xikestrelstar ♂ - 33 moons - leader - tags foxstar (chaosclan)

Feeling a pang of pain at the mention of Chaosclan begin large. Only due to thoughts of his fallen clan mates that perished to the plague. Once they where a great clan filled with many cats, but now their numbers have dwindled to a mere few. "There defiantly isn't a shortage of cats to speak with here." he stated attempting to get his mind off the tragedy. Pausing slightly as what to say next to the fellow leader. "In all honesty the leaders before me weren't too trusting of other clan cats outside our own so they never attended the gatherings. I decided to change that as I think it's a valuable time to forge alliances." he told her remembering how his predecessors had closed thoughts on how other clans would treat their own. Mostly due to the fact that the founders of the clan where all former kitty pets. Not to mention how they lived in a building built by two legs. Though it has long since been abandoned by the two legs themselves. "They worried how others would view our clan as a whole." he stated hoping she would maybe get what he was trying to tell her.

xiAppleflame ♀ - 29 moons - deputy - tags wernspark + sootblotch (squidclan)

Nodding her head in agreement to Sootblotch’s comment. Mentally wishing her coat was as fluffy as the persian’s. The mere thought caused her to wrap her tail around her paws in hopes to keep some warmth. ”Thankfully Logclan’s camp stays nice and warm for the most part.” she mused thinking about the log cabin her clan called home. It truly did stay rather nice inside during leafbare. Thanking Starclan that the two legs who use to live in it left plenty of blankets and pillows for them all to cuddle up on. She suddenly snapped out of her thoughts and blinked at the two cats in front of her. ”Sorry got caught up in my thoughts. You see we stay in a thing that two legs call a log cabin. It has been long abandoned so our founders made it our home.” she said attempting to explain the building as much as she can.

xiPigeonrun ♂ - 25 moons - warrior - tags Minkflutter (caveclan)

Nodding his head to her as he also thought this whole thing seemed a little chaotic. "Yes Kestrelstar's told us of the last gathering that he attended alone. This seems to fit the description quite well." he mused recalling what his leader told them about the last gathering. How he was insisting on others attend with him this time. He was rather hesitant to accept the offer, but know it was his duty to follow his leader so in the end he accepted. Letting out a small sigh he began to speak again "So what is Caveclan like?" he asked wondering what other clans could be like. After all Logclan use to keep mostly to themselves before Kestrelstar became their leader. They let loners and kittypets in here and there, but never really interacted with other clans that much. So he was curious if other clans where similar to theirs in any way.

xiCloudmouse ♂ - 31 moons - warrior - tags duncan (evergreen park)

As he wandered he didn't very well expecting a cat to come up to him. So he nearly jumped out of his pelt when he heard another cat speak to him. Turning to face the cat he saw a gray and white spotted tabby was the one to address him. "I wouldn't mind at all. That's what the gathering is for correct? To make new friends from all walks of life? Sorry this is my first gathering so I'm trying to get the hang of it." he said slightly embarrassed by not fully understanding how this whole thing worked. Though he would have to admit it was rather chilly. Granted he was rather thankful for his long white fur in this moment. Helping to keep him rather comfortable in the frigid weather. "Sure we can head over there, I can imagine you are rather cold. he said in reference to his new companions fur being fairly shorter than his own. He took note of the glint of mischief in his green eyes. Causing the tom to smirk at his new companion "Quite an interesting name for an interesting cat." he noted with a playful tone of his own to Duncan. "My name is Cloudmouse, and I come from Logclan." he stated his name and home proudly. As he was truly proud to come from the dense forest land.

xiRavenpaw (trans)♂ - 6 moons - apprentice - tags Gazelle (The Order of the Hyena)

Taking note of how confident this other apprentice seemed his ears drooped. Wishing he to could be this confident, but his gaze wandered over to his aunt. Who was speaking to two different cats. How'd she get to be so good at interacting with others? Meanwhile he was fumbling one what to say next to Gazelle. "Sorry I'm not use to this type of stuff... Kestrelstar only just went to the last gathering by himself... We haven't really interacted with many other clan cats outside of our own clan..." he said trying to hopefully explain why he was acting this way. Though he knew it wasn't just because of the gathering he was always more shy. Maybe that had something to do with losing both his parents to the plague. He was just a kit when it hit the clan so the plague is one of his earliest memories. Watching as others around him dropped like flies due to the horrid thing.

CHESSCLAN !!

Faondapple | Medicine Cat - Molly - 44 Moons - Tagged: Briston (Whiskered Away)

"I'm a medicine cat, Briston. I face this reality nearly every day. You're just a warrior, so I know it hits harder for you. You never know, your sister might visit you in your dreams. If she gave her life to protect another, she most certainly joined your ancestors. I know the hunting grounds of my ancestors are beautiful, sparkling and shining and dappled with stars. You're handling your grief much more valiantly than some, which shows you're strong. It'll be okay, eventually," she meowed, raising her eyes to the stars. She knew the day she went and joined her missing friends and family would be one of the happiest days of her life, even if it was one of the saddest for those she would leave behind. She knew she would consistently break any rule of StarClan to visit the dreams of those she loved, playing games with them while they slept. "Don't be sorry, it's kind of nice to know someone else can feel the same way sometimes," she chuckled, bumping her shoulder against his. "It's hard to tell my mate about it, even if he understands after losing his sister all those moons ago. They were attempting their final assessment when an avalanche took her. We couldn't tell him for nearly two moons since our assessment takes that long to complete in total solitude," she meowed, remembering the day Tritonsnap had received his name and learned of his loss. "Our leader, their father, still mourns sometimes. It's always hard to lose a kit. Not that I'd know, considering I'm always far too busy to consider a family," she chuckled.

Sleetsigh | Warrior - Tom - 46 Moons - Tagged: Swiss Miss (SquidClan)

Sleetsigh shuddered at the thought of swimming. Several of his clanmates loved to cool off in the stream that bisected their valley, but he couldn't even imagine liking the feeling of water on his paws. "No thank you, I'll stick to the land. You beach Clans scare me," he meowed, unable to imagine the amount of salt caked in Swiss Miss's fur.

