Halfmoon - leader - 46 moons - female - tags; silverstar [cascade]
Nervous couldn’t even begin to explain the whirlwind of emotions the new leader had been feeling this whole trip down the mountains. It was her first gathering, the first as a leader, the first without Mountainstar & Ivynose walking ahead of her. Now her clan-mates walked behind her, and Blizzardstorm to her side, trusting in her pawsteps. Oh how Mountainstar did so with an ever-calm presence made no sense to her now; she feared each decision, wondering if the choices made were the right ones. An almost exhausted sigh passed by the molly’s jaws, but a comforting nudge by the large white tom to her side brought a smile upon her face as her clanmates reached the gathering. Halfmoon at least knew she’d made the right decision when she announced Blizzardstorm her deputy. With the presence of Quailjaw close behind her, the dark furred leader made her way through groups of strangers, heading towards the area the other leaders usually occupied. Turning slightly to allow the warrior ahead of her, Halfmoon took a breath and followed, willing her nerves to ease as the two approached another pair.

Blizzardstorm - deputy - 43 moons - male - tags; open
[he’s scanning over the gathered cats and keeping an eye on his leader, despite his large form he has a friendly presence]

Lilybloom - healer - 51 moons - female - tags; open
[making her way through to the healers area, and though smelling of noticeable herbs she seems a little more .... intimidating than most healers]

Quailjaw - warrior - 36 moons - male - tags; shoreabranch [cascade]
The tabby warrior was excited, it had felt much too long since he'd last seen his new companion, and he'd been dreaming of exploring the cove and finding the strange creature with a hole in its head; even he could laugh at how ridiculous it sounded. Quailjaw was quick to take over from Halfmoon as his leader slowed in her uncertainty, nose lifted slightly to catch the familiar scent he'd already become so used to in the past gathering. It didn't take too long for the tom to catch sight of the grey and white dappled coat he'd been searching for, his brown tail swayed in a greeting as he lead Halfmoon towards the molly and her nervous-seeming companion, whom Quailjaw guessed was her clan's leader. It was hard to quiet his purr upon reaching the two, muzzle gently brushing the soft furr on Shoreabranch's cheek as a more intimate greeting. "A part of me was worried the water 'dragon' had gotten you", Quailjaw's voice edged with playfulness as he pulled back from the molly, happy to have found her among the crowds.

Coypond - hunter - 28 moons - female - tags; yewclaw [pinewatch]
With a gentle nudge, the calico she-cat urged her apprentice forward into the clearing filled with gathered cats from all over, chuckling to herself at the calm mask they'd manage to portray, though he couldn't fool her watchful eyes. Shaking her head in amusement and fondness of her apprentice, the hunter turned to glance around the outskirts of the bustling gathering. She'd lost count of how many of these gathering she had now attended, the first moons ago as a young to-be frightened of how big the world now seemed. The small smile upon the molly's face turned a little sad as she caught sight of Halfmoon & Quailjaw, it had been odd being lead down the mountain path by the black & grey she-cat, her presence replacing the one of Mountainstar many of her clanmates had grown used to following behind. A surprised mrrow sounded from the hunter as she found herself nearing a familiar feline, head tilting to examine the tom a little closer. With an amused huff, the molly approached quietly and settled beside the grey pelted tom. "Well, you definitely seem in a little bit of a better mood compared to last gathering, Yewclaw".

Rainpaw - warrior-to-be - 9 moons - male - tags; open
[excitable but nervous, and glancing around with wide eyes at all the strangers]

Creampaw - hunter-to-be - 12 moons - male - tags; open
[a little more tame than their companion, sitting idly by in the sidelines, content to watch as strangers pass]

[amethyst14]

Loststar - Leader - Houndstar of Breezeclan
"Do you have traveling herbs? Our medicine cat gave them out when needed to the cats that complained a lot and it seemed to have help. We don't come every gathering either, too much going on for me to worry about the gatherings and I sure am glad Starclan does not mind that." Loststar smirked. The leader was happy to hear that his journey was a small one, maybe he would throw that seven day trip at the complaints next time.

Jadegaze - Deputy - Starlingflight of Hazeclan
He could relate to the need of having a break from his duties, "Honestly, a break is a good thing. Even if it's not a full one." Loststar had asked him in private to help keep an eye on the cats coming so they don't create fights. "How is your clan doing these days?" He asked.



Featherpool - Medicine Cat - open
The grumpy medicine cat scanned the clearing, great. So many cats. "Mouse brained leader... don't know why I have to be here. I already go to the medicine cat meetings, I don't want to do these ones.." The molly grumbled to herself as she weaves through the growing crowd of cats. She wasn't headed in any particular direction, not much caring for these types of things.



Peachblossom, Berryblossom, Springblossom- Warriors - Briarthorn of Vagaryclan
Peachblossom was the one to talk for them, "We are all from Stormclan, what about you?" Berryblossom scanned the clearing, noticing a lot more cats have arrived and looked around for anything interesting. Springblossom wasn't listening much to Peachblossom as she listened to things going on around her, "Lots of cats introducing themselves, and it seems like it's an apprentice's first time. Sticking to their mentor like cobwebs." She informed the others. Berryblossom also noted "Lots more cats have arrived since we have, they should hurry and get with the conversation making." "Oh!" Springblssom meowed and flicked her tail in the direction of the cats she was talking about this time, "It looks like that family of cats are not in the same clan." She whispered.

