coalstar // female // 30 moons // tags: clementineflower (court of the butterflies)

listening with her full attention on clementineflower, the bicolor molly tried to picture the area that she was describing. she could see how the ginger she-cat spoke of her clan's territory so fondly, it sounded like such a beautiful place. at least, from what she was describing. "that sounds like a very pleasant place." coalstar said with a nod, echoing her thoughts. pausing for just a moment, her thoughts shifted to her own clan's territory. as far as she remembered, clementineflower hadn't asked her about it before. "lightclan has a lot of open fields, though there's some patches of forest as well. our camp is well-protected by a cluster of trees, so we don't have to worry about storms causing any damage." the molly said, taking on a pensive expression. fortunately for her, the weather in lightclan's territory had been fairly mild for as long as she could remember. she was glad, harsh weather was just another thing that she'd have to worry about. "there's some greenery, too, and a few streams. it's nothing too special, but it's a nice place to live." she added with a small nod.


stagleap // male // 27 moons // tags: frostgaze (snowclan)


the light brown tom nodded slowly as frosteyes spoke. he had heard that about snow, too- that it could be harmful if you stay around it too long or aren't careful enough. the thought of it was a bit unnerving to stagleap, though he decided not to make that known. and while he had a decently thick coat, he wasn't all too sure that he could handle such cold weather. he was more than happy to stay in lightclan's territory. he tilted his head slightly as the conversation shifted to "snowball fights." he vaguely remembered playing mossball with his siblings as a kit, though that was ages ago. he had long since stopped playing them, and had almost forgotten about them completely until frosteyes had brought it up. the tom had, however, heard of snowball before from eggnog, who was one of the newer additions to the clan. he still wasn't quite sure on exactly what they were, but the fluffy molly had spoken of them quite fondly from what he could remember. "huh. how interesting." stagleap said thoughtfully, giving a slow nod of his head. part of him couldn't help but think that it might be fun, actually. maybe a bit painful, getting hit with a ball of icy snow, but still a bit fun. having been so busy these past few moons, stagleap could hardly remember the last time he got to be carefree like that.

mistyhaze // female // 30 moons // tags: metalcry (sloughclan)

the pale gray molly couldn't help but burst out laughing at the tom's question. she paused, shifting her paws in a somewhat embarassed manner. she hadn't meant to be that loud. after a few moments, though, she lifted her head and gave metalcry a small smile. "no, not really. we get a lot of sunlight there, though. since the territory's in a pretty open area." mistyhaze said with a small shrug. quite frankly, the molly wasn't all too sure why her clan was called lightclan to begin with. however, she might as well take a wild guess as to what the reason was. "but the clan's still pretty new, so it makes sense why you haven't heard of it before." compared to some of the other clans she had heard about, at least, her clan was still a fairly young one. she knew that some of them had been established many moons ago, which the molly couldn't even begin to imagine. "what's sloughclan like, anyway?" mistyhaze asked, tilting her head slightly. she was genuinely curious about what the tom's had to say. after all, the clan itself had a pretty interesting name. at least to her it did, as she wasn't quite sure what a slough was.

frecklenose // 17 moons // tags: romarintuft (chessclan)

the persian she-cat nodded as romarintuft described his own clan. she couldn't imagine what it must be like to live in such a large clan, and the idea brought up mixed emotions from frecklenose. it did sound like it would be pretty chaotic, he was right about that. but it was good that nobody in chessclan had gotten hurt, either. the fact that there had been no injuries that occured during the few moons that frecklenose had joined surprised her. it wasn't a bad thing by any means, however, as things were better off peaceful. at hearing the white tom's question, she tilted her head to the side. in all honesty, she wasn't all too sure how coalstar picked who got to go to the gathering. it must be a pretty easy decision, though, considering the small number of cats in lightclan. "for one, the higher ranks automatically go. which would make sense, I guess. I had asked if I could go this time, actually." she said with a small chuckle. when the leader had announced the upcoming gathering about a week prior, it had caught the molly's interest almost immidiately. "in all fairness, though, I don't think there were many others who decided to go this time." freckenose added, giving her shoulders a small shrug. the process of deciding would most likely change as the clan gained more members. but for now, there wasn't a specific way that the clan chose who attended the gatherings. "how about your clan?" deciding who got to go was probably a little more complicated in romarintuft's clan, since they had much more members than lightclan.

bearstep // male // 20 moons // tags: flaxduck (duckclan)

straightening his posture to sit up a little straighter, the burly, dark brown tom listened as flaxduck spoke. so duckclan did have a lot of ducks after all, huh? that made a lot of sense. he couldn't help but think that it would be strange if they didn't. it would be like if lightclan had a really shady territory or something. when the other tom had finished speaking, bearstep furrowed his brow in thought. of course, he hadn't seen many ducks in his clan and never really paid much attention to where they really lived. honestly, he had just assumed they lived in a body of somewhere not too far away. like a big lake, maybe. drawing his attention back to the other tom, he shrugged. "I'm not completely sure. I always thought that they lived in like, a lake or something." the tom said with a nod. it must be nice for them, to live wherever that they wanted to. not that bearstep didn't like it in lighclan, though. he loved it there of course. "or they could be magic. how would that work, anyway?" the tom added, his voice shifting to an inquisitive tone.


swancry // female // 19 moons // tags; cloudynight (hazeclan)

eyes wide in alarm, swancry tensed her muscles as the fluffy tom spoke. oh no. while she may have expected to hear something unfortunate, she would have never imagined to hear that. she cursed at herself silently for having accidently brought up such an uncomfortable topic. reassurance wasn't exactly the molly's strong suit, after all, and she didn't know exactly what to say. while she personally didn't have any siblings, she knew a too well how it felt to not fully succeed in healing someone else. and that wasn't even the half of it, from what cloudynight had said. shifting her paws, she took a few moments to recover the shocked look on her face. swancry had usually been so good at keeping her usual calm, unbothered demanor, but the tom's words had taken her by surprise. the white lykoi gave her body a small shake before speaking. "oh... I'm so sorry..." the molly's voice trailed off. genuine sympathy was evident in her tone, as she truly felt sorry for him. maybe swancry wasn't the kindest cat at times, but she wasn't callous by any means. she couldn't even imagine what cloudynight must have gone through over the past few moons. poor guy.

eggnog // female // 13 moons // tags; kitty (opal's circus)

eggnog tilted her head slightly, taking on a pensive expression. quite frankly, the young molly had never really paid much attention to lightclan's relationships with other clans. she did know, however, that lightclan had a handful of allies already. as a fairly friendly clan, they tried to keep good relations with the other groups they came across. but so many things had happened in eggnog's life as of late, it was hard to focus on everything that was happening in her clan. and besides, she knew that she wasn't known to have the best attention span. however, the name opal's circus did sound a famliar to her, so maybe she had heard it before after all. coalstar had most likely discussed it with the clan as a whole before. so it would make sense if it turned out that both clans were actually allies with one another. kitty would probably know about it more than her, though. "huh, I think we are." the molly said, her expression brightening. "that would be so cool!" eggnog very much liked the idea of her clan having allies. that would mean that she could visit friends in other clans. how cool would that be?

❦-- SɴᴏᴡCʟᴀɴ

briarstar -- leader -- she-cat -- tags: raptorstar(chaosclan)
Briarstar wondered what raptorstar was trying to do, smile? it didn’t look much like one. she smiled back -hoping that it was a smile- and mewed, “snowy, cold. in the spring it’s nice though. how about in..” she couldn’t quite pronounce the word, “chaosclan?”

frosteyes -- deputy -- tom -- tags: stagleap(lightclan)
frosteyes paused to glance up at his leader. she seemed to be having a conversation as well. the deputy looked back to stagleap, “so, uh, what is your clan like? not weather and territory, but..” the normally all-knowing tom trailed off.

glimpsebark -- med cat -- she-cat -- tags: owlglare(tidalclan)
glimpsebark nodded her head for a second. then, replying, the medicine cat mewed, “yeah.. but we haven’t attended that many gatherings.. do you like gatherings, owlglare?” glimpsebark used the other healer’s name to, hopefully, make owlglare more welcoming. glimpsebark didn’t think that the other she-cat was in a happy mood.

lakedusk -- warrior -- she-cat -- tags: jayfur(hazeclan)
lakedusk looked down when jayfur said others were ignoring her. she just realized that, and it made her embarrassed and slightly mad, she nodded in response. “some consider me annoying, I think.” lakedusk’s eyes wouldn’t land on one single spot, and kept flickering around.


note; two other cats are open, jinglenose and scorchcry, both warriors, tom and she-cat respectively.

CHESSCLAN !!

