SnowClan !
those attending; briarstar, frosteyes, glimpsebark, snowballpaw, seapaw, wavecall, wispwillow, ellisstorm, palerose

briarstar, she-cat, leader, tags; sirenstar, tidalclan
briarstar watched the other leader come, and walked over to her. “hello.” she paused, “may I sit?” briarstar waited for an answer, blinking at the other she-cat.

frosteyes, tom, deputy, tags; cicadaskip, chaosclan
frosteyes nodded. again, in yet another gathering, someone had commented on snow. “yes. may I ask, why is chaosclan named for chaos?”

glimpsebark, she-cat, medicine cat, tags; amberpool, viridian court
the medicine cat didn’t want to go to the gathering, but was required to as she was the only medicine cat of snowclan, so no one else could go for her. she padded over slowly to her usual place, and here all the medicine cats usually hung out. she tried a smile and then glanced at a cat, saying, “hello.”

snowballpaw, nb, apprentice, tags; aulandrapaw, cascadeclan
“woa!” snowballpaw paused to widen her eyes, “maybe the other warriors came from another clan? I’m not sure I could stand all that hot weather!” snowballpaw smiled again, then thought of something and asked, “do you have any siblings?”

seapaw, she-cat, apprentice, tags; squirrelpaw, fuzzypaw, both ryeclan
“I’ve only just started!” she smiled, “but training is ok. we started on battle and I did horrible! do you guys have a favorite thing that you like to do? trading-wise?”

wavecall, tom, warrior, tags; clovermouse, duckclan
“I’m fine.” wavecall said a little to curtly. “how are you, and you’re clan?” wavecall glanced back at clovermouse, his fluffy brown fur moving as he turned his head.

wispwillow, she-cat, warrior, tags; clementine’s sweet flower, court of the butterflies
“nice to meet you clementineflower.” wispwillow paused, “you have a cool name, by the way. also, what is a clementine?” wispwillow was glancing in the direction that clementineflower’s voice had come from. she had a soft smile on her grey-furred face.

ellisstorm, she-cat, warrior, tags; craneheart, puddleclan
“oh- my sister’s here somewhere. she wandered off into the crowd and I have no clue where she went. she’ll be fine, but I’m still worried..” ellisstorm sighed, “I’m ellisstorm of snowclan, by the way. what’s your name?”

palerose, tom, warrior, tags; garnetgleam, highgarden
the sitting tom glanced up at the newcomer. “sure.” palerose said curtly, “sit down if you want.” the tom flicked his tail to a spot next to him, still looking at garnetgleam. he sighed and then mewed, “I’m palerose of snowclan, nice to meet you.”

HazeClan

Pantherstar | Leader | Molly | Tagged: Open
Open for tagging, but not mateships or flings.

Starlingflight | Deputy | Tom | Tagged: Open
Open for tagging, but not mateships or flings.

Cloudynight | Med. Cat | Tom | Tagged: Wheatcloud (PineClan)
With the clan getting back to normal, Cloudynight was able to start attending the gatherings more with the other higher ups. However this time he had decided to keep Vaporpaw at the camp. With the weather and everything he wanted to make sure the young apprentice was safe. As Cloudynight made his way about a faint scent of a familiar cat caught his attention. Could it be? Was it really her? Franticly looking around Cloudynight froze when his eyes landed on the familiar ginger tabby molly. His heart began to race like the first day he had laid eyes on her. Back when he was a young and extremely shy apprentice. Who knew such a beautiful and strong molly would ever accept his mate-ship offer. However she had and now they where a family. "Wheatcloud..." he breathed, unable to fully grasp the fact that she was right there.

Websnout | Warrior | Molly | Tagged: Topazeheart, but Open
Open, possibly open to mateship (has female pref)

Topazheart | Warrior | Tom | Tagged: Websnout, but Open
Open to tagging, but not mateships or flings

Diamondgaze | Warrior | Tom | Tagged: Pikeleap, Sussurusbounce (SloughClan), and Parsleybound (SloughClan)
The bengal tom smiled as he stepped into the chaos known as the gathering. He enjoyed getting to tag alone as it often gave him plenty of opportunities to find pretty girls. Plus he knew how annoyed it made his brother Topazheart. With Topazheart deciding to stick with their close friend Websnout, Diamondgaze made his way through the cats with Pikeleap at his side after promising Websnout a thousand times he'd keep watch over the somewhat ditzy warrior. It was long until young Pikeleap was leading him off towards two mollies he didn't recognize. However it seemed Pikeleap knew one of the two.

Pikeleap | Warrior | Tom | Tagged: Diamondgaze, Sussurusbounce (SloughClan), and Parsleybound (SloughClan)
Finally, Pikeleap was able to attend another gathering. He was curious if he would find Parsleypaw again. Although he knew it was slim. With Topazheart and Websnout not wishing to go off to search for cats, Pikeleap was able to get Websnout to allow him to leave with Diamondgaze. Of course after Websnout made it clear what she would do to Diamondgaze if anything where to happen to Pikeleap. As Pikeleap lead the way he quickly set eyes on a familiar cat and bounded over with Diamondgaze in tow. "Parsleypaw!" he meowed happily.

