duckclan - attending: duckstar, marchsnow, clovermouse, mintpaw, rookflight, foxangel, coco, puddlepaw

duckstar - female - 50m - the yellow guide - mate: littleink - tags: with puddlepaw, ignitionpaw (cascadeclan)
"look, another apprentice!" duckstar told puddlepaw, nudging him. he was staring at the apprentice, probably silently judging him. "i'm duckstar, and this is puddlepaw. he's a little grumpy today." she nudged puddlepaw again. he grumbled something under his breath.

puddlepaw - male (afab) - 11m - apprentice - open for relationships, pan - tags: with duckstar, ignitionpaw (cascadeclan)
"hi," puddlepaw mewed to the apprentice, eyeing him up and down. cascadeclan? he remembered some of the other clan members telling him about meeting with cascadeclan cats during gatherings. he tried to remember what they said, but then he realized that flaxduck talked about ducks the entire time. "we're from duckclan." he stood stiffly, looking to duckstar and hoping she'd go away, but when she caught his gaze she just smiled at him.

marchsnow - male - 52m - the blue guard - mate: asterblizzard - tags: open

clovermouse - enby (amab) - 28m - med cat - open for relationships, pan, has 3 kits - tags: open

clovermouse weaved through cats, occasionally accidentally stepping between two cats in the middle of a conversation, as he looked for someone interesting to talk to.

mintpaw - female - 8m - med cat app. - open for relationships, lesbian - tags: open

mintpaw looked to clovermouse to see what he had to say, but he was already off. "bye!" he called over his shoulder. "bye?" she looked around the gathering area, dazed. winterwood had decided that she was mature enough to go to the gathering, but she didn't realize that she would be with clovermouse, the least responsible green magician there ever was to be. she knew there was at least one other apprentice from duckclan at the gathering that she could ask for directions from, but she was hopelessly lost and couldn't find him and instead ended up wandering around with a dazed expression.

rookflight - female - 31m - warrior - tags: firetail (cloverclan)
someone blocked her line of vision, and for a moment she thought they would go away but they decided to sit there. she eventually decided to approach them, having nothing else to do. "hello," she called, giving a friendly wave of her tail. "mind if i join you?"

foxangel - female - 59m - warrior - tags: open

foxangel nervously peered into the gathering area, not sure what she was meant to do. she had been excited to return to her warrior duties but quickly found that she had forgotten a lot, and it had been ages since she had gone to a gathering. did duckstar want her to do anything in particular? she remembered that silentstar would always ask something of them to do at the gatherings.

coco - female - 27m - warrior - tags: open

the fallen

badgermask|warrior|molly|aldernight (cascadeclan)
badgermask's head turned when a tom approached her. he had a certain air around him, a sense of high status. she listened to him introduce himself. storm's tempest? a strange title in badgermask's mind. then again there were all sorts of different clans at this gathering. "i am badgermask, of the fallen. it's a pleasure to meet you aldernight." she had no fancy title to claim, as one had yet to hand off the deputy position to any cat in the fallen.

pinewatch

wolfsnarl|king|tom|open
wolfsnarl arrived with his party of cats behind him. the king had been hesitant to attend the event considering pinewatch was just beginning to rebuild, but hawkstorm managed to convince him that this was a good idea. he watched as hawkstorm excitedly bounced off to go meet other cats, while laketalon and yewclaw stayed fairly close to wolfsnarl.
hawkstorm|hunter|tom|sparrowflutter (highgarden)
hawkstorm noticed the she-cat approaching him, his ears perked up with excitement to talk to someone new. "good evening, i am doing well, it is a beautiful night." the tom said returning the greeting. he nodded his head in agreement about the snow. "it had been quite cold this season hasn't it? it's still a bit chilly where i'm from, but i do hope it starts to warm up soon."

cats attending: stoneburr, foxtrot, snowpetal, yewberry, quailjaw, coypond, daisypaw, wrenpaw

Stoneburr - wise one - 91 moons - male - tags; foxtrot, open

The last thing Stoneburr had expected as the chatter of the upcoming gathering rippled throughout the caves was that he'd be trotting ahead of the younger group, leading them into the field. He'd been happy to sit idly in the back of the caves as the members of their seemingly still scattered clan conversed over past gatherings and strangers turned friends. Then, as worries began to float around over who would be acting leaders, Stoneburr's ever wonderful mate had spoken up with the biggest grin to volunteer the two. So here he was, frowning beside his skipping mate as the youngsters dispersed into the crowd of strangers.