"What? That's so strange, wouldn't it be better for them to live in the same clan? Won't Starclan get mad at them?" Peachblossom chimed. Berryblossom shrugged, "What do you think Briarthorn?"

Genetpelt - Warrior - Oak with Frosted Roots of Court of the Butterflies
Genetpelt shrugged, "Mind if I sit?" He asked, even though he didn't wait for a reply and sat next to her anyways, pelts almost touching. "I just started clan life after being a loner for some time. I wasn't alone completely though because I had my best bud Anemonepoint, but he's not here right now. I never knew that there was such a thing as gatherings, there's so many cats here and I'm supposed to talk to cats here from what I've heard." The tom stopped himself from going on like he would normally do, "What clan are you from?"

[Kazin]

Nox Invictus




Fluffy -- leader -- she-cat (she/her) -- 28 moons old -- OPEN


it was going to be hard to keep coming back each moon, but Fluffy was determined to build up relationships with other clans. There was no telling when she would need allies to help fend off attackers...



Watcher -- deputy -- nonbinary (they/them) -- 34 moons old -- Marchsnow (DuckClan)

Tentatively returning the newcomer's smile, Watcher found themself gaining a little confidence... thankfully. Not all cats were bad, this was something they were still learning slowly. "Greetings," they said, bowing their head slightly. "Watcher is my name, deputy of sorts of some clan called Nox Invictus. We live on a Twoleg farm, but we mostly stay away from them and only come out at night or as needed." They took a slight pause, allowing themself to sit back. "Where is DuckClan located?"




Honeycrisp -- healer -- she-cat (she/her) -- 27 moons old -- OPEN


always loving the smell of herbs in the air, Honeycrisp wandered over to what seemed to be a group of other medicine cats. She waited patiently for her turn to speak, enjoying listening to the soft sounds of conversation for the moment.



Thunder -- warrior -- tom (he/him) -- 22 moons old -- Leafgale (VagaryClan)

Thunder couldn't help himself from jumping slightly at the voice, not truly expecting someone to seek him out. He, however, offered his own smile in return, feeling slightly at ease at the gentle smile the cat offered. "H-hi," Thunder nearly whispered, wincing internally at the choice of his name for such a soft-spoken cat. He cleared his throat, giving himself a slight nod of confidence. "I'm Thunder, from Nox Invictus. It's nice to meet you."

HIGHGARDEN

otterfur: fmr. knight, tom, he/him, 107m. tags: fadedsun + jasminepaw
indent"i highly doubt that, you're one of the most skilled medicine cats there is, vagaryclan needs you," otterfur said, only to purr at fadedsun's teasing. jasminepaw let out a teasing groan:
indent"ticks? gross, dad!" she said, sticking out her tongue. otterfur cuffed her ear gently before shrugging his shoulders at fadedsun.
indent"i'm sure irispaw would be a great help," he said, only to scoff. "you always tell me how much you love my stories. my wisdom is going to help turn these highgarden kits into worldly, educated knights and roses. it'll be all because of me." when the teasing and laughter had slowed, otterfur paused before leaning down to lick jasminepaw's forehead. "i mean, i'll have more free time now. i could come to vagaryclan more to visit you and the kits, and jasminepaw can come with me when hurricanejaw's done with her in the mornings. it'll be nice and peaceful, i think. an adjustment to slow down, but i've been looking around at the younger cats in highgarden, and i realized how long its been since i was their age." otterfur smiled wistfully, self-indulgent. "i want to be here for our family."

veerypath: knight, tom, he/him, 32m. tags: stallion's canter
indentwhen the other cat agreed to take the seat beside him, veerypath offered a small smile. he figured that this company wouldn't be too bad to pass the time with. "i could use some peace right now, that's for sure," he said, unsure if it was directed inwardly or towards the stranger. but he shook off the thought, opting instead to let out an acknowledging hum. "we did, now that i think about it. our leader said it'd be worth it, so i sure hope that she gets what she wanted out of the gathering. my name's veerypath, and i'm from highgarden. it's in a valley a good deal off. where are you from?" he asked.

buttercupnose: knight, tom, he/him, 21m. tags: melpomene stud kit squad
indentwhile the other highgarden cats split off in different directions, buttercupnose hung back from the rest of the group, unable to help but feel a pang of regret that one of his siblings wasn't with him. with primrosebriar in the nursery, maplefrost never leaving her side, and asterblink stepping up with more patrols, buttercupnose knew that it might be good for him to split off and doing something for himself, for one night. even still, it wasn't until he arrived at the gathering that he realized it might have been a step too far out of his comfort zone. he wasn't confident like his littermates, and he didn't have any established friends or family in other clans that made it feel easy to fit in. it was with all of this in mind that buttercupnose lingered on the edge of the gathering, teetering between wanting to find a friend, and wanting to keep his head down for the rest of the night. the cream tom curled his tail around his paws in consideration.

