those attending; briarstar, frosteyes, glimpsebark, snowballpaw, seapaw, wavecall, wispwillow, ellisstorm, palerose

briarstar, she-cat, leader, tags; open
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
snowballpaw smiled. their first gathering, and they were already making friends! “yes please!” the snowclan apprentice mewed happily, “and I think I like the sound of a guava!” they’re fur bounced up and down with their body, “do you like all the storms in your clan?”

seapaw, she-cat, apprentice, tags; squirrelpaw, fuzzypaw, both ryeclan
seapaw stepped backwards when the other apprentice tried to touch noses. “uh, sorry but I don’t know you that well and uh, that’s kinda reserved for really formal things or personal things in my clan? sorry again.” she stopped after saying the previous sentence really, really fast. “and yeah, snowclan is cold. it snows a lot, but the snow is nice.”

wavecall, tom, warrior, tags; clovermouse, duckclan
“I’m..” wavecall frowned. he knew he was supposed to put up a good facade, but he just wasn’t.. fine.. he was horrible. “I’m ok. the clans going through a rough time, but we’re ok, we’re all ok.”

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: Wolfsnarl [Pinewatch]
paraChuckling, Cypresstar settles down beside him, turning his head fully to face him with a kind smile. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Wolfsnarl. I'm Cypressstar, ringmaster of KeyClan." King, huh? That's a new one.

❧Swiftwind || Trapeze Artist || ♂ || 84 Moons || blue somali with one blind golden eye and facial scars || Tagged: Richterscreech [ChessClan]

paraThe panic in the other's voice has Swiftwind wheezing out another laugh, and he shakes his head fondly before turning in his direction, an gentle smile on his muzzle. "Don't worry, I'm not offended. It was almost nice to be treated like a normal cat again." the last bit is mostly said as a joke, because he does still get treated like a regular cat by a good portion of his Clan, but he can't help but pull at this tom's tail a bit.

❧Ceriseberry || Tamer || ♀ || 26 Moons || mediumhaired red classic tabby with green eyes || Tagged: Snowpetal [MoonClan]
paraCeriseberry nods along to everything the healer says, tail swaying absently. "Yeah! The Cirque is pretty amusing to talk to; it's nice, getting to meet some of the cats that died before I ever got to join KeyClan." She doesn't mention the Freakshow as well, but it's a near thing. Some of them have rather interesting stories too, but Weasel has told her not to talk about them. Though, "Ah! Medicine Cats! That's the word! I couldn't remember it."

❧Skullbash || Acrobat || ♂ || 61 Moons || shorthaired black tabby with low white and pale green eyes || Tagged: Hayblast [ShoreClan]

paraSnorting in amusement, Skullbash beams back at her and settle down next to her, his paws shuffling a little as he gets comfortable. "Hey yourself, pretty cat!" He then laughs at his own words, eyes scrunching shut with the force of it. Bumping their shoulders together, he offers her a softer, more kind smile this time. "Nice to meetcha, Hayblast! I'm Skullbash, we almost have matching names!"

❧Pantscat || Acrobat || ♀ || 47 Moons || solid cream & chocolate chimera with amber eyes || Tagged: Claw That Tear the Sand [Court of the Butterflies]

paraShe nodded absently as they spoke, and slowly lifted her head out of the tilted position she had had it in. "Nice meet you, Sandclaw! Rompo is Pantscat, rompo!" She chirps out the second rompo without really meaning to, rolling her shoulders back as she sits up a bit higher. The longer name sounds fun, but she wouldn't be able to say it properly, so she didn't even bother with it.

❧Snickersnee || Acrobat || ☿️ || 46 Moons || ruddy somali with amber eyes || Tagged: Cocoagleam [SloughClan]
paraWhen Cocoagleam stumbles away, Snickersnee more or less falls to the ground, curling in on themselves for a few agonizing seconds of silence. Then they let out another heaving breath, the tail end of a sob faintly heard at the end of it. "He- there was a rogue attack, and- Ruststreak's mate said her brother didn't make it, and neither did-" They come to a choking end, and drops their face onto the ground, muffling their pained whine into the dirt between their paws.

