WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

EEEEEEE. Suddenly his pillow moved away from him and Stagpaw could only watch as Mushy moved away quickly - he hadn't been sleeping had he? - and then proceeded to blink. And blink again. Wait... wait he still had honey on his face? He hadn't realized that WOW! Sticking out his tongue the apprentice tried his best to reach another part of his face but of course he did not have that long of a tongue and his tongue was no very useful and he gave a sigh of defeat. Apparently he would not get the honey that was sticking to his head.

"Bees are no fun, that was what happened... Don't have a bee hive fall on your head its not smart and it hurts very much." Approximately what had happened to him. When Mushy began sniffing the stings though, Stagpaw started weeping again. They HURT! "Stings HURT! A LOT!"

WindClan Patrol Reports

Borders & Hunting
-> Patrols are to be reported here to either Breezefeather [ @Arie ] or Twilightstar [ @Moonraven]
It depends entirely on who assigned them

Herb
-> Snailswirl [ @elysian ] and Coldamber [ @Rainquail ] will also assign herb patrols from here, and if you're assigned on them you report back to this thread.

The place is located in the WC Clearing, but to be reported here.

It is the patrol leader's task to report the patrol but
if the patrol leader is unavailable it falls to the other members
to make sure the patrol is reported in. If a cat fails to report in
multiple time they're subject to punishment at Breezefeather's discretion.
Patrols are be to reported within the time frame [7-8 days] set, although
extension can be allowed if you VM the one who assigned them,
or ask another patrol member to report in, in your stead.

[Remember to mention the one of us who assigned so we get your report]

But then something more challenging could also prep the cat. Snailspark couldn't decide herself, so she let it be up to the apprentice. After all, it was her training session.

"I wanna do something challenging!" Coyotepaw beamed confidently with a single excited lash of her tail. Her claws flexed in the loose dirt of the training moor as she awaited further instruction. "I wanna be able to beat anybody I want! That way the Clan will always be safe, 'cause they'll have me!" She was maybe a little bit too excited to get started with battle training.

[ @Arie haha worth it ]

Of course a beehive fell on his head, why hadn’t Mushy thought of that in the first place? Maybe because it was completely ridiculous! Then again, it was also something he could easily see Stagpaw doing. The Tom sighed and closed his eyes to try to center himself for what was sure to be an interesting evening.

“Have you gone to see Coldamber? I’m sure she has herbs that will help with the pain.”

He didn’t even bother asking how this had happened. Knowing Stagpaw, he’d done something dumb to a beehive and the universe had immediately repaid him. As cynical as Rushingmoor was about his adoptedish son’s antics, the tears melted him and he pulled Stagpaw close to comfort him, carefully avoiding his painfully swollen head.

[ speaking of sons, should we do an Rp with Mushy asking Stagpaw if he could call him his son? I think that would be cute ]

Sparkfrost padded out of camp with renewed energy, his previous injury nothing but a faint twinge in his left leg, “If the dog has returned, I’ll definitely stand a better chance with backup.” He remarked, stump tail raised as he fought to quell his excitement. He was back on patrol, and with Sagebrook no less, whose company he had grown to enjoy.

"Yes," Sagebrook agreed, tasting the air as she padded alongside Sparkfrost. A light breeze ruffled her fur, and she felt lighter than she had for nearly a moon. Maybe it was the anticipation of a patrol that was doing her good, but glancing sideways at Sparkfrost, part of her knew that it was his company in particular. "How big would you say the dog was?" she added, eyes scanning the horizon ahead. "From your description, it didn't seem like just a loose Twoleg pet."

His voice was as tiny as he was himself, but there was a strange and very keen air of awareness surrounding the kit. "Where's Eldersky? I wanna see her too!" He spoke in short bursts, not really physically capable of filling his lungs up with the breath he needed to say everything. "She's my sister," Fernkit mews, looking proud, which he was. Proud, excited, and a little surprised at himself for making it so far!

[thank you <3 sorry i keep waiting on your acceptance, but having the explicit permission is comforting lol]
It was growing colder out, as the sea chilled and the land along with it. The evergreens that banded around ShadowClan remained lush, but the rest of the world seemed to enshroud itself in gray and brown. Color tones that warned of the oncoming leaf-bare. Leaf-fall was a fleeting season, but an important one for the Clans. It was their last opportunity to scrounge up as much prey as possible before everything went into hiding. Leaf-bare was a sleepy and dark season.
But Nettlespark had been thriving off of the prey the outskirts gave him. For moons, the young tom kept his hunting skills sharp and his senses practiced, all so that when he finally (yes, finally) made his mind up about what to do with himself, he could do so confidently. And so here he was, stalking through the tall grasses of WindClan's territory. Truthfully, he was a little lost. Despite having been to their camp briefly with a couple of his Clanmates, he couldn't call himself familiar with the route to get there. And he had begun to wonder if the clumps of grass and bushes around were the same ones he'd seen before. He was going in circles, and officially realized it when he finally caught his own scent. With a disgruntled yet incoherent grumble, the young brindled tabby decides to sit down for a rest and another hard Think.

As she listened to the little guy talk and observed him, she settled on a reborn, rebirth? The leader blanking on what to call it, but he was certainly from StarClan or maybe from the Dark Forest, but she's never heard anything about kits going to the Dark Forest, so she was going to settle on StarClan. If they had the power to hand out nine lives to every single leader that came their way or take them away, she supposes returning a kitten to its life wouldn't take much work. But why and now of all times?
"So your Eldersky's little brother?" Twilightstar iterated, but from the tone, it wasn't something she was looking for an answer for. Unfourtantaly, she wasn't going to be able to throw the kit in the nursery and leave it at especially if he kept talking like he was, it was stirrup trouble.
"You're from StarClan, you came down from the stars?" She might have to go and fetch Eldersky and explain what was going on, Fernkit clearly needed some special care so the rest of the clan don't think him too strange.

