[recognize]

duckclan - attending: duckstar, marchsnow, clovermouse, mintpaw, rookflight, foxangel, coco, puddlepaw

duckstar - female - 50m - the yellow guide - mate: littleink - tags: with puddlepaw, ignitionpaw (cascadeclan)
puddlepaw looked up at duckstar, whispering, "what's a mango?" "a fruit," she told him. his eyes lit up. she licked the top of his head affectionately, teasing, "you do like to eat, puddlepaw."

puddlepaw - male (afab) - 11m - apprentice - open for relationships, pan - tags: with duckstar, ignitionpaw (cascadeclan)
puddlepaw nodded. "i'll eat just about anything... i've tried eating grass before, i don't like it that much." he thought about it some more. what fruits were there in duckclan?" "i've bitten a piece out of an apple once. there's an entire orchard of apple trees. i visited once with marchsnow and some of the other apprentices, we almost bumped into a handful of twoleg children."

marchsnow - male - 52m - deputy - mate: asterblizzard - tags: open

clovermouse - enby (amab) - 28m - med cat - open for relationships, pan, has 3 kits - tags: wavecall (snowclan)
"i'm alright," clovermouse said. "the clan is too, even if they're angry at me at the moment." he thought about it for a moment, muttering, "i'm sure it'll clear up soon though." he looked at the warrior, trying to figure him out and also what to say next. "what's your favorite color?"

mintpaw - female - 8m - med cat app. - open for relationships, lesbian - tags: daisypaw (moonclan)
"being a warrior is definitely cool though!" mintpaw exclaimed, slightly embarrassed and flattered at the same time. cool! marigoldpaw was the cool one, or maybe moonpaw or chillpaw. among her siblings, she had always been the comedic relief, along with minnowpaw. "hunting and fighting and fishing and jumping!"

rookflight - female - 31m - warrior - tags: firetail (cloverclan)

someone blocked her line of vision, and for a moment she thought they would go away but they decided to sit there. she eventually decided to approach them, having nothing else to do. "hello," she called, giving a friendly wave of her tail. "mind if i join you?"

foxangel - female - 59m - warrior - tags: open

foxangel nervously peered into the gathering area, not sure what she was meant to do. she had been excited to return to her warrior duties but quickly found that she had forgotten a lot, and it had been ages since she had gone to a gathering. did duckstar want her to do anything in particular? she remembered that silentstar would always ask something of them to do at the gatherings.

coco - female - 27m - warrior - tags: henfeather & snowdrop (pillarclan)
"oh! is that so?" she wondered if she should try rolling around in mud sometime. she remembered there was an apprentice that really like mud for some reason, or maybe she was a warrior now. what was her name again? "the sun's great, but i also like the shade! we don't have a lot of trees, but the area around the pond is nice and cool.""

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 wide, nodding. "Of course! You'll never find me." He gloated, dashing away from the other tom. He peered around at many cats, deciding not to go with Pluvierpetal's same plan of hiding around other cats. He spotted a fallen hollow log at the edge of the clearing, deciding to go with that. It was a very narrow opening, but he managed to cram himself inside. He waited quietly, keeping his breathing lowered.



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 thought for a moment about some questions to ask, but one stuck out to him the most. "Well, do you guys go swimming at all? I know a lot of clans don't, but living in Shoreclan you have to be pretty skilled to swim in the ocean." He explained, smiling. He thought it was ridiculous to not learn to swim. After all, water can be dangerous if not.

Rocketpaw-seedling-female-tags: snailpaw (Scarabclan)
Rocket wandered around, she could see her two sisters and had sat in the medicine den for some time before. So the pearly white seedling smelled her herbs. ‘Your a healer’ she told herself ‘just make everyone think that’ that’s when she saw a some white fur. Ember was looking for a cat to be friends with but had no luck seeing a cat her age when rocketpaw had come running over to her. “Get frost” she mewed with an excited look on her face. So ember went to get frost. “What” frost said “rocket failed to convince someone she’s a healer. “No” ember mewed “just come”. So the three of them went up to their brother. “Snail!” Ember mewed tuning up to him at full speed, and the other two followed.

