 Spottedfur : hunting patrol with Bubblingstar & Pondpaw
Leafbare meant snow and heavy snow meant trouble when it came to hunting. Spottedfur led Bubblingstar and Pondpaw out of YewClan's camp, in hopes that the patrol would find some prey. The amount of snow that left the forest covered in a thick, white blanket was frustrating enough.
As the speckled tom padded along, he began sniffing the air for prey. All he could smell was a major blast of snow– a blizzard, to be specific. His silver eyes widened in surprise. This was no ordinary blizzard for YewClan– it was going to be a bad one, a blizzard that could keep them stuck in camp for a few days. "Bubblingstar, Pondpaw. Do you smell that?" he asked, glancing at his clanmates worriedly. "It smells like snow and a lot of it. A blizzard's coming and I don't think we should hunt right now."
Spottedfur turned towards Bubblingstar and Pondpaw, hoping that the two would agree with him. There was no use in risking their lives for a little bit of prey when a blizzard was coming. YewClan would have to wait to send out another hunting patrol because this one certainly wasn't going to hunt today.

 Stormmask : herb gathering, wondering about Shadepaw & recovering from grief
Stormmask knew it had been moons since Stemriver's death, but finally the world was feeling less dull. She had since regained the energy that had kept her curled up in her nest for so long. The dark grey tabby padded through the heavy snow, her eyes narrowed at white flakes that flew in front of her. She wondered if Shadepaw hadn't got yellowcough, would they have begun to learn about each other? Stormmask had plenty of questions for her new apprentice, but they would have to wait as dandelions awaited her.
Dandelion, in all honesty, was no fun to gather alone. Digging for it in leafbare was tedious and the cold was brutal on one's paws. She hurried her way through the forest, trying to ignore the heavy snow as it blanketed the ground. The medicine cat's copper gaze fixated on a small clearing where she usually found dandelions. She padded over and began moving snow aside carefully. Immediately, she began digging as far as she could until she spotted a small patch of dandelions popping out of the snow. Their wilted yellow leaves were still intact which the dark grey tabby would need and even the roots were in good shape! She began gathering the herb, letting out a sigh of relief despite her paws being frigid. Once Stormmask had gathered dandelion, she carried it back to camp in her jaws. At last, she felt a bit less numb on the inside just like she had at the start of her patrol.

|| Thrushfleck - Blames Stormmask for Shadepaw's Yellowcough - /w: N/A [ Free to join, though mentions Stormmask, Shadepaw, and Scarletdrift ] ||
Thrushfleck was filled with concern as cats around him seemed to be falling ill one by one. Cats were coughing, his former mentor for one was noticed rather quickly and moved to the medicine cat's den. The sound of the coughing still faintly ringing in his ears from the first night the illness presented.
Tilting his head, he glanced towards the medicine den, his heart heavy for the sick apprentice within. Whitecough was one thing, while it had to be managed and caught early, it was being maintained. Yet.. he had caught wind of the word Yellowcough being used in hushed whispers for Shadepaw's condition. Yellowcough.. something so rare he had barely heard a meow of it in his shorter lifetime and yet...
His claws unsheathed as they slid into the dirt in frustration. What was Stormmask doing, that got someone so young and vulnerable sick to such a disease? He never heard of it being caused by whitecough, but what other explanation was there? Why was stormmask not helping Shadepaw take the proper precautions to not get her sick? It was.. cruel and unfair for life to be this way. So soon after.. everything.. would they lose her too?