ROOKSTAR || Roi || Tom || 51 Moons || Tagged: Sun’s Guiding Light (The Court of the Butterflies)


Rookstar dipped his head to the side in confusion. “We see the underside of ÉtoileClan, obviously! The stars are just our ancestors smiling down at us. I always say I can see more stars at Gatherings, and it makes sense. The ancestors of all the Clans are mingling as well,” he meowed, his voice a deep rumble. Being born in a Clan had left his faith in his ancestors unwavering, but he knew some cats didn’t believe the same as he did. “What do you think is up there?” he asked brightly, hoping to lighten the mood before the conversation got all too serious. The Gatherings were supposed to be fun meetings of old and new friends, and he didn’t want to drive Sunlight away by taking the conversation down a route that could make her uncomfortable.


CHASMSTAR || Dame || Molly || 42 Moons || Tagged: Marlon (Earthfall)


Chasmstar's entire body vibrated as she surged into the Gathering. She had eyes for only one pelt, and she sifted through the mass of cats until she spotted the eyes that made her blood boil. She wouldn't let him get the better of her this time, no she wouldn't. She stalked across the ground until she reached the tom, twisting around to run her thick tail underneath his chin in a greeting. "Hello, darling," she purred, her voice silky smooth yet dripping with all the venom she could muster. "I sure hope this past moon has brought as much misery upon your shoulders as it possibly could," she chirped brightly, as if she hadn't just blatantly insulted and wished harm on another cat. Her eyes were turned up in a wicked smile, and she winked at the tom before sweeping herself in a circle and sitting with her tail wrapped tightly around her paws. With one final action to complete her strange hello, she reached up with a paw and lightly tapped the tom's nose with a kit-like grin.


RICHTERSCREECH || Tour || Tom || 61 Moons || Tagged: Ivyblossom (SpruceClan)


Richterscreech let out a nervous chuckle as the image of Violindapple crashing down the cliffside flashed through his mind, but he visibly swatted the memory away with his paw. "Things were rough for a little bit after a small patrol accident, but we're doing fine now. I'm still on light duty myself, and it's a wonder Wolfwhiskers even allowed me to come tonight," he chuckled, flexing his injured leg experimentally. Patrolling accidents were common among the Clans, but he didn't feel it necessary to share news of the molly's death with another Clan with it so fresh in every cat's mind. "What about SpruceClan? Are things looking better?" he asked, politely dancing around Ramsey's death. He didn't want Ivyblossom to dwell on bad memories, and he felt positively horrible for bringing him up in the first place. He would have to ask Butterflyleap when he returned home if she knew, and then he would curse Wolfwhiskers if she did. His no news policy was going to have to go if it kept him from knowing such a fact.


WOLFWHISKERS || Fou || Tom || 66 Moons || Tagged: Emberspark (HazeClan)

Wolfwhiskers blinked appreciatively at the molly, the one who so clearly understood what he wanted as well as agreeing with him. “Much better,” he sighed, stretching one limb out to emphasize his point. “Now, how have things been going for you?” he purred, eager to get into the pleasantries of the Gathering. Emberspark interested him, which was more than he could say for most cats in the Clans. He’d rather hear about her day than listem to the most thrilling tale an elder could offer. There was something about her voice that comforted him, not similar yet not unlike the way a mother’s voice could soothe even the rowdiest of kits. He didn’t feel as if he could bite the next cat he look at’s head off when he was with Emberspark, and it was something he thoroughly enjoyed. Still, he wasn’t about to sing his heart out to her in a powerful ballad that explained even the most out there similes to his feelings. That crossed a line, one Wolfwhiskers had drawn for a reason.

PAPILLONSHIMMER || Cavalier || Molly || 28 Moons || Tagged: Apisbumble (SloughClan)


Papillonshimmer’s eyes widened at the mention of a lost apprentice, and she knew the family and friends of the cat must have been crazy with fear until they were found. “How are things going with Antflare? I wish I could find myself a tom or molly, but nobody’s caught my eye yet,” she sighed dramatically, eyes sparkling with mischief as she brought up the tom Apisbumble had spoken about last time they met. It was true that she wanted to find a cat, but she knew the thought of kits currently terrified her. There were so many horror stories in ChessClan, but logic told Papillonshimmer that there were far more happy stories of new families.


CRÉCERELLEFLIGHT || Cavalier || Tom || 53 Moons || Tagged: Morasspounce (SloughClan)


He could feel the heat in his face and ears as he made eye contact with Morasspounce, but he made no move to hide his blush. “How have things been since I last saw you?” he meowed, hoping to hear any form of good news from her. Yet, he was also prepared to comfort her if her words carried any hint of sadness. Crécerelleflight had never been the best at consoling sad cats, but that didn’t mean he didn’t make an effort. He thought of the many toms and mollies that had broken Soleilstripes’s heart, and he chuckled softly. His brother had been utterly obsessed with finding his “one true love”, even if it meant trying to woo every cat he crossed paths with. Crécerelleflight had tried to advise him against several cats, but Soleilstripes’s adventures had always seemed to end in heartbreak.


ROMARINTUFT || Cavalier || Tom || 15 Moons || Tagged: Frecklenose (LightClan)

Romarintuft looked at Frecklenose with a nod of respect, glad she had the courtesy to respond to his question with a question. When the older cats had explained the rules of the Gathering, he’d been told that to keep a conversation going he had to ask as many questions as his partner. He didn’t, however, believe that it was a set in stone fact that he had to do that. “Well, any cat who wants to go can. The high ranks go, and then any cavalier can as well. When it comes to the younger cats, the apprenti, they have to ask a few days prior. Rookstar and Chasmstar will make their decisions the day before we journey. If it was different, we’d have every apprenti come to these things,” he chuckled lightly, still bitter that he had never been chosen as an apprenti to come. He’d asked every time, and yet never got to go.

KATTER AV DEN FROSNE ØYA

MOOSESTAR || Dronning || Molly || 58 Moons || Tagged: Squirrelflash (Evergreen Park)


Moosestar stared at herself in the puddle, quickly grooming her ruffled fur as she scoffed. She wasn't about to attend the Gathering looking like she just rolled out of her nest, that was for sure. Yet, that was the truth of what had happened. She had spent much of the past moon in her nest with Aukkit, Dallkit, and Verglaskit. After the accident which resulted in her losing a life and two of her kits being severely injured, she would take no chances. Fierce motherly protective instincts flooded through her, temporarily distracting her. She spun, narrowly missing another cat with her tail. "I'm sorry," she meowed, noticing the cat was in the leaders area. "I'm Moosestar," she meowed quickly, introducing herself so as not to be rude.


OYSTERSNAP || Hertuger || Tom || 94 Moons || Tagged: Atlasrain (ChaosClan)


Oystersnap dipped his head to Atlasrain respectfully before he sat down. “I traveled a long ways,” he meowed, his croaking voice finally smoothing into a soft bass. “And what about you? Did you have to come very far?” he meowed, shuffling his paws against the ground as he hoped he wasn’t being too forward. This was to be one of his last Gatherings, and he wanted to enjoy himself. He knew that once he retired from being Hertuger he would need to stay at camp with the rest of the older cats. Yet, he found himself not wanting to. He resolved to pester Moosestar to allow him to return to Gatherings even after he retired. The long journey may be too much sometimes, but he would be willing to make it other times.


CROOKEDSTRIKE || Nedre Beskyttere || Molly || 31 Moons || Tagged: Mintfur (SpruceClan) & Greenflash (RavenClan)


Crookedstrike’s heart yearned to tell Mintfur that she could understand all of his words even when they got confusing. "Oleanderthorn had better know what he's doing," she snorted, shaking her head so that her ears flapped. "If Tombecho or Maplesong even knew of my pregnancy, I wouldn't have been here tonight," she meowed, her eyes suddenly going wide. She hadn't meant to let it slip that she hadn't informed her Clan of her pregnancy, and she just leaned closer to the two cats. When Mintfur tapped her with his tail, she purred and leaned forward to press her nose to his. The comforting gesture was one she hoped would do the trick to calm him, but she was never the best at these things. At Greenflash's excitement, she just chuckled. "I can't wait to meet my own, that's for sure. I'm just curious how many there will be," she chuckled, a slight flash of alarm crossing her face at the thought of having six kits all at once. The largest litter in Frosne had only been four kits, but she wouldn't mind having more. To say everything truthfully, she could care less how many she had. She was just excited to be having them.
“I don’t think I could ever have that many litters. I love the nursery, but not enough to stay permanently,” she chuckled, shaking out her pelt. Her eyes widened as her belly swung beneath her, surprised it was already low enough to do that. It wouldn’t be long before she would have to tell Tombecho and Maplesong.


