Berrypaw shuffled her paws at the foot of the Starpoint, having to collecting herself with several deep breaths. Her little heart hammered against her chest, terrified at the mere idea of having to announce something, but...

Her large eyes flicked over to Fadingstar beside her, finding relief in his own green hues, seeing him looking at her encouragingly. The leader had been more than kind to her, from the moment she'd become the medicine cat apprentice until now; at first she'd been a bit terrified of him, but getting to know him had certainly softened the edge. And now he was sitting beside her, offering the moral support she'd needed to continue. She took in a shaky breath, offering him a sheepish nod before turning her gaze to the clearing.

"R..." Berry started to say before she coughed, the words catching in her throat. She ducked her head a bit, attempting to speak again while her skin burned under her fur in embarrassment.

"R-RiverClan!" Berrypaw finally squeaked out, her meek voice surprisingly loud as she forced herself to be heard, much to her own dismay. Stars, seeing a bunch of eyes turn to her at once... she wanted to shrink into her own skin.

Berrypaw had to pause once more at the sight, breathing in deeply through her nose to settle her voice enough to speak. "M...Mistyshard and I worked really hard to heal you all after the raid on our home... b-but now we are terribly low on herbs. I-I know there isn't too much out here, and it can be dangerous, but... any help you can give, we'd really appreciate," she mewed, cautiously giving Fadingstar a glance, as if asking for reassurance that she was doing alright before she continued.

Traversing the mountains could be risky, but anything they could find would be incredibly helpful; otherwise, they'd be stuck having to let cats go untreated. RiverClan was, quite literally, stuck in between a rock and a hard place... well, kinda on a rock too, given that they were on a mountain, but... you get the gist.

"P-Please, ah... gather around me and Fadingstar if you'd like to help... warriors and apprentices only," she added quickly, knowing some eager kit like Daisykit would likely run up trying to throw themselves into danger just to be helpful.

With that the little brown she-cat let out a shuddering sigh and sat back on her haunches, her heart still pounding.

Welcome to my first event!! If there's anything I'm missing/did wrong, pls let me know hehe. Here's some deets!

- This event is being hosted by Berrypaw (me) and Fadingstar (@/occultation). Please only post once of your cat arriving so that it's easy for us to track. The setup for the actual herb gathering itself will be explained in a future post once everyone arrives!

- This event is open for warriors and apprentices only; NO KITS. Please refrain from having your kit show up just because we'll need them to be taken away, and it'll clutter the event a bit.

**The deadline to post your cat showing up for the event is August 8th. After that, Fading and Berry will split everyone up into herb patrol groups and give directions from there. [I will be adding the patrol time limits/requirements in this main post as well once we get it set after everyone arrives!]**

- If you have any questions about this event, please VM me!

Hm?
So, the herb store was low, and they needed to stock up on herbs?

Caveclaw wasn’t opposed to the idea.
Obviously, no one should be opposed to it.

The lykoi-mix silently padded over to join.

[Minku]

Sunsetgleam walked towards Berrypaw, their interest showing in their eyes. They gave a small glance at Caveclaw before going back to medicine cat apprentice

[Fish]

Adderstrike walked up

[Marigoldwhisper]

Deerspark padded up.

Marigoldpaw straight up RAN.

Owltalon trotted over.

You predicted it well ^^ mweheeh

Daisykit stumbled out of the medicine cat den. "But sissy!!!" She whined, "Why can't I help! I'm stronger now!!! I can grab a few plants." Daisykit pouted, waddling adorably up to Berrypaw, struggling a bit but then eventually plopping herself inbetween her adoptive siblings forepaws. Seeing Fadingstar, Daisykit meowed. "Oh... I'm I being bad again....."


Willowtail watched her sisters fondly as she padded up, sitting in front of them, "Looks like you've got your paws full...... literally." Willowtail teased Berrypaw.

Softpaw padded forward, "I'll go on one!" She purred. Calmly sitting down

[Fits]

Heroneye arrived.

[Luna16]

Rainpaw and Ravenpaw gathered around Berrypaw. Rainpaw in particular was eager to assist, Ravenpaw decided to come along mostly for moral support for her sister. I'd much rather be doing combat training. She thought bitterly. But Rainpaw's eyes were bright and determined.

[Neptune.]

Hearing the call for an herb patrol, Larkwing quickly gathered around. There were still plenty of sick and injured, the lack of herbs was concerning. Most of all, though, her worry centered around Fishfreckle, who's condition was concerning to her. She didn't know if he'd be able to make the journey back home unless he got some help, and that came in the form of herb gathering - as much as the spotted grey tabby would protest that he didn't need any stupid herbs.
