cats in attendance;smogtongue, mumbloom, walrustusk, cinnamontang
smogtongue ♂ 55 moons (seraphim) - tags; cumuluscloud, open
the clan's younger seraphim had to mentally calm himself down repeatedly during the trip to the gathering this moon; satinstar had decided to stay behind with the refugees from eclipseclan, but he absolutely wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. plus, he had to see his mate, cumuluscloud; the black and white tom was the sweetest and most understanding cat in the world. back when smogtongue's littermate and best friend had died, smogtongue had fallen unfaithful to the love of his life and had a meaningless fling with a random molly named rootwillow, who ended up pregnant from the affair. luckily, cumuluscloud forgave smogtongue for the shameful act, and smogtongue had sort of just decided that he would never see the molly or their kit again since she lived in another clan so far from his own. but now with eclipseclan falling a part, the molly had come to the celestials to join with their kit and her other adopted kit, so the tom was forced to face his affair every day of his life. he had to talk to cumuluscloud, to let his mate know what had happened, and to get all of these nervous feelings off his chest. his orange eyes quickly spotted the tall form of his mate in a group of islandclan cats, and he quickly approached, calling out; "cumuluscloud! over here!"
mumbloom ♀ 20 moons (soldier) - tags; open (here for hawkbreeze)
(longhaired cream tabby w/ green eyes.)
walrustusk ♀ 28 moons (soldier) - tags; open (here for leopardleap)
(shorthair black tabby w/ white spotting, green eyes, & fangs.)
cinnamontang ♂ 15 moons (messenger) - tags; open (here for peppermintpaw)
it had been several moons since he had last seen his littermate peppermintpaw, and while it seemed like everyone else in the clan had given up hope of ever seeing the white and grey tom again, cinnamontang still held onto hope. he was the one who saw one of the angry spirits grab his littermate and drag him into the river; but a body had never been found, and so the cream tabby had to believe that his brother had managed to escape from the spirit. cinnamontang would say that his brother must have gotten away too far from the celestials territory and so was unable to make his way back, but he hoped that he would see his littermate again someday, if he found another clan to join and came to one of these gatherings with that clan. the shorthaired ticked tabby asked every single moon if he could attend the gathering to look for his brother, and while he wasn't always chosen, he was grateful that satinstar had allowed him to go this time, as it had been a few moons since he had attended last. his teal eyes scanned the crowd as he stepped into the clearing, praying to the angels above that his brother would be there somewhere.

cats in attendance;thornstar, noel, shellscute, marblepaw, snailpaw, oysterpaw
thornstar ♀ 75 moons (queen) - tags; open
the grey tabby molly hadn't been the one to attend very many of these gatherings before, but she knew that with everything going on in their clan right now, her mate mentally wasn't strong enough to attend as the clan's pharaoh. with everything that happened in their family lately, the oriental molly knew that her mate was holding on by a thread; their last litter of kits had been born with two of the three kits being disfigured in some way. and then the mates of three of their older kit's had lost two of their littermates and one of their parents, causing the extended family as a whole to go into mourning. shaking her head in an attempt to bring herself back to the present, she looked over the handful of cats that had wanted to attend this gathering with her, and offered a warm/comforting smile, particularly to the younger apprentices, as they entered the clearing. "remember to meet back up here at the end of the gathering. try to make friends and have a good time; this is the time to forget about current stresses and sadness." the molly watched each of her clanmates walk away from her and disappear into the whole of the gathering before she herself approached the rocky area where the other clan leaders sat.
