GATOS CALLEJEROS

TAWNY. GRAN LÍDER. 45M. ♀. TAGGED? NONE.

xTHE journey from her homeland was long, but nothing the gran líder couldn’t handle. alone, her people back home in mexico, she hadn’t deemed it necessary for anyone to join her. this is, simply, a political affair - and she is merely a representative of the gatos callejeros clan.
xNO-ONE will understand their ways. she doesn’t expect them to.
xTINK flits around her ears - with an irritable fondness, she rolls her eyes at the bird’s anxious fluttering.
x”relax, niña.”(1) she mutters to the hummingbird, half under her breath, before sliding out from the undergrowth and down into the hollow, with its sea of unfamiliar faces. with obvious reluctance, tink follows. silent, the gran líder slips past other felines, heading towards where somehow instinctually she knows she belongs - with the other leaders. she doesn’t see herself as such, however. just as a representative until she returns to mexico.


(1) girl.

SPRUCECLAN
cats in attendance:
sparrowstar, applefall, honeypaw, softlight, goldenheart
— — — — —

Sparrowstar
leader / 60 m / tags: bluebellcrown (viridian court), froststar (flightclan), scorchstar (shiningclan)

As he watched Froststar, Scorchstar, and Bluebellcrown share reports on their own clans, Sparrowstar pondered over how to answer the question himself. Things had certainly been... well, chaotic might be an understatement, but it seemed that, for now at least, things were looking up. "SpruceClan has had its fair shares of ups and downs," he settled on sharing, once there was an appropriate lull in the conversation to add his own piece. "But my expectations for the future are high. I hope this coming Leaf-fall will continue to treat you all well. I think I speak for all of us when I say the best news to hear is that every clan is thriving and happy."

Applefall
healer / 55 m / tags: brookberry (scarabclan), pumpkinpaw (bearclan)

"Oh!" Applefall murmured, distracted from his question to Brookberry by the appearance of a young tom. The little one had that herby smell of a healer, but with how young he looked, he was most certainly someone's apprentice. "Hello, there!" The calico healer waited politely for Brookberry to finish her introductions, before chiming in himself. "And my name is Applefall, a healer as well. Nice to meet you."

Honeypaw
healer's apprentice / 19 f / tags: mousemint (echoclan)

"I certainly hope so," she said, smiling in thanks as Mousemint offered a comforting tail to her shoulder. "Applefall, my mentor, has been dropping hints about it, in any case, but I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing. It is cool that you get to earn your name early in EchoClan!"

Softlight
warrior / 19 m / tags: softlight (vagaryclan)

"Your name is Softlight, too?" Softlight gasped, a silly smile rising to his face. Now this was a twist. "No way! That's so cool! Do you,by any chance... have white fur? I'm sure you could guess after I ran into you earlier, and I'm still sorry for that, by the way, but I can't really see. If you do, though, that's even cooler! That would make us practically twins!" He paused, realizing that he'd been starting to ramble, and cut himself off with an awkward giggle. "Sorry, that must have sounded weird. But it is a fun coincidence that we share a name!"

Goldenheart
warrior / 23 m / tags: hopfrog (vagaryclan)

"I missed you, too!" Goldenheart purred, eagerly brushing cheeks with Hopfrog and trying not to mourn the loss of contact as she pulled away. "I'm so glad to hear you're doing well. It feels like it's been forever since I've seen you." He sighed dramatically, giving an exaggerated shake of his head. "I wish they had Gatherings more often... How are all of your siblings doing? Just as well, I hope?"

GOLDEN KINGDOM
cats in attendance:
crown of embers, lily's grace, stag's stomp, young aspen
— — — — —

Crown of Embers
monarch / 46 m / tags: oripendularstar (paragonclan)

Crown of Embers approached the hollow where the leaders of the clan cats seemed to be gathering slowly, letting his gaze roam over the variety of candidates to choose from. As the Monarch of his Kingdom, it was his responsibility to be diplomatic, to establish friendly contact with others. But as Embers, it was his curiosity about the clans that drove him to investigate, so he kept his eyes open in search of someone who looked like they knew a thing or two. A black-furred molly, perched atop a rock some distance away from the many other clan leaders gathered around, surveyed the crowds with keen copper eyes. Embers' head tilted to the side slightly, interest piqued. If there was such a thing as the opposite of a magnetic presence, this molly seemed to have it. Cold and foreboding, she warded off stares rather than invite them. Interesting, Embers thought to himself, and padded closer. "Excuse me," he called, not bothering to smile too widely. She didn't seem the type who would appreciate it. "You are a clan leader, yes? My name is Crown of Embers, but just Embers will do. If you wouldn't mind sparing the time, I am quite curious to learn more about your way of life."

