Loststar - Leader - Horizonstar of Irisclan and Mochastar of Curlclan(TNH)
Loststar eyed the curled eared tom and ignore him, he turned to the molly, "Hello, I am Loststar of Stormclan."





Rivermist - Warrior - Halfnight of Venusclan
Rivermist swiped at the molly, "You piece of fox dung!" she hissed. "Get out of my way!" Rivermist's fur was on end and her claws out, she purposely missed her swipe as a warning but had no problems taking her frustrations out on this cat.





Umberleap - Warrior - Embershadow of Tidalclan and Laerke of Lotusclan
Umberleap saw the tortie tom come towards her and she smiled, "I don't mind some company, my name is Umberleap of Stormclan." Just ask she looked to the side she saw another cat nod at her and introduce themselves. She was becoming popular it seems, "I don't think we have, it is a pleasure Laerke, my name is Umberleap and this is... I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name?" She turned back to the tortie tom.

SuburbClan

Angelstar - NB (they/them) - Leader
Riverstar

"Yep!" Angelstar replied cheerfully. "By day I'm Clan leader, but when night comes I'm a kittypet!" Angelstar had heard rumors that other Clans were hostile to kittypets, but Riverstar seemed really nice, surely he wouldn't care?

Spookythorn - Male (he/him) - Deputy
Harespring

Spookythorn nodded, the bell on his collar ringing as he did. "We always have enough to eat, even ignoring the food our housefolk give us. The woods and fields are very rich with prey."

Squirrelcall - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Kash
Squirrelcall followed, not taking her eyes off of Kash. "Sort of," she replied. "Please don't judge me for this, but I'm technically a kittypet as well as a warrior. SuburbClan gathers during the day, and at night we return to our housefolk." Rapidly, she added, "I wasn't born a kittypet though. I spent most of my life back in LaurelClan before the fire."

Liontuft - Male (he/him) - Warrior
Flintfur and Springbird

Liontuft let lay flat the fur he hadn't realized was spiking up. "I'm glad you two understand. I'm really glad all six of us have found new homes, and I hope the rest of our Clanmates were just as fortunate."

Bloomwhisker - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Maul

Bloomwhisker went misty-eyed. "A massive fire broke out in our territory. My family and I only just barely managed to find each other afterwards, but we couldn't find any other survivors afterwards." She blinked, clearing her eyes and tried to look more cheerful. "Anyways, we figured that, just like us, they would seek out new Clans to join. And hopefully their new leaders would let them attend the Gathering, just like our leader let us come."

Featherpaw - Male (he/him) - Apprentice
Flintfur and Springbird

Featherpaw nodded along with his father's words. "There were a bunch of kits my age back in LaurelClan, I do miss them and wish I could be an apprentice alongside them. But maybe they've got awesome mentors somewhere in the other Clans!"

Tuxleap - Male (he/him) - Warrior
Coffeebean
"Hi Coffeebean! My name's Tuxleap, and this is my sister Biscuitstripe!" Tuxleap replied cheerfully. He was happy to meet a friendly stranger that seemed to be around his and his sister's age. Not that there was anything wrong with older or younger cats, but Tuxleap always liked being aorund peers.

Biscuitstripe - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Coffeebean
"We're both from SuburbClan," Biscuitstripe added quietly. "What Clan are you from?" She was a bit more introverted than her brother, but she wanted to make an effort and try and make a new friend today.

cats in attendance:

— — — — —

Ivyblossom
deputy / 37 f / tags: fishleap (tidalclan)

textIvyblossom laughed softly in agreement, nodding politely to Fishleap as he sat."I'm lucky to have such long fur, since SpruceClan hails from the mountains. Even still, Leafbare's cold is quite rough on the toughest of cats. I wonder what it's like to live somewhere warm year round..." Ivyblossom paused, entertaining the idea for moment. Would she rather live by the beach, or somewhere with a lot of trees? She shook herself of the train of thought, and turned back to her fellow deputy. "I assume you live in a warmer climate than mountains, right? What does TidalClan call home?"

