RiverClan Skyridge

[Fawn]

Fawnsqueak stepped out of the way as the rogue was being escorted from camp, his questioning gaze flicking from the scene to the golden boy perched on top of the Streamstone. Proceeding forward, he took a seat near the rest of his clanmates and exhaled his anticipation away. Witnessing the chat between Eagleflight and Lionstar, he already had an idea of where this conversation was headed but still wouldn't put it past Lionstar to be calling one solely to hear himself talk. After the raid, things had been... quiet in the Clan. Curious, he wondered if this would include the appointing of a new deputy -- if it did, he sincerely hoped this wouldn't be another attempt at asking him to fill the role.

Iceflower plucked the little bits of moss from her pelt, spitting them to a side as she heard Lionstar screeching about some thing or another. It would give her something better to do than sit around watching those squishy fur bags all day, but it better be important. Not waste of time again.

Littleriver was laying down next to her brother, her tail twitching.


When Lionstar called the meeting she nudged the pale tom with her nose.


"C'mon Deersplash."


He groaned and started moving towards the meeting.


Littlestar sat curiously however, ears perked forward.

[Dust]

Pebblepaw bounded over to the Streamstone, his head held high in excitement. Lionstar sure did call a lot of meetings, but that didn't matter to him - he admired the tom cat! Puffing out his cheeks, the feline took a seat beside a few other clanmates, craning his neck in hopes of spotting his siblings... With his recent (and frequent) strange sleeping patterns on tyop of the training with Firehawk, it had been a while since he'd seen Graypaw or Pigeonpaw. Well, he'd maybe seen the tail-end of Pigeon.. but Gray? His nest was getting cold... Either way, it wasn't important right now! They would both turn up soon.

[pidgeon]

Eagleflight took a seat a bit farther away from the Streamstone than usual. He knew that his stepping down would be addressed, and his pelt was hot with embarrassment. What would his clanmates think? Would they see him as weak? Would anyone even want to participate with him in the new tactics Lionstar had assigned him to cover? He'd have to wait and see. He tried not to let his nervousness show outwardly.

Pigeonpaw trotted into the clearing when she heard the familiar summons. It felt like it had been a while since a clan meeting had been held, unless the raid counted for that. She wondered what this could possibly be about. She'd received a battle training session at last--perhaps they were staging another raid? One that she could participate in! Her heart raced at the thought, and she looked around for any familiar faces. Particularly, for Graypaw. She hadn't seen him in what felt like ages, and it worried her. But soon enough she spotted Fawnsqueak, and trotted over to him.

"I wonder if this'll be anything important?" She wondered out loud, making idle chatter as she took a seat, wrapping her fluffy tail around her paws for warmth. She wondered if her friend had seen her brother around anywhere. Maybe she'd ask after the meeting.

Sparkheart padded out of the warriors den after resting for a bit. The Tom sat down along his clanmates and looked up at Lionstar. He had no clue what this meeting was about.

~~~

Snailblossom felt a little awkward, being in Riverclan, but the feel ing she had was of safety. She hadn't felt safe back at her home in Windclan. Wait that was no longer her home. She couldn't even recognize the cats that roamed the Windclan territory. The tuxedo Molly looked up at Lionstar with her good eye.

It was already ambitious enough of him to approach the older warrior, so he was glad that he wouldn't have to start the conversation all by himself. Sagehawk glanced up at Lionstar, making sure that the meeting wasn't about to begin, before he looked back over at Dirtfur. "How are you?"

Oh, wait—their names! Lionstar said them! He said Sagehawk's name! The warrior's eyes darted back to the leader, and he sat rigid, listening to him. "A rogue?" he asked. The gray tom stood, scanning the clearing. Did he mean that cat over there? Sagehawk approached the faintly familiar cat [ @|:|Shadowsight|:| ], frowning at him. He hesitated and glanced over at Dirtfur, unsure what to do.

Mistpaw ran off.

[BEAR.]

Now that the trespasser was gone, Lionstar waited a moment to allow Sagehawk and Dirtfur to return before he continued.

"RiverClan," his voice boomed, crackling with the intensity. "Once more, RiverClan has lost a deputy, as Eagleflight has resigned from his position. It's a shame, but I am glad he will be remain an active part of our Clan as a warrior and I am placing him in charge of a special task I will touch upon later in this meeting.

"In the meantime, the first order of business I will be doing today is appointing a new deputy in his place." Lionstar paused, giving the Clan a moment to process these words before he would continue.

He knew who he wanted already, that wasn't a problem. Hopefully, this cat would fare better than his last two-- he'd be sincerely upset if not.

@pathos

Dirtfur stared blankly at the rogue as he ran away like he was on fire! I hate fire, he reminded himself. The brown tom returned to his seat, waiting for Lionstar to talk about the first announcemen- What?!
Eagleflight resigned his position as deputy? Deep down, he thought Eagleflight will be a good deputy, but he seems to be wrong. The survivor would've felt sorry for the old deputy and accepted his decision. instead, the tabby heard an unfamiliar voice -no... tons of voices! Dirtfur, Dirtfur, Dirtfur, Dirtstar, Dirtstar! The old warrior hoped that the new deputy would be him! His dreams... WILL BE ACOMPLISHED! He couldn't wait to tell Wicker!

Hazelberry's eyes lit up at the prospect of a new deputy. What happened to Eagle?.. She sought him out in the crowd of Riverclan and was relieved to notice him among the cats, leading her to believe Lionstar's concept of a resignation wasn't as ominous as she thought it might be. Wriggling through the crowd, she held her breath once he was within reach, a smile on her muzzle as she regarded him kindly. "You were a great deputy!" she whispered, hushed to avoid disturbing the meeting. Hazelberry had no metric to judge that, but he had always been fun and cute, of course he was good at his job! Sitting down next to him, she redirected her focus to Lionstar, front paws paddling in place while anticipation lapped at her.

[Silhouettes]

Dandeliondream looked up in surprise. How could Riverclan go from two to no deputies in just a few moons. How was that even possible? Her sighted eye dancing around the clearing to find Eagleflight, the cowardly traitor. Not being able to find him from her angle, she supposed it was for the best. If he even showed a glimpse of his fur she would be ready to smack him in that hollowed head of his. A slight glimmer of hope that somehow she would be named deputy in his stead was glowing in her mind. A small smile couldn't help but form on her maw at the idea. A scoff quickly replaced the idea, though she couldn't help but straighten her posture. Looking up at Lionstar her sharp eyes were dutifully glued to the golden tom. The molly saw it quite disrespectful if someone didn't give all their attention to their leader, and would've shot some icy glares at the not-so-attentive members of the clan if she wasn't so responsibly listening to the meeting.
