Oakflame trotted to the streamstone , a bit late but there nonetheless. He had a general idea of what had happened before he arrived; calling up apprentices who had no mentors and/or needed a new one. Maybe a few other things. Dawncloud? So that was Spiderpaws mentor while he was dead! He sure hoped this Dawncloud person taught Spiderpaw something , but he wouldn't get his hopes up solely because of the fact the warrior had vanished. Well , if they didn't teach the apprentice anything , he'd be quite disappointed. Ears perking when his name was called , the tom let out a rumbling purr when he heard he had been assigned Spiderpaw. The two would be together once again! Action packed fun adventures starring Oakflame and Spiderpaw! Didn't that sound amazing?
Looking around he noticed the Bengal molly jumping up and down and walked over. “Well! Isn't this exciting , Spiderpaw? More adventures featuring Oakflame and his spunky sidekick , Spiderpaw.” He joked with a light laugh , holding a smile. Though he suppose he should thank a certain person , looking up to the golden cat on top of the streamstone. “Thank you , Lionstar. I appreciate it.” He hummed before looking back to his newly assigned apprentice after a moment. “So , did that Dawncloud individual teach you anything while I was gone?” He inquired. At the very least , he hoped Spiderpaw was taught battle techniques , though advanced hunting would also suffice.
spiderpaw laughed lightheartedly, grinning. "mmm, i'm pretty sure you're the spunky sidekickk, but whatever you say!! i'll accept the responsibilities of sidekick,,! pffttt, i'd be the best sidekick anywayyy! you're a great.. unsidekick?? frontkick?? oppositeof'side'kick?? hero! eeeeeee," the apprentice responded, her limited vocabulary noticeably shining through.
"dawncloud?? oh! right! dawncloud. hm,,,,... i don't believe she did teach me anything, actually! i mean, i talked with her a bit, but no hunting or fighting or swimming or fishing things, so i basically only really know what you taught me! i learned that dawncloud likes sunsets, though, since orange is her favorite color, but other than that.... nothing! i still remember what you taught me, though, so at least i know something!!" spiderpaw responded, thinking back to her memories with dawncloud. well, really, there was only one memory; she hadn't spent that much time with her mentor---no, previous mentor---other than after the ceremony where she'd gotten assigned dawncloud.
t'was unfortunate, since now she would probably never see dawncloud ever again and all she knew was that the cat's favorite color was orange, but oh well!! she had oakflame now, so everything would be fineeeee. "you better start teaching me stuff, though, or else my training's going to take foreverrrrrr. i've been an apprentice for a while now and all i know are front paw blow and front paw strike, and some hunting! how am i supposed to brag about how amazingggg i am and how cool my mentor is if i barely know stuffff?!!" spiderpaw softly whined, though it was all in a teasing manner. the female lent a smile, waiting for oakflame to talk while keeping her ears listening for the rest of the clan meeting stuff.
Four out of six wasn't bad. Lionstar couldn't say he was surprised when Ringpaw and Ivypaw were the ones dragging their paws.. ugh.
At least he wasn't at fault for approving their rejoining. Sootflare.
"Spiderpaw [ @hope], as unfortunate as it is that Dawncloud vanished.. I have good news! Oakflame [ @alan] has returned to the Clan and, I believe he is more than capable of taking over your training once more."
It only seemed right the former duo would be restored.
"Dreampaw [ @Nebby], you have returned to the Clan after being gone for over two seasons.." Lionstar was apprehensive about her for a moment. "I am assigning Ripplewhisker [ @a1axis] to be your mentor. Ripplewhisker, I hope you can pass your warmth onto Dreampaw. Be aware, due to ..issues, in the past I ask you to keep her away from Eagleflower unless you are assigned to a patrol with him."
Two more to go. Lionstar scowled when the kit hollered at him but was tired of the disruptions and opted to ignore her.
"Turtlepaw [ @Socks]!" He brightened up for the young scaredy-cat. "I am assigning you to Mistleap [ @cloudii], and I hope you both will grow out of your shells together." Now that just left Almondpaw..
Lionstar hadn't seen either Frostflame or Cricketsong recently and decided to avoid both of them this time around. "Almondpaw [ @TeamMilkBot], because Frostflame has continued to not train you, and because I don't know where Cricketsong ran off to, I am assigning you to Icepuddle [ @icepuddle]. Icepuddle, I hope you can get this apprentice the training he desperately needs because I swear, if one more mentor fails him I will start evaluating their position within the Clan." And this was not an idle threat! He demoted cats for neglecting their apprentices in the past.
