Rookstar's ceremonies were late. Again. Was that really surprising, though? He was always late. In fact, perhaps it was time that IvyClan simply shifted the time in which they expected such things to occur. That thought mulled over inside the tom's head as he scrabbled onto the ledge from where he held clan meetings.
"Gather around everyone!" Rookstar called out, completely forgetting to use the traditional words to gather his clan together. "I need to name some warriors!" His unconventional call at least seemed to catch the interest of his clan mates, even if some did look confused as they gathered under the ledge. Rookstar could see his brother, Raccoonmask, looking up at him with an expression that practically screamed 'what are you doing, you utter mousebrain?'. In return, he shot back a look of 'I'm the leader so I do what I want', before turning his attention back to the clan.
"Hello. So, we have three apprentices becoming warriors today. Martenpaw, I have decided that you will be Martentooth. Branchpaw, you shall be Branchpatch. Finally, Flamepaw. From this day, you shall be known as Flamesight." As he spoke, he met the eyes of each apprentice-turned-warrior, giving them a proud look. "I trust that you will all and serve defend your clan well, and that I StarClan will smile favourably on the three of you."
He was proud of all of IvyClan's warriors - even the ones that were not typically 'great'. Everybody in the clan had something to offer, no matter who they were. That was why they didn't need any outsiders (along with other reasons, such as questions of loyalty and the possibility of having too many mouths to feed).
"And now for a more important subject," he then continued to say. "Creeksong has vanished, and thus it seems that we need a new deputy. IvyClan seems to have a history of this kind of thing, though, and so I had an idea last night. You see, if all our deputies keep going missing, then why do we only have one at once? Why not have multiple? That way, when one leaves, there are backups in place already." It was a genius idea if you asked him. Rookstar had no idea why nobody had ever thought of it before, but he was pretty sure that it would catch on.
"Firechaser, you will be my first deputy!" Rookstar proclaimed. "Alongside you, Dustytuft and Heronflight will serve. I am aware that Heronflight recently had kits, but having the other deputies working by her side will allow her time to see to both her children and the clan."
The young leader nodded, certain of his decision. And then another genius idea passed through his mind. "Oh! And Foxfall! He is my brother and I trust him, so he can also be the deputy." And another thought. "And Mudjaw! Owlstar would approve of Mudjaw being appointed too, I think."
And then he was done. "That is all," Rookstar said. "Please go back to whatever you were previously doing."
