High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Bumblestar settled back down as Drizzlecloud obliged. Her gaze swept idly over the Clan, only to sharpen once it landed on Sunpaw and Shadowshine. Bumblestar understood Sunpaw’s. She knew what it felt like to be frustrated with older warriors who kept failing, to be angry at the others who stepped forward to help. And maybe Sunpaw had been a little sharp, but it absolutely had not warranted the reaction it got.

She kept her mouth shut until Drizzlecloud was done speaking, until the moment of silence was over. Then she nodded her head with a quiet thank you, and turned her attention to the most recent target of her ire once more. Other cats had gotten there first, Sunpaw could clearly hold her own, but she would still be heard. "Shadowshine."

She rose back to her paws with a lash of her tail. “If I see you lay a paw on anyone in this Clan ever again, especially those younger than you, I’ll make sure to tear it off and beat you with it,” she snapped. “Sunpaw’s frustrations are valid with the way her training’s been going, ‘n if that’s how you’re going to treat her for voicing ‘em, then she’s no longer your apprentice to train. Apprentice duties for half a moon should knock you back down to earth. If you go out, you're to be accompanied by another warrior at all times. I want dens spotless, prey stocked, 'n if I so much as catch a glimpse of you at the Gathering, I'll demote you right there. You'll remain in the warriors' den so that your Clanmates can keep an eye on you, 'n you'll stay away from the apprentices. Piss me off more than you already have during this 'n you'll be living the following moon as Shadowkit.”

Her attention flickered to Sunpaw, tone softening slightly, though the anger was still very much visible. “I’m sorry for my oversight. You’ll be with Spiderthroat instead of Shadowshine going forward. If she poses a problem in the future, let me know 'n I'll handle it.”

[ @Shellwhisker - Shadowshine has until January 31st to complete her punishment. I need to see 3+ posts tidying up dens or going on a hunting patrol with another warrior not called by Spiderthroat by then. Any interaction with apprentices, presence at the Gathering, or further discretion will result in demotion. If an extension is needed make sure to message me before Jan. 30th. ]
