Ebonystar | leader | 84 moons | ♀ | tags: Dandelionstar (arcticclan)
“Oh, I’m Ebonystar, leader of BilberryClan.” she nodded to the tom. “It’s nice to meet the leader of our bordering clan.” Ebonystar felt a prick of anxiety while she spoke to this cat, she could never be too sure if she could trust somebody. It wasn’t usual for her to be speaking with somebody at a gathering, normally she stood awkwardly towards the outskirts, observing her cats.

Butterflynose | deputy | 68 moons | ♀ | tags: open
Butterflynose glanced at the tom speaking with Ebonystar before leaving the two leaders to speak. She padded on for a moment until she spotted a new place to sit. Upon sitting down Butterflynose watched her leader, Ebonystar wasn’t the most trusting of cats and was always suspecting someone of something, Butterflynose knew she just wanted to protect her clan and she admired Ebonystar for how much she cared for them

Sapphirestream | medicine cat | 18 moons | ♀ | tags: Celestialtrail (Tundraclan)
Sapphirestream rolled her eyes endearingly at Dahliapetal’s jokes, “With all the new warriors, we needed medicine cats to keep up with their injuries, so I’ve been assigned an apprentice.” She mewed happily, kneading the soil beneath her.


Dahliapetal| medicine cat | 32 moons | ♂ | tags: Celestialtrail (Tundraclan)
Dahliapetal thought for a moment before answering Celestialtrail, “We are doing well, prey and herb wise, though our clan has grown plenty. I’m afraid soon I won’t even know my own clanmates!” He joked. Dahliapetal listened to Sapphirestream speak, the eager new medicine cat was always excited to share her achievements. “Anyways, hows Tundraclan?” He asked .



Briarrose | warrior | 26 moons | ♀ | tags: open
Briarrose padded into the gathering, she noticed her brother was by her side, his paws were brown with mud and his pelt had several leaves in it. She didn’t want to associate with him, she quickly walked away.


Jaspercreek| warrior | 49 moons | ♂ | tags: open

Stubbyhead | warrior | 26 moons | ♂ | tags: Whirlwindhowl
Stubbyhead nodded, approving of Whirlwindhowl’s character. “I too have also never lead a patrol, most cats won’t take me seriously, so I doubt it would work out having me in charge.” He sighed, Stubbyhead never quite understood how all the cats he grew up with had simply lost their kit-like playfulness.

Nightember | warrior | 32 moons | ♀ | tags: Minnow’s Mumble (Order of the Hyena)
Nightember listened to the tom speak while she stared at her paws, “No, it’s my second gathering.” She replied shaking her head, “how about you? Is this your first?”


Featherpaw | apprentice | 13 moons | ♀ | tags: open
Featherpaw’s eyes flickered across the groups of cats and she leaned against her brother for comfort, Featherpaw wasn’t normally shy but the abundance of strangers frightened her.

Lichenpaw apprentice | 13 moons | ♂ | tags: open
Lichenpaw walked with his sister, most cats here looked much older than them, and they hoped to spike conversation with a cat their own age.

CHESSCLAN !!

WALNUTCHIN | 39 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: BLUEBERRY

Walnutchin couldn't help but smile as Blueberry visibly softened when talking about Frostflower. It was a strange concept in Walnutchin's brain, a twoleg showing affection for a cat, but she knew of far too many former kittypets to completely dismiss the idea. "Twolegs are strange creatures, even if I only know of them from stories. It must be hard, leaving your twoleg behind. You were very brave for striking out on your own," she chirped. She couldn't imagine leaving her entire life behind, even though she had essentially done that when PhoenixClan had disbanded.

WOLFCHILL | 41 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: WRENSPARK


Wolfchill couldn't help but smile as Wrenspark spoke. "I don't know what I would do if I ever had the job of naming an entire Clan. That seems like far too much pressure," she sighed dramatically. She would never name the Clan after herself, that's simply too conceited in her eyes, but how could she decide? The territory? The nearby creatures? The nearby plants? "I could never even be a leader. That's an exhausting amount of decision making," she curled her lips at the thought.