Lily's Grace
cleric / 38 f / tags: slatefang & timberleaf (shiningclan)

Lily's Grace couldn't help herself, a warm laughter bubbling up out of her. No, perhaps a cat like Bluepaw wouldn't be the best fit for her. "You know, I think I'd much rather have a calm apprentice like you've got, Slatefang. I don't know how much patience I'd have for a student that liked to switch around the order of my sorted herbs, or to sneak live spiders into my cobweb supply. It can be hard enough to deal with a squalling kitten without your assistant causing more mayhem."

Stag's Stomp
knight / 28 m / tags: mintbelly (bearclan)

Stag looked away as warmth flooded his face. Mintbelly's swift lick of his cheek, chaste as the gesture was, still sent whirling tornadoes of butterflies through his stomach. "Flatterer," he grumbled, but it was much more affectionate than truly annoyed. He was careful to slow his steps, well aware that his long stride would be too fast for the pregnant molly to keep up with without overexertion. Almost shyly, he licked her cheek in return. "No matter what they look like, I know I'll adore them."

Young Aspen
heir / 9 m / tags: tealpaw (elysian dynasty)

With every step deeper into the crowds, Young Aspen found himself more and more lost in the sea of unfamiliar faces. He danced around the many adults, careful not to trod on any tails, and even more careful not to snap at the few who trod on his. After a few minutes of this, he weaseled his way out of the masses with a frustrated gasp, and found himself face to face with a silky-furred young molly, probably about his age. The pretty tortoiseshell offered a quiet greeting and respectful nod. "Hello," Aspen said back, watching this stranger with wide eyes. She... didn't look like she meant any harm, far from it, and it wouldn't do to forget his manners. That would certainly be a poor reflection on his father's good name. "My name is Young Aspen," he said, bowing quickly in efforts to hide how rattled he was. "Heir of the Golden Kingdom. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Cats Attending; Froststar, Snowclaw, Maplecloud, Cinderfang

Froststar
Leader | She-cat | 67 moons | tags; Sparrowstar (Spruceclan), Bluebellcrown (Viridian Court), Scorchstar (Shiningclan)
Froststar nodded as she listened to the other leaders share their experiences. "Flightclan is still young, but we're growing with every moon. We had a scare with foxes not too long ago, but thankfully Starclan has been good to us so far. This is my first time venturing past our borders in a long time. It's really nice to meet other clans." she said, almost purring with excitement.

Snowclaw
Deputy | Tom | 65 moons | tags; Beestripe (Echoclan), deputies
Snowclaw was a bit taken aback at the mention of such a large clan. "Wow," he mewed, "I didn't know such large clans existed. We're only about 25 strong right now, but steadily growing."

Maplecloud
Medicine Cat | She-cat | 68 moons | tags; Crowcloud (Echoclan), medicine cats
"Oh..." Maplecloud looked at her paws, realizing that her question was probably a bit odd. "I was a loner before Froststar recruited me so I guess I'm not quite used to being a part of a clan yet."

Cinderfang
Warrior | Tom | 39 moons | tags; Cindersong (Shiningclan), Cinderstar (Brookclan), warriors
Cinderfang nodded at Cindersong as she spoke. "Flightclan is a bit further so not many of us were able to come, but I think it's definitely worth the journey. Where do you come from, Cinderstar?" his head tilting slightly to the side with his question.

[Nosifer]

BeetleClan

Mousepetal | Female | She/Her | Deputy | Kind & Motherly | Tags: Open

Mousepetal gulped nervously before walking in. As Hailstar had recently broken his leg, he was unable to attend this gathering. And with Cloudbreeze staying behind to look after him, she was the only high-ranking cat here. It was up to her to look after her clan, which was, in fact, making her a tad nervous. She hoped she would make a good impression.