Scarletdrift - Helps Dappleswipe organize patrols (+)
Scarletdrift had recently been told that he had whitecough. He was tired of getting sick, and he didn't know why! Spottedfur was older than he was, and he didn't seem to be getting sick as much as he did. It all seemed so unfair! Was Starclan punishing him for rejecting Spottedfur? Asking Heavy to early? Being kind of a jerk the last few moons? First it was rejecting a cat, next it was breaking the warrior code, and after that getting rejected. He wanted to redeem himself, but he couldn't when he was here! Not now, now that he was sick. But he didn't feel so sick. Just a cough here and there, but he guessed Stormmask didn't want to risk his life, or any other cats.
Scarletdrift looked around camp, everycat seemed to be milling around, or out on patrol. Really anywhere, doing anything. He knew that Shadepaw was also sick, but at least she could still learn. She was a medicine cat, Shadepaw could still learn about herbs while she was sick. But him, he could just chill around camp, eating the prey that his clanmates brought him. "Scarletdrift, would you come over here please?" Dappleswipe called to him, and Scarletdrift turned his head. Dappleswipe was waiting for him near the side of camp, gazing at him intently. He turned his paws to pad up to her, but kept his distance. He didn't want to get her sick, after all. "Yes Dappleswipe?" He said, trying to sit up and make himself look presentable, it was an honor to have been called by the deputy.
"I'm having some trouble organizing patrols for tomorrow, would you help me?" She asked, and Scarletdrift obliged. They spent the next hour planning out patrols for the next day, making sure everycat had somewhere to go, someplace to go. Finally they were done. It brought some light to what Dappleswipe had to do everyday, and the stress she had to overcome everyday. "Thank you" Dappleswipe called, and Scarletdrift nodded. "No problem" He said, before he turned and padded back to the medicine den.

Haypaw
 is sparring with dappleswipe//
Haypaw reared onto her hindlegs, batting out sheathed paws at her opponent. Just as Dappleswipe lunged at her exposed belly, the gray she-cat dodged. She kicked off into the air, twisting around, and landed squarely on the older cat's back. Her hindlegs kicked out as if scoring her claws down her haunches before she fell away from her mentor. She fell neatly back onto the ground, her chest heaving as she caught her breath. Haypaw's green eyes glittered with triumph. "How was that?" She puffed, anticipating any criticism the tortoiseshell deputy might have had.
"Brilliant." Her mentor nodded, rising to her paws and shaking snow out of her dark fur. "Keep it up, and you'll be a warrior in no time."
"Really!" The apprentice squealed, giving an excited bounce. Haypaw's first moon as an apprentice, she'd been confined to the medicine den. Now, her scar was nothing but a memory and something she prided herself in very much. Pondpaw doesn't have any cool battle scars!
She caught up in her training exceptionally well. She was a fast learner and quickly mastered the techniques Dappleswipe would teach her, soaking up all of the deputy's knowledge.
"Now, let's do it one more time before we go back to camp." Dappleswipe mewed, regaining her position. Haypaw nodded vigorously before rearing up on her hindlegs. Just wait until I show Pondpaw these new moves! He won't know what hit him.

there are SO many cute interactions this moon <3 also Shadepaw adult sprite! She's at 43/52xp needed to graduate also 𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑢 Shadepaw went from Playful -> Lonesome this moon Drizzlekit and Cinderkit will be apprentices next moon, so last chance for you two to have cute kit replies! I love Hazelpelt and Frozenlaurel bonding time <3 tbh I'm sad Scarletdrift and Thrushfleck are fighting but I think the sick cat interactions are adorable. Grumpy Scarlet mad at the other two for ruining his old man sleep; Shadepaw getting a small crush on Thrush. ACH it's great. They should all be fine; next moon is newleaf and that usually fixes most illnesses. ]] |

