Alright... Here goes nothing. Very first time sending out patrols. Don't mess this up, Tansypaw! Mess up the first time and then everyone will think you're stupid forever! Take a deep breath... There. A bit more levelheaded, the young tortie scans the clearing with nervous eyes, taking note of who was out and about. Things were about to be a lot more difficult now that Gingerfrost had passed. Young, inexperienced blood now had to steer the clan to survival. Hopefully she could make him proud, wherever he ended up. That's all that mattered. Clearing her throat, she calls out as loud as she can manage-- which isn't very loud at all, but nonetheless-- and draws attention to herself.

"H-Hey, everyone! I need to send some of you out on patrol so if you could please gather around and listen for your name, that'd be great."

So far so good. Not too bad, Tansypaw. Waiting for cats to approach and stare at her with expectant eyes, she chances a quick lick to her chest to tame down a lock of fur out of place. And maybe a little bit because of her distaste for being center of attention.

[ optional prompt: that has GOT to be the biggest spider any cat has ever seen. it's sitting protectively on that useful web it's built... - herbs: moss, sticks, cobwebs ]
"Alright... Let's get started. Cherryswirl ( @Dust ), if you don't mind taking Featherspirit ( @silverfur and Co ) and Rushwater ( @redshiftreign ) out to find some moss, as many sticks as you can carry, and lots of cobwebs. After the last group of injuries we're running real low on cobweb... We should stock up just in case anything else happens soon." That fox attack group really wiped them clean of most everything... Ugh! Stupid foxes, making clan members bleed!

[ optional prompt: you know who else wants those poppy seeds? a small swarm of rats. there's got to be at least four of them and they're huge! be careful to not get bit! - herbs: poppy seeds, chamomile, borage ]
"Next up... Koiviolet ( @haunted peach ). Could you, Ottersplash ( @Spooky Snowyfeathr ), and Winterpaw (@hex_cat) head out and get some poppy seeds? And then what about those herbs you know that you told Falconfeather and I about? Chamomile and, uh... Borage! That's it! I trust you to find them since you know what they look like but if you have any kind of issue... I can give you something else."


[ optional prompt: there's a chill in the air... but it's not from the chilly season. it almost feel as though you're being watched. who's lurking from the bushes? - herbs: burdock leaves, burdock root, burnet leaves ]
"Mothberry ( @SpookyShoomy ). I need you to take Sunsetpaw ( @Haunting Pangolion ) and Blueflower ( @Starphobia ) out to find me some burdock and burnet. Burnet leaves are kinda small and spikey looking. And then burdock is bigger and... Not spikey looking. I need some of the root of that plant, too. If you guys want I think I have some leaves in the medicine den that I can show you... Sorry I'm lousy at explaining."


[ optional prompt: what's the difference between ravens and crows? hopefully one of you knows. there's no way the three of those large black birds staring at you mean something good. - herbs: thyme, dandelions, optional ]
"Willowwisp ( @FrostyGalaxy ) and Shatterpaw ( @LostSoldier ), if you two could accompany me to get some thyme and dandelions, that'd be great... And maybe something else we can pick up out there, too, but I don't know much else so, uh... Yeah." Talk about pathetic. She was making herself out to be an idiot, regardless! Get it together, Tansypaw!

Anywho, now it was time to sit and wait for the other two she called to her own patrol to join her.