Crabstrike| Spy | Tom | Tagged: Open

Turnstonefeather | Spy | Molly | Tagged: Eaglespeak (Court of Butterflies)
With Snailstar and a few others attending the gathering, Turnstonefeather was a bit hesitant to find the handsome tom she spoke to last time. However as long as she stayed out of ear shot and looked to be only having a civil conversation she knew she could get away with it. As she scanned the crowed, Turnstonefeather landed eyes on Eaglespeak. Playing it off like she had never seen him before the calico molly made a comment about how she wanted to go find out what kind of cat he was before dismissing herself from the rest of her clan mates. "Hey..." She meowed sfotly, smiling a bit.

[tigerclaw]

⸙ ▬ PUDDLECLAN
attending ▬ loudstar, minkthroat, craneheart,
hailtalon, hurricanedrift, blizzarchrip, dipperpaw

⸙ ─ loudstar
── leader, nb [they/them], 41m // tags: @ bluebellcrown [viridian court]
“Oh!” The leader sheepishly gave a embarrassed laugh, “I get it now.” Loudstar gave a small shake of their head before responding again. “I haven't been to many gatherings but the two I have been to have been good," Loudstar paused for a heartbeat, "I mostly observed at the last one." The leader fidgeted with their paws, "Have you been to many gatherings?" they asked.

⸙ ─ minkthroat
── medicine cat, f [she/her], 43m // tags: @ open to other high ranks!


Minkthroat padded through the clearing, looking for another cat to chat with.



⸙ ─ craneheart
── warrior, m [he/him], 64m // tags: @ ellissstorm [snowclan]
"Craneheart of Puddleclan," the tom meowed, respectfully dipping his head. "I wish you the best in finding her," he rested his tail tip on the warrior's shoulder for a moment before removing it to curl it around his paws.

⸙ ─ hailtalon
── warrior, m [he/him], 35m // tags: @ open!


Hailtalon excitedly padded into the clearing, eager to make conversation with new cats.



⸙ ─ hurricanedrift
── warrior, f [she/her], 12m // tags: @ open!


Hurricanedrift stalked into the clear, side-by-side with Blizzardchrip. The two mollies walked with each other for a while before Hurricanedrift broke away from her. The warrior trotted into the clearing, her head held high.



⸙ ─ blizzardchrip
── warrior, f [she/her], 12m // tags: @ open!


After splitting off from her sister, the white warrior found a peaceful spot away from the mass of cats and sat down.



⸙ ─ dipperpaw
── apprentice, nb [she/they], 11m // tags: @ cardinalpaw [pineclan]
Dipperpaw perked up, a grin spreading across the apprentice's face. "Hello! I'm Dipperpaw from Puddleclan," they excitedly responded. The pointed cat tilted their head, gazing at Cardinalpaw with curious eyes, "I've never heard of Pineclan before... is it far from here?" they asked. A million questions to ask the tom spun through the young feline's head but instead of blurting them all at once Dipperpaw stuck to one for the moment, scared to overwhelm him with questions.

[salvation.]

the fallen

badgermask|warrior|molly|aldernight (cascadeclan)
badgermask's ears perked at the tom's question, it appeared they were more alike than badgermask thought. "my advice? make it look like an accident. you don't want your clanmates turning on you." she looked out into the gathering of cats. "and if you can't take them on alone, get them to their weakest, they'll just destroy themself." sure it wasn't wise to be sharing these schemes with another cat, but it was rare to meet someone who shared the same ambition, because most of the time those who were willing to take power are usually the ones who deserve it.
wildflame|warrior|molly|open
wildflame looks around eagerly for someone to chat with.
sandrunner|warrior|tom|open
sandrunner takes a seat somewhere further from most of the cats.
koitail|warrior|molly|open
koitail is practically ready to burst as she is eagerly waiting for someone to chat with her.

pinewatch

wolfsnarl|king|tom|cypressstar (keyclan)
ringmaster was a strange title. wolfsnarl thought to himself. "i do hope everything is well in keyclan." wolfsnarl stated, wanting to make some small talk with the other tom.

hawkstorm|hunter|tom|sparrowflutter (highgarden)
hawkstorm's eyes lit up with joy when she mentioned that she was from a kingdom. "highgarden? that's a good name. it really is quite weird that i've somehow managed to meet someone from a kingdom just like me." he was itching to learn more about this kingdom. "what's it like in highgarden?"

laketalon|soldier|molly|open
laketalon is sitting and quietly observing the others at the gathering.
yewclaw|soldier|tom|coypond (moonclan)
yewclaw made a slight smile. "yes, our herbalists travel there to speak with the god's, for advice and such. although it's dangerous to stay there too long, cats go mad in the hollow." he frowned, he shouldn't have mentioned that last part, but it was simply the truth, the beauty of the hollow was certainly a sight to see but if any cat stayed too long they would not be the same.

