indentfigspots nodded thoughtfully. "that could be, definitely," she mused. "i used to travel for a bit, before i found highgarden. i'd heard of a lot of clans in passing, mostly as a warning not to cross into their territory or take their prey - the usual stuff. but i never really spoke to the clan cats or asked what clan they were actually from," she said. figspots paused, taking in the sights around them. it still amazed her how the clans could come together, from all of their walks of life, under the full moon. she still wasn't sure that she understood highgarden's gods, or starclan, or any of the other warrior ancestors, but if it brought peace, then she didn't have anything bad to say about all of it. "anyway, i had no idea how big some of the clans were, or how many there are. not until i joined highgarden, and i see now how much i missed out on, being on my own. do you like swiftclan? what's it like?" at that, figspots sat back and listened politely as the other tom, tourbillonpelt, began to speak.


QUICKCLAN
cyanstar | tom, leader, 78m, tagged: peridotstar
indentfrom almost as far back as cyanstar could remember during his time in quickclan, hazeclan and quickclan had a close-knit alliance. first with hazestar, and then with pantherstar, there was a deep security that ran the length of their borders and beyond, crossing into deep friendships and romances between the clan cats, and cyanstar found that he knew the hazeclan scent nearly as well as quickclan's. throughout many seasons, the change of leaders, the most difficult of wars, the clans had been there for one another, and cyanstar felt that it was only naturally for the alliance to continue and carry on. so cyanstar welcomed peridotstar, nodding along when she began to speak about hazeclan. "i'm very glad to hear that," he said, his tone genuine. "and quickclan is well, thank you. falconflight and i just recently welcomed our youngest kits into the clan, actually. he said that it might be time that we stop expanding our family, as if he isn't enjoying the time in the nursery with them," cyanstar said, purring at the thought of his mate and kits, before he turned his bright blue eyes back to peridotstar. "anyway, i wanted to say that i'm glad that hazeclan came to tonight's gathering. i'm glad that you're here, peridotstar. i'm glad that you're hazeclan's leader, i know that if the dark forest put you here, you deserve it."

lycheewings | tom, medicine cat, 20m, tagged: rootwake
indentthough he tried to always put on a brave face and smile through his own misfortunes and pain, lycheewings was no strangers to mourning and grief. along with losing friends in quickclan, he had also lost two of his littermates and one of his fathers to various illnesses and injuries over the seasons. and though asphodelstorm did his best to protect and care for lycheewings and dragonsoar, there was only so much a father could do for his kits - lycheewings had grown used to grief, and, if anything, it fueled him. it was part of the reason why he had trained so hard. "it's unfair," lycheewings agreed, dipping his head respectfully as rootwake spoke about her mentors and their various loses. "but i don't think there's anyway around it. i think it's the unfortunate part of clan life, and maybe of any life... is that it can't last forever. and there are some things that we just can't heal away. but i'd really like to try my best, and i think that you do too, otherwise you wouldn't feel so strongly like you do. and i admire you for that, i really do," lycheewings added, daring to bump his shoulder companionably against rootwake's. "i think we could be good friends, you and i. maybe we can support each other, even from afar. because it is hard, and maybe we could both use a friend that understands it better than our other clanmates do." however, at the mention of the neighborhood, lycheewings seemed to shake off their previous conversation, his whiskers twitching with curiosity. "i think we have a few cats from the neighborhood in quickclan, actually. did you know raven, sparrow, or crow?"

thrushpaw | tom, apprentice, 9m, tagged: beetlepaw
indentcoming from quickclan, thrushpaw was used to manuvering through large groups of cats, using his smaller size to his advantage. while warriors towered above him on all sides, thurshpaw moved expertly through them, keeping his tail tucked close to keep from getting stepped on. though his father, cyanstar, had warned thrushpaw to stay with rootpaw and keep from getting under a warrior's paws, the young tom knew that his father shouldn't have been expecting him to follow each and every rule. he was given the honor of joining the gathering as a reward for his hard work in training over the past several moons, and it paid off. soon, he would be a full quickclan warrior. soon, he and his siblings would be traveling every inch of the moorland, scaring away intruders, fighting off giant foxes, and he couldn't imagine anything better.
indenthowever, thrushpaw was nearly knocked off his own paws when a molly bumped into him, leaving him swaying, struggling to stay on his paws. by the time he regained his balance, thrushpaw had been effectively knocked out of his thoughts, and he blinked up at the other cat. "it's alright, my mistake too," thrushpaw replied, shaking out his short white pelt. he smiled wryly. "my sister said that i was bound to get under someone's paws... so maybe we can keep this between us?if skypaw finds out, i'll never hear the end of it."

