ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

______________________________________________

She was... tired, to say the least. And yet, the molly had no clue why. Sure, it was the middle of the night and all, but she'd taken a nap at noon until, well, now, and yet for some reason she was still tired. It was unfair, in Sycamorepaw's humble opinion, that even though she'd slept for several hours, her body still wished for slumber.

A joke, an unpractical prank. Surely that was it. Right? Perhaps if she went to take a walk she'd feel better. So, stretching her legs, and blinking the sleep out of her eyes, Sycamorepaw stood, pushing her way out of the apprentices den, and towards the warriors. That'd be where her mentor, Rainspark, would be, right?

Well, a girl could only hope. She really wanted to get out for a bit.

~ Rainfall had been sleeping when she felt it the sudden pain. Were her kits here now? Were they joining her in the world and in Clan life? The answer was yes and that this was going to be a long ride.


-Time Skip-


Rainfall let out a sigh of relief dropping her head onto the ground taking a few seconds to herself. After those seconds Rainfall lifted it once again to look at her kits and had a gleaming proud smile, her kits were finally with her. Rainfall looked at the first kit, a she-kit with short blueish-gray fur. Rainfall gave her oldest daughter a smile and nudged her to her belly. 


"Your name shall be Songkit"


With that Rainfall looked at the second kit, A gray tom with a white paw and belly. He was next to be nudged to her belly and given a name with a small lick on his head.


"You will be Galekit"


The queen then looked at the third kit, a small tom that seemed to look identical to her. Rainfall gave a few seconds to think of a name before coming up with a perfect one. 


"You'll be Stormkit" 


Rainfall hummed before looking at the last kit.. only to realize they weren't moving. Rainfall ears fell as she nudged the kit and started to like them in panic only to realize they had been taken into the paws of Starclan. Rainfall felt a pang of sadness run through her and leaned her forehead against the stillborn kit.


"I'm so sorry, May Starclan take care of you for me until I can join with you.. Bluekit"


Her first litter and she already lost one of her kits. Rainfall took a moment before looking at her three remaining kits, a feeling of overprotectiveness washed over her. Rainfall would make sure nothing bad will happen to her kits for as long as she lives. ~

Songkit

Songkit nuzzled Rainfall's belly, drinking the warm milk. She could feel her siblings next to her. She mewed softly.

Dawnpaw (She/Her)
Tall lithe she-cat with white and silver stripes lining her light orange body. Dark blue eyes.

Dawnpaw's only reaction to the apprentice entering the clearing was a slight turn of her head to take in the other's apperance.
"Hey, what are you doing up so late?" she asked in her typicall tone, not betraying anything about her emontions, other than pure curiosity. She knew she really wasn't one to talk seen as she hadn't really gotten any sleep these last few nights, but that also meant she didn't want the other apprentice to end up like her, exausted 24/7 and grumpy.

Ah, it seemed someone would foil her plans. She was caught! Oh, woe is me, she thought dramatically, before turning to face Dawnpaw – the apprentice in question. "Hey, what are you doing up so late?" Sycamorepaw hummed thoughtfully, as if she wasn't completely certain.

"I suppose I was just about to ask if I could go for a walk," From her mentor and all. Rainspark, one of the best ever, and though she knew she was lucky, the girl also wanted to think that she got such a good mentor because she was so good.

Obviously.

Anyway. "What are you doing up so late?" Perhaps she was in a bad mood, or maybe she just felt like being an ass, but nonetheless this 'Dawnpaw' girl would feel her tired wrath. Part of Sycamore knew she'd say sorry tomorrow, but the other half just wanted to set everything on fire.

It was late at night. The back tom was so damn tired. But he didn't sleep. He watched the other apprentices sleep. He saw two still up. But he didn't care. He started scratching the walls of the den, making his story with the form of pictures.

Dawnpaw (She/Her)

Dawnpaw let her face rest. She already knew her face was a glare, and a cold one at that, and she wasn't even attempting it. Watching the moon." She said plainly not betraying any emotion. It was beginning to get chilly out and yet Dawnpaw couldn't hardly feel anything through her coat. Even where the fur was thin from her burn from so long ago. Everything just didn't hurt her anymore. Whether it was because she didn't let anyone close enough for that to happen, or if it was just because she had grown numb to it.

