cockroachstar - tom - 66m - marquess/leader - tags; open

cockroachstar yawned as he entered the gathering, hollystar and the rest of the attendees of his clan behind him. the days grew shorter as leafbare dawned on them, but he was grateful they had a season to prepare before the harshness of the cold. hollystar seemed at peace, her fur flat and a small smile across her face. she noticed him looking at her and hollystar nuzzled him, causing cockroachstar to redden. they had been mates for moons but their love had never wavered. "stay safe, cockroachstar!" she purred and bumped her forehead against his affectionately then walked away.

hollystar - she-cat - 61m - marchioness/leader - tags; open

hollystar walked away from her mate and looked around, her eyes searching the crowd for a familiar pelt or anyone that looked interesting to her. she laid down and drew her paw over her ears, making sure she looked clean and formal for the gathering. the rosetted torbie, stood back up and walked towards where the leaders of the clans usually gathered.

tsunamibite - tom - 76m - earl/deputy - tags; open

tsunamibite wished his mate or only surviving kit were here to keep him company, but the both of them were asleep when the attendees had left to go to the gathering. he looked around and saw crowds of cats everywhere, and he slowly padded towards the center of the area.

morninglight - she-cat - 52m - healer/medicine cat - tags; puffin (glasinmore)

morninglight's soft paw steps crumpled the grass as swanpaw and her entered the gathering. "will you be alright on your own?" she asked her apprentice. swanpaw looked up and smiled, "I should be, thanks though morninglight!" the gray and white cat began to leave, but she stopped swanpaw for a moment, "what are your pronouns, by the way? just checking!" she gave a comforting smile. "oh, it and it's!" swanpaw smiled, "thanks for asking!" it nodded towards her and began to walked away. morninglight smiled and looked to see if any cats caught her interest.

swanpaw- genderfluid - 14m - healer weakling/medicine cat apprentice - tags; dianthuspaw(vagaryclan)

swanpaw padded over to where the apprentices usually sat- it had been to enough gathering to know where different ranks sat. it didnt see any familiar faces which disappointed it a bit, but swanpaw figured it could just make new friends- even if it caused it a bit of anxiety. it looked up as a new voice wandered towards it and a cat padded up with a greeting, "oh, hey there! im not busy at all. im swanpaw of tundraclan, and im training to be a healer!" it smiled at the new cat.

terrabite - tom - 34m - knight/warrior - tags; oceanhiss (mintclan)

terrabite dipped his head affectionately as he rubbed his jaw against hers, "im glad seashellkit is doted on by the elders or else they'd have a fit- she constantly asks them questions and for stories." he let out a laugh and purred. "tundraclan has been blessed by the good weather! there is enough prey to feed us all and even some leftover! seashellkit has a lot of friends her age, so its adorable to watch them all play and tussle around!" he chuckled, and looked back at oceanhiss with affection in his eyes, "how about you? has everything been okay?" he asked, curling his tail around her.

murkwater - tom - 28m - knight/warrior - tags; flintpaw (yangclan)

murkwater brushed up againt flintpaw, returning the tom's nuzzling, "ive missed you so much, flintpaw! i thought id never see you again. how are you? do you know where any other fireclan members are?" his questions tumbled over each other in an excitement to finally be able to see the cat who he longed to see for months after the disbanding of fireclan, and murkwater's tail curled around flintpaw. he was still in disbelief of seeing flintpaw, but regardless, felt his heart beat faster.

dunestep - tom - 30m - knight/warrior - tags; chlorinespray (yangclan)

dunestep gave a small smile as chlorinespray introduced himself, "thats a really pretty name!" he purred, then continued, "good to meet you as well. im dunestep of tundraclan!" he paused and thought for a moment, "yangclan? doesn't sound familiar... i think i have heard of them but its nice to meet a warrior of yangclan! whats it like?" he asked, his tail curling over his paws and he shook out his fur, trying to keep warm in the cold leaffall chill.