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 smiled softly, or at least attempted to. “oh ok.” he didn’t know what to say next, and just kept quiet.

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 can understand that.” Wavecall mewed. “My favorite color.. it’s blue.” Wavecall paused, blue made him think of his daughter. “Do you have any kits?”

wispwillow, she-cat, warrior, tags; clementine’s sweet flower, court of the butterflies
“are you a medicine cat?” wispwillow couldn’t help asking, seeing as clementineflower seemed to be interested in herbs.

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.”

[NightWolf950]

HazeClan

Pantherstar | Leader | Molly | Tagged: Starearth (PillarClan)
With her clan mates slowly going off on their own to explore, Pantherstar made her way to where the leaders often gathered. Many cats besides the leaders often hung about, talking freely to leaders. The large gray she-cat always did enjoy how friendly most others where, often giving her a reassuring feeling that she didn't have much to worry about outside clans. A fawn tabby tom with many scars caught her attention and thus the she-cat padded over. Dipping her head respectfully Pantherstar spoke. "Mind if I sit beside you? I'm Pantherstat of HazeClan." she meowed, awaiting the tom's response before just sitting down.

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.

IvyClan

Snailstar | Leader | Molly | Tagged: Open
Available for tagging, no mateships or flings though.

Barkbur | Deputy | Tom| Tagged: Open
Available for tagging, no mateships or flings though.

Mysticnight| Assassin | Molly | Tagged: Open
Available for tagging, no mateships or flings though. However down for friendly flirtatiousness.

Crabstrike| Spy | Tom | Tagged: Graystone (ChaosClan)
Seeing his clan mates begin to spread out Crabstrike decided to go off on his own as well. If he was lucky, maybe he would run into his brother Banepaw. Inform him of what had been going on. With the lose of their brother and sister, Crabstrike knew that his brother needed to know. Until he found him, Crabstrike decided to wait closer towards the outskirts of the gathering incase he had yet to arrive. As the tom padded onward he almost tripped over another tom. "I'm so sorry!" he meowed quickly.

Turnstonefeather | Spy | Molly | Tagged: Eaglespeak (Court of Butterflies)
Glancing over her shoulder nervously, the calico molly let out a small sigh of relief upon noticing her clan mates didn't care that she had wondered away. Returning her attention back to the tom Turnstonefeather smiled at him. "It's good to see you again. It was a rough leaf-bare... a few deaths sadly... However Snailstar doesn't give much time for grieving. A strong clan like us have to be able to keep moving onward. Thus hear we are. How about the Court?" she asked curiously.

(APOLOGIES FOR THE REPOST, it refreshed and showed it had posted twice and I tried to delete the double and it deleted both)


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)

Grinning, he nodded. "Aye, I've had an apprentice, and I plan on taking another soon, plus I've taught my own kits and sister a number of tricks."
Maplesyrup looked at the youngster and gave an encouraging grin. "What's your mentor like?"

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

Keylime felt shock at the other tom's affection, but then relaxed entirely, giving in and nuzzling the other two back before licking the tops of their heads fondly. "Well, we had a hungry leafbare, and we're still working on building up our prey stores again, but I'm sure it will be fine. While the warriors who join mean more hungry mouths, they also mean more available hunters, and our young ones are almost warriors themselves, and are able to tag along on hunts and help. Plus, our prey isn't too difficult to catch, some of it the twoleggers just throw out!" He didn't mention that they were eating literal trashed hamburgers and pizza, because that would involve an awkward explanation of what a hamburger was. And he was saving that for next time so he could bring a hamburger to share with these two.