[tigerclaw]

⸙ ▬ PUDDLECLAN
attending ▬ loudstar, minkthroat, craneheart,
hailtalon, hurricanedrift, blizzarchrip, dipperpaw

⸙ ─ loudstar
── leader, nb, 41m // tags: @ open to other high ranks
Loudstar lead their clanmates into the large clearing, saying a small farewell to each as the group slowly disbanded. After the last of her clanmates had trotted away, the leader found a small secluded spot and sat down.

⸙ ─ minkthroat
── medicine cat, f, 43m // tags: @ open to other high ranks
Minkthroat padded through the clearing, looking for another cat to chat with.

⸙ ─ craneheart
── warrior, m, 64m // tags: @ open
Craneheart curiously watched the other cats from the edges of the clearing.

── warrior, m, 35m // tags: @ open
Hailtalon excitedly padded into the clearing, eager to make conversation with new cats.

⸙ ─ hurricanedrift
── warrior, f, 12m // tags: @ open
Hurricanedrift stalked into the clear, side-by-side with Blizzardchrip. The two mollies walked with each other for a while before Hurricanedrift broke away from her. The warrior trotted into the clearing, her head held high.

⸙ ─ blizzardchrip
── warrior, f, 12m // tags: @ open
After splitting off from her sister, the white warrior found a peaceful spot away from the mass of cats and sat down.

⸙ ─ dipperpaw
── apprentice, nb, 11m // tags: @ open
Dipperpaw slowly made her way through the gathered cats, looking for a cat her age to talk to.

[LooneyLani]

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾Moonclan☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

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

Stoneburr - wise one - 91 moons - male - tags; foxtrot, shade cast by falling snow [court of butterflies]
*with Foxtrot*

Foxtrot - wise one - 89 moons - male - tags; stoneburr, shade cast by falling snow [court of butterflies]
The large ginger & white tabby kept the gentle smile on his face as the younger tom spoke, tail curling to entwine with his mate’s as he listened closely to the other’s words. ”Oh, wow! Your name is beautiful”! Foxtrot’s eyes were wide in their genuine wonder, turning to nudge his mate as if the tom hadn’t heard the entire exchange. He turned back to Snowshade and leaned closer an inch, voice softening as he spoke to the still noticeably nervous youngster ”Well, we probably aren’t the liveliest company for a youngster anymore, but we’d be happy to keep you company if you don’t mind!”

Snowpetal - healer - 26 moons - female - tags; ceriseberry [keyclan]
Snowpetal's smile became a little more sad at the other's excitement of communing with the deceased, the white pelted healer had been holding off on speaking with their stars for awhile now, the fear of the familiar faces she would see after the horrific battle this past moon; Blossomspeck, her mother, and her sister, to name but a few. Snowpetal seemed to try and shake herself out of it, eyes turning back to the red-furred molly and nodding in slight amusement, "Yes, I myself forget quite a lot of things unfortunately. My mentor had a tough time with me", Snowpetal shared a soft laugh at the memories of her training days, though truthfully in the life of a healer it felt eachday you learned something new.[/b]

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 tabby warrior definitely wasn't expecting to enjoy the gathering as much as he found himself enjoying it now, seated beside a new companion with a constant smile and laughter shared, it was definitely shaping up to be a favourite of his. Quailjaw couldn't contain the rumble of amusement as Shoreabranch spoke of her encounter, head shaking in humoured disbelief. "Well, I'm certainly glad to be of better company than a tail-eating quail." Quailjaw couldn't help but to lean closer to the grey & white molly, amusement lacing his tone and twitching his whiskers "Though I must say, you're quite the brave feline; taking on such a mighty foe, I'm truly impressed".