ghostlight - tom - 25m - knight/warrior - tags; sunberry (glasinmore)

ghostlight's large and fluffy body protected him from the slight chill of the new leafbare weather. he was looking around for a specific cat who wouldn't be hard to spot. he craned his neck over the crowd and brightened once he saw the cat he was looking for. he dashed towards her and stopped in front of her, "hi, sunberry! how are you?" he noticed a long-furred black and white cat behind her, but took no notice of the cat.

cedarshade - she-cat - 30m - knight/warrior - tags; specklesand (ivyclan)

cedarshade laughed, "yeah, haha! im a knight of tundraclan now. its a good clan. well, the living cats are nice but some of the spirits are... er, vengeful." she paused and looked as if she was remembering something, but shook her head, dispersing the thoughts, "how are you specklepaw? i assume youve gained your name now. im cedarshade now!" she smiled and gave a soft purr, hoping that her sister had actually gained her name and she didnt accidentally embarass her sister.

beetlepaw - she-cat - 11m - weakling/apprentice - tags; falconpaw (chaosclan)

beetlepaw coughed as she accidentally swallowed a fly that had been bothering her. she shook her head and sighed- this was an unfamiliar environment and she scanned the grounds for any sign of danger. she looked warily around before her eyes fell upon another cat who looked her age, "hey there. im beetlepaw of uh, tundraclan!" she smiled, but her eyes were darting around as if she were looking for any sign of danger.

♪ Rustfoot
tom ; deputy ; tags: stormstar
Rustfoot brought up the rear of the VagaryClan party, and made sure to check that each of his Clanmates were settled in before going to find a spot of his own. He wandered absentmindedly for a few moments before selecting a group of cats to sit near, not realizing that it was the leaders' circle.

✥ Snowynight and Ebonysmoke
mollies ; warriors ; tags: goosewing
Ebonysmoke trotted happily into the clearing with her mother, Snowynight, on her tail. She was determined to see her father tonight after so many moons, and finally tell him about her brand new warrior name. She could feel Snowynight's amusement at her confidence, but she didn't care- she was here on a mission.

❋ Flintfur and Reedbloom
tom and molly ; warriors ; tags: ironrumble
Reedbloom glanced back at her father, who had hesitated a moment before setting foot into the Gathering. She bit back a sigh of disappointment. Flintfur had become much more cautious and anxious after the battle and Springbird's death, but she'd hoped he'd regained some confidence by now. Once he caught up, she pressed against his side encouragingly, and he smiled back, letting her lead him to an open area where they could sit and observe the crowd.

❀ Dianthuspaw
tom ; medicine cat apprentice ; tags: swanpaw
Dianthuspaw's head tilted on instinct, showing he was interested in what Swanpaw had to say. "Oh, a healer? Me too- I'm a medicine cat apprentice." He sat down next to Swanpaw, and self-consciously gave his chest fur a quick lap before looking back up. "And I'm Dianthuspaw. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." He used a line he'd heard his mentors say before, hoping to make an impression.

❦ Pipertrill
molly ; warrior ; tags: dawnshade
Pipertrill couldn't believe her luck- her first Gathering as a warrior, and right after she had been named! She wondered if she'd be able to find another cat her age to share her excitement with, seeing as her friend Chicoryspring was back home, and their other friend Reedbloom was busy with her father. Peering into the crowd, she spotted a molly who seemed to have a similar spring to her step, so she bounded over. "Hi! How are you?"

⚘ Hazefrost
tom ; warrior ; tags: crossflight
Hazefrost ducked into the clearing and immediately separated from the group. He wanted to find someone new and interesting to talk to- after all that had happened in VagaryClan recently, he needed someone to help clear his head. Because of this, he was grateful to have been picked for tonight's Gathering, and padded towards a group of warriors who looked like they had an interesting conversation going.

☆ Crowpaw
tom ; apprentice ; tags: falconpaw
Crowpaw glanced behind him at his father Rustfoot and, when he wasn't looking, snuck away into the crowd. Giggling to himself like he'd just achieved a master heist, he gently pushed through the clusters of cats to try and find someone fun to pester. It wasn't long before he spotted a molly sitting on her own with wide, fearful eyes, and suddenly he felt the need to go comfort her. He approached slowly, and called out when he was a fair distance away, "Hi! Can I come sit with you?"

