Thistletuft - tom - deputy - a longhaired solid gray-and-white cat with yellow eyes - tagged; Marchsnow (DuckClan)

Thistletuft nodded at the DuckClan deputy's words and mewed, Indeed, I do. We live up in the Northlands, as we call it, far north of here. Not so north as to have snow all around," he added hastily, "but the leafbares are tough for most cats with shorter fur who are not used to the weather there." He concluded, chuckling a little, "Most clans would scare their kits with tales of Twoleg monsters or wolves. We scare our kits into behaving with sharks. Big, giant fish who have razor-sharp teeth," the gray tom clarified.

Bramblingpaw - she-cat - medicine cat apprentice - a longhaired torbie with yellow eyes - tagged; Cowpaw (RyeClan), traveling with Avocetpaw

Bramblingpaw wasn't so excited to be here. Leafbare was coming up, and there was so much to prepare for it back home, but Carrotstar, Leafwhisker, and all the other senior warriors had insisted on attending. Sandripple decided he would attend, and had insisted on both apprentices to follow him. Bramblingpaw had protested, but had failed.

Avocetpaw, in the meantime, was looking forward to the Gathering. Sure, she had leafbare on her mind too, but Bramblingpaw's insistence at staying behind annoyed her slightly. The Gathering was a chance for the black-and-white she-cat to make friends outside of SeaClan, and to be honest? She didn't get along with most of the Clan due to her lack of belief in StarClan.

Either way, Cowpaw's "Hey!" was a welcome distraction for both she-cats. The two medicine cat apprentices looked up to see the RyeClan apprentice and they padded toward her, with Bramblingpaw offering a cheerful "Hello!"

Silverdapple - she-cat - medicine cat - a shorthaired black-based silver mackerel torbie with light amber eyes - tagged; Duskpaw (SpruceClan)

Silverdapple nodded in sympathy and meowed, "I feel you about lack of native herbs. I, too, find it difficult to find herbs in our territory. We live up on a cliff, and it's mostly barren, save for a tall pine tree and the camp, which is located well away from the edge, so some vegetation there." She smiled slightly as she mused, "Before I joined CloudClan, I heard rumors of the Clan. Of how mothers taught their kits to run fast, to avoid getting caught by hawks and eagles. Turns out," she added, "the modern iteration of the Clan hasn't been around for so long."

Nutmegdawn - she-cat - warrior - a longhaired black-based classic caliby Persian with brown eyes - tagged; Bellmelody, Bogbelly (Frosne), traveling with Peppermintcloud

Listening to the two Frosne cats, the two Persians nodded and hummed with growing fascination at their descriptions of their territory. When the descriptions ended, Peppermintcloud meowed, "I can't imagine living somewhere with so much snow and ice around!" His mate shivered slightly and mewed, "Where we come from, snow only comes during leafbare. We have yet to see how leafbare is spent in IceClan, as we joined recently, but I'm looking forward to it." "We," Peppermintcloud added gently, and Nutmegdawn purred in response, blushing slightly.

RAVENCLAN

Featherchest; Cloudstripe

she placed a paw on his. "you know you don't have to go public, right." She meowed "I don't care if the rest of your clan knows how I feel about you; as long as you do, my heart is content." She subtly licked his nose and let out a small laugh.

Greenflash; Mintfur, Crookedstrike

"She does, don't worry!" Greenflash laughed "Besides, Skinknose gave me a once over. I trust her word above all else. You know she just had her fourth litter. I want a lot of kits, but four litters seems like a lot!"

coalstar // female // 30 moons // tags: clementineflower (court of the butterflies)

coalstar's gaze followed where the ginger molly was pointing to and spotted a dilute calico near where they were, seemingly in deep conversation with an older tom. that must be who she was talking about. sunlight seemed fine at first glance, though, so the leader wasn't able to tell exactly what had happened. whatever it was, it must have been pretty minor. though coalstar knew better than to pry about that kind of stuff, especially when it came to cats from other clans. "that's good. it's been quiet in lightclan, though I don't have much of a problem with that." she said with a soft chuckle. she saw quiet as a good thing, it meant that nothing negetive was happening. though fortunately nothing bad had happened yet. she was grateful for that, coalstar already had enough things to worry about. hearing about the molly's injury did spark a memory from the she-cat, though. "oh, a few moons ago we found a young molly who wasn't in the best of shape." she paused for a moment. "she isn't here at the gathering, but she's fine now! thankfully she recovered fairly quickly." it was true, a while ago a passing patrol had found an injured sorreltuft by the clan's borders. so many other things had happened since then, and it took coalstar a few seconds to recall the situation as a whole. nowadays, so many other thoughts occupied her mind and fought for her attention.


