The calico she cat smiled. “Ah, I love the smell of lavender. It’s very sweet and a welcome change. Myself and the other medicine cat seem to be finding a lot of fennel and thankfully, chickweed!” She rested herself down on her paws, like a loaf. “Things are running smoothly in chaosclan?” She asked inquisitively.

Grapevine | Tom | Warrior | Broken
Grapevine’s curled ears twitched slightly when the she cat nuzzles her head against him. He wasn’t used to any kind of affection from cats other than his sister, although, he didn’t mind it one bit. “Yeah, I suppose you’re right. If you grew up there you would be used to it huh?” He gazed down at her warmly. “I was born outside my clan, but I was brought to my father, Oakstar, before my eyes even opened. So I’ve really known nothing but the meadow. I do enjoy the moderate weather, except the wind. The grass in the meadow is sharp when it whips against you. I’m glad my fur is longer to protect me from that!” He considered what he should ask her, the tom didn’t want to only talk about himself. “What is your favorite part about the desert?” Grapevine brushed his tail against the she cat.

Honey | Molly | Queen (leader) | Meteorfall
Honey’s bright green eyes sparkled. “Pleasure to meet you Meteorfall.” She dipped her head slightly before continuing, “I am going to take a guess that a light guide is quite similar to the title of Queen?” She inquired. “I’ve found it quite tricky to grasp how each band of cats ranks work.” The light cat gave a small mrow, in amusement. “I must say as well, your eyes are quite gorgeous!”

“I’d say your sister was quite smart with that assessment! I remember my first gathering, last moons. I couldn’t believe the amount of cats that gathered together just to share news and meet up with friends. The Royal Court had never been before, so none of us knew what to expect.” Bamboo realized he wasn’t letting the other tom speak and paused. “What has been the most exciting thing you’ve seen so far?”

Bamboo tilted his head when the other apprentice mentioned how strange the words his court used. The tabby tom hadn’t known a life outside of the court. “Well, we hunt and protect our Court! We always have a guard patrol on duty to notify us if a nofur is wandering around the castle, it’s rare but it does happen!”

The small male felt puzzled about how to explain the rankings of the court. Last gathering he hadn’t talked to another cat, so he wasn’t sure what other bands of cats called their members. “Well, I suppose I’ll start at the top! Our King and Queen are our leaders, they guide us on what to do and when. Our princes and princesses are the second in command. Our physician heals us when we have sickness or injuries. Knights serve to protect and feed. Dukes and Duchesses are in training to become knights, we train separately. Empresses are mothers, raising kits or about to have kits! Earls and Countesses are kits! Finally Barons and Baronesses are the retired cats, luckily we don’t have any yet! We’re all young still.” Bamboo paused, “er, sorry. That was probably just a whole lotta word vomit. Sorry. What are your clans rankings like?”

isopodstar - male - 45m - leader - tags; petalstar (cavernclan)

Isopodstar's piercing gaze met another cat's. She was black and white, like him, but not an oriental. He returned the smile, his gaze slowly softening, "Nice to meet you, Petalstar. My clan, Squidclan, is rather new. This is only our second gathering." He meowed, before continuing, "My name is Isopodstar." His large ears were stiff, as if he was attempting to listen to his clanmate's conversations, but barely anything could be heard due to the loud chattering of the cats around him. "What clan are you from?" he asked the other leader.

sootblotch - nb - 31m - deputy - tags; open

Sootblotch gave a polite dip of their head before slowly padding over to the area where second-in-commands usually sat. They hoped the cat they met last gathering would be here, but they couldn't detect their scent. They looked a bit anxious and worried, fiddling with their paws. Sootblotch looked up as they felt a pair of eyes burning into their pelt and their eyes locked with Isopodstar's. The oriental turned away and Sootblotch became even more nervous. Isopodstar probably regretted making such a weak cat his second-in-command...

wrenspark - male - 57m - hunter - tags; foxflame (geminiclan)

The persian mewed, "Nice to meet you, Foxflame! I'm Wrenspark, of Squidclan." He paused before continuing, "Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could help me give some advice to my friend? Their name is Sootblotch and they're a deputy." He pointed with his tail towards a gray classic tabby who was sitting alone, "They want to be good at their job but uh, they're a tad bit anxious. So I was wondering if you could give me some advice for how to be more... deputy-ly for them?"

doefern - female - 68m - healer - tags; open

Doefern sighed and stared after Cedarspeckle as she walked away. The oriental queen constantly pushed herself even when she was due soon. She tried and failed to convince Cedarspeckle to rest- numerous times. Doefern never wanted to argue with any cat, but especially Cedarspeckle. The queen was fierce and tough, seemingly always having her guard up. Doefern gave a small sigh sat down.

