Make sure to congratulate Versailles on their promotion from c-mod in training to fully fledged chat moderator! They've worked very hard, and we can't wait to see where they go from here!
Patrols are due June 16th at 11:59pm EST
Extensions can be granted up until exactly three days after the deadline!
If you need to be replaced let me know by June 9th, 11:59pm EST.
Cats can carry a maximum of five (5) herbs, unless they have the Collector purrk.
READ THE BELOW
Remember: Every patrol member has to report, and in your report, provide a link to where the herbs were gathered. Patrol leaders, make sure to submit your patrol to the patrol menu. Failure to do so will invalidate the patrol and risk punishment of your character.

Sleepysunrise stretched from atop her perch, leaping down with deft little paws, barely disturbing the ground as she landed. She hadn't been feeling quite herself these days, more put-off as if something was insistently wrong. She flickered her ear against a voice, treading forwards slowly.
"Rookfire, go get marigold and broom with Silverdusk and Wildpaw."
She knew Rookfire knew what marigold looked like, but showed the other two an example of the yellow flower. "Broom is a small shrub with glossy, thick leaves and sometimes a yellow flower, and thick brown stems. Do not mistake it with wild garlic, that one has multiple white flowers."
Although she wouldn't chew them out too much if they did. "Gather some rosemary if you find it, too. It's a tall plant with needle-like leaves and small purple flowers; it has a strong smell, so you can't miss it."
"Hm...Cedarcreek, Tickpaw, we are going to Darkwater Mire for elder flower and horsetail."
She pointed towards the horsetail she had brought out as an example, then spoke. "Elder flowers grow on thick, tall stalks that separate into many smaller stems with large clusters of little white flowers. The leaves can be a bit broad, too."
Oh. She almost forgot Miss Grandmama's rule; Sleepysunrise groaned for a moment, turning it into a sigh. "Briarsplash, you're with us."
She decided on the molly on a pure whim because she spotted her across the clearing. This made her patrols unbalanced, how annoying. Sleepy would be pouting about this for a while.
"Newtbelly, take Pumpkintoes and Shadowpaw to gather daisy and uprooted dandelion in Dawning Woods. Dandelion is a flat and round yellow flowers with many tiny petals and hollow stems. Daisy has long stems and many little white petals, and a flat yellow centre."
"Mudslide, go with Roachflare and Houndpaw to Evergreen Grotto for cobwebs and moss. I trust you know what those look like. Make sure to collect the cobwebs with a stick."
Okay, so her next victim had an ear issue - she remembered that much. She wasn't entirely sure if he was deaf or something, but just to be safe, she picked up a pebble and threw it at his head to get his attention. "Honeycomb. Mourning Ruins. Elkmane and Adderpaw. Lady's mantle and mallow."
She made sure to mouth the words out carefully before entering into her description of the herbs. If Honeycomb got confused, he could ask his patrolmates. "Lady's Mantle is a low-growing plant with broad, pointed leaves and clusters of tiny yellow flowers. Mallow has round and fuzzy pale green leaves with fuzzy stems and a soft pink coloured bloom."

Whoa, boy... they've got another energetic one. This one was almost like Bleedingpaw when that golden tom first started training.
The large she-cat raised a whisker brow as her name was called with—yep, you guessed it (was Mistlewhisker out to get her?)—Hillstrider, Blackberrybat, and Wildpaw. The latter of which was already bounding forward, stars in his eyes.
Briarsplash sniffed, regarding the 'paw with her usual cool stare. He hadn't said anything yet, surprisingly, but she swore that he was shaking as if he were freezing. No... just excited. She cleared her throat, giving a curt nod and nothing more.
Well... she should make sure of something first. Because it'd be really annoying to find out too late. As she waited for the other two warriors, she shifted on her haunches, peering down at the young one. Just apprenticed, no doubt. He was... small, to her.
"You know how to hunt yet, kid?" She grunted abruptly.

