Hawkbite trotted back into the camp with Owlthroat and Newtbelly nearby. It felt productive and he was eager to approach Dawnstar about the duo. The Commander searched out the deputy, grinning slightly when he laid eyes on her. He'd saunter over and chirp a pleasant greeting, mostly prying a reaction from her. "Hey gorgeous."
He'd attempt to dodge any swat or recoil from the she-cat before continuing on with his report. Hawkbite would even dare to sit close enough that their pelts nearly touched as he stared at the camp entrance from the spot they were at. "Nothing to report from Herondive Hollow. Fairly boring, though I do believe we might have two new Enforcers upcoming," he mused.
Sleepysunrise
[ 13 moons | She / Her | Shc Enforcer | Shadow Fiend ]
With the group assumed to be on her tail, Sleepysunrise turned back an eye at them to dismiss the disgruntled apprentices with a flick of her tail before moving towards Mistlewhisker, whom she greeted with a painfully slow blink. "Done."
She tilted her head. "RiverClan. They marked the border, recently. That is all."
SQUIRRELRISE she/her. 16 moons. small, scarred russet molly with brown markings and yellow eyes.

leading the patrol back to camp, squirrelrise dismisses bluebellbrook and wormpaw with a sway of her tail before approaching mistlewhisker. "the patrol...went well..there were no issues. just...v-very quiet."

Sleepysunrise and Squirrelrise reported no issues, and each were dismissed with a nod and murmur of thanks. This was exactly why she trusted the two mollies to lead impromptu patrols.
Hawkbite arrived not long after, but he insisted on needling her any chance he got. The moniker "gorgeous" was met with an unimpressed stare, brow raised as he came to sit next to her. Her pelt twitched reflexively as their sides brushed, but she didn't pull away. His news was great, though. "New Enforcers, hm? Good. Owlthroat and Newtbelly are good candidates." It was well past time to fill the positions left by their losses. She only hoped the two toms would prove more useful and resilient than their predecessors.