Coypond - hunter - 26 moons - female - tags; yewclaw [pinewatch]
The young hunter listened carefully as her new companion spoke of his home, whiskers twitching in her surprise to hear their numbers were small. It felt like since the moment Coypond had been just a young kit the caves were always bustling with bodies and filled with countless murmurs. She released an amused huff as her eyes flicked around the clearing, oh yes, it was definitely nice to come so far to stretch her legs, to be around others who knew not of their home in the mountains. Coypond drew her attention back to the grey tom, a small sigh sounding from the calico as she shifted slightly, wondering what to tell the older. "Hmm, well we reside in a cave system high up in the mountains, so it's pretty much always cold. The entrance is covered by a tumbling waterfall, which sounds noisy but it's actually quite calming. Our forests are too dense for the sun so we don't get to spend much time sunbathing", again the molly's smile twitched with amusement as she spoke of home, though her eyes held the new kind of pain she was sure could be found in all of her clanmates these days. "We mostly sleep through the daytime, and come up when the stars are highest in the sky. I think that's why we get our name; Moonclan".

Daisypaw - to be warrior - 12 moons - female - tags; mintpaw [duckclan]
Daisypaw couldn't help but to laugh as the other to-be spoke of her mentor, the older couldn't imagine what Bramblesky would have said had she begun talking about him in such a way. It was definitely amusing to hear. "I would love to talk to you, Mintpaw, if it wouldn't be a bother", Daisypaw sent the molly a gentle smile as she swept her tail over the ground to seemingly clear any fallen twigs, settling herself down where the two stood.[/b]

Wrenpaw - to be hunter - 12 moons - male - tags; maplesyrup [cocoaclan]

The young soon-to-be hunter had done well so far, keeping to himself after his sister had left his side, straying to the outskirts of gathered cats where he could find comfort in a quieter space. It seemed, however, the stars held a different plan for the young tom. A surprised yelp sounded from Wrenpaw as his white paw caught on the root of a tree, sending the tom flying forwards and right into another feline having sat between the roots of the same tree. Wrenpaw felt his pelt grow hot as he scrambled to his paws, worried golden eyes scanning the tabby tom he'd sent falling to the ground. "Oh! I'm so sorry! Are you hurt"?

SLOUGHCLAN
cats attending:
moonblossom, poppypool, oreganopaw, morasspounce, cocoagleam, parsleybound, sussurusbounce, lemongrass

Moonblossom tags: Altasrain [Chaosclan]
Deputy | She-cat | 41 moons

Sighing as she padded into the gathering which was yet another without her leader. Sitting more toward the edge of the group this time around. Not really realizing she was getting lost in her thoughts tell she heard a soft voice say hello to her. Shaking her head a little with wide eyes she looked at who it came from. "Why hello there sorry I was just thinking about some things. I'm Moonblossom the Deputy of Sloughclan." she said giving a slight nod as she introduced herself.

Poppypool tags: open, other meddies prefered
Medicine Cat | She-cat | 53 moons
--to be filled--

Oreganopaw tags: open, other meddie apps prefered
Medicine Cat Apprentice | Tom | 15 moons
--to be filled--

Morasspounce tags: Crécerelleflight [Chessclan], and Keylime [Cocoaclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 51 moons

Looking curiously at Keylime as he mentioned having kits of his own. Something she didn't remember him mentioning to them before "You've got kits? What are they like?" she asked curiously. Personally, she never cared whether she had kits or not. She did enjoy playing with the ones who are apart of the clan. Though she didn't know if one day she may have kits if her mate if she was ever able to convince someone to be her mate, wanted them. Brought out of her thoughts by Keylime nuzzling her cheek with his nose. Smiling at Crécerelleflight "It's good to see the both of you too." she purred happily.

