cats in attendance; Stratusstar, Dockshade, Tallmouse, Nightwing, Cherrypaw.
Stratusstar โ 28 moons (leader) - tags; Troutstar
the siamese leader was glad that his question hadnt come across as rude to the other leader, finding his own blue eyes following the dark tom's eyes up to watch a flickering scar for a moment. "well thats wonderful! five cats in only three moons is definitely an accomplishment i would say! well-um, our clan shrunk a bit during the leadership of my father, but since i've taken command about six moons or so, we have grown to 10 toms, including myself and my two kithood friends, so seven new cats."
Dockshade โ 29 moons (med. cat) - tags; open!
the slender abyssinian tom stayed close to his friend's side as they made the journey from the high mountains that they called home to this much more mellow forest gathering space. the larger ragdoll had been talking his ear off the entire time about all the things that could go wrong by allowing his cats to attend, with the ever so slightly older lean tom trying to soothe each of the worries as soon as it escaped his leader's maw. as they finally entered the clearing, he could see his friend's eyes widen as the immense number of scents and sounds overtook him; dockshade had attended a few gatherings when he was younger, just a medicine apprentice by the name of dockpaw at that time, but stratusstar's father had never allowed his son to attend, and so this was the leader's very first gathering. dockshade explained to the leader that the leaders, deputies, and medicine cats all had a certain place where they would sit during the gathering, but the rest of the clan was free to wander as they like. he even lead his friend over to the rocky cliffside and leapt up onto the first ledge himself, nudging with his head for stratusstar to climb to the top ledge with the other leaders.
Tallmouse โ 34 moons (hunter) - tags; wildflame
the lean black and white bicolor tom felt his pale green-yellow eyes scan the crowd around him until they finally landed on a pretty brown cat with a fluffy-bobbed tail who had entered with a small group of other cats but had broken off from them and was, like him, standing off by herself just sort of surveying the clearing too. she held herself with an air of confidence that he could only hope to have one day, and decided maybe she could be a good influence on him, and so he mustered as much confidence as he could as he approached her with the tiniest hint of a smile, nodding his head slightly to respectfully greet her."well good evening. do you mind if i sit beside you?"
Nightwing โ 24 moons (hunter) - tags; open!
the lanky dark tom knew that his young apprentice was the most likely of their group to get into trouble at the gathering that night and so he sent up a mental prayer to the ancestors in the stars that nothing too crazy would happen to cause anything raucous to come out of his little brother's muzzle.
Cherrypaw โ 8 moons (apprentice) - tags; ourspaw
the young apprentice listened intently as the other tom spoke, taking in the information that he was saying and trying to process it all; if he remembered correctly, chessclan was even larger than the celestials were, and they didnt have the same moral compass that the angels had with their angelic hosts guiding their lives, so it only made sense that they as regular cats would have secrets from one another. however, the way that the tom's voice changed quickly from excited to nervous before he bolted away from the deputies ledge and into the clearing, and the small apprentice did his best to keep up as his new friend bounded away. "oh no i'm sorry i didnt mean to cause you any trouble! you can tell your tour that it was my fault if you like!"

Smogtongue โ 37 moons (seraphim) - tags; Cumuluscloud
the tall fluffy grey and white tom felt a purr rumble deep in his own throat at the sound of his mate's purr, feeling warmth spread through his body as his mate gave him a lick. "oh my goodness, snake's kits are already apprentices? its crazy how quickly time flies, i feel like they were just born. the celestials are doing pretty good i suppose, although satinstar lost her first life this week. there was a wild dog in our territory and the patrol managed to chase it off but only after it attacked satinstar. thats why she isnt here tonight and i am instead."
Songsparrow โ 51 moons (rit zien) - tags; open! (here for Scorchfur)
the large molly had been to plenty of gatherings before in her old clan, and even one or two as the rit zien of the celestials as well, so there was nothing knew about going to the glade and mingling with the other cats. it was slightly different now than with her old clan, since jungleclan had been far less inclined to allow any sort of relationship with other clans, but the celestials were more than happy to allow their clan to do whatever made them happy. perhaps she could find a reason to be happy...
Fleurcurl โ 25 moons (soldier) - tags; open! (here for Idothea)
the young warrior felt his excitement bubbling up inside of him, and practically talked the ear off of the rit zien as they made the trip to the gathering space, telling the older molly all about his mate from one of their ally clans and how he hoped to be able to see them at the gathering tonight. the older molly just let him talk on and on, sort of zoning him out which he could tell but he didnt care, he wasnt going to shush him self up. as they burst into the clearing, he immediately bolted off into the crowd in search of the pretty brown shorthair form, giving bold smiles & loud chirps of hello to anyone who met his eye.
