Midnightpaw Shadowclan
She/her 95/100
Midnightpaw trotted over, standing near the back of where the crowd had begun to grow. She needed something to work towards, and she felt that there had been no opportunities open to her until Mossfreckle had called for volunteers, it was a perfect opportunity! So, of course, she had arrived.

Rainpaw bounded up towards the medicine cat with a hopeful expression. She didn't know Mossfreckle well, but her mama worked closely with him, so he had to be a good cat, right? She tilted her head to the side a little as she approached, listening to the herbs that would need to be gathered. With enough cats, they can restock the supplies! She was sure of it! Perhaps, she could learn a couple more herbs too! A win-win!

This cat was soooo good at sending shivers down his spine. What for?!? Why did he always get this way around the pretty kitty?? He didn't understand the emotion that pulled at his chest and brain. Trying his best to contain the emotion, Fogwatcher would pad after Mossfreckle like a lost puppy.
Taking up a spot beside the oriental, the tom felt his pelt tingle beneath the eyes that would be watching the duo in front of the group. Pushing off the feeling, he focused solely on Mossfreckles voice, finding solace in the others voice. He'd murmur his agreement to come along with him. Of course he'd come! Fogwatcher would always be ready to help, especially if it was Mossfreckle.

GROUSEPAW THE TRAILBLAZER "the sky above us shoots to kill. rain down, rain down on me."
[open]
grousepaw, on idle paws, found himself trotting over to join the gathered cats. desperate to do something- to help the people he grew up beside and watched with once star-struck eyes, then with criticism. he could hate the sin, love the sinner. he could have both.
and he did. with a long yawn escaping his jaws, he ran his tongue over his teeth as an old habit and trotted up to the group. he'd found a new respect for mossfreckle over the past few days. all things considered, the meddie had had his paws full to to the brim with just about everything. herbs, injuries, and probably leagues more that grouse realized he was ignorant to. it left one to wonder what it all entailed.
he still had to get some sharp words in against mistle for her abandonment of him- the feelings still festered and burnt like hot stones under his paws, and made him want to flinch away from her every disappointed look. she had no right to look at him with any such feelings- she'd tossed him aside for a quick power grab, and he'd expected that, but it still hurt like hell.
whatever. as long as this kept him busy until things settled down he'd be right as rain. he just needed some kind of something to do while camp-leaving rules were being enforced like sacrilege. something to bide time until he could effectively slink off and fall back into his solitary routine of waiting for night to crest and sneaking off to hunt or think, or explore or whatever it is he did out there, alone, in the dark before the rules got so tight and threatened to suffocate.

___________ pp perms given by @/ellie
It seemed like she would be seeing Mossfreckle a bit sooner than she anticipated! She’d been doing a whole lot of nothing, sniffing around and trying to get a feel for her new surroundings, but hearing the voice of the healer calling for assistance instantly dragged her attention from the menial task. When she looked over, she saw Mossy next to Fogwatcher. Again. A flash of irritation ran through her features but she quickly pushed it down. She was perfect. There wasn’t a jealous bone in her body.
As she approached, she saw Runt doing something. Well, that something was more like shuffling to the back. DId she really think she could avoid taking up the brunt of the work by hanging out in the back of the crowd where she wouldn’t be noticed? Eyes narrowing slightly, the tricolor tabby decided she’d have to chat with her apprentice about that later on. Disappointing is what that was. Oh well.
Confidently – boldly, Hazelstripe sauntered up to the other side of the medicine cat and gently pressed into his flank. ”Hey Mossy~” She cooed softly, gently nuzzling his shoulder ”Is there anything I can help you with~?” Amber orbs batting in a captivating fashion as she looked up at the lanky tom, she gave him her sweetest smile. Then almost as if seh didn’t notice, she looked over his back at Fogwatcher in mock surprise. ”Oh and would you look at you? Aren’t you absolutely gorgeous as well~ I do hope we can get along~” She purred in a smooth tone. Within her introduction of sorts there was a hidden threat, one that wasn’t overwhelmingly obvious but what she really meant was ”Don’t get in my way” with the slightest of subtones suggesting ”I’ll make you mine too”.
Hazelstripe had officially claimed both of these cats as hers, at least for now, and with that it meant that she would be devoting her full attention into winning their affections for herself.