geyserbloom: rose, molly, she/her, 17m. tags: renegade stud kit squad
indentgeyserbloom had always been the most outgoing of her littermates, though their mother always joked that it must have come from her father's side of the family - riverfoam was boisterous only with her friends, and reserved when in big company. the thought of attending her first gathering excited geyserbloom, and she weaved comfortably through the crowd, more than happy to take in all of the sights and scents of the strange clans, trying to identify any that might be even slighly familiar. though the thought lingered in geyserbloom's mind that she might come across her father, or, even, a half-sibling, drizzlestone's warning of caution also stuck with geyserbloom to not get her hopes up. drizzlestone had never been interested in meeting renegade, and even the mention of their father made drizzlestone turn up her nose.

jasminepaw: thorn, molly, she/her, 6m. tags: fadedsun + otterfur

QUICKCLAN

cyanstar: leader, tom, he/him, 68m. tags: sea stride
indentthe lithe quickclan leader had seen more than his fair share of gatherings in his time. though the tide of warriors and unfamiliar pelts was ever-changing, the rhythm offered a familiarity that left cyanstar feeling oddly comforted. the greenleaf night's breeze warmed through his pelt as he claimed his place along with the other leaders, his bright blue eyes wide with the curiosity of a cat half his age. he nodded politely to the nearest leader, another tom. "good evening, i don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting. my name's cyanstar, and i'm the current leader of quickclan. how have you been?" he asked kindly. he drew one paw over his ears, smoothing out his fur. "i, for one, am so excited to have some warm weather. you're young, but my old muscles need the warmth," he said with a hint of a laugh running through his tone.

splashfall: deputy, tom, he/him, 72m. tags: open
indent

autumnflower: med. cat, molly, she/her, 36m. tags: halepen
indentautumnflower sat slightly away from the other medicine cats, grooming her ears as she listened to bits and pieces of conversation. when another cat approached her, however, she looked up, blinking her blind blue eyes curiously. "hi there," she greeted kindly in return, sweeping her tail over her paws. "based on your tone, i have a feeling that it might be the case. is there something i can help you with? what's your name?"

plumblossom: warrior, tom, he/him, 36m. tags: ryeheart
indentit had been some time since plumblossom had been able to attend a gathering. even though siskinskip had been a great apprentice, no doubt, mentoring took even more work than plumblossom expected. it was only now that siskinskip passed her assessment and received her full name that plumblossom was ready to take the journey to the gathering again, with the hope resonating deep in his chest that he might, maybe, just maybe, see ryeheart again. it felt like a lifetime ago when they first met and became friends. he wanted to know how she was, how her apprentice had been faring. he wanted to tell her about siskinskip, and he hoped that she might be proud of him, despite the difficulties along the way. he wondered if she would understand the way being a mentor made him reevaluate his skills and merits as a warrior. a part of him knew that, no matter what, ryeheart would understand him in a way that no one else ever could.

siskinskip: warrior, molly, she/her, 13m. tags: oakpelt
indentso much had changed since the first time siskinskip came to a gathering with plumblossom. she was older, now, taller, and with a new name. she knew that, if she voiced her thoughts aloud, plumblossom would tease her and say that she certainly hadn't become any wiser, but there was a piece of siskinskip that felt nostalgic for when she was just barely an apprentice. then, the world had seemed so much larger and more vibrant. she still felt energy thrum in her paws when she gazed out around the hollow. when siskinskip hesitated from following him deeper into the gathering plumblossom turned back towards her. but there was a twitch in his whiskers that siskinskip saw and understood. she grinned at her former-mentor. "i'll catch up with you," she said. "my paws are a little sore from the walk, i'll find you later."
indenttrue to form, plumblossom rolled his eyes at her. "you're a warrior, now. your paws aren't supposed to be sore," he teased, but siskinskip didn't miss the affection between his words. she blinked warmly at him.
indent"go on, you elder. i'll catch up." when he had gone, siskinskip took her time to sit and groom her paws while listening to the fragmented conversations in the nearby vicinity.

It was her first gathering, the first as a leader, the first without Mountainstar & Ivynose walking ahead of her.

Blizzardstorm - deputy - 43 moons - male - tags; splashfall [quickclan]
It didn't take very long for the large white tom to grow tired of sitting around, keeping an eye on Halfmoon. The deputy raised from his place with a small groan, stretching out his legs tired from the journey down to the clearing, and set off into the cluster of strangers. Blizzardstorm managed his way through to where other deputies mingled, and making sure he could still see Halfmoon nearby, the tom turned to converse with another closeby. "I hope you don't mind the company, I'm Blizzardstorm of Moonclan".

Lilybloom - healer - 51 moons - female - tags; honeycrisp [nox invictus]
The tall molly settled among the group of conversing healers, a respectful nod given to each who looked her way as a greeting. Though it seemed she was content to stay quiet, her gaze caught sight of the smaller healer to her side, and it didn't take long for a gentle smile to pass over her stoney expression. The younger molly seemed around the same age as Lilybloom's past apprentice, though appeared to carry a much lighter spirit. "Hello there, I take it you're the healer of your group"?