Cocoagleam tags: Snickersnee [Keyclan]
Warrior | Tom | 39 moons
At that moment he knew what they were attempting to tell him. The white time stumbled a little as he began to attempt to process what he was just told. Tears began to weld up in his eyes as he collapsed to the ground. Covering his face with his paws attempting to quiet the wails that wanted so badly to leave his body. Shaking as he laid on the ground "No no no no no...." he softly began yelling in a quiet tone as he shook his head aggressively.

Parsleybound tags: Pikeleap [Hazeclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 15 moons

The smile that was upon the young warrior's face couldn't be hidden. Bounding into the gathering with her best friend by her side. The two of them giggled with each other. Grateful to have Sussurusbounce there with her as she struggled a tad to pass her assessment but she finally did just in time for the gathering. Though she was glad to be with her friend it didn't stop her eyes from wandering in hopes to find a familiar face. One she hasn't since for quite a few moons since her last gathering in which she still was an apprentice.

Sussurusbounce tags: Diamondgaze [Hazeclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 15 moons

With a grin on her face, the young warrior bounded into the gathering with Parsleybound by her side. Glad to have her best friend with her as it was her first gathering after all. Though she was glad to be there as she was worried she may not be able to make it due to the assessment to become a warrior being a challenge for her. It loomed in her mind that maybe she wasn't fit for the role she was put into. Granted she loved being a warrior and it brought her a lot of joy, it just was very disheartening.

Lemongrass tags: Blitzjump [Tidalclan], and Fallowdust [Tidalclan]
Warrior | She-cat | 30 moons
"I'm from Sloughclan. I think we came from North West but in all honestly, I wasn't paying attention too much. I was worried and excited as this is my first time at a gathering." she said in all honesty. Though most of their trip went thru forests of ever-changing trees. Ones that she hadn't seen before left her in awe. Moonblossom kept on having to make sure she didn't get lost on her way.

VIRIDIAN COURT
cats attending:
bluebellcrown, eeltooth, amberpool, mourningdove, mushroomforest

Bluebellcrown tags: Loudstar [Puddleclan]
Queen | She-cat | 27 moons
This time round Bluebellcrown was very proud of Eeltooth. He seemed to be laxer on wanting to keep an eye on her this gathering. Expressing him to her that he wanted to interact with others of a similar rank to him. Smiling to padded up to a fellow leader taking a bow as she did so. "Hello I'm The Crowned Bluebell Queen of Viridian Court." she said as she sat down to give her body a break "You may call me Bluebellcrown though if it's easier." she mused with a slight laugh.

Eeltooth tags: Berry Scorched by Flames [Court of the Butterflies]
Duke | Tom | 29 moons
Huffing the Duke this time round was gonna attempt to speak with another of his rank. As it was actually fun though he would never admit it to anyone other than Bluebellcrown or Baywatcher. Spotting another cat that appeared to hold a similar rank such as he walked up to them. Taking a bow as he began to introduce himself "Hello I'm The Duke tooth of an eel of Viridian Court.".

Amberpool tags: open, other medicine cats prefered
Prophet | Tom | 31 moons
--to be filled--

Mourningdove tags: Barkbrush [Pillar Clan]
Knight | She-cat | 27 moons

A shocked expression came upon her face at the words that came out of their mouth. Suddenly a purr came from deep within her as she pressed close to them. Licking their face gently "I like you a lot too. Every time I get picked to come to a gather I hope I will get to see you..." she trailed off at the end blushing. Her heart was racing as she never fully admitted that to anyone other than Baywatcher. He kept telling her that she should share her feelings with Barkbrush because to him she was clearly in love with the fellow cat. Though she never had been in love before she trusted her friend due to him being in a relationship that she could tell he cared deeply for. Which she knew was similar to how she felt about the cat she was next to now.