Mohini โ 36 moons (soldier) - tags; rustleg
the speckled molly was curious what this stranger had heard about her new clan; of course, the celestials has been attending gatherings for far longer than she had been alive. "well i appreciate your kindness. its definitely been a change of lifestyle, going from the comfort of a kittypet to the wilds of a clan. its hard for me to compare our clan being different to others since its the only one i've ever been in you know? but i do know that our ranks are named different things, and that we split warriors into two separate ranks depending on their strengths."
Phirozashatter โ 38 moons (soldier) - tags; PEUWOBBLE
the smoke tom didnt really say anything, simply keeping his tail on the munchkin's back as he sat down; he knew better than to abandon his blind friend or he would never hear the end of it, but he felt like sightblaze and peuwobble were connecting and he didnt want to say anything to ruin the moment. the massive cat was honestly shocked at his friend's willingness and openness talking to this other cat; usually sightblaze was very shy and uncomfortable around new cats, but the chimera wondered if it was because of this peuwobble having something different about him as well that made sightblaze feel more comfortable...
Sightblaze โ 32 moons (messenger) - tags; PEUWOBBLE
the munchkin tom's little legs were growing tired from standing so still for so long in that one place, and so he took the pause of conversation to turn a quick circle and seat himself comfortably, with his tail flickering constantly without him realizing it. he obviously couldnt tell physically if the other cat was smiling or anything, but he could hear the way that their voice seemed to perk up in tone and inflection, and he could only hope it meant that they were becoming friends. "i think that i can picture you pretty well in my mind now; youre lucky to have large ears, i wish mine were larger. without my eyes, i rely so much on my other senses; larger ears would help me hear more things farther away or at a lower volume. i understand having a past that you almost prefer not to remember; just like you used to be avery, i used to be inferno."
Emeraldchin โ 33 moons (messenger) - tags; baconbitz & vixen
the fluffy chocolate calico couldnt help but feel surprised as not one but two other mollies from apparently different clans approached her in an attempt at friendship and the large smile that came onto her face was so excited and friendly she couldnt keep her feelings at bay as she looked between the two. "it is really quite exciting, youre right! before joining the celestials, i never quite realized how many cats even were in the world; we're a big clan you see, well over a hundred cats. but i love it, we all just feel like one big family. and of course you can walk with us baconbitz! the more the merrier! i love making friends! i'm emeraldchin, of the celestial beings."
Silkpaw โ 11 moons (cheribum) - tags; nimbuscurl
the fluffy grey molly knew that she needed to calm down a bit or she feared she would scare her father away, and so she forced herself to sit down at her father's side, curling her floofy tail around her front paws to hide the fact that she was digging her claws into the ground to release some sort of energy. "mother is doing good! she is glad to be back at her messenger duties; sitting in the nursery all day was just as boring for her as it was for me. she actually would take me out to play in the meadow when i was still too young to train and would wrestle with me and stuff. she's a great mom."
Freesiapaw โ 10 moons (cheribum) - tags; Cicadapaw
the white and black bengal molly was grateful that the cat that she had approached seemed to be friendly and willing to make friends with her; she would grow to be more confident as they spoke more, but she was always a bit nervous meeting new cats, afraid they wouldnt like her for some reason. "yeah thats right! islandclan, our seraphim smogtongue's mate lives there! actually i think alot of our clanmates have romances between our clans." she giggled a bit at the words she spoke, wondering if she would ever find love someday.
Walruspaw โ 10 moons (cheribum) - tags; leopardpaw
the brown and white tabby's claws dug into and out of the ground repeatedly in an attempt to calm herself and keep from bouncing around; she was known for her endless energy, something that drove her mentor and mother both crazy at times, but everyone said she would grow more calm as she got older. "its nice to meet you leopardpaw! islandclan thats one of our border clans i think." her eyes flickered to his own, noticing the way that he looked at her fangs but in curiosity not fear, and her grin grew. "my mother said that my fangs passed through her bloodline. rumor has it that somewhere in our lineage were vampires." she giggled a bit, wiggling her eyes dramatically; she knew most cats didnt believe in the supernatural, but being who she was, she knew just how real they were.
Papayapad โ 16 moons (messenger) - tags; bluebell & bunchberry
the white and orange Tom wandered around the gathering space aimlessly; he didnโt have many friends in other clans to be looking for but he wanted to change that! Just then he saw two mollies right beside him run into each other and his gentlemanly manners kicked in as he approached them to offer a paw. but before he could say anything, one of the mollies actually walked into him as well, and he couldnt help the low chuckle in his throat as he gave the two mollies a polite smile. โwell i noticed you too trip over each other and was going to offer my assistance, but seems like ive managed to insert myself just a bit too much into your way. i'm papayapad, may i ask your names?โ