Foxtrot - wise one - 89 moons - male - tags; stoneburr, open

Foxtrot couldn't help but to laugh at the sneer upon his mate's face as the two made themselves comfortable to the side of the gathering cats, he'd known the reaction he would receive from the steely tom the moment he'd stood to volunteer the two as acting "leaders" for the gathering group. Perhaps Foxtrot had done so for his own amusement, but he knew they could both use the time away from the fractures of their home and the lost friends that plagued each empty corner of the caves. With a small sigh, the ginger tom let his shoulders droop and heavy body lean against his mate's darker pelt, it seemed no matter where the two went or what was going on around them, Foxtrot could always find comfort beside the older tom.

Snowpetal - healer - 26 moons - female - tags; healers, open

The young healer admittedly hadn't been so excited by the news of a gathering this moon, even less so when she'd realised Lilybloom planned to send her instead of attending herself. Snowpetal wasn't so sure why the older she-cat deemed it a good idea, but as the white pelted healer made her way through the crowds she began to see the gathering in the ways her mother might have, in the ways Blossomspeck likely had. It could be fun; all the strangers with their stories, all the different clans with their own customs, and all the lessons they could have to teach. However, Snowpetal felt saddened by this realisation as her gaze shifted around the clearing, she wondered what it had been like the last time her mother & Blossomspeck attended, if they somehow knew it might've been their last.

Yewberry - warrior - 34 moons - male - tags; cobrashade [chaosclan]

The light grey & white tom was excited, noticeable by the twitching of his tail, as he split from his brother's side and began weaving his way through the crowded clearing. He wasn't so sure what exactly it was he was seeking, but Yewberry found his paws tended to have a mind of their own and he'd simply take with stride wherever it was he ended up. It seemed, this time, to lead him in the direction of a younger-seeming tom with a sharp gaze, drawing Yewberry in closer with a mild curiosity. "Hello there!" The warrior was quick to approach, smile kind and bright as he trotted towards the steely tom. As Yewberry's brother would always say; he wasn't very good at reading certain situations. "I'm Yewberry, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Quailjaw - warrior - 34 moons - male - tags; shoreabranch [cascadeclan]
The gentle smile on the tom's face morphed into an amused smirk as the she-cat spoke, deciding that he rather liked the slight slyness her words caressed. "Well it is certainly a pleasure to meet you, Shoreabranch". The younger feline dipped his head in a polite greeting before settling beside her, despite the fact Quailjaw was rather desperately trying to achieve an air of confidence, his pelt continued to warm. A small snort of laughter sounded from the tom at her teasing, light brown eyes turning to run over the older feline as he seemed to lean away for a moment, "I do believe he was, he seemed to appreciate the comedy of it if his silent laugh was anything to go by". Quailjaw had given up on trying to tease the molly in return, given he quite liked her unique name. "Are you familiar with quails however? I can assure you those small beaks feel rather akin to the bite of a jaw".

Coypond - hunter - 26 moons - female - tags; yewclaw [pinewatch]
This gathering was one of what felt like many Coypond had attended, memories of her first as a starry eyed to-be flashing to mind each time she stepped into the bustling clearing. This would be the first gathering without a proper leader, something the young hunter wasn't aware would bother her as much as it seemed to now, gaze drifting over the felines carrying the air of responsibility that came with many of the leaders. It didn't take all too long for her to spot another feline seated further away, a soft hum sounding from the molly before she began to make her way towards the tom, content to ignore the blatant annoyance apparent on his face. "Well, you seem to be enjoying yourself over here".

