RiverClan Clearing

[Madelaine]

Marigoldleap was letting the cats grieving cats grieve, but that stupid apprentice comment that came from Hollowstorm was insulting. She moved towards the cat. No she wasn't going to hurt them. She wasn't all for violence anymore unless she could find that rogue who was killing off her new clanmates. She wasn't going to let that stand. "Are you stupid. These cats are grieving.I'd be surprised if you ever get an apprentice. Pikestar and all of Riverclan just lost their deputy. Now I haven't been here long, but i won't stand for that. If you don't wnat to grieve with the rest of us then leave. Nobody needs a cat like you to be disrepectful, especially after such great loss.", she growled. Was some cats this incompetent? Even some cats in shadowclan would do something like this. Marigoldleap was tired of it!

How dare you ask such a random and irrelevant question while we are in the middle of Such A Situation.” The Warrior said slowly in The Tomcats ear. Fawnleap made quite the entrance but she didn’t care. Hollowstorm wanted an apprentice so badly that he Just Had To Ask It In The Middle of A Grieving Clan. The russets and Brown and White Demigirl Stepped into the spot Right Next To the Warrior. She didn’t give a damn on What Pikestar was going to say. He was a sick cat,He was disgusting! Hollow storm was vile! Fawnleaps pale yellow eyes were glued on Hollowstorm,She was Freaking Pissed! Hollowstorm had overreacted at the meeting and now this. Fawnleap was done! “I want you to apologize To Everyone here,Including Slatewhisker.”

”What?!” He snapped. Fawnleap was as furbrained as a real fawn. “How did you hear that? I whispered it.” His green eyes glared back. His powerful shoulder stood tall above her. “Fight me, I would say. But that fight would be over in a heartbeat.”

“You dare threaten A clanmate over such a petty matter. You are embarrassing. Last time that happened it didn’t end well for that cat. I would highly suggest you step down immediately. You are embarrassing yourself,This is for Slatewhisker and not you- Get over your selfish ass self.” The Warrior said Calmly,No Freaking Way He Just Challenged her- Hollowstorm was actually embarrassing. This warrior was sure to be exiled,Fawnleap would ride that exile train all the way to the end. He deserved it. “Lay a Paw On Me and You’re Done. Stop Acting like A Kit When You Get Called Out For Disrespectful and Disgusting Behavior.”

The cream warrior squinted as Fawnpaw turned into Furiouspaw and then Hollowstorm asked when they will get an apprentice during grieving, then threatened to fight… and then threw an insult towards Fawnleap. Was apologizing to a dead body really necessary, Fawnleap?

Cricketsting tried to keep his mouth shut, unable to bear watching and hearing fighting while a dead deputy was resting in the clearing. Their yowling might draw kits in and have them look at the dead body -and Cricket would not laugh at that. He likes to scare kits, sure, but he ain't a monster! For StarClan’s sake, where is the respect in this clan?!

Gingerfrost almost flinched, though he didn't, at the young cat suddenly screaming, something that seemed to be quite customary this specific kit (Snowkit) and quite frankly Gingerfrost wasn't sure what to do with it. Even less when said kit suddenly latched onto his leg. Staring down at Snowkit, the shield shot Violetfreckle a brief glance - they seemed much more knowledgeable about kits than him - before casting his gaze downwards again. He slightly and awkwardly lifted his leg, the one Snowkit was holding on to, just a bit thinking that maybe he could shake her off... When newly apprenticed Bluebellpaw's voice spoke up softly. Unmoving but his head, the tom turned his gaze to the young apprentice. As she spoke, the tension in his shoulders dropped just a bit, as did his eyes back onto Snowkit. Helping her. He wasn't sure how much 'helping' he was really doing but... Briefly looking back at Bluebellpaw, he gave her an almost unseeable nod, so light it was. But he put his slightly lifted paw back down. He didn't know how to handle this; Snowkit seemed awfully happy for what was happening one moment, and crying her eyes out the next. If there was one thing Gingerfrost didn't know to do besides comforting and handling kits it was dealing with mood swings, let alone ones of Snowkit's degree. But, for the sake of it, he stayed. He'd let Snowkit stay latched onto his leg just this once. The tabby didn't much move otherwise, he didn't want to disturb the kit (maybe she would fall asleep or at least stop screaming or something) but then again, he felt some bit of understanding for them. Perhaps because he knew how this might feel. So silently he remained, one could say grieving in his own way for the lost mother and deputy. Pikestar had since joined and the shield needed but a glance his way to tell the death must be hitting him hard, as it did Blizzardwind and likely many others. His own reaction was maybe lacking, mostly stone faced and unmoving but that was only because the tom was much more reserved in that way. Only this time his expression was just a bit softer and yet a tad more perturbed when he looked to Snowkit and Bluebellpaw.

