☀️;; Reedpaw rolled over in the sand and grass, her fur fluffed up not from aggression, but from surprise. She knew Morningpaw was an odd character, but she still tried to interact with him regardless. "Mm, no, not really." She replied simply, sitting down a few paces away, her tail swishing back and fourth. "I don't like to think of it as messing, I think of it more as playing-!" She stuck her tongue out and smirked. 

So there was someone there! Pebbleskip's heart caught in her throat as she raised her head, puffing up her chest a bit. "I could ask you the same question!" She called, glancing around. "My name is Pebbleskip of Sunclan. Finishing up a border run, no need for hostilities; I'm not here to cause trouble." While she wasn't required to tell him the truth, she had no reason to lie.

For a moment, she hesitated, wondering if she could get a better look around. She quickly dug her claws into the tree trunk and made her way up it a few fox lengths. Eventually, she caught sight of the other cat. He didn't quite look warrior-age yet, so she assumed he was an apprentice. But what was he doing out here by himself? Surely Briarstar didn't let her cats wander off on their own this far away from their camp? Maybe he snuck off...

"A 'paw all the way out here by his lonesome? You sure are bold, stranger." She chuckled a bit as she perched herself on a tree limb, watching curiously.

🌙;; Briarstar gave a nod of satisfaction. "I'm glad to hear that." Her attention drifted to the trees that overhung them high above. Some might swear they graze the sky itself. The she-cat gave a small sigh.


"The leaves will begin falling soon, I'm sure. I worry about a repeat of whitecough or greencough that swept through the clan last leafbare." She admitted. "I know you're a very capable apprentice, but I worry about it being so overwhelming..." Though often reserved, it was evident Briarstar was concerned about her clanmates.

{{ okay so I kinda had a wild idea for somethin to add to the plot, but I wanna know what you guys think. }}
{{ what I was considering was maybe before fall really hits, a huge storm blows through and heavily divides the two territories. This could either be via flood, isolating the clans from each other, or maybe it knocks over a bunch of dead trees and debris, etc. Either way the clans are separated and perhaps there's maybe an eclipse idk is that too cliche omg- }}
{{ Anyway though I feel this could be interesting bECAUSE maybe some of the cats are opposed to leaving, like 'no we can't leave, this has been our home for generations, we have to find a way to make this work,' and it causes a lot of tension?? and maybe there's a prophecy where a few cats are chosen to lead the others to a new home, kind of akin to that arc in WC but maybe not exact we'll have to see }}
{{ I also (hate to say it but) kind of want this event to cause the death of either Briarstar or Emberstar because I would like to have someone take over as a leader-figure but before we do that we need someone to fill the deputy position so I'm holding off on anything crazy till I think of a good prophecy and that happens :> }}
{{ Sorry for the wall of text but just wanted to hear your ideas/opinions! }}

Honeyflower || Roleplayed by tinyelephant || Moonclan || Warrior(although possibly Queen if toms can be queens?) || Honeyflower is a short-furred cream mackerel tabby with a small amount of white of his throat. He's built fairly average for a tom, not dainty enough to look feminine, but not enough to be outstanding at fighting. From his pale frame, his hazel eyes definitely stand out. || His parents never pushed Honeyflower or his siblings to be the best warriors growing up, and it was clear that Honeyflower had little interest in hunting or fighting the moment he had improved motor skills beyond that of stumbling everywhere. His interest in kits and everything to do with growing up gave the leader notice, and apprenticed him off to a former queen, whose kits were made warriors not too long ago. Honeyflower proved to be fairly average when it came to hunting or fighting, never going above or beyond but was sufficient. His mentor never pressed him about this, and instead encouraged his natural strength--his empathy and caring. He has a natural affinity for comforting cats near his age group or younger, Honeyflower loves you. Really, he does. He doesn't just like his friends, he loves them with an overwhelmingly complete loyalty. He cares maybe a bit too much about everyone and shows a stunning amount of affection for a species who normally only idealize a few cats. Honeyflower certainly has a lot of love to give, but he's also a bit over-excitable. To the point of complete distraction sometimes. Things that might only produce mild excitement in other cats, send this tom into fits of hyperactivity where it's nearly impossible to get him to focus. He celebrates louder than anyone, grieves the hardest, and feels pain and anger far more keenly than he rightly should. He has so much energy and sheer feeling in him, that it is difficult not to feel fond of him even mere seconds after meeting him. He's genuinely glad to see you, whoever you are, and is a force of positive energy. When it comes to fighting or just life in general, Honeyflower is absolutely fearless. He isn't afraid of throwing himself right into the thick of things, nor is he afraid of new and dangerous situations of all kinds. When it comes to lessons and missions of importance, Honeyflower will often be the first to volunteer and his boundless enthusiasm and bravery will be a solid foundation that will support his clanmates. Unfortunately, he needs a dash of realism added to his daily life. He is reckless beyond reason and will need to be reigned in often to keep from meeting an untimely end. || Family: Blueclaw(father)- A short-furred mackerel grey tabby with some white on his neck. Has dull hazel eyes. Redstorm(mother)- orange short-furred mackerel tabby and hazel eyes,carries dilute Rosefoot(brother)- red mackerel tabby tom with a small patch of white on his throat and hazel eyes. Morningpelt(sister)- dilute blue torbie with dull hazel eyes. His parents did not have kits out of love for each other, more because they both wanted kits and thought them having kits together was an easy solution with little hatred involved, as they were both friends consenting to the idea. They were both fairly laid-back as parents, but were there when their kits needed them most.
Currently, Honeyflower is 3 years/36 moons old.

