Charstar -- 36 moons -- tom -- leader -- tagged: open

Mockingbirdstar was sitting the gathering out, and it was something Charstar usually enjoyed not doing… but he was here. He decided he’d rather wait for someone to approach him instead of approaching someone.

Marshminnow -- 96 moons -- tom -- Hunting Captain -- tagged: Gimli (Outback Runners)

Marshminnow watched who he thought was a young warrior bounce around the gathering, smiling ti himself as he remembered his own excitement at a young age. He had always been so happy to interact with others and learn more about everyone and everything. While his excitement wasn’t as visible as this other cats, he felt a sort of connection to them, wanting to talk to them. “Hey,” he called out to the excitable warrior, trying to get their attention. “Do you have room for someone to walk beside you, to walk and talk?” He knew he always felt better when his paws were doing something. “I’m Marshminnow, by the way - a hunting captain for a clan called ChaosClan” .

Prints -- 63 moons -- she cat -- hunter -- tagged: Crumpet (YangClan)

Prints was hoping to see a familiar face, her best friend she hasn’t seen for so long… She scanned the crowd, hoping for a glimpse of Crumpet.

Olivegrowl -- age -- she cat -- scout -- tagged: open

olivegrowl was new here, but she was glad for the opportunity. She felt serene, watching cats pass by, waiting to say helllo.

Falconpaw -- age -- she cat -- apprentice[url][/url] -- tagged: beetlepaw (TundraClan), Crowpaw (VagaryClan)

Falconpaw heard the other cat sputter nearby, turning her attention cautiously towards the stranger. She listened as the other introduced herself, and gave a timid smile and nod. “Hi there,” she said, shuffling her paws slightly in the dirt. “I’m Falconpaw, of ChaosClan. I’m new to the clan, and to the idea of a gathering… there definitely seems to be a lot of cats here. Did you have to travel far?” Falconpaw did her best to start an engaging discussion, her mind still in a thousand places at once.

It was then she heard the voice of another cat, blinking slightly and turning her attention. “Uh, hi there,” she called back, twitching what she meant to be a friendly smile. “I’d like that,” she said sincerely, the presence of other cats her age making her feel more at ease and like she did belong here. “I’m Falconpaw, of ChaosClan” she said, reintroducing herself for Crowpaw.

Darkcrow - tom - deputy - a large longhaired solid black tom with some rusting and pale copper eyes - tagged; Reeddapple (ColdClan)

Darkcrow strode into the area where the deputies sat, and was immediately approached by a she-cat. Blinking in pleasant surprise, the solid black tom dipped his head in greeting and meowed, "Pleased to make your acquaintance, Reeddapple. I am Darkcrow, deputy of CloudClan. How does the prey run in ColdClan?" He added, a curious look on his face
Fadedsong - she-cat - medicine cat - a shorthaired calico with green eyes - tagged; open, medicine cats

Crossflight - she-cat - warrior - a longhaired gray classic tabby with deep green eyes - tagged; reserved for Hazefrost (VagaryClan)

Crossflight jumped in fright at the black tom's greeting, and it took a few momnets just for the gray classic tabby to gaze up at him. Her frightened expression slowly turned to relief as she murmured at the tom's concerned mew, "I... I'm okay. Thanks for the concern," she added hastily, ears flattening in embarrassment. The CloudClan warrior then attempted to straighten up, meowing formally (as best as she could, really. She was still shaking a little), "We... haven't come to many either; so let me introduce myself. I... I'm Crossflight, of CloudClan."

♪ Rustfoot
tom ; deputy ; tags: stormstar
Rustfoot brought up the rear of the VagaryClan party, and made sure to check that each of his Clanmates were settled in before going to find a spot of his own. He wandered absentmindedly for a few moments before selecting a group of cats to sit near, not realizing that it was the leaders' circle.