newttongue - genderfluid - 22m - fighter - tags; open

Newttongue licked their lips, still tasting their prey from a few hours ago. He was a bit nervous from the absurd amount of cats, but knew that Doefern would help him if anything bad happened. She shook her fur and her nervous eyes looked around the gathering, before retreating to the outskirts of the gathering.

cedarspeckle - female - 55m - queen - tags; mottledshade + pigeonflight (caveclan)

Cedarspeckle was pleased to know that Doefern's obsession over her was shared by other healers, "That makes sense. Doefern recently joined as well, and is anxious over where to find the best herbs- she's doing well though, our herb supply is growing every moon." She mewed. "I'm excited for my kits. I hope the birthing goes well- but honestly, with Doefern's experience, I know she'll make sure it goes well." The oriental said, complimenting Doefern for once. It will probably never happen again. She looked around for a few moments before spotting Wrenspark, and pointed her tail at him "That's Wrenspark, a hunter. He definitely won't mind watching the kits. Honestly, I think he loves kits more than anyone else." She mrrowed with laughter, before turning back to the pair, "I trust my clanmates with my kits, so I'm glad to know I'll be able to leave them in their paws."

basaltswirl - female - 47m - queen - tags; brushfire (auroraclan)

Basaltswirl padded into the gathering, her eyes bright with interest. She was anxious to live her young kits behind at camp, but knew that with almost 200 cats protecting them, nothing bad could happen to him. She stiffened as she smelled a familiar scent- Brushfire, and immediately ran over to the scent. She stopped right in front of the rex, smiling brightly, "Hi Brushfire!"

Caveclan

Harespring is tagged with Agavestar (Scarabclan) and Foxglove (Chaosclan)

“I’m glad that everything is beginning to get better within both of your clans.” Harespring replied. It always did seem as though the arrival of new-leaf also brought happier times within all the clans. “Thank you. We’re all quite proud. Cloudpool will be a wonderful mentor and I know he is looking forward to mentoring.” His blue eyes softened, thinking back to how he and Sedgetail had felt right before their own warrior assessments, moons ago. “It’s a big moment in a cat’s life.” He agreed, mewing, “I’m sure your siblings will do wonderful!” The deputy’s gaze flicked back to Foxglove with a soft chuckle. “They certainly are. Laurelpaw is my second apprentice and every one of our apprentices seems to have a never ending spring of energy. I’m not quite sure how they do it!” He joked, amused. Turning to Agavestar, he purred, “Once you have the opportunity to mentor, I think you’ll like mentoring. Being able to help train and guide our young is quite fun. I like seeing how they light up once they master a skill for the first time.”

Cloudpool is tagged with Sunsetstep (Lightwalkers)

“Of course, I don’t mind the company!” Cloudpool blinked curiously, interested. “Oh! Your first as a healer? That must feel a bit odd!” He said, trying to think back to his first days as a medicine apprentice. It had been a little difficult at times perhaps, but Shadedleaf had been supportive and he couldn’t have hoped for a better mentor. He gave them a sympathetic glance and said, “Gatherings can be overwhelming but they can also be really nice.” The grey and white medicine cat told them. “I like being able to talk to the other medicine cats. You can learn a lot from them that we can’t necessarily learn from our clanmates.”

Mottledshade and Pigeonflight are tagged with Cedarspeckle (Squidclan)

“She must be worried about ensuring that everything goes well among your clan.” Mottledshade guessed. “Once she learns the best growing areas for herbs, it may be easier for her. As the queen talked, both were pleased to hear how happy she seemed among her clanmates, especially after being in such a new place for so little time. “If Squidclan is like our warriors, your kits will be in good paws.” Pigeonflight replied with a nod. “They’ll be well cared for.” With a purr of agreement, Mottledshade asked, “Do you have any ideas for names? Pigeonflight and I discussed names for moons before the birth but nothing really stuck until that moment.”

Alderpaw is tagged with Bamboo (the royal court)

“My sister Splashpaw and our denmate Robinpaw went to last moons’ gathering.” Alderpaw replied, adding, “You may have seen them but I think they interacted with different clans.” The tabby tom nodded, his eyes bright. “I know! Gatherings seem so crazy! My sister’s mentor met up with a friend from another clan we haven’t seen in a while, and many of my clanmates were buzzing with excitement. I couldn’t believe how Splashpaw told me that Tigerjaws introduced her to his friend and his daughters, who are our age!” Alderpaw told him. “The leaders are definitely the most exciting!” Alderpaw gazed up with blue eyes wide with awe towards where the clan leaders were gathered. “I wonder what it’s like being up there and being able to look over everyone. I wish I could go up there with them.” For a moment, the tabby tom was tempted but a glance towards Pigeonflight and Mottledshade gave him pause. Neither was his mentor but he knew how much trouble he’d be in, and not only with Ferretclaw, his mentor. Harespring and Morningstar would be furious.