[LooneyLani]

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾Moonclan☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

cats attending: stoneburr, foxtrot, snowpetal, yewberry, quailjaw, coypond, daisypaw, wrenpaw

Stoneburr - wise one - 91 moons - male - tags; foxtrot, shade cast by falling snow [court of butterflies]
Foxtrot - wise one - 89 moons - male - tags; stoneburr, shade cast by falling snow [court of butterflies]

Foxtrot couldn't help but to grin as the tom accepted the invitation, nudging Stoneburr closer the two elder cats seated themselves side by side, pelts brushing as they settled by their new companion's side. "Your name... where abouts do you come from"? Stoneburr's gruff voice sounded from the quiet between the trio, dark eyes curious to know more of the younger's home.

Snowpetal - healer - 26 moons - female - tags; ceriseberry [keyclan]

Snowpetal's smile became a little more sad at the other's excitement of communing with the deceased, the white pelted healer had been holding off on speaking with their stars for awhile now, the fear of the familiar faces she would see after the horrific battle this past moon; Blossomspeck, her mother, and her sister, to name but a few. Snowpetal seemed to try and shake herself out of it, eyes turning back to the red-furred molly and nodding in slight amusement, "Yes, I myself forget quite a lot of things unfortunately. My mentor had a tough time with me", Snowpetal shared a soft laugh at the memories of her training days, though truthfully in the life of a healer it felt eachday you learned something new.

Yewberry - warrior - 34 moons - male - tags; cobrashade [chaosclan]

The grey tom’s eyes widened at the tom’s news; Chaosclan! That sounded so ... adventurous! Yewberry couldn’t help but to rumble a content purr as he settled beside the Tom, his own tail lifting to curl gently over his white paws. ”We did indeed have quite the trek, we live high up in the mountains. It’s a nice hike down though, so we don’t complain too much! And you, Cobrashade?”

Quailjaw - warrior - 34 moons - male - tags; shoreabranch [cascadeclan]
Quailjaw felt his heart stutter within his chest as the molly leaned closer, chest feeling hot with his burning pelt and he hoped to the stars she wouldn’t feel the thrumming through his pelt. He hummed at the molly’s mention of “the cove” to humour her, grin small as he tipped his head while she spoke of the supposed river dolphin. Quailjaw could feel his eyes widen in surprise at her explanation, finding himself mildly fascinated ... until the mention of the head hole. The tabby pulled back with a laugh, head tipping back with the force of it as his body fell closer to Shoreabranch. Stars, he hadn’t laughed like this in possibly what felt like forever. "You’re ridiculous”, the warrior spoke with fondness as he playfully nudged the other. "Have you heard of the cave birds? We like to call them Shriekers because they tend to shriek before they descend from deep within the caves; I’m sure they could blind you” Quailjaw hummed in thought, before giving a small nod, though the smile stayed on his face as he turned back to Shoreabranch. He found he quite liked teasing the molly as she did him. "There’s also the little spikes. They’re kind of like medium-sized rodents, but they’re covered in these long spikes that contain a small poison. We tend to keep out their way”.

Coypond - hunter - 26 moons - female - tags; yewclaw [pinewatch]
The young hunter mimicked the tom’s frown at the news, her mind going back to the cave of crystals their own healers occupied. She wondered if perhaps it drove them a little mad too. "I do believe any place where the spirits walk could drive any sane cat mad, don’t you? Communing with those who have passed and will never return” Coypond’s voice grew softer as she spoke, not having realised it was quite as sad as she was beginning to understand.

Daisypaw - to be warrior - 12 moons - female - tags; mintpaw [duckclan]

The older to-be couldn't help but to widen her eyes at the clan's name and her new companion's title, a "duckling", she didn't very much resemble a duckling. Oh. Daisypaw could eventually come to the realisation their "duckling" quite possibly meant the same as a "to-be" in Moonclan; a youngster in training. She found she quite liked the name. Again, the molly found herself amused as she watched the younger continue to talk, a small laugh sounding as her gaze softened. Perhaps she quite liked her company too. "Yeah, I was also named for the plant. My mother quite likes them. Unfortunately, I'm not quite as cool as you are, studying to be a healer, I'm a warrior to-be ... ah, a warrior duckling".

Wrenpaw - to be hunter - 12 moons - male - tags; maplesyrup [cocoaclan]

Wrenpaw released a relieved breath as he realised the tom hadn't been injured by his clumsiness, thank goodness for that, what a first impression he had made. The younger's eyes widened slightly as the large tom turned to explain the action of ... winding? another feline. He couldn't help the look of mild confusion passing over his face as he studied the tom, before a small almost embarrassed smile appeared on his soft features. "Ah, I'm almost a full hunter now, I don't quite understand the fighting techniques, I'm sorry". Wrenpaw could feel his pelt begin to warm in his awkwardness as he shifted on still slightly unsteady paws before the warrior.

ooc: Feel free to interact with any of my open cats!
ＳＨＯＲＥＣＬＡＮ
────── ★ SPIRITUAL BEACON ★ ──────
ATTENDENCE: Blizzardhowl, Redflame, Sugarbreeze, Oysterpaw, Forestpaw, Baytuft and Hayblast

Blizzardhowl | 16m | ♀ | Shoreclan Heir | Tags: Open, with deputies
Her first job as the heir of the clan has become leading a group to the gatherings. Her father had avoided them for the past couple of moons due to the harsh rogue attacks. She felt honored, and a bit nervous, to be interacting with the deputies of other clans. Her father told her to go right up to the leader rock, however, she didn't feel as prestige as them. She wandered her way to the deputies, trying to put on her air of confidence. She didn't crack a smile, she kept a shadow of seriousness around her as she passed a few cats. She settled on a spot to relax and sit, eavesdropping on the surrounding conversations.





