duckclan arrives
attending: duckstar, marchsnow, clovermouse, flaxduck,
miragewater, cloudstripe, woodfeather, sandpounce
feel free to tag any cats that are open!

duckstar / female / 48m / the yellow guide / mate: littleink / tags: pebblestar (cloverclan)

duckstar wanted to clear her head. she tried to sit still and think like she usually would, but it was too cluttered with thoughts and she decided she should talk to someone to distract herself. she headed toward where the leaders were, taking notice of someone who didn't seem to be talking to anyone yet. "hello!" she called to them, approaching them. "i'm duckstar, from duckclan."

marchsnow / male / 49m / the blue guard (deputy) / mate: asterblizzard / tags: open

marchsnow wished he could've brought asterblizzard with him, but she insisted on staying back at duckclan to take care of their kit, and duckstar wanted him at the gathering. he wandered around the gathering area as he thought about asterblizzard and pinekit.

clovermouse / nonbinary / 25m / the green magician (med) / tags: honeycrisp (nox invictus)
he stopped looking at the sky. it had gotten less interesting the more he looked at it. instead, he looked at the cats. these were the other medicine cats, right? "hello!" he called. "does anyone want to talk to me?" he looked around. no one took him up on the offer, or maybe they didn't hear. he noticed a she-cat who seemed somewhat interesting (at least more than the other medicine cats) and greeted her. "hi! i'm clovermouse. i'm a green magician! literally! i'm green!"

flaxduck / male / 15m / warrior / relations: open, demipan / tags: bearstep (lightclan)
yes! someone who likes ducks! "lightclan! do you guys get a lot of light in lightclan? we have a lot of light in duckclan!" at least during the new leaf and greenleaf. it was cloudy more days than not in the colder seasons. "our pond is shady though, because there are trees."

cloudstripe / male / 24m / warrior / tags: featherchest (ravenclan)

cloudstripe watched his clanmates go off on their own to find others to talk to, then once they all scattered, he turned to the rest of the gathering, scanning the area for a certain someone. when he noticed her, he carefully made his way to her. featherchest! he smiled as he approached her. "featherchest," he greeted her, purring.

woodfeather / female (amab) / 31m / warrior / tags: open

woodfeather kept to herself. there were so many cats she was starting to feel a little lost.

miragewater / male / 35m / warrior / blind / tags: open

miragewater quickly found a place to sit down, not wanting to bump into others. he wished that he had asked someone to accompany him, and was starting to feel a bit lonely.

sandpounce / male / 45m / warrior / relationships: open, straight / tags: kurisu (opal's circus)
sandpounce's first gathering! these cats were from so many different places! he sat down and listened to the conversations around him, finding every word fascinating. he noticed someone pass by and before the opportunity to talk to someone could pass him by he approached them. "hello!" he offered him a smile. "i'm sandpounce, from duckclan."

Kitty's ears perked up to a cheerful voice. She whipped her head around. "Hi! I'm Eggnog!" Kitty took a large dramatic gasp. "You are adorable!!" She sang. "I'm Kitty! What clan are you from?" Kitty questioned, tilting her head.

He looked towards a voice. "Hi! I'm Kurisu, Opal's Circus." He gave a big smile and offered a seat next to him.

CHESSCLAN !!

ROOKSTAR || Roi || Tom || 51 Moons || Tagged: Sun’s Guiding Light (The Court of the Butterflies)

