**Streamcloud** · #**13201** November 29th, 2021, 07:25 PM

Streamcloud padded into camp with a mouse, and a plump squirrel. She would have caught more if it had been Greenleaf or Newleaf. Striding across the clearing she set down her prey and picked up a meely shrew for herself. This would not fill her appetite but it would keep her alive to hunt for another day. Streamcloud knew that this happened every year; Leaffall turning into Leafbare so that prey would be scarce, but this season seemed harder than the last. She gulped down the shrew in a couple of seconds and decided to get some rest.

Padding over to the Warriors den Streamcloud entered quietly so that she wouldn't wake the sleeping warriors. She nestled into her own nest and felt sleep take over her in a couple of moments. She woke in her dream to a sunny meadow, prey plentiful. Right away she knew this was a dream yet why couldn't she enjoy herself. Acting like a kit chasing a butterfly she chased prey without a care in the world. But after a while chills went through her body and she jolted awake.

It seems that she had overslept and missed going out with the dawn patrol. So she padded over to the entrance. She stopped herself, this is what she had done this same thing for a while and was tired of it. Her body ached and she needed time to clear her head. The forest helped with that a little bit but not enough. What could she do then? Indecisive of what to do, her paws dragged her out of the clearing and into the forest. And without noticing she padded into a stream. Shocked Streamcloud jumped back and hurt her sore pad on a sharp stone.

All he needed to do was make sure Thrushpaw was going to be fine.

Ok so it may be a little late but this post is about hollykit being upset about letting rogues and kittypets into the clan

Hollykit pushed her way into the den not caring if she made a complete ruckus as she stomped her way up to her aunt. What’s the big idea! That stupid kittypet made me step on a thorn and her snappy attitude isn’t that great towards kits either! I don’t understand why you let them join! The other clans might see this as a sign of weakness! she wasn’t completely mad she was just concerned about her clanmates and how it would truly effect their life.At least assign mistypaw to a different mentor I don’t think those two mesh well together at all…I saw them arguing during a clan meeting… her face was contorted between different emotions. Her dark fur was rigged and her small kitten claws dug into the stone ground. I…I just don’t want to lose any of my friends because of them! What if they attack them I’d never forgive myself if they got hurt because of them!

@poppy.

Sorry it’s so short I’ve got school work to do!

Flea | they/it | 3 moons | @poppy.

A tiny kit skipped loudly though the forest, tiny paws crunching through the dired up leaves coating the ground. They bounced with each step, greatly resembling their namesake. "MOOOOOOOMAAAAAA!!" They loudly yelled out, voice high pitched and squeaky. Hmph, where was she? Did she abandon them? How dare she! They were probably too cool for her, so they couldn't really blame his missing parent for leaving. Well...well jokes on her! She was missing out on his glorious presence, so it was her loss!

It huffed loudly in irritation, hind legs thumping against the ground and it sat down. The tiny kitten pawed absent-minded at a passing beetle, smushing it into the ground whilst giggling uncontrollably to themself.

~Mistpaw | Open~

Standing at the camp entrance, Mistpaw glanced to the forest outside with a rather wistful look before another shiver racked its way through her fur. It just kept getting colder and colder! She knew leaf-bare was supposed to be cold, but she didn't expect to be so uncomfortable all the time. In an attempt to combat the ever present chill, she had tried to keep herself moving and busy around camp (replacing nest bedding, training with Larkstorm when she could, and just pacing about if all else failed) but she was starting to get bored. Bored and overwhelmed (in an odd way) with everything that was both happening and not.

She felt like she should be busier! At least busy being outside and collecting new trinkets to distract herself from the cold and recent loss of Icicleripple, but she couldn't leave camp without a warrior. That was the rules! She didn't want to let Larkstorm or her parents down by breaking the rules, so here she sat. Staring at a tuft of down from some sort of bird that was floating around just outside of the camp entrance, she waited for a warrior (really any warrior, Starclan please) to come walking by so she could ask to accompany them.