noel ♂ 30 moons (enforcer) - tags; open (here for holly)
the ginger persian had taken up the back of the group as they traveled from the clan's camp to the gathering space, making sure none of the apprentices wandered off or got lost in the journey. the tom noticed that, as his clanmates all split up and went in different directions to find friends or family, the youngest cat that had come with them looked particularly nervous, and so noel gently nudged little snailpaw, licking him over the head in comfort as he offered a few words of encouragement; it seemed to be enough to encourage the white tom to slowly walk off himself, and noel watched him until he no longer could see him. a soft smile had found its way onto his face as he lifted his muzzle into the air, nostrils flaring as he searched for the familiar scent of the sahra kingdom cats, his blue eyes scanning the gathering space for the pretty bengal molly that held his heart.
shellscute ♀ 36 moons (hunter) - tags; open (here for quietcove)
the shorthair calico molly made sure to stay pretty close to her son's side as they made the trip to the gathering space; she had been there before in the past, but her apprentice-aged son had not, so this would be his first time attending. he had expressed nerves to her about attending, worried that some of the other cats may judge him or make fun of him for his bent tail, but shellscute had reassured him that he wasn't the only cat out there with unique looks, and that they were coming to see his father and sister, who for sure would not judge him. it had given him enough encouragement to ask thornstar if he could come to the gathering, but looking down at him now, she could see the fear in his eyes as he pressed up against her side, practically glued to her. she licked her son over the ear as she began to walk into the clearing in search of her mate and daughter, her words soft and comforting. "keep your eyes open for quietcove and coralpaw, okay dear? if your sister sees you before you see her, she may pounce on you." her tone was teasing at the end, but she had to force herself not to let out an audible sigh as her son shivered nervously from her words.
oysterpaw ♂ 10 moons (apprentice) - tags; open (here for coralpaw)
the small white and grey tom hadn't been very sure about attending the gathering, but his mother had been encouraging him to go for over a week, saying how his father and sister would be there and would want to see him. his biggest concern had been his tail, which was crooked from birth; no one in scarabclan made fun of him for it, since there were other cats with similar things like aeoniumpaw with his twisted paw. but oysterpaw worried that with so many cats around him at the gathering, his tail would stand out in a bad way, and someone would pick on him. so as he entered the clearing with his clanmates, he pressed himself tight against his mother's body for some sort of comfort, his eyes going wide; there were even more cats than he had thought there would be. at his mother's words about his father and sister, he let out an audible gulp, feeling his body start to shiver from the nerves. "okay mother." his tiny voice whispered out, his green-brown eyes trying to look as far as he could from his low stature.
marblepaw ♀ 11 moons (apprentice) - tags; open (here for bristlepaw)
the sweet grey oriental molly had been wanting to attend a gathering since before she was old enough to go, and finally she had been given permission by her mother and the clan's queen to attend. her excitement was through the roof but she was very good at keeping up a calm exterior, despite the bubbly feeling overwhelming inside of her. she was hoping that she would be able to see her lost brother, bristlepaw, who now lived in a clan called cloverclan, if she remembered correctly. if she saw him, their mother shrikewhistle wanted her to tell him how much she loved and missed him and how she hoped he was happy. the leggy oriental was the first one from her clan to dart into the crowd of cats once thornstar dismissed them, her blue eyes searching for the familiar pelt of her brother, occasionally calling out for him; "bristlepaw? bristlepaw!"
snailpaw ♂ 9 moons (apprentice) - tags; open (here for littermates)
the young tom was nervous about being the youngest cat from his clan attending the gathering, but he wanted to see if he could see his siblings from cloverclan again, so he knew it was worth the risk of all the uncertainties. he kind of paused at the edge of the gathering clearing as the rest of his clanmates wandered into the crowds, but he looked up as one of the older tom's nudged him and encouraged him to go on. he gave a tiny smile to the persian tom noel, and nodded his head slightly, puffing out his chest and holding his head high in an attempt to appear more confident as he walked towards all of the other cats. his yellow-green eyes kept scanning the crown trying to find any of the other pure white cats with greenish that could be his littermates rocketpaw, frostpaw, or emberpaw. he didn't know if any of them would be there, and he hadnt had any way of telling them he was coming, but he had hope to see at least one of them.