rootpaw | molly, apprentice, 8m, tagged: bear
indentrootpaw sat towards the edge of the clearing, out of the way of the larger warriors that made up the vast majority of the clan cats at the gathering. her mother had warned her about getting stepped on or crushed, and rootpaw had intended to say with thrushpaw, that is, until the other apprentice was lost to the crowd, too exciting about making a new friend from outside of the clan. and rootpaw had merely rolled her eyes, expecting little else from her denmate before she set off on her own. when she crossed paths with another apprentice-aged tom, rootpaw smiled and dipped her head politely, mindful of her mother's voice in the back of her head, telling her to remember her manners and not make a cat from another clan upset with her. "hi there. my name's rootpaw and i'm from quickclan, best clan in the whole world. what's your name?"

𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐍
Leader: Applestar | MedCats: Dustleaf
Warriors: Ashstripe, Cherryclaw, Loonfoot, Mila, Patchwhisker, Reedfur
Apprentices: Copperpaw, Frogpaw

Applestar | Tom | 78 moons | tagged: Lightningstar, Strawberryfall (Swiftclan)
Applestar winced. "My apologies," he muttered. "Congrats on your new role--but I'm sorry about...whatever happened." "Tragedies" could mean just about anything, and he thought it wouldn't be wise to presume. In Forestclan, that covered everything from plague to natural disaster to--no, don't think about him--to, well...everything. "Is Loon...meteor doing well? And," he added turning to the other cat whose name he still didn't know, "maybe I could introduce you to one of our medicine cats? You're probably about Tumbletoes's age. He's not here at the Gathering," Applestar continued, "but maybe next time." He paused, suddenly having an uncomfortable thought. "You don't happen to...know a Nour, do you? You almost look like you could be brothers."

Dustleaf | Molly | 70 moons | tagged: Tombecho (Outback Runners)
Had Dustleaf been younger, she might have jumped a bit. Bristled, maybe. But as it was, with many moons of overeager kits trying to surprise her (and her own littermates doing a fine job of trying) she was practically immune to it. Tombecho was clearly pregnant by the scent, and Dustleaf smiled a little and motioned towards their belly. She didn't know whether the Outback Runners were open to the idea, and she didn't want to make the other feel uncomfortable.

"I'm Dustleaf of Forestclan," she said. "We're a fairly old clan but we haven't gone to many Gatherings recently. Too much going on, although nothing bad thank the stars." Her tail twitched and her whiskers flicked in a shrug. "Been working almost day and night, healing stupid injuries, helping queens kit, making sure that the kittens don't pass anything too dangerous to each other or the clan..." She chuckled weakly. "I'm sure you know how it is. I'm lucky that I have two other medicine cats who can help. Plus an old tom who's good at finding herbs." She shook her head fondly.

"Are the Outback Runners new? I don't recall seeing you before," Dustleaf said curiously. "Although we haven't exactly been the most diligent attendees so forgive me."

Ashstripe | Tom | 89 moons | tagged: open (reserved for Foxfang of Pineclan)

Cherryclaw, Mila | Molly & Molly | 77 & 76 moons | tagged: Sweetsun (Swiftclan)
Mila and Cherryclaw shot identical smiles back at the elderly tom and they sat down next to him, tails curled around their paws. A moment later, Mila decided to loaf.

"Sandfur looks just like his grandmother, my mate says," Cherryclaw said. "Ashstripe. Don't know if you remember him? His grandmother was Rosie of Echoclan, I think. But Rosebush looks...well..."

"Rosier?" suggested Mila.

Cherryclaw laughed. "Sure, rosier. It's a way to honor her legacy. And I'm sure that Applestar wouldn't mind us taking a trip into Swiftclan to catch up. After all, we've always been on good terms and I'm sure that there are some people who would be especially excited." She shook her head with a chuckle. "How's retirement been treating you?"

Loonfoot, Nour | Tom & Tom | 30 & 80 moons | tagged: Honeychirp (Swiftclan)
Nour jumped back, startled and shot a glare at Loonfoot as he snickered. He smiled, a tentative little thing that grew bigger as Honeychirp talked more. "He's a spitting image of your mother," Nour agreed.

