Flip the coin. I think she's avoiding the website so she doesn't have to witness the death of Whitefoot.

Sorry I haven't been on, I had a big exam today and I needed to study, so I am flipping a coin and I found a website to randomly choose from a list so I can do this in the future if I need to.
It's a 1, so let's get to this.
You nod and run ahead back to camp. As you draw near, you hear Mistyflower's screeches of pain and flinch. You wish you could help her. You run into camp and are beginning to head to the medicine cat's den to see if you can do anything when Thorntail steps in your path.
"So, you're FINALLY done." he growls. "Did you find what you needed?" You nod.
"We found a store of exactly what Mistyflower needs and Ripplepaw is carrying it back right now, I was just about to tell Leaffeather it was on its way." you meow, slightly over excitedly. He frowns.
"Maybe you should stick to warrior duties. We have a little time before the sun goes down, and since Leopardpaw and Tigerpaw are done training..." he paused, glaring and smiling at you.
"You can fight ME." You gulp, but you know you can't get away from this duty twice in one day, so you nod and follow him to the training hollow. As you enter, Thorntail jumps at you, and you close your eyes as he swipes a paw at your eye. You dodge backwards as he slashes at you again. Suddenly, he stops.
"Alright then, what did you learn?" You think for a minute, trying to grab an answer from somewhere.
"Uhh...How to dodge?" He growls.
"No! You were supposed to learn to always be on guard! There is always someone who wants to stop you, and you need to be ready to fight at any time!" He leaped again, and you dodge again.
"Why can't you just slash at me when I leap at you? It would give you the advantage when you had none. Try that." He leaps again, but this time you put up one paw flat and turn your head away. You lightly tap him as he reaches you. He growls once more.
"What good will that do against a real enemy?!" he screeches. "You need to learn to fight. You are a warrior, not a medicine cat, an elder, or a queen. You can't do this in a battle!" Suddenly, you hear a screech, louder than all the previous ones, coming from camp. It's Mistyflower. You know you haven't come even close to finishing this lesson, but you can't bear to hurt anyone and you want to get back to camp.
What do you do?
1.) Fight Thorntail with all your might and hope he will then end the lesson 2.) Refuse to fight him and hope he will give up and let you go home 3.) Run away towards camp with no warning and get home to help Mistyflower

Ok...you obviously have different views on this one. Usually when the vote is torn it is between things close to each other, like 1 and 2 or 2 and 3. Interesting. Anyway, 2 more for 1 or 3 or 3 more for 2.

Ice in your last post you said "1 more for 1" when no one said 1 twice (Piplup said 1 after you posted so keep that in mind)

Oh sorry, I counted Rainfeather as a 1 because I got mixed up with all the numbers in the post. Also, piplup voted 2, trouble voted 1. Anyway, heads for 1, tails for 3...tails
You think for a second, then make a decision, turning and pelting off toward camp. As you run, you hear Thorntail's growl behind you.
"Get back here!" but you keep running, and finally reach camp, running strait into the medicine cat den without another thought.
"What's wrong?" you meow urgently, seeing both Leaffeather and Ripplepaw's troubled faces.
"The first kit is stuck. I've tried to help her but I've never seen a kit get stuck before. I'm not sure what to. Usually massaging the area helps but it hasn't done anything." Leaffeather meowed quietly. You're eyes widen. You have never seen anything like this either, and you didn't even know it could happen. but, a voice speaks in your ear.
"Sit yourself beside Mistyflower to start, and get her a thick stick, this is going to hurt unfortunately." You are confused, but do what it said, asking Ripplepaw to get the stick. She nods and hurries off as you sit yourself beside Mistyflower. Leaffeather backs up to give you room.
"Now, feel around the kit to see where it is." You do as it said, feeling a little lump near where the kits is meant to come out. "If the kit is stuck, it is probably because it is upside down. Which side feels bigger?" You feel around, focusing on the shape of each side.
'The bottom' You think.
"Yes," you hear, "So massage from the side until the bigger part is on top." You consentrate, doing what the voice had told you to. As you finish, feeing the kit the right way up now, Ripplepaw runs in with the stick.
"Put it between her teeth." you say immediately. Her eyes widen, but she nods, doing what you told her to.
"Now, tell her to push, and at the same time you need to push right above the head." the voice meows to you. As you complete the birth, you finally turn to see the cat who was taking to you. Your eyes widen as you see it is a starry white she-cat with black cheetah spots, bright blue eyes, and a pink nose.
"Who...who are you?" you ask in awe. "My name is Brambleberry." she meowed. "I was a Riverclan medicine cat long ago. For now, that is all you need to know about me." You shake your head in shock.
"But, why come to me?" "You are more special than you know Stormpaw, don't give up hope on your passions. I will visit you again soon, but think about this time until then. This is a big step in your destiny." At that point, she faded away, and you were left with 2 kits, Mistyflower, and 2 very astounded medicine cats. Suddenly, you hear paws pounding as Thorntail pounds into camp.
"WHERE IS MY APPRENTICE!?" he growled furiously.
What do you do?
1.) Defend yourself, telling him what you just did and who you may have saved 2.) Come out and admit your actions were wrong, and agree to go back to training 3.) Hide in the nursery and hope he doesn't notice you.