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

Tealeaf shrugged. "Honestly, I wasn't ready for two at once, but I already had Creampaw as an apprentice, and she was doing so badly at learning that I thought I was failing as a teacher. But Pepper saw that, and she still wanted to learn from me. She spent the past four moons in the medicine den healing before she decided on this path, though I feel she would have chosen it either way. Since I'm the only healer in our clan currently, I had no choice but to accept, or leave Pepperpaw unhappy in life, and I couldn't do something so cruel to her. Perhaps you will find in the clan's kits those who are already called to our side, with gentle souls." Tealeaf looked down at her paws, and almost whispered the last bit, "Those whose paws are made for healing others, and not for harming others."

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
->Pantherstar (HazeClan)

Starearth nodded to the molly. "Of course you may sit! I'm Starearth, of Pillar Clan. This gathering seems busier than the last few I've been to, but I don't come often so I'm not a good judge." He chuckled to himself and smiled. "How are you today?"
As he waited for her to sit and respond, Starearth took in the molly's appearance, taller than him by a bit, with soft grey fur, more like a storm cloud than a panther.

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)

The two mollies both smiled cheerfully at that. "I bet it is!" Snowdrop beamed. "What else do you like about your clan? For us, I love the way I always feel safe, and while I can't see the trees, I know they're there, always dry and protective. It lets me relax, knowing the trees and my fellow clan members will always protect me, letting me spend my free time with kits."
When Snowdrop had mentioned the other cats protecting her, Henfeather sat up straighter, puffing her chest out with pride. She WAS a good protector, she knew it!

[chaotic creativity]

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 listened to Tealeaf, mind captured by her story. "I couldn't imagine passing up such great talents or heart, but no young ones have shown an interest in my work. I only hope Faonpaw brings the light to my den as equally as I bring the darkness," he meowed softly, his ears then picking up Tealeaf's final, mysterious sentence. It seemed both healers had troubled pasts that they wanted to bury with bright, bubbly young cats, so Wolfwhiskers felt it unnecessary to press further. "So many talented young cats have shown the heart and potential, but they turn their noses up in disgust when I inquire about them becoming my apprentice. It's such a shame, but I know most cats can't handle what we do," he chuckled gently.

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

Crécerelleflight made a face as Keylime spoke of twoleg trash, and he stuck his tongue out. "I could never! Associating with twolegs brings shame on the members of my Clan in their eyes, but not mine" he meowed, rolling his eyes dramatically. Several of his Clanmates had an intense hatred of the creatures, though they respected cats with backgrounds involving them. Once you were in ChessClan, twolegs were a thing of the past. It had become especially known to avoid them when one had trapped and taken Eclaircream during a stroll. The fact was well known that several former kittypets had had to escape from their twolegs, the need for the wild far outweighing the soft life. "Not to mention the fact that twolegs only appear on rare occassions. There's not a twolegplace for many many days of travel in any direction," he shrugged, hop

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 began counting slowly, his voice a breathy chant that was barely audible. He reached a satisfactory number, and his eyes popped open. He peered and scanned through the crowd, doubting that Forestpaw would pull the same trick he would, so he turned towards the edge of the clearing. He stepped on several paws and tails, warranting grunts and shouts of distress, but he shouldered his way through until he made it out. "Maybe the trees..." he mumbled to himself, and he began searching the limbs. Growing antsy, he began to stroll until he stumbled into a fallen log. "He wouldn't..." he whispered, and he poked his muzzle into the opening. "Found you!" he cried, eyes lighting up. He bounced in a circle, chanting his victory, as he waited for Forestpaw to squeeze out of his hiding place.

MÉSANGEDAPPLE | Cavalier | Molly | 31 moons | Tagged: Pewee (TidalClan)

Mésangedapple had been clinging to the outskirts of the Gathering, not daring to yet dip her toes into the group of cats. Her whiskers twitched slowly, but she padded into the group after gathering the courage to do so. “Excuse me, my name’s Mésangedapple,” she introduced herself quietly to the tom, flattening her ears as her obvious shy nature became more and more visible. She was terrified that the tom would ignore her, but she wasn’t quite sure why she was here in the first place. She had barely been in ChessClan for two moons, but she was already being dragged to Gatherings. It confused her, but she shook the thoughts away.