Rookstar's thoughts were in the clouds as he padded towards the Gathering. His son, Dauphinkit, was back at camp with his mate in their nest. Oh, what he wouldn't give to be at home with them at this very moment! Yet, he couldn't trust Chasmstar to lead the Clan alone at the Gathering. He recalled the images of her nose-to-nose with a strange tom that seemed eager to get under her skin. She had been prickling and snippy for nearly a quarter-moon after that encounter, and he didn't want that to happen again. As he thought, he remembered he had no jurisdiction of who she spoke with at a Gathering. While they might be pretending to be in love, she was no longer his mate. His heart gave a pathetic thump as he thought of Loutrepaw, Ourspaw, and Bouepaw preparing for their final assessments. He could only hope they would return home.
Time ticked by as the tom explained the instructions for the Gathering to any first-timers, and he was eventually left alone as all the cats rushed into the crowd with excitement. Romarintuft was practically leaping in the air as he dove into the Gathering, and Rookstar hooked a paw around the young tom's chest. "Calm yourself," he chuckled, and the young Cavalier nodded enthusiastically before rushing away. Rookstar simply sighed and turned into the Gathering, his eyes brightening as he spotted Sunlight. "It's been a minute," he chuckled as he padded up, eager to share with the tom the news of his son's birth. He was such a proud father, and he couldn't help the purr that practically burst from his chest.

CHASMSTAR || Dame || Molly || 42 Moons || Tagged: Marlon (Earthfall)

Chasmstar's entire body vibrated as she surged into the Gathering. She had eyes for only one pelt, and she sifted through the mass of cats until she spotted the eyes that made her blood boil. She wouldn't let him get the better of her this time, no she wouldn't. She stalked across the ground until she reached the tom, twisting around to run her thick tail underneath his chin in a greeting. "Hello, darling," she purred, her voice silky smooth yet dripping with all the venom she could muster. "I sure hope this past moon has brought as much misery upon your shoulders as it possibly could," she chirped brightly, as if she hadn't just blatantly insulted and wished harm on another cat. Her eyes were turned up in a wicked smile, and she winked at the tom before sweeping herself in a circle and sitting with her tail wrapped tightly around her paws. With one final action to complete her strange hello, she reached up with a paw and lightly tapped the tom's nose with a kit-like grin.

RICHTERSCREECH || Tour || Tom || 61 Moons || Tagged: Ivyblossom (SpruceClan)

Richterscreech stretched out his sore limbs, the bruises not yet faded from his skin. He moaned as he sat down, propping his newly healed leg to the side to relieve the pressure on his hip. "I'm not getting any younger," he chuckled to himself, not caring which cat in the group of deputies heard him. He rolled his head on his shoulders, noting the spots that gave the most resistance to his movements. He knew he'd need to stretch those spots a little more aggressively while he was on light duty for the next moon. It was a sheer miracle that Wolfwhiskers had cleared him for the Gathering, but nothing was going to hold Richterscreech back from another. As he looked around the group, he spotted a molly that caught his eye. She screamed "interesting" to him, so he approached her and padded into her line of sight. "Hello, there. My name's Richterscreech. Who might you be?"

WOLFWHISKERS || Fou || Tom || 66 Moons || Tagged: Emberspark (HazeClan)

Wolfwhiskers's pelt itched with excitement as he padded past Rookstar with as much dignity as he could muster. The long, tiring days of being the Fou took their toll, but he looked forward to the Gatherings with a passion. They were, after all, the place with the highest chance that he could see Emberspark at. He didn't understand why this molly had so essentially swept him off his paws in just a few meetings, but she had become a face he saw in his dreams. He wove through the cats with only one purpose in mind, paying no attention to the joyful family reunions or the excited meetings of mates that lived in separate Clans. He shouldered one such pair aside, muttering an apology, before he spotted Emberspark next to two other cats. Doubt clouded his judgement, making him falter and wonder if he should even approach her. Pushing the thoughts aside, he surged towards her with a small smile. "Emberspark! How strange to see you here," he joked, silently cursing himself for the sarcasm. He wasn't usually like this! He was supposed to be calm, composed, and quiet. He was supposed to be the grumpy Fou, but Emberspark undid all of that.