FREUXFRECKLE | 63 | TOM | WARRIOR | TAGGED: LIEVRESHELL


Freuxfreckle was opening and closing his jaw like a fish stuck out of water for more than a few moments before he got his words together. "Well, ChessClan's surely not getting any better. You know us, one disaster or another is always waiting to strike," he joked half-heartedly. With the recent loss of many clanmates, he held a bitter resentment for the Clan's continued misfortune. "Enough about ChessClan, how are you? Where have you gone off to?" he meowed, his heart constricting as memories of the past started to rise. He needed to forget about Rookstar and focus on the present, even though the loss of his mate had nearly destroyed him.


OUTBACK RUNNERS !!

DIPPERDUO | 92 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: OPEN


Dipperduo pressed her nose gently to Elmspeckle's head before whispering a few encouraging words into the nervous young molly's ear. "You'll be fine, just find a cat who looks to be about your age and introduce yourself," she purred gently, her voice raspy and crackly after the recent cold she'd been fighting off. After seeing the young molly off, she turned and bedded down. Her old joints ached so much that she was willing to wait for some cat to approach her.


ELMSPECKLE | 18 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: CHOCOLATESWIRL


Elmspeckle blinked rapidly, shocked that Chocolateswirl had answered all of her impromptu questions without even hesitating. Her admiration for this stranger increased tenfold, and she beamed up at him. She was still very kit-like in her mannerisms, seeming much younger than she really was. "I'm Elmspeckle of the Outback Runners. It is absolutely phenomenal to meet you, Chocolateswirl. I can't believe my luck that it's also your first Gathering. It seems so different from what I expecting," she chatted, slipping into a rhythm as if she'd known this cat for moons and moons. It was beyond strange, how comfortable she felt with a complete and total stranger, but that was just Elmspeckle's personality. Every cat was her friend, regardless of if she'd known them for a few seconds or her entire life.


AVIARYCLAN !!

BONAPARTE | 58 | TOM | GUARD | TAGGED: NETHERSTAR


Bonaparte entire body tensed as Netherstar begged for a story. "Well, my Clan used to be very close to our ancestors. One night, the bond was severed entirely. It was a physical and emotional pain like no other, experienced by the entire Clan all at once. Our soul birds, the bond with our ancestors, plummeted from the trees as they died. Then, a strangely magical fire burned our entire home and took with it over half our Clan. Now, we're stuck wandering. We don't know where we're going, and we don't know how long it will be. We just so happened to be close enough to the Gathering to attend," he meowed, his voice soft. Uncertainty edged every word, conveying what every cat of AviaryClan worried about. The death of their Clan seemed to loom over their heads, as if they were just clinging on to something that was already gone.


ROBIN | 73 | MOLLY | HEALER | TAGGED: AUTUMNSONG


Robin forced a smile onto her face. "It's a lovely group of cats. At the moment, we're nomadic and trying to find our next place to settle down in. Of course, it's hard, but they're my Clan," she meowed. She had once called Sapsucker her platonic soulmate, and he was truly who her Clan was. She longed for him every second of every day, and today was no different. "What's TruffleClan like?" she purred.


ORDER OF THE HYENA !!

MINNOW'S MUMBLE | 33 | TOM | WARRIOR | TAGGED: NIGHTEMBER

Minnow's Mumble took a deep breath as he dug through his memories. "I've been to a few, but not many. It's way too far of a journey to make repeatedly," he groaned, imagining how sore his muscles would be if he attended a Gathering every single moon. He would have the most endurance out of his entire Clan, but that counted for little to nothing when your Clan prided itself on stealing prey from larger predators.

OTTER | 8 | MOLLY | APPRENTICE | TAGGED: OPEN


Otter was running in circles, spinning from cat to cat in the hopes of finding a conversation. She was oh so excited to be here that she couldn't sit still.