Brûlersoot | Warrior - Tom - 33 Moons - Tagged: Thorn & Splotch (Paradise Risen)

"Well, Chess is a twoleg game involving skill and critical thinking. It's between two players who move a whole bunch of little pieces, and the entire goal is to capture the king. It's symbolic of the ongoing war between ourselves and evil as well as evil's tendency to manipulate the weaker members of our clan as if they were a twoleg moving their pawns about," he sighed, remembering seeing one such game being played many many moons ago. "Paradise Risen sounds a little strange, but it's not the most unique Clan name I've ever heard," he chuckled, remembering Clans with names not even in the same language.

Marimbastrike | Warrior - Molly - 21 Moons - Tagged: Open

Marimbastrike blinked as a tom came skidding to a halt barely a hair's width from her nose. "Hello?" she meowed, her voice rising into a question against her will. She took a step back to create some respectful space between them, but she saw her own excitement mirrored in the tom's eyes. This had to be his first Gathering, or his first Gathering as a warrior, and he seemed quite young as well. "My name's Marimbastrike. What's yours?" she asked, grinning. "I just received my name a few moons ago. This is my first Gathering after receiving my full name, which is a reference to my total precision in sparring," she jokingly growled, dropping into a crouch and tensing her muscles. She swiped at the stranger's legs before standing up and lashing her tail back and forth. She was the reigning champion of her littermates' contest, consistently coming out on top when they break into an all-out brawl. She may not have been the largest, but she was the fastest and smartest and could use her size to her advantage.

OUTBACK RUNNERS !!

Glacierbloom | Elder - Molly - 111 Moons - Tagged: Wrenpaw (DuckClan)

Glacierbloom couldn't help but laugh at Wrenpaw's declaration. "It's slippery, but it's not as smooth as a frozen lake. I've slipped and slid across frozen streams, but never a lake. I bet you had lots of fun with all that ice," she sighed, reminiscing about the good times in her previous territory. "Well, that's about enough about me. Tell me more about your DuckClan," she meowed, smiling.

Witheredfern | Warrior - Molly - 48 Moons - Tagged: Open

Witheredfern's heart fluttered with concern as she watched Glacierbloom sit, but she knew the older molly would absolutely berate her into nothingness should she raise her voice. With a grumble, she wandered out towards the Gathering. There were so many new faces, and she was nervous about striking up a conversation. Looking back and forth, she took a deep breath and began to ignore her surroundings as she tried to calm down.

Sprucebough | Warrior - Tom - 24 Moons - Tagged: Pepperspark (CaveClan)

Sprucebough grinned as she encouraged him, realizing it had been moons since any cat in the Outback Runners had done such a thing. "I don't think I caught your name?" he asked, flicking an ear as she complimented him. "Oh, I know. There's no way a cat as devilishly gorgeous as I am could ever commit any sort of crime," he meowed in disbelief, placing his paw on his chest and raising his head dramatically. He looked down his nose at Pepperspark and winked before quickly glancing over his shoulder. He knew Parchmentpool was watching him, and he made eye contact with the tom. He wouldn't do anything to land him on elder duty, but he could have a little teasing fun tonight. Unless he provoked an outright fight, he doubted Parchmentpool would be able to tell he did anything wrong. "That's my clanmate, Parchmentpool," he paused to point at the lone tom. "He's only here to keep an eye on me, mostly because I tend to have a calling to the dramatic," he sighed, shaking his head as if he couldn't believe his clanmates thought that of him.

Parchmentpool | Warrior - Tom - 54 Moons - Tagged: Open

Parchmentpool took a deep breath as he watched Sprucebough tear off at a terrifying speed. He would have to keep an eye on the younger tom, knowing he'd be assigning him to elder duty before the night was over. With a grunt, he wandered down the slope and began smiling at the cats he passed. He could hear the ruckus Sprucebough was causing, but he quit caring at some point. He'd chew him out later, after he had a nice night at the Gathering.

Snowy Owl wandered around the Gathering, seeking conversation.

Houndnose | Warrior - Tom - 35 Moons - Tagged: Open

Houndnose wandered around the Gathering, seeking conversation.

Eveningpoppy | Warrior - Tom - 32 Moons - Tagged: Cherrymeadow (Evergreen Park)

Eveningpoppy smiled at the molly, who seemed a little young but introduced herself with a full name. "I'm Eveningpoppy, a warrior of IgneousClan. It's lovely to meet you," he meowed politely, knowing it was better to begin on prim and proper terms and then become more relaxed as you conversed. She seemed kind enough, putting on the effort to appear grown and deserving of her full name. He knew plenty of young cats in IgneousClan did the same, striving to act as if they hadn't been in the nursery just a few moons prior. "Evergreen Park, you say? I don't think I've heard of that Clan before," he mused.

Gazelle | Apprentice - Tom - 6 Moons - Tagged: Ravenpaw (LogClan)

"Gatherings are a breeze, and they aren't that important. We come to make sure you new Clans learn about us, and to make sure the old Clans remember how fearsome we are," he dropped his voice to a growl, unsheathing his claws and flexing his muscles. He was still small, only having become an apprentice in the past moon. Luckily, his mentor had snuck him out to this Gathering an entire moon before he should be allowed out of the camp. "I mean, our territory is so dangerous that we're not allowed to leave our camp until we're nearly eight moons old. Any younger and we're small enough and weak enough to get caught up in a stampede or chased by lions," he grinned. He wanted to be chased by some large beast, just to prove he could outrun them.

