•·.·''·.·•bramblethorn found this event a lil late huh? no worries, she managed to nudge petelpaw in the apprentice den "there's a event! if you want you can come" she mewed before backing up and going to join the gathering cats, hopefully petelpaw woke up. "hello rookfire!" she meowed a bit loud when she saw the tom...•·.·''·.·
Oakpool is the current Healer of BloodClan, he has a Semi-Closed Den Vm me for healing. BatClaw is the current Deputy of Bloodclan @ me if he is needed. NightStar is the current leader of Nightclan, @ me if he is needed, Sage and saguaro are Alphas of their skulls, @ me if they are needed.
Briarsplash was more than pleased at the outcome. A lot more cats showed up than she'd anticipated; good thing most of them already knew how to hunt, and were here to help support the Clan. She was no less pleased to spy Dawnstar and Mistlewhisker among them, and... hey, even Sleepysunrise.
Upon seeing the scarred leader, and some others with recent injuries like Flytail and Hazycry, she'd almost begrudgingly wondered if she should tell them to back off. But similarly to Rookfire's thoughts, once she saw Sleepy, she was more than fine to kick back. Hey, if the medic thought they were fine, then good. And if any of them tore open a scabbed wound, she'd be right there, eh?
The Enforcer's golden-green eyes surveyed the crowd silently beside Rookfire. Then she glanced over at him, the faintest of smirks on her maw — something akin to brute humor. "You wanna split 'em up?" she offered. One, because she didn't like speaking any more than she had to. And two, Rookfire was much more vocal (comparatively) when it came to asserting himself. He'd probably want a shot at this whole organizing... thing. Was she imagining the eagerness in his eyes?
She figured he'd be smart enough to offer himself (or her) for training if anyone needed tips and tricks on how to hunt, and specifically at night. Otherwise, they could send the others off willy-nilly through the forest and hunt to their heart's content, or whatever he'd wanna do. With this crowd, they should be drawing in a good amount of prey, unless everyone totally bombed it. This would be a good opportunity to make up for any slackers on Mistlewhisker's recent hunting patrols, eh? Maybe a nice little feast afterwards would be in order.
"Go for it," Briarsplash grunted after a moment, sweeping her tail to let Rookfire take the stage. It gave her a moment to look around one more time for a... certain orange pelt. No, she wasn't... disappointed, or anything. Pfft.
( thank you all for joining ! next post will be rook organizing this happy crowd, so sit tight. there's still a few hours left for us western time-zoners if anyone else wants to join last minute ^^ )

she has a semi-closed den policy.
gulp. it appeared rookfire had summoned mistlewhisker as well. the enforcer didnt let that throw him off the imaginary path just yet, even if anxiety crawled up his back. silver eyes flicked to briarslash as she spoke, putting up a calm exterior. "yes" the tom gladly accepted the offer. he'd wanted to do as much anyway, though unwilling to crash briarsplashs flow of speech or any plans she mightve made without his input.
he let his eyes skim the crowd once more before clearing his throat and raising his voice. "alright, apprentices first, organise yourselves into groups or keep in mind who's group youre in id hate to repeat myself" he barked, subsequently drawning attention back to briarsplash and himself.
"deerclaw, basspaw, shadepaw, emberpaw youre gonna come with me" was it a bit mean to pick the, in his opinion, less complicated apprentices (spar deerclaw)...probably. but he preferred his own apprentice and emberpaws overall quiet nature over houndpaw in a group setting, sorry not sorry.
"that means weepingpaw, petalpaw, houndpaw n bunnypaw go with briar" the even split in apprentices was very much welcome, easier to explain than if he gave his own group more of them. once the apprentices seemed to have somehow gotten their assigned group into their noggins he continued, this time assigning warriors sort of randomly.
all apart from dawnstar, in that case he was almost tempted kindly put her in briarsplashs group in order to avoid walking on eggshells the whole time but changed his mind last minute. he had never known himself to be particularly smart so who was even surprised he'd assign dawnstar to his own group in an attempt to get back on her good -or at least neutral- side.
"dawnstar, mistlewhisker, blackjaw, you'll be with me, as well as lynxpelt, twilightflame, blazebreeze, timberlake and bramblethorn" honestly he barely knew half of these cats by sight let alone name so itd be a quick test of memory for him every time he'd have to remember one of their names.
"that leaves flytail, silverdusk, smokefern, sleepysunrise, hazycry, falconsplash, honeycomb and newtbelly with briarsplash" even though he hadnt actually intended for that to happen, it appeared both injured cats (apart from dawnstar) had sorted themselves (via rookfires brain) into the same group as sleepysunrise.
with that, rookfire decided this part of the event done and turned to lead them out of camp.

⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ Houndpaw was content with cuddling his sister, perhaps he might've even dozed off himself until something soft hit gently against his shoulder. He paused, eyes taking a brief glance to discover a sleepy Weeps resting on him. The quiet purr coming from him turned into a loud, motor-like rumble.
He leaned over to gently lick his brother's forehead before doing the same to Emberpaw. Back and forth the apprentice went, eyelids beginning to droop as the cozy warmth coaxed him into a sleep. ZzzzzzZzzz.
It was only at the summon of his name did Houndpaw jolt up straight, golden eyes dancing around in the midst of his confusion. (He stared at MistleMa in surprise - where'd she come from!) Right! Hunting! His tail swished back and forth, tilting his head. Uhm. Where was Burr? Mama? He liked having Weeps in his group but what he did not like was being separated.
He gave a small nudge against Weepingpaw with his nose before skittering out from underneath. He stood in front of his family - opening his jaws only to realize a Sleepysunrise had appeared, too. Eek! Houndpaw darted forward, attempting to affectionately bonk one of her legs before pulling back.
"Rooks makes bad groups. You all come with me instt..tt-t.-t.." Houndpaw's voice trailed off, coming to a block at the word 'instead' which he decided to abandon, "Hunt with me? P-please?' He requested with a smile, tail wagging excitedly. It wasn't like they didn't have warriors on Rookfire's team. It was fine.

Everyone was joining, it seemed. Emberpaw was content to be surrounded by his family. When Rookfire and Briarsplash made groups, Emberpaw frowned when he was separated from his brothers. He was happy to be with Mother and Mistle, yes, but it was a shame his brothers couldn't come. However... Emberpaw was a little excited to get to spend some one-on-one time with his Mother. "We have to be separate," Emberpaw meowed to Houndpaw, "because we will hunt all the prey and no one else will get to catch any." He nodded sagely. "Wouldn't stand a chance. Besides, you have Sleepysunrise. She's just as cool." It was a blatant lie but Emberpaw had never claimed to always be truthful when it came to making his siblings happy.
Mistlewhisker looked on, tail swishing the ground behind her in slow, lazy sweeps. Hm... perhaps patrols could wait until later tomorrow. Maybe she would be nice. Maybe.