stagleap // male // 27 moons // tags: frostgaze (snowclan)

fortunately for stagleap, the other tom seemed to be warming up a little bit. that was good, he felt a little better talking to him now. he nodded slowly as he listened to frosteyes describe his own clan's territory. in all honesty, he felt a bit dense for asking what snowclan was like. wasn't the name telling enough? but it was the only thing that the tom could think to ask on the spot. nontheless, it sounded so much different than where lightclan was. stagleap didn't even remember the last time he saw snow. and he knew that most of his clan hadn't even seen snow once in their lifetime. "makes sense." the light brown tom said with a small nod. "lightclan has a lot of open fields, but our camp is well-protected." he paused before adding, "it's not half bad, though. the weather's never really that harsh." that was one thing he was especially fond of in lightclan, the lack of bad weather. he liked the cool, calm breeze that seemed to be constantly running through his clan's territory. and he never had to worry much about any oncoming storms, either, and how they would damage the camp. it saved a lot of time and effort that could be used for other things.

mistyhaze // female // 30 moons // tags: metalcry (sloughclan)

eyes wide, mistyhaze quickly turned to face whoever had run into her. thankfully, though, the molly was able to recover from her initial surprise within a few moments. pausing for only a few moments, she took a second to calm her nerves. while definitely unexpected, part of her was glad that she had someone to talk to. it wasn't like she wanted to spend the gathering wandering around aimlessly, anyway. the molly had never been too keen on actually going up and introducing herself to someone else, anyway. though she didn't know exactly why, it always made her feel a bit anxious. she paused for a moment, listening intently as the handsome tom introduced himself to her. "oh no, you're fine! I should've been watching where I was going." mistyhaze said with a light chuckle, hoping that it would mask the embarassment she felt. she usually wasn't this on edge, after all, and didn't want to come off as such. "I'm mistyhaze of lightclan." she said, allowing a soft smile to spread across her face.

frecklenose // 17 moons // tags: romarintuft (chessclan)

the molly returned the tom's smile, glad that he seemed to be in higer spirits now. she curled her fluffy tail gently around her paws, giving him her full attention as he introduced himself. romarintuft sounded like an interesting name. in a good way, of course. she couldn't recognize the word romarin, though, it didn't sound familiar to her at all. if she were to guess, though, it was most likely from a different language entirely. she wasn't completely sure, but it still seemed nice to her. the molly paused for a moment, noticing that the conversation seemed to have halted for a second. romarintuft seemed to be lost in his thoughts again, though she didn't want to seem rude by inturrupting him. frecklenose didn't seem to pay much attention to the tom's embarassment, though. her mind was constantly buzzing with so many other thoughts, anyway, and she would hate to put someone on the spot like that. all it would do was cause unneeded discomfort. giving romarintuft an inquisitive look, she tilted her head slightly to the side. "where are you from, anyway?" she paused again, taking a moment to think before adding, "I'm from lightclan. we don't live very close to here, though."

bearstep // male // 20 moons // tags: flaxduck (duckclan)

the other tom listened intently, nodding along as flaxduck spoke. thankfully for him, it was seldom that it got very hot in lightclan territory. besides a handful of days in the summer when it was too hot, and a couple times in the winter where it was pretty cold, the weather was usually very mild. sunny most of the time, yes, but it usually didn't warm up too much. bearstep couldn't stop himself from letting out a small, amused chuckle when the other tom brought up the topic of ducks again. he really liked ducks, didn't he? but the other tom truly seemed excited talking about ducks, so it would be best to just go along with it. besides, he was more than happy to talk about ducks, too. in all honesty, he was very fond of animals in general. bearstep paused for a moment, trying to remember how many ducks he had seen during his time in lightclan. he hadn't been part of the clan for very long, but that was understanable considering that it was still fairly new. he had seen a few ducks on patrol, though. "we don't have very many ducks, but I've seen a good few of them outside of camp." the dark brown tom said thoughtfully, nodding slowly as he spoke. "I'm guessing that there are a lot of ducks in duckclan, right?" he thought that it would make a lot of sense if there were. after all, there had to be a reason that the clan was called duckclan.