[B] [ These patrols are due by September 20th at 11:59 p.m. EST
If you need an extension, please let me know by September 19th
If you need to be replaced, please let me know by September 11th
After you complete your patrol, report it to Sundust here, then fill out the form in This thread. If you have any questions about this, please let me know! ]

The herb stores were frightfully low, and Sundust had decided it was high time to send out herb patrols. Initially, he was only going to take Rosepaw out and look for herbs in the new parts of the territories, but it never hurt the have extra paws helping out.

Sunkissed Creek Patrol
[ optional prompt: there! some marigold, just at the edge of the creek! one of the patrol members stretches a little too far, and sploosh! someone has fallen into the creek! ]

“Bushtuft! Please go with Roosterflame to Sunkissed creek. I’d like you to keep an eye out for marigold; it’s a yellow flower with small spiky leaves.” They seemed to burn through marigold so quickly. He’d have to.. give a seminar or something on infections. Or maybe just ask Sparrowstar to mention it in the next meeeting; that might be easier. “If you find any catmint, please bring that as well; the cold seasons will be upon us soon. It’s tall with a fuzzy stalk and purple flowers.”

[ @error ; @Willowfern ]

Firefly Cove Patrol
[ optional prompt: sure, we’re here for herb patrol.. but some fireflies have come out early, and catching them seems awfully tempting… ]

Alright, time for the second patrol. “Asterdance and Mistheart, please go to Firefly Cove.” Sundust’s eyes flicked around the clearing, hoping Asterdance was near enough to see that they’d been given a patrol. “I’d like you to bring back as many cobwebs as you can carry. Some poppy seeds wouldn’t hurt either; you can collect those from poppies, red flowers with black and yellow centers.”

Roosterflame
__
Oops, stealth mission fail. At least Sparrowstar was happy! Roosterflame grinned like a fool as he watched Sparrowstar take in her freshly cleaned and decorated den, very happy that she was happy.
To be quite honest, seeing the joy in her eyes was enough for Roosterflame, he couldn’t have asked for anything better in return.
“Well, considering that you’re our brand new leader- and that you let me back in to ThunderClan with little consequence- I thought that it was about time this den got cleaned up! I don’t think this den’s really had a deep cleaning since it was made, and that was…” He calculated, “…I think that was six leaders ago. Seven, if you count Dogbark’s short stint on the throne,” He explained, “This den was definitely overdue for a sprucing up.”
He looked her in the eye, almost seeing the inner turmoil as she weighed what she could possibly do in return, though it was more of a guess, as Roosterflame had many talents, but telepathy was not one of them.
“And before you ask, no, there’s nothing I want in return, just making you happy was enough for me, that coupled with the fact that I got to come back to ThunderClan and live here again.”
He looked around the den once more, admiring his work,
“Sometimes, it’s just nice getting to make others happy and do nice things for them. The joy of getting fades, the joy of giving lasts a lifetime,” He grinned. He knew he was being extremely cheesy, but he didn’t mind, his words came from the heart, he wouldn’t say them if they didn’t, “Anyways, I’ll get out of your fur, have a wonderful afternoon, Sparrowstar,” He purred.
And with that, he made for the exit.

The softness of the molly's voice seemed to calm the apprentices nerves. "Yeah, that sounds nice.. I'm sorry about your mate." Acornpaw mewed softly, making eye contact.
(Sorry for the short post, I've been having a bit of problems with motivation lately- also, its alright, you aren't late, and Acornpaw doesnt have a training tracker, but he only has one training, and that was a hunting patrol) @Apollo.

Roosterflame
__
A patrol? So soon after he’d rejoined? Fantastic!
Roosterflame bounded forwards,
“We’ll be right on it, Sundust! We’ll get so many herbs, you’ll soon have the problem of not knowing where to put them all!” He knew he was over exaggerating, but it was nice to be able to do something for ThunderClan’s hardworking medicine cats.
Bushtuft… where was that funny little boy? Roosterflame hadn’t seen him in a moon or so, he wondered if Bushtuft had changed all that much. Roosterflame certainly hadn’t, but who knew if Bushy had?
Roosterflame dropped onto his haunches, waiting. He wouldn’t leave the camp until he saw Bushtuft, because he hated being alone on patrols. Hopefully Bushy would be here soon! Roosterflame was unnecessarily excited over an herb patrol, but he didn’t care.