Mushroomforest tags: Sugarbreeze [Shoreclan], Forestpaw [Shoreclan], and Oysterpaw [Shoreclan]
Knight | Enby [they/them] | 31 moons

To their shock, the group began to approach them so they attempted to act like they weren't studying them. Though they took note that one of the apprentices was staying rather close to Sugarbreeze. WIth her tail constantly touching them as if to lead them. That's when they noticed that their eyes looked rather strange. Not in a bad way, but they assumed that the apprentice was blind. They cleared their throat as they listened to their old mate address them. "Ahem, yeah what is it Sugarbreeze?" they questioned keeping their eyes fixed on the calico now. Shuffling their paws as they waited for her to tell them what is up.

ChaosClan

cat name -- age -- gender -- rank -- tagged: open

Songbirdstar -- 82 moons -- she-cat -- leader -- tagged: open
She hadn’t been to a gathering in quite some time, choosing to send Raptorstar in her stead. But the truth was, she was getting old. Her singular life left was enough to tell her that. Songbirdstar sat down in the middle of the leaders, waiting to see who she could strike up a friendship with, maybe even become allies with. StarClan knows ChaosClan might need some allies...

Atlasrain -- 62 moons -- tom -- deputy -- tagged: Moonblossom (SloughClan: bsktcase)
He was only here because Raptorstar wanted him to be. He still found himself increasingly nervous, staying on the edge as his clan mates filtered further into the thick of the cats. Instead of waiting for someone to interact with him, he decided to strike up a conversation first. “Er... hello,” he whispered softly, wincing and unsure that the other cat would even hear him.

Cicadaskip-- 27 moons -- she-cat -- deputy -- tagged: Frosteyes (SnowClan: beebun)
Cicadaskip gave a tentative smile to the other deputy, nodding her head again in affirmation. “ChaosClan is glad for good weather for our travels here. I take it SnowClan sees a lot of snow?” She asked the question genuinely, knowing some clan names could be deceiving.

Sunflicker -- 38 moons -- tom -- medicine cat -- tagged: open
Sunflicker was wandering around, waiting for someone to interact with. He didn’t quite feel like settling down to sit just yet, not unless he found someone to talk to.

Kitepaw -- 6 moons -- she-cat -- medicine cat apprentice -- tagged: Silverstar (CascadeClan: bmkmb)
Kitepaw’s eyes widened in both admiration and intimidation, though she had to admit it was mostly the former. A leader! “Wow,” the cat breathed. “A leader, that’s so awesome! My brother Charkit- I mean Charpaw- really wants to be leader one day! He says it’s a lot of work but a lot of fun! Do you have fun?”

Graystone -- 27 moons -- tom -- hunter -- tagged: open
He was never a fan of crowds, and found himself waiting on the outskirts. Graystone laid on the soft grass, grateful that the arrival of Newleaf meant the snow was melting and the grass was warm once again.

Cobrashade -- 21 moons -- tom -- scout -- tagged: Yewberry (MoonClan: LooneyLani)
Cobrashade let a smirk play across his face, glad that he had gotten attention. “Greetings,” the Tom said, folding his tail around his paws in a gesture of relaxation and friendliness. “The names Cobrashade, from a clan called ChaosClan. Pleasure to meet you as well. Did you have a far travel?”

Juniperglow -- 18 moons -- she-cat -- scout -- tagged: Primrosebriar (Highgarden: eagle)
Juniperglow’s smile grew as another she-cat approached her, and she felt herself relax more. “Hi Primrosebriar,” she said softly, settling down into the grass. “I’m Juniperglow, a scout of ChaosClan. I haven’t been a clan cat for very many moons yet, and this is my first gathering too.” Juniperglow paused to look around, taking note of the sheer number of cats. “There are quite a few cats around,” she admitted. “Makes me a bit nervous too, especially since I’m used to being on my own until recently.”