Daisypaw - to be warrior - 12 moons - female - tags; mintpaw [duckclan]
The soon to be warrior had found herself striding through groups of strangers and mingling around in bits of conversations as she split from her brother's side, finding comfort in going forward on her own. Soon she found her eyes trailing another young to-be as they walked about the gathering, though appearing much more the frightened type than most of the other felines around them. Daisypaw continued to watch the younger she-cat closely as she sat to the side, eyes growing ever softer at the look of hoplelessness grasping the poor thing. With a sigh, the to-be dragged herself up and started towards the younger, thick tail waving to draw her attention. "You certainly seem a little lost here. I'm Daisypaw, who might you be?"

Wrenpaw - to be hunter - 12 moons - male - tags; open

HIGHGARDEN

birchflame: king, tom, he/him, 68m. tags: open
indentbirchflame watched through half-lidded, tired eyes as the rest of his patrol dispersed through the gathering until, at last, he was alone and left to find his own way towards the leader's area. the broad-shouldered king of highgarden sat tall, with his tail wrapped neatly over his paws, as he gazed across at the other leaders. though it wasn't his first gathering acting as highgarden's leader, there was no doubt in his mind that birchflame wouldn't miss the responsibility when tawnyrose left the clan's nursery.

merlinsong: herbalist, tom, he/him, 74m. tags: langsat - cascadeclan
indentdeath. it certainly hadn't been in the forefront of merlinsong's mind to recount all of the losses highgarden had faced over so many moons, but it was an important question, merlinsong supposed as he gazed at the molly who had approached him. in the face of her boldness, he could only frown and sit back on his haunches. "we lost two of our senior members who had been with the clan for so many seasons, you know? not just our younger members, but so many of our older, most respected members never knew a highgaden without bassflow and lyrewhistle. bassflow has a mate and kits who have grown up to be some of our most highly skilled, and lyrewhistle was young despite her many moons of experience, and i think she was looking to raise kits with her own mate soon. but they're both gone now, and even after many losses since i've been in highgarden, that's something i'm trying to figure out, too." he breathed out deeply and his whiskers quivered. still, he continued with a brief, resolute nod, as if to encourage himself, "i think the best any of us can do is remember that we try our best every single day. but, sometimes, the gods have other plans in place."

solsticestand: herbalist, molly, she/her, 22m. tags: cloudtongue - pineclan
indentthe youngest highgarden herbalist watched as her mentor's tail disappeared into the moving and shifting crowd before she smiled to herself. after so many moons training closely with merlinsong, solsticestand knew that merlinsong would let the crowd take him as it pleased, and softglow had warned her that it meant the odds of merlinsong ever arriving to meet the other medicine cats was extremely low. it was with softglow's words in mind that solsticestand moved through the crowd in search of the sharp, familiar scent of herbs. if merlinsong wouldn't make friends with the other medicine cats, solsticestand figured that she would. at the very least, spencer would appreciate the words of wisdom and news from other healers and mentions of how their respective clans were faring after a long winter.
indenteven still, when compared to her siblings and mentor, solsticestand lacked the same level of confidence when meeting strangers, and her shoulders rose tensely when she finally found the group of medicine cats. she was used to merlinsong's long stories and riddles meant to make her laugh, and spencer's polite and friendly guidance. instead, solsticestand gazed awe-struck around the crowd of strangers larger than her, more experienced than her, and she felt her tongue lock in her mouth. unable to bring herself to approach any of the older medicine cats, she found a young tom who appeared young enough to be around the same age, and she cleared her throat awkwardly, her eyes wide. "hi - um, are you a medicine cat? my name's solsticestand and i was just recently given my full name and this is my first gathering as a full herbalist and..." she trailed off for a moment, mindful of her rambling. she laughed quietly at herself before shaking her head. "i'm nervous, i guess you could say. would you mind if i sat over here with you?"

garnetgleam: knight, tom, he/him, 60m. tags: open
indentgarnetgleam sat alone towards the edge of the gathering, grooming his eyes as he sat and observed from the outside of the crowd, acting as a curious - and, perhaps, nervous - onlooker to the cats from many different clans.

