    [center]- - - - -[fancypost=bgcolor=; border:0; width:450px; text-align:justify; font-size:10px; line-height:1.5]Tea had suggested this event at the medic meeting recently, and after Hope giving her the o-k, she was only happy to host it. She'd picked a clearing near the village to set it up. To her left was a basket filled with brightly-colored blindfolds, and to her right, a basket of various herbs. The aim of the exercise was to help her clanmates recognise the different kinds of herbs not just by sight, but by using their senses of smell and touch. It would help to distinguish each type of herb, especially in the case of ones that looked very similar. Or, in the unlikely situation that they ever needed to go herb hunting in the dark, it would make their job easier. Not all creatures had quality night vision. It would be a good experience for the medic team, too, and hopefully a lot of fun for everyone involved. "Riverclan! Gather for a blindfolded herb game!" was the announcement she'd give, and sat back on her haunches as she awaited the first arrivals.

    [center][fancypost=width: 450px; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify;][font='Georgia, serif']A blindfolded game? Oh gosh... The wolf was pretty good at picking out herbs and naming their uses, but blindfolded? Really Teagan? "I'll play your game." The minnow said as he approached the smaller mammal.

    The hybrid leopard cub didn't need a blindfold, but she would still participate. It would be good practice. "I wouldn't mind joining. Its a great idea," the blind nurse would say, smiling towards teagan.

    But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured

    The brown wolf padded up and smiled slightly, this would be fun, and maybe he could impress a few by his knowledge of herbs and what they smelled like, before he had left, he had hoped to become a nurse, now he had a chance again. "sure, I'll join in."

    [center][fancypost=bgcolor=; border:0; width:450px; text-align:justify; font-family:constantia; font-size:8px; line-height:1.5;]Oh, that sounded fun! And like a good idea. The petite marten smiled shyly as she slowly approached, rounded ears perked. Chocolate hues gleamed brightly as her thoughts wandered towards the Knights; she wondered if Pixel might find a blindfolded game about herbs fun.. Or any game about herbs fun. It made for good trivia. Besides... Lessa herself was already blind in one eye; this wouldn't be too hard...


    Time to test herself.

    [center]- - - - -[fancypost=bgcolor=; border:0; width:450px; text-align:justify; font-size:10px; line-height:1.5]Tea nodded, pleased with the show-up already. It wouldn't take much explaining for any late-comers, and she didn't want to keep everyone already present waiting, so she dediced to get right in to it. "Great! Alright, everyone take a blindfold," she would instruct, tail bobbing happily. The rabbit used her telekinesis to give out the colourful patches to each person - excluding Glitch, for obvious reasons - depending on head sizes. She sat back with a grin for a moment, allowing time for them to adjust their blindfolds. Then, with her own eyes closed, she levitated a bunch of herbs from the second basket, distributing one kind to each person, before opening her eyes - comfrey to Wildhunt, borage to Glitch, yarrow to Mark and catmint to Lessa. Their knowledge in herbs at the moment was irrelevant - this exercise acted as both a test and learning oppotunity. "Now, spend time sniffing at n' poking your herb. I've given you one each. If you can, try ta guess what it is - but if not, that's okay too! If that's the case, examine it even more before taking off the blindfold - n' if you still dunno, I'll teach you a bit about it." The rabbit nodded, satisfied with those orders, and kept an eye out for anyone else who seemed interested.

    When Teagan said to start, she leaned down, instantly smelling the herb. An almost sour smell hit her nose, unusual due to the always-sweetness smell of Hope and Rose and the medicine den. She had a few selections in her mind of what she knew. She needed to cut it down to one, though. Feeling it in between her paws, it felt slightly furry, and she knew. "Borage." she replied confidently. "I... I think, it helps with coughing." She replied, less confident. Then a realization struck her. "Wait wait wait. I mean fevers. It brings down fevers."

    But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured

    Mark took the light blue colored blindfold and put it on, taking a moment to adjust the knot, and then he started to smell the scents of all these herbs, he attempted to focus on his, getting closer after a moment, he smelled a spicy scent, not unlike that of rosemary, and he stopped for a moment, the wheels turning in his head, "Yarrow? Or maybe rosemary?" It didn't smell quite like rosemary, but he might as well put in two suggestions, "it can help with wounds I believe, mostly when they're chewed up and applied." Though sometimes the one hurt would just eat the plant, should he mention that? No might as well not sound as nervous as Glitch.