[Phina D Wolf]

CAVERNCLAN

Petalstar | Molly | Tagged: Swordspirit

"I don't think I've heard of TundraClan before. Which is true of most clans, this is our first gathering." Realizing how this could be construed, she casually added, "We've been around for many moons at this point, but certain circumstances prevented us from attanding in the past."

Lièvereshell | Tom | Tagged: Freuxfreckle

Lièvereshell laughed a little at the other tom's shock, before responding, "Sounds exactly like Chessclan. I can't say I miss the constant disasters." He paused as the conversation turned to himself, deciding the things it would be most worth while to highlight, "Well, I have a mate and four beautiful kits now. Their about three moons old, so just old enough to be getting themselves in trouble. Morninglight has her paws full, but I help however I can, especially not that my apprentice has passed his assessment. I think that's the most important part of what I've been up to. Well, that and helping form Cavernclan but a bunch of us pitched in on that. Its rather democratic so no one person really claims credit for it all."

Lotuspad | Nonbinary | Tagged: open

Lotuspad shifted uncomfortably as they watched the seething mass of cats in front of them. But, Petalstar had said to socialize, try to gain some information about the surrounding clans. So, they forced themselves into the masses, winching as others brushed against, them, but they were determined to do their best.

Babybite | Bigender | Tagged: open

Babybite immediately bounded into the center of the gathering, determined to catch the eye of a daring tom. Petalstar had encouraged her to seek out new blood for the clan, and she knew with her wild looks and bubbly personality, doing so would be a walk in the park.

SWIFTCLAN

Gem | Molly | Tagged: Isopodstar

"Well then I suppose I'll be no extra trouble to you at all!" Gem chuckled, suppressing her frustrations at her predicament. "Things are going quite well in Swiftclan, still almost four hundred strong, full nurseries, plenty of apprentices. And more kits on the way, as always. How fares your clan? I don't think I've heard of them, but this is also my first gathering."

Velvetflicker/Gladestep | Molly/Tom | Tagged: Dustleaf, Dappledawn

Velvetflicker purred happily, "Oh that's lovely! New kits are always a blessing, even in Swiftclan." At the final sentence Velvetflicker shook her head with a tsk, "Well if you need help tracking down the scoundrel, you know where to find me. You know how I feel about mollies being abandoned to raise kits on their own."

At Dappledawn's question, the pair smiled wryly, "Oh, you know Swiftclan," Velvetflicker chuckled, "Still overflowing with kits and apprentices, with more on the way. Thank goodness prey runs so well, or we would be in serious trouble. How are things in your clan Dappledawn? Plenty of herbs stocked away I hope? If not you know we're always happy to lend some."

"Oh, how are you two? Is SwiftClan doing great?" (Dappledawn)

Northstar | leader | female | tags: Honey of The Royal Court (lottiecat) ✰

North chucked softly at the question. She was about to say ‘I’s my clan, I do what I want’, but it didn’t seem fitting for the persona she was playing. She thought about it for a moment. “As the lord, I choose my successor. One I find most fitting to take over and that’s someone I have trained since they were a kit.” She looks at Honey thoughtfully. “In a way it’s similar to the Royal Court. Though she is not related to me by blood, she is like a daughter to me. I can understand why your father thought you would be the best for the job.”

Tealeaf | knight | female | tags: open ✰

The young knight looked anxious as she made her way across the sea of cats. That was nothing strange. Worried was her permanent state.

Woodkid | knight | male | tags: Edenhum of Wheatclan (Bugbelly) ✰

Woodkid smiled back, his body relaxing, seeing that Edenhum wasn’t mad about the whole situation. “I’m Woodkid”, he said with a nod of his head. “I live in Whiskered Away, though I was born in a different clan. We moved when I was just a kit.”

