Violetfreckle

The lilac tabby couldn't help but feel a bit smug as Bumblestar called the pebble-tossing duo out on their idiocy. She kind of zoned out as the leader went on, talking about some cat named Cracklepaw. Or, Cracklekit, she guessed. She didn't care. Violetfreckle was more focused on the way the sun streamed through the trees and landed in mesmerizing patterns on Bumblestar's pelt, catching Violetfreckle's attention as the leader moved. Even wearing an annoyed expression, the former RiverClanner couldn't help but feel herself soften a bit just looking at the other feline. As if some unknown tension in her muscles was releasing in the very presence of Bumblestar.

Well. Before she could think too hard about that, Violetfreckle heard the word "RiverClan" and zoned back in. At Bumblestar's statement, she let out a snort. If she knew RiverClan and Gingerfrost, they wouldn't do anything for moons. Maybe they would be ticked, but they would sit stewing in their irritation and complain, but do nothing otherwise. A more immediate threat caught her attention as well. Foxes, huh? Yeah, Violetfreckle could help take care of that. As the meeting was dismissed, she very nearly followed Bumblestar to the leader's den. But she stopped herself, a confused look working its way onto her face. Why would she do that? Well, yeah, she wanted to talk with Bumblestar, but she didn't even know what to talk about.

She did get a chance to say something when a kit stopped the leader and talked all big about beating up the foxes. 'Perfect', Violetfreckle thought, swiping her tongue over her jaws with anticipation. Tail held high, Violetfreckle approached Bumblestar as nonchalantly as she could muster. "Count me in for driving out the foxes, by the way. Just wanted to remind you that I can fight, y'know?" She had no idea what compelled her to do what she was about to do next, and would wonder about it for days afterward. But Violetfreckle leaned forward to give Bumblestar a headbutt to the other cat's shoulder, should she be allowed to. After this, Violetfreckle paused for a moment, eyes wide and brimming with pure confusion. Then, she regained her composure, gave an awkward cough and made up some excuse about hunting before dashing out of camp as fast as possible to go contemplate her life choices.

Blah blah blah, Goatscrunch was zoning out halfway through the meeting. His joints were sore, the clouds were threatening him, and he was chillier than ice on a stick. He grunted as he hobbled off, dipping back into his sarcophagus.

He walked away

Oh, meeting time! Drizzlecloud hadn’t even heard the call, so she was glad that Mudhound had popped in to let her know about it. She stood up from where she had been sat, slowly trudging her way out of the den. “Of course, I’d love to sit with ya, Muddy.”

She found a spot for them to sit, to which she patted the spot next to her with her tail, making a quiet ‘thump, thump’ sound with her tail. It would be nice to have a companion for this meeting, she thought–and she was glad that someone had approached her first rather than having to approach someone else.

She dipped her head close to her meeting-buddy, gently nosing at the fur along their neck and up towards their ear. “Do you think she’s going to address.. Y’know?” Cracklepaw and everything associated? What would be done? Unless she had already served him a punishment without her knowledge–in that case, she had absolutely no idea.

(I am so sorry I didnt get to this life got really busy really fast omg! If you wanna continue just a chit chat Im totally happy to move it to a private thread to hang but if you wanna cut things were i totally get it)




Before the actual announcements started Mudhound had seemed content enough but a little unsure, rasping a tongue along Drizzleclouds back (and easy place to reach for the maine coon mix) and hummed gently before chirping. "Dunno! I mean I hope so, even if Bumble-sis doesnt wanna punish Cracklepaw if she doesnt at least mention it cats may riot..... I heard thunderclan did that a lot around when I was a kit and I really dont want to see it now. On the other paw...... Im kinda worried? Im here for Bumblestar, she's kin but we dont agree and I dont wanna stand against her in this." A sigh and the tripod plopped a large head on the medicine cats back, using it as a temporary rest as their eyes scanned the meeting area and settled on Sprucepaw. "But I promised to protect some apprentices here..... And doing nothing is not protecting them so I'd have to speak up." The warrior seemed to shake themself from their melancholy and proceeded to attack the smaller molly's ears with a large tongue, muttering "Its being between a rock and another rock." Misremembering the idiom and getting distracted by a wayward herb scrap once caught in Drizzleclouds fur now caught in Mudhounds tongue.


Eventually though announcements started and Mudhound, with little to say that was not already word dumped, sat quiet bringing the medicine cats fur to protection through Bumblestars words.


Eventually though the devil topic about the devil came into focus and the meeting quickly ended. Mudhound seemed..... Not settled by the decision and frowned (an odd sight on the normally happy warrior) turning to the cat beside them. "Well something was done but...... I dunno what to think. But Im bad at thoughts, what do you think?"