Redflame | 40m | ♂ | Healer | Tags: Open, with the Medicine Cats
Redflame hadn't came to a gathering with Shoreclan since he joined. He had either been too busy or another healer took his place there. Despite being the third qualified medicine cat of the clan, there was always something to gather of a cat needing attention. It was almost a relaxing escape to come to this gathering, instead of worrying about the next attack on their cats.



Sugarbreeze | 34m | ♀ | Hunter | Tags: Mushroomforest of Viridian Court, Oysterpaw
Sugarbreeze nuzzled her son back, crying softly. She didn't want to let go of her son, but she knew it was what's best for him. She took a deep breath. "I know I'm probably the last cat you want to see, but is it alright if I do come visit sometimes? Forestpaw will probably want to come along as well." She asked, feeling a bit pathetic after keeping the secret from him.

Oysterpaw | 8m | ♂ | Hunter Trainee | Tags: Sugarbreeze, Mushroomforest of Viridian Court
Oysterpaw thought about the idea for a moment longer. For the past couple of days, he hated the idea of leaving his mother and brother. He thought nasty things about Mushroomforest and tried his best to hate them, but he couldn't. However, he still wanted to learn the skills to not only take care of himself, but maybe be the one who takes care of his mother one day. He didn't like being watched over, or sitting around and waiting for his mentor to have time past the many border patrols. It was hard for him to learn it all on his own. "I want to be stronger, like my brother and the hunters in Shoreclan. Yet, I can't do that with what's going on in Shoreclan... Mushroomforest, you don't seem like a bad parent. I want to get to know you better, so I'm happy to move to your clan." He turned towards Sugarbreeze, nuzzling her cheek. "You've done your best to protect me and try to help me, so thank you mom."

Forestpaw | 8m | ♂ | Hunter Trainee | Tags: Pluvierpetal
Forestpaw grinned as he looked up. He spun in a couple circles, trying to spot Pluvierpetal's interesting pelt. He eyed where he saw his mother talking with Mushroomforest, deciding to stay clear in case she called him back over. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a familiar pelt. He creeped over, pouncing on their tail. "Got ya, Pluvier!" He laughed, only to look up and see a very angry elder. He growled, apologizing half heartedly. The trainee turned and started to wander through the clearing, shoving his way past warriors and other apprentices. He almost wanted to give up when he noticed his new friend blending in with other black and white cats. He smiled, finding the tom clever. "I see you there, Pluvierpetal!" He laughed, rushing over to him.



Hayblast | 53m | ♀ | Guardian | Tags: Skullbash of Keyclan
Hayblast smiled at the tom, feeling relaxed and comfortable. "You're not going to bash my skull, right? I mean, a head butt to my gorgeous face will only add more sick looking scars." She beamed. "After all, you don't see me blasting through hay." She added quickly.



Baytuft | 39m | ♂ | Hunter | Tags: Oriolewind, Silver Smoke of Dying Flame
Baytuft shook his head at the silly question. "That's merely a story we tell the young kits- If they don't listen to their mothers, the sun will drown in the ocean and not come back up in the morning." He chuckled lightly, smiling. He listened eagerly as the she-cat explained more of their territory. "I've noticed the Jungle is very similar to a regular forest, but the undergrowth is very very wild. I don't know much about the plants around the jungle, but our healers have to stress on our trainees to not lick or touch various plants. We've had a trainee get rashes on their paws and belly from doing ridiculous things as that."

[Kazin]

ChaosClan

cat name -- age -- gender -- rank -- tagged: open

Songbirdstar -- 82 moons -- she-cat -- leader -- tagged: open
She hadn’t been to a gathering in quite some time, choosing to send Raptorstar in her stead. But the truth was, she was getting old. Her singular life left was enough to tell her that. Songbirdstar sat down in the middle of the leaders, waiting to see who she could strike up a friendship with, maybe even become allies with. StarClan knows ChaosClan might need some allies...

Atlasrain -- 62 moons -- tom -- deputy -- tagged: Moonblossom (SloughClan: bsktcase)
Atlasrain felt his heart skip another beat or two, realizing that the cat did indeed hear him. "Ah, hi Moonblossom. I'm... Atlasrain, one of the deputies of ChaosClan." He felt himself give an awkward silence, shuffling his paws along the dirt. "I tend to avoid the gatherings as much as possible," he admitted with a slight laugh. "I've never been good at... conversation."