Bamboo’s explanation of the Royal Court’s ranks made some sense, perhaps? The words were confusing but Alderpaw was able to connect them with Caveclan’s ranks with a moment of thought. “Our leaders are simply called leaders but they receive the suffix, -star, once they become leaders. My leader is Morningstar but he’s at camp so our second in command, our deputy, Harespring, represents us.” Alderpaw explained, pointing out the solid gray tom with his tail and focusing on Cloudpool. “Cloudpool is our medicine cat and he takes care of us when we’re sick or injured. Our knights are called warriors and I’m an apprentice. We train to become warriors but we all train together. That must be odd training separately! I can’t imagine being separated from my sisters like that!” Realizing he’d gotten distracted, Alderpaw continued, “Our queens work together to raise the kits and we call our retired warriors elders. We have two elders currently.”

Wrenpaw and Fernpaw are open

The other apprentices had said so much about the gatherings that Wrenpaw couldn’t help but be excited. Or perhaps he was feeding off of Alderpaw’s own excitement but either way as Wrenpaw stared at the mass of cats, nervous excitement made him hop from paw to paw with wide green eyes. “Have you ever seen so many cats?” He breathed to Fernpaw. The gray tabby blinked, her eyes just as big. “Not even Caveclan is this big.” Fernpaw told him, leaning back on her hind paws to look for Alderpaw but their denmate had wandered off, his excitement getting the better of him. “Do you think you’ll see any of your former clanmates?” Wrenpaw asked, his voice low and quiet. “I don’t know.” Fernpaw looked hesitant, unsure how to feel. “I haven’t seen any of Mistyclan since we disbanded.”

[Red weasel]

Basaltswril

Brushfires ears raised with excitement at the sound of a familiar voice. A happy trill escaped his mouth when he saw how happy she looked, if she felt well it meant things must be well.

Raggedclaw
Raggedclaw nodded as the Tom spoke. “That does sound quite convenient. We live in a cave system which can get quite chilly, but the chill is comfortable compared to colder moons.

Foxflame

Foxflame pondered the other cats words. He had always been rather confident, so it was hard to imagine the other cats struggles. Still in his mind his reputation as a deputy, at least to one clan, rode on this. “First they should find what they are best at.

Shadowsight.

Shadow looked to marblestar, then smiled at her sister sign and “ooooo mate smile “she’s my sister, and this are two of my kids “ the kids looksed at their mom, then her sister, with a look of confusion

Foxglow -- she-cat -- Deputy -- tagged: Agavestar (ScarabClan), Harespring (CaveClan)

Nodding along with Harespring's tales, she smiled. "Apprentices and training one is really an experience that can't be paralleled... I always tell all the warriors I talk to that they haven't truly experienced being a warrior until they get to train an apprentice! Especially if they're new to clans as a whole." Foxglow knew that she was going to go back to camp and ask about getting an apprentice once the oldest kits were ready. She had forgotten how it felt to be a mentor. "I've almost forgotten how to be a mentor," she sighed into the air, not expecting a reply but putting her thoughts out there anyway. "I honestly cannot wait to ask Charstar or Mockingbirdstar if I can have an apprentice once the next kits are ready," she laughed.

Scorchlight -- she-cat -- Healer -- tagged: Autumnsong [TruffleClan]

"Ah, fennel and chickweed are quite useful!" Scorchlight nodded sagely, tilting her head a bit as she thought about her own stock of either herb. "I don't think I've encountered either in our new territory..." Scorchlight drifted off her words for a second, considering Autumnsong's question. Scorchlight closed her eyes briefly, thinking of the heartache and the tragedy that she had been trying to avoid, something she never wanted to deal with again. "We had a rough last few moons," Scorchlight admitted. "We're okay now, but we ended up moving to a new territory due to an overload of alligators." The healer shuddered at the thought of the large predators. "How about TruffleClan? Are things going well?"

Ferretspike -- she-cat -- Scout -- tagged: open

Ferretspike followed her clanmates carefully, not wanting to stay on the outside of the gathering, wanting to make herself available for conversation. It was weird to be around so many cats - despite the fact that ChaosClan was a large clan, the gathering still felt intimidating. Ferretspike was still new to clan life, so used to living with herself and her small group until she was forced into running away because of rogues... Being around so many cats almost felt too much to handle. Despite her hesitations, Ferretspike puffed her chest out as she found an open spot near the middle of the crowd. She was chosen out of many many clanmates to come despite being new to the clan. Ferretspike was proud to be here, and wanted to make her new clan proud by making good relations with another cat.