PAPILLONSHIMMER || Cavalier || Molly || 28 Moons || Tagged: Apisbumble (SloughClan)

Papillonshimmer shivered as she trekked towards the Gathering, cursing herself at having forgotten just how long of a journey it was. She was cold, miserably so, and she wished to be in her warm nest back at the camp. She could have been toasty between her sleeping clanmates if she hadn't offered to go to the Gathering. She could have had a warm meal when the sundown hunting patrol returned if she hadn't said yes to Rookstar's offer. She could have—
Her thoughts were stopped as the familiar sight of Apisbumble made a purr rise in her throat. She doubled her speed as she crossed the Gathering, making sure to approach Apisbumble in her full line of vision. She didn't dare startle her sister, especially since she believed it to be cruel to startle some cat as a joke. "Apisbumble!" she chirped, reaching her nose out in a greeting. She wanted to rub her forehead under her chin; she wanted to sniff every inch of Apisbumble to ensure the molly was not injured in any shape, form, or fashion. Yet, she restrained herself to a simple touch of the nose.

CRÉCERELLEFLIGHT || Cavalier || Tom || 53 Moons || Tagged: Morasspounce (SloughClan)

Crécerelleflight told himself over and over again that he wasn't searching for Morasspounce, but each time he chanted inwardly he could feel the doubt in his mind. He let out one long breath before letting his thin shield collapse, his eyes immediately roaming the crowd in search of her beautifully green pelt. He had once believed himself incapable of being happy after Soleilspots's passing, but Morasspounce had changed all that. He soared through the crowd, sniffing and eyeing every possible pelt until he exploded onto the other side. He panted as he recomposed himself, his heart falling as he realized he hadn't seen her. Maybe she just hadn't wanted to come this time around, he told himself. He chanted that she wasn't avoiding him as he sat down, but his hopes still sat delicately on
his paws. As he let his eyes fall, a flash of green caught his eye. "Morasspounce?" he called, springing to his paws.

ROMARINTUFT || Cavalier || Tom || 15 Moons || Tagged: Frecklenose (LightClan)

Romarintuft was oh so excited, having to restrain himself from bouncing up and down like a Pion. He flexed his claws into the ground as he scanned for a singular cat, hoping to spot someone around his age he could approach. As he scanned, he didn't even notice the molly collide. As he heard her yelp, he spun in a circle to apologize, but she beat him to it. "You're fine! I didn't even feel it to be honest. I think I'm too hyped up with the adrenaline of my first Gathering," he chuckled. He quickly chided himself for being so excited, wondering what the molly would think of him. His thoughts flitted to when his mother would scold him for getting so excited that he would destroy things, and his mood fell.

KATTER AV DEN FROSNE ØYA

MOOSESTAR || Dronning || Molly || 58 Moons || Tagged: Squirrelflash (Evergreen Park)

Moosestar stared at herself in the puddle, quickly grooming her ruffled fur as she scoffed. She wasn't about to attend the Gathering looking like she just rolled out of her nest, that was for sure. Yet, that was the truth of what had happened. She had spent much of the past moon in her nest with Aukkit, Dallkit, and Verglaskit. After the accident which resulted in her losing a life and two of her kits being severely injured, she would take no chances. Fierce motherly protective instincts flooded through her, temporarily distracting her. She spun, narrowly missing another cat with her tail. "I'm sorry," she meowed, noticing the cat was in the leaders area. "I'm Moosestar," she meowed quickly, introducing herself so as not to be rude.

OYSTERSNAP || Hertuger || Tom || 94 Moons || Tagged: Atlasrain (ChaosClan)

Oystersnap broke apart from Moosestar with a chuckle as she introduced herself, his slow steps carrying him towards a tom who seemed lost in thought. "You youngsters always have your heads in the clouds," he croaked, clearing his throat with a chuckle. He was getting on up there in moons, and he knew that he often sounded like a cranky elder. Yet, he was a Hertuger, and he would act as one. "I'm Oystersnap, Hertuger," he meowed the greeting, making sure to include his title beside his name so as to include no confusion. He offered the tom a thoughtful smile before he scraped a paw over his ear.

