IslandClan
❧Swanstar - Leader - 78 Moons - Female - Bluebellcrown (Viridian Court)
paragraphGrinning widely, Swanstar settles down next to her, her little stub of a tail brushing a spot clear of any debris behind her from her excitement. "Crowned Bluebell is super a pretty name! Are all your Clan's names like that?" She's so happy to be talking to such an interesting new stranger, and can't wait to tell her kits all about it when she gets home.
❧Minnowflight - Deputy - 62 Moons - Male - Thistletuft (SeaClan)
paragraphMinnowflight settles down next to the other tom, laughing brightly. "Sir, that's a new one." His ears twitch in his amusement, and he beams at him. "I'm Minnowflight, deputy of IslandClan. What's your name?" He can't wait for this gathering to be over now so he can go home and tell Poppyflower that someone called him sir.
❧Spiderwhisker - Med. Cat - 79 Moons - Male - open (Med. Cats)
paragraph--❧Cumuluscloud - Warrior - 41 Moons - Male - Smogtongue (Celestial Beings)
paragraphCumuluscloud nods along, watching his mate's facial expressions fondly as he responds to his comment about Snakeripple's kits. Then he brings up Satinstar, and a frown slips onto his maw. "Oh, I hope Satin's alright. Swanstar's lost a few lives now, and doesn't really seem to phased anymore, but it's probably rough losing your first life." He then pauses, thinking it over, and nudges Smogtongue with a sly grin. "Oho, so you're the leader tonight, hm?"
❧Ladybird - Warrior - 38 Moons - Male - Stagscorch (Highgarden)
paragraphSnorting in amusement, the ghost tabby rolls his eyes. "There's way too many its, and it feels like they're all related to me sometimes." He retorts, the teasing sliding off his back as easily as water. Then he perks up at the news about the apprentice, laughing. "You? Trusted?" He nudges the knight, smirking. "Something must be wrong with Tawnyrose if she thinks you can be trusted with one of those." But then he quiets down, nodding because yeah, he does get it. "Yeah, it was a lot the same with my apprentice, Zinniadream. I get that."
❧Margaysnap - Warrior - 28 Moons - Male - Kissingpaw (Cold Watch Syndicate)
paragraphMargaysnap trots along through the gathering, occasionally glancing down between his legs to where his littlest sibling, Leopardpaw, is following along. Soon a familiar scent is in the air, and he freezes, eyes widening as he whips his head in the direction it's coming from. "Hey, 'pard. You should go check out some other apprentices! Make some friends! I gotta go, I think I just found one of my old friends?" He laughs a little at the annoyed look his brother gives him, but dips down enough to rub foreheads with him, and then bounds off, eyes wide as he looks around for the familiar scent of Kissingpaw. It's been so long...
❧Oceangaze - Warrior - 38 Moons - Genderfluid - Snowfinch (IrisClan)
paragraphHe gives a soft laugh at her clear excitement, torn ears flicking absently. "I'm good, how are you?" He settles down next to her, nudging her softly in hopes that she'll catch on.❧Bluebellblink - Warrior - 19 Moons - Female - Bunchberrybloom (KeyClan), Papayapad (Celestial Beings)
paragraphLaughing softly, Bluebellblink smiles politely at the new stranger, one of her ears flicking as she absently watches poor Bunchberrybloom get back up to her paws. Then she addresses the tom. "Well, thank you for ffering to assist anyways, stranger. I'm Bluebellblink of IslandClan. And you are?"
❧Cicadapaw - Apprentice - 10 Moons - Male - Freesiapaw (Celestial Beings)
paragraphHe nods excitedly. "Yeah! Smogtongue sounds familiar, is that Cumuluscloud's mate?" Bouncing a little on his toes, Cicadapaw's tail brushes along the ground in a weird pattern behind him. "And Marlinkit, Eelkit, and Redkit all came from there! So their moms are in Celestials, I think?"
❧Leopardpaw - Apprentice - 8 Moons - Male - Walruspaw (Celestial Beings)
paragraphEyes widening like saucers in his skull, and he leans up a little bit closer. "Vampires? What're those?" He thinks he remembers Pampaspounce telling a story about something that sounded like vampire, but he didn't pay much attention to her story and therefore hasn't retained any of that knowledge at all.
KeyClan
❧Cypressstar - Ringmaster (Leader) - 58 Moons - Male - Rookstar (ChessClan)
paragraphCypressstar hums, smiling fondly. "The first Clowns born in KeyClan are just now over 20 moons, and while we have way too many at the moment, I'm excited for one of them to have kits. The first generation of kits born in Clan to Clanborn parents." He looks off into the distance with a wistful look, both excited at the thought of it, and a little bit terrified. Only Shadowmist seems like she'd make a good parent, but even that seems like a bit of a disaster.
❧Swiftwind - Trapeze Artist (Deputy) - 73 Moons - Male - Moonblossom (SloughClan)
paragraphSwiftwind sighs softly as he hears a voice near him, and slowly turns his head a little bit to try and focus on where he heard the soft voice. "Hello there, Moonblossom. I'm Swiftwind, trapeze artist of KeyClan." He pauses for a moment, mulling over his words before speaking up again. "I don't think I've heard of SloughClan before. What's it like?"
❧Weasel - Tamer (Med. Cat) - 47 Moons - Female - Poppypool (SloughClan)
paragraphWeasel beams up at the stranger, chuckling slightly at the water she seems shocked to be sitting here next to her. Baring her teeth in a grin, Weasel pops off. "No worries! I'm Weasel, tamer of KeyClan! What's SloughClan, is it fun? Do you guys have a lot of old twoleg things in your camp? What's a slough, anyways?" Her tail is lashing behind her with excitement, eyes wide and practically sparkily. Auletris isn't here to keep her in line, so Weasel has no qualms talking this strangers ears off.
❧Cerisepaw - Tamer In-Training (Med. Cat App.) - 15 Moons - Female - Karina (Elysian Dynasty)
paragraph--❧Flyingbison - Acrobat (Warrior) - 23 Moons - Non-Binary - Energyball, Almondjoy (VenusClan)
paragraphThe little tortoiseshell carefully picks their way through the gathering area, sticking close to their best friend's side. They've met lots of cool strangers at gatherings before, but they always came in running, and now they're being careful to take their time, actually taking in all the new smells.
❧Energyball - Acrobat (Warrior) - 21 Moons - Male - Flyingbison, Almondjoy (VenusClan)
paragraphThe little tabby presses closer to Flyingbison, more than a little weirded out at being at the gathering and not causing chaos right off the hop. If Pollen were here this time, he has no doubts that his sister would be mocking him for being so calm. But he promised his best friend he'd stay close, and if they want to take it calm this time, then sure he can handle that.
❧Bunchberrybloom - Acrobat (Warrior) - 17 Moons - Female - Bluebellblink (IslandClan), Papayapad (Celestial Beings)
paragraphThere are tears forming at the corners of her eyes, she can just feel it. Pulling in a shaky breath, the then stumbles her way up to her paws, giving the pair a wobbly smile. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to run into you too." She frowns a little bit at how Bluebellblink pretty much jumps at introducing herself, both jealous of losing the molly's affection, and jealous of how easily she can just talk to someone like that. She doesn't introduce herself as well yet, still too embaraced to give the stranger tom her name.
