Mirestar decides to fill old shoes today — although referring to it as such does not feel entirely accurate, not when they had been a deputy just a moon ago still. They've been reborn eight time over since then... and while Sharpshadow had been kind enough to take on that responsibility for them before, they do not wish to pressure what little remains of the council. The amount of changes they've been forced to undergo is enough.
"ShadowClan, it's time for patrols!"
The last time they had uttered those words, Mirestar had just started to shed self-doubts. Now, they wear it like second skin.
It is intentional, the way they do not reveal Chilledstar's words, the way they do not touch upon Lilacfur's good intentions and how those had spiraled into something vile... something that had taken Poppyglow's sight. Remaining quiet seems like the best option. Mirestar is adamant about heralding their Clanmates through the storms, without getting bogged down in all the details.
"I will lead a patrol to WindClan. Lilacfur, Flintwish, Bloodwing — come with me." It is nigh time they check up on their neighbors. "As for ThunderClan... Mapletuft, please take Halfsun, Thrasherthroat and Batchaser with you. I know we have our suspicions, but we want to prepare our counter accordingly and at our own pace. Stay safe." They deliberately choose this set of cats; Mirestar does not intend to allow Flamestar's Clan to remain unpunished, but a regular border patrol does not need to shed blood.
The next order of business: food. After the Clan's safety is reinforced, one must pay special care towards keeping everybody's bellies full. With plenty of kits in the nursery, and with leaf-bare inching ever-closer, Mirestar wants to extend their reach as much as possible. "I would like two hunting patrols. Amberhaze, will you take Scalejaw, Sharpshadow and Willowburn with you? Check the tunnels under the Thunderpath. Mice might be lurking in the shadows there... and that way, you can check if we've had any surprise visitors lately." They have not forgotten the strange scents drifting along the way to Highstones. Surely, ShadowClan does not need to brace itself for intruders?
"Salamandersnap, I'm sure the Carrionplace has something to give us. Wormwatcher, Shalestorm and Ferndance can go with you. Check every nook and cranny." With any luck, one might not even need to bother with perfect hunting to gain something for their efforts.
"That should be good for now. Let us get to work!"
WINDCLAN @MIRESTAR
@lilacfur @FLINTWISH @BLOODWING
The moors still nurture some flowers, in their last efforts before frost takes over. It seems they are not the only ones with that thought; there is a bunch of bees in this area, buzzing frantically as they flit from one petal to the next. Just don't get stung!
THUNDERCLAN @MAPLETUFT
@Halfsun @THRASHERTHROAT @BATCHASER
Tension is palpable. ThunderClan remains blissfully unaware... or maybe they are just trying to get on the ShadowClanners' nerves by playing dumb. Mirestar has warned not to bite off more than you can chew, but how can you possibly do that, when your Clanmate's blood has been spilled right here?
THUNDERPATH TUNNELS @Amberhaze
@scalejaw @SHARPSHADOW @Willowburn
An earthquake might as well be taking place, with how the tunnels shake with each monster passing by. Plus, the roof is leaking with raindrops here and there, courtesy of leaf-fall rains... they keep dropping onto your nose! Nobody can work in these conditions.
CARRIONPLACE @SALAMANDERSNAP
@Wormwatcher @shalestorm @FERNDANCE
A dog has been set lose in the Carrionplace! It bears a sturdy collar around its neck, showing that it belongs to Twolegs. Do you dare to try and scavenge while it sniffs around, or do you turn tail and run? Getting hurt is OPTIONAL! Don't fret. <3