Applefall
healer / 62 m / tags: poppyflower & kiwipaw (islandclan), with duskpaw

textThe soft, earthy smell of herbs was strong on the wind. Applefall was first to spot the source. "Duskpaw, look there!" he murmured, smiling at the nervous tortoiseshell encouragingly. "I think I see another healer coming." And sure enough, two cats trotted up to them moments later. Applefall was a cat with manners, offering them a polite smile and nod as they approached. The older tom, Poppyflower, was equally courteous and jovially introduced himself and the young apprentice by his side as Kiwipaw.

text"Pleasure to meet you!" Applefall mewed in return. "My name is Applefall, and my apprentice here is Duskpaw. We're healers of SpruceClan, though I believe most clans would know us as medicine cats."

Duskpaw
healer’s apprentice / 6 f / tags: poppyflower & kiwipaw (islandclan), with applefall

textDuskpaw, only half-listening as her mentor returned the introductions and chattered on with Poppyflower, snuck a peek at the accompanying apprentice around her age. The other she-cat met her gaze with a slight smile. Duskpaw ducked her head, suddenly shy. Applefall, not breaking eye contact with Poppyflower, nudged her gently with a tail, and she jolted. Her mentor had eyes in the back of his head! "Hi," she managed, one paw shuffling against the ground, but with both eyes trained on Kiwipaw. "I'm Duskpaw. Where are you from?"

Jayswoop
warrior / 20 m / tags: neptune & magpiecrest & juniperbloom (the gladiators)

textJayswoop pressed his forehead to his mother's side, comforting her with his presence as best he could. A reminder to Neptune that he was there. "I don't remember much about the flood, just that I was really scared. I do remember waking up somewhere cold. I couldn't smell anything, and it was really far away from home. There was this other little kitten there, too, so we banded together and started looking for someone to get help. That's when a cat named Ravenswoop found us." Jayswoop smiled as he spoke, but it didn't reach his eyes. "He showed us the way to SpruceClan, and I've been there ever since. I earned my name there, too. Jayswoop."

textRather than let himself become any more dewy-eyed before his family, Jayswoop turned to face his sister, padding towards the sullen Magpiecrest. "That name suits you," Jayswoop murmured, tilting his head to her and giving her a gentle pat with his tail. He cracked a smile, teasing gently in hopes that he might lift her spirits. "You always were queen of the litter, so it's good you've got a name to match." Turning to Juniperbloom next, Jayswoop's brow furrowed in concentration. It had been a long time since he'd signed, not since kittenhood. But he was going to give it his best shot. "Juniperbloom," he signed, a little clumsily. "It's pretty. I like it."

Pineshade
warrior / 42 m / tags: open

textA yawn bubbled up from deep within Pineshade’s chest, betraying his exhaustion as he padded into the clearing. He’d not gotten much sleep after keeping vigil for the fallen Fadedpaw with Sunhollow. He just hadn’t wanted to leave his former apprentice to face the darkness alone, despite her countless protests that he was supposed to go to the Gathering the next day. “Worth it,” he muttered tiredly to himself, and gave his head a sharp shake to stay conscious. He was really excited to be here, even if it felt like he might nod off at any second. Surely, there was some sort of company around enthralling enough to keep him alert.

Coffeebean
warrior / 26 f / tags: tuxleap & biscuitstripe (suburbclan)

text“Tuxleap and Biscuitstripe of SuburbClan,” Coffeebean said, giving each cat a nod as she repeated their names. They seemed to be close to her own age, which was always nice. “I come from SpruceClan! It’s a bit of a long walk from here. I’ve never heard of SuburbClan before... what’s it like there? Did you have to travel very far?”