With the rats and snakes taken care of and the prey from the hunting event running low, Mistlewhisker decided it was a good time to send out mass patrols again. The Deputy leapt up onto the first branch of the Grimpeak, scanning the camp with a pale eye before opening her jaws and summoning the clan.
"ShadowClan! Gather at my paws for patrols!" "Hunting patrols up first." The Deputy called before launching into her carefully made groups.
[OPTIONAL PROMPT: THE SKY IS FALLING!!! Just kidding, it's just pine cones. Don't get hit!]
"Tuftedtusk [ @Aroogi ]," Mistlewhisker sought out the Enforcer in the crowd. "Take Silentpaw [ @Star ], Darkfall [ @Dark ], and Duskpaw [ @c1nder ] to Darkwater Mire. The waters will be cold, make sure not to fall in."
[OPTIONAL PROMPT: Yikes! Looks like the frost has made the ground wet! Careful not to slip!]
[OPTIONAL PROMPT: Look at all those chickens! (Turkeys. They're definitely turkeys.) While rare in the marshes, the Dawning Woods is dry enough for the large fowl to poke around and gobble (wiggles eyebrows) up seeds. Can cats even take down birds that big...? Maybe if you work together you can get one!]
Mourning Ruins was off limits due to the owl nest, so Mistlewhisker's last hunting patrol would be to the Evergreen Grotto. "Briarsplash [ @squidz ], take Sootstorm [ @anika ], Wispypaw [ @Kix ], and Marigoldpaw [ @Witchy Madelaine ] to Evergreen Grotto." Marigoldpaw needed to work on her requirements to become a warrior again unless she wanted to be cast out from the clan. ShadowClan had no room for slackers.
[OPTIONAL PROMPT: Holy cow... or more accurately, holy deer! You probably won't be able to take one on, but they sure are nice to look at! Try not to get stampeded, please...]
Border patrols next. Hawkbite, Sleepysunrise and Squirrelrise had already lead patrols to check them recently, but ShadowClan had enough cats to do another round of patrols. This was where the two newest Enforcers would get the first of many trials to prove themselves. But leading patrols should be easy for them.
"Newtbelly [ @sleepyyjax ], head to Herondive Hollow with Turtlepaw [ @FruitBatz ] and Quillpaw [ @idia ]." She was sure she could count on her remaining apprentice to give her an honest reaction to Newtbelly's patrol-lead skills.
[OPTIONAL PROMPT: thunk! What was that? THUNK! OUCH! Are those... squirrels...? throwing acorns at you? Er, half-eaten ones at that.]
"Gutsgnaw [ @wolfie ], take Hawkwasp [ @Clamfish ] and Palepaw [ @goodacacia ] to Whispering Wetlands." The new warrior was typically reliable, and she was sure bite wouldn't let itself fail a patrol again.
[OPTIONAL PROMPT: Somebody's been busy! Watch your step, since it seems a lot of rodents have made their burrows nestled along the border's trees!]
[OPTIONAL PROMPT: Crunch! Looks like some shallow puddles froze over! Great for stomping!]
"If there is an issue with your assignment, come to me. Dismissed." With that, Mistlewhisker leapt down from her perch and sat under the shelter of the Grimpeak.
Mudslide had been chosen to lead another patrol, a third of the way full of cats she had no idea existed and probably didn't even know of her until today. Also, what was it with the deputy and making her lead cats? She was hoping that wasn't implying anything... She was normal, she was boring, and she didn't want to be anything remotely special, that would ruin the whole point of everything.
Still, the warrior was the first to pad up to the patrol spot, as always, keeping her head low and her bushed up tail twined around her trembling paws.
She surely hoped nothing startling would come out of this patrol. Just some good hunts... that's all. Then, she realized with a jolt, that her apprentice had yet to learn how to hunt. The warriors would've groaned in frustration if she could. How nicceeee. Hopefully the other apprentice had some sort of knowledge about hunting.
Owlthroat
he/him | Shadowclan Enforcer | 42 moons Killer Aptitude T3 - Just A Scratch - Silver Tongue T2 The Dancing Bird
The newly promoted warrior made his way over at Mistlewhisker’s call. A patrol, all to himself. The tom’s mind was already swarming with the way he’d like this to run. Smooth and efficient, make his mark automatically known. Newtbelly had a patrol to run too but that didn’t come as a surprise, it would be interesting to see how he fared. But he had proved himself time and time over by now.
The Riverclan border, he wasn’t a fan of the marshlands; the thick mud had a tendency to cling to his long fur. Messing up his usually meticulous grooming routine. Owlthroat’s yellow eyes narrowed as he scanned around him for Fishpaw and Irispaw, he’d met the former. Irispaw however was a new name to him, he only hoped that it wouldn't cause trouble. He’d keep a lookout.
The air had been getting much colder, it wouldn’t be long until prey became scarce. Many critters had already begun their burrows and soft nests, somewhat akin to Shadowclan. But prey wasn’t their main priority, the borders were. Ensuring the Fishlegs never strayed too far. His nose scrunched impatiently, as soon as his patrolmates arrived, they’d be off.
Patrols. He was grateful for something to do. Not that he'd led a patrol before, but it was only borders, right? What could go wrong? Well, many things, he knew that. But it was best not to think about that. He knew Herondive Hollow well enough. His patrolmates were two 'paws, neither of which he knew. Hopefully, they wouldn't be too troublesome.
The tom padded closer, taking a spot in the clearing. "Over here for Herondive Hollow," he waved his tail, hoping to gain the apprentices' attention, that is, if they were in the clearing. If they weren't, well, he'd look quite silly, wouldn't he?

Tuftedtusk nodded to the deputy and made his way to the camp entrance.
He would wait for his patrol, grooming his pelt in the meanwhile, tail flicking.

Silentpaw quickly made his way out of the Apprentices' Den and joined Tuftedtusk at the camp entrance, giving the Enforcer a light dip of his head before sitting down a distance from him and taking the time to run his tongue over his fur a couple times.

At the sound of Mistlewhisker calling her name, Sootstorm's ears perked up and she turned her gaze to the ShadowClan Deputy. Quickly finishing the starling that she had been eating - not too fast to avoid a trip to Mossfreckle's den - the gray-and-white she-cat got to her paws and made her way over to her Clanmate.
Dipping her head respectfully to Mistlewhisker, Sootstorm took a seat and waited on Briarsplash, Wispypaw, and Marigoldpaw. As she waited, she took the time to give her thick pelt a quick wash.
