Patrol time. And it was... Herondive Hollow? Was he cursed? For some reason, fate kept leading him there. Maybe it was a sign to stop hating it so much. But it was so... Dull. Not to mention so ThunderClan. Well, as long as squirrels weren't causing a fuss this time, he'd be happy.
He moved toward the centre of the clearing, sitting with his tail neatly wrapped around his paws. Darkfall... He scanned his mind, trying to remember the cat. Darkfall Darkfall Darkfall. Nope, nothing. Had he even been paying attention? Or was he just this bad with names? Cloverpaw he couldn't remember either, but blamed himself a little less, considering they were an apprentice.
a... patrol? the brown tabby apprentice blinked her eyes. alright. he got up from his spot, closing his half blind eye as he walked there before opening it. he dipped his head in greeting, looking around for the other patrol member. darkfall... cloverpaw didn't recognize that name. to be fair, the scarred apprentice didn't know newtbelly either. and herondive hollow? that was the thunderclan border. at least it was a place cloverpaw knew. the torn-up brown cat sat down, flicking a tattered ear as his green eyes looked around for the final patrol member.

➢ The Deputy lingered on the Grimpeak and it caught Hollowpaw's attention, ears perking at the sight...just incase. That hunch was correct, her eyes lock onto the large shecat as her mentor's name was spoken, her paws itching to jump up and join him...only for her hope to shattered by the Deput not calling her name alongside Hawkbite's but instead his....the demoted...the fallen. Hollowpaw feels her doubts boil underneath her skin as Mistlewhisker calls her name for a different group.
They were the last to be called, ha. Not forgotten yet, huh? Hollowpaw sighs, the cold air catching this and creating a cloud of bitter frost in the area. Bottle up the anger. The guilt. Everything. You have a job to do, so do it. Chewing her own emotions down into bits as Hollowpaw stands, awaiting the other two members of her patrol in silence. Sitting down a distance away from the Deputy as they tap a paw on the ground with slight impatience.
Briarsplash had reluctantly slunk out of the warm warrior's den to brace the cold and heed her deputy's call. As the large black-furred cat atop the Grimpeak spoke, the Enforcer blinked sleepiness away from her eyes and listened intently. She was just getting ready to rise to her paws and head back when she heard her patrol's name called last of all — and a border patrol this time, eh? She hadn't done one of those in awhile. At least she wouldn't be trying to scour for prey on a cold day like this, where most of them likely burrowed deep into their dens.
She flicked her ears in acknowledgement, though there was a strange twist in her chest. It felt almost like a joke (but also a... pleasant surprise, at the same time?) to hear Hillstrider's name called after hers. That energetic, enigmatic tom... or maybe he was just confusing to her and no one else. He'd better be on par with her today. Oh, what was she thinking. Hillstrider would be a boisterous companion and at least some entertainment while they were out in the cold, yeah? Maybe get her distracted from how much she'd rather be sleeping right now.
Shaking out her pelt and inhaling some of the brisk air to clear her head, Briarsplash saw Hollowpaw waiting... and rather impatiently. One of her whisker brows rose in silent question, though she didn't ask nor care to try. If the apprentice wanted to be impatient, let her. What, did she have some plans to tend to? They'd have to wait for the other two warriors anyway; Briar wouldn't make it a problem unless it became one.
Giving a curt nod in greeting to Hollowpaw, the fluffy she-cat sat down —pretending the ground wasn't damp and cold with a grimace — as she waited for their last patrol member. And she'd be lying to herself if she wasn't scanning the crowd of assembled cats for a bright orange pelt, one that stuck out like a brand of fire in the dark. Just to make sure he shows up, of course.