Bamboolight -- tom -- Scout -- tagged: open

A smile was always on his face. It didn't matter where he was, Bamboolight was happy to be here. He treaded lightly, not feeling calm enough to sit down, pacing slowly back and forth in a dream-like state. His mind was elsewhere, serenely thinking about his littermates and how he would support them as they were taking their assessments. Walruspaw, he knew, was especially having a hard time. Bamboolight found himself hoping that he could return to his littermates with new jokes to tell, with new stories to get Walruspaw's mind off of his behindness in training...

LIGHTWALKERS!! ━━━━━━━━ ★ ━


➤ METEORFALL ★ they/them ⋆ Light guide ⋆ tagged: Queen Honey [The Royal court]

Meteorfall was completely caught by surprise by the compliment "Oh- Thank you!" they felt unusually flattered, maybe because they would never expect to hear that from someone like that molly "Then I must admit, you're astoundingly beautiful as well" between smiles and slow blinks Meteor figured they should clear their head and elaborate an answer for the flame point's question "Well, I'd rather not be referred to as a leader or commander because I don't see myself as an authority figure for my group, I don't command, I simply keep them together and guide them to become their best selves, because that's what I consider myself to be, a guide." they looked away and took a deep breath, thinking of their cultural differences when compared to other clans "I suppose that's a bit unorthodox for the large majority of clans, however, it functions very well for my group."

➤ SUNSETSTEP ★ they/them ⋆ Healer ⋆ tagged: Cloudpool [Caveclan]

The little ginger cat gently purred "Well, I really hope I can learn more from other healers!" They paused, a hesitantly thinking about the information they would disclose "As a self taught healer sometimes I wonder if my knowledge isn't enough to help my companions, but at the same time they seem to know so little about it compared with myself!" Sunset nervously laughed, they felt ashamed, and yet somewhat relieved by admitting that.

➤ BASALTSPOTS ★ they/them ⋆ Lightwalker ⋆ tagged: open! + Whitequartz

As they told their guide earlier, Basalt decided to spend the gathering on the down low. They found a cozy spot under the moonlight, a little isolated from the crowd and loafed there with their friend. Of course they wouldn't mind if someone came to chat with them, but for now, just observing the crowd was good enough.

➤ GLEAMINGONYX ★ they/them ⋆ Lightwalker ⋆ tagged: open!

➤ COPPERBREEZE ★ they/them ⋆ Lightwalker ⋆ tagged: Lotuspad [Cavernclan]

Copperbreeze was interested in what that interaction could possibly lead to, to say the very least, "I'm Copperbreeze, from the Lightwalkers! I suppose my clan is fairly small and new" they said with a smirk in their face and a raised chin. Maybe that was a good opportunity to make their group seem cool, Meteorfall would be proud, they thought, "In fact, this is my first gathering, it feels a little strange to be surrounded by so many different cats"

➤ WHITEQUARTZ ★ they/them ⋆ Lightwalker ⋆ tagged: open! + Basaltspots

Whitequartz laid down on a quiet spot, huddled up with their companion and quietly groomed them. The white cat wasn't fond of socializing and Basalt's laid back attitude was endearing for them.

IGNIS LYNCIS!! ━━━━━━━━ ♛ ━

➤ GLORYHAMMER ♛ it/its ・ Ignis Rex ・ tagged: open!

➤ AYREON ♛ he/him ・ Lyncis・ tagged: open!

Although the calico had a tendency to find their leader's high energy something delightful, this time he was more interested in being on his own, as they weren't used to being surrounded by that many cats. Ayeron found a quiet spot and laid there with his legs retracted and his tail curled around his body, not too closed off but not too inviting either.

cats in attendance; agavestar, kissingangel, noyercrack, mona lisa, partrigdehover, talonflame