BELLMELODY & BOGBELLY || Lavere Jagere || Molly & Tom || 24 & 25 Moons || Tagged: Nutmegdawn & Peppermintcloud (IceClan)


Bellmelody grinned as Nutmegdawn and Peppermintcloud acted like an elderly couple, one that had been together for too many moons to count. She hoped to find a love like that someday, but she had to suppress the thoughts of that love being Bogbelly. "I was brought into Frosne as a young kit, so I've essentially grown up there. Same thing goes for Bogbelly," she meowed, answering for the tom who seemed lost in his thoughts. "Huh?" he meowed, blinking in embarrassment as he realized he'd missed a whole conversation point. Bellmelody giggled at the tom's response, and she turned back to the two IceClan cats. "Your territory sounds pretty nice. I could never imagine living somewhere without all the snow and ice," she chuckled, twisting their own words back at them.


DIPPERDUO || Seniorbeskyttere || Molly || 54 Moons || Tagged: Briarwind (Viridian Court)


”My name’s Dipperduo,” she meowed, sitting down near the molly she had accidentally started a conversation with. She felt slightly awkward to have done this, but it was too late now.


LEMMINGPAW || Lærling || Tom || 16 Moons || Tagged: Echopaw (SloughClan)


Lemmingpaw noted the surprise in the molly’s face and voice, and he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Lemmingpaw of Katter av den Frosne Øya,” he meowed, dipping his head to the younger cat in a respectful greeting. His nerves seemed to have evaporated at seeing Echopaw stumble over her words, and he had to stop himself from thanking her. That could be seen as weird, right? Thanking someone for being nervous because it helped you get over your own nerves? Lemmingpaw quickly shook out his pelt and flicked his ears before sitting down. He began to feel sorry that he had snapped at Gingerbreadpaw, and he made a note to apologize to her later. All young apprentices were excitable and didn’t always control themselves, and he couldn’t hold that against Gingerbreadpaw. After all, her naming ceremony was just three sunrises.


GINGERBREADPAW || Lærling || Molly || 6 Moons || Tagged: Impalapaw (SloughClan)


When Impalapaw asked if she was okay, Gingerbreadpaw sniffled and nodded. She was just as much trying to convince herself as she was him, and she just sighed. “I got a bit too carried away and my denmate snapped at me. I’m just so excited to be here, what with my apprentice ceremony having only been three sunrises ago. It’s so strange that Moosestar chose me to come,” she meowed, spinning in a circle to look at every visible inch of the Gathering. She was in awe at the sheer number of cats, and she shuddered as she realized how easy it would be to get lost. Maybe that was why she had been advised to stay with Lemmingpaw, but it was too late now. He’d been a feather-brain, and Gingerbreadpaw wasn’t going to apologize to his ugly face if she could help it. She suddenly stuck her nose in the air and huffed, her thoughts straying from Lemmingpaw. “Oh, I’m Gingerbreadpaw, by the way,” she added in a hurry. Just like her to forget to introduce herself.

CloverClan

Pebblestar-male-leader-tags: duckstar(duckclan)
“Yeah” he mewed “I can tell you about CloverClan afte

Rufflefur-male-maple-tags: open

Roarpaw-female-healing seedling-tags: bramblingpaw, avocetpaw(seaclan), cowpaw(ryeclan)
The tabby wandered around the gathering place unsure what to think of it. 'Its to loud' she thought miserably as she pulled her ears as down as she could. The young cat suddenly wanted herbs and ran over to find 3 cats. As one rambled on and on she said "hi to the other two"

Dawnglow-female-hunter-tags: open

Snakefur-male-defender-tags: wrenwillow(hazeclan)
“CloverClan” he mewed

Shatteredice-nb amab-defender-tags: scorchedrose, open

Scorchedrose(mute)-female-defender-tags: shatteredice, open

Darkfox-male-hunter-tags: cyangaze(sloughclan)
He flicked his tail while thinking what to say “no idea why it’s called CloverClan, our territory is all rocks and the constant fear you’ll be crushed. But no rocks have fallen yet, although the rocks are so fun to climb and bugs I’ve never seen before live inter them” realizing how much he said he mewed “what’s your clan like?”

Deadpaw-female-defending seedling-tags: Muntjacpaw(Cascadeclan) she pulled herself up the best she could to look as intimidating as she could, but she know the wouldn’t work very well when her legs where useless so she let out a snarl and hissed “CloverClan, why”

IVYBLOSSOM | Deputy | F | 46 moons | TAGS: Richterscreech
"You know, I think SpruceClan has been doing well," Ivyblossom laughed, thinking immediately to the nursery back in SpruceClan's camp. There were more queens expecting kittens in there than she'd ever seen before at once in all her time there! "There's plenty of kittens coming soon and prey has run well despite the cold. I'm sorry about the patrol incident, but I am glad to hear you've recovered well. It's always nice to finally leave the confines of a healer's grasp and get your first breath of fresh air."

MINTFUR | Warrior | M | 38 moons | TAGS: Greenflash, Crookedstrike
"That... isss a lot of k-kittens," Mintfur managed, eyes wide as Greenflash cheerfully described the sheer number of litters one of her clanmates had had. As Crookedstrike and Greenflash both chattered about what size litters they might be having, Mintfur just listened with a smile, though he had half a mind to scold them for coming out to the Gathering pregnant. "I can't wait to m-meet all of your kitsss. Both of-f you, ssstay safe and healthy. I'll sssend those herbs myself if I h-have to."

DUSKPAW | Healer's Apprentice | F | 15 moons | TAGS: Silverdapple
"That's amazing!" Duskpaw said, her tail wriggling eagerly. "I couldn't imagine being part of a clan with such an interesting legacy! Outrunning hawks and eagles and everything. SpruceClan's been around for quite some time, but they don't have much history... I think they used to live somewhere not in the mountains, though." Saying this, she finally settled down to sit and offered the older molly a sheepish grin. "Um... sorry if I'm rambling or anything. I just think that it's neat how there are so many different clans and stuff out there."

BADGERSTRIPE | Warrior | M | 32 moons | TAGS: Arilwrath
Badgerstripe's ears flicked back at the sound of approaching pawsteps, and he turned around to see a thick-furred grey tom marching towards him. There was a challenge in his voice and in the set of his shoulders, but other than a stern query, the stranger did nothing but stare. Badgerstripe just smiled, a little shaky, and licked flat the tuft of tabby fur that had spiked in his surprise. "You could say that," he said, looking the stranger up and down instinctively, weighing the threat. "I've not been to a Gathering in quite some time. My name is Badgerstripe, of SpruceClan. Where do you come from, and what do they call you?"

OTTER'S FANG | Royal Advisor | M | 76 moons | TAGS: open!
[ Otter's Fang is lurking around where the leaders and deputies gather. He looks bored, or maybe just sleepy. ]

SHADOW'S DANCE | Knight | NB | 43 moons | TAGS: Shadowgaze
"It is," Shadow's Dance purred. "It's much different than most of the clans gathered here, I'd imagine. We make our home in the remnants of an old Twoleg castle, so I suppose the formality must have rubbed off on our leader." They paused, laughing a little, before turning the conversation back to Shadowgaze. The last thing they wanted was to be too much of a chatterbox! "TidalClan, you said you come from? Would that be near an ocean? I've never seen the ocean before."

RIVER'S MELODY | Knight | F | 32 moons | TAGS: open!
[ River's Melody is muttering to herself as she wriggles her way through the crowds. She seems distracted. ]

FOGPAW + PALEPAW | Squires | M + F | 10 + 8 moons | TAGS: penguinpaw
"A farm? That's so cool!" Palepaw said, beaming at the black-and-white apprentice. "Fogpaw and I lived on a farm for a bit when we were little. What kinda stuff grows there? Rye, I'd guess? Anyways, I'm glad you're sticking with us, Penguinpaw, you seem cool." With every word, the little molly grew more and more excited, her voice rising in pitch.
Fogpaw shouldered his sister gently, cutting off her rapid-fire speech with a snicker. "Ignore that loudmouth," he huffed, rolling his eyes good-naturedly. "RyeClan sounds like a lovely place. Do you like it there?"

CHESSCLAN !!

ROOKSTAR || Roi || Tom || 51 Moons || Tagged: Sun’s Guiding Light (The Court of the Butterflies)

A respectful confusion filled Rookstar as he tried to grasp their understanding of their ancestors. It was strange to believe there were gods, but Rookstar knew many Clans did. He wondered if the gods of different Clans met and mingled during the Gathering, but he shook his head to clear his mind of such outrageous thoughts. He couldn’t see any god accompanying a small portion of the Clan to the Gathering, not when the vast majority remained at home in the camp. “I love it at sunset. The very few stars that are visible are the brightest at full night, and I find it interesting to try and determine which cats they represent. Are they the greats of the Clan’s history, or are they less-known cats who hold some position of honor for unknown reasons,” he mused, preferring his theory that one was the cat who tried to save ChessClan single-handedly.