Leafgaze | Female | She/Her | Warrior | Impulsive & Impatient | Tags: Open

[Looking around]

Sunwhisker | Non-Binary | They/Them | Warrior | Childish & Empathetic | Tags: Cicadapaw - ChaosClan
Sunwhisker rolled their eyes. "Oh my god, yes. It's impossible to not get stuck." They gave a huff of exasperation. "I don't know how the older members of the clan manage to move through it so well! Us newer members aren't supposed to go out alone, in case one of us gets stuck. Which, of course, happens all the time!" Sunwhisker was pouting angrily. They kept this face up for a few moments, before it collapsed into yet more giggling. "Really though, a tip- don't stop moving. There's patches of firmer ground here and there, and if you move through the softer mud quickly enough, it doesn't have enough time to pull you down. Took me a whole moon to figure that one out." Sunwhisker glanced around, then crouched low to the ground, and whispered, "I'm slowly figuring out their secrets!" They gave an over-dramatic wink, visibly struggling to keep a straight face.

𝕊ℂ𝔸ℝ𝔸𝔹ℂ𝕃𝔸ℕ════════════════════════════════════════════════
cats in attendance; bonestar, sandpatch, brookberry, coalcrypt, canyoncry, lechwehorn, autumnsong, rainstrike

bonestar ♂ 60 moons (pharaoh) - tags; horizonstar
the cream-point oriental could not help but read the energy that practically bubbled out of the other leader as positive, and he wondered what it would take for him to regain that sort of kit-like wonder about the world that she seemed to view the world through. "its nice to meet you horizonstar. my name is bonestar, and i am the pharaoh of my clan scarabclan, alongside my mate thornstar. she is however in the nursery expecting our second litter of kits, so it is just i attending the gathering this moon. what clan are you from?"

sandpatch ♂ 50 moons (heir) - tags; ice cream
the ticked oriental tom could not help the way his head sort of tilted to the side at the names of the cat and his clan; thinking back on his kit-life as a kittypet, he felt like if he remembered correctly the words ice cream and cocoa were both types of food that two-legs ate. "its nice to meet you ice cream. i'm the deputy of scarabclan myself, have been for over twenty moons now. i havent heard of your clan before, although to be fair my clan hasnt been at a gathering for a few moons. whats cocoaclan like?"

brookberry ♀ 33 moons (healer) - tags; applefall, pumpkinpaw
the young molly had to force her stump of a tail to lie still; some of her clanmates considered her a bit canine because when she got excited she would wag it like a dog, but it wasnt something she wanted to show off infront of all these strange cats for them to judge her. as the calico tom spoke to the little apprentice after her, she had to sit patiently, her fur standing on edge in places as she dug her claws in and out of the ground in an attempt to keep herself calm. she tended to not really be the best with apprentices or young kits in general; she wasnt as awful with them as her own mentor viperstrike had been, but since the old healer was so grouchy, she never had the opportunity to be around other young cats when she herself was an aprentice, and so she felt like she didnt fully know how to interact with them. she wanted to get back to her conversation with applefall and learn about what life was like in his clan, but she didnt want to be rude, and so she turned her attention back to the apprentice. "what clan are you from, young one?"

coalcrypt ♂ 41 moons (enforcer) - tags; open!
while not technically considered a high rank among the other clans, his pharaoh had made it clear that he wanted at least one enforcer to attend the gatherings as a form of security, especially this moon since one of the clan's pregnant molly's had insisted on coming to see her mate, despite being ready to give birth any day now. caimantooth had wanted to stay behind with his own pregnant mate, scorpionslash requested to remain in camp with his mate and step-children, and raggedsnap requested not to attend because he still felt insecure about his appearance and didnt want to be judged by cats of these other clans. which left coalcrypt to attend, not that he minded, for he hoped that he would be able to see another hairless cat, one that he had loved deeply for a very long time; his mate lichenstream of pineclan.