EVERGREEN PARK

squirrelflash | molly, pathfinder, 64m, tagged:
indent

blueleaf | tom, torch-bearer, 36m, tagged: winterglow
indentnormally, blueleaf preferred the comfort of home to the hustle and bustle of venturing outside of evergreen park's territory. home was familiar, peaceful - at least, it was for the majority of the time. still, the recent weather hadn't been particularly kind to evergreen park's pioneers, and the common peace which allowed blueleaf to thrive was replaced by constant motion as salmoncurl and smokewhisker treated to the clan's various injuries and needs. though it was exactly the types of situations that blueleaf was trained to handle, he felt as though he was worn ragged and he needed space from feeling his friends' pain. so, when squirrelflash asked if one of the torch-bearers would like to repesent the clan at the gathering, blueleaf volunteered immediately. there had been no mistaking the surprised look at salmoncurl had worn, but salmoncurl hadn't questioned blueleaf's choice, deciding instead to merely dip their head, acknowledging that they were needed at camp. smokewhisker, to his credit, had let out a hardy laugh at the very thought of traveling so far in such cold weather. my old joints, you know, he had said, making the rest of them laugh.
indentblueleaf sought the company of other healers, though there was a weight on his shoulders. had he made the wrong choice by leaving salmoncurl and smokewhisker to handle the clan? perhaps he should've stayed, since he was the youngest. he could travel far and gather more herbs than the others, he should be with them, to attend to them and to pull his own weight... but it was too late now, and he knew that they were plenty capable. yet, his thoughts continued to tumble as he approached another healer who wore the tell-tale scent of herbs. "hey there, mind if i join you?" he asked, mustering a friendly smile. "my name's blueleaf, one of evergreen park's torch-bearers. that's what we call our healers," he explained, puffing out his thick coat against a strong gust of wintry air. "i don't know about you, but winter's only just begun and i've already had enough. i swear, it's like my clanmates forget how to walk when there's even the thought of ice. they've been coming back to camp all bruised. and don't even get me started on the trainees."

duncan | tom, pioneer, 29m, tagged: cloudmouse
indentimmediately, duncan envied the other warrior for his long fur, so unlike his short tabby pelt. but there was no hiding the smile that crossed his maw when cloudmouse welcomed him, and duncan settled happily beside his new companion, letting out a sigh of relief when the space offered shelter from the frigid wind. "i'll admit that i haven't been to many gatherings, either. so maybe we could figure it out together," he said lightly, tone warm and friendly. as cloudmouse spoke, duncan couldn't help but purr in amusement. "if you think my name is interesting, some of my clanmates might shock you," he said. "our leader doesn't force anyone to change their names when they join the clan, not if they don't want to. my sister also kept her name from our old lives, but we're not the only ones. our deputy is named mammoth, which is apparently a huge animal, and two of our younger members decided to keep their names as well," he explained with a smile. "but i suppose that your name is nice, too," he said jokingly. "i've never heard of your clan before, what's it like?"

cherrymeadow | molly, pioneer, 22m, tagged: eveningpoppy
indent"it's nice to meet you, too," cherrymeadow said kindly when the older warrior introduced himself. the small ginger pioneer had worked hard to make herself presentable before the gathering, washing her pelt until it was smooth, thinking up the best ways to introduce herself, and it seemed to be working so far. thankfully, eveningpoppy seemed nice enough. if anything, he still appeared to be a young warrior himself, probably around foampetal's age, which put cherrymeadow at ease. at the mention of her clan, cherrymeadow's whiskers quivered with joy. "i'm not surprised, we don't have contact with many clans. most of the time we stick to our own territory, and most of our neighbors are rogues and loners. we live in a huge forest pretty far from here," she shrugged nonchalantly. "some of our pioneers aren't so familiar with other clans, so we also don't come to many gatherings. but our leader, squirrelflash, asked me to come since i was part of another clan before joining evergreen park. but that was a while ago." despite her young age, cherrymeadow had experienced plenty of change. "but i'm also curious to hear more about your clans. what's it like in igneousclan?" she asked, carefully sounding out the strange word.

ＳＣＡＲＡＢＣＬＡＮ════════════════════════════════════════════════
cats in attendance; agavestar, lionblood, elkprance, scenequeen

agavestar tom - 62 moons (pharaoh) - tags; mothstar (secretum stella)
shorthair oriental gray mackerel tabby w/ red eyes.
the oriental tom-cat was listening to his companion, something shown by his perked ears and keen eyes, although he did allow himself the occasional lick of a paw or swipe over an ear, a bit of a cleaning habit that his mate told him he did to sooth without thinking on it. "wow, that sounds like quite a story. it must have been quite difficult for you, starting out all alone; i don't know how i would be able to rule without my mate. i could, of course, but i feel as though it would be much more difficult without her counsel." the tall gray cat noticed the way that this other leader's eyes seemed to spark as he spoke again, asking questions about the clan's history. he thought on it for a bit, but decided ultimately that what he had to tell was no secret to be used against them. "well, i couldn't tell you exactly how old our clan is, but we are taught that the first pharaoh created scarabclan during a time where two-legs in our area worshipped cats as bringers of good-luck; thousands of moons ago. it is said that we were created to worship out gods; ra, bastet, and anubis, who blessed out clan." he took a moment to think, unable to help himself from looking out into the crowd as he composed his thoughts before speaking again. "more recently, the stories i know the best are from my grandfather's time. the pharaoh at that time was named branchstar; it was tradition that the leader's eldest son would become the next pharaoh after the current ones death, however branchstar and his mate were never able to have a litter of kits, and thus he had no heir. he began to view my father, then known as bonefang, as his son, and when the time came to name an heir, my father was named. what he didn't know, was that my grandfather blackjackal was an evil cat who had plans of his own; shortly after this announcement, branchstar was found dead in his den in under a moon, and so my father became bonestar. unfortunately, not long passed before my father grew suspicious of the way that my grandfather acted, the things that he said, and confronted him. blackjackal attempted to kill him and steal the throne, but bonestar was able to defeat him and send him straight to the vipers den in the afterlife."