Ivypaw -- 6 moons -- she-cat -- apprentice -- tagged: open
Ivypaw stayed with Charpaw for the most part, her wide eyes betraying the fear she felt at being around so many unfamiliar cats. Yet these cats all had their own stories to hear, and she could share hers... Ivypaw trembled slightly, though not fully from fear. She had to admit she was happy to be here, to hopefully make a friend or two... or more.

Charpaw -- 6 moons -- tom -- apprentice -- tagged: open
The young tom glanced sideways at his counterpart, hoping she would gain the confidence to go off on her own. Charpaw was ready to get to know others, and held his head high as he sat down and looked around for someone else to talk to.

_____________________________________________________________________

Nox Invictus

Fluffy -- 25 moons -- she-cat -- leader -- tagged: open
Another moon, another gathering. Things had been going well on the farm, and Fluffy was looking forward to gaining new relationships.

Honeycrisp -- 24 moons -- she-cat -- medicine cat -- tagged: open
The smell of herbs sent Honeycrisp to a group of other cats she presumed to be medicine cats. She didn’t break into any existing conversations, waiting to see who else might arrive.

Viridian -- 22 moons -- she-cat -- warrior -- tagged: open
The newest warrior of Nox Invictus walked around groups of cats, not quite sure if she should sit and wait or not. Better to keep herself busy, she always thought.

Newt -- 16 moons -- non-binary (they/them) -- warrior -- tagged: open
They were nervous of others. Always had been, always would. Newt closed their eyes, feeling the ground beneath their paws as they stood still on the grass, hoping they could will themselves away from here. Why did Fluffy have to make them come?

PINECLAN
cats attending [high ranks]: minkstar, ratnose, cloudtongue, penstemonpaw
cats attending [other] [2/10]: wheatcloud, duckfoot

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[ minkstar | leader | 90m | she/her | tags: rookstar (chessclan) ]
"Just the same, really! Me and my deputy Ratnose often have to work together to send everyone on patrol most nights." Minkstar replied, finding relief in the fact that hers wasn't the only Clan that sent out double the patrols to keep every mouth fed. "Sometimes I can't believe how small PineClan used to be when I was a warrior compared to how much it's grown now. Have you ever felt the same?"

[ ratnose | deputy | 63m | he/him | tags: astylumpaw (cascadeclan) ]
Ratnose decidedly chose to keep to the other high ranking cats as he didn't see any familiar faces when he entered the hollow. The deputy kept a casual pace as he walked, returning other passerby's greetings with a smile. However, he was taken a bit by surprise when he felt someone barely dodge bumping into him, whiskers twitching as he turned to face the other cat. Ratnose calmed significantly when he saw that it was a much younger cat - almost as small as the young apprentices at home. Shaking his head to show no harm done, "It happens. Ratnose of PineClan, pleasure to meet you." he responded. "Are you alright? It's not often a young cat like you comes around here." Ratnose added, eyebrows knitting in concern.

[ cloudtongue | medicine cat | 22m | he/him | tags: solsticestand (highgarden) ]
Cloudtongue knew that Penstemonpaw was going to be fine on her own - the gathering was meant as neutral ground for everyone, but he still worried for his new apprentice regardless. He supposed it came from the worry of her being his first apprentice, and tonight being his own first gathering without his mentor or seniors with him. Weaselstorm and Shadeleaf stayed home for the sake of Frostflower and Maplenose who were both close to kitting and Poppynose stayed behind as a set of extra paws, so he was PineClan's sole medicine cat representative. An honor, sure, but daunting for his young age.

Already noticing a black tabby out of the corner of his eye, Cloudtongue turned to face the new cat, his deep blue eyes blinking owlishly as she introduced herself. A smile twitched at his lips when she introduced herself as a Highgarden cat, unable to hide that he was excited to meet a cat from a group he was somewhat familiar with through name alone. "I don't mind at all." He responded with a reassuring purr, scooting over to give Solsticestand some space. "And it's nice to meet you, I'm Cloudtongue. This is my first gathering alone as a full medicine cat too."

