⋆✦⋆ Dreampaw was in camp. In fact, he'd returned alone from training at Sandy Hollow with a grimace on his face rather than the usual overconfident grin. It had been all evening and nobody in camp had heard his maniacal cackling. There were no loud outbursts. No unsolicited reminders of The Dark Warrior's awesomeness.

Needless to say, in a sense, it was peaceful. Though perhaps the mind of Dreampaw was anything but.

He'd tried to make himself useful by helping the elders but today their stories annoyed him. So for the last hours he'd been reinforcing the camp's thorn bush perimeter with even more thorny brambles and deadened greenbriers (cursing quietly to himself each time he pricked a pawpad in his half-focused state).

It wasn't until moonrise that the thought occurred to him. He hadn't seen Asterflame return to camp yet. It was odd. But they had argued earlier so maybe he shouldn't care.

Still, Dreampaw approaches the first warrior he sees still mingling outside the dens.

"Hey, Asterflame hasn't come back yet. I want to go looking. It's never been like this. Maybe others can help. The Dark Warrior requests it," it is not his usual demanding tone and it is not even as deep as usual. Instead his speech is short and lacked conviction rather than flowery and magnificent. He dodges explaining how the two of them had gotten in an argument while training and there had been bad blood between them as of this morning. He didn't feel like explaining that. He felt like something was wrong but he needs permission to go searching because he knows he can't go alone.

/ short thread since he needs permission to leave camp. Characters who agree to go on a search patrol will be @tagged in the continuation thread that will be posted in a few days. The search patrol will not come across any immediate danger but the thread will have sensitive topics just fyi. <33

    personality ▹

    The self-proclaimed 'Dark Warrior,' Dreampaw is mischievous and proud of his power. He appreciates a good prank or joke and has earned himself disapproval from his peers for his fondness of causing trouble. He's easily excited and makes decisions on a whim, often driven forward by his impulsive nature. Although he hates losing, he sees every defeat as 'preparation for victory,' and waits patiently for opportunities to present themselves.

    Despite the title he gives himself, Dreampaw isn't as sinister as he claims to be. Rather, he's simply an eccentric and somewhat socially awkward youth with a taste for theatrics. Even so, he knows how to portray an intimidating persona that, combined with his impressive natural skills and thirst for power, help make him live up to his self-appointed title.

She had noticed Dreampaw's more quiet nature today, but she hadn't thought much about it. It was unusual for him yes, but everyone had off days, so she had decided to not pry.

It was now moonrise, and she was still awake. Thoughts about the oncoming journey were too fresh on her mind. This could be one of my last few nights in Thunderclan? She was simply too awake to sleep now...she would have plenty of things to tire her out here soon. She closed her eyes briefly, but she was alerted by Dreampaw's voice. "She hasn't? Are you sure?" she asks curiously. Surely Asterflame had returned, right? Perhaps he just been busy earlier and hadn't seen his mentor return. "Let me check the Warrior's Den, then we can go from there." her voice was quiet, not wanting to wake any one. She turns and heads towards the den, disappearing for a few moments.

She reemerges, heading towards him shaking her head slowly. The young tom was right, Asterflame was indeed not in there. "When was the last time you saw him?"

a pointed ear is turned to the request for help dreampaw places on flamewhisker. a missing mentor, it wasn't uncommon for warriors to venture off but the apprentice seemed incredibly worried. flamewhisker goes to double check first before alerting the whole camp, surely that would be appreciated by exhausted warriors.

however, the lead warrior came up empty in her search. nightbird's brows lower as she finally decides to join the duo, an extra set of paws would be useful. quietly she pads over to sit with them, flicking an ear in greeting to both as she did. flamewhisker had asked the most helpful question at the moment, so she just sat idly, silently pledging herself to help the cause.

    nightbird is a small black smoke molly with pale silver eyes. a loner turned thunderclanner, her loyalty and drive to provide for her clan is unwavering. however, she is not known for harboring a bleeding heart, instead equipped with sarcastically fueled wit, brutal honesty, and a sharply edged tongue.