canyoncry ♀ 64 moons (fighter/mother) - tags; splashfall
canyoncry found herself kind of waddling around the gathering space in search of her mate; she was never the tallest cat, honestly being quite petite-bodied aside from her current large rotund belly, and normally when she was looking for someone at the gathering she would have gone up on her back legs to loom around, but she didn’t have the balance of strength to do that with the added weight of her pregnancy. however her mate’s familiar voice calling her name caused her ears to perk, and as her eyes landed in the brown tabby tom’s quickly approaching form, a big grin appeared onto her face and she let out a loud meow of excitement as she did her best to waddle over towards him, nuzzling her face into his chest happily. “Oh I’m perfectly fine splashfall! You don’t need to worry so much; brookberry and coalcrypt are keeping an eye on me. I just wanted to see you and tell you about Oasissight! It’s so very exciting! He has a mate now!”

lechwehorn ♂ 45 moons (hunter) - tags; snowybranch
the orange and white tom couldnt help but lean forward a bit towards his son, hoping that he would be accepted for at least a gentle head-butt, since he wasnt sure how his son would handle any physical affection so he didnt want to just rush forward with licks or nuzzles. his eyes softened as the grey spotted tom spoke of his mother, and he could see the pain losing her had caused the tom radiating from every pore of his body as he spoke of her. the orange and white tom raised his tail to lay momentarily on snowybranch's back in an act of comfort. “if i'm being honest with you, i never expected to care as deeply for her as i grew to after you and your siblings were born. i think my biggest regret was not telling her how i felt before she passed. but yes, lets move on to slightly more positive conversation. your brother pygmycry and sister screechclaw have adjusted very well to life in the desert. screechclaw does blend in a bit better with the surroundings, since pygmycry is a darker color; honestly pygmycry looks alot like your mother, even more than you or screechclaw... you're right of course, i couldnt even begin to fathom living on a thunderpath. what is that like?”

autumnsong ♀ 35 moons (fighter) - tags; morasspounce
the tortoiseshell sat down to get more comfortable, wrapping her narrow tail around her paws as her eyes flickered around the clearing before landing back on the small cat before her. ""its nice to meet you too morasspounce! i hope i dont seem rude when i say that you have quite a peculiar name; i've never met another morass before. does it mean anything in particular?" her smile was bright and tone of voice friendly as she spoke to the other molly, hoping to make a friend from a new clan.

rainstrike ♂ 36 moons (fighter) - tags; cardinalgaze
the brown tabby tom easily noticed the pause in conversation before the other cat spoke again, and he could only assume that they were just realizing that he was blind and thats why they took a moment to speak again. his ears perked up quickly to take in what the other cat said, swiveling both of them to point directly where the other tom's voice was coming from so that he didnt miss any of the words. "its nice to meet you cardinalgaze. i cant say i've heard of the elysian dynasty but there are far more clans than i could ever imagine meeting someone from so of course that makes sense. scarabclan is very different from the clan that i came from before with my mate brambleheart, but it is the best thing that could have happened to us. its located in the desert so we are surrounded by nothing but sand. the air is very dry and hunting is very different than in the forests, but the new challenges are a nice change. what about you, whats life in this dynasty like?"

[[kat]]

☆ Rookspots
97 moons ; tom ; deputy ; tags: moonpie
Rookspots purred at Moonpie's big grin, letting himself smile back. "I've been great actually! Smallshadow just gave birth, and we have two kits now! Stormkit and Fogkit." At the mention of their names, he puffed out his chest with pride.

☀ Fadedsun
80 moons ; tom ; medicine cat ; tags: otterfur
Fadedsun felt his heart beat even faster when the wind carried a familiar voice over to him. He turned to see Otterfur approaching, and he forced his fur to lie flat when the silky tom touched his nose to Fadedsun's own. His pelt pricking with excitement, he turned and gestured for Otterfur to follow him to a secluded spot as they talked. "I was hoping you'd be here too. I don't know many other cats here besides my Clanmates, and I can only deal with them so much after they constantly sit in my den whining about thorns in their pads." He shot his companion a grin. "I'd like to speak with Merlinsong sometime. I'm sure we could exchange some useful knowledge. But for the record, you can tell him I do enjoy gossiping with you."

♘ Cedarbranch
38 moons ; tom ; warrior ; tags: katara, hollandmarch
Cedarbranch jumped up immediately when he saw Katara padding his way, and gave his chest fur a few quick licks. He pressed against her and closed his eyes for a moment before she pulled away. Before he could respond, he was headbutted by a smaller, very excited tom, and he fell over dramatically. "Oh no! The badger's got me! Katara heEeEeElp!!"