agavestar tom - 59 moons (pharaoh) - tags; harespring (caveclan) & foxglove, chaosclan
shorthair oriental gray mackerel tabby w/ red eyes.
the grey oriental cat noticed the way that the other two cats spoke so highly of being mentors, and couldn't help but think back a bit to his own mentor, the clan's late deputy sandpatch. the tom had been family in every way except blood, being considered a brother to his father, which was the only reason he had been allowed to mentor the future leader instead of following their clan's normal traditions. he then thought about all of his siblings, and how the younger ones had been mentored by the older ones; perhaps one day he would have the opportunity to mentor a niece or nephew, as that was one of the old laws that he did plan to keep in place. "i do hope to someday have an apprentice of my own, although in our clan we do things a bit differently. our royal family is a lineage; only members of the family can mentor each others young as they are born. as the clan's future pharaoh, i watched my sisters mentor our younger siblings, but i never had the opportunity, as my father was busy preparing me to take his place when he passed on. i am hopeful that the next time one of my sisters has kits, i will be able to mentor one of them." he knew, especially after hearing the mollies added words, that most clans expected their leadership to have mentored at least one young before taking a high ranking position, and he understood that value, which is why he intended to take an apprentice, something that previous pharaohs hardly ever did unless they had no kits of their own and planned to groom one to be the future leader of the clan. "i will admit that i am a bit awkward around kits; my entire life was planned out for me, so it was always about training or studying. i do hope my mate and i will be good parents ourselves though, when the time comes. do either of you have kits?"

kissingangel tom - 56 moons (hunter) - tags; open
mediumhair black & white w/ blue-gold heterochromia.
the black and white tom had been separated from the love of his life for so many moons that he couldn't help but wonder if, when they finally reunited, the other tom would even feel the same about him anymore. kissingangel's dreams had been plagued with memories of himself and the bengal tom from their youth, before the cold watch syndicate fell apart and they were ripped apart. every fiber of his being had wanted to seek out the tom that had been his first friend, first, crush, first love, first nearly everything, for many moons now, but fear held him back from attending gatherings. on top of that strict law that scarabclan had recently gotten rid of about forbidding mates outside of the clan. but with that law being overturned, he finally allowed a tinkling of hope to return to his heart, and asked to attend this gathering in hopes of seeing the love of his life again.

after spending plenty of time searching, and also spotting two of his clanmates walk off looking defeated, the black and white cat let out a sigh, realizing that islandclan must not have attended tonight. who knew if the bengal tom who held his heart still lived there, or would even want to see him again. shaking his head to clear the negative thoughts, he allowed his eyes to look around, trying to at least find someone to talk to to pass the time.

noyercrack tom - 51 moons (hunter) - tags; mona lisa
shorthair ginger mackerel tabby w/ green eyes.
he would be lying if he said it was his idea to attend the gathering to meet up with their mate and share the good news with him, however everyone that knew the pair of them knew that his mate was the brains of their duo. the orange tom-cat was practically prancing in place, not at all listening when his pharaoh spoke to the group of them about how the gathering should take place, only really breaking out of his trance when his petite mate bumped against him gently. "sorry, sorry, just excited. do you see moonscar anywhere?" his green eyes flashed down to look at his mate as she shook her head, nudging him towards the large group of cats. "well lets go then! lets see if we spot any islandclan cats, hopefully they can point us in moonscar's direction."

mona lisa molly - 51 moons (hunter) - tags; noyercrack
mediumhair tortie w/ muted crimson eyes.
the calm molly stood peacefully at her jittery mates side, pressing her body softly against his in an attempt to calm his excitement or nerves; she knew it was likely a mixture of both. unlike her mate, she was listening intently to the words that their pharaoh spoke, nodding her head in agreement to his requests, and watching him walk off before nudging her mate's shoulder with her head to get his attention, her crimson eyes meeting his green ones as her nostrils flared. "i don't see him yet, but my nose definitely scents his clan around here. we should go looking for islandclan; i'm sure we'll find him then. he's a pretty tall cat, even taller than you my love, so we'll see him."

however, after the pair had practically scoured the entire gathering space, they realized that no cats from their mate's clan had arrived. the molly pressed a comforting paw to her mate's shoulder to soothe him as he plopped down near the outskirts of the space, lowering his head in a clearly defeated manner. "don't be so discouraged, my heart. perhaps if we speak to agavestar, he will allow us to split off from the others to visit islandclan briefly so we can share our good news. why don't we try to find someone else to talk to? i know its not the same, but you always enjoy interacting with others. the molly spoke soothingly to her mate, her words an enticing purr.

