For stars' sake, another patrol!? Did someone have something against him!? Annoyance was too tame a word to describe Creekchill's attitude at the given moment. It had only been a pawful of days since he'd last gone out on patrol, so being sent on another one so soon only prickled his pelt like thorns.
With a groan of irritation, the brown-and-cream warrior hauled himself out of his nest and made his way out into the clearing. Glancing around, he didn't see either of his patrolmates yet. Of course, there was always the moderately-sized possibility that he was mistaking them for other cats, but he couldn't be bothered to care at that very moment. He was the patrol leader, they could come find him.
One of them was an apprentice; Creekchill prayed to the stars above that they knew how to hunt. He was absolutely, positively, no-doubt-about-it sure he did not want to teach someone how to hunt tonight.

At last Spring was put on a border patrol! "Yey! It's Border Patrol time!!" This could be so fun! Also, woah that's a lootttaa cats on one border patrol! What happened with riverclan that this patrol had to have extra cats? The other patrols have about a normal amount of patrols but uh... the more the merrier! So so cold though. Very cold. Does it still get colder than this? Oh no that won't be good. Springpaw was already sneezing earlier. Well hopefully she's not too sick because that won't be good either. Duskshiver said he met his riverclan friend during a border patrol so she wondered on whether or not Spring would meet any nice riverclan cats she could be friends with as well. Being friends with a bunch of cats must be fun! Okay time to look for her patrolmates!! Soooo Deerfang is the leader and then there's Mapledusk, Gooseflight, Ravenwing, Brightpaw! Yea! Fun!
She seems to be the first among her patrolmates to gather so should she wait or should she look for them??? Hmm. Decisions...been a while since her last patrol and there's more cats this time.
★彡 GooseFlight 彡★
| He/Him | 32 moons | Purrks: N/A | Straight | Warrior |
White and orange fade fur, with yellow eyes.
❝ There's always a wild side to an innocent face. ❞
GooseFlight slipped out of the nursery as he heard his name called, his face filled with utter confusion. SnowBerry was kitting for StarClan's sake! But he supposed warrior duties came before his personal life... GooseFlight would accidentally bump into SpringPaw in his line of confusion. Bloody hell! He was a dad having to miss SnowBerry's kitting. He shook his head before turning to face SpringPaw with a disapproving look. He scoffed as he shifted his cold gaze and looked for the other members of the patrol. Where were Deerfang, Mapledusk, Ravenwing, and BrightPaw. He paced moving his feet up and down as he mumbled something to himself in a harsh tone. ' ' Bloody Hell! Where are these damn cats! ' ' GooseFlight yelped as he shot a warning loom to SpringPaw.
Deerfang sighed. Another day, another patrol. Ze pinned zir ears back nervously, hearing how many cats were coming on the patrol. "I guess that leaves three." RiverClan border... Sedgewater? "Hey, Springpaw, right? Have you been to any borders yet? And if ya do, do you know how to mark a border?"
he almost winced out loud when he heard his name be called for patrol, it was too damn cold for his body to even just come close to acting normally.
at least it was a border patrol and not hunting..but it was rivercan border so one could only hope for the best.
he was glad they were a reenforced patrol and not just a regular sized one though, they really couldnt be careful enough with the amount of tensions right now.
well, he couldnt change his fate anymore so he made his way over to the others, stiffly trotting over from where he had sat, his leg aching but forced to cooperate anyway.

Brightpaw slipped soundlessly over to where the patrol was gathering. Her brown hues flicked from one cat to the other, reciting their names in her mind. Gooseflight, Deerfang Ravenwing and Springpaw were all there, and of course herself, now, so that left Mapledusk. She assessed the overall mood of the patrol. While Gooseflight sounded like he had burs in his pelt, and Ravenflight seemed to be reluctant, Deerfang seemed to be in a decent mood, and Springpaw was practically jumping with excitement.
Brightpaw stopped by the other apprentice, and offered her a smile bright a her name suggested. "It's a little chilly, innit?" She said, fluffing up her pelt.

With an annoyed frown, the molly made her way over to her patrol mates. Her brown and orange were ruffled and puffed out to keep warm from the chilling winds. 'Shadowclan border, huh?' She thought, waiting with Hawkfur for the others.

he hummed in agreement, "its awfully cold indeed.." the black tom replied before realising the question was probably not directed at him or the group in general. too focussed on trying to not freeze to death or have his leg give out later he first tried to keep warm by sitting but gave up and decided to walk in small circles about one cat length from the others.
he made sure to be well within listening distance as he didnt want to miss anything before hed have to sort himself into some sort of order when they actually started the patrol.
he had a small sliver of hope in him that he might actually befriend someone today and at least the apprentices didnt seem to be in a bad mood.
Deadmoon really, REALLY hoped that they'd found the right thing. She was fairly certain they had yellow flowers along stems, but there could be more than one type. It was probably fine though. Hopefully. Like......75% chance she hadn't made a fool of herself. Regardless, there was naught to do but face the music in the event that she HAD messed up. Hopefully all was well. Smashing a smile onto her maw as best as she could with flowers in it, and aware that they were a bit late getting back, Deadmoon headed towards Cowtuft. He was nice and recognizable.
Dropping the flowers, she mewed We found...something. I think it's the right thing? They were yellow flowers with flowers along the stems, which I think is what you said. Stars, she hoped he hadn't meant for green or white or blue flowers. That would be TERRIBLY embarrassing. @wolfie @chickadee @Ladiebuggcollecting post

Softsong shook her head at Blazesong's apology. "You're fine. My apprentice on the other hand... Fallowpaw!" Softsong called across the clearing. "Border patrol! Get out here or we're leaving without you!"

*-Lichenpaw-* 103/100
she/her || 11moons small and scruffy calico with one blinding eye
This is stupid! The three responsible cats were here and waiting to go and do their assigned patrol and who doesn't show up? Houndear, the cat who was supposed to lead the damn patrol! She's sick of waiting around, she wants to go and actually be useful to the clan, not sit around here waiting for a cat who didn't even care.
"This is ridiculous!" The calico complains. "If Houndear doesn't show up I might as well lead this dumb patrol myself." Mostly, that last part was grumbled to herself, but if the others heard, well, too bad so sad, she was planning on taking the patrol over herself, apprentice or not. "If Hound doesn't show up soon I'm leaving without them," she informs Icedapple and Hogstrike and she fully means it.
[ mentioning @/endlesshax again - in the next 24 hours we will proceed with the patrol assuming hound isn't coming per patrol protocol ]

Icedapple shrugged. “Fine by me.” Icedapple said.

Perking her ears up, the tiny she-cat looked at the deputy with sparkling eyes and a wide grin. A patrol! Her first ever - Quillpaw was very excited. She gave an affirmative nod to Fallownose before trotting over to the cat she recognized from the event. Crowtooth! She listened intently as the older tom explained how to not get lost in the tunnels. She definitely did not want to get lost in general, so the young she-cat nodded along in understanding.
She didn't see any of the other cats that had been called yet, but still she got ready to leave. "What kinda creatures live down in the tunnels, Crowtooth?" Quill asked curiously, wondering if cats lived down there like they did up here.