swancry // female // 19 moons // tags; cloudynight (hazeclan)

swancry couldn't help but feel relieved that the other cat seemed friendly enough. fortnuately, he didn't seem like the overwhelming type either. she didn't know if she could handle talking anyone overenthusiastic right now. with a . she did, however, take note of the fact that the tom introduced himself as his clan's medicine cat. "another medic too, eh?" the molly said, a small smile creeping on her face. she meant it, swancry genuinely enjoyed talking to other medics. it was one thing that she could relate to, anyway. she sat down by the other medicine cat, curling her sleek tail neatly around her paws. at cloudynight's question, the molly paused for a moment. why was she here? the completely honest answer was that she was almost forced to go, but that might be a bit too honest for her to say. it might be best to say something a bit nicer. giving her shoulders a small shrug, the white molly straightened her posture. "well, I'm not entirely sure." she admitted with a small chuckle. hopefully it would mask the discomfort she felt about the gathering as a whole. other cats weren't exactly her thing, after all. after a few moments she added, "just wanted to extend my horizons, I guess. meet some cats, get to know some other clans." it wasn't too far from the truth, swancry truly wanted to learn about the other clans. they were pretty interesting to hear about, at least from her prior experiences.

eggnog // female // 13 moons // tags; kitty (opal's circus)

eggnog tilted her head slightly, taking on a pensive expression. quite frankly, the young molly had never really paid much attention to lightclan's relationships with other clans. she did know, however, that lightclan had a handful of allies already. as a fairly friendly clan, they tried to keep good relations with the other groups they came across. but so many things had happened in eggnog's life as of late, it was hard to focus on everything that was happening in her clan. and besides, she knew that she wasn't known to have the best attention span. however, the name opal's circus did sound a famliar to her, so maybe she had heard it before after all. coalstar had most likely discussed it with the clan as a whole before. so it would make sense if it turned out that both clans were actually allies with one another. kitty would probably know about it more than her, though. "huh, I think we are." the molly said, her expression brightening. "that would be so cool!" eggnog very much liked the idea of her clan having allies. that would mean that she could visit friends in other clans. how cool would that be?

briarstar -- leader -- she-cat -- tags: raptorstar(chaosclan)
Briarstar wondered what raptorstar was trying to do, smile? it didn’t look much like one. she smiled back -hoping that it was a smile- and mewed, “snowy, cold. in the spring it’s nice though. how about in..” she couldn’t quite pronounce the word, “chaosclan?”

frosteyes -- deputy -- tom -- tags: stagleap(lightclan)
“that must be nice.” frosteyes replied, “sometimes I wonder why briarstar chose the place she did.” frosteyes paused, “though I like the snow, it’s nice.”

glimpsebark -- med cat -- she-cat -- tags: owlglare(tidalclan)
“oh,” glimpsebark paused, “we aren’t that new. we’ve been around for 8, 9? moons now. you’ve probably never met a snowclan cat before.” glimpsebark smiled, hoping she didn’t sound rude.

lakedusk -- warrior -- she-cat -- tags: jayfur(hazeclan)
she bounced like a kit, “how’d you know? and yes! I’m lakedusk?” she said it as a question, peculiar, “who are you?” a bright smile was shown in the warrior’s face.

jinglenose and scorchcry sat in the middle of the large bunch of gathering cats, talking to each other. the young couple had recently become mates, and were now having quarrels more frequently.

l i g h t c l a n

coalstar // female // 30 moons // tags: clementineflower (court of the butterflies)

she nodded slowly, fully agreeing with clementineflower. "I'm glad, too." she said softly, her face falling into a frown. at such a young age, sorreltuft had gone through so much already. though the younger molly understandably tended to avoid the topic, coalstar couldn't begin to imagine what it could have been like for her. fiercely protective of all her clan's members, the young leader didn't like to think of them in those kinds of situations. giving her head a small shake, she brought her attention back to the ginger she-cat. taking note of the expression on clementineflower's face, she thought that it might be best to change the subject. it didn't seem like either molly wanted to continue thinking about such a dark topic. "what's the territory like in your clan? I don't think I ever asked." strange question, but it was the only thing that the black and white molly could think of. she wanted to steer clear of anything upsetting. clementineflower seemed to have a lot on her mind as it was, and coalstar didn't want to add to that by making her worry.