Quailjaw - warrior - 36 moons - male - tags; shoreabranch [cascade]

The tabby warrior was excited, it had felt much too long since he'd last seen his new companion, and he'd been dreaming of exploring the cove and finding the strange creature with a hole in its head; even he could laugh at how ridiculous it sounded. Quailjaw was quick to take over from Halfmoon as his leader slowed in her uncertainty, nose lifted slightly to catch the familiar scent he'd already become so used to in the past gathering. It didn't take too long for the tom to catch sight of the grey and white dappled coat he'd been searching for, his brown tail swayed in a greeting as he lead Halfmoon towards the molly and her nervous-seeming companion, whom Quailjaw guessed was her clan's leader. It was hard to quiet his purr upon reaching the two, muzzle gently brushing the soft furr on Shoreabranch's cheek as a more intimate greeting. "A part of me was worried the water 'dragon' had gotten you", Quailjaw's voice edged with playfulness as he pulled back from the molly, happy to have found her among the crowds.

CHESSCLAN !!
ROOKSTAR - Tom - 54 Moons - Roi - Tagged: Minkstar (PineClan)

Rookstar could feel the gentle breeze whisking through his fur playfully, almost dragging him along as his paws pounded across the ground. The pull towards the Gathering was almost unbearable, and he turned his head to watch his clanmates as he ran faster and faster towards the familiar sight. He burst into the clearing with a large leap, soaring down the edge of a hill before skidding to a halt. His chest heaved as he fought to catch his breath, and his eyes were wide with a wild excitement. This was the kind of feeling only a truly wild and free cat could feel, one that a kittypet could never even begin to imagine existed. He threw his head around to look for his Clan, and he watched them stream over the hill in a more civilized manner. "Darling, please don't embarrass us," he heard Chasmstar hiss in a mocking manner, and he turned his nose up. He had no problem denouncing their mateship now, and he was not afraid of the consequences of their breaking their vow to ÉtoileClan. Pure and utter hatred filled his body, and he turned to spot a familiar pelt in the crowd. "Minkstar! So good to see you again," he called as he padded up to her, raising his tail in a friendly, yet respectful, greeting.

CHASMSTAR - Molly - 45 Moons - Dame - Tagged: Wolfsnarl (Pinewatch)

Chasmstar shook her head in disbelief as Rookstar galloped towards the Gathering. He was making a fool out of himself and the Clan, and she would have no part in it. She raised her tail and flicked it, signaling her Clan to follow her lead instead of his. She huffed as she led the Clan in a steady trot into the Gathering, eyes locked onto Rookstar's gasping form as he looked around the crowd of cats. "Darling, please don't embarrass us," she sneered, flicking him with her tail as she padded by slowly. He turned and quickly bounded off towards a cat she supposed he found familiar, but she was left standing alone in a sea of leaders. She recognized many faces, but all of the familiar ones were chatting it up with other leaders. There was also the fact that speaking to cats of a rank beneath herself was highly against Chasmstar's beliefs, so she padded up to the nearest leader and introduced herself. "Chasmstar, Dame of ChessClan," she meowed, her title rolling off her tongue as familiarly as her name. She may have angered ÉtoileClan with her no longer taking Rookstar as her mate, but she was still the Dame in all aspects and would continue to be so until she was struck down.

RICHTERSCREECH - Tom - 64 Moons - Tour - Tagged: Lycan (HazeClan)

Richterscreech rolled his eyes as Chasmstar and Rookstar silently bickered, but that was the new normal for them. He stood at a distance until all of the clanmates in their group had paired off before he searched for a friend for himself. As he wove between the brightly and darkly colored pelts, he could feel his eyes searching for any of his former mates or flings. He always enjoyed catching up with them, but he froze when he spotted a cat with a pelt that seemed so familiar. "Excuse me, I'm Richterscreech," he meowed, approaching the stranger. Her fur smelled like that of Pumpkin's, so he knew she must have come from the same Clan. "You wouldn't happen to know Pumpkin, would you?" he meowed, clinging to the tiniest thread of hope that she could be the daughter of the molly he had helped to have a family. His and Pumpkin's relationship had been neither fling nor mates, but more of an understanding that Pumpkin wanted a family and he could provide that. He had almost been a surrogate, but there was nothing wrong with that. He still loved Pumpkin in his own way, and he was always so excited to meet his kits for the first time. There sure were plenty out there that he'd never met.

WOLFWHISKERS - Tom - 64 Moons - Fou - Tagged: Smokefur (The Fallen)

Wolfwhiskers watched Richterscreech as they entered the Gathering, but he also kept a close eye on both Godivapaw and Tournesolpaw. The two young apprentices were giddy with excitement, and he wanted no part in the antics they would surely be in tonight. He fluffed his pelt out and padded away, snorting and huffing as he reached the gathered group of healers. Most had already formed pairs or groups to chat with, but he spotted one cat sitting by themselves. "Hello, I'm Wolfwhiskers," he meowed, his voice monotone and emotionless. He had grown leaps and bounds through Faonpaw and Emberspark, but he still wasn't ready to shed the hard and rocky exterior around complete strangers. He sat down, and he began to nibble at stones underneath his claws and in his pads. "I traveled a long way to get here, so my paws are sore beyond belief. Never gets any easier," he meowed, his voice lifting with annoyance and weariness. He only hoped this tom would not turn him away.