♔ Brindlebirch
60 moons ; molly ; perma queen ; tags: mapleshadow
Brindlebirch smiled as she caught sight of her friend picking her way through the crowd towards her. "Hey! It's great to see you too. You're looking as lovely as ever." She shot Mapleshadow a friendly wink, touching her nose to the other molly's. She let out a laugh at her friend's complaints. "You're telling me. Maybe we can make our own little Gathering. Our Clans seem to mingle enough for it!" She gestured to Fadedsun and Otterfur walking together across the clearing, and Katara, Cedarbranch, and Hollandmarch who were practically falling all over each other.

♧ Softlight
19 moons ; molly ; warrior ; tags: softlight
This time, Softlight found that her laughter came easily. This tom was easy to talk to, and his energy was infectious. "I do, actually! Although my fur isn't curly like yours." She studied him curiously for a moment and shuffled her paws with nervous energy. "That didn't sound weird at all! What, um..." Her question caught in her throat as she realized it might be rude to ask. "Well, I was going to ask what happened, because I see scars on your eyes- but you totally don't have to tell me if that's too personal."

❀ Hopfrog
19 moons ; molly ; warrior ; tags: goldenheart
"It does feel like it's been a while. You know they have these Gatherings every moon, right? We just don't come to all of them." She winked at him teasingly. "Maybe we'll have to organize our own 'Gathering.' And they're doing well too! Actually, I might have even more siblings soon." She leaned in close, as though sharing an important secret. "I'm pretty sure I heard Hickoryheart and Vividgaze talking about having kits!"

✣ Foxcatcher
15 moons ; tom ; warrior ; tags: ploverheart
Foxcatcher bounded straight into the clearing upon arrival, a massive grin on his face. It was his first Gathering as a warrior and he was determined to tell someone about it. He looked around for a few moments before he saw a small, pretty she-cat sitting by herself. He drew himself up and walked confidently but casually over to her, giving her a kind smile before gesturing to the ground next to her.
"Is this seat taken?"

SeaClan
Cats Attending: Carrotstar, Thistletuft, Sandripple, Boomtail, Jadefall, Juniperfrost, Anwyll, Bracketcloud, Avocetpaw

Carrotstar - tom - leader - a shorthaired ginger mackerel tabby with green eyes - tagged; Applestar (ForestClan)

Carrotstar meowed, smiling at the thought, "Same for SeaClan. I still wonder at how they all manage to do that with Leafwhisker." Nodding at the tom's next words, the ginger tabby replied, "All of the queens and kits' families - including myself - have been taking turns in guarding the camp, especially at night, as some of the more... adventurous kits tend to want to sneak out at night." He then asked, amusement in his voice, "Applestar, if I may ask, what do the kits in ForestClan like to do when they feel... bold?"

Thistletuft - tom - deputy - a longhaired solid gray-and-white cat with yellow eyes - tagged; open

Sandripple - tom - medicine cat - a small shorthaired black mackerel tabby with yellow eyes - tagged; Merlinsong (Highgarden)

"Pleasure to meet you," Sandripple replied back, glad to hear his gut instinct was correct, and this cat - Merlinsong of Highgarden - was a medicine cat like hinself. He nodded, allowing the larger tom to walk first; staying close to him at all times, so as to catch all that he was saying. "We take turns to attend the Gathering," the small black tabby explained, "us medicine cats in SeaClan. There's three of us - myself, Dappledawn, the head medicine cat, and young Comfreyleaf." After a moment to pause for breath, Sandripple continued, "SeaClan is a Clan that lives by the sea up in the Northlands, which is very far away from here. We live on the cliffs that line the coast there, living alongside CloudClan, IceClan, and most recently, CreagClan. We are a hardy bunch, to put it lightly. It is very cold up there, and we have adjusted to living in such an environment... but some cats don't tend to like us because of the fishy, salty scent of the sea we carry on our pelts."

