making it worse, of course Falcon had to intervene, it was his nature. Pushing himself to his paws, the silver cat whipped around and stalked towards Fishpaw, Minkpaw, Mumblepaw, and Cinnamonswirl, eyes dark. He didn't mean to come off the way he did, but boy was Falcon mad. "Listen here, you little rat. I sure don't appreciate you talking to my sister like that, first of all she's your elder, a warrior, and much older than you, second, that's my sister, and you better not think you disrespect her without dealing with me. Also, when are you gonna learn to keep your trap shut? Just because I'm a medicine cat doesn't mean I can't drag you outta here by your ears, little boy. Someone needs to teach you some manners, before I have to teach them myself, and you're not gonna like the way I do it." His claws dug deep in the earth to keep himself from swatting at the ignorant little apprentice's face. "And, I'm not one hunderd percent sure Cherryswirl would be happy hearing you're talking to your training partner that way, I'd hate to tell her and make your training harder for you."

Darksong would walk over to the streamstone enjoying the view as she was trying her very hardest to not get wet again after just drying her self off after the ran this morning and how it had cleared up very nicely.

She then noticed that Mistypaw was coming up next to her and that she had to think of a warrior name to tell Gingerfrost as he knew that Darksong knew Mistypaw the best out of any of the cats in the clan.

"Hey Mistypaw you know in a few days your going to be a warrior and not be under my guidelines anymore right"She said.

She was more frightend that Mistypaw would be able to tell she was stressing out about the name ideas and also that she might never be mentor again as it was very rare that cats in Riverclan got to be Mentors twice and they would just be normal warriors without anyone to train.

"Ok well I have to go Mistypaw and talk to Gingerfrost if you wanna go back to camp feel free I just need to talk to him about something inportant." Spooky Galaxy

Alright, one, two... Silently tallying the votes in his mind, he was baffled by the amount that actually voted Gingerstone - yeah no. Not for him. A late contender, Wetrock, also got quite the few votes and he almost thought that one would win. But the one he arguably heard the most, also the one who reminded him of the flood they'd live, is 'Floodstone'. Although momentarily distracted by some annoying cats arguing during the meeting (including the new medicine cat, mind you) the winner of the vote was clear.
"Then it's settled. This... Thing, shall be know as the Floodstone."
He interrupted the arguing, eyes then falling on his child, whose gaze bore into his mind. His maw pressed together, looking back before he had to turn his attention on the clan once again.
"As a last note, we'll be looking for new Lionhearts. So step it up if you're interested in the position.
Meeting dismissed."
With that he deftly leapt of the stone, making his way past Fishpaw and the lot.
"Next time keep your arguing until after the meeting."
He mew, not caring to hear any more of it, so he left.
