Slatestripe was not happy. A lot of cats hadn’t done their duty on the patrols he’d organized. Time to dish out some punishments. If these cats had a genuine excuse, that was one thing. But if they’d just shirked their duties, then that was a problem.
He decided to deal with the patrol leaders first. “Talloak, Bloodlily, and Frostmoon!” he called. “The three of you did not report your patrols. How can our Clan be expected to function if warriors don’t take their duty as patrol leader seriously? Each of you will complete the patrol you were assigned by yourself, right now. When you’re done, you will come back here and complete three chores around camp. I don’t care what they are, as long as they’re helpful. If you’ve got a good excuse for not reporting, hurry up and tell me now. Otherwise, get out of here.”
( @fernmass @Firefly @Gunnar You must complete this punishment within 7 IRL days, or your cat will face further punishment. Your solo patrol should consist of either one, 50+ word post for hunting, or two, 50+ word posts for a border patrol. Chore posts should each be 25 words or more, and should involve your cat doing something helpful around camp. Changing nests, taking care of ticks, prepping dens for leaf-bare, and cleaning dens are all examples of chores. Sometimes I make mistakes, so if you feel your cat is being punished unjustly then please reach out to me PRIVATELY! )
Now, on to the cats who didn’t pull their weight. “Ivybush, Wildholly, Goldenleaf, Rabbitwatcher, Peachpaw, Darkriver, Rainfern, Irispaw, and Blizzardsky!” he called. “Why didn’t any of you come report to me when your patrol leaders failed to? Why does the prey pile still look smaller than it should? I’d better hear some good excuses. If you don’t have one, then here’s how your punishment is going to go.
“Ivybush, Wildholly, Goldenleaf, Darkriver, Rainfern, and Blizzardsky. Since you’re warriors, you all should know better than to slack on patrol. Wildholly, Goldenleaf, Rabbitwatcher, and Darkriver. Go talk to Marigoldleap and tell her your punishment is to collect herbs for her. Ivybush, Rainfern, and Blizzardsky, your punishment will be to hunt individually for the Clan. Do not even think about showing your faces here until you’ve caught at least three pieces of prey.”
He paused to take a breath. “Peachpaw and Irispaw. Since you’re apprentices, I will let you get off a little easier. Both of you will complete two chores around the camp. I don’t care what these chores are, as long as they’re helpful. Now all of you, go on unless you’ve got an excuse to give me for not doing your job!”
For those talking to Marigoldleap, you have 7 IRL days to speak to her. From there, you must complete whatever herb collecting task you are assigned within 7 IRL days. For those hunting, you must make at least one post of 50 words or more of your cat hunting. Chore posts should each be 25 words or more, and should involve your cat doing something helpful around camp. Changing nests, taking care of ticks, prepping dens for leaf-bare, and cleaning dens are all examples of chores. Hunting and chores must be done within 7 IRL days. Failure to complete your punishment will result in further punishment. Report to Slatestripe on this thread when you’re done. Please contact me PRIVATELY if you have a legitimate OOC excuse or another concern. I sometimes make mistakes, so if you feel your cat is being unjustly punished please reach out! )
She decided to speak up for herself. "Sir, I dont mean to be rude, but I wasted half of my patrol time waiting for one of my cats, I thought they would come and they didnt, how is that my fault? I tried to get them out of trouble, but they never came did they?" she was prepared for a good scolding but did she really deserve a punishment for something she tried to prevent. She just dragged her tail on the floor. If Slatestripe didnt find it convincing she'd have to go on another patrol. It wasnt what she had willed to do but she had to do what was best for her clan. Even if it wasnt best for her.