Heavy »
running into a dog on border patrol with spottedfur - Sand
& mistleheart - Bittermoon
Leaf-bare had come and almost gone. The icy season was still upon them, and hard to ignore given the sick warriors who coughed throughout the night, but the snow had let up and the skies were once again clear. The first morning the sun had peeked out of the clouds had been the first morning Heavy had woken up and not felt like stones were tied to her paws. It had been the first morning since Stemriver’s death that waking up without him at her side hadn’t crushed her soul. His death stilled weighed heavily upon the calico’s body, but she realized now that her Clan needed her more than she needed to grieve. Stemriver would want her to get out there and continue her warrior duties. He’d want her to hunt and patrol alongside her Clanmates and rekindle the bonds she had with them, bonds she had ignored since her mate’s untimely death. For the first time in moons Heavy felt ready to get back out there and provide for YewClan.
On this particular crisp day she found herself alongside Spottedfur and Mistleheart. Heavy had been nervous at the start, afraid that she would have forgotten all of her warrior skills. She had fretted to herself that she’d do something stupid, something that a brand new apprentice would do. It had been moons since she had been on a patrol. She was rusty. She was out of shape. Laying about in camp, even in the middle of leaf-bare, made a cat squishier around the edges than was necessary. Surprisingly she was keeping up with her patrolmates quite well, and all the more surprising to her was that she knew exactly what to do. Perhaps patrolling was a skill a seasoned warrior couldn’t forget that easily.
The distant shrill of a dog’s barking caught Heavy by surprise. She paused in her steps, fur ruffling along her spine in unease. Blue eyes shifted from Mistleheart to Spottedfur. She was not the senior warrior on this patrol. She was not the one to call the shots.
The barking grew louder, and eventually, a small canine could be seen crashing through the winter-thin foliage. It was a blessing that the dog was not a large, slobbering beast, but rather a small nuisance if anything, but it had caught the sight of the patrol and was headed straight for them. Something needed to be done. Even a small dog could harm a cat if not careful.
Energy surging through her from moons of inactivity, Heavy took one more look between Spottedfur and then Mistleheart, eyes lingering on the young molly she had taken care of. ”I’ve got this under control, you can count on me.” Before either of her Clanmates could say anything the calico shot off, a blur in the scenery. How easy it was for Heavy to snap right back into her warrior duties, how easy it was for her naturally quick limbs to work and accelerate. How long ago had it been now when she worried she’d never run again? Too long to even count the moons, and by the stars she was thankful to be able to run again.
The molly darted forward, yowling to grab the dog’s attention. A quick look behind her confirmed the dog’s presence on her trail. Heavy darted this way and that, hoping the canine would soon falter, but the tiny brute’s pace was relentless, its stamina a shock to the calico. Typically she could have run for hours, but after moons of grief, she wasn’t quite as ready for a marathon just yet.
Just before she had to stop, Heavy came upon a large birch. With a hiss she flung herself at the tree, scrambling up the trunk as quickly as she could. As the dog approached the tree, barking and carrying on, Heavy snaked her way into the shelter of a high up branch. The calico glared downward at the yipping dog, noticing how reluctant it seemed to leave her.
Heavy huffed. She was stuck here until either the dog left, its twolegs came to retrieve it, or Spottedfur and Mistleheart managed to drive the dog off for good.
Heavy »
apologizes after bumping into cinderkit - leafpelt11
It felt good to be back on warrior duties. For too long she had allowed grief to hold her down, and now that she was back to work and spending time with Clanmates once more, Heavy had felt lighter. She would always miss Stemriver, would always feel as if something in her life was missing, but she was getting better. Just because Stemriver’s life had come to an end didn’t mean hers had to as well.
With no patrols to tend to at the moment, Heavy had decided to busy herself by checking on in Drizzlekit and Cinderkit. The two were getting bigger every day, and soon they’d be apprenticed. The calico wondered who Bubblingstar would assign them to, and she had to wonder just how proud Stemriver would be of the two. They weren’t his kits, but they were still his kin. The same went for Heavy herself - the two weren’t her kits, and while they weren’t her blood kin either, they were still a part of her family. She cared and cherished for them as if they had been her own, and in a way they were her own. As soon as Stemriver, her dear mate, had brought them into camp it had been a no brainer on who would raise the two. His kits with another molly or not, Heavy was determined to rear them as her own.
Caught up in her thoughts as she was the warrior didn’t even notice Cinderkit waiting there near the nursery’s entrance. It was her paw thudding against something furry that shocked the calico out of her own mind. Eyes widened with concern when she noticed what - who - she had run into.
”I’m sorry, Cinderkit! I didn’t see you there. Are you alright?” Heavy down to nuzzle the kit, checking for any bruising. She didn’t recall hitting the kit hard, but for as resilient as the youth was, they were still just as fragile.