[ penstemonpaw | med app | 10m | she/her | tags: pepperpaw (cocoaclan) ]
Penstemonpaw could gradually feel her nerves melt as she followed the other apprentice, her fluffy tail held high as she padded curiously behind her until they reached a more secluded place. "Oh, it's perfect." She remarked after Pepperpaw showcased it, peering into the makeshift cave. "And I wish I had that ability, PineClan's nice, but it can get way too crowded." She said, face screwing up into a grumpy frown before it vanished. "After you? Maybe we can talk about medicine cat stuff, I trained as a warrior before, so I'm kind of a new apprentice too."

[ wheatcloud | warrior | 39m | she/her | tags: cloudynight (hazeclan) ]
Wheatcloud trotted into the hollow, her golden tail streaming behind her as it waved in barely contained excitement as she tried to spot any sign of HazeClan's attendance for the Newleaf gathering. Mostly she was eager to reunite with her mate - HazeClan's own medicine cat, Cloudynight. It'd been several moons since she last saw him and their son and was eager to see how they were both doing.

[ duckfoot | 110m | he/him | tags: sun's guiding light (court of the butterflies) ]
It filled Duckfoot with nostalgia to be walking among the gathering crowd after many moons, and if he closed his eyes, he could see himself young with his mate Mintsun at his side. Alas, StarClan couldn't stop the flow of time, and if his age didn't help him realize how much things have changed from his youth, then the unique variety of cats and the sheer number of attendees did. Duckfoot also noticed that the general neutrality among all cats hadn't changed at all, as evident by the young colorpoint who freely introduced herself to him. "Good to meet you, Sun's Guiding Light." He mewed, his voice testing the sound of her lengthy name on his tongue. "I'm Duckfoot, of PineClan. Are you a new Clan? I've never heard of your names before, but I suppose everything is new to an old-timer like me." He added, chuckling toward the end.

HIGHGARDEN

birchflame: king, tom, he/him, 68m. tags: pizzastar - cococlan
indentbirchflame sat up even taller when a pretty orange and while molly approached him, though her wide smile brought warmth to his eyes. his own smile came easily when she purred and introduced herself. "it is a lovely gathering, to be sure. i'm glad to see so many clans here tonight, it's always a great occasion. my name's birchflame. i'm highgarden's king, and currently filling in as its active leader when our queen, tawnyrose, is taking care of our young kits." at the mention of his family, birchflame's eyes glowed with joy and pride before he tipped his head curiously to one side. "you'll have to excuse me if this is rude but... pizzastar... what is pizza? i don't think i've ever encountered a 'pizza' before."

merlinsong: herbalist, tom, he/him, 74m. tags: langsat - cascadeclan
indent"i would never call myself wise," merlinsong admitted. "in fact, i've been called a fool for most of my moons, and i'd embrace being a fool any day if it meant that i didn't have to watch another patient suffer. but... let me tell you a brief story about the first accident we had in highgarden." merlinsong drew in a deep breath before he began again, considering the other medicine cat for a long, weighted moment. "at the time, one of our young warriors, smokemane, was out on patrol. she hadn't been a full warrior for longer than a few moons. it was back was highgarden was young and we told ourselves that we were untouchable. well, the patrol got lost in a snow storm, and smokemane slipped on a patch of ice, and she landed so poorly that she was knocked out, bleeding, and the patrol just barely managed to bring her back. when she woke up, the poor dear was wobbly and could barely walk, let alone fight or hunt. it took a long time for her to relearn how to walk around the camp." the memory wasn't a happy one, and merlinsong took in another deep breath. "i really, genuinely, thought that i had lost her that night. i thought she was going to die. but now she's back to hunting and patrolling with the rest, despite any wobble in her step. i've seen so much death over the moons, but it's the things like that... the moments when it's worth all of the pain, that i've been able to cope and continue to find hope."