partridgehover molly - 15 moons (hunter) - tags; grapevine (truffleclan)
mediumhair black-silver mackerel torbie w/ pickle-green eyes.
the curious molly was grateful when the other cat didn't seem to shy away from her touch; many of the cats in scarabclan were very reserved with their affections, aside from families or mates, and although she had been at the brunt end of her mothers smothering many times, she hardly ever had been the one to initiate contact, so it felt... different, but in a nice way. she smiled brightly at the tom as her eyes sparkled listening to his life and his clan, eagerly taking in all of the knowledge that she could. "the meadow sounds very nice! and i can't say i've ever experienced moderate weather; that truly sounds like a blessing. in scarabclan, just like any desert, the days are scorchingly hot and we have to be careful about overheating, but the nights get absolutely freezing cold, so we all have to huddle together for warmth." the little molly's green eyes flashed down to their tails as they brushed and wondered if the tom did it on purpose; she found herself intrigued and attracted to him in a way she had never felt before, so she decided to take a chance, and flicked her tail to lay on top of his before meeting his eyes with her green ones again. "hmm, honestly, i would have to say that our camp is my favorite thing. its a hidden oasis thats incredibly difficult to get into, so most don't stumble across it by accident, but its beautiful. we all have dens carved out of the rockwalls, but my favorite place is probably the one place i wasn't supposed to go to but snuck into as a kit. its called the pool of stars, which is at the base of the mouth of the gods. its where our shamans and medicine cats go to commune with our gods and ancestors. its the most sacred place in our clan; its a beautiful pool underground, and the cave walls lining it are covered in sparkling rocks. now, i think its only fair that i ask whats your favorite part about your clan?"

talonflame tom - 60 moons (fighter) - tags; coffeesplash (cavernclan)
a amber spotted shorthair with green eyes, white paws, & minor scarring.
the scarred tabby tom was not well known for smiling, but he attempted a small smile that looked more like an uncomfortable grimace of sorts as he sat beside the pretty molly. he couldn't help rolling his neck a bit, the scars that resided on the base of his neck always giving him trouble after a long amount of work or walking, before fixing his green eyes on the molly again as she spoke. "well then, its nice to be able to meet you so early on in your clan's gathering experiences, dear coffeesplash." as he was always able to, the tom turned on the charm with a tad bit of flirting, without going overboard or rubbing her the wrong way. "i've never heard of cavernclan, would you mind telling me about it a bit? and of course, i'll share with you about scarabclan as well. we reside in the middle of a desert, so our connections to other clans are very limited, aside from these gatherings, for which we have to travel far and long to attend. but our pharaoh - which is our leader - has always wanted us to attend when we can to socialize and gain connections to others whose way of life may be different from ours."

Autumnsong nodded, noting that they didn’t have these herbs yet. “If you ever need any, please send a warrior or come yourself! Truffleclan is always there to help in times of need.”

The she cats eyes widened. “I’m sorry, did you say alligators?” Autumnsong had heard of them once before, from another cat. She hadn’t thought they were real, and if they were, no cat had troubles with them!

“Truffle is doing well, leaf bare was rough, we lost a young warrior. We are doing alright since then, though!” Autumnsong thought of dear Pumpkinpatch. He was too young, barely a few moons into being a warrior.

The orange Tom listened intently as the young she cat spoke. “Your home sounds incredible. I must say, I don’t know that I would be able to handle it, but wow, I’d love to see it sometime!” When she had laid her tail on his, his eyes darted to them. He gave a small smile and looked back to her again.

“Hm, the place I love the most? Cheesily enough it would have to be the pond. On sunny, warm days, the big tree provides plenty of shade! And the water seems to keep the area surrounding nice and cool. Plus, we can catch all kinds of prey there!” He flicked his ears once, trying to decide if he should say what he was thinking. He went for it, “I’d love to show you sometime. I bet you wouldn’t even know what to do with all that water!” He teased.

The young colorpoint nodded as the other cat spoke. “No, no, that makes perfect sense and isn’t unorthodox to me. Quite frankly I don’t see many leaders calling themselves anything but a leader. I like that you are there to guide your members and aren’t there to boss them!” Queen Honey knew it sounded weird coming from her of all cats. Wasn’t a queen bossy?

“How are things in your group going, by the way?” Queen Honey meowed. She wondered if that question was too personal, as they had just met.

The tabby Tom took a glance at the place where the leaders had gathered above the common cats. Bamboo sighed, “I unfortunately will never get to understand the importance of sitting up there. I don’t have the royal bloodline.” He looked back at his new friend. “Do you want to be leader one day?”

Bamboo nodded as the other tom explained the rankings in his clan too. “Ah! It’s all making sense now! We’re not so different after all, just different names.” The young male nodded at the confusion about training separately. “We have to train separately. We have to court cats our age and we can’t be around each other without supervision.”