Boomtail - tom - warrior - a longhaired ginger mackerel tabby with yellow eyes - tagged; Gannetnose (GustClan); traveling with Jadefall

Boomtail allowed, "Well, I guess you aren't wrong. Have you seen Sandripple, one of our medicine cats? He's-" Jadefall shot him a death glare before addressing her littermate from GustClan, meowing kindly, "It's okay, we were just worried, is all. How's things in GustClan, anyway?"

Boomtail recovered quickly and exclaimed, "Exciting, you say? I mean, Mum's had her second litter, Gannet! Four adorable, fluffy kittens!" Jadefall nodded, mewing, "Only if you could see them now..."

Jadefall - she-cat - warrior - a longhaired seal lynx point cat with blue eyes - tagged; Gannetnose (GustClan); traveling with Boomtail

see Boomtail.

Anwyll - tom - warrior - a mute shorthaired pure white cat with yellow eyes - tagged; Cicelynose (GustClan); traveling with Bracketcloud

Bracketcloud, too, was confused, seeing the confused expression on the gray point she-cat, before meowing, "Oh no, no. You bumped into my father, Anwyll, ma'am. I'm Bracketcloud, his daughter. Father was telling me to ask you if you were hurt, is all." After a small, awkward pause, the chocolate calico added softly, "Anwyll is mute - he signs using his body to communicate with me; in turn, I translate his motions for him."

[Kazin]

Chaosclan
in attendance: Raptorstar, Zephyrsnap, Sunflicker, Pearflower, Maddersneak, Skatetooth, Cicadapaw, Cascadepaw, Snowybranch

Raptorstar
leader | 63 moons, tom | tagged: Gorsestar (Echoclan)
"Twolegs were just... gone for a while," Raptorstar said, shifting on his paws. "No idea where they went, but they're back now," he added, rolling his eye. "Stupid beasts are more trouble than they're worth, but they seem content leaving the Thunderpath alone."

Zephyrsnap
Soldier (deputy) | 28 moons, tom | tagged: Moonblossom (Sloughclan)
"Ah, yeah, that makes sense; we actually left Raptorstar's co-leader at camp. She was expecting her kits to arrive anyday before we left. I'd imagine we're going to return to a full nursery," he said, smiling. "Chaosclan's just unusual in that we have two leaders, which I guess I didn't realize wasn't the norm before today." He paused, giving a quick thought to the strangeness of his clan. "I guess we're also weird because we technically have three deputies, though Raptorstar usually only lets one come each gathering... I just got lucky this time. Usually he brings Fallencrow, who's the oldest. Though, I also have only been the deputy for a couple moons, so that didn't help my case last time," he added sheepishly, smiling.

Sunflicker
Healer | 21 moons, tom | tagged: Larknose (Forestclan)
Sunflicker allowed himself a small smile at Larknose's experience. "We have the same thing going on, I reckon. Though our third medicine cat, my mentor, just retired into the elder's den, and I only just started training an apprentice so he's not much help, at least not yet, for for a little bit it's really going to just be me and our other full healer, Amberdawn..." Sunflicker trailed off for the moment, almost completely forgetting that he even had an apprentice. "A lot of queens in our nursery too," he said, shaking his head at the thought. "Our patrols seem to have a knack for finding them, somehow."

Pearflower
Hunter | 17 moons, she-cat | tagged: open
Pearflower quite literally sat in the middle. She gazed up at the sky, letting the stars cast their mild light over her pelt. If someone wanted to talk to her, they would, but for now; she was content with the sky.

Maddersneak
Hunter | 18 moons, she-cat | tagged: open
As stealthy as her name implied, Maddersneak kept herself in the shadows. She saw Raptorstar, hanging around the edges as well; at least she wasn't alone in her dissatisfaction of the large crowd. Perhaps if someone came to the edge, she'd talk, but she had little interest in forcing herself into the thick of the cat crowd.

Skatetooth
Scout | 16 moons, tom | tagged: Clarystorm (Gustclan)
It was times like this Skatetooth was suddenly glad for his folded ears. It made for less twitching, less acknowledgement of emotion. It allowed him to simply wait until this strange tom was done speaking to say anything back. What a strange cat, though... "Yeah, I can help you," Skatetooth said brightly, enthusiastic at the idea. "Only... how exactly do I know if they're untrustworthy? Should I eavesdrop? My ears are pretty good at that, I'm undetectable." Skatetooth let a little bit of pride into his voice, and he kneaded at the ground. He was excited that he was able to talk to this cat, but equally as excited just to have something to do - even if the task came from a... less than friendly cat.