Crossflight - she-cat - warrior - a longhaired gray classic tabby with deep green eyes - tagged; reserved for Hazefrost (VagaryClan)

It had been moons since CloudClan had attended a gathering. And to be honest? Crossflight wasn't too thrilled to attend, but... as she had been chosen, she'd come along anyway. Sighing, the gray classic tabby slowly made her way through the eager crowds, all her senses on high alert for any cats who could potentially have been from her old Clan.

Please, StarClan, she prayed silently, skirting around the edge of the crowd now, please let me be safe during this Gathering...

OUTBACK RUNNERS !!
Marbledstar | Molly - Queen - 49 Moons - Tagged: Reserved for Tawnyrose


Marbledstar took a deep breath as she led her Clan up towards the Gathering. She bounced from paw to paw in anticipation, genuinely just wanting the night to be over. She wanted to return to camp to properly mourn for Sandbelly. She wanted to return to camp to see Jerboakit. She wanted to return to camp to formally welcome the newest members that had been brought in from that day's patrols. It had been a gut-wrenching morning when the announcement of Sandbelly's passing had arrived, but Marbledstar thought that the Gathering might take her clanmates' minds off of the grief. She licked her lips as she watched her clanmates mingle with others, and she slowly padded over to the gathering of leaders. She knew Jerboakit would love to come to a Gathering as soon as she was old enough, so she made a mental note to bring her after her first moon as a trainee. With a sigh, Marbledstar began to groom her pelt to make sure she was presentable. She didn't want her past to define her, so she was often seen making sure her pelt was as groomed as it ever could be.


Driftantler | Tom - Advisor - 63 Moons - Tagged: Tsunamibite (TundraClan)

As Driftantler drifted through the crowd, he spotted a cat padding towards the center of the group. Hoping the cat was doing so in search of a new friend, Driftantler rapidly approached him. "Hello, there. I am Driftantler, advisor of the Outback Runners. Are you opposed to my company this fine evening?" he asked. His voice was silky smooth, as gentle as a stream and as sweet as honey. He was known for rather eloquent language, and he very rarely used slang. Perhaps this supposed sophistication had been why he was unanimously voted to be an advisor mere moons after he joined the Outback Runners.

Maplesong | Molly - Herbalist - 86 Moons - Tagged: Stintspeckle (IvyClan)

As she padded through the crowd, she noticed a cat seemingly clinging to the outskirts of the Gathering itself. She could tell that he was blind, and it made sense that he would want to stay outside of the main group. She approached him happily, grinning as she called out a hello. "My name is Maplesong, an herbalist from the Outback Runners. How are you today?" she meowed brightly, choosing to sit close to the tom. She was excited to meet him. She did not recall ever seeing him before, and she had never before spoken with a cat that carried the scent he did. He must have been from a Clan she had not met before, but that was not an amazing feat. Truth be told, Maplesong had not been to many Gatherings before. She very rarely came to them, and even then she mostly stuck to speaking to one cat a night. So she honestly had not met most Clans. Her filing cabinet of Clan names was woefully thin, and she was eager to add another Clan to it tonight.

Carneliansight | Tom - Runner - 32 Moons - Tagged: Reserved for Jumpkick


Carneliansight was watching the Gathering excitedly. He hadn't been to one before, and he was more than eager to make friends outside of his Clan. While he wanted to be back at camp, celebrating his sister's new rank as Chaser, he was just as excited to be here tonight. Carneliansight puffed out his fur, a typical fashion for him as he was always trying to seem bigger than he was. It came with being nearly half the size of your three littermates, and many often told Carneliansight that he was being silly. He just sighed and plowed his way into the crowd with an award-winning smile. He wanted to find a friend, but perhaps he might find love here.