Vie | knight | female | tags: Swanflight of Tundraclan (selkirks) ✰

Vie sat down next to him and listened, nodding along. “Sylph, let me think…” She looked up into the sky trying to remember what her mentor told her. He seemed quite fond of the title, but she thought it wasn’t really fitting. “It comes from an old fairy tale if I ‘member correct. Sylph is some kinda fairy that’s part-wind or something and also has healing powers. Weird, I know.” She shrugged and didn’t really seem all that interested in the conversation until magic was mentioned. She grinned smugly. “Why yes. After all, I am a witch.”

Netherstar | leader | female | tags: Bonaparte of Aviaryclan (chaoticcreativity) ✰

The molly sat with her mouth slightly ajar, enthralled by the tale. “Woaaah”, she whispered and kept listening, her gaze not leaving Bonaparte and soaking in his every word. “That’s so cool”, she said quietly. “I mean awful”, she quickly corrected herself, but didn’t sound genuine. She clearly found the story very interesting. “I have so many questions. What are soul birds? And why was your bond severed? Did something happen? Has someone offended the ancestors?” The excitement was apparent in her voice. She knew she should try and be a little more empathetic, but her curiosity was stronger. She has never before heard about cats being connected to birds in any way other than on the food chain. Ancestors were a pretty new concept as well. Nether was aware that she had to have had some to be alive, but they never haunted her dreams or guided her. Having your life dictated by some dead relative didn’t sound so great.

Nefari | healer | nonbinary | tags: Sunsetstep of the Lightwalkers (✫ Metagalactic ✫) ✰

“It’s nice to meet you Sunset. That’s a lovely name.” His fluffy tail swooshed from side to side, swooping some of the leaves. “Oh yes, I’d like that very much!” After the invitation he moved closer to Susetstep and sat beside her. He straightened his back and gave a look both ways. He seemed satisfied with this being the observation spot. “I really like observing the world and new things. My leader’s isn’t really a fan of that - she prefers to rush head first into action.”

Cats Attending: Carrotstar (leader), Pinefoot (deputy), Dappledawn (medicine cat), Bramblinglight (medicine cat), Ivynose (warrior), Tidefall (warrior), Onionwhisker (warrior), Macchiatosplash (warrior), Lunepaw (apprentice), Rippleheart (permaqueen), Leafwhisker (elder)

Carrotstar - leader - tom - a shorthaired ginger mackerel tabby with leaf-green eyes - tagged; Applestar (ForestClan), Harespring (CaveClan), traveling with Leafwhisker
Leafwhisker and Carrotstar listened to Applestar and Harespring talking about Boulderpelt's upcoming kits, and of CaveClan warriors, both blushing a little as Aplestar introduced the two to the CaveClan deputy as an old ally of his and his Clan. Once the two were finished, Carrotstar dipped his toward Harespring and mewed, "And likewise. If Applestar considers you a friend, then we, too, will consider the same." He then turned to Applestar and asked quietly, "Is... it all right to ask for advice now?" He gulped a bit before adding, "We... had many things happen to us in the last ten moons, culminating in deaths, multiple, and... I," he glanced at his father, who nodded grimly, and then at Harespring, before admitting, "SeaClan, needs help."
Pinefoot - deputy - tom - a shorthaired black mackerel tabby with low white and green eyes - tagged; Lavendereyes (ArcticClan)

Pinefoot saw the father-son duo leave toward the Leaders' Rock before he, too, headed toward the area where deputies gathered, rerouting young Lunepaw away from a rather intimidatingly-large crowd of cats with a hearty laugh and a gentle shove on the way. Once the young she-cat had steered group of the group of cats, Pinefoot turned around and began his track to the deputies' area... until a she-cat's voice caught his attention. Turning around, the black tabby noticed a dark-furred she-cat with the most intriguing eyes. To her question, the SeaClan deputy mewed courteously, "Hello! Lavendereyes, you say. Pleased to meet you," he purred in return, "I am Pinefoot, deputy of SeaClan."
Dappledawn - head medicine cat - she-cat - a shorthaired black calico with a twisted paw and green eyes - tagged; Dustleaf (ForestClan)