lionblood tom - 38 moons (second) - tags; silverdance (chaosclan)
amber broken mackerel shorthair with fern green eyes.
the tall, leggy tom-cat found himself having to force his back to remain straight and his chest to stay puffed out, even though he felt nothing but shame still about the failure of his old clan, he learned a long time ago that one must always show pride; a message his father practically beat into his head. shaking his head lightly to bring himself out of memories of his youth and back to the present, he returned his attention to the other tom just as he started speaking. "oh, well i'm happy to share my experiences. although the clan's themselves had different ways of existing, i would say that my experience is quite limited as well, at least in terms of placement, as both of my clans have been in similar places that were hot and dry." he listened to silverdance speak about his own clan, and how much different this chaosclan seemed from his own scarabclan. he also enjoyed learning new things, as he knew that many clans had different beliefs or traditions; which tended to be his favorite things. "i would be happy to share more about my current clan's traditions, or things that make us more unique, if you would be willing to do the same? i always enjoy learning new things myself." he smiled kindly as he took in the other tom's flustered manner, and hoped he wasn't being too personal as he reached a paw out, placing it gently on silverdance's own paw for a moment of comfort. "your welcome, silverdance. i know all too well the danger of under-estimating myself; never hold yourself back. you were chosen for your rank as a reason."

elkprance molly - 43 moons (healer) - tags; basatan (squidclan)
longhaired broken mackerel cream tabby with low white spotting and blue eyes.
the large-bodied molly couldn't help the smile that took over her face at the sheer awe that this other healer expressed upon learning about her clan, her ears tilted forward to make sure that she caught every word spoken to her about his clan as well. "i unfortunately wasn't around during those days, but there are some older cats in the clan who talk about how they remember those days, of when scarabclan had more kits than mentors to teach them. i would say that it is quite a good problem to have; new blood in the clan is always a good problem to have." she chuckled softly at her own words, remembering it as a phrase that one of the late healer's used to say when they had much more frequent kittings. "two medicine cats for a clan of thirty seems about appropriate, but if you are growing so rapidly taking on an apprentice would be a good thing, if you have someone showing interest! as for me, we have a few kits that aren't quite sure about the path they want to travel down for training yet, although none have made it blatantly clear yet that they want to be healers. i suppose i'll just have to wait and see."

scenequeen molly- 35 moons (enforcer) - tags; poochpuff (whiskered away)
silver fawn-caramel amber sunshine wideband classic tabby, emo, whalebone.
the short-haired molly watched this other, smaller molly with careful eyes, considering what her best course of action here was. it would appear that this other molly deigned her worthy of conversation, and while she would much prefer to stand off in a darkened corner for the entire night, she had promised agavestar that she would do her best to socialize with other cats, even though it wasn't her strong-suit. she couldn't figure out why he had brought her to this gathering, but figured it must be for some sort of lesson, and had relented to attend without argument. shaking her head to clear away the thoughts, she returned her narrow eyes to the small molly in front of her. "no, i have never been to a gathering before. i hadn't even heard of these things before i joined scarabclan a few moons back. i was born a kittypet, became a loner by choice, and only recently learned about clan life." her words were sharp and precise, only realizing after she spoke that she should likely ask the other cat a similar question. "and, uh, yourself? have you been to a gathering?"

Foxstar -- she-cat (she/her) -- leader -- tagged: Kestrelstar [LogClan]

"Huh, that's interesting," Foxstar thought, thinking about a hidden clan that no one would even know about. "It makes me wonder how truly large the world of the clans is..." she thought, blinking at the thought. There could be so many more cats than she could even dream of here. "I do like the idea of forging alliances though, especially after the rough last few moons my clan has had with rogues," she winced, remembering the struggles and the huge losses that they had sustained... "We... did lose my predecessor to rogues," she admitted carefully, eyeing the other cat. "And it's also why the other leader of our clan wanted to hang back, to make sure the clan was well guarded just in case we are truly not done with our fight. But, thankfully our clan is still strong." She paused to listen to Kestrelstar's last statement, nodding in agreement. "I understand that sentiment completely," she sighed, looking around. "It seems many are quick to judge situations they know nothing about... Which did worry me about this gathering, though I'm glad to hear about your experiences as leader of LogClan!"

Silverdance -- tom (he/him) -- deputy -- tagged: Lionblood [ScarabClan]

Silverdance nodded eagerly at Lionblood's suggestion, happy that he could fulfill his purpose as deputy well. It would be so nice to be able to go and tell his clan about other surrounding clans, to make sure that they know about the world around them. "I would love to know more, if you want to share!" He said, feeling excited for the first time since leaving his clan for the gathering. "I know we have a tradition of a game for apprentices to play right before a warrior assessment for them, as a way of paying homage one last time to their apprenticeship. To help them loosen up and feel more calm during their assessments. It's a scavenger hunt of sorts, a few of the older warriors giving them random items to find and bring back, trinkets they can then keep in their nests and remember their time spent as an apprentice." He paused, smiling as he remember his own small game. "I've still got a blue bird feather in my nest from when I played my game," he laughed.

Winterglow -- she-cat (she/her) -- healer -- tagged: Blueleaf [Evergreen Park]

"Please do join me" Winterglow smiled in return, relaxed, as the other cat approached her. She could tell the tell-tale scent of herbs around him, noting that he must've been another healer like her. "Nice to meet you, Blueleaf," Winterglow purred, nodding her head. "My name's Winterglow, though I'm still getting used to hearing clan names," she admitted, laughing. "Usually I just tell everyone to call me Winter." She took a pause, laughing along with the tom. "You know, despite my name being perhaps a bit misleading, I don't like the winter," she laughed. "I haven't encountered a winter with my clan yet, as I'm fairly new to the clan, but I can already tell I'm going to be quite busy this season," she said, raising an eyebrow as she glanced around the gathering. With seeing how her clan made haste and was not very cautious with the undergrowth on their way here, she could only imagine how they'd be in icy terrain.

