It was quite a hot, dry day, as most days seemed to be lately, and Brightsun decided that it was the perfect day to visit Snakerocks. Figuring that if he hung out here for until sunhigh, he could find some adders, look at them, and maybe even catch a few, and then head back to camp, hunting along the way.
So there the striped cat sat, on a small rock, watching the area very closely. As if it were magic, the snake wiggled its way onto the dirt, gliding across the surface like a stream of water. Brightsun's eyes gleamed, and he grinned.
"RAWR!" he screeched, jumping down from the rock,attempting to land on the skinny reptile, ignoring the fact that it was quite dangerous.
The adder hissed, sped up and slithered between a crack in the rocks.
Brightsun narrowed his eyes playfully and imitated the snake, hissing and wiggling back to his makeshift lookout tower.
He stood, rigid and alert. A few minutes later, another adder darted out, and Brightsun pounced, his claws unsheathed. He landed a pawstep in front of the snake, which opened its mouth in a threat. The tom countered with a real, serious hiss and a swipe to the neck; the reptile wilted to the ground. He carried it to the base of the small rock and covered it in dirt. He leaped onto the rock, and watched his surroundings with a smile.

ooc: Not trying to revive a dead thread so I hope you don't mind me joining in?
Ic: A thick gray cat wandered throughout the forest.Every once in a while she would pause and sniff a plant or too but rarely picked any thing. Everythings so dry . . . I hope there'll be enough herbs for leaf bare this year. she thought with worry. It had not rained for quite awhile and most plants were arid and too shriveled up too use. She approached snakerocks hoping to find some fresh chevril.
Suddenly she spotted brightsun with an adder only a tail length away. She was about to call to him warning about the snake. But then she relised he was hunting it and . . . Making an impersation she assumed. Whatever nonsense he was doing needed to stop so she meowed to him You might get want to stop that. If one of them bites you there's nothing I can do. Theresn no cure for snake bites.

ooc: why, i don't mind at all. :3
The warrior's ears flicked to the sound of another cat's voice. He recognized it as Wolfsong, his clan's medicine cat. He took heed of her warning and grabbed his catch quickly, and then proceeded to leap off the rock, away from the abundance of snakes. He smiled at the storm-colored cat and mewed in greeting.
"Thankssss Wolfsong! I wasn't sure if their bites were treatable," he meowed and then added, "Adders are interesting, I've learned. They don't like to live in clans, like us or birds! They don't have any legs, either. They move like fish, except on land."
The tom laughed and trotted around Wolfsong, his tail swing side to side, in an attempt to snake-ify it. He stopped, suddenly, and gave the medicine cat a curious look.
"Are you looking for something, Wolfsssong? Would youlike help?" he asked.

You are quite the character brightsun . Wolfsong chuckled And yes I was looking for herbs. Cheril specifcly. Have you seen any? It has wide leaves and little white flowers. The gray she-cat desperately hoped to find some, her supplies were low enough as is and the drought was depleting all the remaining plants.

The warrior tom smiled, delighted. He looked at Wolfsong, deep in thought, trying to remember if he had seen anything that resembled her description.
"Mmm, yes! I don't really remember where, though, Wolfsong," he smiled apologetically, "but I'll look around right now!"
He hopped away and looked around, bemused. He leaped on the rock, careful not to upset any snakes, and shifted his gaze on the cracks.
"White flowers, white flowers," the tom murmured, searching. Brightsun slide off his spot and tiptoed across the dry ground along the edges of the small rock. His ears perked excitedly.
"Oo! Wolfsong, is that it in there?" he used his tail to point to a small crease between two rocks about three tailengths in front of him. A slip of green was peeking out from in indent. He padded over to the crevice and gazed in. The plant was quite small, but it had white flowers!

Wolfsong was sniffing a large goldenrod plant. All it's leaves were too withered to salvage and she sighed. Then she heard brightsuns call and dashed over to him. The tom had spotted a small plant peeking out from it's shadey sancuary behind a rock. Oh wow thanks . . . she meowed excitedly then drifted off in the end. It was not chevril, only comfrey, she had plenty off that. But it was too dry to not be thankful of any herb.
No this is comfrey but thanks anyway. she mewed politely Chevril has bigger leaves and smells sweeter. Nonetheless she scooped up the herb. Im going to keep looking. she said. Wolfsong was begginig to worry, With all the plants drying up I will hardly have any for leaf bare and there will be no food for prey. she fretted We will be sick and starving! but the she-cat kept her mouth shut. If she spread rumors about this cats would only panic and it would do her no good. Maybe I'll have a word with flightstar. The firghtened cat lepton searching for herbs praying that she would find enough to keepher clan alivein the coming months.

{{I hope it's okay if I join in?}}
Since Mixfur had already been on a number of patrols and hunted a bit, she thought she would take a quick walk around the territory by herself. She hadn't planned on coming to snakerocks, considering it was full of poisonous adders, but she heard voices coming from that direction and she intended to check it out.
Her tensed shoulders relaxed when she saw the two other cats. "Hello Wolfsong, Brightsun."She greeted each with a nod. She had thought it was RiverClan cats, but all was good. "What brings you two out to snakerocks?" She asked, a small smile on her lips.

{ ;D }
The deputy thought for a moment, trying to remember if she had seen any chervil on her walk.
"I hate to disappoint you, Wolfsong, but I haven't seen any." Mixfur felt bad seeing her Clan-mate in distress.
"Though, I'm sure Flightstar wouldn't mind if you went to see if RiverClan had some they could give you."

ooc: ;D
"Mixfur! Hello!" Brightsun meowed, loudly and joyfully, "I was looking at these wonderful nolegged snakes and then Wolfsong came along and I told her that I'd help her look for herbs!"
The warrior tom nodded as affirmation to himself. He wiggled his way towards the ThunderClan deputy; his tan face brightened at her idea.
"Ooo what an idea, Mixfur. With this dry weather, I'm sure RiverClan will undersssstand!" He exclaimed, a grin gracing his maw.