CHASMSTAR || Dame || Molly || 42 Moons || Tagged: Marlon (Earthfall)


Chasmstar's entire body vibrated as she surged into the Gathering. She had eyes for only one pelt, and she sifted through the mass of cats until she spotted the eyes that made her blood boil. She wouldn't let him get the better of her this time, no she wouldn't. She stalked across the ground until she reached the tom, twisting around to run her thick tail underneath his chin in a greeting. "Hello, darling," she purred, her voice silky smooth yet dripping with all the venom she could muster. "I sure hope this past moon has brought as much misery upon your shoulders as it possibly could," she chirped brightly, as if she hadn't just blatantly insulted and wished harm on another cat. Her eyes were turned up in a wicked smile, and she winked at the tom before sweeping herself in a circle and sitting with her tail wrapped tightly around her paws. With one final action to complete her strange hello, she reached up with a paw and lightly tapped the tom's nose with a kit-like grin.


RICHTERSCREECH || Tour || Tom || 61 Moons || Tagged: Ivyblossom (SpruceClan)

Richterscreech nodded enthusiastically. “Wolfwhiskers means well, but he’s so overbearing sometimes. There are minor scrapes that end with me confined to his den for a moon,” he chuckled, not caring to fix his slight exaggeration. It was true that he often got into one-sided scraps with thorn bushes that left him a little worse for wear, but he wouldn’t admit that to a deputy of another Clan. “I thought my confinement would never end,” he meowed suddenly, raising his eyes to the sky with a wistful. “I was beginning to think I’d never get to sit out of camp and just stare at the stars,” he mumbled quietly.

WOLFWHISKERS || Fou || Tom || 66 Moons || Tagged: Emberspark (HazeClan)


Wolfwhiskers blinked appreciatively at the molly, the one who so clearly understood what he wanted as well as agreeing with him. “Much better,” he sighed, stretching one limb out to emphasize his point. “Now, how have things been going for you?” he purred, eager to get into the pleasantries of the Gathering. Emberspark interested him, which was more than he could say for most cats in the Clans. He’d rather hear about her day than listem to the most thrilling tale an elder could offer. There was something about her voice that comforted him, not similar yet not unlike the way a mother’s voice could soothe even the rowdiest of kits. He didn’t feel as if he could bite the next cat he look at’s head off when he was with Emberspark, and it was something he thoroughly enjoyed. Still, he wasn’t about to sing his heart out to her in a powerful ballad that explained even the most out there similes to his feelings. That crossed a line, one Wolfwhiskers had drawn for a reason.


PAPILLONSHIMMER || Cavalier || Molly || 28 Moons || Tagged: Apisbumble (SloughClan)


Papillonshimmer’s eyes widened at the mention of a lost apprentice, and she knew the family and friends of the cat must have been crazy with fear until they were found. “How are things going with Antflare? I wish I could find myself a tom or molly, but nobody’s caught my eye yet,” she sighed dramatically, eyes sparkling with mischief as she brought up the tom Apisbumble had spoken about last time they met. It was true that she wanted to find a cat, but she knew the thought of kits currently terrified her. There were so many horror stories in ChessClan, but logic told Papillonshimmer that there were far more happy stories of new families.


CRÉCERELLEFLIGHT || Cavalier || Tom || 53 Moons || Tagged: Morasspounce (SloughClan)


He could feel the heat in his face and ears as he made eye contact with Morasspounce, but he made no move to hide his blush. “How have things been since I last saw you?” he meowed, hoping to hear any form of good news from her. Yet, he was also prepared to comfort her if her words carried any hint of sadness. Crécerelleflight had never been the best at consoling sad cats, but that didn’t mean he didn’t make an effort. He thought of the many toms and mollies that had broken Soleilstripes’s heart, and he chuckled softly. His brother had been utterly obsessed with finding his “one true love”, even if it meant trying to woo every cat he crossed paths with. Crécerelleflight had tried to advise him against several cats, but Soleilstripes’s adventures had always seemed to end in heartbreak.


ROMARINTUFT || Cavalier || Tom || 15 Moons || Tagged: Frecklenose (LightClan)


Romarintuft looked at Frecklenose with a nod of respect, glad she had the courtesy to respond to his question with a question. When the older cats had explained the rules of the Gathering, he’d been told that to keep a conversation going he had to ask as many questions as his partner. He didn’t, however, believe that it was a set in stone fact that he had to do that. “Well, any cat who wants to go can. The high ranks go, and then any cavalier can as well. When it comes to the younger cats, the apprenti, they have to ask a few days prior. Rookstar and Chasmstar will make their decisions the day before we journey. If it was different, we’d have every apprenti come to these things,” he chuckled lightly, still bitter that he had never been chosen as an apprenti to come. He’d asked every time, and yet never got to go.

KATTER AV DEN FROSNE ØYA

MOOSESTAR || Dronning || Molly || 58 Moons || Tagged: Squirrelflash (Evergreen Park)


Moosestar stared at herself in the puddle, quickly grooming her ruffled fur as she scoffed. She wasn't about to attend the Gathering looking like she just rolled out of her nest, that was for sure. Yet, that was the truth of what had happened. She had spent much of the past moon in her nest with Aukkit, Dallkit, and Verglaskit. After the accident which resulted in her losing a life and two of her kits being severely injured, she would take no chances. Fierce motherly protective instincts flooded through her, temporarily distracting her. She spun, narrowly missing another cat with her tail. "I'm sorry," she meowed, noticing the cat was in the leaders area. "I'm Moosestar," she meowed quickly, introducing herself so as not to be rude.


OYSTERSNAP || Hertuger || Tom || 94 Moons || Tagged: Atlasrain (ChaosClan)


Oystersnap dipped his head to Atlasrain respectfully before he sat down. “I traveled a long ways,” he meowed, his croaking voice finally smoothing into a soft bass. “And what about you? Did you have to come very far?” he meowed, shuffling his paws against the ground as he hoped he wasn’t being too forward. This was to be one of his last Gatherings, and he wanted to enjoy himself. He knew that once he retired from being Hertuger he would need to stay at camp with the rest of the older cats. Yet, he found himself not wanting to. He resolved to pester Moosestar to allow him to return to Gatherings even after he retired. The long journey may be too much sometimes, but he would be willing to make it other times.


CROOKEDSTRIKE || Nedre Beskyttere || Molly || 31 Moons || Tagged: Mintfur (SpruceClan) & Greenflash (RavenClan)

“I don’t think I could ever have that many litters. I love the nursery, but not enough to stay permanently,” she chuckled, shaking out her pelt. Her eyes widened as her belly swung beneath her, surprised it was already low enough to do that. It wouldn’t be long before she would have to tell Tombecho and Maplesong.
Crookedstrike just rolled her eyes teasingly at Mintfur, sneaking in a wink at the last second. “Tombecho and Maplesong have well-stocked stores. We’ve got three mollies kitting this moon, and then there me,” she chuckled, gesturing at herself with her tail. The small boom of kits was exciting nearly every cat in the Clan, and Crookedstrike was growing more and more eager to meet her litter as news of Ospreyfrost, Aurorashine, and Orionstrike’s due dates grew closer and closer.

BELLMELODY & BOGBELLY || Lavere Jagere || Molly & Tom || 24 & 25 Moons || Tagged: Nutmegdawn & Peppermintcloud (IceClan)


Bellmelody grinned as Nutmegdawn and Peppermintcloud acted like an elderly couple, one that had been together for too many moons to count. She hoped to find a love like that someday, but she had to suppress the thoughts of that love being Bogbelly. "I was brought into Frosne as a young kit, so I've essentially grown up there. Same thing goes for Bogbelly," she meowed, answering for the tom who seemed lost in his thoughts. "Huh?" he meowed, blinking in embarrassment as he realized he'd missed a whole conversation point. Bellmelody giggled at the tom's response, and she turned back to the two IceClan cats. "Your territory sounds pretty nice. I could never imagine living somewhere without all the snow and ice," she chuckled, twisting their own words back at them.


DIPPERDUO || Seniorbeskyttere || Molly || 54 Moons || Tagged: Briarwind (Viridian Court)


”My name’s Dipperduo,” she meowed, sitting down near the molly she had accidentally started a conversation with. She felt slightly awkward to have done this, but it was too late now.


LEMMINGPAW || Lærling || Tom || 16 Moons || Tagged: Echopaw (SloughClan)


Lemmingpaw noted the surprise in the molly’s face and voice, and he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Lemmingpaw of Katter av den Frosne Øya,” he meowed, dipping his head to the younger cat in a respectful greeting. His nerves seemed to have evaporated at seeing Echopaw stumble over her words, and he had to stop himself from thanking her. That could be seen as weird, right? Thanking someone for being nervous because it helped you get over your own nerves? Lemmingpaw quickly shook out his pelt and flicked his ears before sitting down. He began to feel sorry that he had snapped at Gingerbreadpaw, and he made a note to apologize to her later. All young apprentices were excitable and didn’t always control themselves, and he couldn’t hold that against Gingerbreadpaw. After all, her naming ceremony was just three sunrises.


