♔ Riverstar
tom ; leader ; tags: angelstar
Riverstar purred at how friendly Angelstar was. They had a peculiar name, but he decided not to question it. He also wondered why they smelled of Twolegs, but for the moment he brushed that off as well. No use judging someone when you didn't know them yet.
"Pleased to meet you, Angelstar." He meowed, dipping his head politely. "I am Riverstar of VagaryClan. May I ask, what is a suburb? I don't believe I've heard that term before."

Fadedsun noticed the way that Otterfur's body stiffened, and the brief regret that lingered in his eyes, but it was over before he could mention it. Not that he had wanted to- it wouldn't do to force someone to talk about these things, especially someone who he wanted to be closer with. Instead, he tipped his head and spent a few moments in silence, mulling over his answer to his friend's question. "Well, I'm like Riverstar in the sense that I didn't know what a Clan was before I joined one. I was a housepet, you see- my name was Sonny." He stared at the ground with a soft smile, reminiscing for a heartbeat. "My housefolk, they grew herbs and plants of all kinds in their garden. My mother often used them to help the cats around the neighborhood if they got injured, because they didn't want their housefolk to know. No one wanted to risk a visit to the vet if they could avoid it." He flicked an ear in amusement. "So she taught me what she knew. And now, practicing medicine reminds me of her- I can help other cats the same way she did."
♘ Cedarbranch

Cedarbranch gasped and prodded Hollandmarch playfully. "Ooooh, a crushhhh! Come on kid, we won't tell- what do you like about him?" Before Hollandmarch could answer, he stood and started parading around the other two, his tail high. "Is it his eeeyes?" He blinked dramatically. "Or his soft fuuur?" He spun around in a slow circle, waving his tail in an attempt at elegance. "Or the way he laughs at all your jokes?" At this Cedarbranch rolled over on the ground, pawing at the sky and letting out an overdramatic, content sigh. Now he was laughing so hard he couldn't even get up, so he just rolled back onto his belly, snorting. "I-I'm so sorry," he choked out in between laughs.
♔ Brindlebirch
molly ; perma queen ; tags: mapleshadow
Brindlebirch smiled at Mapleshadow, her eyes lingering on her friend's for just a heartbeat extra. "I just think kits are, in a lot of ways, better than full-grown cats." She mewed with a wink. "Although, for an adult, I think you're quite lovely." She let the compliment settle for a few moments before continuing. "I appreciate it. And don't worry, no cat is a good mother until they have to be one. You only learn from experience." A nostalgic look appeared on her face. "Before I joined VagaryClan, I had to raise a litter of kits. They were my friend's, and they were beautiful. There were three of them- Butterfly, Holly, and Finn. Their mother..." Brindlebirch grimaced. "She abandoned them. A moon after she gave birth she ran off with their father, and I never saw her again. I don't know why. But I had loved them from the moment I saw them, and they needed someone, so... I took them in." She pawed the ground slowly, then raised her eyes back to Mapleshadow's. "That's a big reason why I chose to be a permanent queen. Not that I think any of the VagaryClan cats would abandon their kits, but I just want to be there to make sure all of them have their best chance."
✤ Swarmclaw
tom ; warrior ; tags: parrotwing
Swarmclaw, delighted that the other tom was just as excited as he was, purred happily.
"Nice to meet you, Parrotwing. I'm from VagaryClan." At these words he straightened himself proudly, despite the fact that he hadn't been a member for long. To be a good warrior he needed to show off how honored he felt to be a part of his Clan. He tilted his head with Parrotwing spoke again.
"TidalClan? I can't say I've heard of it. Are you guys a new Clan?" He asked, taking a seat.
❉ Lionleap
tom ; warrior ; tags: taureauwhisper
Lionleap puffed out his chest, well aware that Taureauwhisper couldn't see it, but much to proud not to do it anyway.
"Good to meet you, Taureauwhisper. I'm Lionleap, of VagaryClan. I do believe I've heard talk of ChessClan before- I think some of our cats know yours." He swept his tail across the ground, making a small amount of dust rise up. "And I know what you mean about having others there to look out for you. It's... well, it's important for any cat." He thought once again, with a bit of guilt, back to that day with Briarthorn where he'd been taught a lesson about working together.
"Is this your first Gathering? It's my first, and I have to say it's different than I expected."
☀ Flintfur and Springbird
tom and molly ; warriors ; tags: liontuft and featherpaw
Flintfur purred, gently bumping Liontuft's shoulder with his own. Springbird laughed along to Featherpaw's rambling, simply happy to be reunited with them.
"We're part of VagaryClan, and we go by Flintfur and Springbird now," Flintfur rumbled politely. "We figured a name change might... well, help us move on a little bit." Sadness tinged his voice.
"But we're glad to see you guys! And it's good to hear that Squirrelcall and Bloomwhisker are with you." Springbird mewed cheerily. She tilted her head, looking at them with curiosity. "SuburbClan is an interesting name. And you two smell of Twolegs. What's happened?"

☾ Night of the Stars
molly ; queen ; tags: crown of embers, tawnyrose
When Crown of Embers returned her bow, Night nearly let out a sigh of relief, as this meant she had conducted her first introduction correctly. But she knew she couldn't betray how nervous she really was, so she merely nodded in acknowledgement and gave a soft smile. This tom was intimidating, but certainly kind, and Night knew she had talked to the right cat.
"Please, call me Night. Both of our names seem to be a bit of, as you put it, a mouthful." She purred. When he mentioned her kingdom, anxiety briefly flashed through her pelt, as she didn't know how to explain that there really... wasn't a kingdom, at least not yet, and the fact that she had only just become queen (and not even by bloodline). She cleared her throat, and hoped that he wouldn't ask about either of those things.
"You would be correct. And I must say, it's a relief on my end to hear of another kingdom as well. Between you and me, I do believe that we hold ourselves at a... bit of a higher standard than regular Clan cats."