✥ Snowynight and Ebonysmoke
mollies ; warriors ; tags: goosewing
Ebonysmoke trotted happily into the clearing with her mother, Snowynight, on her tail. She was determined to see her father tonight after so many moons, and finally tell him about her brand new warrior name. She could feel Snowynight's amusement at her confidence, but she didn't care- she was here on a mission.

❋ Flintfur and Reedbloom
tom and molly ; warriors ; tags: ironrumble
Reedbloom knew something was wrong the moment her brother hesitated, and she leaned forward a bit as though she could take the stress that had formed in his shoulders. Upon hearing the news she could only blink at him, unable to process what she'd just been told, and she found herself without words. To her surprise, it was her father who moved forward and gathered Ironrumble's dejected form into his side.
"It's not your fault, son. You couldn't have known." Flintfur murmured, giving Ironrumble a gentle lick on the ear. "Turtle-" He choked on his mate's name, and Reedbloom's heart broke as she watched him blink back tears. He drew a deep breath and continued, his voice wavering. "Turtlehollow was always so brave. So ready to put others before herself. She... Of course she would try to protect the patrol." Flintfur smiled fondly, but it did not reach his eyes. Reedbloom stumbled forward and joined the small huddle, closing her eyes and allowing herself to imagine for a moment that her mother was a part of it.
"Do you... remember what her last words were?" Flintfur's question came quietly, nervously. "What did she say to you?"

❀ Dianthuspaw
tom ; medicine cat apprentice ; tags: swanpaw
Dianthuspaw donsidered the question for a few moments before giving a small smile. "Well, it's certainly... interesting, I guess. The medicine cats have been kind of busy lately, so I've not been able to get in too much training." His smile wavered as he recalled the recent battle that had left so many of the Clan still grieving and wounded. "But... Fadedsun says I should get my name soon. That's my dad! He was VagaryClan's first medicine cat." He puffed out his chest happily, hoping Swanpaw would be impressed.

❦ Pipertrill
molly ; warrior ; tags: dawnshade
Pipertrill's head swirled with all of the new names that she had just heard, but she focused back in on the molly in front of her, and nodded along politely. "Wow! What was it like training in different territories? I was born in QuickClan, but I've lived in VagaryClan my entire life, so I kind of know what it's like to be in two different places but at the same time I definitely don't. Cause, ya know, I don't remember anything about QuickClan." Pipertrill chuckled at herself. "Maybe Mistripple can come next time! My brothers Merlinpaw and Sparrowpaw are in QuickClan, but maybe they'll come next time too!"

⚘ Hazefrost
tom ; warrior ; tags: crossflight
Hazefrost took a seat close enough to hear Crossflight, but far enough away so that he didn't come off as intrusive or threatening. "No problem. You just seemed a bit on edge." He tilted his head curiously at her, taking notice of her soft fur and deep eyes. She was quite beautiful, he decided, but he wasn't sure if he should comment on it, at least not yet. "I'm Hazefrost of VagaryClan. Pleasure to meet you." He offered a gentle smile her way. "Is there something you're worried about?"

☆ Crowpaw
tom ; apprentice ; tags: falconpaw and beetlepaw
"Your Clans have such cool names! I'm from VagaryClan- and guess what? My mom is the one who came up with the Clan's name!" He puffed out his chest in pride, before laughing at himself and dropping easily into a sitting position. "My parents tell me I shouldn't brag, but I still think it's too cool not to tell everyone." He grinned at the two apprentices, eagerly awaiting their reactions.