    It was nice to see Teagan actually going on her word. Hope smiled as she trotted up and took a seat. In a bright blue flash she conjured up some bayberry, with its large oval leaves, and floated it over to Teagan, setting it in front of the rabbit. Have them smell this herb and feel it. This is bayberry. It's supposed to help with wounds, SHE sent telepathically to her apprentice, winking at her.

    [center][fancypost=width: 410px; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify;][font='Georgia, serif']The wolf quickly put his blindfold on after Teagan passed them out and sat back, his tail wagging slowly behind him. It had been awhile since he had done anything been related so he was kind of excited. He wasn't at the point of missing being a medic, but he missed being around something familiar. See, his mother, minnowscales had been a medic long before he or Hope were around. Because of her, the minnow practically grew up with the herbs.


    After the nurse set a plant in front of him and gave the okay to examine it, Wild bent down and took a whiff of what was there. He couldn't quite pinpoint what exact herb it was just from the scent, but it was a familiar and tangy smell. The wolf softly touched the plant with his paw, careful not to crush what was there. He could feel large leaves, root, maybe one or two small flowers. "This is comfrey." Wild smiled before he took off his blindfold. Once he was able to see again, he was assured that it was in deed what he thought. "The root can be chewed into a poultice and it has many uses."

    "eep. i'm not good with blindfolds. they make me panic sometimes." he stated, his floppy ears flattening against his skull.


    nevertheless he put his blindfold on by himself, and waited for the next herb to come around, as he didn't quite catch the first one.

    [center]- - - - -[fancypost=bgcolor=; border:0; width:450px; text-align:justify; font-size:10px; line-height:1.5]The bunny was surprised by how well her clanmates knew their herbs - even without their vision. That was reassuring, in a way; if someone were to get injured and there were no medics around, there were plenty of others who would be capable of treating them until the medics arrived. She was certainly glad that Glitch knew her herb almost immediately, and nodded at her guesses. "That's borage, yes. You're right about bringing down fevers, but it's also handy for nursing mothers by increasing their supply of milk." Tea would turn to Mark next, whiskers twitching in approval. "You were right the firs' time, it's yarrow. A yarrow poultice is especially helpful for poisoned wounds." She would have added that if eaten, it would cause one to expel their stomach contents - which was handy if they had inhaled something poisonous - but wasn't as certain about that fact. Given a moment's hesitation, she heard her mentor's voice in her head and noticed another herb at her paws. She had never worked with bayberry before - not that she recalled - but it was vaguely familiar to see. She nodded gratefully to Hope, and took away Glitch and Mark's herbs, replacing them with the new species. "Glitch! Mark! Try these now." Tea faced Wildhunt next, who had remarkably also gotten his correct. Pleased, she responded, "Correct, Wild - a comfrey poultice is best known for mending broken bones n' wounds, though it has various uses." The rabbit greeted Arcanepaw with a wave, and once he had his blindfold on, brought over some marigold to he and Wild. "Wild, Arcane, you try these."

    I WANT TO BE YOUR BIT OF LIGHT — lessa ren solo

    [fancypost=border-width:0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 125%][font='constantia']Okay. Lessa adjusted the blindfold carefully over her eyes, focusing mostly on her right eye which could still see. It was a good size though and she didn't have too much difficulty. Brightly, she shuffled her paws, determination coursing through her veins. When Teagan passed her the herb, she took it slow, nose sniffing softly as her brow gently furrowing in thought.


    Very familiar smell. "Catmint." She does not touch it with her metal paws, worried she might accidentally crush it. Even though she was a doctor amongst the Knights of Eden, she liked to handle her herbs with telepathy when she could. Just in case. "I-it's good for... Colds and c-can b-bring down fevers... As well. Y-you can... Also use it... To help w-with restlessness... And nerves." Lessa was glad she remembered that one, considering it would probably help herself but she had never been able to bring herself to stop her anxious and restless nature with medicine. It was just a part of who she was. It would probably help those days when it gets to be too much though.

    But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured

    Mark took the herb into his paws, instantly feeling a sort of smooth and round plant, "it's a berry." He said bluntly, he didn't scent much, so he poked a little hole in it with a claw and scented it, it was the normal aroma of a berry, well, f#ck, he could identify it, "I'm not familiar with this berry, and I'm not sure what it's used for."