"Good to know that I inherited someone's good looks," Loonfoot added wryly. He ducked as Nour attempted to cuff him playfully over the head. "By the stars, it's so weird, finally meeting you," he chuckled awkwardly. "Uh. I should probably tell you that we have a bunch of half-siblings thanks to dad--" he shot a teasing glance at Nour, who closed his eyes and sighed, "and you've got nieces and nephews! Newtflower, my favorite sister--"

"Weren't you just going on and on about how Whimbrelheart is your only sensible sibling the other day?" Nour muttered with a smile.

"Newtflower my favorite sister," Loonfoot continued, "has a trio of kits and me and my mate, Ruddfang, had our litter a few moons ago!" He perked up, remembering something. "Oh, and I think Whimbrelheart is due soon, too. You've got to meet them. And there's also Rushfur--his mate just came to live with him and he's got a stepkit now and she's the cutest don'ttellhimthat--and there's Peachtoes, Sparkflower, and Koiface and they're nice enough, I guess."

"Nice enough. You guess," Nour said flatly.

"Daaad," complained Loonfoot, "they're practically kittens still."

Nour shot an exasperated glance at Honeychirp. "I don't suppose I could take you into Forestclan for a bit and send this troublemaker away for a few moons?"

Patchwhisker | Molly | 25 moons | tagged: Cottonfur (Swiftclan)
When she heard "Swiftclan", Patchwhisker perked up. "Yes!" she exclaimed. "You're one of our northern borders, I think. Past the stream. What's your territory like? I've never been far outside of Forestclan, and I heard that Swiftclan's territory is massive, like several territories together. Is it really that big? How can you even patrol that much land?" The questions tumbled out of her unbidden, and she was surprised at how easily the words came.

Reedfur | Tom | 51 moons | tagged: Animus (Withered Fang Peak)
Reedfur dipped his head in return. He followed Animus's gaze for a moment and noticed them linger on a pair of cats talking. Possibly one of their clanmates? "Prey's running well in Forestclan," he said responding to the question. "I've never heard of the Withered Fang Peak, though. Are you new, or simply new to the Gatherings?" Of course, he left out how Forestclan hasn't exactly been attending many Gatherings as of late. No need to say anything until the other brought it up.

Lightningstar | Tom | Tagged: Strawberryfall, Applestar

Brushing straight past the mentions of the tragedy that had befallen them, Lightningstar responded, "She's doing quite well, actually. She is spending most of her days with her kits and her mate, she's glad to be involved with her family again. Leading does put quite a strain on those sorts of relationships."

Strawberryfall smiled tightly, "I appreciate the offer, but I don't much care for medicine cat gossip. I'm more of a battle medic than an everyday one, so we often don't have much in common." After pausing a moment he continued, "No, I can't say that I do. I'm not originally from this area either, so it's unlikely we're related."

Killmonger | Tom | Tagged: Bearslayer, Pebblespots

Killmonger laughed, jumping down off of Bearslayer's head finally, "No, you were right the first time, he is a dog technically. But he's been in Swiftclan longer than I was, he was raised there."

Bearslayer nodded in agreement, "A patrol of newly named warriors found me as a tiny pup and mistook me for a kitten. As you can see they were slightly mistaken."

Onya | Molly | Tagged: Anwyll, Bracketcloud, Ceila

Onya whirled around, not quite willing to believe her ears and nose. But there they were. "Anwyll!! My Love!! Ciela my darling!" She nuzzled her face into Anwyll's chest, breathing in his scent, "Starclan curse Swiftclan's time flow." she muttered, beginning to tear up. Taking a step back she looked at her daughter, "Oh how you have grown! You're are so beautiful and strong, I am so proud of the cat you’ve become Ciela.” It became harder and harder to hold back the tears as she saw how much her daughter resembled her.

Cottonfur | Tom | Tagged: open

Cottonfur beamed, excited to talk about the clan he had made his home, "It's true," he assured the Molly, squaring his shoulders and standing tall, "Our territory is so vast that we split up into camps to make sure it is all protected. I'm in the camp that is dedicated to training the next generation of apprentices, and is also assigned to guard the queens and their kits in the next camp over. But we have camps in the mountains, near our ocean, in the swamp, and in the snowy portion of our territory."

◤ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx◥

Sloeface | Molly | Tagged: Failnaughtfire

Sloeface laughed, "Like you could ever fit a whole clan in one camp. Yea, we have out camps arranged so that four are closer to the borders, and the two camps where queens raise their kits and apprentices train are both in the center of the territory to make them more difficult to attack." She paused, her gaze becoming wistful, "Not that it seems to work."