HIGHGARDEN
tawnyrose | molly, queen, 83m, tagged: marbledstar
indenttawnyrose couldn't help but purr in amusement at her own blunder, offering the other leader a lopsided smile. "that will make him pretty hard to pick out of the crowd, won't it? well, i can try," she said, daring to peer into the throng of cats for another moment longer. when she remained momentarily unsuccessful in locating pinespirit, tawnyrose sat back and smiled as the other leader introduced herself spoke about her own kit. "it's very nice to meet you," tawnyrose said with a polite nod of her head. "jerobakit's a very lovely name. is jerobakit your only kit, then?" she asked. upon a single glance, it was easy to tell that marbledstar was much younger than tawnyrose, as the older queen mused that her older sons were probably closer in age to marbledstar that tawnyrose was. perhaps, a few moons earlier, the thought would have been grounding, but tawnyrose merely shrugged it aside. "i was always nervous about that too. i guess i still have a little bit of that in me, after all. but when my first litter was young, i never wanted my daughter out of my sight. i was scared that something bad would happen the moment my back turned," tawnyrose said, pausing as if to consider her own words. if her expression darkened, however, she managed a smile through it. "pinespirit is my youngest. i think my first litter let me learn a lot about... well, being a mother. pinespirit's sister, cherryfire, she's very independent. but pinespirit is more quiet, and i guess i'll always be protective over my youngest kit." she smiled wistful and shrugged her shoulders. "it's still quite strange to me to think that my kits are all grown. even one of my older sons has kits, and they're almost ready to receive their full names, so they're not even close to being the youngest in the clan." she blinked at marbledstar, realizing that she had been day-dreaming. "does your clan have a lot of kits? it's always so joyous to have a full nursery."

ravenpaw | tom, herbalist's thorn, 11m, tagged: swordpaw
indentravenpaw stuck close to the edge of the gathering after tawnyrose dismissed the patrol for the evening. he knew that it was rather uncommon - a thorn to be alone at a gathering without his mentor, perhaps even more uncommon for herbalists. but, he knew that merlinsong, gladesun, solsticestand, and squirrelleaf had matters to attend to at camp. and solsticestand had encouraged ravenpaw, saying that it would be a good experience, a good chance to get away from everything else and have a night outside of highgarden's territory. but, deep down, he knew that she felt sorry for him. his headaches and visions had been getting worse, and ravenpaw knew that solsticestand was hoping the gathering would help clear his mind.
indentsure enough, it was increasingly difficult to concentrate on another other than the gathering. with so many cats together in one place, so many of them strangers, it was easier to stay along the outside. after some time, ravenpaw's pads began to ache, and he approached one of the cats sitting alone. he cleared his throat. "hi, my name's ravenpaw. i'm an herbalist of highgarden." he scuffed his forepaw absently against the soft dirt. "would you mind if i sat with you for a little bit? i don't think i'm ready to try to go into the rest of the gathering, it's a little crowded, and i'm not too keen on having warriors tread on my tail."

ironrumble | tom, knight, 15m, tagged: flintfur & reedbloom
indentit wasn't until flintfur bundled ironrumble closer that the young knight realized that he was trembling, his own breath coming in ragged gasps as he fought back a sob. he knew that the wound would never heal entirely, as turtlehollow and ironrumble had always been so close. his mother had been such a great supporter, right from the start, and ironumble could scarcely believe that she was really, truly, gone. when flintfur asked what turtlehollow's last words were, ironrumble gathered himself long enough to breathe in deeply, filling his chest with air to speak. she - she said that we had to be brave, and she said that she was proud of us," he said, looking to reedbloom. he sniffled, then looked to flintfur. "she said to tell you that she loves you, and that she'll always be with us." at that, he tipped his head back to look at the sky. "i think that one of the stars has been brighter since then... that one, there," ironrumble said, pointing with his nose. "and i feel it. she's here and with us, right in the sky. but i still miss her so much. it's not the same, not without her."

OUTBACK RUNNERS !!
Marbledstar | Molly - Queen - 49 Moons - Tagged: Reserved for Tawnyrose

Marbledstar watched as Tawnyrose took one last attempt to find her son, but she was delighted when she asked about Jerboakit. "Yes, she's my only kit. I hope to have many more in the future, though," she purred delightedly. She hoped to find a cat to settle down with in the future, a molly she could truly raise a family with. Marbledstar was content to listen to Tawnyrose to talk about her family. She couldn't imagine her own kit being grown and having kits of her own, but the sight of Tawnyrose able to handle a good sized family while still being the queen gave Marbledstar the hope that she could be like that one day too. When she inquired about the nursery, Marbledstar shrugged. "We have several kits, but it's still kind of small. My Clan went through some hard times recently, so many families haven't been having many kits. Most of them are apprentices now, but I have seen a bit of life in the Clan recently. I have several young pairs that I'm expecting kits from in the next few moons," she purred with a chuckle. Young Carneliansight was always chasing after love, but Polargrowl and Cariboubell had been practically inseparable these past few moons. An announcement of pregnancy would not shock Marbledstar from that pairing.

