Something to talk about(Lion)

[Lionhearted]

Thrushleap nodded. That sounded logical. It wasn't what he had exactly planned in mind, he realized, with a stab of brief annoyance, but he was willing to learn from Fangstar, and the tactics he used. "Good plan," he agreed. "I'll see to it. You are going to lead the first patrol, I presume?"

[Sand]

"Yes, I think that would be the best. You'll lead the second patrol," Fangstar meowed the tip of his tail twitching slightly as he thought over some things. "You will be in charge of deciding who goes into battle," he meowed glancing at his deputy. "Hopefully there want be in battles anytimes soon but if there is to be any battles we had best be prepared. I want mentors to be doing more battle training with their apprentices," he meowed flicking his ears back and forth. "We should have groups of cats do battle training. Cats who aren't in the groups who are practicing their battle skills will be in charge of hunting for the clan. I want different cats in the group who are training to fight each day I want you to be in charge of that," he meowed. "Also I think it would be best if we learned how to fight blind in case we have to end up fighting at night. I don't want to be stumbling around in the dark if we do end up having to fight in the middle of the night," he meowed. "I want you to talk to Moonblaze and Lostwing about giving some pointers on the best way to fight if you can't see," he meowed.

[Lionhearted]

"I admire your strategies," Thrushleap said sincerely, dipping his head, "but what about the deaf cats? Do they count as elders?

"Also, I think we could pair warriors up- that way, no one is left alone. They don't always need to stick to each other, but they'll have each other's backs in battle. I think that blind cats should be paired with a cat who could see, and other disabled cats, if they can't fight, will be shepherded to the elders' den and protected.

"I'll see to the rest," Thrushleap meowed, and bowed once more. "We'll make sure we win."

ooc: Uhh is Fangstar gonna announce this new training strategy at the next ceremony? I'm planning to make a thread with Thrushleap, saying that there must be more patrols. 

Also, who plays Lostwing?

[Sand]

"No, and I don't know if we even have deaf cats in Whisperclan I know we have blind cats and mute cats. It wouldn't be fair to give blind cats and mute cats a chance to be a warrior but not to do the same for deaf cats," Fangstar meowed flicking his ears back and forth. "Its hard talking about battle tactics I never spoke over battle tactics with Wolfshadow but that may due be due to the fact that he hated me though he was still loyal to me," he meowed.

"Yes, pairing up warriors would be great too. From now on if an apprentice must leave camp I want to warriors to go with that apprentice. I don't want any apprentices to go out on their own until we know what we are up against. I know that will mean mentors won't be able to do any solo training but I still think it would be better to train in groups in case something happens," he meowed. He doubted his clan would be to happy about the change that was about to happen but he knew that if they were caught on prepared and a clan mate died because they weren't prepared that he would blame himself.

"Since the training of apprentices is important queens and warriors who are injured at the moment should be in charge of taking care of stuff around the camp. Of course if someone gets in trouble for whatever reason they will also be in charge of taking care of stuff around the camp. I doubt the clan will be to happy about our schedule and if they cause to many problems about it they will be put on apprentice duties," he meowed. "I will announce the partner idea and the learning of new battle skills in a clan meeting," he meowed to his deputy.

ooc: Yes, I'll make a thread for it. makememapie plays Lostwing.

[Lionhearted]

Nodding, Thrushleap bit his lip. "Yes, I believe that now is not the time for punishments, if, sadly, it happens. I'll tell everyone they're required to be a credit to the Clan. Apprentices should train everyday, and I think we can start to be more organized.

"Apprentices should be rotating now- some do the chores, while others train and hunt and patrol. Some of the older warriors should guard the medicine den.

"As for deaf cats, we should come up with tail signals or ear flicks to communicate. They have never learned to speak because they never heard language in the first place, but we should devise some kind of silent system that enables them to be part of the Clan."

"I'll start to see to more training sessions, and start to pair warriors up. A less skillful warrior to a senior, so they can learn off each other.