GINGERBREADPAW || Lærling || Molly || 6 Moons || Tagged: Impalapaw (SloughClan)


When Impalapaw asked if she was okay, Gingerbreadpaw sniffled and nodded. She was just as much trying to convince herself as she was him, and she just sighed. “I got a bit too carried away and my denmate snapped at me. I’m just so excited to be here, what with my apprentice ceremony having only been three sunrises ago. It’s so strange that Moosestar chose me to come,” she meowed, spinning in a circle to look at every visible inch of the Gathering. She was in awe at the sheer number of cats, and she shuddered as she realized how easy it would be to get lost. Maybe that was why she had been advised to stay with Lemmingpaw, but it was too late now. He’d been a feather-brain, and Gingerbreadpaw wasn’t going to apologize to his ugly face if she could help it. She suddenly stuck her nose in the air and huffed, her thoughts straying from Lemmingpaw. “Oh, I’m Gingerbreadpaw, by the way,” she added in a hurry. Just like her to forget to introduce herself.

SLOUGHCLAN
cats attending:
moonblossom, poppypool, oreganopaw, morasspounce, apisbumble, metalcry, cyangaze, cryptidmeadow, gingerblaze, cinderhowl, grasscloud, archwing, viperpaw, echopaw, impalapaw

Moonblossom tags: Amberlight [Ryeclan]
Deputy | She-cat | 39 moons
The she-cat stifled a laugh at the fellow deputy's reaction. She hadn't realized that she was asleep before she began the conversation. "I'm sorry to have woke you." she said to AMberlight as she wrapped her tail around her paws. Looking at the tortoiseshell she-cat in front of her she smiled "How has Ryeclan been this moon?" she asked.

Poppypool tags: Langsat [Cascadeclan]
Medicine Cat | She-cat | 51 moons
Her face dropped slightly at the mention of a disaster "Well we had a wind storm come thru a moon ago. It swept an apprentice away thankfully we found him safe and sound. Though his mother and siblings were worried dearly." she shivered as she thought about it. During that time Oreganopaw was a wreck and barely studied which is out of the norm for the apprentice. Plus Mirestar was still expecting her newest litter and Poppypool fears the stress wouldn't be good for them. Luckily they were both happy and healthy now with their mother.

Oreganopaw tags: Vaporpaw [Hazeclan], Pikapaw [Chaosclan]
Medicine Cat Apprentice | Tom | 13 moons
His face lights up at the topic of training "Are you both Medicine Cat Apprentices?" he asked excitedly. Wanting to learn how other clans trained their Medicine Cat Apprentices. Did they have different methods? Different herbs even? The possibilities to him were completely endless. He didn't want to seem overly excited but he couldn't help it. Healing his clanmates is something he felt like he was always meant to do. So any time he got to learn things excited him.

Morasspounce tags: Crécerelleflight [Chessclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 49 moons
Noticing the tomcat began to blush she was slightly confused. Not knowing if it was because of her or not she shook it off. She'd never felt so much worry for another cat outside her cat. It was a strange feeling. that's for sure "Nothing too exciting has happened other than a wind storm. With all the water around in the swamp, it got pretty wet. Oh, and during it, all one of our apprentice's got lost. she said remembering the frantic search party her leader put together. Granted it also happened to one of her own kits so Morasspounce doesn't know how she would have reacted. Having kits was never on her mind really as she was more focused to prove that even with her short legs she was helpful.

Apisbumble tags: Papillonshimmer [Chessclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 31 moons
At the mention of the ginger tomcat, her face instantly heated up. Even though they are officially mates she still gets so flustered around him. "Well I, uh, um he officially asked me to be his mate and I, uh said yes." she said stumbling on her words. Which was rare for her to do when she spoke with her sister. She was honestly surprised she was the first between them to find themselves a mate. Seeing as her sister was far more willing to talk to other cats. "You'll find someone someday." she said to her sister reassuringly.

Metalcry tags: Mistyhaze [Lightclan]
Warrior | Tom | 22 moons
A grin spread across his face as he heard her laugh at his joke. He was ecstatic that it hadn't fallen flat like he assumed it was going to after the words came out of his mouth. Listening closely as she spoke of how her territory was. It seemed rather strange to him granted it seemed to be the opposite of Sloughclan completely. "Well we are set in a heavily forest area that contains a marsh in the very center. So you've got to learn right away how to maneuver in wetland, flooding is one of our biggest concerns really. Other than an apprentice or two getting stuck when they first begin training." he said chuckling at the end statement. As it was very much true some didn't get the hang of it as fast as others. Even newly joined warriors took a bit to get used to the soft ground beneath their paws and how it could chance density so quickly thru the forest.

Cyangaze tags: Darkfox [Cloverclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 33 moons
"Maybe it called Cloverclan because of the lucky four-leaf clover. Seeing as you've got be lucky to not be crushed by a rock." she joked with Darkfox. When he asked the same question back to her she had to think about it a little. So she would say the correct words to describe the place she called home. "We sit in a forest that has what most would call a marsh, swamp, or wetland right at its core. The ground can go from solid to rather soft pretty quickly. It takes some time to get used to that's for sure." he

Cryptidmeadow tags: Riversnow [Court of Butterflies]
Warrior | She-cat | 19 moons
Confusion took over her face as she heard about how different his new clan was. Though her tail flicked out of interest wanting to learn more about the strange clan. "Wow.. Sloughclan isn't too different other than learning how to maneuver thru mud fast without getting stuck." she joked at the end with her old clanmate. It was true as she had gotten stuck in the marsh several times at this point.

Gingerblaze tags: open
Warrior | She-cat | 58 moons
brain is empty

Cinderhowl tags: Peridotgaze [Hazeclan]
Warrior | Tom | 37 moons
The tom was mentally cursing himself knowing he shouldn't have come up and started a conversation like that. His smirk faltered into a sheepish smile color=#804000]"I'm sorry that was very unnecessary of me."[/color] he said apologetically to the she-cat. Though he did find her rather attractive he should have known him flirting wouldn't work. It never did for him in his case. Yet Metalcry made all the ladies swoon and even some toms as well. The young tom truly amazed him and he didn't understand how he did it.

Archwing tags: open
Warrior | Tom | 36 moons
brain is empty

Grasscloud tags: open
Warrior | Tom | 38 moons
brain is empty

Viperpaw tags: Banjaxpaw [Cascadeclan]
Apprentice | NB | 7 moons
When he was asked how long her had been training he fidgeted a little. As he hadn't been apart of Sloughclan long and so he hasn't been training for long. "Only for a couple moons." he said trying not to falter as he spoke. Knowing the cat in front of him has been training longer than him for sure.

Echopaw tags: Lemmingpaw [Katter Av Den Frosne Øya]
Apprentice | She-cat | 7 moons
The small apprentice picked to stand still even with the other apprentice sitting. Mostly due to her wanting to appear taller than she really was "I'm sorry if I seem to be a little nervous. This is my first gathering and I've only been an apprentice for about a moon now... she told the older tom. Really wishing she had a tail she could wrap around herself at this moment. As she felt slightly embarrassed by herself.

Impalapaw tags: Gingerbreadpaw [Katter Av Den Frosne Øya]
Apprentice | Tom | 7 moons
He looked at the fellow apprentice with concern feeling slightly apologetic even though he didn't make her so upset. Granted a majority of his den mates right now have been his denmates since he was kit. "Don't worry I've only been an apprentice for a moon, and this is my first gathering too." he said to her giving her a reassuring smile. Wanting to cheer up the fellow apprentice he thought he'd attempt to brighten up the mood. What's been your favorite thing since becoming an apprentice? Personally, I like finally have a nest to myself rather than sharing with my mom and siblings." he groaned rolling his eyes dramatically at the end. Trying to get the she-cat to laugh or at least smile as he was purposefully overdramatic.

VIRIDIAN COURT
cats attending:
bluebellcrown, eeltooth, amberpool, briarwind, flamingmoth, mushroomforest

Bluebellcrown tags: Pantherstar [Hazeclan]
Queen | She-cat | 27 moons
Letting out an amused purr she smiled at the other leader "Don't worry we haven't been coming to the gathering for long and we skipped the last one." she said rolling her eyes remembering Eeltooth's insistence. Then realized she didn't want the other leader to think she rolled her eyes at her "Oh I wasn't rolling my eyes at you. Just at the thought of how my Duke was so insistent, we take a moon break from gatherings." she told her giving her an apologetic smile.