Driftantler | Tom - Advisor - 63 Moons - Tagged: Tsunamibite (TundraClan)


Driftantler smiled softly as Tsunamibite introduced himself. It was a rather unique name, as he did not hear many cats with tsunami as a prefix. If his memory served him right, a tsunami was a devastating wave that destroyed nearly everything it hit. Perhaps that was the reason for the tom's name, but he sincerely hoped not. If it was, he wanted to stay on his good side. "The Outback Runners have attended numerous Gatherings. We have recently changed our name, along with our change in territory, as it was necessary to regain contact with our gods and ancestors. We have completely put the past behind us and prefer to leave it there. I do not recognize your scent, so it is very likely that our Clans have not crossed paths before. With the sheer number of Clans that attend Gatherings, neither of us have likely met half of the ones in attendance. It is rather astounding," he meowed. His explanation may have been long and winding, but Driftantler felt that he should be allowed to use as many words as he pleased to get his point across. He hoped to not annoy or upset Tsunamibite, but he was not willing to be anything but himself at a Gathering. He did not want to change his personality to get along with a stranger for just one night, and that was a rule he stood by.


Maplesong | Molly - Herbalist - 86 Moons - Tagged: Stintspeckle (IvyClan)


As she padded through the crowd, she noticed a cat seemingly clinging to the outskirts of the Gathering itself. She could tell that he was blind, and it made sense that he would want to stay outside of the main group. She approached him happily, grinning as she called out a hello. "My name is Maplesong, an herbalist from the Outback Runners. How are you today?" she meowed brightly, choosing to sit close to the tom. She was excited to meet him. She did not recall ever seeing him before, and she had never before spoken with a cat that carried the scent he did. He must have been from a Clan she had not met before, but that was not an amazing feat. Truth be told, Maplesong had not been to many Gatherings before. She very rarely came to them, and even then she mostly stuck to speaking to one cat a night. So she honestly had not met most Clans. Her filing cabinet of Clan names was woefully thin, and she was eager to add another Clan to it tonight.


Carneliansight | Tom - Runner - 32 Moons - Tagged: Reserved for Jumpkick


Carneliansight was watching the Gathering excitedly. He hadn't been to one before, and he was more than eager to make friends outside of his Clan. While he wanted to be back at camp, celebrating his sister's new rank as Chaser, he was just as excited to be here tonight. Carneliansight puffed out his fur, a typical fashion for him as he was always trying to seem bigger than he was. It came with being nearly half the size of your three littermates, and many often told Carneliansight that he was being silly. He just sighed and plowed his way into the crowd with an award-winning smile. He wanted to find a friend, but perhaps he might find love here.


Gimli | Molly - Chaser - 15 Moons - Tagged: Marshminnow (ChaosClan)

Gimli's ears perked up when an older tom called out to her. She beamed and waved him over with her tail, secretly excited that he had offered to walk and talk. She seemed to be filled with bubbling energy to the point that she worried she wouldn't be able to sit still. As he introduced himself, she filed away his scent to remember as the scent of ChaosClan. "My name is Gimli. I'm a Chaser in a Clan called the Outback Runners. If you're the Hunting Captain, does that mean you're over all of the hunters in your Clan?" she asked, wondering just exactly why there was a singular captain for the hunters. While there was a council of advisors, they were from an assortment and had no real power as one specific cat over a specific rank. Perhaps ChaosClan was huge, and so they needed cats to handle individual ranks to help divide up the power over a large number of cats. Thoughts and ideas raced through Gimli's head as she bounced, waiting for Marshminnow's reply with excitement.

