RiverClan Clearing

[Minkuu]

Emberfang
Riverclan warrior | He/she/they | Shadow Fiend [Active]

Emberfang walked outside of the warrior's den then he was suddenly back in his little corner in the clearing. Whoops. And he's totally not watching anyone at all. At least he tries to make it not too obvious. Well he's definitely not being out on any patrols or anything else, so he has a bunch of time on him to spend. He could go on a walk, maybe hunt something. But he could do that later, no? Not that he doesn't want to...but...well maybe a little because he doesn't to. He makes an exaggerated sigh, but the smile stappled on his face says otherwise. He's not apart of any drama that'll destroy his impression (or any sort of drama, in fact), and it's a pretty good and chill day for him today. Surely no one'll ruin this for him, c'mon he's literally hiding how'll anyone see him?

Ghostpaw(3/100)


Ghostpaw looked around for his mother, his fur softly ruffled. He hadn't hung out with his mother in a while..."Mama?" He said softly as he approached his mother, who he was a sputting image of.

"and you say that is if you arent guilty of the same crime" he added, finally succumbing to the joke as it replayed in his head and a giggle escaped his pokerface.

"imma be honest with ya', i really dont like yer apprentice" he confessed, not oblivious to the fact that garlicfeather had just pointed out the elders complaining about apprentices bit but unwilling to come back to that topic unless provoked. "not surprised you cant get 'em to training, 'been on a patrol or sum' with em n she was a real pain, 'cant imagine what trainin would be like"
"ya remember when ca-" he swallowed, previously light tone growing a bit more serious and less giggly and floaty, "remember when i was jus' apprenticed? 'couldnt keep me away from training eh?" jayfrost repeated, correcting his sentence along the way, sure to put emphasis on the i and me. he cleared his throat, it was stupid, he was stupid, but the slip up threatened to make him sound all choked up, reflecting the wave of negative emotions that had flooded him at the accidental almost-mention of his brother.

"'s'long as youre still trying to get them to train its fine i guess. personally didnt really see anything of flutterpaw" the tabby began, finally turning to lay on his side again, silver fur coated in a generous amount of dust from rolling around on his back, " was too busy getting my leg snapped by bumblestar," he added with a halfhearted snort, "but, i dont know man, maybe they were just, i dont know, bad?" he stumbled his way through the sentence, offering a halfassed conclusion and a shrug.

Garlic Feather
Purrks; Just a scratch| Beefed up tier 2|
He-Him { River Clan } Warrior

GarlicFeather snickered and as he was whacked he made a poor attempt to move out of range of said whack, which failed. ‘Serious as how fast your fur is turning grey?’ GarlicFeather joked, he liked to joke but he wasn’t always good at jokes. Too much fuss to be good at jokes and worry about if the other would get it for him personally. Maybe he was thinking too much about jokes. ‘Sure, no tick will ever get you JayFrost the elderly. Now how about some fresh bedding so you don’t need to complain about your joints. And I’m a mentor I’m pretty sure my job is to yap complaints about what my apprentice can’t do. But when it’s to their face theres usually more constructive criticism.’ GarlicFeather maintained a grin up until the apprentice thing was brought back up and he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of annoyance, mostly at said apprentice. ‘Personally, Toad Paw is.. well I haven’t had the chance to even figure out what they’re like the furthest we got was the reassignment and thats it. I’ve been working my rear off trying to adapt training to their needs so it’s all figured out and everything only for them not to show up.’ GarlicFeather honestly preferred complaining now well he could, perhaps if he and toad actually made a start he wouldn’t need to. Heck he’d defend his apprentice if anything but he couldn’t necessarily do that when they were stomping on all the good he was supposed to be saying about the, it really wasn’t his fault here. Hearing about the patrol thing only brought more doubts to GarlicFeather, yikes what a way to make a bad day feel worse now learning he might possibly have been stuck with an incompetent apprentice. Great now he’d have to be all snappy and shove their attitude into line so his reputation wasn’t smooshed. ‘Well I suppose I’ll just have to beg starclan that i get a version of ToadPaw that isn’t a pain. Stars forbid I have to be some sort of strict no-nonsense mentor and shove whatever attitude they have away.’ GarlicFeather grumbled before he blinked, confusion clouding him at the cut off, but he didn’t want to be nosy so he didn’t poke for information. ‘Oh yeah, stars it makes me wonder how you didn’t just do the whole training thing in one day with how much you were out and ‘bout.’ GarlicFeather shifted slightly, had it grown a little quiet or was it just him? Maybe it was just him, attempting to shrug it off he nodded in agreement at the first part, then back onto apprentices again. ‘Stars you’ve a real knack for complaining about apprentices, no wonder why you’re allowed to complain ‘bout them all you want! And look at all the dust on ya’! Maybe those ticks will get to you twice as soon.’ GarlicFeather couldn’t help but put a lighter mood on, best to avoid dark topics in a mood like this. It was all in a joking matter of course, but also. He didn’t really want to linger flutterpaw as much anymore, especially not after having his apprentice called ‘bad’. Yikes. What was a topic he always looked to in moments like these? ‘Uhh- say, do you know the difference ‘tween a stone and a rock? And speaking of rocks, how would you feel ‘bout rock hunting with me later on I’m getting tired of piling up pretty rocks with no cat to show em off to. And It’s not like i’ve anything better to do.’ rocks, smooth sailing from here, a topic GarlicFeather really knew his way around and an easy distraction from all the apprentice talk.