Pinepaw -- tom (he/him) -- healer apprentice -- tagged: Wishpaw [DuckClan]

Pinepaw nodded along with Wishpaw, scrunching his eyes as he thought. "Oh yeah, my mentor has already been really nice so I'm sure they would be happy to come with me into the forest, or just have another one of our healers come out with me..." He trailed off, distracted again thinking about Chivewhisker. "Maybe I'll learn everything and then no one can stop me! I'll be the ultimate cat in the clan!" He laughed, tail tip twitching in mischief.

Koalafoot -- she-cat (she/her) -- hunter -- tagged: open

The new member of ChaosClan had come because she could see the apprehension on her new leader's face... and she had to admit she cared a lot about Foxstar. Koalafoot was a fierce protector, and watched Foxstar closely, making sure she didn't need anyone to intervene. Koalafoot wrapped her tail around her paws as a sign of relaxation for other cats, hoping to calm her apprehension for her leader... still, she tried her best to look away from Foxstar, though she kept glancing over at her leader's bright pelt, not wanting to lose her. The warrior found herself hardly caring if she found a conversational partner, though she knew that was the whole reason to come... perhaps she could talk about her experiences as a loner, if any cat cared to hear, but she felt her mind buzz with distraction.

Thistlepath -- tom (he/him) -- scout -- tagged: open

This would be his last gathering. Thistlepath had no doubt in his mind. He was unsure if he even should have come tonight, his joints feeling a dull ache from the long journey to get here, but he knew there would never be another opportunity. So he was here, and he sat off to the edge of the gathering. He was more than willing to observe, but also willing to see if he could attract a more reserved cat to converse with. He knew he didn't have the energy to keep up with the more outgoing cats that usually found themselves in the middle, at least, so here he sat, keeping his eyes on his clanmates from afar, making sure nothing bad was happening.

Musselpaw -- nonbinary (they/them) -- apprentice -- tagged: Skypaw [Whiskered Away]

"Hi Skypaw," Musselpaw said, letting out a somewhat gravelly purr. "I think I would die of embarrassment if my mentor or someone came with me," they agreed, eyes widening at the thought. "I don't need a babysitter." They paused, a spark of mischief and excitement entering their eyes. "So you snuck out here? Because that sounds so cool. I've been planning how I can pull some pranks on my clanmates or just sneak away after training so I can explore the forest, but so far I haven't been able to make it work out..." they trailed off, scowling slightly. "I love to explore."

the oriental smiled as thorn introduced himself, yet it was not a friendly smile. it was more of a forced smile, as to not offput the other tom. "paradise risen? that sounds like a beautiful colony name." isopodstar mewed. "squidclan's territory is a beach. we have a forest nearby, though, in case we need forest prey." the oriental replied, "is your clan new? i havent heard of paradise risen, before."

wrenspark mewed, "no worries, i understand. i tend to get caught in my thoughts when i talk about squidclan." he mrrowed with laughter. "squidclan is usually warm during the day because the sand soaks up the sign, but at night, it can get very cold." sootblotch nodded in agreement, and then spoke softly, "thats cool! i assume thats where your clan got its name from?"

doefern - female - 75m - healer - tags; winterwood (duckclan)

doefern nodded, "yeah! i havent experimented with them much, but im planning too. im wondering if they can be used as substitutes for other herbs that we may not have a lot of." the colorpoint nodded, "that sounds like a beautiful territory. theres not many flowers here, mostly just herbs. its a shame, really." doefern mewed. she shivered, wrapping her tail around her paws, "its so cold. does it get cold in your territory?"

basatan - male - 37m - healer - tags; elkprance (scarabclan)

bastan nodded in agreement, "fresh blood is always good. except maybe when the kits get all under your paws while youre trying to work." he laughed softly, "im thinking about taking on a kit named pinekit when she is old enough. shes very interested in herbs and constantly sends her littermates to me to give them check ups. shes a sweet kit, and she'll be a fantastic healer if she chooses to be." the hairless cat purred at the thought, "we have three ranks in squidclan. fighters, hunters, and scouts. they are all pretty self-explanatory. most of the kits are gonna choose to be a fighter or hunter, im sure."

swiss miss - female - 37m - fighter - tags; sleetsigh (chessclan)

swiss miss laughed at sleetsigh's reaction, "i dont blame you. i could never be a hunter, having to fish in the cold water all day." she shook out her long fur, as if she was thinking about how unpleasant it would be if her fur got waterlogged, "we dont have to fight in the water, so im completely fine with staying out of the water."

smogprance - female - 33m - hunter - tags; yuqine (guild of cathulhu)

smogprance was caught off guard by the fellow oriental's enthusiasm. "nice to meet you, yuki!" smogprance mewed, still a bit wary at being in the presence of many different cats. all the sights, smells, and voices were being to overwhelm her, but she focused on talking to yuqine. "i haven't. this is my first gathering, and i only recently joined squidclan." smogprance chuckled softly, "it sounds interesting, though. whats a cathulhu?" smogprance asked, dipping her head at the oriental. the lilac oriental shifted on her feet, attempting to stay warm. she was grateful she actually had fur to keep her warm, unlike basatan. "is this your first gathering too?" smogprance assumed yuki had been before- her enthusiasm made it seem like she had been here a million times before, and smogprance envied how comfortable and excited yuki seemed here. smogprance sat down, curling her tail around her paws, attempting to keep warm.

