RiverClan Skyridge

[tye]

My, my!

First the new deputy and now a queen! What an exciting day for Riverclan, the stars surely is blessing us. "Hello Ravenshade," she mewed, stepping up to the black feline once Lionstar continued on to the next course of his speech. "Welcome to Riverclan, darlin'. Do you want to stick around here a bit longer?" she eyed at her belly filled stomache. "I can take you back to the nursery den now and get you settled. Your journey must've been long, I will bring some water and food to you as well so all ya gotta do is rest and get comfortable. Sugarapple got ya back!"

I have an apprentice... Chestnutstripe blinked. If it weren't for her tensed expression, her jaws would've been gaping open at the news. She wasn't sure what to make of it. Part of her felt wholely unqualified for the role; not that she was bad at dealing with cats and didn't know anything about clan life, but rather that she just wasn't confident enough. That being said, there was a little flicker of ambition in her eyes at the idea of more responsibility. Lionstar must be crazy...I must be crazy.

She took a brief moment to relax her anxious heartbeat before striding over to the apprentice. A mixture of hesitation and determination stewed in her eyes a she glanced over the younger cat, taking a visual inventory on what might be Silverpaw's strengths and weaknesses. Besides the apparent tardiness...we'll have to work on that. Quietly flicking her ear, she dipped her head towards her, "Hello." Awk-ward.

[ @RedHead, @bread -- final mention! If you don't post with Oak and Flowerpaw I am moving on without you and they can try to rejoin. ]

What??! This Midnight cat was suppose to join her in the Apprentices den with her. Why lie? Humph! This was frustrating and Petuniapaw was looking forward to having more apprentices in the den. The worst part is it made no sense. At least she was getting a new den-mate anyway. Goosepaw. Oh she'd have to talk to him later. And WindClan cat joined? This was an amazing meeting! So many interesting cats she might be able to be friends with.

Riverpaw twitched her ears. Why would he be slipping on the river ice? Couldn't he have gotten killed? Ice was cold and dangerous. Besides, it was kind of a random time to go play wasn't it? Either way she bet the warrior had a reason.
When he nudged her she tensed. Did she do something? "Uh.. Y-your welcome..." Riverpaw meowed quietly. The Clan was changing a lot huh? New members, new deputy all kinds of stuff.

Raccoontail had been listening to the meeting while trying to figure out a good spot to go hunting later when she heard her name. Wait, a new cat? Didn't they already have enough mouths to feed? She was expecting kits too! What a nightmare. Never the less, she was a bit excited that she was being put in charge of her training. Wouldn't this be an experience! Using a paw to quickly fix her fur, she sat up a little straighter to find this new cat. Spotting her near the front, she padded up to introduce herself. With her size, how could anyone believe she was only eight moons? Oh well, she still had to dealing with this lying cat anyways. Dipping her head in response to Lionstar, she sat down to observe the she-cat for a moment. "Hello, I'll be training you over the next couple moons," she meowed in greeting, wrapping her tail around her cautiously.

[RedHead]

Flowerpaw stepped forward at the call of her name, ears perked with the slightest amount of interest written on her face. She was interested to find out which fish-breath the lionleader would appoint to train her. Flowerpaw knew she could be difficult, and planned on making this cat’s job exactly that.

Littlepaw frowned a bit as his mentor patted his head with her tail. Well, that was new... he shuffled his paws before mumbling, "Okay..." he looked up at Morningmeadow, a curious glint to his blue eyes. He tipped his head to the side a bit. What would they do first? Would she be rough on him? He certainly hoped not. "So, uh, what will we do first?," he mewed in his naturally soft voice; he hasn't really physically matured much; having been born prematurely, he has been unusually runt-sized and small since birth, and the fact that he's always been sickly didn't help much. He hasn't been able to grow like he should, with most of his kithood spent in the medicine cat's den, instead of out in the sun, playing and running around getting stronger like he should have been. So, he hasn't really grown much, and his voice was still very kit-like.
Sighing, Littlepaw gave his curly, matted white fur a few vigorous licks, attempting to flatten it down a bit, or at least neaten it up. Starclan have mercy, he wished his fur would cooperate for once! Giving the fur on his round, fat flank a few pulls, he grumbled under his breath, "I guess it's my fault for not taking the time to groom myself... but why does it have to be this difficult to get myself presentable?"