Until, of course, someone had to disrupt this all. It wasn't loud, but plain disrespectful and although Gingerfrost didn't budge as to not bother Snowkit, he sent a warning glare in Hollowstorm's direction. Marigoldleap and whatstheirname was quick on the case, but of course Hollowstorm had to make it worse.
"Not the time." Mousebrain, but the word remained but a breath.
Gingerfrost let the small growled words in the idiot warrior's direction, mainly, although the other one - Fawnleap? - could do with not reacting to the disrespectful antics, at this point it was of little help the shield thought. Maybe no reaction would've left things calm, but who knows. He couldn't even be bothered to explain why right now.


[ @lonely.lilyx @Ghostly Stars @canineantics @forest @Ares @Angelique - Apologies, just wouldn't be in character for him not to add these three words,, ]

Darklight was getting agitated, Couldn't these mousebrains stop fighting? a Clan mate was dead! and darklight just couldn't believe how disrespectful this Hollowstorm was being and stepped forward "Hollowstorm! Listen to Fawnleap! and if your looking for a fight i'll gladly Claw your ears off for the Disrespect you've show towards both Slatewhisker and Fawnleap! you should learn to show respect towards your clanmates!" they hissed angrily

Slatestripe hardly heard Darklight, for he was now focused on the commotion between Fawnpaw and Hawkpaw. Eyes narrowing, Slatestripe recalled the way some of RiverClan’s cats had reacted when Hawkpaw had joined the Clan. Did he have something to do with it? If Fawnpaw knew something, Slatestripe hoped she’d speak up.

His attention was caught again by a sudden outburst between Hollowstorm and Fawnleap. Was this tom seriously making another dumb outburst at a Clan gathering? And now of all times!? Slatestripe’s claws reflexively unsheathed as anger at the tom bubbled up inside him. He wanted to claw Hollowstorm so badly, but he would not disrespect Slatewhisker like that. He just hoped Pikestar dealt with Hollowstorm appropriately.

( @forest For the Hollowstorm mention )

"This is so sudden... but i'd like to know who did it..." Darklight muttered under their breathe "i'll claw their ears off..."

The sight of the supposedly grouchy older warrior staying still for her sister warmed her grieving heart. Snowkit, despite being the same age as her, was more like her little sister than anything. If not for their personalities, then for the overwhelming rush of protectiveness and love for her. She had always loved Snowkit- being self-proclaimed sister's just ended up making her realize it and brought them closer together.

The happiness and warmth of the thought dropped away as Hollowstorm, Snowkit's original father, stepped forward. Bluebellpaw wasn't sure why, but Hollowstorm never failed to make her nervous, to put it nicely. Disgusted, if you wanted to be literal. She'd never seen the two together, and he never seemed to care too much for her. She stepped a little closer to Gingerfrost, feeling a little protected within the reach of the shield, and watched as he gave his condolences. She almost hisses out loud as he went to go grab a piece of prey. Her mother was dead, his deputy no less, and he doesn't even try to control his appetite?

The next words he utters to her leader brings rage brimming to her surface, and she can feel her usual gift for self-control slipping away. "My mother, your deputy, is dead!" She screeched, anger and pain bringing the words to a sharp edge that she drove into the older tom's fur. "Have you no shame? You're an awful, awful cat, Mr. Hollowstorm! Miss Fawnleap is right!" And with the last of her anger and energy exhausted, she slumped forward a little, leaning her forehead into Gingerfrost, muffling her sobs.