Cicadaskip-- 27 moons -- she-cat -- deputy -- tagged: Frosteyes (SnowClan: beebun)
Cicadaskip winced a bit at the question, unsure of if her clan even had a reason for being named as it was. "You know," she started, tilting her head and frowning. "I'm pretty sure the clan was named back when our leader, Raptorstar, was having a hard time finding anywhere to fit in; at least, that's what I've always heard, I was born much longer after the start of the clan. I think he named it because his life was chaos before founding the clan, to be honest, but he's too bristly for me to want to ask." She finished off her statement with a light laugh, shaking her head a bit at the thought of Raptorstar. "Raptorstar is certainly something."

Sunflicker -- 38 moons -- tom -- medicine cat -- tagged: open
Sunflicker was wandering around, waiting for someone to interact with. He didn’t quite feel like settling down to sit just yet, not unless he found someone to talk to.

Kitepaw -- 6 moons -- she-cat -- medicine cat apprentice -- tagged: Silverstar (CascadeClan: bmkmb)
Kitepaw felt her heart soar, glad that she was able to hear about a clan leader's story. She couldn't wait to tell Charpaw about what she learned! "Oh I have had so much fun just in the past couple of moons! Before I became an apprentice Timberleaf would let me come in and watch him sort the herbs, and I really really like the different smells. I never knew all these leaves that seem to look the same could actually be so different and have so many different uses!" The small apprentice found herself nearly bouncing up and down on her paws at the thought of sorting herbs. "Pikapaw, the older medicine cat apprentice, says they hate sorting herbs and is really glad to leave that to me. I love it! It's been so fun and Timberleaf, Sunflicker, Jaggedthunder, and Pikapaw are all so knowledgeable and have taught me so much already!"

Graystone -- 27 moons -- tom -- hunter -- tagged: open
He was never a fan of crowds, and found himself waiting on the outskirts. Graystone laid on the soft grass, grateful that the arrival of Newleaf meant the snow was melting and the grass was warm once again.

Cobrashade -- 21 moons -- tom -- scout -- tagged: Yewberry (MoonClan: LooneyLani)
Cobrashade tilted his head slightly, considering the question. "We certainly didn't really have mountains or valleys to traverse," he said conversationally, thinking back to ChaosClan trek to the gathering. "Really, we just walk down an abandoned Twolegpath for a few days and get here, it's only harsh if there's storms or snow to worry about. Can't complain too much about the journey, I suppose it's better than most."

Juniperglow -- 18 moons -- she-cat -- scout -- tagged: Primrosebriar (Highgarden: eagle)
"I was a loner," Juniperglow affirmed, somewhat of a faraway look coming to her eyes as she thought about her life prior to ChaosClan. "Quite an interesting life, I guess my clanmates say - I ran away from my Twolegplace because it was not the life I wanted, taught myself to hunt, and not long after that ChaosClan cats found me and asked if I wanted to join. I did meet a lot of interesting cats and had quite a few run ins with other Twolegs for a while before that though," she agreed, thinking back to her time as a loner.

Ivypaw -- 6 moons -- she-cat -- apprentice -- tagged: open
Ivypaw stayed with Charpaw for the most part, her wide eyes betraying the fear she felt at being around so many unfamiliar cats. Yet these cats all had their own stories to hear, and she could share hers... Ivypaw trembled slightly, though not fully from fear. She had to admit she was happy to be here, to hopefully make a friend or two... or more.

Charpaw -- 6 moons -- tom -- apprentice -- tagged: open
The young tom glanced sideways at his counterpart, hoping she would gain the confidence to go off on her own. Charpaw was ready to get to know others, and held his head high as he sat down and looked around for someone else to talk to.

_____________________________________________________________________

Nox Invictus

Fluffy -- 25 moons -- she-cat -- leader -- tagged: open
Another moon, another gathering. Things had been going well on the farm, and Fluffy was looking forward to gaining new relationships.

Honeycrisp -- 24 moons -- she-cat -- medicine cat -- tagged: open
The smell of herbs sent Honeycrisp to a group of other cats she presumed to be medicine cats. She didn’t break into any existing conversations, waiting to see who else might arrive.

Viridian -- 22 moons -- she-cat -- warrior -- tagged: open
The newest warrior of Nox Invictus walked around groups of cats, not quite sure if she should sit and wait or not. Better to keep herself busy, she always thought.

Newt -- 16 moons -- non-binary (they/them) -- warrior -- tagged: open
They were nervous of others. Always had been, always would. Newt closed their eyes, feeling the ground beneath their paws as they stood still on the grass, hoping they could will themselves away from here. Why did Fluffy have to make them come?

[DadjokeNess]

Cocoaclan

Pizzastar - Leader - Orange and white molly who is very large and elegant - She/Her
->Birchflame (Highgarden)

Pizzastar's eyes lit up with joy. "You don't know what a pizza is? Well, a pizza is a prey the twoleggers make, so you don't even have to kill it. They take this tasty brown stuff called crust, then they put some red stuff on it, then CHEESE and meat! And cheese is amazing, it's like if you take milk or cream and you turn it from a drink for kittens into a food for adults! You can find it along the thunderpath generally, it smells like meat and medicine den, since the twolegs put some herbs on it for flavor. As long as it doesn't smell too much like thunderpath or deathberry, it's good to eat! It's my favorite thing to eat, so it would be like if another leader was named Mousestar or Harestar!"