Gimli | Molly - Chaser - 15 Moons - Tagged: Open


Gimli was stuck to Dawnshade's hip until they reached the crest of the hill that led into the Gathering. As a new and relatively young Chaser, Gimli was overly excited to charge into the gathered warriors. Dawnshade was left standing atop the hill, but Gimli knew the young molly would be just fine finding her own way. Gimli bounced from cat to cat, peering at their faces as she eagerly sought out a new friendship. The brightness in her eyes was visible from far away, and her chirping could be heard from across the clearing as she sped between legs and paws in an attempt to find a cat as excited as she was.


Dawnshade | Molly - Chaser - 13 Moons - Tagged: Pipertrill (VagaryClan)

Dawnshade's ears perked up, the fur along her spine and tail stood on end, and she sprung in a circle as a bright and bubbly voice reached her ears. As she realized it was another, seemingly friendly, cat, she let her fur lie flat and ducked her head in embarrassment. "Oh, sorry. You kind of scared me. I've always been a tad jumpy, at least that's what my littermate always says," she meowed, quickly clamping down her jaws she realized she was rambling. She was known to talk fast when she got nervous, and she was clearly unsettled by being here. "My name's Dawnpaw... er, Dawnshade. I'm sorry, I just got my new name so I'm not quite used to it yet," she chuckled lightly.

HIGHGARDEN
tawnyrose | molly, queen, 83m, tagged: marbledstar
indentwhile so much had ravaged highgarden in recent moons, leaving long, lasting scars that would never truly be forgotton, tawnyrose believed that it was important to maintain some sense of normalcy. as she looked across the faces of her clanmates, she noticed the way that ironrumble shuffled his paws, the young knight still anxious to meet with his family ever since his mother's premature death, the haunted look in ravenpaw's eyes, and waxwing's scowl. she knew that each of her clanmates had thoughts running through their heads, too quickly for tawnyrose to keep up with, and they each believed that they would gain something from the gathering. so she waved them all off, her own son the slowest to follow, and pinespirit glanced back at tawnyrose one more time before plunging into the clearing, and she lost track of his familiar pelt.
indentas tawnyrose settled down into her usual spot, she let out a heavy sigh that she didn't realize she had been holding in. her sharp green eyes looked out over the rest of the gathering. she caught sight of lightningstorm's unique tortoiseshell fur and ravenpaw sitting among the other medicine cats, but there was no sign of pinespirit. absently, she flicked her tail and spoke to the nearest cat: "you don't happen to see a brown and white tabby, do you?" she paused after a moment, catching herself and letting out a breathy laugh, waving her own question aside. "sorry - i realized that it wasn't a good question. i'm looking for my son. i know he'll be fine, he's a full-grown knight but... i'm a mother, and i guess i can't help but worry sometimes." she ducked her head and lapped at her chest fur, absently. "but don't let him know that, i'd never hear the end of his assurances that he's just as capable as any other cat. i'm tawnyrose, highgarden's queen. how are you?"

ravenpaw | tom, herbalist's thorn, 11m, tagged: swordpaw
indentravenpaw stuck close to the edge of the gathering after tawnyrose dismissed the patrol for the evening. he knew that it was rather uncommon - a thorn to be alone at a gathering without his mentor, perhaps even more uncommon for herbalists. but, he knew that merlinsong, gladesun, solsticestand, and squirrelleaf had matters to attend to at camp. and solsticestand had encouraged ravenpaw, saying that it would be a good experience, a good chance to get away from everything else and have a night outside of highgarden's territory. but, deep down, he knew that she felt sorry for him. his headaches and visions had been getting worse, and ravenpaw knew that solsticestand was hoping the gathering would help clear his mind.
indentsure enough, it was increasingly difficult to concentrate on another other than the gathering. with so many cats together in one place, so many of them strangers, it was easier to stay along the outside. after some time, ravenpaw's pads began to ache, and he approached one of the cats sitting alone. he cleared his throat. "hi, my name's ravenpaw. i'm an herbalist of highgarden." he scuffed his forepaw absently against the soft dirt. "would you mind if i sat with you for a little bit? i don't think i'm ready to try to go into the rest of the gathering, it's a little crowded, and i'm not too keen on having warriors tread on my tail."