GOLDEN KINGDOM

Crown of Embers
monarch / 51 m / tags: tawnyrose (highgarden), night of the stars (kyanite keep)

textNight's quiet, dry remark caught Crown of Embers completely off guard, and a sharp laugh burst out before he could help himself. "Yes," Embers chuckled, shoulders still heaving with humor, "I'd have to agree. It's quite interesting to see the differences between clan life and our own, isn't it? I certainly think our names are much more elegant." Pausing for a moment, the monarch took in the young queen before him. Night of the Stars was smaller than he was (but that was not unusual given his own impressive height), and it occured to Embers suddenly that he might be looming over her as he spoke. As smoothly as he could, Embers softened his smile and quickly settled his haunches onto the ground. Better to speak eye to eye like friends. "So tell me, how far did you travel to come here? I've heard it was quite a long journey for some."

Lily's Grace
cleric / 43 f / tags: chervil (gatos callejeros)

text Lily’s Grace hummed under her breath as she entered the Gathering. As always, she split from Crown of Embers quickly and made her way into the deepest parts of the crowd. Lily paused only a moment to brush dust from her face with a paw, clearing away any distracting smells, before scenting the clearing. Herbal, earthy aromas were what she hoped to pick up on— the tell-tale sign of another cat that spent their days paw-deep in medicinal plants. And with this many clans in attendance, it took no time at all for her to pick up a trail and follow it.

textIf her nose was telling the truth, this cat was one of her kind. “Excuse me!” she called, trotting after the source with a little thrill of interest. The stranger turned, alerted by her cries, and Lily grinned. “Yes, you there! You’re a medicine cat, right? I’ve been looking to find some good company for the evening, and I’d be honored if you wouldn’t mind sharing your time.”

Aster’s Petal
knight / 29 f / tags: open

textAster’s Petal made no noise as she snuck into the Gathering, nearly an hour late to the event. Aster had not been invited, but if she was going to successfully carry out her plan in the coming moons, she needed to be aware of Embers’ every move. She’d worked too hard, spent too many moons, to let the matter of courtesy stop her. She only broke her silence to grumble with annoyance when she found Crown of Embers’ scent to have been swallowed up by the teeming masses of strangers. Sighing, Aster’s Petal simply sprawled out onto the ground, surveying the crowds with disinterest, but offering a simpering smile to anyone that glanced her way. If she was going to have to spend her evening here, she might as well mess with some heads while she was at it.

Coffeebean
Tuxleap was eager to showcase his Clan's way of life. "SuburbClan meets in a patch of forest near twolegplace. At night we're kittypets, but during the day we're warriors!" Being relatively new to the Clan, he was unaware of the hostilities other Clans had towards kittypets.

Biscuitstripe - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Coffeebean
"The walk was pretty far too. We almost got lost trying to follow-" Biscuitstripe cut off before revealing that they snuck their way into the Gathering. "Follow directions! Yeah that's it."

I don’t really remember it, but that’s what my dad tells me, anyways.” She flushed a bit, worrying that she’d made her confusion about her own past too obvious. “Well, anyways, I’m really glad you both could make it out tonight. I had no idea that there were kittypets that also train as warriors. I learned something new today!”

Sighing, Aster’s Petal simply sprawled out onto the ground, surveying the crowds with disinterest, but offering a simpering smile to anyone that glanced her way. If she was going to have to spend her evening here, she might as well mess with some heads while she was at it.

Mochastar - Leader - Horizonstar of Irisclan and Loststar of Stormclan
Mochastar nodded, "That is good you are doing so well." He noticed the large grey tom and couldn't help but feel intimidated. He was full of scars and even has a blinded eye, when the tom just gave him a look he had to hold down the fear. He was shocked that Horizonstar would even talk to the brute, fairly brave of her to do so. He stood back and listened to the two, finding Loststar interesting.





Cocoa & Toffee - Alleycat & Lostpaw - Faonpaw and Sweethen of Chessclan
Cocoa shrugged at what his sister and mother said. "I think it will be up to mom to decided to tell them. And I wished you would have all came, but its okay. I'm just happy you both were here tonight so I could tell you." He didn't really answer his mother's question. He wanted to avoid the thought that his father was really gone and they would never see him again. He did hurt having been the one to spend the most time with Finn of all the sibling he knew.

"Chester is taking over dad's roll of watcher, he is our half brother." Toffee chimed in quietly. "He is really nice, but can be scary sometimes." she admitted, avoiding Cocoa's stare.



