High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]
The glare Bumblestar shot Finbranch could have killed him if she'd willed it. Usually she had more patience, but everything happened had it worn as thin as it was capable of being. “Shut up ‘n sit down. I didn't call you out here to be bombarded with questions I'm already planning on answering.”
With a low growl, she lifted her head again to address the Clan, words sharp, pointed, and leaving no room for argument. “There's been a ridiculous amount of predator-related threats on our land as of late, ‘n I'm sick ‘n tired of cats lacking basic common sense. So far there's been encounters with an owl, vultures, foxes, Twoleg traps, a badger, a hawk, strange outsiders, a dog, ‘n apparently now we're adding a pack of coyotes onto that. Due to Darkecho’s negligence, who’s since been exiled for it, Fleckpaw ‘n Appleleap are dead. You lot apparently can't use your heads ‘n play it safe, so here's what's gonna happen.
“We're on lockdown. No one is to go in or out of camp unless you have permission from me, Spiderthroat, or one of my Hornets. Otherwise you need a Hornet escort. If you choose to be stupid ‘n leave anyway, that's on you ‘n you'll suffer the consequences. I don't care if you end up scratched, mauled, near death, or perfectly fine - every single cat who leaves this camp without permission or an escort will either be demoted or exiled for as long as I feel like it. ‘N if you let someone in your group get hurt, I might feel like givin’ you the exact same injuries to teach you a lesson.” She scraped her claws against the stone to amplify the threat. “Do not test me. I already have enough to worry about without adding idiotic antics to the top of that list.”