CROOKEDSTRIKE || Nedre Beskyttere || Molly || 31 Moons || Tagged: Mintnose (SpruceClan) & Greenflash (RavenClan)

Crookedstrike could do nothing except spin in a circle as she walked into the Gathering. She was pregnant, but she had yet to tell her Clan. She wasn't about to miss the opportunity of attending a Gathering, and hiding her pregnancy was the way to do that. She reached to her belly with a paw, a warmth spreading through her as she thought about her unborn kits. She couldn't wait to meet them, and thoughts of the milky nursery filled her mind. As she stumbled through the Gathering, she imagined her kits playing at her paws and demanding she decide which was the better hunter. She only wanted to be a good mother to them, and she sighed at the thought. Maybe she could even see their father while she was here today.

BELLMELODY & BOGBELLY || Lavere Jagere || Molly & Tom || 24 & 25 Moons || Tagged: Nutmegdawn & Peppermintcloud (IceClan)

Bellmelody leaned on Bogbelly with a sigh, looking up at the sky as they padded into the Gathering. "You're my best friend," she chuckled, biting back what she wanted to say. Despite how long she had known Bogbelly, she still wasn't able to admit her feelings for him. As she grappled with her feelings, Bogbelly flinched at the mention of friends. He wanted to be so much more to her, but he was disheartened at the thought of her only seeing him as a friend. "You're my best friend, too," he meowed, hiding the sorrow in his voice. As the two cats unknowingly pined for each other, they padded through the Gathering until they spotted a duo of cats to the side. "Hello!" Bellmelody meowed, kicking Bogbelly lightly until he called a greeting as well. She was always doing those kinds of things to him, and he could do nothing but laugh. She so thought he'd be a rude, inconsiderate tom if she didn't urge him to be polite and pleasant. He loved her still, despite how often she got on his nerves. Oh, he was so hopeless.

Her mate purred, mewing, "Leekstar told us to go make friends and allies for our Clan, love. Let's go do just that." The two brushed each other's flanks gently as they padded through the moonlit clearing, until they heard a voice call out, "Hello!" Peppermintcloud's pale blue gaze spotted the pair of cats who had called out first. Nudging his mate, the flame point tom led her to the two, mewing a cheerful "Hello!" as he did so.

briarstar -- leader -- she-cat -- tags: raptorstar(chaosclan)
briarstar had been searching for other leaders, and her eyes had found raptorstar, a leader which she had never met before. then again, she had only really met three other clan leaders. padding over to the tom, briarstar mewed, “hello, I’m briarstar of snowclan.”

frosteyes -- deputy -- tom -- tags: stagleap(lightclan)
for once, frosteyes laughed slightly, while smiling softly. this time, it was genuine. that wa s the first thing other cats usually asked - what’s it like there? - “snowy. cold. but we make do.” frosteyes mewed, then paused, “how about lightclan?”

glimpsebark -- med cat -- she-cat -- tags: owlglare(tidalclan)
deciding that she probably wouldn’t see the other medicine cat at the gathering, glimpsebark looked for other medicine cats. finding a she-cat a few ways away from her, glimpsebark walked over to owlglare slowly. “ha- hello.” glimpsebark meowed sheepishly, “I’m glimpsebark. what’s your name?”

lakedusk -- warrior -- she-cat -- tags: jayfur(hazeclan)
she bounced like a kit, “how’d you know? and yes! I’m lakedusk?” she said it as a question, peculiar, “who are you?” a bright smile was shown in the warrior’s face.

SPRUCECLAN
-----

IVYBLOSSOM | Deputy | F | 46 moons | TAGS: Richterscreech
Ivyblossom led the way into the clearing with head held high, feathery grey tail bobbing side to side in her wake. There were only three other cats accompanying her to the Gathering today. Most of SpruceClan had stayed behind to grieve the loss of Applefall, and those that had left camp were reprieve from the gloom. "Doing alright, everyone?" she called gently, turning to face her clanmates with a reassuring smile. "Try to have fun tonight. We could all use the distraction." Ivyblossom left them, then, slipping gracefully into the crowds and weaving between unfamiliar pelts in search of a conversation partner. She only had to wait among the other deputies for a moment before one found her. A tall tom cat, sandy-furred and sturdily-built, approached with an easygoing smile. Ivyblossom couldn't help but note how he was favoring one leg, but her attention was quickly called back as he introduced himself. "Pleasure to meet you, Richterscreech," she meowed, dipping her head politely. "My name is Ivyblossom. I'm the deputy of SpruceClan."