**I wouldn't mind him maaaybe being considered for a leadership opportunity at any point in the future, but of course this is not a mandate.

***Would anyone like to play his siblings and/or parents? I have a bit of personality for each of them, and they're all alive and in the same clan. If not, I'll eventually make them myself, perhaps.

'EEEY Hamilton



That would be nice
Edit- Honeyflower makes a nice foil to Briarstar, methinks.

Ooh ye :> Also hoW CUTE I need to have a few kits around to interact w/ him because cUTENESS plus it gives me drawing ideas omg. Feel free to hop in whenever! I'll add you shortly! ))

When you're in severe pain and struggling at 11:00 pm to draw your OCs :^) }}
Have some Briarstar lmao }}

((Oops I totally have to add a Hamilton quote as well. Also that drawing looks amazing!)
((Maybe as the lack of prey and things keep worsening a group of cats close to Starclan (leaders, med cat/med cat apprentices) would be sent to the Crystal to ask Starclan and be given the prophecy there? Just an idea. Also, not sure if you'd be interested in taking Badgerpaw on the journey to find a new home, but if you were, it could possibly happen right before/after he becomes a warrior, as I'd imagine the disaster that splits the clans apart would be more than enough to keep him from swimming around the lake. Then again, it's going to take a while for him to become a warrior if he keeps sneaking off and causing trouble in the clan like this, haha.))

Badgerpaw's whiskers twitched in amusement as he watched Pebbleskip's retreating form. Though his fur still stood on end from a mix of embarrassment and indignation, the warrior's carefree and nonthreatening attitude prevented him from being confrontational about it. Actually, he was glad they'd parted on good terms, which was a bit unusual for him. Maybe it was outweighed by pride; after all, he'd just had his first encounter with a Sunclan warrior all on his own.

Speaking of, he wondered what the other two apprentices he'd been with were doing. Had they already returned to camp without him, or were they looking for him now? A guilty glace up at the sky made him focus on hunting. If he was going to spend so long out in the woods, he may as well catch something on his way back to camp like he was supposed to.

A few minutes later he'd managed to catch a decent-sized squirrel, but despite being almost halfway back to camp hadn't caught so much as a whiff of prey aside from that. Maybe he was distracted, or just wasn't in the right spot after all. Either way, his earlier pride was tempered by disappointment that he could not catch enough to make up for lost time. Internally he berated his own mouse-brained idea. Well, there was nothing for it now but to get back to camp and hope no one had taken too much of an interest in his disappearance. Picking up his catch in his jaws, he continued padding back towards camp.

When there's three feet of snow and its still snowing and you're kinda dead inside :^) }}

Sure, I'll have to look over your forms and see if everything fits but I don't see why not Though just letting you know ahead of time if you decide to go for Moonclan's medicine cat, we have plans for them to be killed off fairly soon. If you choose life you're best off going with Sunclan, I think the position is still open. Deputy is open for both clans. }}

Sure thang~}}

Okay and I'll post my two sun clan cats tomorrow if that's alright with you.)
