North✰star | leader | female | tags: open ✰

Northstar straightened herself up. She was a proud clan leader. This was no time to sulk. She had to show her best side to all those fools around her. And the ones responsible for putting her in a bad mood… they will be dealt with later.

Gentleman | warrior | male | tags: Autumnsong of Truffleclan (littleminicooper) ✰

Gentleman slowly nodded his head with grave seriousness, then loudly let out a breath. “It’s honestly a miracle that you haven’t poisoned anyone yet. Thank the Starclan I was able to meet you and pass on this knowledge. Your clan will be safe under your care.”

Songbird | warrior | male | tags: Moonlight of Nox Invictus (Kazin) ✰

“It’s nice to meet you, Moonlight.” Songbird sat comfortably opposite her. “No, that’s actually the first time I’m trying it out. I think I might be the inventor of beetle-based accessories.” He chuckles and with his paw grabs the beetle from his fur and presents in to Moonlight. “Would you like to try it out? Although I think a red one might look better on you.”

Whetley | kit | female | tagging: Hyenapaw of Auroraclan (Red weasel) ✰

Whetley looked around and realized that she had lost her clan, just like Bacup. The two cats shared many visual similarities and were raised together, but despite that their characters were very different. Without someone to support him the small tom closed up, giving in to anxiety and put himself in a pessimistic, grumpy mood. Meanwhile the she-cat was perfectly fine. She knew she would find her clanmates sooner or later. There was no chance they would return home without her and if she ever need help finding them, all she had to do was ask for help one of those nice strangers. But she wasn’t worried about that right now. There were so many interesting people and various intriguing conversations were reaching her ears. One of them sounded particularly fascinating and Whetley followed the voice until she found the speaker. Whetley didn’t know anything about herbs, but always wanted to learn. Helping other cats seemed like the best thing in the world.

Bacup | kit | male | tagging: Thistletuft of Seaclan (winter solstice.) ✰

Bacup was frightened. Everyone around him was so tall and so new and suddenly so scary. He was perfectly fine just playing around with Whetley, but now he was just a little cat lost in the unknown. He stood up. He had to find his clan before they return home leaving him behind forever. He managed to only take a few steps before bumping into a longhaired, grey tom. He wanted to say something, but fear took him over and he froze, staring at the cat with wide eyes.

SeaClan
Cats Attending: Carrotstar (leader), Thistletuft (deputy), Bramblinglight (medicine cat), Anwyll (warrior), Bracketcloud (warrior), Dryadripple (warrior), Rainstream (warrior), Cicelycloud (warrior), Ghostpaw (apprentice), Leafwhisker (elder)

Carrotstar - leader - tom - a shorthaired ginger-and-white mackerel tabby with leaf-green eyes - tagged; Cockroachstar (TundraClan)

Carrotstar admitted, "SeaClan only has an increased chance in kits whenever we are trying to bounce back from a tragedy, so I take this particular boom as a good sign, to hope that the murders will finally cease." He then added cheerfully, "Oh, speaking of good news. SeaClan usually struggles in leafbare due to increased chances of a greencough epidemic, but this last leafbare, we haven't had a single case."
Thistletuft - deputy - tom - a longhaired solid gray-and-white tom with yellow eyes - tagged; Bacup (Whiskered Away)

Thistletuft hadn't wandered too far away from the point where SeaClan had entered the Gathering, but noticed a kit, of all cats, staring at him with wide eyes. The fluffy gray-and-white tom decided to berate whoever he woulld meet from his clan for bringing a kit to the Gathering, not to mention leaving them alone in the thick of it. Taking a deep breath, the tom sat down, neatly tucking his paws in and covering them with his tail, hoping to lessen the kit's fright, and mewed, "Hello, young one, are you lost?"
Bramblinglight - medicine cat - she-cat - a longhaired black mackerel torbie with yellow eyes - tagged; Faondapple (ChessClan)

Bramblinglight laughed, "I'm sure Toffeecrunch will learn eventually. I had to learn that the hard way myself," snorting at her younger self's enthusiasm, "when I used to not shut up."

Bramblinglight then mused, "Mm... it doesn't feel all that different, to be honest with you. Dappledawn, Sandripple, and Comfreyleaf never treated me differently, or babied me at all. But I guess..." she admitted, "I should call it StarClan's blessing, but I don't have any of the big experience like the older medicine cats, you know? Dappledawn... she's been through so much to last three cats' lifetimes.. Sandripple escaped from a clan falling apart before he came to SeaClan.. and Comfreyleaf, as well as the other two, had to experience the deaths of Honeytuft, the first medicine cat of SeaClan. I wasn't there for any of it, and like... I almost wish there be something like greencough, just to get my paws working?" She added hastily, "but like... not actually want it, StarClan no..." She looked at her paws, embarrassed at how she'd worded everything wrong.
Anwyll - warrior - tom - a dominant white shorthair with yellow eyes - tagged; Onya (SwiftClan), traveling with Bracketcloud

Anwyll smiled and nuzzled his mate affectionately, as Bracketcloud mewed softly, "That goes the same for SwiftClan, mum. Let us know if you ever need backup. SeaClan also has a lot of cats who will fight for the safety of their allies." She then sighed, "I just... wish I could be like Arumwhisper and Quickflow... who are trying to figure who are behind these awful murders. I feel... almost... useless, not being able to do much in these times of need, you know?"