Fallenmoon gave a gentle grunt. The deaf Tom didn't know exactly what to do but looking around he gave a gentle, confused mrrow. Asking once again for something to be repeated... just something for him to understand what they need and why. Fallenmoon looked around and just ended up following the cats, the large Tom gazed around with his large brown hues and flashed a look around his clanmates. His eyes begging for an explanation. Deciding to keep calm and not panic about whatever they were doing, Fallenmoon blinked and shook his fluffy pelt out.
Fallenmoon sniffed around, he scented a mouse and had an urge to follow it. But as he was following Mossfreckle, he wasn't so stupid to not get the hint they were hunting herbs and not prey. Though hunting prey would be nice no? Whatever, his clan needs him to get herbs..... now he just needs to find out which herbs. And the uses of them would be good to. He learned what Marigold looked like and what it was used for with the help of Springblossom, his seemingly only friend. Midnightpaw was also up there, the happy looking little apprentice had helped him on his very... confused patrol. Perhaps Midnightpaw was around here? If not, Fallenmoon would just end up looking away, stopping when others stopped and keeping an eye out for herbs he'd seen before. He knew some of the herbs could help his adoptive mother, Mothcloud. Mothcloud's new mate Iceclaw seemed like a serious and scary guy. But whenever mother got close he turned into a scary ball of white fluff, but with softness in his blind eyes. Fallenmoon wanted to get to know Iceclaw more but couldn't figure out how. One was blind the other was deaf. They could learn much from each other but.... how?
Shaking his head Fallenmoon got away from his thoughts about family and... very few friends. He eventually spotted a plant, it looked cool enough, perhaps it was an herb? Looking at Mossfreckle the black furred Tom didn't know whether to tap them, or call out to them.. but if he called out to the medicine cat it I=might come out weird, and to double the embarrassment. What if it was just a weed?

Re: [ Herb Gathering Event ] well stocked and well of mind
Pigeonpaw
The Collector - active
[510 words]
More cats gathered around and soon they all headed out. It struck Pigeonpaw that she had never been on a proper patrol before. The only times she'd been outside of camp had been for her tour of the former territory, a few training sessions, and then last time when they moved, but never like this. Actually, she wasn't sure if this could be counted as a patrol, since the other patrols she'd seen be sent out were like "go here, get me this" or "mark this border", "go here and hunt or something". Today they were all out as a group so it was more... like an event? Pigeonpaw bounced after the medicine cat. Did it matter what it was? Not really, so time to focus on herb-hunting!
Evergreen Grotto, mass patrol, stay within yowl's length. Got it. Also, "grotto" seemed like a very funny word to Pigeonpaw for some reason. Not the word itself but it sounded so funny to say. "Grotto, grotto, grooottttto..." Ok, time to search for herb! Pigeonpaw took note of the description of her herbs and then trotted off like everyone else. She wouldn't have minded being with a group to be able to chit chat while they searched and also walking a little bit further away, but this was fine too.
Blessed Thistle, Boneset, Borage, and a bunch of other b-named herbs. Were just a lot of plants' names ones that started with B? or had 'Freckles intentionally picked ones that were. She looked around a bit as others to also started looking for the herbs to kinda... copy their technique and all that stuff. She didn't now exactly what one was supposed to do, and so far she hadn't spotted someone like Palesong or Yellowtwist who could tell her exactly what to do, so it was time to pull her famous learn-by-mimicking strategy!
It worked pretty well like usually and the grey apprentice quickly began to pick up on how everyone else was doing it. Checking under other plants seemed to be a common strategy which Pigeonpaw also chose to employ, and also started sniffing around. What would the herbs even smell like? Not like prey, surely. Maybe like moss and pine? But the flowers that Pigeonpaw had spotted around the nursery had a much sweeter scent, so maybe a few of the herbs would also smell like that? It was worth a shot to sniff for something like that, but Pigeonpaw also tried to keep her eyes peeled, just in case a few of the herbs didn't have as strong of a scent or weren't close enough to smell properly. She usually had a thing for finding things, so this shouldn't be too hard, even if these were herbs and not her usual trinkets like pebbles. Well, mostly pebbles, actually, there weren't a lot of interesting items around camp, but she had been planning to ask some warrior to accompany her to go outside of the camp to allow her to search there. Anyway, finding some herbs shouldn't be that hard, right?