Dappledawn's whiskers twitched with amusement as she replied wryly, "Still have an entire camp with kits then, yeah?" She then blinked, asking, "Oh yeah. I heard from Anwyll and Bracketcloud that Dashiell's kits were getting big now. Are they now warriors?"
Bramblinglight - medicine cat - she-cat - a longhaired black mackerel torbie with yellow eyes - tagged; Basaltspots (Lightwalkers)

Bramblinglight forced a smile on her face as she waved her former mentor good bye. Once the calico was gone, the longhaired torbie sat down again. She wasn't going anywhere, not toni-

Oh no.

A cat had noticed her without a companion, and was walking over.

Sighing, Bramblinglight watched the cat until they were at hearing distance. At their question, the SeaClan medicine cat nodded and replied, "I don't mind at all." She indicated the spot next to her with a tail flick before sitting upright.
Ivynose - warrior - tom - a longhaired black mackerel tabby with high white and yellow eyes - tagged; Failnaughtfire (TundraClan), traveling with Rippleheart

Ivynose curled his tail around his beloved mate as he purred, "She sure does a great job too." He added, as Rippleheart flattened her ears in embarrassment, "She has a knack for adopting lost kittens, and rightfully so. They are so lovely too." His mate flicked her tail at his flank in amusement as she turned to Failnaughtfire. She dipped her head in gratitude and mewed, "We have two others - Softdawn and Selene - and we all try our best to help lost and orphaned kittens settle down into our Clan." Ivynose suggested, "Maybe we could ask Carrotstar if we can escort the two next Gathering?" Rippleheart fretted, "It would be a long journey south. And besides, both can't see." Her mate soothed, "We can all help them."
Tidefall - warrior - she-cat - a longhaired ginger mackerel tabby with high white and sea-blue eyes - tagged; Ibispool (QuickClan)

Tidefall caught his words in the air on her search for the handsome QuickClan tom. Purring with delight, the fluffy ginger-and-white she-cat caught up to Ibispool and mewed, "Oh, Ibispool! It's so good to see you! How have you been?" At the second part of his sentence, she chuckled, "I know, right? I wasn't expecting Carrotstar to choose me again so soon, but he did!"
Onionwhisker - warrior - tom - a shorthaired ginger mackerel tabby with yellow eyes - tagged; open

Macchiatosplash - warrior - nonbinary (AFAB) -a longhaired lilac sepia point with minimal white and light blue eyes - tagged; Lotuspad (CavernClan)

Macchiatosplash stared wide-eyed at the enormous crowd gathered tonight, nodding shakily as Onionwhisker, a ginger tom, laid a tail reassuringly on their shoulder. Once the tom had gone off, they, too, began their trk through this seemingly endless crowd, putting one shaky paw in front of another. The sepia point thought to themself, determined to learn about different clans so they could help their own as best as they could 'If I can find a nice cat to talk to, it'd make my night.'

It was as if the stars had listened to their plea.

Not long after they had thought it, Macchiatosplash found themself passing by another cat that had caught their attention amidst the sea of cats. They purred a greeting, hoping to catch their attention, "Hello! May I ask about your Clan?" They added quickly, "I'm hoping to learn about different Clans so I can help my own, you see. I joined recently so I'm determined to settle into Clan life."
Lunepaw - apprentice - she-cat - a mediumhaired black ticked tabby with low white, curled ears, and green eyes - tagged; Robinpaw (CaveClan)

Lunepaw laughed and replied, a mischievous glint in her green eyes, "Oh, please, you should have seen me when I decided to join them. Poor Bellcloud threw both paws in the air and had to call in Rippleheart - one of our permaqueens - to help stop our shenanigans." She then sighed, looking down at her paws, "Then I started noticing how Etoilepaw - then Etoilekit - started to retreat more and more into herself, and how even Bellcloud and Hawkpath - our dad - couldn't bring her out of it. Someone had to help the two take care of her, and... and I knew I was the only one who could." The black ticked tabby shrugged in resignation, "I guess I grew up too quick, haha."

