HIGHGARDEN
tawnyrose: queen, molly, she/her. tags: open
yewbloom: knight, tom, he/him. tags: forestfire + almondjoy
indentthough yewbloom walked through the gathering and felt the firm ground underneath his paws, his mind wandered back to highgarden's camp, where his mate and kits were, hopefully, sleeping peacefully. even the very thought of his family made yewbloom's heart skip a beat, and he smiled to himself while he wandered along the edges of the gathering, along the shadows that slipped from the trees. it was quieter, there, distanced from the hustle of larger groups. and it was there that yewbloom spotted a pair of younger cats speaking to one another, and he padded over to them. "hello, hi there. would either of you mind too terribly if i sat over here with you? i found that i'm not much in the mood to shuffle through the crowd like that tonight, but you both appear friendly enough. my name's yewbloom."
periwinklepaw: thorn, tom, he/him. tags: saved for granitepaw
indentover the moons, periwinklepaw had heard plenty about the gatherings from his clanmates and his father. clovershine and the other highgarden cats recounted stories of meeting some of their closest friends at gatherings, through meeting the great cats of other clans. hollandmarch talked about cedarbranch, while dippernose mentioned leopardheart and mapleshadow spoke of brindlebirch. it in intrigued periwinklepaw to no end and, at long last, tawnyrose offered the young tom a spot on the gathering patrol.
indentwhen the clearing opened up before periwinklepaw's eyes, he felt nearly overwhelmed, taken aback by how many strangers there were. and then he plunged in headfirst, giddy with excitement.

QUICKCLAN
cyanstar: leader, tom, he/him. tags: mountainstar
indentcyanstar, known to his friends and clanmates as a very optimistic and joyful tom felt as though he was walking on air as he made this way through the gathering. though he was sure that falconflight would make fun of his age, though his mate was even older than cyanstar, the lithe leader bounded ahead of the rest of his clan to find his usual spot among the other leaders. he offered several of the familiar leaders polite nods and bright smiles as he passed, picking his way through the different forms and scents as he went. it was only after cyanstar had settled that he recognized one of the other leaders' pelts, and he waved his tail at the other tom. "hi there, good evening," cyanstar greeted the other leader. "i'm sorry, this is going to sound so horrible, but i know i've seen you around here before, but i don't think i've ever caught your name. which is a real shame, we all should make a point to know each other at these gatherings, don't you think?" cyanstar flashed another smile and shrugged his shoulders. "my name's cyanstar, i'm the leader of quickclan."
