ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

[Glacial]

// @sid @starry. @RiztheHuntress

The mackerel tabby tom rushed over to the cats on his patrol. Uh oh, he was really late. "Sorry, I'm here now," he meowed with a grunt, green eyes staring at the ground. Stars, this was embarrassing.

After all, her baby brother was waiting for her, and she couldn't leave him alone in there. She clomped unceremoniously through the undergrowth, not caring if someone heard her. She was pretty sure the hope was for someone to hear her. But she'd turn right back around if it was a Shadowclan cat- the reason she'd left to begin with. Though now, it felt like she'd been running away. And Foxpaw wouldn't stand for looking like a coward.

She crossed the border at some point, though she wasn't paying attention to the scent markings, everything became familiar in the blink of an eye. She supposed she was rather lucky that she could direct herself to a patch of grass out of earshot of the camp, but close enough that she could walk to it if no one came. Foxpaw sat down, curled her tail over her paws, and waited, green eyes narrowed into slits.

Cindersky
As more and more pieces of the puzzle began to slip into their places, Cindersky was feeling more relieved. Soon enough, if all went according to how she had planned, ShadowClan would be removed from being the painful thorn in their side. And if ThunderClan actually saw this opportunity for what it was - showing that they were still a Clan capable of greatness - perhaps they could even teach ShadowClan a lesson or two as a small treat.

But with a small break from all of that and the other duties that she had picked up alongside some of her more proactive Clanmates, Cindersky found herself wandering the territory. She kept her senses alert for any sign of those looking to return - most notably she always kept an ear out for Larkfrost and sincerely hoped the warrior would return at some point.

The scent that drew her past two thick bramble bushes did not belong to the warrior on her mind, but a young apprentice. She recognized them almost immediately, concern falling over her features. "Foxpaw! Where in the name of StarClan have you been?" Cindersky could not recall spotting the she-cat recently in camp and the worry had been eating away at her heart.

Had it truly been or was imagination got the best of him? Perking his head he couldn't recognize the land due to never really getting enough looks around. He picked up his heavy pace and his slim body kept up surely he hadn't been gone long?

Cindersky
Scouting the grounds that surrounded camp had become like second nature to Cindersky at this point. She was done allowing cats who simply held titles with no meaning to dictate and control what happened in her home, which is why she was glad that herself, alongside a pawful of other warriors she knew she could trust (minus Nectarflame... but that was a whole different story) had taken it upon themselves to restore glory to their home.

Scenting the air with parted jaws the senior warrior froze as a familiar scent mixed with the sound of paws padding closer came to her. Rushing forward Cindersky let out a quiet breath of relief to see that Elmkit did not appear to be too hurt. "Elmkit, why did you leave camp? You know kits are not allowed outside." Though her tone began strict, it quickly dissolved into concern as the silver spotted she-kit leaned down to give the kit a good sniff, searching for any non apparent injuries or illnesses.

Elm

He smiled, happy he had seen a somewhat familiar feline "I woke at a dream that seemed to real and i kinda got confused and i couldn't see so i ran off because i though i was somewhere else" He furrowed his brows "But i'm glad i came close and found you!" ]

Cindersky
"You are very luck that you did not get scooped up by a hungry hawk or coyote," Cindersky said in a stern tone once she realized there were no apparent injuries over the kit. But they were young and there was much to learn, so the senior warrior could not find fault in them. She allowed a small smile to stretch across her face. "You were very brave to find your way back, Elmkit, but how about you wait until you are made an apprentice to leave camp again, hmm? That way your mentor can give you a proper tour of the territory."

With an attempted gentle nudge of her paw, the ThunderClan she-cat aimed to herd the young kit back home and into the nursery where it would be safer.

[ done! i will go ahead and let naiad and shade know you move elmkit out of the missing and back onto thunderclan! ]

Elm

He let a playful/ nervous smile switch. "Yeah, i'll go along with that" He shuddered and took a few steps closer to the senior warrior "Thank you" Elm purred glad he wouldn't wait another while out here because what would have happened if he got scooped up by one of them? He wouldn't stand a chance he was still pretty small and he had no fighting experience and if he where scooped by a hawk and was able to get out of its talons he'd fall to a miserable death. Then with a glance to the sky then around him making sure nothing would touch them but the warrior was their so he'd be safe for now.

@Naiad

The small cinnamon tabby let out a little thoughtful huff and sat back on her haunches. She wasn't really sure what to do. She could just tell her to drink water and give her a poppy seed if it got bad...wait, poppy seeds...What if she really shouldn't do that, because they're bad for...? Like, what if...

"Is there any possibility you may be expecting kits?" she asked, feeling a little awkward for not knowing the basic relationships her clanmates had with each other and who had a mate. She just didn't often have time to ask personal questions about their lives and to gossip. That time was usually occupies with asking "Does it hurt when i press on it?" and "When did the indigestion start?" and "My StarClan why are you missing an ear?"

" Erm— Just.. Around.... "
He spoke, ears laying almost flat against his head, but he pretended to be calm. The tom seemed obviously anxious and just wanting to get this done with, until he took a pause from speaking, and meowed again, but sounding more confident. " Y'know; with everything that has been going on lately, I just- I needed a break. I'm still loyal to the clan, but it was just too much for me to handle. "

Shiningskies pinned her ears at Littlefang's excuse and a disgusted snort left her mouth. "So let me get this clear. You've been "around" as you so put it because you "needed a break" while the rest of us have been working our asses off trying to get this Clan back in order with the threat of Dawnstar and ShadowClan looming over our heads? If it was too much for you to handle, why don't you just go back to the Outskirts, or better yet, find a twoleg who will take care of you and become a fat and lazy kittypet since apparently Clan life is so hard for you." Clearly the tom had said the wrong thing because there was a fury in her gaze and she was one second away from kicking him back out to the Outskirts.

❥ Leopardkit wandered around the nursery, hoping to find a kit to play with. He always wanted to make a few new friends!

@Slushie
Nightsong stumbled through the undergrowth feeling tired and spent from the confusion filled journey of getting back to his camp. He collapsed on the ground multiple times and hadn't the slightest idea as to what had happened. He finally concluded that he would stop to rest. He went towards a bramble bush and feebly dragged his body under the sharp and pointed brambles. He then curled up and shut his eyes.

Sharppaw sat in the apprentice's den, looking around. His yellow eyes scanned his surroundings. His black fur blended into the dark corner he was sitting in so well that just looked like his eyes were visible if he kept them open.

☆ Tree'Paw + They/He ☆

Tree perked form his nest there was absolutely nothing to do in the dark room. Tree looked around and spotted a small flash of a pair of yellow eyes though they didn't look directly at tree he couldn't help but look over at them. Tree wasn't familiar with this figure so they pushed their slim body up and walked over taking their time. They sat down by them a few moment unaware of what to say "Hello, You seem pretty bored so mind if i start up a chat?" Tree slightly smiled having to tilt their head to face the tom.