Re: RiverClan Punishments
༻ Talloak ༺
He huffed, raising a brow. Well he did care about his image as a warrior. But having to do such work without the care of the other warriors was just.. he held himself back from cursing. He gave a small nod towards Slatestripe as he went on his way.
When Slatestripe didnt answer her Bloodlily just mumbled under her breath before padding out of camp to go hunting. Well didnt that suck! She thought to herself with a groan as she left. Hunting, then marking the border and then after that I have to also do chores? Wasnt this a bit harsh? She wouldve thought just to go out and do a solo hunting patrol. But a whole solo border patrol and chores? The things apprentices were suppossed to do? That was ridiculous! But she couldnt talk back, or else she'd get into worse trouble
Bloodlily was quite indignant at being punished for not reporting her patrol. Something about being late because she had to wait for others. Didn’t she know enough to carry on if they didn’t show up after a while? Slatestripe swung his amber gaze around to respond, but the other cat stalked away before he could. Slatestripe sighed; if Bloodlily wasn’t going to be patient enough for a response, then why bother saying anything at all? Whatever! Just as long as she does her punishment and gets back in a reasonable amount of time.
Fadingstar is currently RiverClan's leader. He has an open den policy; his den can be found here. If you have any questions or concerns about RiverClan, or any plots to propose, feel free to leave me a VM or DM! Please do not take my characters' IC opinions as reflective of my own.
Bloodlily was finally done. With a heave of a sigh she walked over again. "Im done with my punishment, may I go now with no further punishments?" she asked politely keeping her tone steady. If her punishment wasnt accepted she would probably burst into a million pieces!

{ dang that was some hard work yesh my fingers are ded fr }
Blizzardsky was a bit angry that his younger companions on his patrol failed to report it. He had done that patrol but at this point, he didn't care enough to actually fight with Slatestripe so he went out and did the hunting he was instructed to do before coming back to Slatestripe with his three pieces of prey.

CLOUDPAW
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
➣ Bursting through the tall reeds that made RiverClan’s camp entrance, the curly-furred apprentice proudly trotted through the clearing with his head held high, various herbs clearly sticking out of his mouth. This herb patrol surely could’ve been done faster if he had just worked harder, but hey, this was better late than never, yeah? Cloudpaw wasted no time in poking his head into the medicine cat den, glancing around for a moment before ever so gently resting the herbs on the floor in front of him. “...Marigoldleap?” He meowed hesitatingly, still not comfortable whatsoever with referring to her rather than Fawnpaw when it came to medicine cat business, “I got some thyme and marigold like you said. So did Beestream and Sunstone!” As the seconds quickly ticked by, Cloudpaw felt more and more awkward just standing here, probably talking to himself. He didn’t have the right to put away these herbs into Fawnpaw’s storage, nor did he even know how to. Did they need to be organized a certain way? He didn’t know, but he didn’t want to mess with his best friend’s personal system. So for now, Cloudpaw would make sure the stalks of thyme and marigold flowers were put off to the side, in plain view for anyone to see, but also not in the general walkway of the den. With that, Cloudpaw departed and scrambled off elsewhere, flopping onto his side in a corner of the camp clearing and beginning to groom his unkept messy fur. It had been too long since the youth had taken the time to take care of that.

Just in the nick of time - it must've taken a little longer than expected - Gingerfrost padded back into camp with a bit of cobweb and feverfew. To be exact, one reed and one stick with cobwebs, and two feverfew... stalks? Well whatever it was called, it had some leaves and with white and yellow flowers on it. It fit the description. And the tabby was honestly looking forward to not be carrying this anymore, as it proved to be a more difficult feat in the long run. Nonetheless he couldn't exactly drop it just anywhere either. Finding Marigoldleap in the busy clearing, he padded up to the molly with Fogcloud and Dappledpaw presumably somewhere behind him, putting down the findings on the ground as to clear his maw. "Where do you want this?"
It might be a silly question - Gingerfrost was aware they had an herb storage - but he was taking precautions in the sense that who knew: perhaps something had to be done with them first or they found the wrong thing. Which he hoped wasn't the case.
Fogcloud quickly followed after, tail flicking back and forth as they dropped their 3 stalks of feverfew they had gotten. They hadn't been able to find any cobwebs at the time but they would go back out if it was needed. Their gaze flickered to Gingerfrost and then back to Marigoldleap.

The tortie apprentice trotted into camp behind Fogcloud and Gingerfrost. The herb patrol had somewhat cleared her mind and she enjoyed it. Now she could actually think about things...
She realized with a start that Gingerfrost was already talking to Marigoldleap about the herbs, and she quickly caught up.