ironrumble | tom, knight, 15m, tagged: flintfur & reedbloom
indenthe needed this more than he could say. over the past several moons, highgarden had become, in a word, lonely. though he still had friends and dovecry had become a near constant in ironrumble's day-to-day activities, ironrumble was lonely. ever since turtlehollow's death, he felt as though he had been walking through a dream. he felt as though he was missing his own tail. never again would his mother ask him to join on a hunting patrol; they wouldn't share a piece of prey in the evening; he would never find comfort in her smile again. no matter what anyone else said, there were only two other cats who could understand his unique pain, and not even dovecry understood ironrumble's hurt.
indentso he was prepared to ask tawnyrose for a spot on the gathering patrol, needing to see his father and sister again. but tawnyrose had merely nodded to his request when he went to her, offering a few kind words of understanding before telling him to rest for the travels. and, at last, ironrumble found himself standing in the massive clearing, staring out among the strangers for any sight of his family. at last, he found them, and he couldn't help but smile as he called out his sister's name: "reedbloom!"
indenthe bounded over to them, finding a new sense of energy that he hadn't felt in several moons as he met them halfway, immediately burying his nose into his father's fur. "i'm glad i could come," he said, feeling his chest momenarily swell with emotion. "i've missed you both a lot."

"Ironrumble!" It was Reedbloom who spotted him first, and she shot forward to greet her brother, purring loudly. She hadn't seen him in so long, and having him there felt a bit surreal. Flintfur seemed to get a kick back in his step as he bounded forward to meet his son, and pressed his nose into Ironrumble's cheek as they embraced. "We've missed you too." He replied, before stepping back for a moment. Reedbloom was pleased to see her father's eyes light up with emotion and happiness once again, and she turned back to Ironrumble. "Where's Mother?

His voice was deep and rumbled in his chest, and he did his best to appear non-threatening as they locked eyes. "Though I suppose I can't say I've been to many Gatherings. Are you alright?"

☆ Crowpaw

Crowpaw realized that another apprentice had approached them, and he grinned in their direction and waved his tail in greeting. "Hey! I was just about to introduce myself, but you beat me to it! I'm Crowpaw." He offered another smile to the apprentice he had first approached, who still hadn't spoken a word. "What Clans are you guys from?" He excitedly looked from Beetlepaw to the other apprentice and back again.

indentwhile so much had ravaged highgarden in recent moons, leaving long, lasting scars that would never truly be forgotton, tawnyrose believed that it was important to maintain some sense of normalcy. as she looked across the faces of her clanmates, she noticed the way that ironrumble shuffled his paws, the young knight still anxious to meet with his family ever since his mother's premature death, the haunted look in ravenpaw's eyes, and waxwing's scowl. she knew that each of her clanmates had thoughts running through their heads, too quickly for tawnyrose to keep up with, and they each believed that they would gain something from the gathering. so she waved them all off, her own son the slowest to follow, and pinespirit glanced back at tawnyrose one more time before plunging into the clearing, and she lost track of his familiar pelt.
indentas tawnyrose settled down into her usual spot, she let out a heavy sigh that she didn't realize she had been holding in. her sharp green eyes looked out over the rest of the gathering. she caught sight of lightningstorm's unique tortoiseshell fur and ravenpaw sitting among the other medicine cats, but there was no sign of pinespirit. absently, she flicked her tail and spoke to the nearest cat: "you don't happen to see a brown and white tabby, do you?" she paused after a moment, catching herself and letting out a breathy laugh, waving her own question aside. "sorry - i realized that it wasn't a good question. i'm looking for my son. i know he'll be fine, he's a full-grown knight but... i'm a mother, and i guess i can't help but worry sometimes." she ducked her head and lapped at her chest fur, absently. "but don't let him know that, i'd never hear the end of his assurances that he's just as capable as any other cat. i'm tawnyrose, highgarden's queen. how are you?"