Dawnshade | Molly - Chaser - 13 Moons - Tagged: Pipertrill (VagaryClan)

Dawnshade grinned as Pipertrill explained about being born in another Clan. "Well, it was weird. I was born in our old territory, where snow covered the ground year-round and the sun didn't rise for over a moon. I was born during the long night, so it was weird when the sun began rising for just a little bit each day. Our new territory is a desert, so it's completely different. The techniques for hunting and fighting are still, at their core, the same, but minor differences had to be made. The stance to stand solid on the sand is very similar to the snow, but expending less energy to stay cool is a much bigger focus now rather than using all the energy we can to keep warm," she meowed. She decided not to talk about the fact that they had kept apprentices inside for the first moon or two until they were just a little bit larger before letting them out into the full force of the cold. As Pipertrill mentioned her brothers, Dawnshade's eyes opened wide. "You have family in another Clan? That's so cool! Do you get to go visit them? Do you get to go into the other Clan's territory?" The questions just seemed to tumble out of her.

──────────────────────────────

Robinstar | 80 moons | female | leader | tags: open, leaders
_____Robinstar led her clan into the Gathering... though "led" seemed too strong a word. Really, she was just the one to walk in front. She grew dizzy at the sight of the crowd and tried to remember the grounding techniques Poppypaw had suggested. But as she tried to count five things she could see, she was shoved to the side by cats rushing past her. She muttered an apology and rushed to the other leaders, keeping her head low.


Tanglestep | 51 moons | male | deputy | tags: open
_____Tanglestep paused, giving Robinstar a moment to take in the surely overwhelming sight before pushing past her, disappearing into the crowd before she could see it was him. He weaved easily through the crowd despite his limp, a silent observer, waiting to see if anyone caught his eye.


Cloverwish | 37 moons | male | medicine cat | tags: open, med cats


Poppypaw | 21 moons | female | medicine cat apprentice | tags: Snowynight and Ebonysmoke of Vagaryclan
Goosewing | 26 moons | male | warrior | tags: Snowynight and Ebonysmoke of Vagaryclan
_____Goosewing's tail flicked back and forth in anticipation as he approached the clearing. Poppypaw eyed him, waiting until Tanglestep had disappeared into the crowd before joining him by his side. "How are you feeling?" she asked gently.
_____"A little nervous," he admitted, though a smile soon spread across his face. "But I can't wait to see them," he purred.
_____"Me too," Poppypaw said lightly. "You're sure it's okay if I come with you?"
_____Goosewing shrugged, his playful smile growing. "We'll see. Come on, I bet they're already here." He picked up his pace, circling the clearing until he caught sight of his mate's distinctive speckled coat, as well as the young cat walking in front
of her. He stopped suddenly, and Poppypaw nearly ran into him.
_____"Is that her?" she whispered.
_____Goosewing nodded faintly, blinking away the tears that had already begun to form. "Come on," he murmured as he continued forward. "Snowynight?" he called. "Ebony––" he paused, not even sure if Ebonypaw was still his daughter's name.

Featherstar sat quietly observing the chaos of the gathering from the sidelines, her eyes narrowed.

Carrotsun stiffly made his way through the packed clearing, his brow creased in frustration.



barleystorm

Barleystorm confidently strode through the gathered cats, looking for a friendly face to talk to.



oceanhiss
(4) caregiver , molly [she/he] , 39m ─ tags : @ terrabite [tundraclan]
Oceanhiss leaned into her mate's side, her purring somehow growing even louder. "I'm glad Greenleaf has been so kind to your clan; and that Seashellkit is doing so well there." The molly let out a sigh of relief, smiling lightly, "I can't help but worry about you two sometimes, you know? Knowing your doing so well makes me feel better."
Oceanhiss shuffled her paws in the dirt absentmindedly. "I've been fine. Royalmoon and Spicetuft have been helping me out after Wavekit and Tidekit passed, Duckleaf as well." The mention of the three brought memories back to the queen, memories of Royalmoon and Spicetuft spending the entire night of her kits' vigil comforting her and of Duckleaf helping her sort through her feelings on an especially rough night. She let out a small sigh; she would have to thank them again once she got back to camp.