Slatefoot »
hunting patrol with hazelpelt - jaybun!
After a moon of on and off snowfall, the sun peeking out from the hazy sky was a welcomed sight. Slatefoot had started to believe that the sun would never show itself ever again. When she noticed the watery rays of sunlight darting through the camp walls and into the warriors’ den this morning the young warrior had been beyond delighted. And she was all the more delighted to have been assigned a hunting patrol.
Eager to get out there and enjoy the sun, Slatefoot quickly rounded up Hazelpelt and away the two mollies went.
As per usual the hunting was poor at the start; all Slatefoot had come across was a duo of blue jays, far too high up in the trees to go after, though she’d be lying if she said she hadn’t been tempted to dart up the tree in an attempt to snag one of the racious fellows. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time the dark-furred molly had impulsively shot up a tree in an attempt to capture prey just out of reach. How many times had she done that under Bubblingstar’s watchful eye when she had been just an apprentice?
Discouraged by the lack of prey at the start but not deterred from the hunt, Slatefoot pressed onward alongside her companion. She was determined to bring at least one thing back - Thrushfleck was back in camp after being struck down by greencough. He needed prey more than ever, and not just prey that had been sitting on the pile since the day before, chilled by the wind, but fresh prey. He needed to eat something that still elicited warmth. If her brother were to get better, then he needed fresh prey.
As if StarClan had heard her silent worries, the breeze shifted, and with it came the scent of mouse. Fresh mouse. Close. Just to the left of both her and Hazelpelt.
Fur spiking with excitement, Slatefoot nudged the warrior walking alongside her. She gestured with her head toward a suspiciously large pile of leaves just barely covered with snow. ”I’ll leave and become a loner if there’s not any mice in there,” she mewed softly to Hazelpelt. Easing herself into a crouch she placed careful paws on the ground, inching closer and closer to the mound, quivering with anticipation, jaws watering with the promise of fresh mouse soon to come. |

Spottedfur : small dog patrol with Heavy & Mistleheart
With clear skies and little snow left, Spottedfur was feeling much more optimistic– it was peculiar what seasons could do to one's mood. Nonetheless, there was still work to do. He padded alongside Heavy and Mistleheart, keeping his silver gaze peeled and his eyes open for anything and anyone.
The sudden shrill howl of a dog caught the grey speckled tom's attention easily. He came to a halt next to Heavy, glancing at the calico and then at Mistleheart. If they were to take this dog on, the three would have to be prepared to fight it off. As much as Spottedfur disliked the interruption, he was the senior warrior on this patrol which meant he had to call the shots. His ears swiveled back and his gaze narrowed when a small dog crashed through the thin shrubs and was making its way towards the patrol. The canine didn't seem to be much of an issue surprisingly, though its size made it more of a pain in their side. It would be an easy fight, right?
When Heavy announced that she had the situation under control, Spottedfur gave a sharp nod. "We trust you, Heavy. Be careful, we don't know what the dog has in mind," he meowed, dipping his head in respect. It was time that the calico could lead or take over patrols without him butting in.
The speckled tabby tom watched Heavy closely as she yowled and darted off, doing her best to distract the canine. The stupid yet relentless canine was a bit smarter than Spottedfur had thought. It had chased Heavy towards a birch tree and he felt his heart lurch forward. "Heavy!" he howled, carefully padding ahead. By then, his patrolmate was in the tree's branches, glaring down at the small dog.
He didn't want to distract the dog just yet– he needed a plan first. But what could they do? The dog seemed awfully hesitant to leave Heavy alone as it yipped and yapped at her like the pest it was. "Mistleheart, we need to drive the dog away," he demanded, turning to the white and grey she-cat. "We don't have much time, so let's hurry."