Maplesyrup - Warrior - Brown (Genetically black) tabby shorthair with green eyes - He/Him
->Wrenpaw (Moonclan)

Maple felt fondness for the youth. "Well, then congratulations! I'm sure you will do wonderfully, you've got quite a nice pounce going already! Winding someone, or knocking the wind out of them, is just hitting someone hard enough they stop breathing for a second. Like when you fall but don't land on your feet, and you can't breathe for a moment!"
Maplesyrup stood, and demonstrated by pouncing on the root, using both front paws to hit where another cat's lungs would be.
"It helps you stop a fight without injuring the other cat too much, as you can use the opportunity to get away or talk it out." He felt joy in teaching, it's why he liked taking apprentices so much, and why he loved teaching his kids. There was something pure about helping youngsters learn new tricks.

Keylime - Warrior - longhaired polycaudal mackerel blue tabby lykoi with green eyes - he/him
-> Here for Morasspounce (Sloughclan) and Crécerelleflight (Chessclan)

Keylime smiled fondly at the other two. Morass's talking of her apprentice was so cute, and Crécerelle's desire for one was adorable. "Crécerelleflight, you should ask your leader for an apprentice!" he said cheerfully. "You'd do wonderfully, I'm sure of it! If we all have apprentices at the same time, I'm sure that one day they will all be friends!"
He didn't mention the habit he'd seen apprentices have of trying to hook up their mentors. That would be a problem for another time. Plus, he was fairly certain both of the others already liked him, if the nuzzling was any indication.

Tealeaf - Medicine Cat - Brown and white tabby longhair - she/her
->Wolfwhiskers (Chessclan)

Smiling at the tom, Tealeaf felt relief wash over her. He'd seemed so grumpy prior.
"Ah yes. My first apprentice is still taking her assessment, but young Pepperpaw chose our path and I took two on at the same time. Creampaw, back at our clan...she's enthusiastic about healing, if not the best or brightest. But I believe in her!" Tealeaf let a purr saturate her last phrase. She truly loved her apprentices, as much as she could love kits if she ever had them.
"It's truly a pleasure to teach them. Each apprentice brings something delightful and new, if you ever take another, I'm sure you will do splendidly!"

Pepperpaw - Med Apprentice - shorthaired black tortoiseshell mackerel tabby missing her right leg - She / Her - 11 moons
->Penstemonpaw (Pineclan)

Pepperpaw smiled at her new friend, settling into a sit with her one front leg between her other two legs. "Oh lets! I love learning all the medicine stuff! Right now, Tealeaf is teaching me the herbs, I'm really good at knowing their names and how to use them, but I'm still struggling with the smell and where to find them. Cocoaclan is nice, we're smaller, but our den is in a huge place the twoleggers made long ago then left behind, so there's lots of places to go and hide. But then outside is even bigger, and that's where the herbs are. Like coming here took so long, and my momma had to carry me like a kitten because I got tired! But on the way we saw catmint and fennel and ...." Pepperpaw trailed off, realizing she'd gone into oversharing mode. She waited nervously for the other apprentice to talk.

Pillar Clan

Starearth - Leader - a fawn mackerel tabby with green eyes and scars - he/him
->open for other leaders

Starearth, reassured finally that no one from his old clan would be at these gatherings, slid into the crowd with barely concealed unease. He knew it was good to make allies, and young Barkbrush had pleaded for a chance to come back and see the molly they'd fallen for again, but the crowd always felt threatening. Starearth slunk forward until he reached the edge of where the leaders and deputies gathered, and he settled himself in the shade to watch the others and see who wished to talk.

Barkbrush - Warrior - a mediumhair chocolate spotted tabby with low white, a face burn and two scars - They / Them
-> Here for Mourningdove (Viridian Court)

Barkbrush laughed, and ran off towards where a butterfly danced, looking back fondly at Mourningdove to make sure she was following them. They felt exhilarated, she liked them back! They bounded into the field, making sure Mourning was watching before pouncing playfully at a huge monarch butterfly that was dancing through the air, not caring if they missed or not.

Henfeather - Warrior - Tortoiseshell - She/Her
Snowdrop - Queen - a white shorthair with blind amber eyes - She/Her
-> Here on a DATE
-> Coco ( Duckclan)

Henfeather shrugged at the question, but Snowdrop grinned. "Well, sand not so much, except you need a good grooming after! It remembers your shape fairly well, so you can nap without needing to knead the bed a bunch! Mud on the other hand, it's squishy and damp, but I hear it does wonders for the fur! You just have to wash it out well after, but then your fur is very soft!" Snowdrop purred happily at that.
Henfeather leaned into her girlfriend for a second, making a mental note to soak in mud later. "So you and your clanmates sleep outside sometimes? I do love a good bask, though I try to find a rock for basking, the rock holds the heat really well, and the hardness doesn't matter too much when it's so warm!"