ＳＣＡＲＡＢＣＬＡＮ════════════════════════════════════════════════
cats in attendance; agavestar, lionblood, elkprance, scenequeen

agavestar tom - 62 moons (pharaoh) - tags; mothstar (secretum stella)
shorthair oriental gray mackerel tabby w/ red eyes.
the oriental tom-cat was listening to his companion, something shown by his perked ears and keen eyes, although he did allow himself the occasional lick of a paw or swipe over an ear, a bit of a cleaning habit that his mate told him he did to sooth without thinking on it. "wow, that sounds like quite a story. it must have been quite difficult for you, starting out all alone; i don't know how i would be able to rule without my mate. i could, of course, but i feel as though it would be much more difficult without her counsel." the tall gray cat noticed the way that this other leader's eyes seemed to spark as he spoke again, asking questions about the clan's history. he thought on it for a bit, but decided ultimately that what he had to tell was no secret to be used against them. "well, i couldn't tell you exactly how old our clan is, but we are taught that the first pharaoh created scarabclan during a time where two-legs in our area worshipped cats as bringers of good-luck; thousands of moons ago. it is said that we were created to worship out gods; ra, bastet, and anubis, who blessed out clan." he took a moment to think, unable to help himself from looking out into the crowd as he composed his thoughts before speaking again. "more recently, the stories i know the best are from my grandfather's time. the pharaoh at that time was named branchstar; it was tradition that the leader's eldest son would become the next pharaoh after the current ones death, however branchstar and his mate were never able to have a litter of kits, and thus he had no heir. he began to view my father, then known as bonefang, as his son, and when the time came to name an heir, my father was named. what he didn't know, was that my grandfather blackjackal was an evil cat who had plans of his own; shortly after this announcement, branchstar was found dead in his den in under a moon, and so my father became bonestar. unfortunately, not long passed before my father grew suspicious of the way that my grandfather acted, the things that he said, and confronted him. blackjackal attempted to kill him and steal the throne, but bonestar was able to defeat him and send him straight to the vipers den in the afterlife."

lionblood tom - 38 moons (second) - tags; silverdance (chaosclan)
amber broken mackerel shorthair with fern green eyes.
part of the reason that lionblood asked about chaosclan's traditions was because he had always been curious about such things, wanting to expand his knowledge as much as possible. but another reason was that, with the recent unrest following the rebellion a few moons ago, he was also interested in trying to create new traditions that could overshadow some of the old ones that had been banished by their new pharaoh agavestar, in favor of changing to become more modern with the times. "that sounds like a lovely tradition! my daughter taipanpaw is actually going to be taking her assessment this upcoming moon, and while she is all confidence, i know plenty of apprentices that have been a big ball of nerves when that day came. chaosclan is smart to come up with such a thing, to help the younger cats feel more comfortable, while also remembering that they are still young and its okay to enjoy that." lionblood found himself getting lost in thought for a moment at what his own life had been like around that age, which was sorely lacking anything fun or enjoyable, and was soley focused on survival. "well, i would say that currently scarabclan doesn't have any traditions, although in the past we have had many, but our current pharaoh did away with many of them, as they were out-dated and, if i'm being honest, a bit excessive. for example, we used to have something called the trials of the conclave, which all loners found wanting to join the clan had to participate in. it was a variety of tasks and tests to prove that they would make a good addition to the clan; however, failure resulted in death, because the clan used to be incredibly secretive and did not want anyone to know of their existence in the old days."

elkprance molly - 43 moons (healer) - tags; basatan (squidclan)
longhaired broken mackerel cream tabby with low white spotting and blue eyes.
the large-bodied molly cthe way that her ears perked up at the tom's words, a large grin growing on her face that she couldn't contain. another clan that separated its warriors! while it may be becoming more common, she was used to clans having just a single rank, and for scarabclan to be the outliers. "oh oh! scarabclan does the same thing; we separate our cats into fighters and hunters as well! i just didn't mention it because most clans just have one general rank, so i didn't want to have to explain myself for no reason. its so nice to meet another clan who does things our way! its just so much simpler; cats can be placed in a rank that is more suited to their unique skillset, instead of just having to do everything." the cream molly couldn't help the way that her body practically pranced in place talking about this topic, unused to such excitement; if her clanmates could only see her now, they would ask who she was and what she had done to their stern healer. "we have sixteen kits in our nursery right now, although three of them will be leaving next moon i believe to live in their father's clan, which will leave us with thirteen. of those, i am hopeful that at least one will want to be a healer; they are all still so young that they haven't even begun considering their options yet. little pinekit sounds adorable though, and like a perfect fit.

scenequeen molly- 35 moons (enforcer) - tags; poochpuff (whiskered away)
silver fawn-caramel amber sunshine wideband classic tabby, emo, whalebone.
the short-haired molly watched this other, smaller molly with careful eyes, considering what her best course of action here was. it would appear that this other molly deigned her worthy of conversation, and while she would much prefer to stand off in a darkened corner for the entire night, she had promised agavestar that she would do her best to socialize with other cats, even though it wasn't her strong-suit. she couldn't figure out why he had brought her to this gathering, but figured it must be for some sort of lesson, and had relented to attend without argument. shaking her head to clear away the thoughts, she returned her narrow eyes to the small molly in front of her. "no, i have never been to a gathering before. i hadn't even heard of these things before i joined scarabclan a few moons back. i was born a kittypet, became a loner by choice, and only recently learned about clan life." her words were sharp and precise, only realizing after she spoke that she should likely ask the other cat a similar question. "and, uh, yourself? have you been to a gathering?"

CHESSCLAN !!

Faondapple | Medicine Cat - Molly - 44 Moons - Tagged: Briston (Whiskered Away)

"I'm a medicine cat, Briston. I face this reality nearly every day. You're just a warrior, so I know it hits harder for you. You never know, your sister might visit you in your dreams. If she gave her life to protect another, she most certainly joined your ancestors. I know the hunting grounds of my ancestors are beautiful, sparkling and shining and dappled with stars. You're handling your grief much more valiantly than some, which shows you're strong. It'll be okay, eventually," she meowed, raising her eyes to the stars. She knew the day she went and joined her missing friends and family would be one of the happiest days of her life, even if it was one of the saddest for those she would leave behind. She knew she would consistently break any rule of StarClan to visit the dreams of those she loved, playing games with them while they slept. "Don't be sorry, it's kind of nice to know someone else can feel the same way sometimes," she chuckled, bumping her shoulder against his. "It's hard to tell my mate about it, even if he understands after losing his sister all those moons ago. They were attempting their final assessment when an avalanche took her. We couldn't tell him for nearly two moons since our assessment takes that long to complete in total solitude," she meowed, remembering the day Tritonsnap had received his name and learned of his loss. "Our leader, their father, still mourns sometimes. It's always hard to lose a kit. Not that I'd know, considering I'm always far too busy to consider a family," she chuckled.