Eeltooth tags: Starlightflight [Hazeclan]
Duke | Tom | 29 moons
Nodding at the Starlightflight's question "I guess so." he said as he looked at the tom next to him. Relaxing slightly to know he was in the company of the deputy of the leader his own as speaking too. The conversation she seemed to be having seemed to be going smoothly "I just worry about her. She is like a sister to me and I fear others will not take her seriously because many didn't when the Celestial Amita picked her to be Queen..." he mumbled quickly partly to himself and partly toward the tom next to him.

Amberpool tags: open, other medicine cats prefered
Prophet | Tom | 31 moons
brain is empty

Briarwind tags: Dipperduo [Katter Av Den Frosne Øya]
Margrove | She-cat | 36 moons
Her tail and ears flicked as she felt like she put the other cat in a state of unease. "I'm sorry, I know you didn't mean to start speaking with me. If you have someone else you'd rather talk too that's fine." she reassured the cat. As she was used to just observing things. Shivering at the thought of the cool metal box she used to call home.

Flamingmoth tags: Embershadow [Tidalclan]
Knight | She-cat | 26 moons
Heat rushed to her face as she got rather embarrassed that she said that all just for him not to understand. "I-I I'm so sorry I've never really interacted with another cat outside of my own clanmates. So I assumed everyone functioned the same way as we do. I'm so sorry and I didn't mean to confuse you and now I'm rambling oh Celestial Amita I'm so sorry..." she said leaning down to cover her face with her paws. Realizing she had just completely embarrassed herself in front of Embershadow.

Mushroomforest tags: open

HazeClan

Pantherstar | Leader | Molly | Tagged: Bluebellcrown (Viridian Court)
Pantherstar smiled slightly, amused by the younger leader before her. "You peak my interests Bluebellcrown. Tell me. What is your clan like? As I assume by the naming system you guys run things a bit differently than most." the large gray female meowed.

Starlingflight | Deputy | Tom | Tagged: Eeltooth (Viridian Court)
Starlingflight nodded a bit, understanding where Eeltooth was coming from. "I can understand that... Although my clan adores Pantherstar when she first became leader she wasn't deputy or anything special, but a simple warrior. She ended the reign of a terrible monster and thus some of the senior warriors picked her. There where plenty of other choices that others thought would have worked better. However they respect and look up to her now. As for me.... Well Pantherstar and grew up together. She's my best friend. It came as a surprise when she picked me as her deputy rather than Jayfur. However I suppose we all have a destiny to follow." Starlingflight explained. Although he did not know the other tom well, he felt he could trust him.

Jayfur | Adviser | Tom | Tagged: Lakedusk (SnowClan)
"I don't think they understand. It's normal. Your excited. Your young. No worries. Like I said I have kits, six daughters to be exact. And boy did they drive my crazy there for a while. However becoming a father has changed my views on things and granted me plenty of patience. I'm more than happy to answer your questions or attempt to keep you entertained." Jayfur purred.

Cloudynight | Med. Cat | Tom | Tagged: Swancry (LightClan)
Cloudynight quickly realized he had basically unloaded all his pent up emotions onto a stranger. Quickly shaking his head he looked back at Swancry to see that she still remained. "I... I am so sorry to have just blurted all that out... It's been so hard lately to talk to others... I can't even talk to my best friend as he's grieving for the lose of his family as well... I... I'm sorry Swancry. So much for a good first gathering for you huh?" Cloudynight meowed, letting out a nervous chuckle.

Vaporpaw | Med. Cat Apprentice | Tom | Tagged: Pikapaw (ChaosClan) and Oreganopaw (SloughCLan)
With another cat to join in, Vaporpaw was happy that they where now a little trio of medicine cat apprentices. It be interesting to learn how other clans worked, maybe even learn something new that he could take back and tell Cloudynight about. "Yeah! I was telling Pikapaw here how I'm starting a little later though. I started training as a warrior apprentice until just recently." Vaporpaw explained.

Emberspark | Warrior | Molly | Tagged: Wolfwhiskers (ChessClan)
With the Fou, Emberspark was able to start seeing things in a brighter light once again. She always did seem to have a knack of taming the more grumpier cats than normal. She often wondered if she recived that gift from her mother Cherryshine. After all her mother was able to soften the heart of quiet and brooding Lionfang back in the day. Letting out a soft chuckle at the memories that came to mind Emberspark couldn't help but blurt out two words. "Thank you." she purred "For allowing to me step inside that walled off mind of yours." she added, flashing the tom a quick smile.

Wrenwillow | Warrior | Molly | Tagged: Snakefur (CloverClan)
Giving a small nod as Snakefur told her what his clan was, Wrenwillow smiled shyly at him. "I'm assuming gatherings aren't really your thing?" She asked. "Their not really mine either." Wrenwillow added, letting out a soft chuckle.

Peridotgaze | Warrior | Molly | Tagged: Cinderhowl (SloughClan)
Peridotgaze chuckled lightly, flicking her ears a bit before giving a small shake of her head. "I tease CInderhowl. Relax." she purred. "And ah... Metalcry you say. I've heard that name before. From a younger one of our warriors. Pikeleap. That tom could not shut up about how he met some cats. I defiantly remember the name Metalcry. Not a common name you here about." Peridot explained, moving to a more open area so that her and Cinderhowl could sit and chat rather than block the paths of others.

IvyClan

Turnstonefeather | Spy | Molly | Tagged: Eagkespeak (Court of Butterflies)
"I did... Although it was by accident. I like to take walks by myself at the end of the day. Clear my thoughts and help relax after a long day." Turnestonefeather meowed. "As a spy we are often more in charge of hunting and gathering intel. Where as assassins... well they tend to do the more dirty work for Snailstar. She may be small, but you do not want to get on her bad side." The calico molly explained. "I'll admit though.... It is kind of cute to see such a small cat get so angry and floofed up." she chuckled lightly.

[chaotic creativity]

CHESSCLAN !!

ROOKSTAR || Roi || Tom || 51 Moons || Tagged: Sun’s Guiding Light (The Court of the Butterflies)


A respectful confusion filled Rookstar as he tried to grasp their understanding of their ancestors. It was strange to believe there were gods, but Rookstar knew many Clans did. He wondered if the gods of different Clans met and mingled during the Gathering, but he shook his head to clear his mind of such outrageous thoughts. He couldn’t see any god accompanying a small portion of the Clan to the Gathering, not when the vast majority remained at home in the camp. “I love it at sunset. The very few stars that are visible are the brightest at full night, and I find it interesting to try and determine which cats they represent. Are they the greats of the Clan’s history, or are they less-known cats who hold some position of honor for unknown reasons,” he mused, preferring his theory that one was the cat who tried to save ChessClan single-handedly.


CHASMSTAR || Dame || Molly || 42 Moons || Tagged: Marlon (Earthfall)


Chasmstar's entire body vibrated as she surged into the Gathering. She had eyes for only one pelt, and she sifted through the mass of cats until she spotted the eyes that made her blood boil. She wouldn't let him get the better of her this time, no she wouldn't. She stalked across the ground until she reached the tom, twisting around to run her thick tail underneath his chin in a greeting. "Hello, darling," she purred, her voice silky smooth yet dripping with all the venom she could muster. "I sure hope this past moon has brought as much misery upon your shoulders as it possibly could," she chirped brightly, as if she hadn't just blatantly insulted and wished harm on another cat. Her eyes were turned up in a wicked smile, and she winked at the tom before sweeping herself in a circle and sitting with her tail wrapped tightly around her paws. With one final action to complete her strange hello, she reached up with a paw and lightly tapped the tom's nose with a kit-like grin.


RICHTERSCREECH || Tour || Tom || 61 Moons || Tagged: Ivyblossom (SpruceClan)


Richterscreech nodded enthusiastically. “Wolfwhiskers means well, but he’s so overbearing sometimes. There are minor scrapes that end with me confined to his den for a moon,” he chuckled, not caring to fix his slight exaggeration. It was true that he often got into one-sided scraps with thorn bushes that left him a little worse for wear, but he wouldn’t admit that to a deputy of another Clan. “I thought my confinement would never end,” he meowed suddenly, raising his eyes to the sky with a wistful. “I was beginning to think I’d never get to sit out of camp and just stare at the stars,” he mumbled quietly.


WOLFWHISKERS || Fou || Tom || 66 Moons || Tagged: Emberspark (HazeClan)

Wolfwhiskers's eyes widened instantly as the two words fell from Emberspark's mouth. As she quickly explained what she hem ducked his head in embarrassment and mumbled a few incoherent syllables while shuffling his paws across the ground. When he looked up out of the tops of his eyes, he couldn't bring himself to meet her own eyes. "It's not like I had much choice," he quickly meowed, the words flooding from him as if the dam had burst after he made the smallest crack. "Something about you just clicks well with me, and it's like I'm a different cat around you. I can't quite figure it out, and neither can my son. He says I come back from Gatherings with my head in the clouds," he chuckled, quickly shutting his mouth in the hopes that he hadn't said too much. He could see Rocherpebble now, grinning at him for what had just happened. He made a mental note not to share what happened to day with his son, but he knew the tiny beast would be able to get it out of him eventually. After all, Wolfwhiskers had promised not to keep anything from him during his effort to become a better father.