"Sounds good," he said in enthusiasm.

[Sand]

"yes, I agree about making the apprentices rotate. Falconpaw shouldn't be doing a lot because of her poor health and she'll try and tell you she is fine when she really isn't so keep an eye on everyone to make sure they aren't over working themselves," Fangstar meowed flicking his ears back and forth. "Yes, we'll come up with some tail signals to be able to communicate with death cats," he meowed to hid deputy. "Yes, that sounds good. Mentors will automatically be pared up with their apprentices in case they have two. In a battle if a cat has more than one apprentice pair the mentor up with one of their apprentices and pair the other apprentice up with another warrior," he meowed.

(Idea Moonblaze and Lakepounce get paired together. Also we should try and do another thread with them I just don't know what to name threads anymore. I use to name threads after song titles.)

[Lionhearted]

"Okay. Well, we'll give them a partner- mates with mates- but if they happen to lose their buddy, then they will join another group immediately.

"Injured or severely disabled warriors can help guard the nursery or medicine den, or shepherd the wounded back and forth. If necessary, they can always help out with basic healing, too."

ooc: Sounds good! We can always just name it "thread" xD

Yeah, I think they should bond in the thread, become good friends (or mates, if you wanna take it that far), and Thrushleap'll pair 'em up.

Also, for the actual pairing thing, how do you want to do it? Should I post it on the plot station and have people PM each other about pairs, or Fangstar announces it at the meeting, or both?

[Sand]

(Good friends at first and maybe become mates in another thread. And both about the pairs and announcements being announced in a meeting and pm)

"yeah that sounds good to me," Fangstar meowed flicking his ears back and forth as he spoke. "I want every cat to at least have something to do except for the kits and elders. The medicine cat should restock on herbs in case is come to any battles," he meowed. "Also if any cats intrude onto our territory we should ask them why they are on our territory before chasing them off. Of course I want change my mind about not accepting rogues, loners, kittypets, and other clan cats to join our clan but no intruders should be chased off without use first knowing why they were trespassing onto our territory," he meowed.

[Lionhearted]

"WhisperClan could use all the warriors," Thrushleap agreed in enthusiasm. "Even if others happen to join, they should train as apprentices and when they earn their loyalty, they'll earn their name.

"We'll be ready," the deputy continued, "and even if the enemy is much more dangerous than we'd expected, we'll be strong and hold them off. I should talk to the other deputies at the next Gathering. Are you thinking about forming alliances?" he asked carefully. "Although we can't exactly trust the other Clans, as they very well may BE the enemy, I think it's still a good idea to consider asking for backup, just in case."

[Sand]

(he said he won't accept any outsiders I accidentally said want instead of won't though)

"Wolfpaw was the last outsider I was planning on letting into the clan to join. Since Thunderfang was killed by those rogues I've been having a hard time even trusting cats who aren't in are clan. I'm not the best cat to realize when someone isn't loyal. Lionice fooled me into thinking she was loyal for so long and than a cat who was a former Leafclan cat disappears, and he was my deputy," he meowed his icy-blue eyes thoughtful. "Yes, I think seeing about having an alliance with another clan would be helpful," he meowed nodding.

[Lionhearted]

"I'm not the best when it comes to seeing who's loyal and who's not," said Fangstar.

"It's okay," Thrushleap said quickly, "but we can't force loyalty upon them. If they go, they'll go, but like you said, they can't come back."

"Yes, and I've been thinking about alliances."

"I don't want LeafClan," Thrushleap said immediately, then stopped abruptly, thinking that it was rude. Whoops. "Sorry. but I think Sunstar's still too new. What about StormClan? They are thinking, possibly, along the same lines as us- both of the Clans are not accepting outsiders, and cats in forbidden relationships are getting kicked out. Plus, they're neighbours."

ooc: Nothing against LeafClan- this is Thrushleap's thoughts.