Spiderthroat
@dino. || @elaif

The calico lifted his head as the topic of Hornets, realizing that oh! That's what they were, their name had changed. Bee topic huh? Letting out a snort the tom listened as Bumblestar spoke. His expression drooping slightly as Asterdance was mentioned. First his...he'll admit it. First his kit's gone and now? His Sun? The leaders announcement of him being the new Head Hornet rolled over him, like water beading off a leaf. Lost in the sadness of realizing that he was the last. Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around? He was supposed to die in some sort of battle or squabble a long time ago, not loose those he considered family.

Only refocusing back onto the meeting when his apprentice was mentioned. Ah yes, he'd heard of the stunt that was pulled at the gathering. Although just little bits of it truth be told. Sharp eyes finding the rather prickly tom in the crowd. As the leader spoke on, his smug expression grew more and more. Before long a toothy grin found it's way on his maw. A rare sight to see on the Hornet. Picking himself up, Spiderthroat made his way to the younger. An amused expression on his face.

"So...kit. Did somethin stupid huh?"

[elswhere]

Reedpaw attented, and then howled with laughter and did the griddy on Crackleskit before turning his attention else where.

Appleclaw huffed, With Cracklepaw being demoted, that would mean more cats in the nursery. All the more reason for hers to grow up so she could get away.

Drizzlecloud
Thunderclan
She/her

A gentle hum rumbled in her chest as she listened to Mudhound’s words–she could understand where they were coming from, on some level. It’s not like she had any siblings, but she was the clan’s medicine cat, and Bumblestar was their leader. Standing against her or disagreeing with her decisions sounded.. Daunting.

The weight on her back hadn’t been expected, so a quiet ‘huff!’ escaped her initially, but she quickly stabilized herself, providing an effective headrest for the warrior. “We’ll protect them, don’t you worry.” She nudged at her companion’s shoulder, giving them a reassuring nuzzle before she groomed the fur there, making sure that it laid flat and wasn’t sticking up in odd directions.

Ordinary news, for a while. They had lost another Hornet, and had gained a new one–Sharpclaw! Against all odds, Drizzlecloud held a sense of warmth towards the young warrior. He was a promising young tom–obviously, given his new title. Even if he was a stick in the mud sometimes, she was fond of him. She’d have to go and give him a few personal words of congratulations once the meeting was over.

Next came the news that she had been wanting to hear. Cracklepaw’s punishment–er, Cracklekit, now. She supposed that he could be under the watchful eye of his sister, now. Assuming that he’d be staying in the nursery with her… And any other punishments over the next moon were going to be taken care of by Spiderthroat.

Drizzlecloud sighed. A big ol’ sigh. “Well…” She slowly turned to Mudhound, looking conflicted. “We keep an eye on apprentices–and kits. Remember what I told you in my den. If any of them wish to sleep in the warrior’s den but someone gives you a hard time, they can sleep safely in my den.” She paused, flicking her tail. She supposed that Cracklekit’s punishment was… Fair. He had no more chances after this one–he’d be given the boot if he crossed any lines ever again. “Only time will tell what will happen… What will happen to him, at least.”

"Mmmmm...." Mudhounds fur was in as good of shape as it'd been in awhile thanks to Drizzlecloud though the warrior was quickly messing it up with a pursed crinkled muzzle and a single back paw lifting to lightly itch (and mess up) their side. All unconscious movements and it showed from a distant gazed fixed on the nursery. "I dunno, he'd just moved from the apprentices den to being with helpless kits..... I can only hope Mapleface will keep a close eye on him with him under her care." The thoughts of what that monster could do to a kitten frightened the large warrior, and even moreso did the thoughts that this still wouldnt make him reflect on his wrongdoings and regret his actions. "I just.... It feels like he's being punished but not taught? That he'll sit through this but not learn so not change. Maybe Im wrong.... I hope I am."

A worse thought was that this punishment was not for him so to speak, that it was for the clan and for the other clans opinions. Not like that they were punished, but that this was the supposed to be satisfying. .....All of this was too big thoughts for Mudhound really, and hurt their head while wilting their body.


"Bad thoughts, I dont wanna think anymore." They lifted their head off of the medicine cat and shook themself, giving her a weak grin "Wanna share a rabbit and maybe plan something for the kiddos later? I need a happy fix from playing with the apprentices and or kittens." Mudhound had been playing with a sort of play/training event for a bit and maybe Drizzlecloud wanted in.