ravenpaw | tom, herbalist's thorn, 11m, tagged: swordpaw
indentravenpaw stuck close to the edge of the gathering after tawnyrose dismissed the patrol for the evening. he knew that it was rather uncommon - a thorn to be alone at a gathering without his mentor, perhaps even more uncommon for herbalists. but, he knew that merlinsong, gladesun, solsticestand, and squirrelleaf had matters to attend to at camp. and solsticestand had encouraged ravenpaw, saying that it would be a good experience, a good chance to get away from everything else and have a night outside of highgarden's territory. but, deep down, he knew that she felt sorry for him. his headaches and visions had been getting worse, and ravenpaw knew that solsticestand was hoping the gathering would help clear his mind.
indentsure enough, it was increasingly difficult to concentrate on another other than the gathering. with so many cats together in one place, so many of them strangers, it was easier to stay along the outside. after some time, ravenpaw's pads began to ache, and he approached one of the cats sitting alone. he cleared his throat. "hi, my name's ravenpaw. i'm an herbalist of highgarden." he scuffed his forepaw absently against the soft dirt. "would you mind if i sat with you for a little bit? i don't think i'm ready to try to go into the rest of the gathering, it's a little crowded, and i'm not too keen on having warriors tread on my tail."

ironrumble | tom, knight, 15m, tagged: flintfur & reedbloom
indentfor a long moment, it seemed as though everything had been mended and everything was as it was meant to be. but, as soon as reedbloom looked over ironrumble's shoulder and he caught the hope in his father's eyes, he knew that it was merely the end. his breath caught a lump in his throat and his smile disappeared, wiped entirely from his features. he couldn't even look at his family, able to stare down only at his paws for a long moment as he struggled to find his voice. "i - uh. mom, she -" he stopped short, drawing in a deep breath before he could muster the strength to look at flintfur.
indent"dad, i -" i'm sorry wasn't strong enough, but it was all he could think of. "mom went on a patrol last moon and there were badgers. i..." he paused again, his breath becoming ragged. he shook his head vigorously, as if he could shake the memory of turtlehollow's last moments from his head. it was too painful, too raw, still, and ironrumble couldn't bare to look at his family and see their reactions. "i spoke to her for just a moment when she made it home but... she didn't make it any longer than that. i'm so sorry dad," he said as tears burned his eyes. "i should've been there, i should've stopped it... i'm so sorry."

OUTBACK RUNNERS !!
Marbledstar | Molly - Queen - 49 Moons - Tagged: Reserved for Tawnyrose

Marbledstar was shocked when the molly next to her spoke as if they had already been in the middle of a conversation. Without knowing the molly's name, Marbledstar listened as she spoke about searching for her son who was apparently a full-grown knight. "I regret to inform you that I do not see a single brown and white tabby, but many. It seems to be a popular pelt color throughout all the Clans," she chuckled lightly. Once Tawnyrose introduced herself, Marbledstar couldn't help but smirk. She had never met a cat with the same title as her, and it was refreshing to see how another Clan's unique ranking system had similarities with her own. "I'm Marbledstar, queen of the Outback Runners. I understand your concern, though. My own daughter, Jerboakit, is just a few moons old. I want to bring to a Gathering as soon as she is able, but I'm very nervous about letting her go off on her own. I was just debating on if I should keep her with me in the leaders' section when I do bring her," she murmured. Her protectiveness over Jerboakit might have stemmed from the protectiveness she had experienced as the adopted daughter of Sablefrost, but it might also have come from the want to protect her from the things Marbledstar had witnessed and inflicted in her many moons of life. She never wanted her daughter to have to do the things she had done.