Oh, lucky her. Briarsplash was minding her own business, happy to be sitting in the sunshine and basking her fluffy pelt... when she heard her name called. Wha—? Oh, c'mon. She'd just done a patrol recently. And herb ones were... not her speciality (cue a montage of accidentally ripping flowers to shreds). But then again, it was Sleepysunrise, and no one was going to catch the Enforcer ignoring a direct order. If they needed her along, no doubt it was important... and she'd keep the grumblings to herself.
Sighing and heaving herself to her paws, she perhaps bore a similar slightly-annoyed expression as Sleepysunrise as she padded over. Part of her seemed confused as to why Sleepy would need her, given how stacked everyone was, but it wasn't the first time she'd been the medic's guard. So this was probably no different. You wouldn't catch her complaining, even if her expression was sour.
"Er... alright," she huffed, glancing at the... very small black-and-white she-cat. She always forgot how tiny Sleepysunrise was until she got here. For just a moment, her own shoulders felt far too big.
Ouch! Honeycomb shook his head from the pebble’s collision and swiveled to the source of the toss. Oh, must be the medicine cat. She must have something significant to announce. While his pale green eyes are focusing on the medicine cat’s mouthing, his fur bristled.
Oh, Stars. Why him?
He couldn’t just straight off lead a patrol when he’s acoustically impaired! He couldn’t just embarrass himself towards his patrol members because of this! He should’ve complained and wanted her to replace him with someone else, but he couldn’t make it happen. He just gives in.
With a beaten nod, he looks around and eyes to the two cats whom he should head off to the Mourning Ruins with.
Newtbelly yawned, taking a big stretch in the clearing. Sleepysunrise was calling patrols. He wondered if she'd send him or not. He was often on them, to be fair, but the past two times he'd returned to the medic's rather disgruntled face. His ears twitched hearing his name. Pumpkintoes and Shadowpaw. He couldn't say he knew either of them, but he supposed he would soon. Dandelion and daisy - he hadn't encountered either of those before. No examples this time, either. Which was fine, he just... Needed to focus, to remember the descriptions properly. Round yellow flowers, hollow stems - long stems, with white petals. They seemed pretty simple. Hopefully.
He padded out, further into the clearing to wait for his patrol mates. "Ay, Pumpkintoes and Shadowpaw." He called, on the off chance that they didn't know him.

Purrks: Shadow Fiend
Flytail had been sitting in the clearing still thinking over what dawnstar had said he held no hard eelings towards mosstangle but he couldnt help but feel anger that his adrenaline had been seen as him holding back if he had not used that newfound injury were the results had been diffrent. He was jolted from his thoughts when he heard his name be called for a patrol. Padding over he looked around for his patrol he hated cats being late. What made him slightly supprised was having a younger patrol lead this was probably a test or just a way to rub salt in his wounds which one he wasnt sure. But he wouldnt take his anger out on anyone hed just have to wait until after to get some training from his brother

Not one. TWO PATROLS IN A WEEK? WITH ANOTHER ENFORCER!? Wildpaw heard his name called once again and came bounding, barely skidding to a stop in time to listen to Sleepysunrise's explanation. Whoa, that was a lot of details. He had never even heard of broom before. He was pretty sure someone mentioned garnish before, though. Wait, that's not the right word...
"Small shrub, glossy leaf, yellow flower, brown stem. Small shrub, thick leaf, yellow flower, thick stem." He mumbled to himself, trying to remember it. He didn't dare try memorizing the rosemary, because then he'd certainly get them mixed up. "Thick shrub... Thick leaf... thick flower... no, wait. purple... uhm...Brown stem..." It only got worse from here as he whispered a several mixes of confusingly and almost impressively different combinations until it was unrecognizable from the original.

Ohhhh, Wildpaw was pretty sure THAT was Briarsplash! She was already here! Almost as quick as him! His excitement could not be quelled as she dipped her head to him and he returned the gesture, any cool or aloofness completely lost on him. SHE ACKNOWLEDGED HIM! The excited shaking was getting worse, in a way that certain tiny dogs wished they could compare with.
"YEAH! Morningpaw taught me how to hunt when I was still a KIT! It was SO NICE! He's my best friend, now, and our nests are RIGHT next to each other so we can talk and bug each other and I can sneak up on HIM, now! OH, Let me show you!" And with that, the apprentice dropped into a very sloppy, but somewhat familiar, crouch. His balance was pretty badly thrown off by his trembling.
If anyone really knew, he looked exactly as a kit would look practicing stalking in a camp with hardly anything to worry about. The main reason he was quiet was because there were certainly no leaves or twigs to step on, not because he was good at it. At least he had the form down, more or less.

PumpkinToes eyes flicked towards the clearing at the sound of her name. me? They call PumpkinToes twice? How strange
She peaked her head towards the cat, a lighter colored cat with a strange pattern like her own maybe that meant they were fated freinds!
Carefully she crept towards them making no effort to hide her strange half crouched shuffling around the edge of the clearing before finally stopping in front of the tom, her tail raised in a happy greeting. "you call me? For what? Have you called to discuss the similarities of our fur? Or perhaps the rising outsider threats? Ohh or the beautiful flowers this moon?"
Flowers yes flowers.... flowers... OH
It nearly very nearly slipped her mind that she heard two calls of her name, sleepysunrise give her permission to gather flowers, well on a patrol with others but at least this time there was no rookfire to ban her from them.
She nodded to herself yes this was much better then hunting prey she thought.

Silverdusk walked up to Wildpaw who was already awaiting the patrol, and she sat. Her deep blue gaze watched across the gathered cats, awaiting Rookfire to show up.