Snowybranch
Scout | 20 moons, tom | tagged: Lechwehorn (Scarabclan)
Snowybranch felt reassured by his father's presence, by the tail on his back. So often it was Duskwillow's chosen gesture of comfort for her son, and it made Snowybranch grateful that Raptorstar had asked him to come. "I hope one day I'm able to meet them again," Snowybranch said earnestly. "I can tell them all about mom. And she did care for you as well, she just had a weird way of showing it. She looked towards the border often, though, and that meant something to her." At least, Snowybranch reflected, it would get easier to talk about Duskwillow as time went on. At least she would always remain in his thoughts. "But yeah, the thunderpath is really interesting! The sun warms it in Greenleaf so we're almost never cold, and the abandoned monsters we use as dens keep the snow out most of the time... we even have a huge monster the color of the sun that's used for the nursery, thanks to its size. Honestly, I really love life on the thunderpath."

Cicadapaw
Apprentice | 10 moons, she-cat | tagged: Sunwhisker (Beetleclan)
"Oh wow," Cicadapaw breathed, her eyes twinkling at the thought of getting stuck in mud. "Maybe if I pretend that I'm stepping in mud my mentor will let me move faster. Our patrols go so slow, and they stop at every stick that seems out of place instead of just letting us move forward," she said, wrinkling her nose. Cicadapaw's elation grew at Sunwhisker gave their wink, and Cicadapaw could not stop her laugh from escaping. "I think I need to learn more of the secrets in Chaosclan," she joked as she laughed, tilting her head to think. [/b]

Cascadepaw
Apprentice | 10 moons, she-cat | tagged: open
Losing sight of Cicadapaw, Cascadepaw plopped herself down into a sit. She let out a huff, cursing her friend under her breath.

_____________________________________________________________________

ShiningClan
In attendance: Scorchstar, Slatefang, Timberleaf, Cindersong

Scorchstar
Leader | 77 moons, tom | tagged: Bluebellcrown (Viridian Court), Sparrowstar (Spruceclan), Froststar (Flightclan)
Scorchstar found himself nodding along with each of the leader's statements. He found them all easy to talk to. "Here's to a hopeful future," Scorchstar said softly, turning his head towards the stars. "May we all have a bright Leaf-fall." He smiled over at Froststar as she expressed her excitement, and he nodded to her. "I agree," he smiled, truly feeling at ease. "I was worried when I first got here, that I didn't recognize anyone... but I'm glad to see that has not mattered."

Slatefang
Deputy | 49 moons, she-cat | tagged: open, with Timberleaf/Lily's Grace (Golden Kingdom)
Slatefang allowed another laugh as the conversation between the three cats continued on. "Perhaps I'll start going into the nursery to see which kit I want as an apprentice, should I ever take one on again," she said jokingly, raising her eyebrow at Timberleaf's mock horror.

Timberleaf

Fresh horror washed across Timberleaf's face. "Oh no," he muttered, shaking his head. "That's exactly what Bluepaw is going to do next. Maybe he already has! I just told him to check on the cobwebs before I left, too..." Timberleaf sighed dramatically, still shaking his head. "I know, I'll send him to you, Lily. I'm sure Bluepaw would make a great addition to your castle," the tom joked, giving Lily a good-natured laugh.

GATOS CALLEJEROS

TAWNY. GRAN LÍDER. 45M. ♀. TAGGED? BLAZESTAR (STRIKERSCLAN).

xSHE is alone here, can feel her fur prickle with the proximity of unfamiliar cats. it had taken her days of journey to even arrive here - she cannot let it go to waste. she might as well attempt to make conversation, though it may be futile. her cold gaze sweeps over the assembled cats, latching onto a ginger and white tom.
xTINK settles upon her shoulder blade as she approaches the tom. stopping a respectful distance away she dips her head in greeting. “hello. i am tawnystar, leader of the gatos callejeros clan.” she straightens and sits down, wrapping her tail elegantly around her paws. “who might you be?” the curiosity in her gaze is reflected in her voice, thick with a spanish accent. she is not from here - and that much is obvious.