◣ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx◢

◤ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx◥

Manateecall | Tom | Tagged: Tourbillionpelt, Figspots

Manteecall paused a moment, his brow furrowed deeper than normal, "I..I'm not entirely sure. I was a kitty pet, and it's what my two-legs called me. They showed me one once, and it looked like a giant grey blob that lived in deep water and eats underwater grass." He then turned to Figspots, "I rather like Swiftclan as a whole, even if some of my campmates are a little...overly friendly. The deputy that runs my camp is a little full of himself, but he does mean well I suppose. The think I miss most is being able to be in silence for more than a moment or two. You can sometimes barely even hear yourself think in Swiftclan during the busy hours of the day."

Honeychirp | Tom | Tagged: open

Honeychirp's eyes got wider and his smile broader the more Loonfoot talked. He bounced in place, finally blurting out, "Oh I HAVE to meet them!! I'me sure I can convince Lightningstar to let me visit for a while!! If you want you could see if Loonfoot could come visit us for a few moons too!! Mom always talks about how she wishes she could have watched both of us grow up together, so I'm sure she'd be ecstatic to see him finally!" Honeychirp paused, hesitant to put a damper on the reunion, but dying to know the answer at the same time. "Uh, Nour?" He asked, his cherry tone faltering a little. "Why did you never come to meet me? I'm sure Maplestar or Loonstar would have given you permission."

Joining Mila in a more relaxed position, Sweetsun laughed, "Of course I remember Ashstripe, we would often patrol the borders at around the same time before I retired completely. I'm glad to hear that he is doing well." At the mention of some cats enjoying the visit especially, he cocked his head, "Oh? Who would that be, if you don't mind me asking?"

WITHERED FANG PEAK

Animus | Nonbinary | 38M [@reedfur of forestclan]
"Thats good! Its running very well in our colony too. We got a blessing from Fang and a lot of food after fighting a fox!" they exclaimed, broadcasting both achievements eagerly. "Oh! Both, really. Yeah, Fang just told us about gatherings a bit ago! We've been to two, but we've been a thing for like- nine months!" the cats tail flicked, grinning. "We have a lot more cats then I thought, whew," their head shook gently, huffing softly. "The fox kinda hurt my mate, though. But everyone loves Arno now- because he helped show Fang that we're worthy!" they grinned, next.

"He's healing up now, though. Thankfully!" their tail waved behind them. "I was one of the first cats in Withered Fang Peak!" they stated proudly. However, done with rambling on about the fox attack, their eyes met Reedfurs. They could only notice the other was about a year old then themselves, so- older. "Anything interesting in Forest-" they took a moment, forgetting what a clan was for a second, but continuing correctly, "Forestclan? I've never heard of you. Then again, I didn't even know clans existed until a bit ago. And even then-" they stopped themselves, choosing to instead grin at Reedfur.

Quite positive, hm?

Pyrrhus | Tom | 39M [@hollystar of tundraclan]
The male merely flicked his tail. "Thats good, winter can be quite rough." His colony never used the terms like leaf-bare- just normal 'human' terms. They didn't pick up on those phrases, and new the actual names.

"Ah, yes, its our second gathering. Our cats are actually very well fed at this time!" he chuckled softly. "We have at least a good few moons of food ahead of us, and spring will only assist as it warms. We have new kittens, for quite the profitable future." he stated, knowing quite well his clan was doing well. However, he didn't say a word about the fox attack, nor anything else that could hinder them. But his other words were quite truthful.

"Adding on, we have a new Pre-Molar trainee, who will be helpful in healing in just a few moon-cycles." he spoke calmly, his tail flicking softly. "Our prey is also running well, it didn't seem to hide when the cold came," he smiled still.

───────────────────────────────────────

North✰star | leader | female | tags: open ✰

The second gathering of the clan. This time Northstar could bring a much more representative crew with her and felt way more confident. She wanted to bring Thornblaze as well, but he was nowhere to be found. Anyway, who needed that old loaf. Today was yet another day in the rigorous training of her two small deputies. They better behave.

Gentleman | warrior | male | tags: open ✰

The gentleman was a fan of gatherings. He could refresh old contacts and create new ones. That didn’t necessarily mean he was outgoing and sociable. He just wanted to be heard, even when he had nothing interesting to say.

