Cinderpaw would be lying if she wasn't A Little Bit Excited to be ordering around her clanmates. Watching patrols come in and out of this very same place since she was a kit, and now she was the one doing them... not in the deputy or leader spot she remembered pining for when she was young, but who was she to complain (besides, she was still on alert, on thin ice, who knew when the world around her would regress and...)
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey." Her voice cut through the air, cracking slightly at having to project her voice so far.
"We need more herbs. We always need more herbs, but it's patrol time now, so you guys have to bring us more herbs. Hehe."
herb patrols will be due on APRIL 21ST at 11:59 EST! if you need your character on patrol replaced (contact me within 48 hours) or have any other concerns, please vm me! if you need an extension, let me know by APRIL 20TH.
The apprentice mulled over the laundry list of herbs and locations Sundust had given her.
"Hailhawk and Wolfpaw, could you two check out Sunkissed Creek? Catmint 'n marigold grow there a lot -- marigold's got this huge, frilly yellow flower on the end of it, and catmint's got a lot of little purple ones. You'll know the latter when you smell it."
[prompt: eugh. scum has begun forming on the surface of the water, and you notice last season's wet and dead leaves are slowing the stream a little! do you unblock it? @comet15 @naiad ]
"Thrushstar and Bumblebreak, since you two're so chummy now, head over to Wisteria Falls. The trees out there are pretty gnarly so apparently there's a lotta spiders in their hollows...? Anyway, go find me some cobwebs. Maybe you'll find some catmint or marigold there too - big yellow and little purple flowers, like I told the other two - 'cause they grow so close to the creek? Just bring me back somethin'.
[prompt: something strange begins tumbling its' way down the falls, and eventually floats close enough to shore so you can get a look at it! is that a... monster paw?! @Eaglet @dino. ]
"Next up is Roosterflame and Pebblepaw; could you two scope out the Mossy Den? I dunno, maybe twolegs left some rarer herbs around there... if you could find some chamomile specifically, that'd be cool. They're these little white flowers with big yellow middles - they grow in clusters, on the same stalk.
[prompt: a kaleidoscope of butterflies have found a specific patch of moss quite interesting! what do you find underneath their swarm? @Willowfern @Poprock ]
Last one...!
"Kitewhistle and Woodpaw, how about you guys just go check out the territory? Go where the wind takes ya. We're lookin' for burnet specifically, they've got these purply-red tufty things on the end that make them look like little, long thistles. If you can find anything else though, that's fine too."
[prompt: the scent of mouse beckons you deep into a hollowed-out log! does the prey run right into your claws, or do you get stuck? @Darkclaws @RedAnger ]