Kash - Kittypet - Squirrelcall of Suburbclan
"There's no shame in being a kittypet." Kash purred. He flicked his tail under her chin, his own pelt smelled of kittypet shampoo, a strange clean smell and not the usual dirt and musty smell clan cats have. "I am one myself." He added.

"I wonder if we are neighbors?" He joked. "Though I have not seen you around before and I'm usually out at random hours."



Dotty & Leo - medics - Rustleg of Marshclan
"Lots of kits and dog attacks right now. The cold also did some damage but we are still strong. What about you? What clan are you from?" Leo asked.





Heavypad - warrior - Applefoot of Lionclan
Heavypad shrugged, "It can be stressful, but you just have to kind of go with it you know? I feel like I was at the very beginning and who knows? Maybe this is how all clans start off?" The tom admitted. "It gives me a sense of pride to know I helped build this clan from the start." he added.

"Enough about me though, how are things in your clan?" He asked.





Barknose - deputy - open
Barknose sat near the other deputies he was in no particular mood to chat but was requested to come by Mochastar to help watch out for the others.

[Ariento]

SuburbClan

Angelstar - NB (they/them) - Leader
Riverstar

"Yep!" Angelstar replied cheerfully. "By day I'm Clan leader, but when night comes I'm a kittypet!" Angelstar had heard rumors that other Clans were hostile to kittypets, but Riverstar seemed really nice, surely he wouldn't care?

Spookythorn - Male (he/him) - Deputy
Harespring

Spookythorn nodded, the bell on his collar ringing as he did. "We always have enough to eat, even ignoring the food our housefolk give us. The woods and fields are very rich with prey."

Squirrelcall - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Kash
Relief flooded through Squirrelcall as she inhaled the familiar clean scent mingled with the scent of twolegs, and Kash's own unique scent that sent her heart aflutter. "I doubt we're neighbors, but maybe we don't live that far away. What's your twolegplace like? The one I live in has twoleg dens with large yards, and the thunderpaths don't have monsters on them that often. There's little stone paths next to the thunderpaths that are safe for walking on too."

Liontuft - Male (he/him) - Warrior
Flintfur and Springbird

Liontuft let lay flat the fur he hadn't realized was spiking up. "I'm glad you two understand. I'm really glad all six of us have found new homes, and I hope the rest of our Clanmates were just as fortunate."

Bloomwhisker - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Maul

Bloomwhisker went misty-eyed. "A massive fire broke out in our territory. My family and I only just barely managed to find each other afterwards, but we couldn't find any other survivors afterwards." She blinked, clearing her eyes and tried to look more cheerful. "Anyways, we figured that, just like us, they would seek out new Clans to join. And hopefully their new leaders would let them attend the Gathering, just like our leader let us come."

Featherpaw - Male (he/him) - Apprentice
Flintfur and Springbird

Featherpaw nodded along with his father's words. "There were a bunch of kits my age back in LaurelClan, I do miss them and wish I could be an apprentice alongside them. But maybe they've got awesome mentors somewhere in the other Clans!"

Tuxleap - Male (he/him) - Warrior
Coffeebean
Tuxleap looked around, and spotted the other SuburbClan cats starting to get together. "I'm so sorry, we have to go. It was nice meeting you!" He got up, and gestured for his sister to do the same.

Biscuitstripe - Female (she/her) - Warrior
Coffeebean
"Maybe we'll see each other at another Gathering!" Biscuitstripe added. She stood up as well, and waited for Coffeebean to say goodbye.

Kash - Kittypet - Squirrelcall of Suburbclan
This is great, we are not really neighbors, Kash thought. "I live more towards the city park. There is a park that opens into the forest, but I mostly stay around my home." Kash admitted. No matter how many times he told himself not to, he ended up saying where he lives. Now he has Jade living with him and some of his kits, but this molly didn't need to know that.

Kash smirked as he looked ahead, "Do you have any family?"



Dotty & Leo - medics - Rustleg of Marshclan