Songbird | warrior | male | tags: open ✰

Songbird was the newest addition to the clan and Northstar had no plan of bringing him along. He wasn’t the greatest of warriors meaning he would provide little protection and was an annoying chatterbox, meaning that he’d make the journey miserable. Yet he managed to talk his way in and at least provided entertainment for the two kits so they left North alone.

Whetley | kit | female | tags: open ✰

After arriving at the gathering grounds Whetley’s mouth widened into a smile. She looked from one side to another. There were cats everywhere. All chatting and laughing. This place looked like paradise. She kept close to the group, since North asked them to be on their best behaviour.

Bacup | kit | male | tags: open ✰

Bacup wasn’t much interested in all the strangers that so fascinated Whetley. Although they did all have tails he could chase. And whiskers he could pull. And provided so many opportunities for pranks. He would have to find a way to get himself and Whetley separated from the others and have some fun.

Cats attending

Laurelstar - leader - 50 moons - open

Having survived her first gathering, Laurelstar sat among the leaders with a little more confidence. At least she knew what to expect this time. The unknown tension in her clan seemed to at least not have followed her here. Still, there was a strange air to her group, as if everyone came with some sort of mission in mind.

Fernstep - Deputy - 39 moons - open

Fernstep glanced around at the other deputies, wondering if anyone else was as new as her. Her last gathering she had been a warrior, and now she sat among some of the best of every clan. She wasn’t afraid, but she was curious, what the others would think of her of she registered to anyone at all.

Creamfoot - med cat - 36 moons - open
Dawnrush - Queen - 56 moons - open

“Are you sure you don’t want to oversee dear Pearpaw” Dawnrush said, shifting her paws, “I appreciate the help, but she looked so nervous.” Dawnrush expressed desire to come to the gathering in the hopes of finding out what other clans dealt with an influx of kits, and Creamfoot offered guide her around and maybe introduce her to other medicine cats. “No, no” Creamfoot shook his head, “she’ll learn more from a former leader than I ever could”

Carrotstar - leader - tom - a shorthaired ginger-and-white mackerel tabby with leaf-green eyes - tagged; Cockroachstar (TundraClan)

Carrotstar strode into the island with his cats, relief clearly stamped on his face. The mystery murders had stopped for now. The ginger tabby nodded warmly to his father, Leafwhisker, and to his deputy, Thistletuft, before dismissing his Clan to meet with the rest of the Clans. He himself headed toward the leaders' rock, where a familiar tom - Cockroachstar of TundraClan - came over toward him. The SeaClan leader smiled widely and mewed, "Cockroachstar! Oh, how good to see you. SeaClan and myself have been well," he added brightly, "how have you and TundraClan been?"
Thistletuft - deputy - tom - a longhaired solid gray-and-white tom with yellow eyes - tagged; open

Bramblinglight - medicine cat - she-cat - a longhaired black mackerel torbie with yellow eyes - tagged; Faondapple (ChessClan)

Bramblinglight laughed happily as she greeted her old friend, "Faondapple! It is so good to see you again! I've been well enough," she began, slowly looking down at her paws as her whiskers drooped, "but SeaClan's been through... a bought of mysterious deaths these past few moons..." The torbie's ears perked up suddenly as she mewed briskly, seemingly back to her old cheerful self, "But enough about me or my boring ol' clan! How about you and ChessClan, eh?"
Anwyll - warrior - tom - a dominant white shorthair with yellow eyes - tagged; Onya (SwiftClan), traveling with Bracketcloud

Anwyll stood there still, tears flowing freely onto the grass below as he let Onya nuzzle into him. All those moons of watching PeachClan fall apart. Of the harrowing journey he made with his and Onya's kits. Of how he lost Zevon, Quinn, and Drizzle on the way... He licked Onya's cheek affectionately as he stepped back just far enough for him to be able to sign.

"Onya, we have so much... so much, to tell you..."

Bracketcloud took a deep breath as she mewed, "Mother... PeachClan is gone. And when we traveled out of there... we lost... we lost..." She trailed off as Anwyll signed, whiskers drooping with sorrow, "We lost track of the rest of our kits, my dear Onya... I don't know how Zevon, Quinn, or Drizzle fared after the fall..." Bracketcloud put an assuring tail on her father's shoulder as she stated firmly, "At least we found SeaClan." The aging white tom nodded at the statement and signed, "Yes. We found SeaClan, and they accepted us. Ciela," he indicated to his daughter with a paw, "has a new name now." Bracketcloud smiled, tears threatening to spill from her eyes, "I'm now Bracketcloud. I have a mate of my own now," she revealed, "and he's been taking care of Anwyll and me so well..." She then suddenly broke down, unable to fight back against her own exploding emotions, "Onya... momma... I missed you so much..."