Sleetsigh | Warrior - Tom - 46 Moons - Tagged: Swiss Miss (SquidClan)

"Your Clan specializes their hunters and fighters?" he asked. "ChessClan lumps them all together, but our more battle-proficient cats more often lead border patrols while the more hunting-proficient cats lead hunting patrols. It all comes down to our deputy somehow knowing each cat's individual strengths and weaknesses," he meowed, purring as he thought of Butterflyleap. He couldn't have asked for a better second-in-command than her, a molly who had spent over 60 moons in ChessClan and had dedicated her life to protecting their territory.

Brûlersoot | Warrior - Tom - 33 Moons - Tagged: Thorn & Splotch (Paradise Risen)

"Well, Chess is a twoleg game involving skill and critical thinking. It's between two players who move a whole bunch of little pieces, and the entire goal is to capture the king. It's symbolic of the ongoing war between ourselves and evil as well as evil's tendency to manipulate the weaker members of our clan as if they were a twoleg moving their pawns about," he sighed, remembering seeing one such game being played many many moons ago. "Paradise Risen sounds a little strange, but it's not the most unique Clan name I've ever heard," he chuckled, remembering Clans with names not even in the same language.

Marimbastrike | Warrior - Molly - 21 Moons - Tagged: Open

Marimbastrike blinked as a tom came skidding to a halt barely a hair's width from her nose. "Hello?" she meowed, her voice rising into a question against her will. She took a step back to create some respectful space between them, but she saw her own excitement mirrored in the tom's eyes. This had to be his first Gathering, or his first Gathering as a warrior, and he seemed quite young as well. "My name's Marimbastrike. What's yours?" she asked, grinning. "I just received my name a few moons ago. This is my first Gathering after receiving my full name, which is a reference to my total precision in sparring," she jokingly growled, dropping into a crouch and tensing her muscles. She swiped at the stranger's legs before standing up and lashing her tail back and forth. She was the reigning champion of her littermates' contest, consistently coming out on top when they break into an all-out brawl. She may not have been the largest, but she was the fastest and smartest and could use her size to her advantage.

OUTBACK RUNNERS !!

Glacierbloom | Elder - Molly - 111 Moons - Tagged: Wrenpaw (DuckClan)

Glacierbloom couldn't help but laugh at Wrenpaw's declaration. "It's slippery, but it's not as smooth as a frozen lake. I've slipped and slid across frozen streams, but never a lake. I bet you had lots of fun with all that ice," she sighed, reminiscing about the good times in her previous territory. "Well, that's about enough about me. Tell me more about your DuckClan," she meowed, smiling.

Witheredfern | Warrior - Molly - 48 Moons - Tagged: Open

Witheredfern's heart fluttered with concern as she watched Glacierbloom sit, but she knew the older molly would absolutely berate her into nothingness should she raise her voice. With a grumble, she wandered out towards the Gathering. There were so many new faces, and she was nervous about striking up a conversation. Looking back and forth, she took a deep breath and began to ignore her surroundings as she tried to calm down.

Sprucebough | Warrior - Tom - 24 Moons - Tagged: Pepperspark (CaveClan)

Sprucebough grinned as she encouraged him, realizing it had been moons since any cat in the Outback Runners had done such a thing. "I don't think I caught your name?" he asked, flicking an ear as she complimented him. "Oh, I know. There's no way a cat as devilishly gorgeous as I am could ever commit any sort of crime," he meowed in disbelief, placing his paw on his chest and raising his head dramatically. He looked down his nose at Pepperspark and winked before quickly glancing over his shoulder. He knew Parchmentpool was watching him, and he made eye contact with the tom. He wouldn't do anything to land him on elder duty, but he could have a little teasing fun tonight. Unless he provoked an outright fight, he doubted Parchmentpool would be able to tell he did anything wrong. "That's my clanmate, Parchmentpool," he paused to point at the lone tom. "He's only here to keep an eye on me, mostly because I tend to have a calling to the dramatic," he sighed, shaking his head as if he couldn't believe his clanmates thought that of him.

Parchmentpool | Warrior - Tom - 54 Moons - Tagged: Open

Parchmentpool took a deep breath as he watched Sprucebough tear off at a terrifying speed. He would have to keep an eye on the younger tom, knowing he'd be assigning him to elder duty before the night was over. With a grunt, he wandered down the slope and began smiling at the cats he passed. He could hear the ruckus Sprucebough was causing, but he quit caring at some point. He'd chew him out later, after he had a nice night at the Gathering.

Houndnose wandered around the Gathering, seeking conversation.

Eveningpoppy | Warrior - Tom - 32 Moons - Tagged: Cherrymeadow (Evergreen Park)

Eveningpoppy couldn't help but bet curious when Cherrymeadow mentioned living in another Clan. "What caused you to leave your Clan?" he asked, hoping it wasn't impolite. He'd known several cats who had left previous Clans behind, such as Juniperclaw and Newtnose. "IgneousClan is kind of strange. We lost our previous home to a fire, so we've moved to this lovely tropical island. Still, there's an active volcano so we have to live underground to avoid the ash in the air. It's honestly quite terrible," he sighed, choosing to omit the part where they'd recently discovered the tracks of a large monster seemingly made of burning material.