stagleap // male // 27 moons // tags: frostgaze (snowclan)

he couldn't help but nod in agreement with the white tom's words. lightclan territory was a pretty nice place to live. his ears perked as he heard the unfamiliar name, taking note of the suffix "-star". briarstar. she must be snowclan's leader. stagleap pondered for a moment what it would be like to live in the snow. the leader, briarstar, must have chosen that area for a reason. "y'know, I can't say I've ever seen snow before." the deupty admitted. of course, he had heard of snow from others before- the fluffy white flakes that fall from the sky during the colder seasons. the only thing he could think of is how cold it must be there. in all honesty, he wasn't very used to colder temperatures. the weather in lightclan had always been fairly mild for the most part, so he hadn't experienced harsh weather that much. while he was grateful for that, it also meant that he didn't have much of a chance to grow a tolerance for the more extreme weather. frosteyes had said he liked the snow, though, so maybe it wasn't all that bad.

mistyhaze // female // 30 moons // tags: metalcry (sloughclan)

eyes wide, mistyhaze quickly turned to face whoever had run into her. thankfully, though, the molly was able to recover from her initial surprise within a few moments. pausing for only a few moments, she took a second to calm her nerves. while definitely unexpected, part of her was glad that she had someone to talk to. it wasn't like she wanted to spend the gathering wandering around aimlessly, anyway. the molly had never been too keen on actually going up and introducing herself to someone else, anyway. though she didn't know exactly why, it always made her feel a bit anxious. she paused for a moment, listening intently as the handsome tom introduced himself to her.

CHESSCLAN !!

ROOKSTAR || Roi || Tom || 51 Moons || Tagged: Sun’s Guiding Light (The Court of the Butterflies)

Rookstar chuckled, knowing any Clan cat worried when their leader was injured. "Any time I try to go on patrol, the Clan practically freaks out. It's like their leader sustaining a minor scratch is the end of all existence," he meowed, his eyes crinkling as he laughed. Hoping he hadn't offended the molly by laughing, he dipped his head respectfully at her fresh scar. "I'm glad to hear everything is fine, though. It's always scary to lose a life," he meowed, hoping she couldn't hear the lie in his voice. His former mate Chasmstar held all the lives, and he only had the one. If he lost his one life, that would be the end of their ruling.

CHASMSTAR || Dame || Molly || 42 Moons || Tagged: Marlon (Earthfall)


Chasmstar's entire body vibrated as she surged into the Gathering. She had eyes for only one pelt, and she sifted through the mass of cats until she spotted the eyes that made her blood boil. She wouldn't let him get the better of her this time, no she wouldn't. She stalked across the ground until she reached the tom, twisting around to run her thick tail underneath his chin in a greeting. "Hello, darling," she purred, her voice silky smooth yet dripping with all the venom she could muster. "I sure hope this past moon has brought as much misery upon your shoulders as it possibly could," she chirped brightly, as if she hadn't just blatantly insulted and wished harm on another cat. Her eyes were turned up in a wicked smile, and she winked at the tom before sweeping herself in a circle and sitting with her tail wrapped tightly around her paws. With one final action to complete her strange hello, she reached up with a paw and lightly tapped the tom's nose with a kit-like grin.


RICHTERSCREECH || Tour || Tom || 61 Moons || Tagged: Ivyblossom (SpruceClan)


Richterscreech let out a nervous chuckle as the image of Violindapple crashing down the cliffside flashed through his mind, but he visibly swatted the memory away with his paw. "Things were rough for a little bit after a small patrol accident, but we're doing fine now. I'm still on light duty myself, and it's a wonder Wolfwhiskers even allowed me to come tonight," he chuckled, flexing his injured leg experimentally. Patrolling accidents were common among the Clans, but he didn't feel it necessary to share news of the molly's death with another Clan with it so fresh in every cat's mind. "What about SpruceClan? Are things looking better?" he asked, politely dancing around Ramsey's death. He didn't want Ivyblossom to dwell on bad memories, and he felt positively horrible for bringing him up in the first place. He would have to ask Butterflyleap when he returned home if she knew, and then he would curse Wolfwhiskers if she did. His no news policy was going to have to go if it kept him from knowing such a fact.