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾Moonclan☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

cats attending: stoneburr, foxtrot, snowpetal, yewberry, quailjaw, coypond, daisypaw, wrenpaw

Stoneburr - wise one - 91 moons - male - tags; foxtrot, shade cast by falling snow [court of butterflies]
Foxtrot - wise one - 89 moons - male - tags; stoneburr, shade cast by falling snow [court of butterflies]

Foxtrot couldn't help but to grin as the tom accepted the invitation, nudging Stoneburr closer the two elder cats seated themselves side by side, pelts brushing as they settled by their new companion's side. "Your name... where abouts do you come from"? Stoneburr's gruff voice sounded from the quiet between the trio, dark eyes curious to know more of the younger's home.

Snowpetal - healer - 26 moons - female - tags; ceriseberry [keyclan]

Snowpetal's smile became a little more sad at the other's excitement of communing with the deceased, the white pelted healer had been holding off on speaking with their stars for awhile now, the fear of the familiar faces she would see after the horrific battle this past moon; Blossomspeck, her mother, and her sister, to name but a few. Snowpetal seemed to try and shake herself out of it, eyes turning back to the red-furred molly and nodding in slight amusement, "Yes, I myself forget quite a lot of things unfortunately. My mentor had a tough time with me", Snowpetal shared a soft laugh at the memories of her training days, though truthfully in the life of a healer it felt eachday you learned something new.

Yewberry - warrior - 34 moons - male - tags; cobrashade [chaosclan]
Yewberry could hardly contain his surprise at the news of the younger tom’s journey, it seemed most Moonclan cats found themselves fascinated by these two-legged things. "Hmm, I suppose so. Even then, a trek on the twolegpath sounds like quite the journey itself! We have small paths in the mountains but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the two-legged creatures. Do you see them a lot?

Quailjaw - warrior - 34 moons - male - tags; shoreabranch [cascadeclan]

Quailjaw felt his heart stutter within his chest as the molly leaned closer, chest feeling hot with his burning pelt and he hoped to the stars she wouldn’t feel the thrumming through his pelt. He hummed at the molly’s mention of “the cove” to humour her, grin small as he tipped his head while she spoke of the supposed river dolphin. Quailjaw could feel his eyes widen in surprise at her explanation, finding himself mildly fascinated ... until the mention of the head hole. The tabby pulled back with a laugh, head tipping back with the force of it as his body fell closer to Shoreabranch. Stars, he hadn’t laughed like this in possibly what felt like forever. "You’re ridiculous”, the warrior spoke with fondness as he playfully nudged the other. "Have you heard of the cave birds? We like to call them Shriekers because they tend to shriek before they descend from deep within the caves; I’m sure they could blind you” Quailjaw hummed in thought, before giving a small nod, though the smile stayed on his face as he turned back to Shoreabranch. He found he quite liked teasing the molly as she did him. "There’s also the little spikes. They’re kind of like medium-sized rodents, but they’re covered in these long spikes that contain a small poison. We tend to keep out their way”.

Coypond - hunter - 26 moons - female - tags; yewclaw [pinewatch]

The young hunter mimicked the tom’s frown at the news, her mind going back to the cave of crystals their own healers occupied. She wondered if perhaps it drove them a little mad too. "I do believe any place where the spirits walk could drive any sane cat mad, don’t you? Communing with those who have passed and will never return” Coypond’s voice grew softer as she spoke, not having realised it was quite as sad as she was beginning to understand.

Daisypaw - to be warrior - 12 moons - female - tags; mintpaw [duckclan]

The older to-be couldn't help but to widen her eyes at the clan's name and her new companion's title, a "duckling", she didn't very much resemble a duckling. Oh. Daisypaw could eventually come to the realisation their "duckling" quite possibly meant the same as a "to-be" in Moonclan; a youngster in training. She found she quite liked the name. Again, the molly found herself amused as she watched the younger continue to talk, a small laugh sounding as her gaze softened. Perhaps she quite liked her company too. "Yeah, I was also named for the plant. My mother quite likes them. Unfortunately, I'm not quite as cool as you are, studying to be a healer, I'm a warrior to-be ... ah, a warrior duckling".

Wrenpaw - to be hunter - 12 moons - male - tags; maplesyrup [cocoaclan]
The young tom couldn’t help but to smile brightly at the older’s words of encouragement, after the recent events that befell his home, it was quite hard to keep to the other of a hunter. Wrenpaw listened intently as the warrior explained the act of “winding” another, finding he quite liked the idea as Maplesyrup told him it was a technique that wouldn’t hurt another so viciously as he’d seen what his litter mates were training to do. His golden eyes widened as he watched the warrior demonstrate, looking up at the Tom with surprise and a new fondness. "Um, thankyou! That was really cool! Are you a teacher?? You’re very good at talking to a younger”.

CHESSCLAN !!
ROOKSTAR | Roi | Tom | 52 moons | Tagged: Minkstar (PineClan)


Rookstar let out a quick chuckle, his thoughts drifting back to when he still lived in JaggedClan. “Considering that I was a proud founding member of ChessClan, I can heartily agree. I miss the days when there were only the seven of us,” he meowed gently, remembering the fateful day that the group from JaggedClan had formed a Clan with Aspstar and Horizonstar. Now, those two were gone and Chasmstar and he had taken their place. “ChessClan grew rapidly, many pregnant mothers in the area swarmed to us when they heard of a new Clan. I was only barely an apprentice when the Clan formed though,” he meowed. He couldn’t help but laugh as he remembered Juncoflight’s face when she first met Twilightpounce. “What about you? Were you in the Clan when it was founded?” he asked gently, thinking probably not since she mentioned only being a warrior.