PAPILLONSHIMMER || Cavalier || Molly || 28 Moons || Tagged: Apisbumble (SloughClan)

Papillonshimmer let out a shriek of delight, spinning in a circle as she grinned widely at her sister. "I'm so happy for you! Oh, he'd better be a good tom otherwise you may have a mystery on your hands," she meowed, her voice dropping an octave as she narrowed her eyes menacingly. To lighten the mood, she laughed and purred some more. "I'm so glad you found yourself a tom, though I'd like to meet him eventually. It's only my right," she meowed, winking sneakily at her sister. "As for the finding some cat, I could care less. I'll let the right cat come to me. I've got a reputation to uphold," she meowed, lifting her nose in the air without an explanation. Really, she was known to be the molly that flirted with any available cat but never made the first move. She was just too nervous to take the full step and ask a cat out on dates, but maybe one day she would. It was strange, but Taureauwhisper said that Mocassincoil thoroughly enjoyed the dates he took him on. She'd have to try it someday, she decided.

CRÉCERELLEFLIGHT || Cavalier || Tom || 53 Moons || Tagged: Morasspounce (SloughClan)

Crécerelleflight mimed great shock at the disappearance of an apprentice. "Almost all young cats get lost at least once in their lives. You don't know how many search parties I've been on when one young cat decided to brave the storm and go hunting," he sighed, rolling his eyes in emphasis. He'd found two asleep on the banks of the stream, and another three curled up among the roots of trees. They were always asleep, having lost track of time during the storms and deciding to nap before returning back. "There are always the few truly lost cats that are in need of help," he quickly added, remembering Fourmisplash's adventure into the mountain pass to find Acaiheart. Crécerelleflight greatly admired the tom for his bravery, and for his continued devotion to ensure that Acaiheart's leg had healed properly.

ROMARINTUFT || Cavalier || Tom || 15 Moons || Tagged: Frecklenose (LightClan)


Romarintuft looked at Frecklenose with a nod of respect, glad she had the courtesy to respond to his question with a question. When the older cats had explained the rules of the Gathering, he’d been told that to keep a conversation going he had to ask as many questions as his partner. He didn’t, however, believe that it was a set in stone fact that he had to do that. “Well, any cat who wants to go can. The high ranks go, and then any cavalier can as well. When it comes to the younger cats, the apprenti, they have to ask a few days prior. Rookstar and Chasmstar will make their decisions the day before we journey. If it was different, we’d have every apprenti come to these things,” he chuckled lightly, still bitter that he had never been chosen as an apprenti to come. He’d asked every time, and yet never got to go.

KATTER AV DEN FROSNE ØYA

MOOSESTAR || Dronning || Molly || 58 Moons || Tagged: Squirrelflash (Evergreen Park)


Moosestar stared at herself in the puddle, quickly grooming her ruffled fur as she scoffed. She wasn't about to attend the Gathering looking like she just rolled out of her nest, that was for sure. Yet, that was the truth of what had happened. She had spent much of the past moon in her nest with Aukkit, Dallkit, and Verglaskit. After the accident which resulted in her losing a life and two of her kits being severely injured, she would take no chances. Fierce motherly protective instincts flooded through her, temporarily distracting her. She spun, narrowly missing another cat with her tail. "I'm sorry," she meowed, noticing the cat was in the leaders area. "I'm Moosestar," she meowed quickly, introducing herself so as not to be rude.


OYSTERSNAP || Hertuger || Tom || 94 Moons || Tagged: Atlasrain (ChaosClan)


Oystersnap dipped his head to Atlasrain respectfully before he sat down. “I traveled a long ways,” he meowed, his croaking voice finally smoothing into a soft bass. “And what about you? Did you have to come very far?” he meowed, shuffling his paws against the ground as he hoped he wasn’t being too forward. This was to be one of his last Gatherings, and he wanted to enjoy himself. He knew that once he retired from being Hertuger he would need to stay at camp with the rest of the older cats. Yet, he found himself not wanting to. He resolved to pester Moosestar to allow him to return to Gatherings even after he retired. The long journey may be too much sometimes, but he would be willing to make it other times.


CROOKEDSTRIKE || Nedre Beskyttere || Molly || 31 Moons || Tagged: Mintfur (SpruceClan) & Greenflash (RavenClan)


“I don’t think I could ever have that many litters. I love the nursery, but not enough to stay permanently,” she chuckled, shaking out her pelt. Her eyes widened as her belly swung beneath her, surprised it was already low enough to do that. It wouldn’t be long before she would have to tell Tombecho and Maplesong.
Crookedstrike just rolled her eyes teasingly at Mintfur, sneaking in a wink at the last second. “Tombecho and Maplesong have well-stocked stores. We’ve got three mollies kitting this moon, and then there me,” she chuckled, gesturing at herself with her tail. The small boom of kits was exciting nearly every cat in the Clan, and Crookedstrike was growing more and more eager to meet her litter as news of Ospreyfrost, Aurorashine, and Orionstrike’s due dates grew closer and closer.


BELLMELODY & BOGBELLY || Lavere Jagere || Molly & Tom || 24 & 25 Moons || Tagged: Nutmegdawn & Peppermintcloud (IceClan)


Bellmelody grinned as Nutmegdawn and Peppermintcloud acted like an elderly couple, one that had been together for too many moons to count. She hoped to find a love like that someday, but she had to suppress the thoughts of that love being Bogbelly. "I was brought into Frosne as a young kit, so I've essentially grown up there. Same thing goes for Bogbelly," she meowed, answering for the tom who seemed lost in his thoughts. "Huh?" he meowed, blinking in embarrassment as he realized he'd missed a whole conversation point. Bellmelody giggled at the tom's response, and she turned back to the two IceClan cats. "Your territory sounds pretty nice. I could never imagine living somewhere without all the snow and ice," she chuckled, twisting their own words back at them.


DIPPERDUO || Seniorbeskyttere || Molly || 54 Moons || Tagged: Briarwind (Viridian Court)

Dipperduo's entire body burned with shame as she tried to avoid looking at Briarwind. "I didn't mean it like that," she protested, eyes filling with fear as she looked this way and that. "True, it was an accident I started speaking with you, but I'm glad I'm here now. Unless you have some particular place you want to be, I'm fine to stay right here with you," she meowed, her voice short and straight to the point. She hoped she hadn't offended Briarwind, or worse, hurt her feelings. "I'm sorry," she apologized, hoping Briarwind wouldn't storm off or say she had elsewhere to be.

LEMMINGPAW || Lærling || Tom || 16 Moons || Tagged: Echopaw (SloughClan)

Lemmingpaw waved away Echopaw's nerves with a radiant smile. "I've been an apprentice for about six moons now, and this is only my first Gathering as well," he meowed, hoping to ease the younger molly. "I have many cats ask if I'm already a warrior, and it's embarrassing to admit that I started my training late," he chuckled. He quickly smoothed a rough patch of fur on his pelt, and he blinked up at her. "How has training been so far?" he asked, a smile on his face as he tried to prompt her to open up. His original nerves were entirely gone, and it lightly concerned him. Did he seem almost stuck up? He sure hoped not.

GINGERBREADPAW || Lærling || Molly || 6 Moons || Tagged: Impalapaw (SloughClan)

Gingerbreadpaw offered a small smile at Impalapaw's joke, and she nodded as explained his favorite aspect of being an apprentice. "I'd say leaving the camp is nice, but I can't do that for another moon," she chuckled, then launched into an explanation as she realized Impalapaw would likely be confused. "In Frosne, the territory is too harsh even for a six moon old apprentice. All cats must be at least seven moons before they're allowed out of camp, but some cats remain longer if their mentor believes them not ready to face the territory. This is typically smaller cats and those with short fur as it's hard for them to keep their body heat, especially in winter," she meowed, happy that she was larger and had long fur.

SLOUGHCLAN
cats attending:
moonblossom, poppypool, oreganopaw, morasspounce, apisbumble, metalcry, cyangaze, cryptidmeadow, gingerblaze, cinderhowl, grasscloud, archwing, viperpaw, echopaw, impalapaw

Moonblossom tags: Amberlight [Ryeclan]
Deputy | She-cat | 39 moons

The she-cat stifled a laugh at the fellow deputy's reaction. She hadn't realized that she was asleep before she began the conversation. "I'm sorry to have woke you." she said to AMberlight as she wrapped her tail around her paws. Looking at the tortoiseshell she-cat in front of her she smiled "How has Ryeclan been this moon?" she asked.

