Stagskull padded over, her paws caked in mud. "Everything is good at Croaking Swamp." She said to Mistlewhisker, glancing back to see if the apprentice's had followed.

Moonmeadow purred in delight when they caught sight of Shadowpaw's catches! Two whole catches! On her first patrol, Moonmeadow may have no prior relationship of this little apprentice but that didn't stop her heart from swelling with pride and joy. Shadowpaw will make a fine warrior for Shadowclan, Moonmeadow just knows it. "Look at you, Shadowpaw! Maybe you should've been the patrol lead with those skills! Showing me and Cornpuff up." The large feline approached the apprentice and gave her a quick nose boop of appreciation on her head if the apprentice let Moonmeadow. Now then, Moonmeadow took a step back and looked over the finch that Cornpuff had caught and gave the tom a respectful nod of delight, "Wonderful catch, Cornpuff. What a sucessful hunt!"
Moonmeadow rushed to where she had hidden her vole and grabbed it before readjusting her grasp on the mouse and squirrel with little trouble. With her mouth full, the feline wasn't able to talk much and it be understandable so they let the purr in their chest amplify and pointed with their paw back towards camp and started to guide them back.

When Moonmeadow arrived she made her way over to where Mistlewhisker was, the hardworking molly being busy with the recent demotion so Moonmeadow made her check in quick. "Mistlewhisker," The feline gave a polite dip of her head as she approached the enforcer, dropping her pieces of prey at her paws, before lifting up with a smile, "The hunting patrol was a huge success! Little Shadowpaw here had two whole catches and it was only her first time hunting!" The feline waited for her patrol members to say anything if they needed too, a prideful purr in her throat again. Moonmeadow wanted to bring up her concerns about Shadowpaw's training and how it shouldn't have been her first time hunting or having a lesson for it, but for now the cat held her tongue. Moonmeadow didn't want to talk about that in front of Shadowpaw.
"If that's all, I'll be delivering my prey to the pile. If you or any other needs me just holler and I'll be right there." The molly dipped her head before she remembered one last thing that she wanted to mention before leaving, "Oh, if you had the time, I wanted to speak to you about some things." With that feline smiled to Mistlewhisker, though it was weighed down a bit by the reminder to themself of the mink problem, nothing that Shadowclan couldn't handle. She wanted to request more patrols, the feline couldn't get this anxious buzzing out of her pelt when they were in camp idle so the best thing to do was to talk to the enforcers about what they needed done. Also, it would given Moonmeadow a chance to discuss the issues with Shadowpaw's training.

[ For Mica, if you don't have the time that's perfectly fine, I mostly just wanted to have Moon bring up wanting to volunteer for more patrols and also the fact that Shadowpaw's training has been concerningly slow, as Moon would in-character wise be worried about both of those things enough to want to discuss with a higher rank. Moon would also offer to take over mentoring Shadow if her current mentor cannot do so. You can also ignore it and we can say that the talk happens off screen if you'd prefer that :3 ]

Well then, it seemed as though one patrol could finish on time. The enforcer watched the three cats deposit their prey, tail twitching. When addressed by Moonmeadow, Mistlewhisker fixed her good eye on the younger molly. "See me after patrols are done." She meowed simply, nodding in dismissal. She would gladly speak to Moonmeadow about whatever she needed later.
[I would be happy to have them discuss in character if you like! If you want to throw up a starter in the clearing, I will reply when I can >:3]
When Cornpuff and Shadowpaw dropped theirs off next, Mistlewhisker spared the former a brief nod, and the latter a longer look. "First time hunting, you say. You did well. Keep it up." ShadowClan could use strong hunters.

Posting order (if you guys are okay with it, just let me know): Pebbleshell, Midnightpaw, Boneclaw
Stagskull padded over, her paws caked in mud. "Everything is good at Croaking Swamp." She said to Mistlewhisker, glancing back to see if the apprentice's had followed.
And then, it seemed, came the stragglers. Mistlewhisker was clearly irritated by the time they approached her, tail tapping the ground behind her. She watched as Pebbleshell and Stagskull approached, noticing their lack of prey. She bristled. "Finishing is all well and good, but did you actually bring any prey, like I asked?" She eyed the space behind them. "And the rest of your patrols. Where are they."
@vellichor @hades. @Alpine[I tried to wait as long as I could but I can't any longer, please do your best to have your characters report in and tell me their catches. Can literally just be a post saying "X drops off [prey]". Please and thank you <3]
Yellowpaw dropped off his salamander. (sry im tired)

Midnightpaw came bumbling in, carrying her frog and mouse which she dropped carefully on the prey pile before darting over to where the rest of her patrol was. "Sorry! I buried my mouse and lost it for a minute.. I'm so sorry, but I brought 'em both back.." She panted, looking towards the lead of her patrol and then to Mistlewhisker, to which she bowed her head apologetically.

Outwardly, Mistlewhisker was calm and collected as she took a seat by the Shadowledge, tail swishing over her large paws so it wouldn't thrash behind her and show just how pissed off she was. Two patrols had fully reported back. Two. Dawnstar was not being hyperbolic when she said this clan was an utter mess. Taking a deep breath, Mistlewhisker allowed her booming voice to fill the camp.
"Stagskull [ @ChaosBringer. ]! Larkpaw [ @vellichor ]! Boneclaw [ @Alpine ]! Due to your poor--or non-existent--" she cast a glare around for Boneclaw. "performance in this last round of patrols, measures must be taken to ensure this does not happen."
While Larkpaw and Boneclaw had just not reported back, Stagskull had the nerve to report with no prey. "Consider yourself lucky." She meowed to Stagskull. "The only reason I'm not demoting you is because we need prey, and I don't feel like assigning a warrior to you to ensure you do your job." An irritated flick of her ear. "I want you to go back out and catch three pieces of prey. Do not return until you have done so. If you do, I will demote you for two moons." She jerked her head towards the camp entrance in dismissal.
[Please mention me in Stagskull's hunting post(s), and have her report back to Mistlewhisker in this thread by April 15th, 11:59 pm EST ]
"As for you," She turned her head to Larkpaw. "Give me a good explanation as to why you did not report back, and I will reconsider throwing you in the nursery for a moon." While this apprentice might have been Darkfall's daughter, she wasn't going to go easy on her.
Mistlewhisker had not seen Boneclaw at all since she had called patrols, and she waited somewhat impatiently for him to show up before she determined him missing and reported to Dawnstar.
[Please remember this does not reflect my ooc thoughts!! Mistlewhisker is just cranky ]
The apprentice’s fur puffed up and she let out a startled mrrp! as her name was called. Well, her Clan name anyway. Oh, it was the angry looking cat that sent out her patrol. A small prick of guilt washed over her as she also heard her mentor’s name called. But then again, she was confused. Catbrows furrowed as Lark tried to formulate a coherent response.
"What?" was all she could come up with, more than a little flabbergasted and quite frankly annoyed. "I'm an apprentice! That’s not my job, is it?" Despite being irritated, Lark was feeling overwhelmingly confused. Did she miss something? All she caught was one measly frogtoad!
// @Mica sorry about not reporting skfhkd, life been kickin my butt rn so feel free to kick lark’s a bit, she probably deserves it \\

Stagskull's ears pinned back with shame. How could she not bring prey back?! 'Useless warrior.' She thought to herself, listening to Mistlewhisker speak. "I apologize." Stagskull said before continuing after Mistlewhisker finished. "As you wish." She said before padded quickly out of camp to find prey.