CHASMSTAR | Dame | Molly | 43 moons | Tagged: Morningstar (RyeClan)


“Barn?” Chasmstar asked, the word unfamiliar to her. She had spent nearly all of her life in ChessClan, so she assumed the word was linked to twolegs somehow. Her hatred for the naked creatures with grabby paws filled her body, and she let out a low hiss. They’d stolen Eclaircream from the Clan, and the hatred had grown ever since. She didn’t like creatures that took her clanmates, and she stared at Morningstar with a new disdain. If this molly’s Clan was affiliated with twolegs, then it only showed that newer Clans were as spineless as Chasmstar believed them to be.


RICHTERSCREECH | Tour | Tom | 62 moons | Tagged: Swiftwind (KeyClan)


Richterscreech let out a quiet cry of embarrassment before regaining his composure and turning to look at Swiftwind. “Do cats ever think they can get away with stuff just because you can’t see them? I know my Clan takes every opportunity to get into trouble,” he groaned, hoping Freuxfreckle had his paws full with the young Pions and Apprenti. He couldn’t even remember all the times he’d had to scold new Cavalier for sticking their noses where they didn’t belong. And don’t even get him started about fighting! Every single cat could find something to start a squabble about, and Richterscreech was just about tired of it. He couldn’t wait for Freuxfreckle to take his position as Tour soon.


WOLFWHISKERS | Fou | Tom | 67 moons | Tagged: Tealeaf (CocoaClan)

Wolfwhiskers looked at Tealeaf in alarm. "Two at once? How have you not pulled your pelt out? I could barely handle Faonpaw at the worst moments," he sighed, feeling deflated at the thought of instructing two young cats at once. He shook his pelt out, memories of when Faonpaw had snapped at him or stormed out of his den. Of course, he had deserved it a few times. The one instance in which he told her littermate and best friend to leave her alone so she could focus on her studies had been a particularly bad moment, but Faonpaw had eventually forgiven him as she knew his heart was in the right place. "I do not want to take on another apprentice so soon after Faonpaw receiving her full name, but I fear the both of us will each take on one. We will work together, but my Clan is sorely in need of another Clanborn healer. There's something about being raised in the Clan that makes these cats so in tune with their Clanmates from the start, and that's what we need at the moment. Some of our younger warriors won't stop taking risks, and they need familiar but stern voices in their ears," he sighed, quickly thinking about the current set of cats sleeping in his den for injuries.

CRÉCERELLEFLIGHT | Cavalier | Tom | 54 moons | Tagged: Morasspounce (SloughClan), Keylime (CocoaClan)

Crécerelleflight beamed at Keylime's suggestion, and he tucked the thought into the back of his mind. "I may just ask Rookstar for one out of the next litter of kits to become apprentices," he meowed. As Morasspounce nuzzled him and Keylime, he returned the favor to her and tentatively reached towards the other tom. He didn't want to overstep any boundaries, and he wasn't quite sure how the tom felt about him, but he had the slightest thought that he wouldn't be denied. "Are things going well in your Clans? Leafbare is just barely past, and I know those can be harsh times for Clans," he meowed, a string of worry attached to his voice. Leafbare had been uncharacteristically nice to ChessClan, but he had heard a few horror stories in passing at the Gathering already.

OISEAUDAPPLE | Cavalier | Tom | 16 moons | Tagged: Quakestone (Highgarden)


Oiseaudapple stuck out his tongue in a taunt. “It’s Oiseaudapple now,” he meowed proudly, puffing his chest out. He grinned as he checked out Quakestone, glad to see she seemed unharmed and happy. “ChessClan always comes to Gatherings, though I don’t like going to two in a row. My paws hurt for a moon after these things,” he sighed dramatically. True, his paws had been sore for many sunrises after his last Gathering, but he’d only been a young apprenti. His mentor had even let him have two sunrises off to recuperate. Thoughts of Violindapple drug the corners of his mouth down, but he forced them back up into a vibrant smile.


PLUVIERPETAL | Cavalier | Tom | 16 moons | Tagged: Forestpaw (ShoreClan)

Pluvierpetal snickered as Forestpaw pounced excitedly on the elder, hiding his face behind his paw as he stifled the laughter. As he was hiding his face, he felt Forestpaw reach him and meow a victory. "I got you good with that," he grinned, eyes narrowing as he looked into the crowd. "Why don't you take a turn at hiding? I'm sure you can wiggle your way into all the best spots," he meowed, remembering the many tight places he had fit in his youth. The days when his father would find him hiding squeezed between the fallen tree and the side of the medicine den were some of the best of his life, and a wistful smile crossed his muzzle. He snapped out of his thoughts and turned expectantly to Forestpaw to await an answer.