Gazelle | Apprentice - Tom - 6 Moons - Tagged: Ravenpaw (LogClan)

"Gatherings are a breeze, and they aren't that important. We come to make sure you new Clans learn about us, and to make sure the old Clans remember how fearsome we are," he dropped his voice to a growl, unsheathing his claws and flexing his muscles. He was still small, only having become an apprentice in the past moon. Luckily, his mentor had snuck him out to this Gathering an entire moon before he should be allowed out of the camp. "I mean, our territory is so dangerous that we're not allowed to leave our camp until we're nearly eight moons old. Any younger and we're small enough and weak enough to get caught up in a stampede or chased by lions," he grinned. He wanted to be chased by some large beast, just to prove he could outrun them.

isopodstar - male - 52m - leader - tags; thorn (paradise risen)

the oriental smiled as thorn introduced himself, yet it was not a friendly smile. it was more of a forced smile, as to not offput the other tom. "paradise risen? that sounds like a beautiful colony name." isopodstar mewed. "squidclan's territory is a beach. we have a forest nearby, though, in case we need forest prey." the oriental replied, "is your clan new? i havent heard of paradise risen, before."

sootblotch - nb - 38m - deputy - tags; with wrenspark + appleflame (logclan)

wrenspark mewed, "no worries, i understand. i tend to get caught in my thoughts when i talk about squidclan." he mrrowed with laughter. "squidclan is usually warm during the day because the sand soaks up the sign, but at night, it can get very cold." sootblotch nodded in agreement, and then spoke softly, "thats cool! i assume thats where your clan got its name from?"

basatan - male - 37m - healer - tags; elkprance (scarabclan)

basatan looked interested as elkprance mentioned scarabclan had separate ranks as well. he had never heard of another clan who did that, "yeah, thats how we feel!" he purred, "i never understood clans who put every job on every cat and didn't take advantage of their skillset." basatan meowed. "sixteen?!" he let out a breath, "wow. we have... ten? kits i believe? but a few are becoming trainees soon- pinekit and her siblings." basatan could hardly believe that cedarspeckle's kits were already almost trainee age. "pinekit is absolutely infatuated with herbs. her siblings? not so much." he rumbled with laughter, "they love playfighting, while pinekit just stays off to the side."

swiss miss - female - 37m - fighter - tags; sleetsigh (chessclan)

swiss miss nodded, "yup. fighters, hunters, and scouts. all pretty self explanatory." swiss miss chirped. "your deputy sounds great at their job." swiss miss couldn't help but wish that sootblotch was as good as a deputy as chessclan's deputy was. she still never understood why isopodstar had made such an anxious, fearful cat like sootblotch deputy. their friend wrenspark would have been a much better option.

smogprance - female - 33m - hunter - tags; yuqine (guild of cathulhu)

smogprance was caught off guard by the fellow oriental's enthusiasm. "nice to meet you, yuki!" smogprance mewed, still a bit wary at being in the presence of many different cats. all the sights, smells, and voices were being to overwhelm her, but she focused on talking to yuqine. "i haven't. this is my first gathering, and i only recently joined squidclan." smogprance chuckled softly, "it sounds interesting, though. whats a cathulhu?" smogprance asked, dipping her head at the oriental. the lilac oriental shifted on her feet, attempting to stay warm. she was grateful she actually had fur to keep her warm, unlike basatan. "is this your first gathering too?" smogprance assumed yuki had been before- her enthusiasm made it seem like she had been here a million times before, and smogprance envied how comfortable and excited yuki seemed here. smogprance sat down, curling her tail around her paws, attempting to keep warm.

blueleaf | tom, torch-bearer, 36m, tagged: winterglow
indentthankfully, the other healer seemed friendly-enough and plenty welcoming, which made blueleaf's shoulders feel much lighter. his ears pricked with curiosity before he let out a laugh while he listened to winterglow speak. "i know exactly what you mean. i'm not sure what it is, but the cold weather and snow makes all of our cats suddenly walk around like kits. they have no awareness for what's around them, and the next thing i know, we're dealing with bruised muzzles, scrapes, and worse," he said, rolling his eyes. even to his own ears, he was sounding just like salmoncurl, but the older torch-bearer was right, after all, more often than not. blueleaf swept his tail over his paws and turned his gaze back to winterglow. "you said you're still getting used to clan names. are you new to clan life?" he asked, merely curious. "what did you do before joining your clan?"

duncan | tom, pioneer, 29m, tagged: cloudmouse
indentimmediately, duncan envied the other warrior for his long fur, so unlike his short tabby pelt. but there was no hiding the smile that crossed his maw when cloudmouse welcomed him, and duncan settled happily beside his new companion, letting out a sigh of relief when the space offered shelter from the frigid wind. "i'll admit that i haven't been to many gatherings, either. so maybe we could figure it out together," he said lightly, tone warm and friendly. as cloudmouse spoke, duncan couldn't help but purr in amusement. "if you think my name is interesting, some of my clanmates might shock you," he said. "our leader doesn't force anyone to change their names when they join the clan, not if they don't want to. my sister also kept her name from our old lives, but we're not the only ones. our deputy is named mammoth, which is apparently a huge animal, and two of our younger members decided to keep their names as well," he explained with a smile. "but i suppose that your name is nice, too," he said jokingly. "i've never heard of your clan before, what's it like?"

cherrymeadow | molly, pioneer, 22m, tagged: eveningpoppy
indent"oh," cherrymeadow said, slightly surprised that eveningpoppy asked her about hr previous clan. it had been a while since she had spoken about lostclan, yet the memories remained fresh. "it's not a long story, but i used to live in a clan called lostclan. it was a really big clan, even bigger than evergreen park, i think, but it broke up some moons ago, when i was still a young apprentice," she explained. "since i was still pretty new to the clan and didn't have any family in lostclan, i kinda got separated from everyone else and wound up on my own. eventually i came across evergreen park, so it all works out." when eveningpoppy began to explain his own clan's home and some of their struggles, cherrymeadow listened with wide eyes. "that sounds really scary, i couldn't even imagine living underground. what do you do for prey?" she asked, her whiskers quivering. just the thought of living underground made her pelt crawl. "this might be rude to ask, but has our clan ever thought of moving again? i'm sure there's other places you could live... right?"