GODIVAPAW - Tom - 11 Moons - Apprenti - Tagged: Cocoapaw (HazeClan)

Godivapaw was bouncing up and down, slamming into Tournesolpaw's side, and spinning in circles as they neared the Gathering. As if on cue, Rookstar took off at a full sprint, and Godivapaw turned towards Chasmstar for permission to follow. She immediately raised her tail, and Godivapaw hung his head as he had to slow to a trot behind the Dame. "She's no fun. I just want to get there already!" Godivapaw hissed under his breath towards Tournesolpaw. The tom quickly turned away, and Godivapaw was left to pout as they reached the Gathering. He stumbled over his paws as he saw how grand the place truly was, and he quickly slid down the hill towards the apprentices. As he came to a stop, he bumped gently into a molly and watched her with large eyes. "I'm sorry, I don't really know what I'm doing. It's my first Gathering you see, and I'm oh so excited! My mother told me that I might meet more kits of my father, Caesar here. She said he had many, and I just thought it would be grand to meet some half-siblings of mine! Do you know any of his?" he rambled quickly, eyes wide as he looked at here with sheer joy and excitement. He hoped he hadn't scared her, and he spun around to chew anxiously on his claws before spinning right back to face her and smiling. His smile, however, showed just how nervous he really was to be here.

TOURNESOLPAW - Tom - 7 Moons - Apprenti - Tagged: Geyserbloom (Highgarden)

Tournesolpaw was shaking as Godivapaw spun in circles near him. The tom was so excited and kit-like that it was unfair, and he just dropped his eyes. He was barely an Apprenti, only a moon out of the nursery. Godivapaw was going to be taking his final assessment next moon, and the difference between the two was as clear as night and day. "She's no fun! I just want to get there already," Godivapaw meowed, and Tournesolpaw made it a point to turn away from him. The tom fell into a disheartened silence until they reached the Gathering. At that moment, Tournesolpaw was left standing alone as Godivapaw had hared away into the crowd. Tournesolpaw was much more uneasy, and he was lost and confused. He had seen Godivapaw go towards the other apprentices, but he couldn't quite figure out how to get there. He was lost in the crowd of warriors, and he stumbled over several paws until he sat on a molly's tail. "I'm so sorry, but I think I'm lost," he meowed, eyes wide as he looked up at her. He was nervous beyond belief, and he couldn't quite figure out if she was going to be upset or kind.


KATTER AV DEN FROSNE ØYA !!
MOOSESTAR - Molly - 64 Moons - Dronning - Tagged: Open

Moosestar held her paw against her belly as she reached the Gathering. She'd been told she was pregnant on the way there, but she hadn't had the time to appoint Skuasoar to fully take her place. Tears dripped from her eyes as she sat down a little ways away from every cat. Rollingfog was gone, and Moosestar knew that her heart had gone with her. Sablefrost had not been sighted on the borders, and her paws itched to take vengeance on the tom who had taken the love of her life from her. Her shoulders trembled as she curled into herself, knowing the kits she was carrying were supposed to be the family she and Rollingfog were going to start together. She shook her head as she laid down, resting her chin on her paws as she watched the Gathering. Her Clan seemed to be getting along just fine, and so she willing traveled into her memories to see Rollingfog's gentle eyes again.

SKUASOAR - Molly - 69 Moons - Hertuginne - Tagged: Berry Scorched by Flames (Court of the Butterflies)

Skuasoar kept a close eye on Moosestar as they traveled. News of her pregnancy had spread like wildfire, but Skuasoar was more concerned about her Dronning's health after losing Rollingfog so recently. She should never have come to this Gathering, but Moosestar had this habit of ignoring what was best for her. As Skuasoar watched her settle down away from the cats, she warily padded towards the deputies and similarly ranked. "My name is Skuasoar, one of the council of Frosne," she introduced herself to the first cat she stumbled upon. Something about the cat made her uneasy, but she put that towards them being a stranger. All strangers made her nervous, so it was clear this one would as well. The molly shook out her fur and settled down, her paws and limbs aching from the long journey she had just made. It was clear to her now why only one of the council made the journey, and why one didn't go two moons in a row.

MAPLESONG - Molly - 69 Moons - Helbreder - Tagged: Solsticestand (Highgarden)

Maplesong looked at Tombecho with worry as Moosestar lowered herself to the ground. "I'm worried about her. She'll need to spend a few nights in our den when we get back to camp," she meowed before padding into the gathered group of healers. She rubbed her fur against Tombecho's side as a farewell before she turned towards the nearest molly. This molly smelled of Highgarden, a Clan Maplesong had encountered before in passing, but she seemed new. "Hello, I'm Maplesong. Are you new?" she asked boldly, wondering what had happened to the previous healer of the Clan. She settled down next to her as she stretched her joints, knowing she wouldn't need to be making the trek for another three moons at least. This journey was not easy on any cat, and it astounded her that Moosestar could do it every moon without fail. "Sorry if that was a little too blunt," she chuckled, her eyes quickly noting where Grizzlypaw was. Her son was a bundle of joy, and it was obvious he was looking for more kits of Brownie's.