Stormmask : herb gathering with Frozenlaurel & thinks that Shadepaw doesn't really fit in (-)
Stormmask felt a tad better this moon although her thoughts about Shadepaw were nagging her. She thought that her apprentice, despite the risk she took by joining YewClan, didn't fit in. Was it so cruel of her to think that? To believe her first apprentice did not belong among herself and her clanmates? It annoyed her, but there wasn't any more time to brood over it.
Frozenlaurel was Stormmask's warrior escort today, whom she hadn't spent much time with. They were, hopefully, going to gather daisy stems which the dark grey tabby had failed to do so far. If they were lucky, she and Frozenlaurel could have a decent patrol.
As the medicine cat padded along, her gaze lingered on the warrior. Since Frozenlaurel was a former outsider, like Heavy, did he have the same beliefs as the calico? She wasn't going to press him on talking about StarClan, but it did awaken some curiosities in her. "Don't you think it's nice that the skies are clear?" she meowed as she brought up the weather. Stormmask wasn't sure what to discuss, but she hoped that Frozenlaurel would want to chat either way.

|| Thrushfleck - Coughing keeping up Scarletdrift & soon to be scolds Scarletdrift - /w: Scarletdrift, Shadepaw [ Dew 𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑢 ] ||
Well, what is life but a self-fulfilling prophecy? A lesson that Thrushfleck learned the hard way, in his concern over the medicine cat apprentice. It started abruptly, the coughing beginning in the middle of the night as he was ushered into the medicine cat's den to treat it. As quickly as the whitecough started, so too did it progress into greencough. Thrushfleck was only minorly aware of the passing time, the moon and sun filtered through the den his only capability to tell the time in his semi-delirious state. Starclan, did it feel like he was coughing up his very lungs this night. The fever and aches keeping him from being able to sleep properly between wheezing breath. Though at least, his cough had yet to turn to a red shade. So surely, he would be fine and recover wouldn't he? He wheezed out a painful huff, as he curled himself tighter into a little ball. Sandwiched between his former mentor and the medicine cat apprentice that remained sick as well. He could only pray to the stars above that he wasn't making THEIR illness worse no matter how miserable he may be. || Thrushfleck - Wants to get to know Frozen better, happy to see pondpaw, and stammers over his words. - /w: Pondpaw & technically other sick cattos like Shadepaw for the pip [ stormshade1 Dew 𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑢 ] ||
Thrushfleck groaned dramatically as he made an attempt to sit up in his temporary nest. His joints and body all over felt cold and sore- sapping energy he took for granted when he felt better. Stifling a few sneezes, he cast his blurry gaze towards the entrance of the medicine cat's den. He thought he heard voices, and he was correct. It seemed he had visitors. Grinning from ear to ear, the young warrior purred at Pondpaw's approach. " Come to see us? Be careful, I might sneeze on you. " he teased, knowing full well he would do everything in his power to keep others from getting ill from him. Idly, the tom gestured for the apprentice to take a seat at the other end of the room. A safer distance away from the sick cats where they could still communicate. " How is- " he began to start, before his body was wracked by another a fit of coughs. Taking in a sharp breath, he shook his head after the few awkward moments of coughing. " S-sorry I- " he began, his smile appearing more and more weary. " I'm still not feeling the greatest scamp. Its.. its rough out here. " he huffed out before finally finishing his sentence. " Hows your father? Frozenlaurel? I just- I mean I haven't checked in on how he's settling you know. Has everything been okay? "

that's all ya need!~ If there's a cat open, you'll get a ping ]] Also this is really late (was too scared to ask it before) but I'm curious about who else is on the Waitlist just because I'm curious no one, you're top of the list! We recently had some new cats (Frozenlaurel + his two kits) which brought people into the game. It may be unlikely we'll get more soon? We don't have any current mates in the Clan and we aren't due an activity check for two weeks, so it'll have to be from a random event. ]] |