morningblaze
(5) warrior , molly [she/they] , 35m ─ tags : @ open


Morningblaze remained at the edges of the crowd, gazing nervously at the gathered cats.



mousespring
(6) warrior , agender [she/he] , 27m ─ tags : @ open


Mousespring made her way through the gathering, clearly searching for someone.



swordpaw
(7) warrior trainee , agender [they/he/she] , 13m ─ tags : @ ravenpaw [highgarden]
Swordpaw observed the gathering from the edge of the clearing, his eyes wide with excitement. It took everything in his power not to spring up and dive into the crowd. He reminded himself, though, that doing that would probably end with Mousespring finding him. Now that he thought about it, running away from his mentor after she had explicitly told him to stay by her was a bad idea, wasn't it? This moment of clarity spiraled him into a flurry of thoughts about how thinking before he acted would probably save him a lot of grief in the future.
Swordpaw gave his indented ear a flick as he heard the approaching pawsteps of another cat, drawing himself out of his thoughts. The silver tabby stared at the apprentice with large, curious eyes as he listened to what he had to say. He gave Ravenpaw a huge toothy (and hopefully friendly) grin, "Feel free, don't blame ya for not wanting your tail stomped on." Swordpaw gazed thoughtfully at the sky, idly wondering why the apprentice had chosen to speak to him.
Swordpaw gave his right ear another flick before turning his aqua eyes back on Ravenpaw, "Name's Swordpaw, I'm from Mintclan." the apprentice paused, "So, Herbalist, huh? That means you heal cats and collect plants and stuff, right?"

[Red weasel]

Auroraclan

Auroraclan has been in quite the state, with the loss of their deputy and rising tensions. Some in the clan questioned why Laurelstar would make now her first gathering. She tells her clan it is to raise the clans spirits, but in reality, she’s hoping somehow the gathering will help her pick a new deputy, he debate in choice another thing drawing criticism to her. All potential deputy candidates are in attendance, minus Sandbrush who stayed behind to watch over the clan.

Laurelstar - leader - female - 48 moons - tags: open

“Codebreaker”. She could still hear the old cat hissing at her, but how could she she be expected to quickly pick a deputy when there was such tension, and so many call for so much. What did it matter if she took longer than she was supposed to, would Starclan really be so angered. Laurelstar tried to wipe the grimace from her face. Her clans first gathering under leadership, the moment to make her first impression, and she was close to blowing it all because she was in her head. She straightened her back, trying to sit tall an proud. She wished Sandbrush had come, he could keep her calm, but she needed to prove she could do this on her own.

Creamfoot - med cat - male- 34 moons - tags: open

Creamfoot didn’t really want to be here, social gatherings were not his thing, but Fernstep asked him to keep and eye on Laurelstar. No doubt she was speaking for her friend Sandbrush’s concerns, and normally Fern would take on the matter herself, but her paws were full with the eyes and the others. He watched laurel shift. He knew that once she was in her element she would be fine, but for now he would have to try and keep her calm.

Bluestorm - warrior - female - 42 moons - tags: open

Bluestorm eyed her competition, the three ladies stationed calmly nearly Laurelstar. Fools. They would never prove how valuable they were to clan sitting pretty and waiting for someone to come to them. Of course there was Ottershine, already gone, but he was no competition to her, he was far too disinterested. No, she was going to put and find some powerful and and forge an bond, then Laurelstar will see that she can offer the clan valuable alliances, and a shot at true power.