Cicelycloud was nervous. Last time she was here, she was Acaciapaw of IvyClan, awaiting her final assessment. This time, she was Cicelycloud, warrior of SeaClan. The days had passed by so quickly since she had said her goodbyes to her family, friends, and her mentor, Willowreed. She wondered if her old Clan had attended.

Ploverstar - leader - she-cat - a shorthaired black classic tabby with green eyes - tagged; Tawnyrose (Highgarden)

Ploverstar smiled and finished her instructions with a small purr before allowing her Clanmates to disperse. This routine of giving instructions and letting them go do their own thing was becoming comfortable for the black classic tabby now. Nodding encouragingly at her deputy, Darkcrow, the CloudClan leader set her sights for the leaders' rock. She was pretty sure she saw the ginger pelt of Carrotstar, leader of SeaClan, as well as the fluffy white pelt of Leekstar, leader of IceClan, somewhere in front of her in the sea of cats before her, but she wasn't here to meet them. No, she was here to officially make allies for her fledgling clan.

Spotting a regal-looking she-cat nearby, Ploverstar decided to start with her. Stepping in front of the she-cat, the black classic tabby mewed, dipping her head politely, "Good evening. My name is Ploverstar, leader of CloudClan. I hope you and your clan are doing well tonight."

Pineshadow nodded politely to Leekstar's warnings, knowing them by heart by now, and watched as the white she-cat and the rest of her Clan dispersed. She watched Thrushpaw closely before he was lost to the crowd, and hoped he would fare well, as he had only been recently made an apprentice. The black mackerel tabby Norwegian Forest Cat then began her own search, weaving through the mass of felines before her, searching for any familiar pelts and faces from her old Clan, EmberClan...

Thunk.

The IceClan deputy bumped into a cat head-on, and stopped immediately, shaking her head to clear the initial shock away. Once she was sure she hadn't been hurt, the longhaired tabby asked, worried, "Oh StarClan, I am so sorry! Are... are you okay?"
Icestep - medicine cat - tom - shorthaired flame point with blue eyes - tagged; Ceriseberry (KeyClan)

Icestep had finally stepped into the medicine cats' area and settled down when someone close to him asked, "Ah, hello. How are you?" The mild-mannered flame point tom smiled politely at the ginger she-cat and mewed, "I'm doing well, thanks for asking. I'm Icestep, medicine cat of IceClan." He asked curiously, "And you are?"

North✰star | leader | female | tags: open ✰

“Listen up children. And focus for I shall not repeat myself.“ Northstar swooshed her long, soft tail as she sat down. The two kittens immediately run towards her and sat in front of her in line, like tiny fluffy soldiers. ”Let me tell you a little about gatherings. It’s a neutral ground where we do not fight, but meet to exchange information and sometimes goods. It’s a time to show other clans how much better we are and that we are a force to be reckoned with.“ ”But Thornblaze said it’s time to have fun“ Bacup interjected her. North glared at him and his shoulders sank a little. ”Never listed to that scoundrel. Only listened to me.“ She straightened up, composing herself after that unpleasant interjection. ”That is why you must be on your best behaviour. You may form contacts with other cats, but don’t let your guard down. There will be spies gathering information to then use it against us. Tell them nothing, but make them talk. Understood?“ The kits looked at each other with worried looks, but nodded their heads. ”Very well. Observe me and follow my every lead.“

Gentleman | warrior | male | tags: open ✰

Gentleman sat down near a group of cats and listened to the latest gossip.

Songbird | warrior | male | tags: open ✰

Songbird stayed behind the rest of the clan near the outskirts of gathering grounds because he got distracted by a large beetle on a rock.

Whetley | kit | female | tags: open ✰

Whetley was torn. She wanted so much to be a Good Cat and pay all of her attention to Northstar, but there were so many distractions. So many cats! She wanted to run off and greet all of them! Alas, she sat there, obediently, her paws softly digging into the grass in anticipation and her eyes darting to the sides whenever a louder noise reached her ears before quickly darting back and focusing on the leader.