Driftantler | Tom - Advisor - 63 Moons - Tagged: Tsunamibite (TundraClan)

Driftantler smiled softly as Tsunamibite introduced himself. It was a rather unique name, as he did not hear many cats with tsunami as a prefix. If his memory served him right, a tsunami was a devastating wave that destroyed nearly everything it hit. Perhaps that was the reason for the tom's name, but he sincerely hoped not. If it was, he wanted to stay on his good side. "The Outback Runners have attended numerous Gatherings. We have recently changed our name, along with our change in territory, as it was necessary to regain contact with our gods and ancestors. We have completely put the past behind us and prefer to leave it there. I do not recognize your scent, so it is very likely that our Clans have not crossed paths before. With the sheer number of Clans that attend Gatherings, neither of us have likely met half of the ones in attendance. It is rather astounding," he meowed. His explanation may have been long and winding, but Driftantler felt that he should be allowed to use as many words as he pleased to get his point across. He hoped to not annoy or upset Tsunamibite, but he was not willing to be anything but himself at a Gathering. He did not want to change his personality to get along with a stranger for just one night, and that was a rule he stood by.

Maplesong | Molly - Herbalist - 86 Moons - Tagged: Stintspeckle (IvyClan)


As she padded through the crowd, she noticed a cat seemingly clinging to the outskirts of the Gathering itself. She could tell that he was blind, and it made sense that he would want to stay outside of the main group. She approached him happily, grinning as she called out a hello. "My name is Maplesong, an herbalist from the Outback Runners. How are you today?" she meowed brightly, choosing to sit close to the tom. She was excited to meet him. She did not recall ever seeing him before, and she had never before spoken with a cat that carried the scent he did. He must have been from a Clan she had not met before, but that was not an amazing feat. Truth be told, Maplesong had not been to many Gatherings before. She very rarely came to them, and even then she mostly stuck to speaking to one cat a night. So she honestly had not met most Clans. Her filing cabinet of Clan names was woefully thin, and she was eager to add another Clan to it tonight.


Carneliansight | Tom - Runner - 32 Moons - Tagged: Reserved for Jumpkick


Carneliansight was watching the Gathering excitedly. He hadn't been to one before, and he was more than eager to make friends outside of his Clan. While he wanted to be back at camp, celebrating his sister's new rank as Chaser, he was just as excited to be here tonight. Carneliansight puffed out his fur, a typical fashion for him as he was always trying to seem bigger than he was. It came with being nearly half the size of your three littermates, and many often told Carneliansight that he was being silly. He just sighed and plowed his way into the crowd with an award-winning smile. He wanted to find a friend, but perhaps he might find love here.


Gimli | Molly - Chaser - 15 Moons - Tagged: Open


Gimli was stuck to Dawnshade's hip until they reached the crest of the hill that led into the Gathering. As a new and relatively young Chaser, Gimli was overly excited to charge into the gathered warriors. Dawnshade was left standing atop the hill, but Gimli knew the young molly would be just fine finding her own way. Gimli bounced from cat to cat, peering at their faces as she eagerly sought out a new friendship. The brightness in her eyes was visible from far away, and her chirping could be heard from across the clearing as she sped between legs and paws in an attempt to find a cat as excited as she was.


Dawnshade | Molly - Chaser - 13 Moons - Tagged: Pipertrill (VagaryClan)

Dawnshade could barely keep up with Pipertrill's words, her eyes wide as they seemed to pour from her mouth with the ferocity of a waterfall. "Mine was terrifying. I had to go right after Jadewink, and she passed her with flying colors. I was absolutely terrified that I would let my mentor down after I watched Murrefade cry over how good Jadewink had done. Not to mention that I started my training in a completely different territory, but that was before my Clan moved," she meowed. Dawnshade knew that her mother, Mooseglow, was proud of her, but she was worried what the future held for her now that both her kits were fully grown. Shaking aside her worries, Dawnshade grinned brightly at Pipertrill. "My littermate, Mistripple, got her name with me. I wish she was here tonight, she would have loved to meet you," she said with a chirp punctuating her sentence. Dawnshade was known for her high pitched, squeaky, chirp-filled voice. She was always relentlessly teased about it by Mistripple, but it was just playful sibling banter. She knew Mistripple would never say a thing to actually hurt her.