sparrowflutter: rose, molly, she/her, 22m. tags: hawkstorm - pinewatch
indentthankfully, sparrowflutter thought, the warrior seemed quiet excited and welcoming to conversation, which made her smile wider in turn. "it certainly has. we have a fair few clanmates with longer and thicker fur, so they don't seem to mind the cold as much, usually, but even they voiced a few complaints this season, so you know that it wasn't a particularly easy winter, after all." with a teasing smile, sparrowflutte tipped her chin at the stranger. "i'm still jealous of your fur, it looks like it could keep a little bit of the chill out of your pelt," she laughed, thinking of her own fur, which was much shorter. at that, sparrowflutter tipped her head curiously. "i'm curious - where are you from? what's it like?

primrosebriar: rose, molly, she/her, 17m. tags: juniperglow - chaosclan
indentprimrosebriar stepped delicately across the clearing, mindful of the many, many, unfamiliar faces that flanked her on each side. her first thought was that asterblink would love the chaos and energy throughout the gathering; primrosebriar imagined her older brother racing between warriors twice his size, sure to annoy birchflame when a disgruntled leader came to complain about their clan full of warriors with stepped-on tails. primrosebriar knew that her other brother, buttercupnose, would be fearful of the noise and the crowd, and her sister, maplefrost... well, there was a reason that primrosebriar had been asked to join the gathering patrol without her siblings. as such, she made the effort to keep her chin high an her poise as graceful as ever.
indentthe young rose only paused in her wandering when a welcoming smile caught her attention, and she dared to pad closer to another molly who appeared to be about the same age. "hi there," primrosebriar breathed, managing a smile of her own. "i'll have to admit - this is my first gathering and i'm feeling a bit lost and more than a bit overwhelmed. would you mind if i sat over here with you for a little while? my name's primrosebriar, and i'm from highgarden."

[DadjokeNess]

Cocoaclan

Pizzastar - Leader - Orange and white molly who is very large and elegant - She/Her
->Birchflame (Highgarden)

Pizzastar grinned mischievously as she saw the big tom settling at the edge of the leader's clearing. Still smiling, she strutted forward to sit by him.
"Howdy! I'm Pizzastar from Cocoaclan, who are you?" she purred. "It sure is a lovely gathering we've got going on today!"

Maplesyrup - Warrior - Brown (Genetically black) tabby shorthair with green eyes - He/Him
->open to warriors

Maplesyrup bounced eagerly into the crowd, letting the flow of cats carry him around as he indulged in the smells around him. It was lovely to enjoy all the unique scents, from the cats that smelled like oceans and pine forests, to the cats that smelled like mountain rain, to the cats that smelled tangy and metallic or like the thunderpath. It was lovely!
He bounded forward, looking for a great place to talk to new friends, eventually settling under a tree. Sitting on one of the jutting roots, he grinned at the crowd and waited for someone to come talk to him.

Keylime - Warrior - longhaired polycaudal mackerel blue tabby lykoi with green eyes - he/him
-> Here for Morasspounce (Sloughclan) and Crécerelleflight (Chessclan)

Keylime had wandered into the gathering a bit behind everyone else, so he saw the easy way they dispersed into the crowd. About to do the same, his eyes landed on a familiar face peeking above the crowd, standing on her hind legs.
He walked forward gently, trying not to get jostled too much as he slid in front of the molly. "Morasspounce? Is that you? It's me, Keylime! Remember me?"

Tealeaf - Medicine Cat - Brown and white tabby longhair - she/her
->open for med cats

Nudging her young apprentice into the crowd, Tealeaf smiled. This gathering would be good for young Pepper, a chance to meet others her age who didn't suffer from...Cocoaclan brains. As she nodded encouragement to her apprentice, watching fondly as the young cat walked over towards the other youngsters, Tealeaf walked towards the other medicine cats with more confidence than she'd felt in quite a while.