Bacup | kit | male | tags: open ✰

Bacup walked next to Whetley, his shoulder touching hers, as they followed after Northstar leading them around the grounds of the gathering. “Psst”, he said and then said it again, but louder, as Whetley didn’t hear the first time, too preoccupied with everything happening around them. “What is it?”, she asked. “Keep your voice down,” he replied. “What do you say we have some fun?” He saw the worried look in her eyes and the conflict. She would be hesitant, but she’ll give in eventually. She always did.

cockroachstar - tom - 73m - marquess/leader - tags; carrotstar (seaclan)

The maine coon grinned, glad to hear how Carrotstar and Seaclan were faring, "That's great to hear!" Cockroachstar sat down, his fluffy tail wrapped around his paws. He thought for a moment, "I've been doing alright! My daughter, Mantismoon, has a mate and I'm so happy for her!" He puffed out his chest proudly, remembering how Mantismoon told him about how she and Anacondapath were mates. "Tundraclan is doing well, thankfully. Our cats are well-fed and glad leaf-bare will be over soon. Our Nursery is filled with kit and let me tell you- the amount of patrols I want to go on to escape all the kits begging to cuddle in my fur is exhausting!" he laughed.

hollystar - she-cat - 68m - marchioness/leader - tags; pyrrhus (withered fang peak)

Hollystar nodded "I'm pleased to hear of your cats' wellbeing. We also have kits and they are a pawful- but I'm glad to have new life running around camp." Hollystar thought back to the kidnapping of Scorpionkit and Foxkit by the rogues and felt a pang of regret and sadness but shook it off.

tsunamibite - tom - 83m - earl/deputy - tags; wildflame (the fallen)

Tsunamibite yawned, his body still not used to staying up till midnight for the gathering. He had made a few acquaintances while at gatherings and hoped to be able to make more before his retirement. The ticked tabby shivered- not just from the cold, but at the thought of how old he was. It seemed only a few moons ago he and his mate had their litter of kits. He looked around the gathering determined not to get caught up in his thoughts, till his eyes landed on an unfamiliar cat with a foreign scent. He padded over to the cat and introduced himself, "Hey there. I'm Tsunamibite, Earl of Tundraclan. Who might you be?"

morninglight - she-cat - 59m - healer - tags; ostrich's cry (order of the hyena)

Morninglight nodded in swift agreement. It seemed every moon Tundraclan was getting into border scuffles with just about anything they deemed fit. She looked up as Ostrich's Cry mentioned kits and her gaze brightened a bit, "That's fantastic to hear! Kits may be troublemakers, but surprisingly, some aren't. A good friend of mine has a really rambunctious kit named Eclipsekit, and a soft-spoken one named Celestialkit whose taken an interest in herbs." She thought for a moment, "I've overseen a lot of kittings in my time, so do you want some advice? Especially for the first litter to be born in The Order of the Hyena, I imagine the cats are anxious about it."

swanflight - genderfluid (she/he) - 21m - healer - tags; stintspeckle (ivyclan)

He purred softly, "I have! I used to be terrified of gatherings, but I've made some friends and I'm more comfortable here now, thankfully." She looked up as Stintspeckle asked for her name, "Oh, Swanflight! I was given my suffix from my old mentor. He's here right now!" He looked over the crowd and pointed with his tail towards a colorpoint, "That's Wisteriaflight! He had to stop training me for a bit because he was expecting kits, but he's back as a Healer and I'm glad."

wisteriaflight - demiboy - 46m - healer - tags; goldfishcracker (wheatclan)

Wisteriaflight smiled at the ginger she-cat, "That's great to hear! My own apprentice, Swanflight, has always become a full healer, and I couldn't be more proud of him." The Birman sat down and wrapped his thick, dark tail over his paws. He was thankful for his fluffy pelt to keep out the worst chills of leafbare and was glad he wouldn't be freezing like some of the shorthaired cats in Tundraclan. "Tundraclan is doing good, thank the stars. We've had new kits and they're full of energy; I had my own kits, actually! Lavenderpaw became an apprentice recently and he's doing great- his siblings are living with their father. Lavenderpaw is as excitable as... well, anything! He wished he could be here tonight, but his training tuckered him out."

failnaughtfire - tom - 36m - knight - tags; sloeface (swiftclan)

Failnaughtfire did not want to tell the she-cat a single clan could fit in a clan. Actually, maybe she was right. The white tom listened closely, "That's a great idea! Tundraclan just lives in a single camp and I'm glad our camp is big. If it was any smaller, I'd be stepping over kits because there are just so many!" he chuckled. Failnaughtfire noticed the wistful tone in the other cat but decided not to ask her in case it was a sensitive topic.