MINTFUR | Warrior | M | 38 moons | TAGS: Greenflash, Crookedstrike
As Ivyblossom left them, Mintfur spared a moment to check on the youngest cat in their number. "Will you be alright by yourss-self?" he asked her. Duskpaw didn't meet his eyes, but her timid nod was enough for Mintfur. "Have f-fun, Duskpaw." She looked up this time, tortoiseshell coat rustling with the movement, and did her best to smile. Mintfur smiled back, relieved, and turned tail to find who he was looking for. Greenflash and Crookedstrike were due any minute now. "Surely they're around here s-somewhere," he murmured to himself as he walked, keeping his eyes peeled for a familiar tabby pelt and a flashing set of green eyes.

DUSKPAW | Healer's Apprentice | F | 15 moons | TAGS: open!
Duskpaw gnawed at her lip, watching the cats around her with wide eyes. She'd never been to a Gathering without Applefall or Honeyfrost before. But Honeyfrost was mourning and Applefall was dead, so Duskpaw was the only one with a level head and a beating heart there to represent SpruceClan's healers. "Okay," she mumbled, eyes squeezed shut as she slowly tried to hype herself up. "Okay. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this." Still chanting quietly, Duskpaw plunged into the crowds.

BADGERSTRIPE | Warrior | M | 32 moons | TAGS: open!
There were a lot of cats here. Badgerstripe hadn't seen this many cats in one place before in... well, probably more than a year. Maybe that was why his paws were shaking and the eager chatter of strangers made his heart pound. He slunk around the edges of the Gathering, too curious to turn tail and run home, but too afraid to approach anyone for conversation. It was going to be a long night.


GOLDEN KINGDOM
-----

OTTER'S FANG | Royal Advisor | M | 76 moons | TAGS: open!
[ Otter's Fang is lurking around where the leaders and deputies gather. He looks bored, or maybe just sleepy. ]

SHADOW'S DANCE | Knight | NB | 43 moons | TAGS: Shadowgaze
Shadow's Dance yawned, jaw nearly unhinging, as they padded into the Gathering-place with half-lidded eyes. It had been many moons since they'd last been able to make it out to one of these silly little affairs, and for a moment, the black smoke had to fight back a sigh of disappointment. Their son was still back at the Kingdom, complaining of more pains in his injured leg, and Shadow couldn't deny that they wished little Raven could have come along with them, too. But this was no time to be moody or introspective! There were plenty of new cats here to meet. They could always have some father-son bonding later. As they wandered around aimlessly, a little slip of black fur caught their eye. "Hello, you!" Shadow called to the stranger, tail wagging just slightly. "Care to chat?"

RIVER'S MELODY | Knight | F | 32 moons | TAGS: open!
[ River's Melody is muttering to herself as she wriggles her way through the crowds. She seems distracted. ]

FOGPAW + PALEPAW | Squires | M + F | 10 + 8 moons | TAGS: open!
Both siblings stumbled into the clearing, but neither squire was paying any attention to the crowds around them. "I'm the oldest and the most responsible," Fogpaw said, chin tilted up imperiously. "That's why I'm in charge, so you have to listen and follow close behind. Mama said so." Palepaw merely sneered, swatting at her brother's much broader shoulder.
"Get off your high horse! I don't hav'ta listen to you! You're the one who thought feeding Shadepaw a worm would make his fur lighter!"
"Shut up!" Fogpaw hissed back, already puffing up with offense. Their bickering might have continued indefinitely had he not backed right into a rather tall stranger, who merely laughed as the two terrified squires shot off into the crowds, all pretense of argument forgotten.