PAPILLONSHIMMER | Cavalier | Molly | 29 moons | Tagged: Websnout (HazeClan)

Papillonshimmer kept an eye on Mésangedapple as the molly approached a tom, and the breath she had been holding in let out slowly. Her sister had not come to this Gathering, and Papillonshimmer expected she was with Antflare. It was not fair, really, that Apisbumble had settled so quickly while Papillonshimmer was still even debating on if she liked toms or mollies. She did, however, hold no ill will towards her favorite sister. As she dove into the crowd, she spotted a cat that she approached. “Hello, I’m Papillonshimmer!”

[NightWolf950]

HazeClan

Pantherstar | Leader | Molly | Tagged: Starearth (PillarClan)
Settling herself next to the tom, Pantherstar took note of his name. It was interesting to do it backwards compared to other clans. "I'm alright. How are you doing? I know leaf-bare can be rough for us clans." She meowed.

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: Papillonshimmer (ChessClan)
With Pikeleap and Diamondgaze occupied, Websnout was left with Topazheart. Until the other bengal tom decided to dismiss himself to wonder the crowd. The silver bengal let out a small sigh as she looked up at the starry sky above. It wasn't until a voice snapped her back to reality. Before her stood a young looking molly, clearly warrior aged or so Websnout assumed. "Hello... I'm Websnout." she meowed, dipping her head slightly.

Topazheart | Warrior | Tom | Tagged: Open

Diamondgaze | Warrior | Tom | Tagged: Pikeleap, Sussurusbounce (SloughClan), and Parsleybound (SloughClan)

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: Graystone (ChaosClan)
Seeing his clan mates begin to spread out Crabstrike decided to go off on his own as well. If he was lucky, maybe he would run into his brother Banepaw. Inform him of what had been going on. With the lose of their brother and sister, Crabstrike knew that his brother needed to know. Until he found him, Crabstrike decided to wait closer towards the outskirts of the gathering incase he had yet to arrive. As the tom padded onward he almost tripped over another tom. "I'm so sorry!" he meowed quickly.

Turnstonefeather | Spy | Molly | Tagged: Eaglespeak (Court of Butterflies)
Feeling more comfortable knowing her clan mates where not around, Turnstonefeather took a seat and wrapped her tail around her paws. She listened to Eaglspeak speak, nodding a bit here and there to show she was still listening. "Kits are always nice... Life line of the clan after all. We had some kits born not to long ago and one of those mysterious cats from the gathering showed and up and gave Ducksplash two kits. Their clearly his. I wouldn't mind having some of my own at some point." The calico molly admitted.

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 listened to Tealeaf, mind captured by her story. "I couldn't imagine passing up such great talents or heart, but no young ones have shown an interest in my work. I only hope Faonpaw brings the light to my den as equally as I bring the darkness," he meowed softly, his ears then picking up Tealeaf's final, mysterious sentence. It seemed both healers had troubled pasts that they wanted to bury with bright, bubbly young cats, so Wolfwhiskers felt it unnecessary to press further. "So many talented young cats have shown the heart and potential, but they turn their noses up in disgust when I inquire about them becoming my apprentice. It's such a shame, but I know most cats can't handle what we do," he chuckled gently.