What happened to making a new paragraph each time someone talks? Also, you seem to have two different second options (subliminal hint, possibly ). Spotstripe, just stop and think what has happened already. From the characters introduction you can instantly tell this cat is one of those "Down to earth" Mentors, who spend the first day of mentoring showing to their apprentice that kithood is over. I'll go through all events and explain how his actions/reactions support this, and why at this point he is very frustrated with us. When he tries getting us to train with the other apprentices, we get him to show us the territories instead. We go through his talking (ignoring the herbs the first time doesn't really count towards improving our relationship, just prevents us from damaging it). We get back with Thorntail thinking about how we still haven't gotten away with his first day's lesson. Then when he was going to transition to the lesson, we run off with our medicine cat sister. When we finally get back from that, he is pretty maddened by the fact that the day is almost over and he still hasn't gotten to his lesson. So he tells us that because we delayed it for so long, we'll have to fight with him. On the way to the training ground, he contemplates on the events of the day, and with the irritation we've caused him already, he just wants to let it out. Realizing that doing exactly that would go towards the lesson he is trying to teach, he turns on the way there and attacks us. The fact that he let's us gather ourselves a little afterwards before continuing on supports the fact that this is a lesson he is trying to teach, rather than him wanting to just beating up something. Then as he lets us gather ourselves we just turn around and run away. He is utterly shocked that once again this is happening, not to mention that we are running away already, when his entire lesson is for us to toughen up. This makes him feel as if the only way to toughen us up is to bring us to a place where we cannot simply run away, and fight there. Angered by the situation he is in with us keep on avoiding the lesson he storms into camp in frustration, trying to get us to learn his lesson. (Congrats if you managed to read and understand this un-edited tired INTP block-text evaluation of the character. You didn't think you'd get something like this for only 4 words, did ya?) (I hope this isn't too much, besides this is all based around one entry of characterization, and seeing that later entries support the evaluation, so technically it might be wrong characterization because of tunnel-vision on new ideas of characterization.) With this characterization, I think the last option is the worst, showing us hiding from reality. It is a toss-up between the first two depending on how you see the aspect of defiance being, whether you'd consider it brave to stand up, or stupid to defy authority. However, with the Starclan visit aspect added in it, saying to not give up hope on our passions, suggesting we later on become a medicine cat, showing the fact that we are capable of doing this would be the step in the right direction in terms of personal plot. So with this I choose option 1. End Note: Half of the reason I bothered doing all of this, is just putting a number is too quick of an action for me, and knowing that eventually the action will become careless, I spent over an hour writing up this evaluation and decision making process. This might not be the only time I do this, but it probably will be a while until I do it again (although, again, tell me if you consider me making my evaluations of personalities public as interference to other player's evaluations and votes).

So 3 for 1, that's easy, also, I've gone back and changed every post to the format you asked for, and also also, trouble, you actually got my idea of Thorntail perfectly! Good job!
You take a deep breath, but you know you can't get away from your mentor after all the wrong he would think you had done today. You pad out and stand before your mentor with you head held high.
"I am sorry I ran away. I heard Mistyflower screeching and I needed to come and see what was wrong." Thorntail glares at you.
"That's what I would call the inability to control yourself! Dealing with a birth is the job of Leaffeather or Ripplepaw! Why did you need to come?" he growled. You breath once more, having known this would be what was coming if you defended yourself.
"It turns out the kit was stuck, and neither Ripplepaw nor Leaffeather knew what to do. But I was able to massage the kit until it was the right way up and push it out. If I hadn't come in time, Mistyflower and the kits could have died." you meow calmly. Leaffeather then pads up next to you.
"It's true. I had tried everything I could think of, but I had never seen a kit get stuck before. All I want to know is, how did YOU know what to do?" she asked, turning to you. "You are much younger than me, and you can't have possibly seen a kit get stuck before any more than I have. So how did you know exactly what was wrong and how to fix it in Mistyflower?" she meowed with a curious gaze. Thorntail narrowed his eyes, now suspicious rather than angry.
"Yes, how did you know?" he meowed.
What do you do?
1.) Tell them about the Starclan medicine cat who came to help you 2.) Find an excuse for how you were able to know what to do
