grew up in a small town - PATROL ASSIGNMENTS

[Flamestar]

Sleep still clung to her eyelids as she emerged from the warrior den. She had hardly slept last night, and even though this was not her first time assigning patrols, she still found herself nervous. Flycatcher had been Thunderclan's deputy for seasons. She had stayed up until well after moon high planning on who she would send where, who to send with who, which clanmates she wanted to hunt. Even after she had the patrols determined, she was far too awake to sleep peacefully.

The fiery tabby padded to the spot where Flycatcher usually gathered everyone. It didn't take long before her clanmates were already gathering, all waiting to be instructed on todays plans. Feeling everyone's stares made her nervous at first, causing her to nearly forget her plans. You'll have to get used to this. She took in a deep breath to reset, then looked upon the gathered warriors with a newfound sense of seriousness.

"For this morning's patrol along the Skyclan and Riverclan border, I would like Roeflame to lead. Bring Skyclaw and Falconheart with you.

I will be leading the dawn patrol to the Shadowclan and Windclan border. Leafhusk, Pebblestep, you two are with me.

The dusk patrol to the Riverclan and Skyclan border will be lead by Shiningsun. Freckleflame and Mousenose will accompany you. Be on alert for any rogues that could be near the Skyclan border.

Sunfreckle, I trust you to lead the dusk patrol to the Windclan and Shadowclan border. Take Duskbird and Barleysight with you...Please be cautious, they've been too quiet lately.

Honeydapple, Spiderlily, I want you two to each take out a hunting patrol. You may choose who you would like to bring.

Raccoonstripe, you are in charge of today's training session. You are free to choose which skill you would like to brush everyone up on."

[GENTLESTORM]

I SEE A SONG OF PAST ROMANCE — His mountainous form appears at the call of patrols offering a small smile in encouragement for the new deputy and he knows it'll take some time getting more fitted into her role, after all, he had to get situated into his own position as medicine cat apprentice. He listens intently to the patrols being made silently approving of them within his mind before a soft hum draws out from his maw, he thinks about the shelf of herbs in the medicine den and those recently injured, he would need to get more poppy seeds and a few other herbs that he's running low on so he speaks up "Morning Flamewhisker. Would it be possible to get a few warriors for a herb patrol?" His helm tilts to the side hoping that his request isn't a ridiculous one or that he isn't overstepping seeing that she holds a rank higher than him, Hailstorm simply wished for a bit more herbs in the shelves and given how unpredictable leaf-bare can be, well, that only makes him more determined in doing so.

[WOLFWIND]

It was strange, that Flycatcher would no longer be one of the very first faces she saw each and every morning. Instead, it was his mate; pelt gleaming vibrant orange a direct opposite to Flycatcher's mild grey pelt. She's done it in his stead before. Now, if Wolfwind ever saw Flycatcher perched in this spot again, he'd be doing it in hers.

And apparently, Flamewhisker was no longer her friend, because she was completely disinterested in putting Wolfwind on a patrol on her first day free. The warrior sighs, nevermind how she had nearly tripped over a stump on the way to get here, sole eye simply not oriented in the correct way. She was ready to be out there. To be alert, aware. To keep the clan safe. Wolfwind would slip closer to the flaming molly. " How many mice to trade me for Honeydapple? Her old bones could use a rest. " Joking, of course, but the itching in her paws was pretty damn real.

When Hailstorm pipes up, she shifts her attention at once. It's not what she typically gets up to, but it's somethin', huh? " Oh! Scratch that, I'll come with. " she offers at once, no need for Flamewhisker to tell her what's what.​

 

[nightbird]

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ like wolfwind, she was left unassigned. usually she would just take this time to train, but the session from a day prior had left her muscles aching and her body tired. maybe it was from leafbare's cold claws, maybe she was starting to get old. either way, palepaw would'nt be missing much from one day off.

that didn't mean she had to be completely useless though, hailstorm requested paws for a herb patrol. how he found anything alive in this weather was beyond her, but a nice walk through the territory in search of greenery sounded good to her. "we'll come too," she offered, tail twitching towards where @Palepaw sat to beckon her along.

[FALCONHEART]

𓍊𓋼 Fslconheart feels proud of his mother for her accomplishment; after her mate being deputy for so long, she now takes his place. But it’s still strange to look at Flamewhisker as his mother and the clan’s deputy at the same time—just as it’s strange to look at Flycatcher as his father and a lead warrior. Sometimes he finds himself wishing selfishly that they both were just warriors, but both his parents serve important roles in ThunderClan, so he tries to stay positive. As he wanders over to stand before Flamewhisker, he shakes off the weirdness of seeing her assigning patrols with a smile and a chirp of, "Thanks, mom!"