Pepperpaw - Med Apprentice - shorthaired black tortoiseshell mackerel tabby missing her right leg - She / Her - 11 moons
->Penstemonpaw (Pineclan)

Pepper grinned widely at the other apprentice. "I'm Pepperpaw! I'm a medicine 'prentice from Cocoaclan!" She took in the other youth's nervousness. "It's really fun to be here, but if you wanna sit somewhere quieter, we can do that!"

---

Pillar Clan

Starearth - Leader - a fawn mackerel tabby with green eyes and scars - he/him
->open for other leaders

Starearth, reassured finally that no one from his old clan would be at these gatherings, slid into the crowd with barely concealed unease. He knew it was good to make allies, and young Barkbrush had pleaded for a chance to come back and see the molly they'd fallen for again, but the crowd always felt threatening. Starearth slunk forward until he reached the edge of where the leaders and deputies gathered, and he settled himself in the shade to watch the others and see who wished to talk.

Barkbrush - Warrior - a mediumhair chocolate spotted tabby with low white, a face burn and two scars - They / Them
-> Here for Mourningdove (Viridian Court)

Barkbrush's eyes scanned the gathering eagerly. They knew they'd missed a few of the recent gatherings, Starearth had gotten overprotective when the kittens had been born, but now they were back! Their heart fluttered, what if Mourningdove had found someone else? Someone better?
They felt relief wash over them as they saw her looking around. With joy Barkbrush bounded up.
"Mourningdove! I missed you so much, I'm sorry I wasn't here the last few gatherings, we had some kittens born and...you're really pretty today..." Barkbrush faltered, immediate shyness taking them over. What if she wasn't looking for them?

Henfeather - Warrior - Tortoiseshell - She/Her
Snowdrop - Queen - a white shorthair with blind amber eyes - She/Her
-> Here on a DATE
-> Coco ( Duckclan)

Snowdrop's nose twitched and she smiled happily. Nudging Henfeather she tilted her head towards the cat she could smell walking by.
Henfeather hollered. "HEY YOU! Want to come sit with us?"
Snowdrop followed. "It's okay, we're nicer than she looks. I'm Snowdrop and this is my girlfriend Henfeather, would you like to join us?"

[chaotic creativity]

CHESSCLAN !!
ROOKSTAR | Roi | Tom | 52 moons | Tagged: Minkstar (PineClan)

Rookstar shared a look with his former mate as he let her lead the group they'd brought to the Gathering. He shouldered his way towards the group of leaders, his head held high as he avoided those he'd spoken to at previous Gatherings. Not wanting to be rude, he did offer them greetings and well-wishes, but he looked for an unfamiliar leader so as to show that he was always willing to seek new allies. One molly was smiling and surveying the crowd, so Rookstar tentatively took a seat next to her. "It seems to grow each time I come," he meowed, noticing her eyes darting across the crowd as if in search of pelts she couldn't quite find. He wrapped his tail around his paws, not noticing that he was practically mimicking her stance now, and he turned to make eye contact with her and greet her. "Rookstar of ChessClan," he meowed simply.

CHASMSTAR | Dame | Molly | 43 moons | Tagged: Morningstar (RyeClan)

Chasmstar roughly pushed Rookstar to the side as she led the charge into the Gathering, her Clan fanning out behind her and dashing to familiar and unfamiliar faces alike. Chasmstar snorted as she watched Richterscreech bolt to a molly with joy. That tom, she thought, turning towards the leaders and spotting a very happy molly. "You seem eager to be here," she meowed, her voice gentle. She knew when to control her temper, and she didn't want to drive away a new cat so immediately. Her issues with a specific cat a few Gatherings ago tickled at the back of her mind, but she quickly smothered them. She wouldn't go seeking fights this time, that was for sure. "I'm Chasmstar, Dame of ChessClan. I don't think we've spoken, but I believe I've seen you in passing at previous Gatherings," she introduced, hoping to strike up a conversation with the stranger.