Lotuspad | Nonbinary | Tagged: Macchiatosplash

The fawn colored cat jumped slightly at the sudden questions, but offered a smile, "Oh, hey, um, sure totally I can tell you about Cavernclan! I haven't been there very long, but I have been paying pretty close attention. I was warned we're pretty different form other clans, which is fine, we just do what works for us ya know? Like at first the wold living in caves thing was because we couldn't find a way out, but then Charcoalpatch, he fell into the caves at the same time I did, he found this little tunnel to get out! It's how we got here tonight actually, but it takes a while because you have to walk forever and then cross two streams to even get to it, and you have to be super careful crossing the streams because of The Things you know? But yea at first we couldn't leave the caves, but at this point a lot of us have grown to like it down there. Like, I've only been there for a few moons and already my night vision is way better. Sunlight hurts a little, but I adjust after about an hour or so I think, so it's not too bad. What about you, what kind of territory does your clan have? How do normal clan choose their territories do you know?"

Babybite | Bigender | Tagged: open

Babybite immediately bounded into the center of the gathering, determined to catch the eye of a daring tom. Petalstar had encouraged her to seek out new blood for the clan, and she knew with her wild looks and bubbly personality, doing so would be a walk in the park.

She hummed. "My favorite part.. it's probably the feeling I get when I see my clanmates get out of the medicine cat's den and them being able to do everything they used to. I know that's not what happens some of the time, but.. I still enjoy that feeling." Aspenpelt smiled and closed her eyes, thinking of the various apprentices, now warriors, who have injured themselves on patrols but have gotten up after a bit of herbs or rest. "I really do."

macaroni | female | med. apprentice | tags: Maipaw (Forestclan ; Simonpet)

Macaroni was glad she was talking to a fellow apprentice, especially one with as much energy as her! "I know! It's so cool!! All these cats from different clans here, all talking together!" Macaroni let out a tiny purr. "So how's your clan doing? Everyone okay?" she asked, her tail swishing back and forth.

ribbon | nb | warrior | tags: Stormbranch (ChaosClan ; Kazin)

Ribbon blinked and scratched their face. "Well, yes, everything's going.. okayish. We.. just had our first two deaths. As far as I've known, we haven't really thought about shortening the name.. Someone will call it Stella sometimes. We do consider ourselves a clan though - we have hierarchies and stuff, but.." Ribbon hummed. "I'd call us a group more than anything, actually." The curly-furred brown tabby blinked and waited for Stormbranch's response.

FREUXFRECKLE | 63 | TOM | WARRIOR | TAGGED: LIEVRESHELL

Freuxfreckle nodded as Lievreshell spoke of his new life and how CavernClan seemed to operate. "It's wonderful that you've found a place to settle down into. It seems you're happy, which is all any cat could wish for," he purred, genuinely happy about Lievreshell's family. "My own kit is already a cavalier, I can't believe it. I miss the days when he was just barely old enough to get into trouble," he sighed wistfully. Dauphinchatter had become his own tom, and he missed the days when he relied on him for everything. "Savor these young days with your kits; you'll never have them with them again," he chuckled.

BONAPARTE | 58 | TOM | GUARD | TAGGED: NETHERSTAR

Bonaparte couldn't help but shy away from Netherstar as she seemed so invested in the story of his Clan. As the questions spilled from her mouth, he began shuffling his paws anxiously. "Well, AviaryClan has existed for generations upon generations, but it went through a spell of great trouble and essentially started over. We form a bond with a bird of the forest on our first night in the Clan, and we take that bird's name as our own. Through that bird, we can converse with all cats of the past who have shared the same soul bird. We do not know why our connection was severed, but it was the worst night of our lives. The emotional pain of losing your dearest friend paired with the physical pain of someone attacking you with all of their claws and teeth at once. We don't know if anyone offended the ancestors, either," he meowed, his voice solemn and shaking.