Fallenpeak

➳༻❀✿❀༺➳

Fallenpeak quietly broods to herself, thinking about her plans for the day. There's not much she wants to do today, so it should be pretty calm, a day full of relaxing and maybe some hunting. Actually, relaxing is dumb, she'll just go hunting and see if anycat needs some help from her. She scrunches up her face, she should rephrase that; she'll help cats that don't get on her nerves... maybe. That sounds more like her, much better. The beautiful molly's soft features twist in a slight scowl, she never did like her face, it makes her seem childish. She huffs a sigh as she lifts herself up out of her sitting position, padding over to the fresh-kill pile. She hasn't eaten yet, so she might as well grab a bite before setting out into the forest for some hunting. She finds a sparrow that was on the top, bringing it to a shady spot in the clearing (even though the sky is overcast, so technically it's all a shady spot). Fallenpeak settles down, laying on her stomach as she chomps down on her prey, after she finishes she'll go hunt.

The silver tabby was just going about her day when her attention was drawn to Blackfeather, a cat who’d been gone for a while and now suddenly appeared in camp again. She furrowed her brows and bounded over, tail lashing a little bit. Things like these were so annoying! Still, she did suppose it was her job as a lionheart to stay calm during these situations and think of the best solution. "Blackfeather," she hissed. "You've been gone for a while, and then you thought you could just waltz back into camp like nothing ever happened or somethin'? Care to explain?"

[ @RoboPrism blackfeather went missing in the activity sweep from the 3/15 to the 4/1 and then was posted without doing a rejoining, so misty is confronting her. apologies for any trouble ]

~Blackfeather~
Female, 27 Moons
RIVERCLAN - Warrior
A starless-night black, short-haired she-cat, with vicious deep-blue eyes.
Family: Sister of Duststorm.

"Hey," she bristled her fur, squinting her eyes, "my hairball of a sister went missing, and it's family-obligation or what-not to look for them right? Well I just saw her slink all the way back with that other hairball, so I'm taking a nap in a den now if you don't mind."
She tried trotting away with a flick of her tail and a comment. "It was nice not being crowded in the camp for a while, too, so think of it as a stress release session or whatever." She huffed, scrunching her snout at her own words.
Stress release would be wringing somebody's neck...

(S'okay, the time just got by is all lol ;p)

Alarm darkened the molly’s eyes, but not before she turned to watch Cowebpaw back away. She cared about the kid, sure, but she wasn’t acting her age right now. And Bird could sympathize with that, she used to be very emotionally sensitive and all, but it would help a lot of Cobweb grew a backbone. Or at least learned to face her mistakes without tears.