WOLFWHISKERS || Fou || Tom || 66 Moons || Tagged: Emberspark (HazeClan)


Wolfwhiskers's pelt itched with excitement as he padded past Rookstar with as much dignity as he could muster. The long, tiring days of being the Fou took their toll, but he looked forward to the Gatherings with a passion. They were, after all, the place with the highest chance that he could see Emberspark at. He didn't understand why this molly had so essentially swept him off his paws in just a few meetings, but she had become a face he saw in his dreams. He wove through the cats with only one purpose in mind, paying no attention to the joyful family reunions or the excited meetings of mates that lived in separate Clans. He shouldered one such pair aside, muttering an apology, before he spotted Emberspark next to two other cats. Doubt clouded his judgement, making him falter and wonder if he should even approach her. Pushing the thoughts aside, he surged towards her with a small smile. "Emberspark! How strange to see you here," he joked, silently cursing himself for the sarcasm. He wasn't usually like this! He was supposed to be calm, composed, and quiet. He was supposed to be the grumpy Fou, but Emberspark undid all of that.


PAPILLONSHIMMER || Cavalier || Molly || 28 Moons || Tagged: Apisbumble (SloughClan)

Papillonshimmer was ecstatic to see her sister, and she slowly reached forward to press her nose to Apisbumble's. "How are things going in SloughClan?" she meowed, hoping she wouldn't push her sister to talk more than she was comfortable with. "ChessClan's been rather quiet these past few moons, but the nursery sure is starting to fill up," she chuckled, her ears flicking as she felt the absence of her butterfly wings. She typically left them at camp when attending Gatherings so as not to cause any accidents or get them messed up. She didn't want to be pushed and have one wing torn as no cat could sew and fix any rips or tears. She blinked expectantly at Apisbumble, hoping to hear any juicy details about her life.

CRÉCERELLEFLIGHT || Cavalier || Tom || 53 Moons || Tagged: Morasspounce (SloughClan)

A purr exploded from Crécerelleflight's throat, the sound almost dragging him forward as he searched her eyes for permission to show any form of affection. He was so terrified that he'd cross a line she didn't want to, and he hovered in an awkward stance. "It's so good to see you," he croaked softly, eyes softening as he searched every visible inch of her for injury. The one thing about caring for a cat in another Clan was that you couldn't always know if they were injured on the day it happened. It had become habit, almost, to check for any visible wounds when he first spotted her, and he sighed with relief when he could see nothing alarming. Her beautifully emerald green pelt seemed almost to shine in the moonlight, and the tom pulled a paw up to awkwardly smooth the ruffled fur along his chest. His strangely speckled legs caught his eye, and he quickly licked the dirt from one otherwise pristine patch of white. He lifted his eyes slowly, a small smirk sliding across his face as he made eye contact with Morasspounce.

ROMARINTUFT || Cavalier || Tom || 15 Moons || Tagged: Frecklenose (LightClan)

Romarintuft listened politely to Frecklenose's mentioning of where she came from, and then he offered his response to her question. "I come from ChessClan. My territory is really far from here. We leave almost a day early," he chuckled, knowing that they didn't attend every Gathering because they couldn't make the journey that often. "How are things going in your Clan?" he asked, his voice sounding genuinely interested in what the molly had to say. He was hoping that he was being polite, but he couldn't be sure. This was, after all, his first Gathering.

KATTER AV DEN FROSNE ØYA

MOOSESTAR || Dronning || Molly || 58 Moons || Tagged: Squirrelflash (Evergreen Park)


Moosestar stared at herself in the puddle, quickly grooming her ruffled fur as she scoffed. She wasn't about to attend the Gathering looking like she just rolled out of her nest, that was for sure. Yet, that was the truth of what had happened. She had spent much of the past moon in her nest with Aukkit, Dallkit, and Verglaskit. After the accident which resulted in her losing a life and two of her kits being severely injured, she would take no chances. Fierce motherly protective instincts flooded through her, temporarily distracting her. She spun, narrowly missing another cat with her tail. "I'm sorry," she meowed, noticing the cat was in the leaders area. "I'm Moosestar," she meowed quickly, introducing herself so as not to be rude.


