'Tis the Season ( To be Hunting ) [ Hunting Event ]

WE'LL BUILD A FIRE IN YOUR EYES

── ⋅ ⋅ ── ! ── ⋅ ⋅ ──

SALAMANDERPAW . 9 MOONS . SHE/HER . RIVERCLAN

Salamanderpaw stomps on up to participate. She's leaving her attitude behind for this; hunting for the clan is vital and it doesn't require her big mouth to run.

Soaringpaw showed up

Songwave's blue ears swivelled at Seabreeze's call, and he wrinkled his brows in concern. He could hear the hurt in the tom's voice. The warrior had been close to the leader at the time of their death, and that would sit in the deep of them for a long time. But in that same sense he trusted Seabreeze's request, knowing that this extra hunting patrol would have come from Stormstar's own mouth, if they were still here. And because of that, Songwave knew he was needed. The clan, his leader, had always relied upon him for hunting and battle, so today would be no different. No more cats would be lost, if the tom could help it.

The blue tom stood up from his nest in the warriors den and brushed his white-tipped tail against his mates shoulder, nodding over to Seabreeze. He didn't use any words because he was confident that she had heard them, as she always does.

"I'll see if Smolderpaw wants to come too." The tom added, giving her an affectionate lick on the head before heading over to the apprentices den. He didn't see his apprentice in there anywhere, but he asked another apprentice nearby to pass on the message, in case he was out briefly at the dirtplace. He'd never been a mentor before, but he thought that, being in groups, he might be able to see what other cats do. Maybe this would be good for them?

Songwave padded over to the sand-brushed pelt in the middle clearing, "I am here to help Riverclan." He meowed. 'I always am.' He added in thought, sitting among the other cats who had joined to help.


( @Rose and @Omari you're both free to come along, don't worry if you can't make it though)

Duskpaw walked over.

Lavenderheart was inserted in hunting for the clan, she quietly walked over and quietly mewed “I’ll help!”.

Almondchatter
She/Her

Groggy blue eyes open as Songwave's warmth leaves her side. Where was the tom going at this time of day? At any time of day, actually. It was too cold to move around. Almondchatter had only barely begun to show, the innocentest swell when she lay on her side. For the most part, the Queen in question had barely taken notice, still content to snuggle into her lover's side in their shared nest when nights came. If Songwave noticed before her, that was uncertain.

Though if anything, Almondchatter had begun to feel a heaviness in her paws, along with the constant sleepiness, and the mood to do nothing but laze around, preferably at her mate's side, eyes half-lidded. Was she greedy to hunger for inaction and affection? Perhaps. But Songwave was leaving (more importantly, taking his warmth with him) for Seabreeze's hunting event, and Almondchatter had to suppress the pitiful whine of protest crawling up her throat as she pushed to her paws with a disgruntled huff.

Her grumbling dissipated a moment later to be replaced by a pleased smile when she received a lick to the forehead, and now sated for the current moment, Almondchatter ceased her grouching to follow her mate out into the open. Gah, she very much disliked the cold. Anyone who preferred it was inane.

— STAGHEART —

very large, muscular, & scarred light brown tabby tom with stark blue eyes and a torn ear; killer aptitude t3 | just a scratch

[ riverclan warrior | tomcat | 55 moons | gruff & battle-hardened, heart o’ gold; loyal to a fault ]

Stagheart was lost in thought. He was rather introspective for the gruff, simple front he often put off. And Stormstar's death had only spiked the need to think, the need to reflect, to... grieve. He'd grown over the plenty of moons in his life, but it was hard not to resort to that knee-jerk reaction, the coping mechanism he knew so well: anger. Rage. A need for revenge, and the iron will to get it done.

But, he had others to think about. Others to watch out for. And others to be the steady rock when they felt like collapsing. Stagheart couldn't afford to return to the dark places he'd often go in his youth; he couldn't afford to be vengeful. So it was with reasonable haste that he answered Seabreeze's call to hunt, the ex-Lionheart's words speaking to him. 'Allowing those who want to help, to help, while those in need of rest continue to do so.'

Stagheart was familiar with tragedy and pushing on. He was one of the ones who'd step up to help, to keep going, to keep thinking of what comes next and how they'd all survive to get there. Steeling himself, the battle-scarred tom heaved to his paws, nodding a silent greeting and acknowledgement to Seabreeze. Then he sat on the cold ground, waiting silently, stoic expression betraying nothing as he silently waited for the hunting to begin.

stonepaw, she/her, 8 moons
riverclan apprentice
a pale gray she-cat with dull blue eyes.
35/100

Stonepaw joined Seabreeze's hunting group. She was glad to see the warrior look less... well, he still seemed sad, but not as distraught as he had when Stormstar died. Or was he just hiding it?

She wanted to help her clan, since Stonepaw noticed as well how the freshkill pile was getting smaller. She didn't have any experience, besides her one hunting lesson... but even if she just caught one thing, that'd be able to feed someone.

She/Her | Purrk(s): Just A Scratch

It wouldn’t hurt to get some hunting in, would it? Wisteriawren sure hoped not as she tentatively inched out of her curled up position and into an upright one. Yep. She’d been sitting attentively this entire time.

RowanMane watched as more cats gathered around and the crowd grew. A certain cat padding over peaked his interest and a small smile flickered onto his face. She wasn’t okay…he knew how good of a friend Storm…Star was to her. He has to be there for her…like she was for him. He couldn’t spiral again. He had to make sure Wisty was okay…The warrior started padding WisteriaWrens way, weaving through the crowd carefully. ”Wisty…” he muttered as he went and nuzzled her shoulder, sitting beside her.