the grey oriental cat noticed the way that the other two cats spoke so highly of being mentors, and couldn't help but think back a bit to his own mentor, the clan's late deputy sandpatch. the tom had been family in every way except blood, being considered a brother to his father, which was the only reason he had been allowed to mentor the future leader instead of following their clan's normal traditions. he then thought about all of his siblings, and how the younger ones had been mentored by the older ones; perhaps one day he would have the opportunity to mentor a niece or nephew, as that was one of the old laws that he did plan to keep in place. "i do hope to someday have an apprentice of my own, although in our clan we do things a bit differently. our royal family is a lineage; only members of the family can mentor each others young as they are born. as the clan's future pharaoh, i watched my sisters mentor our younger siblings, but i never had the opportunity, as my father was busy preparing me to take his place when he passed on. i am hopeful that the next time one of my sisters has kits, i will be able to mentor one of them." he knew, especially after hearing the mollies added words, that most clans expected their leadership to have mentored at least one young before taking a high ranking position, and he understood that value, which is why he intended to take an apprentice, something that previous pharaohs hardly ever did unless they had no kits of their own and planned to groom one to be the future leader of the clan. "i will admit that i am a bit awkward around kits; my entire life was planned out for me, so it was always about training or studying. i do hope my mate and i will be good parents ourselves though, when the time comes. do either of you have kits?"

kissingangel tom - 56 moons (hunter) - tags; open
mediumhair black & white w/ blue-gold heterochromia.
the black and white tom had been separated from the love of his life for so many moons that he couldn't help but wonder if, when they finally reunited, the other tom would even feel the same about him anymore. kissingangel's dreams had been plagued with memories of himself and the bengal tom from their youth, before the cold watch syndicate fell apart and they were ripped apart. every fiber of his being had wanted to seek out the tom that had been his first friend, first, crush, first love, first nearly everything, for many moons now, but fear held him back from attending gatherings. on top of that strict law that scarabclan had recently gotten rid of about forbidding mates outside of the clan. but with that law being overturned, he finally allowed a tinkling of hope to return to his heart, and asked to attend this gathering in hopes of seeing the love of his life again.
after spending plenty of time searching, and also spotting two of his clanmates walk off looking defeated, the black and white cat let out a sigh, realizing that islandclan must not have attended tonight. who knew if the bengal tom who held his heart still lived there, or would even want to see him again. shaking his head to clear the negative thoughts, he allowed his eyes to look around, trying to at least find someone to talk to to pass the time.

noyercrack tom - 51 moons (hunter) - tags; mona lisa
shorthair ginger mackerel tabby w/ green eyes.
he would be lying if he said it was his idea to attend the gathering to meet up with their mate and share the good news with him, however everyone that knew the pair of them knew that his mate was the brains of their duo. the orange tom-cat was practically prancing in place, not at all listening when his pharaoh spoke to the group of them about how the gathering should take place, only really breaking out of his trance when his petite mate bumped against him gently. "sorry, sorry, just excited. do you see moonscar anywhere?" his green eyes flashed down to look at his mate as she shook her head, nudging him towards the large group of cats. "well lets go then! lets see if we spot any islandclan cats, hopefully they can point us in moonscar's direction."

mona lisa molly - 51 moons (hunter) - tags; noyercrack
mediumhair tortie w/ muted crimson eyes.
the calm molly stood peacefully at her jittery mates side, pressing her body softly against his in an attempt to calm his excitement or nerves; she knew it was likely a mixture of both. unlike her mate, she was listening intently to the words that their pharaoh spoke, nodding her head in agreement to his requests, and watching him walk off before nudging her mate's shoulder with her head to get his attention, her crimson eyes meeting his green ones as her nostrils flared. "i don't see him yet, but my nose definitely scents his clan around here. we should go looking for islandclan; i'm sure we'll find him then. he's a pretty tall cat, even taller than you my love, so we'll see him."
however, after the pair had practically scoured the entire gathering space, they realized that no cats from their mate's clan had arrived. the molly pressed a comforting paw to her mate's shoulder to soothe him as he plopped down near the outskirts of the space, lowering his head in a clearly defeated manner. "don't be so discouraged, my heart. perhaps if we speak to agavestar, he will allow us to split off from the others to visit islandclan briefly so we can share our good news. why don't we try to find someone else to talk to? i know its not the same, but you always enjoy interacting with others. the molly spoke soothingly to her mate, her words an enticing purr.

partridgehover molly - 15 moons (hunter) - tags; grapevine (truffleclan)
mediumhair black-silver mackerel torbie w/ pickle-green eyes.
the soft-spoken molly found herself feeling as though she had a bit more confidence than she normally did with other cats, since this tom genuinely seemed to care about what she says. "i would love to show you sometime, but it all depends. our clan has always been very secretive; i don't believe an outsider has ever been allowed in our camp before. however, with our new pharaoh agavestar, he has been reversing some of the old-fashioned laws and implementing new ones that are more modern like other clans have. so i'd have to ask him for permission." she found herself just rattling off about her clan without much of a second thought about what she was saying; she was never the type of cat to share so much with someone else, always instead wanting to listen to them talk, so this tom was making her feel new things. at his nervous words, she leaned forward, placing a soft paw on one of his paws, as she gave him a small smile. "i would absolutely love to see the pond with you sometime, grapevine. i've never seen a pond before; our water supply in scarabclan mostly consists of rivers and streams of running water. and its always dangerous to get water, we have to be careful and make sure that someone is watching our backs, because the crocodiles hide under the rivers and have killed many cats."