So outsiders. Outsiders had done this to her deputy. She would ask more questions later but right now they had to try to track down the remaining perpetrator. ”Dusk, take some cats and try to track down who did this. Don’t stay out any later than sunset and only attack if you’re sure that they’re the one who did it… but other than that, if you find that rat who did that to Fadingsun, give ‘em hell.” RiverClan wasn’t to be messed with. Someone had made a fatal mistake. She’d go to, but with no medicine cat and an unconscious deputy, either Dusk or herself would have to stay behind and as furious as Bird was, she was sure that Dusklion was even more pissed off.

Turning to Eaglepaw, she let out a sharp lash of her tail. ”Of course she didn’t.” She said shortly. Birdsnow was growing very tired of her Head Lionheart being disrespected; it reminded her of how Lark was treated. ”I’m sure you’re worried about your mentor, but Dusklion would never hurt him.” She was pretty sure. Very sure, actually. As mad as Dusk was at the meeting, Bird knew that deep down she loved her brother and even if she didn’t, she was loyal enough to the Clan to not harm the deputy that badly. Or at all. And if Eaglepaw wasn’t clearly so distressed and young, Bird would give her a tongue lashing for suggesting such a thing.

Turning her head to Fallenwish as the cat offered herself as bait, she shook her head slowly

”Fallenwish, I appreciate the offer, but we already know they’ll attack innocents on the border. Don’t want you gettin’ hurt when it’s not necessary.” Plus, the surviving attacker was probably long gone. Logically thinking, with the other two dead, that rogue was probably still running. But she couldn’t leave such a blatant and hostile attack unanswered.

Dusklion - RiverClan Head Lionheart
She/her | 27 moons | Go with the Flow, Beefed Up T3, Rapid Recovery, Shadow Fiend

As Cobs slunk off, teary-eyed, Dusklion felt concern slip underneath the Rage that took over most of her thought process. But she had to shake it away and focus on the situation at paw. There would be time later to figure out what the heck was up with the kid, but right now she had a potentially dying sibling to take care of. Fades was much more of a priority than anything else at the moment.

Alarm then sparked her pelt when Eaglepaw came full sprint, accusing her of being the one to do this. Dusk's eyes just widened at the accusation, staying silent as Mists went to comfort the kid. Birds added her voice too, which gave the dark tabby time to process everything else said.

She had just told Birds that the two were dead, the ones that had attacked Fades, but she barked orders of wanting her to find who did it. She had - and they were dead. But it was a little detail that Dusk didn't want to dwell on - her leader was giving her the go-ahead to organize a patrol to sweep the outsider border clear of threats, so she'd take it greedily.

The idea that Fallenwish offered made her look at her as if she were an invading ShadowClan warrior. "If you don't want to fight the rats that almost killed your deputy, then what the hell are you even doin' in RiverClan?? I'm sick 'n tired of cats around here rollin' over 'n showin' their bellies instead of using their goddamn claws!" Her voice was a roar as she lashed her tail. She had never understood the peace-loving cats, those who thought just by talking or not fighting that issues would resolve. "If all your plans involve not fightin' 'n just wastin' what little herbs we have, then do us all a favor and keep your mouth shut."

Perhaps if this wasn't her brother, Dusklion wouldn't be reacting this harshly. But hearing that this cat "wouldn't fight" if they came across outsiders who only wanted to harm them had her livid.

"Mistyshard, Wisteriaheart - you two come with me." Dusk was grateful that Mists was here - she was a strong fighter and would be a force to be reckoned with, and Wisteriaheart seemed to want to rip and tear, which was exactly what Dusk needed. Surveying the clearing with narrowed eyes, she took sight of two other warriors that had formidable fighting ability from what she'd seen. "Stagheart, Troutstone! We're goin' to secure our borders with the outskirts. Let's go."

Looking back to Birds, she fixed her leader with a steady gaze. "Fades has been through worse - he'll pull through this." Whether that was more for her leader or herself, Dusklion wasn't sure. Once the cats she had called gathered the dark tabby took off from camp, legs pumping and propelling her through the forest.