Lightningstar | Tom | Tagged: Strawberryfall, Applestar

Brushing straight past the mentions of the tragedy that had befallen them, Lightningstar responded, "She's doing quite well, actually. She is spending most of her days with her kits and her mate, she's glad to be involved with her family again. Leading does put quite a strain on those sorts of relationships."

Strawberryfall smiled tightly, "I appreciate the offer, but I don't much care for medicine cat gossip. I'm more of a battle medic than an everyday one, so we often don't have much in common." After pausing a moment he continued, "No, I can't say that I do. I'm not originally from this area either, so it's unlikely we're related."

Killmonger | Tom | Tagged: Bearslayer, Pebblespots

Killmonger laughed, jumping down off of Bearslayer's head finally, "No, you were right the first time, he is a dog technically. But he's been in Swiftclan longer than I was, he was raised there."

Bearslayer nodded in agreement, "A patrol of newly named warriors found me as a tiny pup and mistook me for a kitten. As you can see they were slightly mistaken."

Onya | Molly | Tagged: Anwyll, Bracketcloud, Ceila

Onya's breaths were jagged as she nodded, still fighting the tears, "All of our kits are as strong and brave as you are my love, I'm sure that they have found clans of their own." She paused, a few tears fighting their way free, a mixture of joy and grief, "And Bracketcloud, I'm glad you are adjusting well! Life in a new clan can be overwhelming. I must see if Lightningstar would let me petition your leader to come meet your new mate." As her daughter began to cry, she laid a paw over her shoulder and pulled her close, their fur mingling to you could not know where one ended and the other began. "I've missed you too my darling," she managed to choke out, before the sobs overtook her voice. She clung to her daughter tightly, afraid to ever let her go again.

Cottonfur | Tom | Tagged: open

Cottonfur beamed, excited to talk about the clan he had made his home, "It's true," he assured the Molly, squaring his shoulders and standing tall, "Our territory is so vast that we split up into camps to make sure it is all protected. I'm in the camp that is dedicated to training the next generation of apprentices, and is also assigned to guard the queens and their kits in the next camp over. But we have camps in the mountains, near our ocean, in the swamp, and in the snowy portion of our territory."

◤ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx◥

Sloeface | Molly | Tagged: Failnaughtfire

"Well maybe you should split into two camps." Sloeface suggested, "Even just having the apprentices and kits out from underfoot all the time makes life much easier." She paused, then laughed a little, "And it means that you can actually sleep without having to listen to all the racket young cats somehow make."

Manateecall | Tom | Tagged: Tourbillionpelt, Figspots

Manteecall paused a moment, his brow furrowed deeper than normal, "I..I'm not entirely sure. I was a kitty pet, and it's what my two-legs called me. They showed me one once, and it looked like a giant grey blob that lived in deep water and eats underwater grass." He then turned to Figspots, "I rather like Swiftclan as a whole, even if some of my campmates are a little...overly friendly. The deputy that runs my camp is a little full of himself, but he does mean well I suppose. The think I miss most is being able to be in silence for more than a moment or two. You can sometimes barely even hear yourself think in Swiftclan during the busy hours of the day."

Honeychirp | Tom | Tagged: open

Honeychirp's eyes got wider and his smile broader the more Loonfoot talked. He bounced in place, finally blurting out, "Oh I HAVE to meet them!! I'me sure I can convince Lightningstar to let me visit for a while!! If you want you could see if Loonfoot could come visit us for a few moons too!! Mom always talks about how she wishes she could have watched both of us grow up together, so I'm sure she'd be ecstatic to see him finally!" Honeychirp paused, hesitant to put a damper on the reunion, but dying to know the answer at the same time. "Uh, Nour?" He asked, his cherry tone faltering a little. "Why did you never come to meet me? I'm sure Maplestar or Loonstar would have given you permission."

Sweetsun | Tom | Tagged: Cherryclaw, Mila

Joining Mila in a more relaxed position, Sweetsun laughed, "Of course I remember Ashstripe, we would often patrol the borders at around the same time before I retired completely. I'm glad to hear that he is doing well." At the mention of some cats enjoying the visit especially, he cocked his head, "Oh? Who would that be, if you don't mind me asking?"