duckclan arrives
attending: duckstar, marchsnow, clovermouse, flaxduck,
miragewater, cloudstripe, woodfeather, sandpounce
feel free to tag any cats that are open!

duckstar / female / 48m / the yellow guide / mate: littleink / tags: pebblestar (cloverclan)

duckstar wanted to clear her head. she tried to sit still and think like she usually would, but it was too cluttered with thoughts and she decided she should talk to someone to distract herself. she headed toward where the leaders were, taking notice of someone who didn't seem to be talking to anyone yet. "hello!" she called to them, approaching them. "i'm duckstar, from duckclan."

marchsnow / male / 49m / the blue guard (deputy) / mate: asterblizzard / tags: thistletuft (seaclan)
marchsnow wished he could've brought asterblizzard with him, but she insisted on staying back at duckclan to take care of their kit, and duckstar wanted him at the gathering. he wandered around the gathering area as he thought about asterblizzard and pinekit. while he was lost in thought, he accidentally bumped into someone else. "oh! sorry about that, i wasn't paying attention," he apologized. "my name's marchsnow.."

clovermouse / nonbinary / 25m / the green magician (med) / tags: honeycrisp (nox invictus)

he stopped looking at the sky. it had gotten less interesting the more he looked at it. instead, he looked at the cats. these were the other medicine cats, right? "hello!" he called. "does anyone want to talk to me?" he looked around. no one took him up on the offer, or maybe they didn't hear. he noticed a she-cat who seemed somewhat interesting (at least more than the other medicine cats) and greeted her. "hi! i'm clovermouse. i'm a green magician! literally! i'm green!"

flaxduck / male / 15m / warrior / relations: open, demipan / tags: bearstep (lightclan)

yes! someone who likes ducks! "lightclan! do you guys get a lot of light in lightclan? we have a lot of light in duckclan!" at least during the new leaf and greenleaf. it was cloudy more days than not in the colder seasons. "our pond is shady though, because there are trees."

cloudstripe / male / 24m / warrior / tags: featherchest (ravenclan)

cloudstripe watched his clanmates go off on their own to find others to talk to, then once they all scattered, he turned to the rest of the gathering, scanning the area for a certain someone. when he noticed her, he carefully made his way to her. featherchest! he smiled as he approached her. "featherchest," he greeted her, purring.

woodfeather / female (amab) / 31m / warrior / tags: fox that dances with fire (the court of butterflies)
woodfeather decided that she should talk to someone. eveninglight would want her to move out of her comfort zone. she spent a few moments hyping herself up, then shyly approached someone random. "hi!" she said. she was a little nervous, but she took a deep breath and said in her calmest voice, "i'm woodfeather, from duckclan." yes! she nailed it, without any stuttering either. eveninglight would be proud.

miragewater / male / 35m / warrior / blind / tags: open

miragewater quickly found a place to sit down, not wanting to bump into others. he wished that he had asked someone to accompany him, and was starting to feel a bit lonely.

sandpounce / male / 45m / warrior / relationships: open, straight / tags: kurisu (opal's circus)
sandpounce sat down, still smiling. the tom seemed to be nice. "i haven't heard of opal's circus before! is it nice there?"

[inky.]

RAVENCLAN

Featherchest; Cloudstripe

“Cloudstripe!” She shouted, rushing to the Tom and embracing him with a pure “I have such good news! Seed shine says she’s alright with our relationship!”

Greenflash; Mintfur

Greenflash’s belly was starting to hang low with kits. She caught a whiff of a familiar scent and purred with delight. Scouting out her mate, she sifted through the cats to find Mintfur.

Thistletuft - tom - deputy - a longhaired solid gray-and-white cat with yellow eyes - tagged; Marchsnow (DuckClan)

Thistletuft wasn't so keen on meeting his biological father, Vinescratch, again, and so, he had almost sprinted through the crowd of cats to reach where the deputies usually gathered. For the first time in moons, SeaClan had arrived to the Gathering early, and there weren't so many deputies sitting around in the clearing. He thought back to the last Gathering, when he and his sisters had finally hit the nail in the coffin, so to speak, with the gray-and-white tom who had no right to call them his kits, and let out a tired sigh. His claws became unsheathed automatically at the thought, and he retracted them consciously as he sat down near the base of the tree.