Icepuddle nodded she was determined to train her new apprentice with every single fur on her body. she was a daydreamer but she was no less strict when training. this will be a challenge of course with her first apprentice but she was gladly going to train them .
"Largekit!" called Sootflare as he hopped away from the Streamstone. He didn't much care if he interrupted the announcements, "You found your way in so I'm sure you can find your way out - but I will escort you to the territory given your apparent penchant for wandering. Wouldn't want you getting lost." The last sentence came out bitter as he ushered the kit out of camp.
[ @WarriorsAndHorses considering Largekit 'escorted' out of riverclan from here on ]
Another meeting? Gingerpaw scoffed as he lazily got up from his sleeping position in the clearing. It felt like these were held almost everyday by now-- or it was just the clearing who never seemed to quiet down. Either way, both were starting to get irritating. Why? Because is held him from his 'well deserved' sleep.
Well.. others could argue wether it was well deserved or not, but even he knew that despite his lazy attitude, he wasn't as incompetent as some others seemed to be. Mouse brains.
The young tom dragged his paws across the clearing towards to streamstones, soon noticing Flyfur. She.. didn't look to well. Making a faint turn to the left, coming from behind, Gingerpaw walked up next to his adoptive mother, Or care taker as he called it. He went to sit next to her and brought his tail to wrap around Flyfur, hoping it could be somewhat.. comforting perhaps?
It wasn't something he did particularly often, never actually, but this time.. he could make an exception. He knew what she might be feeling, so at least an attempt at comforting, or making feel less bad, could be done.
Flyfur was brought out of her daze by Gingerpaw wrapping tail around her. Mood improved, she sighed softly and gently leaned into him. "Thanks," she murmured, tiredness showing.
She groaned as more drama happened, there was always trouble being stirred, but it always seemed particularly present when Lionstar called clan meetings. These would take so less time if they didn't interrupt him with their crap. "Oh, sometimes these cats tired me," she sighed, more than a little done with the lot of them.

While I do not (currently) have any cats in the Clan's, I try to have at least a few role plays with my outsiders (Sedgestorm, Woollyfeather) and my StarClanner Coldamber. Most of my role plays until I feel well enough to keep up with sweeps will be related to Covenant of the Sky duties.
"Quit shoving!" He snapped, as he stumbled out of the camp, 'Mouse dung! Those stupid rules are so annoying! I'll just go to the loners, again.' the spotted tom hushed under his breath. @wnder
This was infuriating. Lionstar even waited an extra couple moments for Ringpaw to come forward, but she still didn't! Only Ivypaw.
If she thought her behavior was acceptable, she was dead wrong. "Ringpaw [ @Rose Child (Gay Bean)], this is the second time I've called you up and you've failed to do so within a reasonable amount of time. This is ridiculous and will not be tolerated. Speak with me after the meeting is over, or I will be revoking your status as a RiverClan cat."
It would've been different, probably, had she not been in the crowd. But he saw her. And she didn't move an inch.
"Ivypaw [ @FuzzyRatto], since you actually came forward I will be assigning you to Pebblepudge [ @Dust]. Pebblepudge, I know you took it quite hard when Crabpaw vanished, so I trust you'll keep a very close eye on Ivypaw and see they don't run off again."
After giving them a moment to greet each other, he went on.
"We have several apprentices ready to become warriors!" Lionstar puffed his chest up with pride. "The other night, two dogs broke into camp with the intention of destroying the nursery but most of the apprentices I am about to call forward bravely fought the canines off before they could do significant damage.
"Warblerpaw [ @vermin], Berrypaw [ @Puddle~], Lotuspaw [ @Shadeleaf], Foxpaw [ @Mentallyunstable], and Snowpaw [ @Mumble]!" He was pleased with all of the cats he was calling forward. They had more than proven their ability, even though Snowpaw didn't participate in fending off the dogs.
"For the others who fought the dogs-- Curlpaw [ @Slushie], Houndpaw [ @Beau], and Cricketchirp [ @Rainquail], I appreciate your fast reactions to a stressful and dangerous situation. Your courage has not gone unnoticed, and you've all done very well." Sometimes, Lionstar didn't care for the barely-warrior but he'd give him credit when due.
"When all-- or most of you, have come up I will begin the ceremony."

Lotuspaw's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward, her huge paws clumsier than usual. She was going to be a warrior! Unbeleivable. She sat dow, feeling all eyes on her, shrinking a bit. She was so excited.
Snowpaw quickly padded over to largekit, "Goodbye, largekit. I'll miss you" she murmured, touching her muzzle to his before backing up to allow him room to exit with sootflare.