Another beautiful day in ShadowClan's territory! It was cold as hell, but Hillstrider was packed full of orange fur and Good Vibes, so he was perfectly warm. He was further warmed by the idea of going on a patrol with Briarsplash. Aw sick, he'd been wanting to hang out with her again! They had an apprentice with them, but that was all cool with Hillstrider. She'd probably hate his personality too, but Briarsplash had accepted him and that was all he needed!
"Yo yo yo, my dudes! Let's get this show on the road!" He trilled as he trotted up to them, yellow gaze lingering on Briarsplash for a moment too long.
Patrols are due December 30th 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 December 22nd, 11:59pm EST.
Cats can carry a maximum of five (5) herbs, unless they have the Collector purrk.
Remember: Please submit your patrol to the patrol menu! Do not log the herbs, as I will do that.
In your report, provide a link to the herb gathering post, including how many herbs were gathered! Failure to do so will make the patrol invalid and risk punishment of your character.
Apprentices, if your warrior companions do not show, find someone else to accompany them or inform Sleepysunrise directly!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
Sleepysunrise
[ 14 moons | She / Her | Shc Medicine Cat | Shadow Fiend ]
Granted, Miss Grandmama had said not to rely on Rookfire too much. Sleepysunrise understood why. A foreboding omen and a medic’s apprentice that never reached the full rank; even so, she would take the knowledge where she could, even if scepticism was a given. She blinked once, looking out over the clearing. She had seen Mistlewhisker do this so often. She felt a strange knot in her stomach. Did the deputy feel that way too? After she had cleaned out the old storage, the herb stores were depleted. Everything had been rotten. They needed herbs.
“Birdecho. Quietraven. Darkpaw. To Evergreen Grotto for moss and cobwebs. As many as you can find. You know what moss looks like. But… It likes moist and shade. Cobwebs are thin and flimsy. Sticky too. Be careful with those.”
“Mudslide, Squirrelrise… Duskpaw. To Darkwater Mire. Get Borage and Burdock Root. Borage has… Small purple flowers. Dark green leaves, and a lanky stem. Burdock is tall-stemmed with a prickly thing on top (a thistle), and has dark ruffled leaves. I want the roots with it.”
Of course, she didn’t think of mentioning the root’s numbing effect.
“Rockjaw, Embercloud, Mothcloud, to the general territory. Chervil, chickweed and boneset. Chervil’s light green, smells sweet and has fern-like leaves. The roots are a brown-white, I want both. Chickweed is bright green with cordate-shaped leaves arranged in a cluster. Boneset likes moist and sun. Triangular leaves grow in clusters on the stem with frilly white flowers at the top.”
“Silentpaw, Flytail, we’re going to Dawning Woods. We are looking for poppies, marigold and broom. Poppies are a tall-stemmed flower with thin red petals and a dark centre. Marigolds are ruffled and round, coloured yellow and orange. Broom is a shrub with smooth leaves, might have some yellow flowers. It has a thick brown or green stem and likes sunlight.”
Her eyes fell on the apprentice. Well, her apprentice now, by all technicalities. She should probably tell him about them later, if they’re going to be working together. After patrols. “I’ll tell you about them.”
She decided, once the apprentice had arrived.

Silentpaw was instantly present at the mention of his name, already repeating the appearance of broom multiple times in his mind to get it memorised. He knew the other two, but the last herb mentioned he wasn't quite familiar with.
"Appreciated." He nodded, sitting down. Who was he to say no to extra herb lessons?
Please feel free to bump me on any ongoing RPs, no matter how long it's been. I have ADHD and it gets really hard for me to keep track of all my RPs ^^

But why am I the one that has to pay?
herb patrols... ugh. WHY THE HELL WAS SHE DESCRIBING WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE? "unless you want me grabbing random plants, i'm gonna need a texture or scent to them. because unless you forgot, i'm blind. i cant see what youre describing." what a mess, was sleepysunrises' brain so cluttered with her fancy plants to remember anything else? being blind wasnt something she should just forget.
in any case, mudslide was a rather unfamilar cat to duskpaw, squirrelrise... she was on a a patrol with her once or twice. and she was the first one there other than silentpaw, who wasnt even on her patrol, again, unfamiliar, and didnt want her life in his paws.

Flytail padded over to where he saw Silentpaw he assumed Sleepysunruse would join them when ee she was done. He sighed he didn’t mind the warrior but there still a small distance between him and his clan mates bristlethorn and his brother owlthroat seemed to be the only ones who I could stand him “Ready to go when you are” he said a sharp tone in his voice

Embercloud's ears perked up when she heard her name called for a patrol. Dashing over, she dipped her head at Sleepysunrise. "Oh course." She mewed with a soft smile. "Would it be okay if I brought my apprentice?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. It would be good experience for them.
Should she have been surprised he'd shown up like this? No. So what was with the weird, fluttering, nauseating feeling in her gut when the big fluffy warrior appeared with the same grin he always wore? Did he ever get tired of smiling like that? Briarsplash's cheeks were sore just thinking of it. But she found it hard to be as annoyed as she otherwise might've been, on any day before that chat they'd had in the clearing not too long ago. Not when Hillstrider had given her that mouse skull, the only ornament that adorned her simple nest, the one she might've caught herself staring at on more than one occasion.
Speaking of stares, was he... staring? Why was he looking at her like that? Why wasn't he looking away? Briar's skin prickled uncomfortably and she found herself meeting his gaze with one whisker brow raised as if saying 'what??'. Um. Ah. What right did he have to stare at her with those bright yellow eyes that pierced her like warm sunbeams on a cold day? And why in StarClan's name was her fur hot from it!?
Clearing her throat and banishing her frustrations to the nether world of her psyche, the Enforcer tore her gaze away from his, silently cursing and hardening her expression. "Uh, right. Let's get moving," she meowed gruffly, her voice hoarser than usual. With a flick of her tail she led them out, trying to forget the lingering, uncomfortable tingle down her spine.