He then felt his mentor's eyes on him, and he glanced up to see Morningmeadow gazing at him with an expectant look. Littlepaw then realised that his mentor had answered his question, and he hadn't heard her! His pelt heated up with embarrassment, and he felt the tips of his ears redden. He dipped his head in apology. "I-I-I'm s-sorry," he stammered. "What did you say?"
He kept his gaze fixated on his paws, thinking, Oh Starclan, oh StarClan! I'm already making a terrible impression! What if I turn out to be an awful apprentice?! She's surely going to be fed up with me soon. She will probably want me reassigned to somecat else! Oh no! Why? Why am I so stupid?! he silently waited for Morningmeadow to repeat what she had said before.

[ moving on! ]

RiverClan Announcement [#liontalks]

With Flowerpaw now in place, Lionstar raised his voice once again. "Flowerpaw [ @RedHead], you are another refugee from WindClan seeking a new home as a RiverClan cat. Because your training was never completed, you are going to remain an apprentice.."

His gaze swept after the calico warrior that tried to leave the meeting early. "And, I'm going to assign Mossythorn [ @Shimm] as your mentor. Mossythorn, perhaps next time you'll think twice before you try sneaking out of one of my meetings early." How childish of him. At least he attended the meeting though, unlike that Oak cat who wanted to join.. who does that??

Now, to move on..

[ NOTE: I am only having cats look for those who've been confirmed deceased to me. ]
"Unfortunately, RiverClan. It has become apparent some of our Clan-mates have gone missing.. so I am going to dispatch a couple search parties to find these cats, if we can.

"Buckfrost [ @BILL.] and Pigeonpaw [ @Casper], you both will be looking for Graypaw. Buckfrost, as his mentor it was your duty to keep him in check! Pigeonpaw-- you're probably the best bet in finding him to begin with, and I doubt you'd want to stay here with your brother missing." She'd just go without his permission, then. What a pain!

[ FOR FALLENSTREAM: his body is going to be found by the ThunderClan border. He was murdered, with a bloodied rogue standing over his remains when the patrol comes across him. ]

"Sootflare [ @shortstack], go ahead and take Sparkheart [ @Blissie Bliss] and Eveningpaw [ @Heartstruck] and see if you can find Fallenstream. I'm amazed that fat-ass even made it out of camp with how wide he was.. and how he was too crippled to continue his duties as a warrior." Yes, even after all this time Lionstar was sour toward the former leader.

"Your patrols can leave when I dismiss the meeting. There is one final thing I would like to discuss: training! With half the forest with their tail in a bunch, I have decided it would be beneficial for some of our warriors -- and older apprentices -- to undergo intense battle training. What does this mean?

"Well, it's very simple! I want our capable and experienced cats to further their mastery of battle. For those that participate in this, you will be learning to not only improve your skills as a warrior, but how to dominate the battlefield and ensure the victory of our Clan. You will be relentless, unstoppable in nature-- and the other Clans will have no choice but to tremble before your powerful might. You will be an elite class of warriors I can trust to bring the fight back into RiverClan's favor if things go awry. Our enemies are like hawks, waiting for the right moment to strike-- and I want to be prepared in case they try anything.

"This is a heavy project that I am entrusting to Eagleflight [ @Casper], but I want all cats who formerly lived in the other Clans to participate in this. You will be sharing your knowledge of other Clans' battle skills amongst each other. Even former SkyClan cats, you may harness skills that can be fruitful in battles to come! The more skills we can obtain, the more we can improve upon them, and the better we can become as a fighting unit.

"Cats interested in volunteering for this are free to meet Eagleflight by the camp entrance tomorrow morning. Now, I'm going to be clear.. if we don't get volunteers, I will make this training mandatory.

"RiverClan, you are dismissed! Patrols, make sure you head out immediately. Dirtfur, let's talk."

On that note, Lionstar sprang down from the Streamstone to vanish into his den.

His jaw dropped, you gotta be kidding me. Mossythorn looked around to see if anyone would object to the leader or at least back him up. Seeing that all eyes were on him the tom shook his head and rolled his eyes. The calico reluctantly walked up to his annoying leader and now his annoying little fur-ball of responsibility. "Whatever." Goaning with annoyance and touching noses with his apprentice for a second. Grumbling, "Yadda yadda ya you're my apprentice now yay." He turned around, great I have to be responsible now! Thinking as he sat down with a hmph.
@BILL. @RedHead

[Sneakyfox55]

Darkpaw stared with wide eyes at her leader, then switched her gaze to Mossythorn, observing his attitude with a calculating look. Talk about showing disrespect to your clanmates, she thought, flicking her tail. @Shimm