OYSTERSNAP || Hertuger || Tom || 94 Moons || Tagged: Atlasrain (ChaosClan)


Oystersnap dipped his head to Atlasrain respectfully before he sat down. “I traveled a long ways,” he meowed, his croaking voice finally smoothing into a soft bass. “And what about you? Did you have to come very far?” he meowed, shuffling his paws against the ground as he hoped he wasn’t being too forward. This was to be one of his last Gatherings, and he wanted to enjoy himself. He knew that once he retired from being Hertuger he would need to stay at camp with the rest of the older cats. Yet, he found himself not wanting to. He resolved to pester Moosestar to allow him to return to Gatherings even after he retired. The long journey may be too much sometimes, but he would be willing to make it other times.


CROOKEDSTRIKE || Nedre Beskyttere || Molly || 31 Moons || Tagged: Mintfur (SpruceClan) & Greenflash (RavenClan)

Crookedstrike's heart yearned to tell Mintfur that she could understand all of his words even when they got confusing. "Oleanderthorn had better know what he's doing," she snorted, shaking her head so that her ears flapped. "If Tombecho or Maplesong even knew of my pregnancy, I wouldn't have been here tonight," she meowed, her eyes suddenly going wide. She hadn't meant to let it slip that she hadn't informed her Clan of her pregnancy, and she just leaned closer to the two cats. When Mintfur tapped her with his tail, she purred and leaned forward to press her nose to his. The comforting gesture was one she hoped would do the trick to calm him, but she was never the best at these things. At Greenflash's excitement, she just chuckled. "I can't wait to meet my own, that's for sure. I'm just curious how many there will be," she chuckled, a slight flash of alarm crossing her face at the thought of having six kits all at once. The largest litter in Frosne had only been four kits, but she wouldn't mind having more. To say everything truthfully, she could care less how many she had. She was just excited to be having them. At Greenflash's mention of Skinknose, who had four litters, Crookedstrike's eyes widened. "I could never imagine having that many kits," she meowed with a laugh.

BELLMELODY & BOGBELLY || Lavere Jagere || Molly & Tom || 24 & 25 Moons || Tagged: Nutmegdawn & Peppermintcloud (IceClan)

Bellmelody grinned as Nutmegdawn and Peppermintcloud acted like an elderly couple, one that had been together for too many moons to count. She hoped to find a love like that someday, but she had to suppress the thoughts of that love being Bogbelly. "I was brought into Frosne as a young kit, so I've essentially grown up there. Same thing goes for Bogbelly," she meowed, answering for the tom who seemed lost in his thoughts. "Huh?" he meowed, blinking in embarrassment as he realized he'd missed a whole conversation point. Bellmelody giggled at the tom's response, and she turned back to the two IceClan cats. "Your territory sounds pretty nice. I could never imagine living somewhere without all the snow and ice," she chuckled, twisting their own words back at them.

DIPPERDUO || Seniorbeskyttere || Molly || 54 Moons || Tagged: Briarwind (Viridian Court)

Dipperduo rolled her eyes as Lemmingpaw and Gingerbreadpaw quarreled, and she coughed as Bellmelody and Bogbelly broke off into the crowd. The two were so clearly pining after the other, but each were just as oblivious to the other's thoughts. "Young cats," she sighed, turning and facing a cat she hadn't known was there. Trying to play it off like she'd known she was where the entire time, she smirked and ran her eyes across the crowd. "Young warriors are oblivious to cats crushing on them, and then apprentices are always annoying some cat," she chuckled, knowing Gingerbreadpaw and Lemmingpaw's rivalry wasn't the only one in the Clan. She enjoyed the gossip of the Clan, especially the ones surrounding relationships. The beginning of the Aurorashine, Orionstrike, and Marbledrose group had been such an exciting time. Now two of the mollies were due any day now, and Dipperduo didn't believe anything could break the bond of the three cats.

LEMMINGPAW || Lærling || Tom || 16 Moons || Tagged: Echopaw (SloughClan)

Lemmingpaw's shimmering coat seemed almost metallic in the moonlight, and he shivered as he sidestepped away from Gingerbreadpaw. The young molly was trying to push him into the stream, and he was having none of it. "Stop it, you little pest!" he snapped, pinning his ears back to his head and snarling. Gingerbreadpaw looked up at him with wide eyes before dashing away through the crowd, and Lemmingpaw spun to be nose to nose with a stranger. "Uh, hello there," he meowed, gulping as the nerves of meeting a new cat began to flood through his system. He stumbled over a few syllables before he shut his mouth, hoping for the molly to take the conversation and run with it. He was much larger than her, and he assumed she was a younger apprentice. He was, after all, nearly as old as some of the Lavere Jagere and Nedre Beskyttere. That wasn't mentioning his legs that were longer than most cats', of course.