***
Where in the name of StarClan did this cat think he was going? Twilightstar rested her haunches on the chilly grass beneath her. Even when the sun was out, these days seemed to be cold with the wind constantly present. She puffed up her lilac pelt while observing the tom as walked around the moors aimlessly. She hadn't bothered following him, he was literally chasing his own tail and showed up in the same area only a bit later.
She was sure she had seen him before, Twilightstar didn't have the sharpest eyes in the clan, but the pelt stood out to her. She sat trying to recall where he had come from not long after he sat down, seemingly done with getting lost. ShadowClan was the only one that came to mind, the sight of him brought an uncomfortable feeling with it and that clan was the only clan she associated it with.
Twilightstar cast her gaze skyward with a deep inhale of fresh air, and then got to her paws and darted down the hillside at a controlled speed, covering the tree length between them.
"Why is there a ShadowClan cat in my territory?" Twilightstar asked, pushing through some heather as padded up to the tom.
[NP, you're good. Thanks for the patience.]

New Name: Bunnykit

Mention Me: @Moonraven

Bun-Bun had been freaking, her housefolks slipped her into a cage, she assumed it was a trip to the vet, her mother had told her about the vet and how they took kits there to make sure they were healthy, but they didn’t take her to the vet, she was in some big field. Her housefolks opened the cage and she nervously padded out and turned around to see her housefolks throw the cage in the back of the monster and jump in driving off. Bun-Bun began to chase after them mewling in confusion before sitting down feeling tired. What are they doing, why did they leave me here? she thought not really sad just confused. She didn’t see any food bowl around or and water bowls or a bed to nap on. What was she supposed to do,” Hello? Anyone here?” she asked hopefully.

She was doing her usual rounds around the territory, with Breezefeather around, she felt much better about leaving the camp here and there with him in charge. She kept her ears raised and her sense on alert, these trips often resulted in her finding a new face somewhere around here. The she-cat stopped near a gorse bush and stood still as stone, straining her ears as shear the softest sound. It could be nothing, but it never hurt to check. It was a bit of a walk, closer to the edge of the territory, she found a young who looked especially defeated and reeking of twoleg. Twilightstar made sure to check around for any sign of those wretched creatures, but she saw nothing.
"Tiny kittypet." The wild cat greeted, keeping her distance because of those gross scent. "Did you get separated from your twolegs?" Twilightstar didn't enjoy kittypets but their young were as innocent as the ones in her camp.

As of right now, he was missing, and wouldn't be treated kindly if he hunted on the territory of his former (and hopefully, future) Clan. He continued on his way, searching for a cat that could take him to the leader. @Moonraven

The tom didn't have to search too far, Twilightstar was out in the territory. She's never seen one around here before, and highly doubted if there were any they'd not be out here, but she wanted a hedgehog. Just one would do, she was interrupted in her hunt when she caught sight of the cat across the moor. She was concerned for about a second until she figured out who it was.
"Wolftail." She called out, waiting for the cat to come over. He has some explaining to do.

Twilightstar had smelt a fox, it wasn't fresh just there and it was bothering her. She was not keen on fighting a fox, so she was hoping she was wrong, but it was there in the back of her nose. So the leader went out to look for it, not to fighting, she wasn't stupid enough to believe that she'd win in a one on with a fox, more just to assure herself that it was there and to send out a patrol to hunt it down. However, instead of a fox, a cat ran straight into her, a cat who smelt like a fox.
"Greetings." Her voice came out perplexed staring out the outsider and took a whiff of her. She must have had a run-in with a fox, but she didn't see any wounds on her.
"You okay?" Twilightstar was more preoccupied with finding a fox over figuring out why there was yet another outsider in her territory.

"Yeah," they say begrudgingly, angling their narrowed eyes at the ground. They should find Crowkit, make up some funny story about where they've been. "Is Crowkit or my other siblings here," they ask, still not looking their leader in the eye.

Twilightstar was pleased to see that she didn't need to go into a deep lecture about it all. The kit still might want to go and visit Coldamber for a check-up. The leader flattened an ear as she tried to recall which kit Beekit was talking about. They've been gone for such a long time, she was certain they didn't have any current Crowkits in the clan, though.
"You'll have to see for yourself." Twilightstar meowed vaguely without giving an actual answer. "If I find you out of camp again, I'll make sure you won't become an apprentice any time soon." She warned, "you can head back to the nursery, though I think a visit to Coldamber might do you some good."
[We're done, I'll get her back in the allegiances later.]

(I forgot to mention, I adopted him and I'm not sure what exactly happened)

Wolftail's ears perked up. A familiar voice had reached him. Twilightstar. Well, apparently he didn't have to search for a fellow WindClan cat. The leader was right here. He made his way over there. "Hello, Twilightstar," he said when he reached the lilac she-cat. @Moonraven

“It was a large dog...a bit bigger than a fox. It didn’t seem like it belonged to Twolegs...it was lean and had no collar, so I’m assuming it was wild.” Sparkfrost admitted. However rare, there was a bit of trepidation in the warrior’s voice—usually brazen and candid, he couldn’t help but remember how easily the dog had flung him across the moor, as if he weighed no more than a mouse. He stiffened his shoulders and put the thought aside as he padded through the high grass, his cyan eyes bright against the shadows of dusk.

raven looked up, what should she say what should she start with. "im ok b-but me and my mom were attacked by a fox and well my mm died saving me she told me to find help" raven looked down just the thought of it made her mad. raven looked back up "can you help me. i dont know what im doing or how to live on my own" @Moonraven