⋆✦⋆ It's Flamewhisker he finds first and somehow he feels worse than he already did just by looking at her. She and the other volunteers would be leaving soon…on a journey to save them no less. It almost hurt worse than Asterflame being stupid.

Yet Asterflame was still missing.

Dreampaw doesn't bother speaking as the red tabby lead inquiries if he was sure. He was sure but he shakes his head as if he wasn't. When he was left alone as Flamewhisker checked the warrior's den, he sighed and watched the nearly full moon that had begun to rise higher in the sky.

She returns empty-handed with no obvious clue to his mentor's whereabouts. Dreampaw nods in vague appreciation as Nightbird joins them, her countenance as serious as ever. He was beginning to feel a little better, but not Dark Warrior levels of enthusiasm better. With Nightbird and Flamewhisker's help, no task could be too grand.

Asterflame's probably out being a stubborn mouse-brain, he thinks with some relish though he's completely unaware of how hypocritical his thoughts are after brooding around camp all day following his and his currently missing mentor's spat. "I haven't seen him since midmorning. We got into a disagreement at training so I came back to camp. He said he went off hunting."

But no mater how dedicated a cat was to their hunting session, Dreampaw thought any warrior would have returned to camp by now.

it had been a long time since mid-morning, and while it wasn't odd for warriors to be off for a long time, alarms were always raised when someone failed to return to their nest. nightbird sends a concerned glance to flamewhisker before turning back to the apprentice before them.

"where were you training? we'll start there, see if we can catch a scent." pushing her body up to a stand, the lead warrior glanced around for anyone else who may have been available. choosing's were slim, most resigned to their nests. with a wave of her tail, she urged the small patrol to the entrance to begin the search.

She felt a yawn coming on as she sat outside the apprentices’ den. Spottedpaw’s jaws splayed wide, and a couple of needle-sharp teeth glinted in the dying sunlight. She was looking forward to curling up in her den, but as she lifted a paw and turned to duck into the den, she halted. Her acute ears swived backwards. There was some commotion.

The calico she-cat pranced over to where Dreampaw, Flamewhisker, and Nightbird were gathered – focused on listening in as she approached. ”Huh? If we can catch a scent? A scent of who? Something’s wrong?” She crept closer to insert herself into their group. ”Or is this some secret night hunting party?” She asked in a more hushed voice. She was tired but she didn’t want to miss out in anything like that. ”If so, I’m going.”

Reactions: nightbird


"Sandy Hollow. Let's go there," Dreampaw would offer with a voice that was still quieter than usual. He felt off his game but he would follow Nightbird's lead as they made their way to the camp entrance.

Dreampaw can hardly muster a smile at Spottedpaw's interest. "Asterflame hasn't returned to camp. We're going to search for him. An extra pair of eyes couldn't hurt," he would mutter in her direction. He supposed Nightbird and Flamewhisker's presences would be permission enough if she wanted to tag along. Which he sounded like he wanted her to, grasping with some hope that even if it was not a night hunting patrol, it would still interest her. He needed Asterflame back. He still needed to make him apologize for what he said this morning and they had more training to do by sunrise and the sunrise after that.

  • DREAMPAW / t a g s
    9 moons / ftm trans (he/him)
    thunderclan apprentice / small dark tortoiseshell cat with hazel eyes.
    primary character / played by yamitisane
    powerplay of healing & minor offensive actions (shoving, slapping, small cuts, etc) allowed

    dreampaw is a genius and eccentric cat whose sole focus is becoming stronger than he already is. he's enthusiastic, entertaining, and loves pranks. however his looks can be deceiving as he is also aggressive and arrogant and frustratingly has the talent to make certain his words don't go unfounded. he has a fiery and wicked gaze, speaks with a deeper voice than his appearance would suggest, has an evil laugh, and calls himself the 'Dark Warrior.'