GINGERBREADPAW || Lærling || Molly || 6 Moons || Tagged: Impalapaw (SloughClan)

Gingerbreadpaw bounced from paw to paw, chirping excitedly as she repeatedly slammed her shoulder into Lemmingpaw's legs. When the older tom spun and snapped at her, tears clouded her vision and she dashed away from him. Without watching where she was going, she slammed into a tom's chest with a cry of surprise. "Oh, I'm so sorry," she sniffled, wiping the tears from her eyes with her paw. She had just been trying to lighten Lemmingpaw's mood. He always seemed so serious, and he finally just snapped at her. She pouted, sticking her bottom lip out and searching the surrounding cats for his beautiful pelt. Strangely enough, she couldn't see him. Deciding to move past the current thoughts, she turned back to the tom she'd run into. "I'm Gingerbreadpaw. You are?"

HazeClan

Pantherstar | Leader | Molly | Tagged: Open
Not concerned with what other cats might thinking with her finally showing up to gathering when her clan mates had come so often latley where she had not, Pantherstar held her head high as she padded into the gathering. She knew if someone dared challenge her ways she would happily put them in their place. With the past few rough moons she had Pantherstar was not up to dealing with any cats bull crap.

Starlingflight | Deputy | Tom | Tagged: Open
Following beside Pantherstar and Jayfur, the still often shy tabby tom looked around. It had been awhile since he last attended one, however he always had fond memories of gatherings. After all he had met so many wonderful cats before. This time was no acceptation, although he never did stray to far from Pantherstar. She gave him the confidence he needed and even believed that he would one day take her place as leader.

Jayfur | Adviser | Tom | Tagged: Lakedusk (SnowClan)
Letting out an amused chuckle, Jayfur smiled once more. "I'm Jayfur. And as a father, I know many looks and how to read younger cats. After all I was once new to gatherings myself. Trust me it can be a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get the first one out of the way the others aren't so bad." Jayfur explaied.

Cloudynight | Med. Cat | Tom | Tagged: Swancry (LightClan)
Upon seeing the other medicine cat take seat, the large fluffy black and white tom did the same. Upon doing so Cloudynight debated on curling his tail around his paws or leaving it lie beside him. With a small shake of his head of getting hung up over a silly detail the tom let his tail rest beside him rather than on his paws. He flicked his ears a bit as he listened to Swancry speak before nodding his head in approval at her answer. "I can't blame you there... Experiencing a gathering is always so different each time. You never know what sort of cats you'll meet." he meowed.

Vaporpaw | Med. Cat Apprentice | Tom | Tagged: Pikapaw (ChaosClan)
Vaporpaw let out a purr of amusement at how excited the other apprentice was. He could understand why, after all it was his first gathering and first time meeting other cats outside of his clan. "Well I'm from HazeClan. When I first became an apprentice I did choose to follow the path of a warrior, but now recently after something bad happening in our clan I decided to take the route of the medicine cat. Something about it just seemed to fit better than training to be a warrior. So training is slow since I have to learn different things and I'm starting late, but my mentor Cloudynight says I'm catching on quickly!" Vaporpaw explained.

Emberspark | Warrior | Molly | Tagged: Wolfwhiskers (ChessClan)
Upon seeing a familiar tom bond toward her, the ginger and white tabby molly couldn't help but let out a purr while she smiled brightly. "Wolfwhiskers!" she meowed, touching noses with the tom as he came closer. Upon hearing his joke Emberspark couldn't help but let out a small chuckle, following along with it. "I know, 'what' a coincidence." she teased. She had been through a lot and felt so alone for some time now, but with Wolfwhiskers Emberspark finally began to feel that fire and drive once more. With him she wasn't so alone.