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


Crécerelleflight made a face as Keylime spoke of twoleg trash, and he stuck his tongue out. "I could never! Associating with twolegs brings shame on the members of my Clan in their eyes, but not mine" he meowed, rolling his eyes dramatically. Several of his Clanmates had an intense hatred of the creatures, though they respected cats with backgrounds involving them. Once you were in ChessClan, twolegs were a thing of the past. It had become especially known to avoid them when one had trapped and taken Eclaircream during a stroll. The fact was well known that several former kittypets had had to escape from their twolegs, the need for the wild far outweighing the soft life. "Not to mention the fact that twolegs only appear on rare occassions. There's not a twolegplace for many many days of travel in any direction," he shrugged, hop


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 began counting slowly, his voice a breathy chant that was barely audible. He reached a satisfactory number, and his eyes popped open. He peered and scanned through the crowd, doubting that Forestpaw would pull the same trick he would, so he turned towards the edge of the clearing. He stepped on several paws and tails, warranting grunts and shouts of distress, but he shouldered his way through until he made it out. "Maybe the trees..." he mumbled to himself, and he began searching the limbs. Growing antsy, he began to stroll until he stumbled into a fallen log. "He wouldn't..." he whispered, and he poked his muzzle into the opening. "Found you!" he cried, eyes lighting up. He bounced in a circle, chanting his victory, as he waited for Forestpaw to squeeze out of his hiding place.


MÉSANGEDAPPLE | Cavalier | Molly | 31 moons | Tagged: Pewee (TidalClan)

Mésangedapple chuckled at the name the tom offered, thinking it was rather cute and fitting. “Well, it’s chickadee in another language,” she meowed, her voice still slightly quivering. Her nerves were beginning to fade away, but she couldn’t quite get over her jitters. Adventures that left her breathless never did this to her, but speaking to strangers tore her world apart. This tom seemed understanding and nice, not likely to get annoyed if she was too quiet or her voice shook too much. “My Clan typically has prefixes in another language, but they’re beginning to slowly peel away from that tradition. I thought Mésange- was prettier than Chickadee-, though,” she chuckled.

PAPILLONSHIMMER | Cavalier | Molly | 29 moons | Tagged: Websnout (HazeClan)

Papillonshimmer smiled, thinking the name over and committing it to memory. “Websnout is a rather nice name,” she meowed politely, looking over the silver bengal’s beautiful pelt. There had been several cats in ChessClan with rosettes, but none with the light silver base color like hers. “Your pelt is rather pretty, if you don’t mind me saying so. I always enjoy seeing colors we do not have in my Clan,” she remarked, remembering how frightened yet intrigued she’d been by Taureauwhisper’s green fur.

PINECLAN
cats attending [high ranks]: minkstar, ratnose, cloudtongue, penstemonpaw
cats attending [other] [3/10]: wheatcloud, duckfoot, cardinalpaw

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[ minkstar | leader | 90m | she/her | tags: rookstar (chessclan) ]
A nostalgic look crossed Minkstar's face as she recalled her earliest days in PineClan, found as a wandering loner by Rowanpelt, he extended her an offer to join the Clan and she quickly agreed. The two became quick friends afterward, and many seasons later, it was through Rowanpelt that she eventually became deputy in his place after his unfortunate death at the paws of a badger. Shaking her head, she replied that - "PineClan was still very young when I joined; No queens or kits, just a small set of warriors and some older apprentices then. I was just a young loner who happened to get lucky." - Minkstar finished proudly. "It's funny, I can't imagine being anywhere else - I have a mate and three daughters here, and my eldest is close to delivering her first litter." At the mention of her kits, Minkstar realized now was a good time to speak to Rookstar about someone. "I... have someone to thank from your Clan for my second litter; Oakpelt and Birchface. Their surrogate was a ChessClan tom named Coatiheart, I heard in passing that he passed away several moons ago. I'm sorry for the loss."

(me, posts later, dummy stupid: wait god minkstar DOES know of chessclan her surrogate was IN there)

[ ratnose | deputy | 63m | he/him | tags: astylumpaw (cascadeclan) ]
With the moon rising higher in the sky Ratnose concluded the gathering was well on its way to reaching its climax, so he saw no harm in further accompanying Astylumpaw until it ended - and it didn't seem like he was fond of finding his mentor or mother either. He knew he'd have quite the conversation with Julius when he returned home, already imagining his mate unable to hide an amused smirk when he learned that Ratnose's companion was a young apprentice. "I don't mind," He mewed, giving Astylumpaw a reaffirming nod. "and at least you're not completely out of your depth here! Having some familiar faces, even when you can't see them, is a small comfort." As he trailed off and racked his head for something to talk about before all the leaders summoned everyone's attention, he eventually decided on something that would hopefully take the tom's mind off of his predicament. "How's training going so far? I have a son about to start his own apprenticeship, and I know he's eager to get started already."