Fernbrush - warrior - female- 37 moons - tags: open

Fernbrush watched the others as she sat, paws tucked under herself. The position she was in was still strange to her, but she didn’t mind it. Sure she was under observation for a job she never thought she’d be up for, but if her performance in the clan made her worthy of the job, all she needed to now was be herself. If she wasn’t meant to be deputy, she would be, if she wasn’t, she won’t. Instead she wanted to focus on enjoying the opportunity placed in front of her, the ability to meet so many others from such interesting places was special enough, there where those who would never picked to go to a gathering, she was lucky to be at this one.

Sleekshine - warrior - female - 36 moons - tags: open

Sleekshine shifted her weight, and nervously looked around at all the cats, so many new faces, of which she was expected to interact with. She felt so unremarkable, so undeserving of being here, yet here she was, thrust into the running for a position in a race thrust upon her, all because she has been heroic. Heroic for doing exactly what she was supposed to as a warrior, looking out for her clan.

Ottershine- warrior - male- 25 moons - tags: open

Ottershine trodded around the area, bored, but determined to not embarrass his clan. At first he didn’t even want to come, he was more than ready to drop out of the deputy race, until he realized the opportunity to he had. A feee ride to meet some other cats? How could he pass that up?


Brushfire - warrior - male - 32 moons -tags: open

Brushfire slide his way into the gathering, taking the spot Sandbrush would have had. He did have a little help advocating his position for travel, and he was here what he did best. Collect any useful information he could, as well as keep his eye on certain members of his clan. I’m joining Auroraclan he stumbled on a wealth of opportunity, and he wasn’t going to let that go.

Briarcreek - warrior - female - 50 moons - tags: open

Briarcreek sighed and looked over at her cousin. Before, a gathering would be an exciting event for her, but with her cousin in disarray over the state of her clan, it was a little bit of a buzzkill. She wanted to go out an socialize, but she didn’t want to desert her family either. Her fidgeting must have caught Creamfoot”s attention, as he looked at her, nodded, and gestured for her to go. Briar looked from him, to her cousin, the hopped up to go see who it what she could find.

Ploverstar - she-cat - leader - a shorthaired black classic tabby with yellow eyes - tagged; Laurelstar (AuroraClan)

The black classic tabby was much more confident now that Darkcrow and Nightbreeze - former leaders of now-disbanded Clans - were at her side to advise her. She wasn't the timid, incompetant, young kittypet unsure of her place in the wild. She was now a mature she-cat who was fully aware of her surroundings. The CloudClan leader now walked confidently through the crowd of cats, greeting SeaClan's Carrotstar with a nod before she made her own way to the leaders' rock, where she noticed a she-cat who reminded her of her own past - unsure of themself. Deciding to help the leader out, Ploverstar headed to her.

"Hello," she mewed gently, approaching the cat from the front so that they would not be startled, "I hope you do not mind me sitting here." Sitting next to the cat, Ploverstar continued pleasantly, neatly tucking her paws in under her tail, "I am Ploverstar, leader of CloudClan. Is this your first Gathering?" She asked, curiosity in her eyes, "I do not think I have ever seen you before."
Darkcrow - tom - deputy - a large longhaired solid black tom with some rusting and pale copper eyes - tagged; Reeddapple (ColdClan)

Darkcrow strode into the area where the deputies sat, and was immediately approached by a she-cat. Blinking in pleasant surprise, the solid black tom dipped his head in greeting and meowed, "Pleased to make your acquaintance, Reeddapple. I am Darkcrow, deputy of CloudClan. How does the prey run in ColdClan?" He added, a curious look on his face

Crossflight - she-cat - warrior - a longhaired gray classic tabby with deep green eyes - tagged; Hazefrost (VagaryClan)

Crossflight nodded at the VagaryClan warrior, soothed by his calm voice, but flinched visibly at his question. Is there something you're worried about? The question hit home, for sure. She gulped, backing away from the tom for a moment before meowing, shaking her head, "It... it's nothing. Honest," she inisted; if this cat was associated with her old Clan... She shuddered just at the thought.