solsticestand: herbalist, molly, she/her, 22m. tags: cloudtongue - pineclan
indent"thank you," solsticestand purred gratefully when the white tom moved over and offered her a place to sit. with another smile shot in his direction, solsticestand allowed herself one last look over her shoulder, to check and see if merlinsong or her sister were nearby, before she sat down. "i wouldn't say that i'm alone, necessarily, but my sister has a tendency to strike out on her own, and my former-mentor... well, he's always been a bit of a wandered, from what i've been told. he doesn't like to sit still. so i'm sure you can imagine that training with him with so much fun," she said with a smile. "where are you from? i don't think i've ever seen you around before."

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
indent"pinewatch is a lovely name for a clan," sparrowflutter said with a purr. "and i can't believe that you come from a kingdom, too. what are the odds? my clan - we're called highgarden - we're a kingdom as well. we have a king and a queen, but everyone knows that our queen is our leader, and tawnyrose is very amazing." as she spoke of her home, sparrowflutter's tail flicked eagerly and her tone became energetic, light with joy. "i'm sure your king is amazing as well. it's so great to meet another cat from a kingdom, there really aren't so many of us, now that i come to think of it. at the very least, not compared to the clans."

quakestone: rose, molly, she/her. tags: oiseaudapple - chessclan
indentwhile the rest of the highgarden parol melted seamlessly into the gathering, quakestone preferred to stand on the edge and watch, a slight smile curving her maw. it wasn't her first gathering, but she felt particularly wistful in that moment, thinking back to her first gathering, and the reason that she kept returning. as if by a sign from the gods, a familiar voice called out to her, and quakestone turned before she could properly formulate a thought. still, her smile was immediate, and she stepped forward eagerly to meet her friend halfway. "oiseaupaw?" she said, though it wasn't a question. she leaned forward, touching her nose gently against her friend's. "i can't believe you're here, it's great to see you again! i was hoping chessclan would come."

primrosebriar: rose, molly, she/her, 17m. tags: juniperglow - chaosclan
indentprimrosebriar was immediately thankful when the stranger, juniperglow, returned her greeting. without hesitating any further, the highgarden molly settled down next to the chaosclan warrior, and she followed her gaze around to the rest of the gathering. "it really is a lot of cats, that's for sure. i mean, highgarden certainly has a lot of cats in it as well, but with so many new faces... it's very hard to concentrate much at all," she agreed with an easy bob of her head. "if you don't mind my asking, i'm rather curious - were you a loner before you joined chaosclan? i was born into highgarden, i've never really been outside of our territory much. i'm sure you have a lot of amazing stories."

"Nice to meet you, Chamstar!" Morningstar tried to hide her keenness to talk to the other leader. "I'm Morningstar, matron of RyeClan." She dipped her head respectfully.

"I've been to a couple of gatherings now, yes. Not much to speak on, I've been more of an observer than an interactor." She tilted her head slightly. "How have things been for you, if I may ask?"



✦ cottonwhisker ──────────── he/him
guard leader 81m ♂ - T: open


Cottonwhisker flicked his ear as he gazed around at the entirely-too-large group of cats. Why did he come again?



✦ lemonfuzz ──────────── he/they
guard 20m ø - T: chambredancer / cascadeclan


Lemonfuzz shook their head slightly in an attempt to rid themself of the embarrassment. He cleared his throat, "So... do you have kits? What are they like? I will admit my excitement is almost overwhelmed by my nervousness."



✦ squirrelpaw ──────────── he/him
apprentice 10m ♂ - T: seapaw / snowclan
Fuzzypaw didn't seem bothered in the slightest at Seapaw's rejection. "It's really snowy in our clan right now too! We've moved the whole camp into the barn, we can't really cope with the cold."

Squirrelpaw nodded enthusiastically, "you're so strong to live in such a cold place! That's cool!"

Fuzzypaw giggled. "Cool, get it?"