ROBIN | 73 | MOLLY | HEALER | TAGGED: AUTUMNSONG


Robin forced a smile onto her face. "It's a lovely group of cats. At the moment, we're nomadic and trying to find our next place to settle down in. Of course, it's hard, but they're my Clan," she meowed. She had once called Sapsucker her platonic soulmate, and he was truly who her Clan was. She longed for him every second of every day, and today was no different. "What's TruffleClan like?" she purred.


ORDER OF THE HYENA !!

MINNOW'S MUMBLE | 33 | TOM | WARRIOR | TAGGED: NIGHTEMBER


Minnow's Mumble took a deep breath as he dug through his memories. "I've been to a few, but not many. It's way too far of a journey to make repeatedly," he groaned, imagining how sore his muscles would be if he attended a Gathering every single moon. He would have the most endurance out of his entire Clan, but that counted for little to nothing when your Clan prided itself on stealing prey from larger predators.


OTTER | 8 | MOLLY | APPRENTICE | TAGGED: OPEN


Otter was running in circles, spinning from cat to cat in the hopes of finding a conversation. She was oh so excited to be here that she couldn't sit still.

cockroachstar - tom - 91m - marquess/leader - tags; thunderchaser (sun spire outlaws)

Cockroachstar laughed at Thunderchaser's excitability, "When I first joined Tundraclan, I chose the name Cockroachsneeze. It didn't make sense, because, well, cockroaches don't sneeze, obviously, but I thought it was cute." He grinned. "I'm from Tundraclan! Though Cockroachclan does sound cool, I don't think my mate Hollystar would approve of changing the clan name." He smiled. "Your clan's new, huh? Well, good luck! I wasn't around when Tundraclan first began. Barely any of our current clanmates were, except for Wintersneak I suppose."

hollystar - she-cat - 86m - marchioness/leader - tags; laurelstar (auroraclan)

The silver bengal nodded in understanding. Sometimes it seemed like the greatest threats were inside of her own clan, so it was a welcome sight to have a predator around. Better than any insurgency. “We had a snow leopard attack us a few moons ago. The first one we’ve seen, actually. It was a bit of a surprise when the patrol came back and told us a snow leopard had attacked them. We’re used to arctic foxes and things like that.” Her eyes softened, “Foxes can be brutal, I hope you’re alright though, Laurelstar.lu

eveningbirch - female - 93m - earl/deputy - tags; foxglow (chaosclan)

The chimera was distracted from her thoughts as a younger she-cat bumped into her, apologizing and asking where the deputies of clans usually sat. The chimera smiled warmly, "You're just in luck, this is where we meet." her gaze shifted over where the many deputies of different clans sat a few foxlengths away from her, "I'm Eveningbirch, Earl, or, deputy I suppose, of Tundraclan."

swanflight - genderfluid (she/he) - 39m - healer- tags; vie (whiskered away)

Swanflight nodded as Vie explained the origins of ‘Sylph’. It was a pretty title, but was a bit odd. The gray bicolor brightened as Vie mentioned she was a witch, “Oh, really? That’s so cool!” He complimented the smaller cat, “How’d you learn to be a witch? Did some cat teach you or were you always just one? What kind of magic can you do? Does anyone else in your clan know how to do magic?” Swanflight couldn’t stop the questions from cascading out of his mouth. She was overexcited and extremely curious to know more.

celestialtrail - tom - 18m - healer - tags; dahliapetal + sapphirestream (bilberryclan)

Celestialtrail purred with laughter at the ginger tom’s joke, “I feel that. Tundraclan has about two hundred cats, and only four medicine cats. It can be a bit overwhelming.” he meowed. He looked over at Sapphirestream and nodded understandingly, “Oh, an apprentice? Goodluck! I think I’ll be assigned one soon, hopefully.” He looked back at Dahliapetal and spoke, “Tundraclan has been well! Our prey is still running and our cats are thriving, which I’m always grateful for.”

