[Patrols and recovery are due on August 21st by 11:59pm EST! Extensions will be granted if you ask via VM. If you cannot participate in a patrol then please request a replacement via VM or your cat will be reported as not having shown up for their duty. In order for the patrol recovery to count, one of the members of the new patrol (preferably the leader) must bring one of the members of the old patrol back during their report].

It appeared her clanmates couldn't even complete their patrols. Turning her head, Whitewolf watched as Pinewatch organized a few. The young Warrior had demonstrated a lot of growth, it seemed. Whitewolf still couldn't help but be disappointed with ThunderClan's efforts to regroup after the battle against RiverClan. She'd heard they fended them off well, but what of the herb storage? And why was the fresh kill pile sabotaged?

Growling to herself, the undead Warrior concluded someone in RiverClan must've decided ThunderClan deserved to starve. Whitewolf remembered the hard work she and others put into restocking the fresh kill pile--whichever RiverClan cat had done that was a monster. The Queens, kits, and Elders needed to eat more than anyone else and without Pinewatch around they might've gone hungry.

What was more, Whitewolf was furious that two of her patrols had decided not to return. If she couldn't trust some of her clanmates with responsibility then she'd replace them with ones she could. She would show them what a proper patrol looked like and send out not only replacement patrol leaders, but a search-and-rescue team in the event one was needed. How humiliating that would be if those patrols were homeward bound and simply late.

"Yewbark [ @Prevail ] and Berryburr's [ @wnder ] patrols have not arrived on time," the undead Warrior said matter-of-factly. Her eyes seemed to droop and she still looked physically weak, though at least after the battle against RiverClan and sending out previous patrols, she knew who she wouldn't send out on patrol. "I am putting my trust in Aspenstrike [ @poppy. ] to lead a group of cats to the Weeping Tree to find them [the Tree will be taking the place of Firefly Cove, where Yew's patrol was originally assigned]. Aspenstrike will take Bluestripe, [ @Twilight Wing ] Goldeneyes, [ @~Fierceclaw~ ] and Tigerpaw [ @/Zee ] on a search and rescue patrol." Nodding, she turned to a group of cats standing by. "Mistyshade [ @Stardust~ ] will lead the search and rescue toward Herondive Hollow to recover Berryburr's patrol. Silverdust, [ @Silverfur & Co ] Pearface, [ @Celeste ] and Fernpaw [ @Singing Jay ] will accompany her."

Whitewolf flexed her claws into the ground. She'd wanted to send Stormfang out, but he'd proven unreliable after failing to report to Thistlethorn (who she was unhappy with for exchanging immature discourse prior to the battle). Frankly, she didn't care if cats wanted to disregard her or brush her off because she was supposed to be dead. Returning wasn't her decision, after all, even if she was becoming keener by the day to prove she deserved a second chance at life.

"I will be hunting independently. All of you are not only expected to return the late patrols to camp, but to assist in replenishing ThunderClan's fresh kill pile with prey and help Icicleripple stock up on cobwebs." With that, Whitewolf nodded at the patrols she assigned. "You're dismissed."

She would not accept any further questions. Her orders had been clear.