Poppypool tags: Langsat [Cascadeclan]
Medicine Cat | She-cat | 51 moons

Her face dropped slightly at the mention of a disaster "Well we had a wind storm come thru a moon ago. It swept an apprentice away thankfully we found him safe and sound. Though his mother and siblings were worried dearly." she shivered as she thought about it. During that time Oreganopaw was a wreck and barely studied which is out of the norm for the apprentice. Plus Mirestar was still expecting her newest litter and Poppypool fears the stress wouldn't be good for them. Luckily they were both happy and healthy now with their mother.

Oreganopaw tags: Vaporpaw [Hazeclan], Pikapaw [Chaosclan]
Medicine Cat Apprentice | Tom | 13 moons
Humming contently as the fellow apprentice spoke "I wanted to be a medicine cat from the moment my mom told me she use to be one." he said with an amused chuckle. As it was true plus herbs and healing fascinated him. In fact, before he became Poppypool's apprentice he would hang around her whenever she was in camp. So of course his mom knew he wants to become her apprentice, but it still took some convincing on his part.

Morasspounce tags: Crécerelleflight [Chessclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 49 moons
She looked at him curiously as he never spoke much about his clan before to her. So she was surprised to hear disappearance where commonplace there. "Usually it's an apprentice or two getting stuck in the marsh. So a disappearance was alarming as we didn't see the storm coming. He was with everyone else one second and then the next gone... his mother was worried sick." she said to him shivering at the thought of the storm. As it blew not only wind but water around them so most everyone was drenched once it was over. "Do tell me more about Chessclan though. You've barely said much about them before." she said very interested in learning about where Crécerelleflight comes from.

Apisbumble tags: Papillonshimmer [Chessclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 31 moons
She purred happily along with her sister and was relieved she was happy for her. Though she chuckled at her sister's response about needing to meet she nodded in agreement. It made her remember when he hand found her originally wandering the forest to find her sister with a group of his clanmates. He was so kind to her even though she wouldn't really speak to the clan at the start. Mirestar and he were the first few to actually hear her voice as she began to trust them. "He's very kind to me, he's actually watching over my costume for me." she said smiling at the thought.

Metalcry tags: Mistyhaze [Lightclan]
Warrior | Tom | 22 moons

A grin spread across his face as he heard her laugh at his joke. He was ecstatic that it hadn't fallen flat like he assumed it was going to after the words came out of his mouth. Listening closely as she spoke of how her territory was. It seemed rather strange to him granted it seemed to be the opposite of Sloughclan completely. "Well we are set in a heavily forest area that contains a marsh in the very center. So you've got to learn right away how to maneuver in wetland, flooding is one of our biggest concerns really. Other than an apprentice or two getting stuck when they first begin training." he said chuckling at the end statement. As it was very much true some didn't get the hang of it as fast as others. Even newly joined warriors took a bit to get used to the soft ground beneath their paws and how it could chance density so quickly thru the forest.

Cyangaze tags: Darkfox [Cloverclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 33 moons

"Maybe it called Cloverclan because of the lucky four-leaf clover. Seeing as you've got be lucky to not be crushed by a rock." she joked with Darkfox. When he asked the same question back to her she had to think about it a little. So she would say the correct words to describe the place she called home. "We sit in a forest that has what most would call a marsh, swamp, or wetland right at its core. The ground can go from solid to rather soft pretty quickly. It takes some time to get used to that's for sure." she said to him.

Cryptidmeadow tags: Riversnow [Court of Butterflies]
Warrior | She-cat | 19 moons

Confusion took over her face as she heard about how different his new clan was. Though her tail flicked out of interest wanting to learn more about the strange clan. "Wow.. Sloughclan isn't too different other than learning how to maneuver thru mud fast without getting stuck." she joked at the end with her old clanmate. It was true as she had gotten stuck in the marsh several times at this point.

Cinderhowl tags: Peridotgaze [Hazeclan]
Warrior | Tom | 37 moons
"Oh did I accidentally say that out loud... Dear Starclan I'm bad at these things." he said giving a small chuckle in hopes to make him feel better. His ears twitched when he heard the name Pikeleap and laughed a little to himself. "Ah, I've heard Parsleypaw, wait I mean Parsleybound speak of Pikeleap. I think she fancies him quite a lot." he said almost forgetting she went thru her warrior ceremony recently. He thought for a second was Metalcry's name really that unusual? He didn't think so but he'd been around the tom for a while "I've heard others in my clan mention some think some of the names in our clan are unusual. Granted Metalcry got his because when he originally joined he said his name was 'Cling'. Which made no sense and he related it to metal so Mirestar called him Metalpaw. Then he just can't seem to shut up or at least I don't think he can, and that's why I think he got his name. Granted I guess that's the same reasoning for me too." he chuckled as it was true he was a chatty tom. That was most likely the reason '-howl' was the second part of his name.

Viperpaw tags: Banjaxpaw [Cascadeclan]
Apprentice | NB | 7 moons

When he was asked how long her had been training he fidgeted a little. As he hadn't been apart of Sloughclan long and so he hasn't been training for long. "Only for a couple moons." he said trying not to falter as he spoke. Knowing the cat in front of him has been training longer than him for sure.

Echopaw tags: Lemmingpaw [Katter Av Den Frosne Øya]
Apprentice | She-cat | 7 moons
She wasn't shocked really to hear someone start their training later. Everyone had to start at some point right? "Definitely figuring out how not to get stuck in the mud. Luckily Morasspounce was very helpful with that since my mentor doesn't have short legs as I do." she sighed. It was true she was one of the few in the clan that it took a lot more consideration to get around the wetlands. Simply due to her height being a disadvantage at that aspect. Granted Morasspounce and Burningcobra always told her it was a blessing, she would say otherwise.

Impalapaw tags: Gingerbreadpaw [Katter Av Den Frosne Øya]
Apprentice | Tom | 7 moons
Slightly shocked to hear the apprentice hasn't really left the camp yet. Though he was also intrigued as it was fun to learn not all clans did apprentice training the same way. "Well I guess you beat the system though because technically you had to leave camp to come to this gathering." he said smirking at her and giving her a sly wink. He couldn't imagine have become an apprentice but not being able to leave the camp. Granted leaving the camp was one of the first things they had to do in Sloughclan. So that mentors could train their apprentices on how to not get stuck in the mud. Which failed most of the time.

VIRIDIAN COURT
cats attending:
bluebellcrown, eeltooth, amberpool, briarwind, flamingmoth, mushroomforest

Bluebellcrown tags: Pantherstar [Hazeclan]
Queen | She-cat | 27 moons
Nodding her head she let out a small laugh "Yeah I figured our naming system was different after the first gathering I attended. Like I said I'm the Queen which is the same as a Leader in most clans. Except the Celestial Amita chooses not whatever cat was the previous Queen or King's Duke or Dutchess. Which the Duke or Dutchess is the same as most clans deputies. I know it's a lot but when you live and grow up in it; it's pretty easy to learn." she said realizing she said a lot at once to the other leader. Not wanting to overwhelm her with information about her clan, that may overall not be useful to her in any way.

Eeltooth tags: Starlightflight [Hazeclan]
Duke | Tom | 29 moons
Unlike many other cats, Eeltooth felt at ease with the tom beside him. Usually, he is only comfortable with his clanmate, but they still say he is a grumpy gus, whatever that is. "We had many a senior warrior leave the clan and even convince their younger kin to do the same when Bluebellcrown came to power. Simply because they were outraged at the Celestial Amita for picking such a young cat to be their Queen. I have no clue where they are now, but frankly, I don't care. Bluebellcrown has done a fantastic job at being our Queen." he said proudly of his friend whom he had grown with.

Amberpool tags: open, other medicine cats prefered

Briarwind tags: Dipperduo [Katter Av Den Frosne Øya]
Margrove | She-cat | 36 moons
Stifling a chuckle she smiled as she looked over at Dipperduo with kind eyes. "You're fine frankly I don't know if I would have been able to start a conversation on my own. I've always been more of an observer..." she said trailing off slightly at the end. Only her clan knew of her past and where she came from. They had accepted her with open arms, even though what she told them completely confused and horrified them. They became the family she never got to have really.

Flamingmoth tags: Embershadow [Tidalclan]
Knight | She-cat | 26 moons

Heat rushed to her face as she got rather embarrassed that she said that all just for him not to understand. "I-I I'm so sorry I've never really interacted with another cat outside of my own clanmates. So I assumed everyone functioned the same way as we do. I'm so sorry and I didn't mean to confuse you and now I'm rambling oh Celestial Amita I'm so sorry..." she said leaning down to cover her face with her paws. Realizing she had just completely embarrassed herself in front of Embershadow.
