cats in attendance; Satinstar, Songsparrow, Flareblood, Dianthusbounce, Feathereyes, Mumpaw
Satinstar ♀ 43 moons (archangel) - tags; open
honestly, the leader did not want to bring her clan to the gathering this moon. things were going wrong at home, with strange deaths occurring, and now that a prophecy had been revealed to the clan's rit ziens, the calico was more nervous than before about leaving her camp, even for a night. but her mate and the clan's two seraphim had managed to convince her that she needed to go to the gathering, even with a small group of cats with her, to present a face to the other clans that the celestial beings were doing fine and that nothing was actually wrong; oh how much of a lie that was. as the small group of six cats that she had selected to come followed closely behind her into the clearing space, she turned to face them, her head lowered and her voice quiet. "remember. tell no one of the prophecy or the strange goings-on at camp. speak only of things that will make us look strong. we shall gather back here at the end of the night to return home as a group." as she made eye contact with each of the five cats, only when she received a nod from each of them did she finally turn away and begin to walk towards the rocky wall where the higher ranking cats would sit; not feeling any need to mingle within the rest of the regular cats like she usually would have, too caught up in her own thoughts.
Songsparrow ♀ 58 moons (rit zien) - tags; open (here for scorchfur of shoreclan)
the large molly stood by her archangel's side the entire trip from their camp to the gathering space, standing tall and confident as satinstar spoke to the small group of angels. her yellow eyes watched carefully as each of the cats split apart, wandering into the large crowd, clearly all looking for various family members. she knew that flareblood had mates in several clans and likely was looking for one of them, and his son dianthusbounce stuck by his side so he was likely looking for one of his half-siblings. feathereyes had a mate in another clan, and had had a fling with another tom before her mate who was in a clan that often attended, so the medicine cat wasnt sure who the other molly was looking for, but she knew that the fire-cracker had options. she also knew that her leader had no desire to really speak to anyone tonight, her mind likely back at camp, and so satinstar would lilely just head straight to the leader's ledge for the night. the one cat that the large tortie tabby didnt know who they were looking for tonight was little mumpaw, but she saw the pale molly standing up on a boulder in the edge of the crowd and felt comfortable enough to leave her be, turning and heading into the crowd of cats, looking for one grey tom in particular as she did. scorchfur was a handsome tom who had been creeping into her heart for the last few moons. she didnt know if he would be there tonight, and if he wasnt then she would probably just go to the ledge where the other healers sat, but she figured she'd look for him first.
Flareblood ♂ 61 moons (soldier) - tags; fernear (ravenclan) (here for tuxleap & biscuitleap of suburbclan)
the large fluffy tom was too distracted by his thoughts to really be paying attention to the words of his archangel or to feel the eyes of his rit zien; he was just lucky that his son was paying more attention than he was, and as quick as he could he slipped off into the crowd, his eyes peeled for the familiar form of one of his mates, a pretty lithe little calico that he had only recently reconnected with by pure accident. and then his nostrils flared at the familiar scent of the bearclan cats, and he swiveled quickly, his green eyes meeting her pale yellow-green eyes, and a smile appeared on his face as he bounded over to her, purring deeply as he rubbed his chin on the top of her head. "good evening my darling. how are you? how was the trip for you from your camp to the clearing?" however, he didnt wait for her to respond before speaking again, realizing that his son was standing just behind him, waiting for his father to introduce them. "oh, i nearly forgot. fernear love, this is my son dianthusbounce. dianthus, this is fernear. she was my first mate, even before your own mother. we were together before i joined the celestial beings, but we were separated. fernear, dianthusbounce is from my first litter, after our biscuit and tux that is."
Dianthusbounce ♂ 32 moons (soldier) - tags; fernear (ravenclan) (here for tuxleap & biscuitleap of suburbclan)
while the tom hoped inside of himself that his own mate, silverwind of islandclan, would be at the gathering tonight for him to hang out with, he knew that ultimately he would be staying by his father's side. his father had been determined to attend the gathering tonight, likely wanting to see one of his mates from another clan, but the younger tabby tom had made a promise to his own mother that night before the pair of them had left camp. he had promised mallowsun that he would keep an eye on his father, that he would stay with him at the gathering no matter what. their family had been through a lot in the last few moons alone, first with the death of dianthusbounce's own littermate tangfin, and then with the death of his half-brother guavaseed. his mother worried constantly about her mate breaking inside but putting on a face that he was fine, which is why dianthus had volunteered to go to the gathering with his father tonight. as the small group their clan had brought split off into different directions, he followed behind his father as the older tom had bounded towards a group of ravenclan cats. he offered a sweet smile as his purple eyes made eye contact with the calico molly, dipping his head in respect. "its nice to meet you, fernear. it's good to see my father smiling after everything we have been through recently."
Feathereyes ♀ 58 moons (soldier) - tags; killdeerpaw/mosspaw (ravenclan) (here for silversnake of ivyclan)
things were a bit rocky for a little while between her and her mate, after she had told him about her affair with a random loner that had resulted in her pregnancy. she had never really thought about that being an issue in their relationship, as she had always been a flirtatious cat and so had her mate, to her knowledge. but he had felt as though she had cheated on him, and thus had given the two kits to their father. it had been ten moons since then and she still wondered about them frequently, hoping they were still alive and thriving, but on nights like this where she would be seeing her mate, she had to force the thoughts of her dear killdeer and moss to the back of her mind, focusing instead on the handsome silver oriental tom that she knew would be waiting for her somewhere in the gathering space. as her warm yellow eyes scanned the clearing for her mate, her eyes stopped on two small forms that for some reason just seemed very familiar to her for a reason she couldnt place. they were young ticked tabbies that couldnt be more than apprentice age, but it wasnt until their little eyes, one set brown and one set green, had scanned the gathering crowds at an angle where she could actually see their eyes, did the older molly truly recognize the young cats. every hair on her body stood on end, her tail fluffing up in a way it rarely ever did, her muscles literally twitching in a desire to move from the spot she stood frozen. could... could it really be?
Mumpaw ♀ 9 moons (cheribum) - tags; open (here for hawkpaw of shoreclan)
with everything going on at camp right now, none of the other cheribum had wanted to go to the gathering; it was like they were worried that by leaving the clan's territory, they would be targets coming back into it. but the fluffy molly didnt fear the strange things that had been happening around camp as much as the other young cats, and even alot of the older cats, seemed to be afraid of it all. so when satinstar had stood before the clan, stating she was going to take a few cats with her to the gathering, but only those who wanted to go; no one would be forced. at least, that was what the deaf cat had figured out she had said, something along those lines at least, by watching the way the archangel's mouth moved, reading her lips. the little pale molly had quickly raised her paw, much to her mother's dismay, and was chosen to go. of course, now as they entered the gathering space, she felt more than a little overwhelmed by the massive amount of cats all around her; she may not be able to hear, but the huge array of different scents bombarded her sensitive nose all at once, and before she could ask one of her clanmates to stay with her, they had all dispersed into the crowd. the molly let out a low whimper as she skirted the edge of the crowd, finding a large boulder to climb up on to look out at the cats from a slightly higher angle, curious if she would see any cats she recognized from bordering clan patrols.