(Open to any warriors that want to go out into the territory or apprentices that want to attempt to make Mistpaw break "THE RULES" lmao)

||OPEN, but only if you want to respond to something like this||

(And @Scarecrow102 @Native Willow because both of you said you wanted to know when this would happen and I am holding you to your promise)

--Clearlight-- If you need it, here's a reference

The tabby queen yawned, stretching as she stepped out of her warm, cozy nest. Clearlight looked up at the sky, blinking sleep out of her eyes. It was still dark out, she could still even pick out a few stars in the sky. Clearlight started to return to her nest when she halted, abruptly.

Could it?

No.

But could it be?

Oh. It could.

Clearlight, with no time to find a better place, simply dropped down on the nursery's floor. Her kits. They were coming.

(Aaaaand that's done because nobody wants to read about her kits being born! Let's just fast forward to a few hours or so later......)

Clearlight sighed, looking up at the sky. Her last kit had been born when the sun had reached above the peaks of the trees.

She looked down at the two. Yes. Two. Clearlight couldn't stop but smile. She had two lovely kits. Two lovely kits of her own. Darkmoon, her mate's kits.

She licked them gently. The firstborn was a female, a black tabby cat with the night-like coloration of her father and the pattern of her mother. The second-born had a pale, not ginger, but yellow, solid color. He had the most adorable small patches of white on his muzzle and back paws.

"What should I name you?" Clearlight murmured gently to them both. The worry that had been nagging away at her for moons was back. Starclan had given her no sign. Nothing. Not even a stray leaf had crossed her path whilst she was carrying. If only Darkmoon was here. He's say how silly she was and point out-

Clearlight paused in her thoughts, looking back at the sky, then at her kits. It was perfect. Absolutely perfect. She licked at the firstborn, smiling as she squirmed to find a better position. "I've found you a name. Like the sky when you were born, you shall be called Nightkit."

Clearlight licked her second-born, who was sleeping soundly curled up by his sister. "And you, I've found a name as well. Like the world was when you were born, you shall be called Daykit."

Clearlight laid her head down to rest. The whole process had exhausted her. Daykit and Nightkit needed a well rested mother to live. Clearlight fell asleep quickly, dreaming of a great warrior with a shining pelt and a gentle soul with fur like ink.

(As a side note, yes, Clearlight has been role played pregnant for a month since she was created. More specifically, a month and a half, so she meets the requirements.)

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

The sun was at its highest as Aspenstar leaped onto the Thunderwillow with one powerful leap, not wanting to waste any time with this meeting. She knew that there were kits that were awaiting their apprenticeship, and there were also things she had to announce. And she had to deal with a certain someone, and a public humiliation would prevent the wayward warrior from doing it any more. Her sharp yellow eyes scanned the camp, and she sighed. Some things would have to change. The ruckus and everything at the event a couple days ago was proof of that. ThunderClan needed more stability, and StarClan knows that Aspenstar would bring it. Along with discipline, because it was needed, obviously some cats couldn´t conduct themselves appropriately.

She also knew that cats would be expecting the new medicine cat to be announced, but neither her nor Dogbark had had the sign from StarClan, and the leader refused to let her own eagerness to keep the Clan running interfere. But now, there was nothing to worry about except for the present. She could go brood and stress in her den later. Maybe if this went well, he Clanmates would cheer her up. Unless some of them decided to start fights again. If so, the elders would be getting a lot of new helpers.

''Let all cats old enough to hunt gather beneath the Thunderwillow for a Clan meeting.''

| Softpaw of Thunderclan |

She decided to actually head to this meeting, deciding it would make her a better clanmate if she did so. Softpaw herself hoped no fights would begin, Thunderclan felt as if it was caving in on itself, no floods were causing this catastrophe this time, just everyones needless bickering and yelling, and...screaming and shouting.

[Open!]

**~whirl~** · #**13209** December 1st, 2021, 10:05 AM

Iceblaze smiled, bouncing overeagerly to the Thunderwillow.
Leafpaw came as well, but a bit slower, but she had a tiny smile on her face as well.

**Akira** · #**13210** December 1st, 2021, 10:06 AM

Flamelight walked over.