RICHTERSCREECH | Tour | Tom | 62 moons | Tagged: Open

Richterscreech flinched visibly as he watched how Chasmstar and Rookstar treated each other, wondering what had happened to create such a rift from the once happy couple. It was becoming more well-known that they had broken off their mateship, but no cat dared speak of it. Chasmstar's temper was well-known, and it was in every cat's best interest to stay on her good side.

WOLFWHISKERS | Fou | Tom | 67 moons | Tagged: Tealeaf (CocoaClan)

Wolfwhiskers curled his nose in disgust as the entire Clan broke off to greet others. He didn't expect Emberspark to be there this Gathering, even if he wanted to see her, so he dove into the group of medicine cats. One brown and white tabby seemed to radiate confidence, and Wolfwhiskers smirked to himself as he approached her. He looked her up and down before closing the gap and introducing himself. "Wolfwhiskers, Fou of ChessClan," he meowed, the greeting sliding off his tongue delicately. He wouldn't snap at this cat, he chanted silently to himself. He knew he wasn't the nicest tom, but Faonpaw had spent plenty of time encouraging him to be a tad more friendly. That molly had strolled into his den and changed everything, including himself. He didn't mind it though, almost seeing her as a daughter for how much they cared for each other. She was the only one who could handle even the snarkiest of his moods, and he was thankful for that. His next apprenti might not be such a good fit, so he needed to listen to her advice.

CRÉCERELLEFLIGHT | Cavalier | Tom | 54 moons | Tagged: Morasspounce (SloughClan), Keylime (CocoaClan)

The simplicity of the sky pulled at Crécerelleflight's heartstrings. The stars were no longer in the familiar position he could recognize at a heartbeat, and he slowly spun in circles to try and figure out their mysterious new alignment. If anything, it sorely reminded him of how far from home he truly was. He slowly padded into the Gathering, eyes searched for only two specific pelts. He couldn't help but smile when he spotted Morasspounce's familiar green pelt and Keylime's equally recognizable blue one. His tail curled above his spine in greeting as he could see Morasspounce drop from her hind legs to greet Keylime. They hadn't seen him in the past Gathering or two, and it was a welcome sight. "Morasspounce! Keylime!" Crécerelleflight rushed towards the two, a purr ripped thoughtlessly from his throat. "It's so good to see both of you!" he grinned, eyes quickly darting across his own pelt to ensure he wasn't messy or muddy. The trek to the Gathering was always one that left him battered and bruised, and he always hated appearing that way in front of the other Clans.

OISEAUDAPPLE | Cavalier | Tom | 16 moons | Tagged: Quakestone (Highgarden)

Oiseaudapple took a gentle step into the Gathering as he looked around, nervous to not have Sopranocavern or Violindapple at his side. His throat closed at the thought of his sister in ÉtoileClan, but he knew she was always watching over him. He missed her fiercely, and he only hoped to chase away the sorrow. He slid to a stop as a familiar pelt reached his line of vision, and he scurried towards Quakestone. "Quakestone? Is that you?" he meowed, realizing how long it had been since he had seen her.

briarstar led her chosen cats to the gathering, glancing around before nodding to the cats behind her, and smiling at her kit, snowballpaw. she then walked over to the leader’s area, and sat down on the rock.

frosteyes, tom, deputy, tags; cicadaskip, chaosclan
the voice had surprised the tom, causing him to puff up slightly. he calmed himself down with a sigh, and then glanced at the she-cat who had alerted him. “hello, cicadaskip, correct?” he paused, nodding as she had done, “I’m frosteyes of snowclan.”

glimpsebark, she-cat, medicine cat, tags; amberpool, viridian court
the medicine cat didn’t want to go to the gathering, but was required to as she was the only medicine cat of snowclan, so no one else could go for her. she padded over slowly to her usual place, and here all the medicine cats usually hung out. she tried a smile and then glanced at a cat, saying, “hello.”

snowballpaw, nb, apprentice, tags; aulandrapaw, cascadeclan
“never heard of a guava.” they then paused, “mossball is a game that kits play, you pass the ball back in forth. it’s fun, but so much better with snow, cause then it can get in your face!” snowballpaw smiled softly.