talonflame tom - 60 moons (fighter) - tags; coffeesplash (cavernclan)
a amber spotted shorthair with green eyes, white paws, & minor scarring.
the scarred tabby tom was not well known for smiling, but he attempted a small smile that looked more like an uncomfortable grimace of sorts as he sat beside the pretty molly. he couldn't help rolling his neck a bit, the scars that resided on the base of his neck always giving him trouble after a long amount of work or walking, before fixing his green eyes on the molly again as she spoke. "well then, its nice to be able to meet you so early on in your clan's gathering experiences, dear coffeesplash." as he was always able to, the tom turned on the charm with a tad bit of flirting, without going overboard or rubbing her the wrong way. "i've never heard of cavernclan, would you mind telling me about it a bit? and of course, i'll share with you about scarabclan as well. we reside in the middle of a desert, so our connections to other clans are very limited, aside from these gatherings, for which we have to travel far and long to attend. but our pharaoh - which is our leader - has always wanted us to attend when we can to socialize and gain connections to others whose way of life may be different from ours."

isopodstar - male - 45m - leader - tags; petalstar (cavernclan)

Isopodstar's piercing gaze met another cat's. She was black and white, like him, but not an oriental. He returned the smile, his gaze slowly softening, "Nice to meet you, Petalstar. My clan, Squidclan, is rather new. This is only our second gathering." He meowed, before continuing, "My name is Isopodstar." His large ears were stiff, as if he was attempting to listen to his clanmate's conversations, but barely anything could be heard due to the loud chattering of the cats around him. "What clan are you from?" he asked the other leader.

sootblotch - nb - 31m - deputy - tags; kissingangel (scarabclan)

Sootblotch looked as if they were about to burst into tears. They were so anxious about everything but tried to keep a straight face. Every cat was probably judging them, and Sootblotch was shaking. They ran off to the side of the gathering, not wanting any cat to see their quivering figure. As they ran, they accidentally bumped into a black and white cat. Sootblotch shook their head and profusely apologed, "I'm s-sorry! I didn't mean to cause any trouble for you." Sootblotch mewed, their eyes bright with anxiety and worry over almost accidentally running over the cat.

wrenspark - male - 57m - hunter - tags; foxflame (geminiclan)

Wrenspark nodded appreciatively, "That makes sense. Sootblotch isn't really sure what they're good at- being anxious, of course, but besides that, I'm not sure." The persian thought for a moment, "They are pretty good at hunting alone, I suppose."

doefern - female - 68m - healer - tags; open

Doefern sighed and stared after Cedarspeckle as she walked away. The oriental queen constantly pushed herself even when she was due soon. She tried and failed to convince Cedarspeckle to rest- numerous times. Doefern never wanted to argue with any cat, but especially Cedarspeckle. The queen was fierce and tough, seemingly always having her guard up. Doefern gave a small sigh sat down.

newttongue - genderfluid - 22m - fighter - tags; open

Newttongue licked their lips, still tasting their prey from a few hours ago. He was a bit nervous from the absurd amount of cats, but knew that Doefern would help him if anything bad happened. She shook her fur and her nervous eyes looked around the gathering, before retreating to the outskirts of the gathering.

cedarspeckle - female - 55m - queen - tags; mottledshade + pigeonflight (caveclan)

Cedarspeckle nodded quickly, "I don't blame her, but it can be a lot with her overbearing tendencies." She said. "She already wants an apprentice, but we don't even have any apprentices in the clan yet." She mrrowed with laughter. The oriental queen's mood had swiftly changed, and she was glad she had found companions to talk to. "I've thought a bit about names. I think something related to marine animals would fit, since we do live at a beach. I'll probably change my mind about names a million times before the kits are even born. I think I might name one Thresherkit, after a type of shark." Cedarspeckle mewed, "Or maybe after types of trees, like how I'm named Cedarspeckle."

basaltswirl - female - 47m - queen - tags; brushfire (auroraclan)

Basaltswirl stopped right in front of him. Her overly-affectionate nature made her immediately rub her head against his cheek, her purrs filling her own ears. She was ecstatic to tell him about his kits, but decided to ask him about his own clan first, "How's everything in Geminiclan?"
