ShadowClan Territory

[dionysus]

[ @Redtalon @Pepperkins @bmkmb ]

The other members of the patrol barely registered on Dogsnarl’s radar and she kept walking without slowing down or making way for the leader to lead. If he wanted to lead the patrol then he could fight her for the first position- whichever one of these toms he was.

Dogsnarl didn’t pay attention to gender. She had no emotions when it came to other cats’ opinions on gender or any less than fair remarks. It was mousebrained to think something so minuscule as gender would render her incapable of ripping someone’s throat out and any biased showed more about the other’s stupidity than her own ability.

The russet feline flicked her ear and scrunched her nose as she continued to trudge through the forest toward the Windclan border. Already she could smell that sickly saccharine smell of heather that she couldn’t understand how the bunnies stood. Ugh. She just wanted to find a patrol to rough up and be done with it.

Another patrol? And another time with hunting? Doetuft could in all honesty admit she was tired of hunting... at least a border patrol had the chance to experience something exciting. Instead here she was moving over to the gathering cats who'd called her name. This... would be miserable. She didn't even have anyone to keep her mood up, so it was sour mood for today. Teach the blind cat to be stealthy, what a joke... but the apprentices would most definitely need it... and so that was why she flickered her ears steadily before, not letting Fawnwhisper lead as originally said, she just waved her tail and led the patrol out. They had to keep moving, they did not want Dawnstar on their ass... or at least Doetuft didn't want to be the one to suffer those consequences. "Come... on." So moving further out the molly sat down as soon as they reached what she was able to sense as semi darkness, and directing her blind gaze on the apprentices and Fawnwhisper, "Are any... of you... semi good... at stealth training?" She was experienced... because it was her life. Darkness. But she knew many cats were just too dependent on the light and she doubted that Fawnwhisper was as proficent in managing around in the dark as she was. But... the other warrior could surprise her.

Chickadeepaw trailed behind. "My mentor hasn't taught me anything about stealth training yet." She mewed. The fluffy apprentice had only been taught hunting so far, but she wasn't even good at that yet.

[ afaik Fawnwhisper was supposed to lead it but Doe's impatient so she... just wants to get this done]

So. None of them knew anything. Unable to help the eyeroll, the blind molly settled further into her spot on the ground, and couldn't resist the long sigh she let out. Doetuft had no intention of leading this patrol but it seemed her fellow warrior was not as confident in the arts as she should've been possibly. And then that... one apprentice Doetuft directed her blind gaze upon them, "I didn't... ask... if you had... experience hunting. I asked... about stealth... training." She wasn't this groups' mentor and she was already tired. Her mind was taking a heavy toll on her concentration and well... she had to keep this moving. So standing up, she shook out her fur and decided to just... demonstrate and hope they would follow or at least try their best. "Since it is... not dark out... I want you all... to close your... eyes." That was the only way they could learn despite the setting sun. It would still shine for long. And it wasn't like she had to close her own eyes to... not see. "Stealth training... is entirely... dependent... on moving unseen.... in the dark and not... making a sound... or something unnatural... that alerts... prey or an enemy." Slowly it was coming back to her, she'd taught this... or well had been there and helped out when she was an apprentice and Beastspark had asked her for help. She was... a natural in this because it was how she lived her life. "Close your... eyes and move... around. Try... not to make a... sound." In the mean time... she would try to comprehend her thoughts. "Fawnwhisper... if you want to... lead this... feel free... but you should... speak up... if so." Doetuft couldn't read thoughts... just like she couldn't read facial expressions either.

"oh." Littlepaw said. "Well, I guess my pure white pelt won't help me there..."

Instead of listening and waiting for her group, Fawnwhisper had already got a move on. Silently. Her gait wasn’t crouched like the usual sneaking position, but instead it looked almost normal except for her paws, which were angled awkwardly horizontal with the ground. Her claws were also unsheathed, but had no reason to. Despite this awkward-looking way of sneaking, it worked perfectly. She turned around after a good distance. “Guys?”

Shuddering to the ground, Jag collapsed. The weight of the cat on his back was to much, and he couldn't hold it up in his condition. Still, terror was upmost at this point, even in his irrational frame of mind that had possessed him to attack in the first place. Trying to lash out with his paws, one got caught under his own body. Struggling to free it, he inflicted more wounds to himself, dripping blood now from his underside. Released from the crush, he staggered to his feet and tried to flee, but he was quickly hit by the first cat. The mocking, the hits. It was like they were playing with him. He hated it, but.....he couldn't do anything other than swing weakly at his attacker. Vaguely noticing the other cat backing away, he was unable to stand without any breath, collapsing again. (Feel free to kill him as gorily as you would like.) @~-Stealth-~ @ChillCat

Scorchstrike couldn't look. But she didn't want Sunpaw to see a cat die, so the guarded her while pleading with Ghosttail. "Come on, this is wrong and you know it. He doesn't have to die!" @gs29513 @~-Stealth-~ @RussetShade

Windstrike
[ @Redtalon @bmkmb @Beau ]

His stubby tail flicked as he chuckled in amusement, slowing his trot to a walk as he caught up to the she-cat, glancing back to see Rockbrain catching up along with the other tom. He couldn't quiet figure out that last tom, but no matter, he wasn't here to make friends, or particularly enemies, but that would depend on the others. Either way, looks like everyone was finally out of camp and the putrid smell of the bunny lovers was filling his senses.

Wrinkling his nose, Windstrike looked up and down the border, no cat in sight or scent. His smirk dimmed slightly at the thought they may not come across another patrol, but a quick remembrance of what they had been assigned to do brought it back immediately. Walking closer to the border, he stepped right over and started to mark a little ways into the rabbit brain's territory. If Twinkletoes didn't notice this by time they were done, then obviously she was just as stupid as the rest. That would teach her to accuse Shadowclan of something he was sure they didn't do.

(this is sad tbh )


Ghosttail

..........................................

As Ghosttail stood over the cat, he noticed Scorchstrike backing away with Sunpaw... and he thought about Swiftpaw. He wouldn't want Swiftpaw to see this... "Maybe you're right." He backed away as well, and just as he did... wham! He was bonked on the head. "That... was a mistake." He panted these words and (tried to, i'm not a powerplayer) sank his fangs into the cats neck, hopefully ending them.

At least, he decided, this crew was decently productive. Not that he had ever gone on a patrol where cats hadn't been. If there was even one feline who had a chance at claiming authority over the others, then the patrol would usually go well enough. This time, there were four. Whether or not that would make their group better than others was still up for debate.

They were fully capable of fighting for themselves, that was for certain.