TOMBECHO - Non-binary - 57 Moons - Helbreder - Tagged: Petrelhop (WheatClan)

Tombecho padded alongside Maplesong, occasionally leaning against the molly for warmth. It was hard sometimes, having no fur while living in one of the coldest climates. They leaned closer as Maplesong murmured, "I'm worried about her. She'll need to spend a few nights in our den when we get back to camp." Tombecho nodded, knowing that Moosestar would work herself to the bone if they didn't stop her. Now that the Dronning was pregnant again, it was supposed to be a joyous time. Yet, every cat was on edge after Rollingfog's death and the disappearance of Sablefrost. Tombecho shivered, and Maplesong pressed against them as a farewell. Tombecho split from the other Helbreder before they padded up to a stranger. "Hello," they meowed softly, quickly reaching down with their teeth to tighten the cloth wrapped around one of their legs. It was strange, that was for sure, but Tombecho had always had these cloths to keep them warm.

GRIZZLYPAW - Tom - 12 Moons - Lærling - Tagged: Neptunepaw (ShoreClan)

Grizzlypaw shivered as he padded into the Gathering, eyes whipping this way and that. He watched his mother, Maplesong, for the longest time until he couldn't see her anymore. He was nervous beyond belief, worried that Sablefrost might be lurking behind any tree or cat. His paws trembled as he stumbled towards the apprentices, and he nearly collapsed against one. "I'm so so sorry, I just can't seem to stop shaking," he mumbled, his voice tripping and sliding across the words as he slowly raised his eyes. This cat seemed oddly familiar, and his eyes widened in disbelief. "Your father wouldn't happen to be Brownie, would he?" he asked quickly before doubt could override his hopes. Grizzlypaw had put on a brave face for his mother, and that brave face was now becoming real as hope to find a half-sibling shone through his body.


THE ORDER OF THE HYENA
HYENA'S BREATH - Molly - 30 Moons - Matriarch - Tagged: Fluffy (Nox Invictus)

Hyena's Breath padded into the Gathering alone, eyes narrowed as she scanned for the leaders. A group of cats that radiated power and respect caught her eye, and she padded towards them with her nose in the air. She quickly stepped towards the first one she saw and peered at them. "My name is Matriarch Hyena's Breath of the Order of the Hyena," she introduced herself formally and stiffly. She wouldn't show weakness here, and she wouldn't find allies. She would only find enemies and those who didn't deserve to be enemies. She peered at this cat, wondering which they might prove themselves to be. She was large, strangely so, and she made sure to keep her stance broadened so as to continue to be as menacing as she could be. After the drought, she was the only one who had survived. She would need more cats in the Order soon, but she might as well feel out the other Clans while she was here.

Bristle heard someone calling his name, and oddly enough the voice was familiar. The second he released who it was he ran over a top speed with his tail flicking excitedly. “Marble” he yelled “I missed you so much”

Rocketpaw Emberpaw Frostpaw-female-seedlings-tags: snailpaw

Rocket, ember, and frost walked together hoping to see the pearly white fur of snail among the clan cats. “Let’s split up” ember had suggested. But her two sisters didn’t like that idea. Just as the three where about to start arguing they saw him. Frost’s eyes grew wide as she ran at he brother. Rocket looked down at her paws and ember just smiled.

[Vaporeon03]

Textreader - Cis Female - 26M - Leader - Feralstar/Coalstar
A cat began speaking to her, introducing themselves. How wonderful. Textreader was about to start responding when another cat crashed right into her. Textreader spun around, hiding her surprise fairly well, to see yet another cat. Great. Even more cats.

"It's fine, it's fine, I didn't break a bone or anything." The black cat muttered, loud enough for both leaders to hear. "I'm Textreader of RisingClan, she/her." She eyed the duo, praying they would leave her along.

Pancurse - Genderfluid AFAB - 37M - Medicine Cat - Clovermouse
Pancurse sighed, annoyed. "What don't you understand? Eevee is not real!" She snapped, her agitation from earlier rising again. "You can't hunt an Eevee because actual Eevees don't exist! They're made up! Imaginary!" What would it take for this cat to understand?

Stripedhood & Blinkblaze - Cis Male & Cis Male - 30M & 49M - Warrior & Warrior - Stormfang
The other cat was less angry than expected. Stripedhood found himself irrationally annoyed by the lack of a response. Did this cat decide to pity him or something due to the lack of vision? He could detect his surroundings just fine and this cat should treat him like that!

Blinkblaze rested a tail gently on Stripedhood's shoulder and decided an introduction would ease the tension. "I'm Blinkblaze and this is Stripedhood. We come from RisingClan." He explained, voice low and just barely loud enough to hear.

ＳＨＯＲＥＣＬＡＮ
────── ★ SPIRITUAL BEACON ★ ──────
ATTENDENCE: Jasminestar, Quietcove, Hawkbreeze, Matchawish, Neptunepaw, and Venuspaw

Jasminestar | 48m | ♂ | Shoreclan Chieftian | Tags: Open, with leaders
Jasminestar held his head high, proud to finally be able to attend one of the gatherings personality. He thought of the peace his clan was at once again, perhaps thinking of asking Faunawisp if she wanted to try for another litter of kits. However, he knew she was usually cross with him, especially after the argument they had moons ago. He held back a sigh as he took a seat with the other leaders, idly watching the cats mingling.