➣ As soon as she sat down beside Fawnpaw, the fluffy black-and-white molly was a little surprised when the young medicine cat almost immediately pressed her forehead into her shoulder. For a moment, all of the uneasy sickly feelings that churned inside of Cloudpaw's stomach seemed to fade away, at least for a little bit, and a voice whispered to the RiverClan apprentice. “Everything is going to be okay.” It said to her, despite the morbid circumstances. Even as they all mourned the loss of their beloved deputy, Cloudpaw had a strange sense of hope that they would get through this as a clan. That RiverClan would prevail and honor Slatewhisker, but not lose themselves in the process. After a few seconds, the young she-cat allowed herself to turn and look at Fawnpaw, who had already been trying to catch her gaze. The two of them looked at one another in a silent understanding. However, like a cruel claw slicing through them, the moment soon ended, rather abruptly, as Hawkpaw spoke up, which seemed to take all of Fawnpaw’s attention. It only got worse from then on.

Noticeably, Cloudpaw could feel the RiverClan medicine cat’s anger, her hackles rising and her eyes showing a fire that she had never seen before as she stared at Hawkpaw like he had just spit on Slatewhisker’s body. Her voice was laced with venom as she lost her temper, remarking how they should be grieving and not looking to end another life. Cloudpaw agreed, sticking close to her friend, staying relatively calm… that was, until Hawkpaw growled and hissed at her. Immediately, the black-and-white apprentice’s head snapped around to lock onto the tomcat. “Don’t you dare hiss at her, you heartless asshole!” The RiverClan molly practically roared, her lips peeling back into a snarl as she rose to her paws, her tail lashing behind her as she looked at Hawkpaw with murder in her eyes. This was an apprentice who had trained in the Dark Forest, been trained how to deliver a killing blow to another living cat, and right now, Cloudpaw wanted to unleash the fury of every cat in this forest upon this cat, who was supposed to be her own clanmate. “I’ll rip out your throat if you ever talk like that to her again.” She growled slowly, obviously threatening Hawkpaw without a second thought, rage bubbling hot in her veins. In the heat of it all, another cat budded in: Silverpaw. In a way, she seemed as angry as Cloudpaw was for the disrespect that Hawkpaw had shown Fawnpaw. The black-and-white molly regretted nothing. Letting all those chained-up emotions within her be let out, even if just for a short while.

The whole event soon calmed down though, as Fawnpaw and Hawkpaw meowed their apologies for lashing out. Cloudpaw wouldn’t dare apologize for anything. Neither would Silverpaw, the two apprentices seeming to have a shared understanding of protecting RiverClan’s medicine cat. She looked to Fawnpaw then, seeing her look at Beansprout and then at her with a look of terror. Not because of what Hawkpaw did, nor what she and Silverpaw did, but for what she herself did. That made Cloudpaw’s wildfire within her chest simmer and her fur laid flat on her back. The brown-furred healer soon curled in on herself and only looked at Slatewhisker. Cloudpaw silently sank down to the ground too, resting her tail around Fawnpaw gently as she rested her chin on the medicine cat’s shoulder. The anger slowly trickled out of Cloudpaw and she allowed herself to return to grieving.

< @SpiritedWarrior @cloudy sky @birdie | open for reactions, etc. >
( I'm working on Pikestar's reaction rn, but have this in the meantime, ahaha. )

Nightpaw turned to cloudpaw in a little of fear but got up "w-we shouldnt be really be getting at some... newcomer, It was rude to disrespect a medicine cat" she gave a glare at hawkpaw, she wasnt messing around, no one disrespects a medicine cat... not even newcomers "we dont really want a scene. I know hawkpaw was being a jerk, lets hope he learned not to disrespect the medicine cat again" Nightpaw turned back to cloudpaw. She was more likely startled from cloudpaw's anger as she stepped back a bit.

@SpiritedWarrior -for mentioning hawkpaw a few times-

(this is before her incident, pls dont get mad at me :< )