Cats Attending: Carrotstar (leader), Thistletuft (deputy), Comfreyleaf (medicine cat), Aloespots (warrior), Tidefall (warrior), Oakshadow (warrior), Bitternpaw (apprentice), Ryepaw (apprentice)

Carrostar - tom - leader - a shorthaired ginger mackerel tabby with green eyes - tagged; open, leaders

Carrotstar was preoccupied with the alarming developments back home. There was at least one killer in the Clan, with Magpiepelt, Sticklenose, Obsidianheart, Foxflame, and now his own son, Squashpath, lying dead in their wake. But that couldn't stop SeaClan from attending the Gathering, he'd decided, acting on advice from his father (and former leader), Leafwhisker.

He dismissed his Clan, allowing them to disperse, and headed toward the leaders' rock, greeting CloudClan's Ploverstar with a nod as the younger she-cat padded past him. Carrotstar shool his head a little before he pushed onward.
Thistletuft - tom - deputy - a longhaired solid gray tom with low white spotting and yellow eyes - tagged; Tanglestep (AspenClan)

Thistletuft nodded in encouragement as the cats of SeaClan dispersed when Carrotstar gave the word. The developments in SeaClan were alarming, but the SeaClan deputy agreed with his leader: the Gathering was no event to skip. He shook his head a little and wove through the cats, and eventually spotted a cat taking his time as he headed toward the deputies' area. Assuming this tom was, too, a deputy, he approached him.

"Hello," he greeted formally, trying to keep his tone friendly, "I'm Thistletuft, deputy of SeaClan. How does prey run in your Clan?"

Oakshadow - tom - warrior - a shorthaired black classic tabby with yellow eyes - tagged; open

Oakshadow warned the two apprentices, "Be sure not to give away anything that a Clan could use against us!" The two she-cats rolled their eyes, but nodded, before they sprang away. Chuckling softly at their receding figures, the senior warrior made his way through the crowds of cats.

After departing from Oakshadow's presence, Bitternpaw turned to her sister, Ryepaw, and mewed excitedly, "Our first time in a Gathering!" Ryepaw exclaimed, "Yeah! Let's go meet an apprentice from another Clan!" The two she-cats wove through the crowd of cats until they spotted a cat who looked like an apprentice. Hoping that this cat was one, Ryepaw was the first to offer a greeting, "Hello!" Bitternpaw introduced herself and her sister, "Hi! I'm Bitternpaw, and this is my sister, Ryepaw, and we are apprentices from SeaClan!"

Charstar -- 36 moons -- tom -- leader -- tagged: open

Mockingbirdstar was sitting the gathering out, and it was something Charstar usually enjoyed not doing… but he was here. He decided he’d rather wait for someone to approach him instead of approaching someone.

Marshminnow -- 96 moons -- tom -- Hunting Captain -- tagged: Gimli (Outback Runners)

Marshminnow smiled easily at the cat, Gimli. “Yup! I usually tell the patrols where to hunt so that they aren’t all trying in the same area. The leaders or deputy will assign who patrols, they just ask me where to go usually or report any minor problems to me. It’s definitely not a job as challenging as being deputy or leader, which suits me just fine.” He took a pause, looking out over the crowd. “ChaosClan is a pretty huge clan, which is why our past leaders decided to make the extra rank.”

Prints -- 63 moons -- she cat -- hunter -- tagged: Crumpet (YangClan)

Prints was hoping to see a familiar face, her best friend she hasn’t seen for so long… She scanned the crowd, hoping for a glimpse of Crumpet.

Olivegrowl -- age -- she cat -- scout -- tagged: open

olivegrowl was new here, but she was glad for the opportunity. She felt serene, watching cats pass by, waiting to say helllo.

Falconpaw -- age -- she cat -- apprentice[url][/url] -- tagged: beetlepaw (TundraClan), Crowpaw (VagaryClan)

the she-cat momentarily forgot about her nerves, knowing that ChaosClan was an old clan and had been around for multiple generations now. “Your mom really named your clan?” She breathed, delight clouding her eyes. “Is she your leader?”