[ cloudtongue | medicine cat | 22m | he/him | tags: solsticestand (highgarden) ]
Cloudtongue politely elected to be quiet as Solsticestand spoke, sympathizing with her statements about her mentor and littermate by comparing them to his own. While Poppynose was a great medicine cat he more often than not kept his emotions to himself, so even Cloudtongue had trouble reading his old mentor on most days. And he and Grosbeakcloud were on good terms, but often didn't find time to speak to each other nowadays. "I think I understand, I mean, there's a bit more of a difference from my side of things, but I get it. At any rate, at least you're not here alone. I feel like I might trip on own paws without any of my seniors here." He rambled. "And I'm from PineClan, I feel like I should've started off with that." He added, chuckling. "How is Highgarden? I don't know much about it, aside from hearing its name once or twice."

[ penstemonpaw | med app | 10m | she/her | tags: pepperpaw (cocoaclan) ]
Sensing her enthusiasm through her rambling, Penstemonpaw gladly let Pepperpaw talk about her experiences while she took her time getting a little more comfortable, briefly kneading the ground with her teeny, thorn-sharp claws before settling into a sit across from her. The smile never left her face as Pepperpaw spoke, but her head tipped to the side curiously as she trailed off until she realized that the apprentice was waiting for her to go next. Straightening up at full attention, Penstemon stammered an apology before talking. "I'm kinda the opposite! I can recognize tons of our herbs scents because I used to visit my brother a lot when he was training as a medicine apprentice, but I can't put names to smells yet." She explained, resisting the urge to hide her face in her chest fur in embarrassment. "I'm lucky my mentor Cloudtongue is so patient. But hen again, we're both new to our jobs. What's your mentor like?" She asked, finding herself leaning a little too close to Pepperpaw before snapping away when she was aware of it.

[ wheatcloud | warrior | 39m | she/her | tags: cloudynight (hazeclan) ]
Wheatcloud felt her heart flutter in her chest as she saw a glimpse of Cloudynight out of the corner of her eye, turning to face the HazeClan medicine cat with a wide smile on her face as she took the sight of him in. She savored the moment before the excitement got the best of her and she rushed right over to her mate, unable to stop herself from nuzzling into his thick neck fur before pulling away. "Cloudynight..." She mewed. "I missed you so much!" She exclaimed, voice heavy with emotion.

[ duckfoot | 110m | he/him | tags: sun's guiding light (court of the butterflies) ]
It was quite humbling to meet someone who didn't know of PineClan at this stage in their lives, Duckfoot noted. His Clan prided themselves on their secrecy from other clowders, though their large numbers often made him feel exposed in the eyes of everyone else. "Oh, stars, I lose track." He began, licking one of his front paws before drawing it behind his ear, a thoughtful look on his face. "If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say... seven? Eight seasons?" Duckfoot meowed. "How are you feeling about leading a Clan? My mate Mintsun used to be our leader before she retired and passed on the role to Minkstar. I understand the rank can be heavy on one's shoulders - especially a younger cat like yourself."

[ cardinalpaw | 12ms | he/him | tags: dipperpaw (puddleclan) ]
Happy to catch the apprentice's attention, Cardinalpaw smiled, though the expression turned more thoughtful as he pondered the other's question. "It's a good distance from the gathering hollow, so much so that we don't attend gatherings often, so I'd say we're pretty far." He estimated. "What about PuddleClan? Is it far from here too, and what's it like? ...Wet, I'm assuming." Cardinalpaw then asked, his mew turned cheeky as he added on the last statement.