Roeflame and Skyclaw are both nice clanmates—Skyclaw had been given their warrior name at the same time as Falconheart had, and Roeflame is his mentor’s mate, so of course she’s a good clanmate. Burnstorm really likes her, too, so the cream tabby’s view of her is generally positive. The young tabby tom strides over to the lead warrior as soon as he spots her, attempting to seem as casual as possible. "Let me know when we’re leaving," he says to her with a flicker of his white-tipped tail.​

​

 

[SHININGSUN]

☼ "Understood! This should give me a chance to extend another thanks to our neighbours for the herbs that they gave us." Shiningsun confirmed with a nod of his head, somewhat pleased with the task presented to him. Though a lingering sadness lurked over him as he failed to be with the RiverClan patrol. Maybe next time, he thought. Grinning, he then searched for his team so they could get ready for their shift.

[SPIDERLILY]

to be reborn , you have to die first .
︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

Still falling into step with his well-missed duties as a warrior, Spiderlily couldn’t help but agree that yes he missed his freedom, no longer trapped and left to his thoughts with curious kits, but that didn’t go to say he didn’t miss it. He did. In ways the warrior hadn’t been certain of until now, but with kits freshly apprenticed, Spiderlily had the enjoyment of sleeping with his mate in their shared nest.

He merely nodded, accepting his task that’ll take up some of the day, gathering himself onto paws, Spiderlily let odd-colored hues scan the crowd, body gravitating toward the camp’s entrance. “Hunting will begin shortly if anyone cares to join.” He rumbled afterward, coming to a slow halt beside the camp’s barrier, tail flickering. ​

thought speech​

 

[Flamestar]

As Hailstorm joined the gathering warriors, she hadn't put much thought to it. He smiled encouragingly, and she appreciated the gesture. It would certainly take time to get used to this...telling everyone what to do instead of being told. Having everyone's attention on her was definitely weird, and as her clanmates started to disperse she couldn't help but feel slightly relieved. Each day will get easier... she thought to herself. Many, many moons ago, she could remember saying the same thing to Flycatcher. He had felt the same way when he had been first promoted.

Her friend asked for some warriors for a herb patrol, and embarrassment flushed through her. You mouse brain...you forgot about the Medicine Cats! "Oh, yes! Of course." She glanced around, but before she could speak, Wolfwind and Nightbird offered their accompaniment. Flamewhisker nodded, and set her gaze on another figure nearby. "Take Burnstorm as well." Just like they were hungry, the predators were too. She wouldn't risk anything happening to Hailstorm, not with Berryheart sick. ​

[leafhusk]

thunderclan’s new beacon shined like the morning sun through the treetops; a sight that was now impossible to miss, even if it’s only been a few days. leafhusk made her way over, sleepiness making her pawsteps heavy. the molly perks her ears to listen. she tried to hide her disappointment for getting the dawn patrol, not wanting to make the new deputy feel anymore awkward than she looked. the simple mistake of forgetting a herb patrol makes her frown sympathetically.

“i’ll wait by the entrance for you and pebblestep.” she mews, bowing her head and turning on her heel.

[PALEFIRE]

Palepaw trotted idly over to the group in her mentor's shadow, flashing Flamewhisker a warm smile in greeting as they both paused in front of their new deputy. She wondered if the firey tabby was more excited or nervous about her new role. It was probably weird, suddenly being cast into such a weighty position; especially since she was replacing her own mate. Vaguely, the young apprentice wondered whether or not she would enjoy being called deputy some day. It had a nice ring to it, but when she thought about all that came with it, perhaps it was more fun just staying a warrior forever. Maybe the title of lead warrior was more her speed; following in the footsteps of her mentor!

She tuned back in from her spiraling thoughts just in time to hear Nightbird volunteer them both to accompany Hailstorm on his herb patrol. The lilac-furred molly perked up instantly, her pale blue eyes blazing with eagerness. "Yeah, that sounds fun! Much better than another day of training," she mused cheerfully, unaware that her mentor had been thinking exactly the same thing. Clan life could be exciting at times, but for the most part it was a bit tedious. Getting to take a break from the monotony of patrols and training by going out with their Medicine Cat apprentice would be a nice change of pace.

 

[Honeydapple]

Flamewhisker's call would take time to adjust to but Honeydapple couldn't help the warm smile wrapped softly on her muzzle. Thunderclan was in well deserving paws and positive change meant fresh beginnings for the clan. Knowing Flycatcher stepped down of his own will made the newest asset to their growing ranks all the sweeter. Trotting over with a raised tail she planter herself patiently beside Hailstorm. Dark ears flickering with rapt interest as assignments are passed around. Towards the end her own name is mentioned and surprise lights her pointed muzzle.

Pick whomever? Looking about, every cat was geared up to go on their own paths and the she-cat wasn't so sure who to bring. Shrugging it off, Honeydapple rises back to her paws and calls back. "Anyone that's free, you're more than welcome to join me!" Her tone is cheery and bright as she waits with readied paws.​