teddybear - female - 25m - knight - tags; frostflower (pinyonclan)

Teddybear gave a small chuckle at Frostflower’s amazement, “We eat a lot of different prey. Stoats, mice, harlequin ducks, and a bunch of other prey.” Teddybear nodded at the ragdoll’s exclamation, “Sometimes it feels like it takes a moon to walk across the entire camp, but we get used to it.” She listened as Frostflower asked a question, and gave a slight dip of her head, “It can be a bit overwhelming for older cats who join, but kits have the easiest time learning everyone. Just learning about a few cats a day as a kit means they’ll know just about every cat once they’re apprenticed.”

swordspirit - female - 22m - knight - tags; petalstar (cavernclan)

Swordspirit was still in awe of the other molly, and wanted to make as good as an impression as possible, “We try to come to the gatherings every moon, but I understand that you haven’t been able to come.” She was a bit curious as to why Petalstar and her clan had been unable to attend previous gatherings, but didn’t want to overwhelm the leaders with questions, “Tundraclan has been around for a long while.”

failnaughtfire - male - 54m - knight - tags; ivynose + rippleheart (seaclan)

Failnaughtfire grinned, “A few of my clanmates like to adopt lost kits. One of my clanmate’s had an adopted dad who spoiled her rotten.” He smiled at the thought of Raspberrybush, who had adopted Teddybear as if she were his own kit. The albino tom listened as the two talked about their other perma-queens, then spoke, “Tundraclan’s perma-queens are elders now, but still look out to help any kit in need. Maybe I’ll ask one of them sometime if they feel alright enough to come here.”

𝙨𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙣 !!

isopodstar - male - 43m - leader - tags; gem (swiftclan)

Isopodstar purred, “You’ll have nothing to worry about. I’m glad things are going well!” At Gem’s comment about the size of her clan, his mouth dropped in awe, “Four hundred? That’s amazing! Squidclan only has three cats including me, I couldn’t ever imagine having a clan that large. How does your territory cope with that many cats?” He asked. The oriental thought for a moment, “I’m not surprised you haven’t heard of my clan. It is very new, but I’m determined to make it one of the best.” He puffed out his chest with pride. Everything he would do would be for the benefit of Squidclan

sootblotch - nb - 29m - deputy - tags; light (hidden strike)

Sootblotch purred at the compliment, “Thanks so much! I like your name as well. It’s cool how your name has more than one word!” They mrrowed. “We live near a beach, so sometimes we swim. We don’t really hunt squids, and I think the origin of Squidclan is that uh… hm. I think it’s just because we live near a beach.” they nodded at his apology, “It’s okay! I understand. It can be a bit confusing.”

wrenspark - male - 55m - hunter - tags; wolfchill (chessclan)

Wrenspark nodded, “I’m glad I didn’t have the job of naming a whole clan. Way too many options!” he purred with slight laughter. The persian shivered as the molly mentioned being a leader, “I hope I never have to be leader! Too many decisions for a single cat. And I have to give names to cats? I would accidentally pair the worst prefixes with the worst suffixes just because I think they sound pretty, like Blazeburn or Lakeriver!” he meowed.

i have a lot of slots open so uhh lmk if you want me 2 bring someone

TidalClan

Eelstar - with Raggedclaw and Sagestar

The fur on eelstar’s shoulders rose in surprise at the admissions of the other leaders. “You - that’s quite a story.” He forced it flat, folding his tail over his paws to keep it from twitching. “I’m glad that - hm. At least it’s… sorted, now?”

At the other leader’s comment about tidalclan, he relaxed. “Oh, it - it’s not for everyone. I doubt many cats would enjoy wet fur at all hours, or the crabs underfoot, or the ground just not being there half the time but it’s easily defendable, food practically washes up for you and. There’s two skies. It comes down, at night, and…” his whiskers twitch, and he looks up at the stars. “It just feels so closed in here now. They’re closer, out there.”