Quietcove | 33m | ♂ | Guardian | Tags: Coralpaw, Shellscute (Scarabclan), and Oysterpaw (Scarabclan)
Quietcove swelled with pride as he stepped into the gathering with his daughter by his side. He knew Coralpaw wasn't one to show much of her emotions at times, but he could see right through her. He had joy in each step, keeping his eyes out for Shellscute. It would be the first time in forever for the whole family to be together. He had often visited Shellscute and Oysterpaw in Scarabclan, however Coralpaw had always been busy with her training. "You see your mother yet, Coral?" He questioned, looking back to where his daughter should have been. However, he noticed she had already rushed over to where Shellscute and Oysterpaw were. He followed quickly, smiling at his beautiful mate.





Coralpaw | 9m | ♀ | Hunter Trainee | Tags: Quietcove, Shellscute (Scarabclan), and Oysterpaw (Scarabclan)
Coralpaw followed quietly beside her father. She could feel his cool skin brush against her now and then, almost giving her shivers. Her light blue eyes scanned the clearing, quickly spotting her brother first. She made a mad dash towards the two, slowing into a crouch as she neared Shellscute. In a flash, she hopped up and lightly pounced on her mother's side and boucing back to the ground. "Mom! Oyster!" She called, holding in her giggles. She always felt like a different cat whenever she saw her family. In Shoreclan, she acted more serious and was always focused on her training, not trying too hard to make friends. With her mother and brother, she felt like a kit again. "How is everyone in Scarabclan? Who's your mentor?" She questioned quickly to Oysterpaw.





Hawkbreeze | 17m | ♂ | Guardian | Tags: Mumbloom (Celestial Beings)
The brown tom found himself pacing as he searched for his friend. He had caught himself thinking about Mumpaw more and more in his free time, thinking of what he would tell her about next time he'd see her. He wondered if she thought about him as much he did about her, or if he was just a bit of a lunatic. He had yet to learn what her soldier name was, knowing that she must have passed her assessment easily. He felt giddy just thinking of what fantastic name she could have. Just as he was going to find somewhere to relax, he spotted her out of the corner of his eye. He trotted over to her slowly, brushing his tail on her side to get her attention. He signed a greeting with his paws, grinning wide. "Hey, Mumpaw. Long time, no see! Did you miss me?" He sighed swiftly, proud of the progress he had made.





Matchawish | 48m | ♀ | Guardian | Tags: Open
The she-cat boredly looked around at the crowd of cats. Her daughter had insisted that she joined her at her first gathering, yet she still dreaded it. She wasn't much one for cats outside of Shoreclan. Everyone in her own clan knew to leave her alone mostly. Cats here were too eager to start conversations. However, she did find enjoyment watching Venuspaw attempt to make more friends. She was proud of her daughter, even though she didn't show it too often.





Venuspaw | 6m | ♀ | Hunter Trainee | Tags: Open (waiting for Cardinalpaw)
Venuspaw kept her eyes looking up, watching the cats around her. With her short stature, she didn't have time to waste looking at the ground. She looked every cat in the eyes as they passed her, her face blank. She took extra notice to any cats around her that were around her own age, hoping to have someone to talk to. She liked some of her friends in Shoreclan, yet she wanted someone to talk to who didn't know everything about her. Everyone in her clan knew her from birth. She wanted to meet others who might have more interesting thoughts or personalities.



Neptunepaw | 6m | ♂ | Guardian Trainee | Tags: Grizzlypaw (KATTER AV DEN FROSNE ØYA)
Neptunepaw rolled his eyes as his sister went around looking for friends. He didn't see the point when they weren't in the clan. He nuzzled his mother before trying to find the best spot to see the leaders during the meeting. However, he was soon interrupted. He smiled at the question, noticing the two's similar features. "Yeah, he is. Your's too, I'm hoping?" He smiled, glad to know another brother.

CASCADECLAN has arrived!
Attending: Silverstar, Shoreabranch, Aldernight, Langsat, Halepen, Basmatiswerve, Rhizomecinder, Orchidpaw, Aulandrapaw

Silverstar | Eye of the Cascade | female | 41 moons | Tags: Halfmoon, Quailjaw [MoonClan; LooneyLani]; Shoreabranch [CascadeClan; bmkmb]

She'd managed to make it to the Gathering early, which was strange. Usually, the Cascade arrived late, courtesy of the jungle they needed to cross before they could even set their sights on their seasonal destination. Despite her posture—head held high; dignified clumsy-seeming strides—Silverstar's flitting gaze easily gave away just how anxious she was. She'd never tried making allies with the other clans before—that was Aldernight's area of expertise. Silverstar simply sat still, looking leaderly... at least, she hoped she looked leaderly. (In truth, if not for her curious expression, many a cat would've mistaken her for a lost warrior.) Though speaking of Aldernight... where had that blasted Tempest gone? The leader stopped to glance around, ignoring Shoreabranch's exasperated nudge until she spotted her most trusted advisor. He was speaking to another deputy, it seemed, being more productive than herself and the Gathering had barely begun. Did that mean he wasn't coming with them? Unease doubling within her, Silverstar hastened to catch up with Shoreabranch.