Pondpaw 
Patrolling with Bubblingstar
The mouse was close. Pondpaw could smell it. He waggled his haunches, creeping forwards slowly, and then he pounced, and bit the mouse on the neck. “Thanks!” he responded joyfully to Bubblingstar’s praise. Pondpaw was grateful that this patrol didn’t turn out like last moon. That patrol sucked. He was so cold afterwards.
Checking in on Thrushfleck
So many cats were sick. Shadepaw, Thrushfleck, Scarletdrift... Pondpaw just hoped the kits wouldn’t catch it... He wondered if he should have become a medicine cat. Then he could actually be helping these sick cats instead of simply checking up on them. But... no, he decided. After all, they already had two medicine cats, and that should be enough, right? (He also may or may not want to get a battle scar too, because Haypaw had been teasing him endlessly about it). He entered the medicine den, where Thrushfleck immediately greeted him. He sat where Thrushfleck had motioned for him to sit, grateful for the tom’s kindness. “He’s doing great.” Pondpaw responded to Thrushfleck’s question.

Scarletdrift - Is annoyed at Thrushfleck for ruining his rest (---)
You could say that today he was in a foul mood. You could say that he had been in a bad mood ever since he had been confined in camp because of whitecough. It was all true. He didn't want to sit here anymore, and the medicine den was getting a little too crowded for his liking. Thrushfleck had joined Shadepaw and himself, and all together he couldn't get any sleep. Can't I just move to the elder's den? No cat is there right now, and I might get better faster! He had been trying to sleep for ages, and finally, Scarletdrift managed to drift into a light sleep.
Scarletdrift woke with a start, and scowl crossing his face when he realized it was Thrushfleck's cough that woke him. It felt like he had just drifted into sleep when he was pulled out of it again. He let out another cough, then turned to see Thrushfleck, curled into a ball in between Shadepaw and him. Maybe if Thrushfleck was on the other side of the den it would be easier to sleep....
Scarletdrift couldn't help but scold himself. It wasn't like Thrushfleck could help it! He knew all too well, getting yellowcough, whitecough, and greencough a few times during his long life. But still, he had a right to be annoyed correct? He still wasn't getting any sleep, and as far as he could tell, it was because of Thrushfleck.

 Brightleaf - Recovers from grief & Hunting patrol with Dappleswipe and Haypaw
Brightleaf knew that she wasn't helping her clan by staying in camp and doing nothing but mourn her father. She knew that if he saw her now, he would be disappointed. What was she even doing? The last few moons had been a blur in her grief, but it seemed that as time passed, the pain seemed to lessen. Brightleaf knew that she would always miss Stemriver, but now she felt she could leave camp and talk to other cats without being sad that they weren't him. She was strong, and she wanted to make Stemriver proud of her.
It was a clear leaf-bare morning, with new-leaf right around the corner. Brightleaf was told that she was going to be on a patrol with Dappleswipe and Haypaw. Something about being with the deputy make her heart thump, and she couldn't help but smile. Catching prey was one of the most important things to do this moon as well, with three cats sick in the den, including her brother! Brightleaf badly wanted to catch him something, in hopes that he would eat it and feel better.
Brightleaf opened her jaw, eager to scent anything that she could catch. "Rat!" She whispered to the rest of the patrol, her eyes lighting up with excitement. She followed the scent trail a little ways away, and found it, nibbling on something. It was nice a plump too, this would surely be a great catch for this time in leaf-bare.
Brightleaf got down in her hunters' crouch, almost gliding over to the rat. Then, she pounced! and killed the rat with a swift bite to the neck. It fell limp in her jaws, and she carried it triumphantly back to the patrol. "I got it! And just look at it, it's sure to feed one of the sick cats!"