Wrenwillow | Warrior | Molly | Tagged: Snakefur (CloverClan)
Upon seeing Emberspark meet up with some cat she clearly knew from other gatherings and Peridotgaze disappearing in the sea of cats, Wrenwillow was alone. That was until a dark colored tom approached her and introduced himself as Snakefur. Respectfully dipping her Wrenwillow smiled shyly before speaking. "Hello... I'm Wrenwillow." she meowed.

Peridotgaze | Warrior | Molly | Tagged: Open

IvyClan

Turnstonefeather | Spy | Molly | Tagged: Eagkespeak (Court of Butterflies)
Although never experiencing a gathering before and hearing about them, it came as a surprise when the calico molly came across one. She decided to take her normal walk and found her paws just leading her onward. Knowing there was a chance Snailstar could become angry if she found out that Turnestonefeather had come to one. the calico molly was hesitant to stay or not. That was until a handsome oddly strange looking ginger tom padded over and introduced himself. "I'm... I'm Turnstonefeather." she meowed shyly.

( ↟ RYECLAN ARRIVES
────────────────────────────────────────── ✦
cats attending: morningstar, amberlight, willapool, penguinpaw, cowpaw

morningstar
matron 33m ♀ - T: OPEN TO LEADERS
Morningstar watched the scene around her. Chaos, but exciting chaos!

amberlight
deputy 41m ♀ - T: OPEN
Amberlight snored loudly.

willapool
hunter 25m ♀ - T: BLITZJUMP + FALLOWDUST (tidalclan)
Willapool jumped in surprise as a cat zoomed past her. Another cat walked behind him, more slowly. They looked unhappy.

The young molly stood up on four shaky legs. She meowed meekly, "are you okay?"

penguinpaw
apprentice 7m ♂ - T: FOGPAW + PALEPAW (golden kingdom)
These apprentice's seemed friendly enough. Penguinpaw shook the tension from his pelt. His eyes drifted out of focus for a moment, as if he's seen something behind the two cats. He blinked, and it was gone.

"Hi Fogpaw, hi Palepaw." The young black-and-white cat meowed a gentle greeting. He watched in amusement as Palepaw began rambling excitedly. Golden Kingdom... what a cool name!

"I'm from RyeClan. We live on a farm." He pawed nervously at the dirt. "Thank you, I think I will stick with you two!"

cowpaw
apprentice 10m ♀ - T: BRAMBLINGPAW + AVOCETPAW (seaclan)
Cowpaw leaned foward to sniff the two cats. She flicked an ear in response to Bramblingpaw's greeting.

"You smell like herbs." She said bluntly. "I'm Cowpaw! Do you know what a cow is? We have heaps in RyeClan territory. They're big, but not scary." Cowpaw rambled, not talking any notice if the other two cats were paying attention or not.

briarstar -- leader -- she-cat -- tags: raptorstar(chaosclan)
Briarstar wondered what raptorstar was trying to do, smile? it didn’t look much like one. she smiled back -hoping that it was a smile- and mewed, “snowy, cold. in the spring it’s nice though. how about in..” she couldn’t quite pronounce the word, “chaosclan?”

frosteyes -- deputy -- tom -- tags: stagleap(lightclan)
frosteyes wasn’t surprised. he had never seen the sea, only heard tales. it made sense for some to not have seen snow. “it’s nice.. but also deadly. you need a think coat to survive out there alone.” the deputy paused, “but we aren’t alone.” frosteyes then found himself asking a question about a kit’s game, “have you ever played a snowball fight? instead of mossball, the kits play with small balls of soft snow.”

glimpsebark -- med cat -- she-cat -- tags: owlglare(tidalclan)
glimpsebark nodded in agreement, though wasn’t sure why. glimpsebark started to say something, but then stopped, what should she say? what should she talk about? the young medicine cat’s social skills were pretty lacking. “when did you first want to become a medicine cat?” glimpsebark asked, then cringed afterwards.

lakedusk -- warrior -- she-cat -- tags: jayfur(hazeclan)
lakedusk wasn’t overwhelmed. well, maybe she was! but she didn’t feel like it, she felt excited and happy to be there. after a pause, lakedusk finally had decided to what say in reply to jayfur, “thank you, nice to meet you by the way!” lakedusk smiled again.

jinglenose & scorchcry -- warriors -- tom & she-cat -- tags: open
jinglenose and scorchcry sat in the middle of the large bunch of gathering cats, talking to each other. the young couple had recently become mates, and were now having quarrels more frequently.