Shoreabranch | Skullhunter | female | 43 moons | Tags: Halfmoon, Quailjaw [MoonClan; LooneyLani]; Silverstar [CascadeClan; bmkmb]

The skullhunter plowed through the crowd with the grace of a hummingbird, and she let out a long-suffering sigh when Silverstar stopped walking all of a sudden. Shoreabranch understood that the leader of nearly two years still didn't know how to act diplomatically, but really? She was somehow managing to prove how nervous and inattentive she was in one simple movement! The feline nudged her leader forwards before taking the lead herself when the molly refused to budge. An amused smile tugged on her maw as Shoreabranch spotted a familiar, waving tail, and she waved her own in return. "Quailjaw," she greeted, nodding to who she presumed to be his leader, then made a face at his tease. "You underestimate me," Shoreabranch replied in something of a melodramatic, hurt whine. "Seeing that your clan arrived last, it's safe to say that I'm the one who should've been worried. If you showed a second later, I might've told Silverstar that you must've been eaten by your vicious namesake." Not her best in terms of retorts, but both their leaders seemed ready to melt into the earth if they had to stand around awkwardly for a moment longer. Shoreabranch stepped back to allow Silverstar into the spotlight, however hesitant the other molly seemed about claiming it. "Shall we begin?"

Aldernight | Storm's Tempest | male | 44 moons | Tags: Badgermask [the fallen; salvation.]

The black-furred feline listened as Badgermask spoke, his gaze following hers when she mentioned her leader. He wasn't too surprised to hear that the molly was more or less an acting regent at the moment—she had the skills necessary for a high rank, it seemed. Aldernight frowned ever so slightly when the conversation turned to his own clan. With a quiet tsk, he responded, "The last few moons have been irritatingly uneventful. The Cascade's leader trusts me with her life, yet despite her foolishness, she has most of our champions wrapped around her tail... I've no reason to claim her spot for myself when she follows my every command. Should I say the word, she'd gladly step down, I believe." Which made no sense! Silverstar was a dreamer. She'd come from nothing, cowered at the sight of a rogue, then agreed to make Aldernight deputy simply because he'd had second thoughts about murdering her immediately. If he'd stopped himself a second too late, well... he'd have no reason for being here tonight, not when the Cascade never would've existed to begin with.

Aldernight dismissed those thoughts for a moment. "Are you enjoying it, acting as deputy?" he inquired, genuinely curious.

Langsat | Aura of Ripples | female | 57 moons | Tags: open to all

[Langsat seems grumpy as usual. She settles down in her usual spot in the healers' area.]

Halepen | Aura of Ripples | male | 18 moons | Tags: Autumnflower [QuickClan; eagle,]

She wasn't snapping at him for his lack of respect. That, for whatever reason, surprised him. He was too used to the strict ways of his higher-ups; he'd genuinely forgotten that most healers doubled as counselors. If only... healers in his clan weren't taught to fight, but they could rip apart souls with their words alone. "Halepen," the red tabby nearly hissed, "and if you don't recall the name, it's because certain high ranks forced me to claim it. Before, I went by Ignitionpaw (like a normal feline). Now I am named after a plant for the sake of tradition." And he honestly shouldn't care! Warriors changed their names all the time. But he wanted a name, a real name, not some silly plant! Why couldn't he have been Ignitionshard? Storms, even Ignitionpuddle would've been fine. Mousebrained, but fine. No, healers and warriors didn't mix. They couldn't have the same naming systems. For all warriors were taught to heal, healers should never hunt. What if Halepen already knew how to hunt? It didn't matter. He was too young to make his own decisions yet old enough, competent enough that Langsat wanted him out of the apprentices' den. Tsk. He despised his mentor right now.

Basmatiswerve | Gladehunter | male | 44 moons | Tags: Sanderlingfrost [TidalClan; DaniCalifornia]

The white-furred feline's pelt shined an eerie green in the moonlight. He watched in amusement as his hyperactive torrent bounded up to someone, then did the same, albeit in a much more dignified manner. "Basmatiswerve of the Cascade," he greeted with a slight, polite nod. "And who might you be?"

Rhizomecinder | Cyclone Champion | male | 57 moons | Tags: open to all, especially former Larch's Advance members

[He tsks at his sister's grumpy expression before wandering through the non-high-rank section of the crowd.]

Orchidpaw | Torrent | female | 13 moons | Tags: open to all!

[She laughs cheerfully at Rhizomecinder's expression, then runs off to find someone enthusiastic to speak with.]

Aulandrapaw | Torrent | female | 10 moons | Tags: Snowballpaw [SnowClan; beebun]

Aulandrapaw couldn't be more excited to see her friend. Her mother had said that most torrents only visited the Gathering once or twice, yet she'd allowed Aulandrapaw to go just in case Snowballpaw would be looking for her. And she had! This was great! "So," the black-furred molly began, "Did anything interesting happen in SnowClan? The Cascade's been super boring this season."