seapaw, she-cat, apprentice, tags; squirrelpaw, fuzzypaw, both ryeclan
“uh...” seapaw gulped, taken aback, “hi. I’m seapaw of snowclan.” her first instinct was to turn around and leave, but she stayed, looking back at her friend, who was obviously very good at conversation. she glanced at the two other apprentices with a sideways smile.

wolfsnarl arrived with his party of cats behind him. the king had been hesitant to attend the event considering pinewatch was just beginning to rebuild, but hawkstorm managed to convince him that this was a good idea. he watched as hawkstorm excitedly bounced off to go meet other cats, while laketalon and yewclaw stayed fairly close to wolfsnarl.
hawkstorm|hunter|tom|sparrowflutter (highgarden)
"ah thank you." hawkstorm replied in regards to the compliment about his fur. most of the cats in pinewatch had longer fur, it was much better at protecting from the usual cold weather in the pine forest, although the fur was somewhat of a nuisance in the hotter moons. "i'm from pinewatch, it's a small kingdom in the pine forest. there isn't much of us yet, but our king is trying to rebuild." he said proudly.

yewclaw|soldier|tom|coypond (moonclan)
yewclaw noticed a cat approaching him he glanced at her, his expression barely changing, it normally isn't a shock to cats who knew him as this was his constant state, but others may find him to be rude or aggressive on first impressions. he let out a soft laugh at the she-cat's comment. "i'm not the biggest fan of large gatherings of cats." he sighed. "i am yewclaw, solider of pinewatch. and you are?"

KeyClan
(I can bring more cats, if anyone needs someone to talk to! Here's a link to my last post; feel free to either dm me or just tag one of them at random. As long as you mention KeyClan, I'll find it!)

❧Cypressstar || Ringmaster || ♂ || 69 Moons || longhaired solid black tom with amber eyes, blink in the right || Tagged: open for other leaders
paraThe large tom heads into the gathering with his head held high, ears perked to try and catch the sound of any familiar cats talking. He's always open to meet new cats, but there's something comforting about meeting back up with old friends at these gatherings.

❧Swiftwind || Trapeze Artist || ♂ || 84 Moons || blue somali with one blind golden eye and facial scars || Tagged: open for other deputies
paraThe old trapeze artist trails softly behind Cypressstar, his paws carrying him along the familiar path to where the deputies usually sit. Doing his best to keep his posture calm and relaxed, he doesn't even notice as he trails further away from Cypressstar as the ringmaster splits off in a different direction,

❧Ceriseberry || Tamer || ♀ || 26 Moons || mediumhaired red classic tabby with green eyes || Tagged: open for other medicine cats
paraThe little tabby bounds into the gathering excitedly, eyes wide and a small smile plastered on her muzzle. She's come to a few with Weasel or Pollen, but this is her first time coming as the only tamer representative.

❧Pantscat || Acrobat || ♀ || 47 Moons || solid cream & chocolate chimera with amber eyes || Tagged: Claw That Tear the Sand [Court of the Butterflies]
paraThe strange chimera practically trips over her own paws as she enters the gathering, her breath coming to a stuttering stop as she stares out at the sea of cats. Her new home is large, but usually the members are not all gathered in one space such as this. "Rompo,,," she softly breathes, before bounding into the crowd, only to trip into a strange, pale cream cat with a yelp.

paraSnickersnee picks their steps carefully as they enter the gathering area, looking around slowly and ignoring their clanmates as they try to spot their only remaining mate among the crowd. They're not too sure if the news had gotten to Cocoagleam yet, but they had received it from Ruststeak the other day. The young acrobat had gone on a short trip to the Celestial Beings to visit his mate, and came back with the sad news that her brother and a few other cats had died. One of them being Birchglow, the third mate in Snickersnee's little poly relationship that they'd settled into.
paraSnapping back into reality, Snickersnee's entire body heaves with the weight of their sigh as they realize their paws carried them to Cocoagleam of their own accord. They bound forward the last few steps, their purr practically pouring from their partially opened mouth as they press close against their mate with a soft "hey," as their greeting.