A cat bumped lightly into him and apologized, introducing himself as Marchsnow of DuckClan. The solid gray tom smiled politely, putting away his previous thoughts, and meowed, "No worries, friend. Happens to the best of us," he added kindly. He then introduced himself, inviting the other tom to sit next to him, "My name is Thistletuft, deputy of SeaClan. Pleased to meet you, Marchsnow of DuckClan."

Silverdapple - she-cat - medicine cat - a shorthaired black-based silver mackerel torbie with light amber eyes - tagged; Duskpaw (SpruceClan)

This was the second time at a Gathering, and still, Silverdapple was nervous. There was no Fadedsong to help her get along with others, since she was nursing her two mute kits ('Poor little kits,' she thought). Letting out a sigh, she nearly bumped into a younger she-cat and stepped aside just in time, meowing, "I'm so sorry. Did I step on you by any chance?" 'Great,' she groaned inwardly, 'what a way to start conversations.'

Nutmegdawn - she-cat - warrior - a longhaired black-based classic caliby Persian with brown eyes - tagged; Bellmelody, Bogbelly (Frosne), traveling with Peppermintcloud

Nutmegdawn purred at her mate, Peppermintcloud, as the pair made their way through the crowd of cats, "Looks like there's a lot of cats here tonight, love." Her mate purred, mewing, "Leekstar told us to go make friends and allies for our Clan, love. Let's go do just that." The two brushed each other's flanks gently as they padded through the moonlit clearing, until they heard a voice call out, "Hello!" Peppermintcloud's pale blue gaze spotted the pair of cats who had called out first. Nudging his mate, the flame point tom led her to the two, mewing a cheerful "Hello!" as he did so.

────────────────────────────────────────── ✦
cats attending: morningstar, amberlight, willapool, penguinpaw, cowpaw

morningstar
matron 33m ♀ - T: OPEN TO LEADERS


Morningstar stepped into the gathering, her chest puffed with confidence and pride. She had brought two apprentices this time, they were both looking around with wide eyes. She purred in amusement, it was their first time seeing this many cats in their lives. Morningstar licked her mate, Amberlight, between the ears before padding off to find some leaders to speak to.



amberlight
deputy 41m ♀ - T: OPEN


Amberlight let out a purr as her mate flattened the fur between her ears. She waved goodbye to Morningstar with her tail, and sat down where she had been standing. A soft breeze brushed its way through her thick fur. The scent of many, many cats hit the roof of her mouth as she looked around. Her leg was still achey from when she broke it a couple of moons ago, so she waited for another cat to approach her first.



willapool
hunter 25m ♀ - T: OPEN


Willapool stood under a low-hanging branch, shaking. So many cats... it was terrifying. She had been invited to come to the gathering, but only reluctantly agreed. Her curiously was stronger than her fear, for once. But now she wasn't sure. She absolutely did not want to talk to any other cat, she knew she'd mess up and make a fool of herself. She crouched down and wrapped her tail around herself.



penguinpaw
apprentice 7m ♂ - T: OPEN


Penguinpaw halted as the scents of all the cats hit him. Cowpaw was pulling on his stubby tail, trying to drag him forward. He stood, wide-eyed, staring out into the night. There was something glowing behind his eyes, betraying that he was seeing more than all the other cats were. A glitter of stars sparkled in the corner of his eyes.

He gulped.



cowpaw
apprentice 10m ♀ - T: OPEN


"C'mooon, Penguinpaw! Let's go! There's a bunch of apprentices over there, lets go play!" Cowpaw finally dropped the little stub of a tail that the other apprentice had. He was staring out at nothing, eyes glassed over. Cowpaw frowned. He was always so weird, why could a more fun apprentice come?

She left him to go find other, more fun apprentices to talk to.