Cicelycloud - warrior - she-cat - a dominant white shorthair with blue eyes - tagged; Willowreed (IvyClan)

Cicelycloud caught her scent before she heard her voice. The former IvyClan she-cat whirled around and saw the familiar pelt of her old mentor, and rushed to meet her, crying out with joy, "Willowreed! Oh, StarClan, you came!" She touched noses with the IvyClan spy like how she did on her first day of apprenticeship with the kind she-cat, and mewed, "I... I didn't think I'd make it, but StarClan wanted me to live, Willowreed! A StarClan cat came to me in a dream and told me to go north, find my new home. Then I remembered... last Gathering, I met a warrior from a clan called SeaClan, and she and I got along so well..." She gushed, feeling so comfortable at her old msntor's side once more, "So I pushed ahead until I found a SeaClan patrol, and here I am, a proud warrior at last. I'm Cicelycloud now, by the way," the white she-cat added proudly, her eyes twinkling in the pale moonlight.
Ghostpaw - apprentice - she-cat - a longhaired solid fawn-and-white she-cat with green eyes - tagged; Frogpaw (ForestClan)

Ghostpaw blinked in amusement at Frogpaw's reply, meowing at the end, "You really remind me of my sister, Shellpaw! She'd probably tease me a little, and then try to fib and exaggerate things the older apprentices said to her, but at the end, she always makes me feel better about... you know," she looked down at her paws, tail drooping a little, "too shy to strike up conversations with anyone other than her..."

CloudClan
Cats Attending: Ploverstar (leader), Darkcrow (deputy), Silverdapple (medicine cat), Capercaillieflight (warrior), Coalshadow (warrior), Quietrain (warrior), Nightbreeze (warrior), Shardpaw (apprentice)

Ploverstar - leader - she-cat - a shorthaired black classic tabby with green eyes - tagged; Tawnyrose (Highgarden)

Ploverstar listened to Tawnyrose and meowed when she finished her own tale, "I... I can't imagine losing all of your family and friends to a horrible flood... I... I'm sure they are in a good place now," she tried to reassure the Highgarden leader, "and I'm sure you are a great leader too, ma'am. You were the one responsible for rebuilding Highgarden, were you not? That, in itself, is no small feat." The black classic tabby laughed softly abd mewed sheepishly, "In a sense, we both needed to look back on our lives and realize we did something good, eh?"

The CloudClan leader then asked, suddenly curious, "Oh, I've been meaning to ask... as I understand it, you are your clan's leader, the Queen. Normally, at least in my clan," she corrected herself hastily, "there is a deputy, a second-in-command, who would take leadership when the leader is unable to do so. Is there a deputy in your clan too? And if you do, what do you call them?" Curse her curiosity, indeed...

Coalshadow - warrior - tom - a longhaired solid black-and-white tom with olive eyes - tagged; Copperpaw (ForestClan), traveling with Shardpaw

Coalshadow's whiskers twitched in amusement at Shardpaw's comment and meowed slowly, "It's not so bad for us with longer fur, Shardpaw. We get snow in the middle of leaf-fall, remember?" His apprentice gulped at the thought of snow and nodded sheepishly, "Oh... oh yeah.."

Coalshadow chuckled and addressed Copperpaw, "Cliff-running is dangerous, but that's why I said only some of us are specialized." He blinked thoughtfully, "I... think it's only Ploverstar, Jackdawnose, and Capercaillieflight at the moment."

IceClan
Cats Attending: Leekstar (leader), Pineshadow (deputy), Icestep (medicine cat), Bleakwhisper (warrior), Alkanetnose (warrior), Mochacloud (warrior), Lindenmist (warrior), Spiderpaw (apprentice)

Leekstar - leader - she-cat - a dominant white longhair with amber-blue heterochromia - tagged; open

Pineshadow - deputy - she-cat - a longhaired black mackerel tabby with green eyes - tagged; Kiri (Nox Invictus)

Pineshadow smiled politely as she began her lengthy tale, "Ah... yes. It's a bit of a long one, but here we are. Mm," she reminisced, "I was once a loner who was called upon my ancestors to rebuild a clan called EmberClan, and I became its leader, as Hawkstar. Many moons of happiness were spent leading the clan; however, tragedy struck when many events led to its disbanding." The tabby's long fur fluffed out in fear as she murmured, "I'd rather not utter what led to its disbanding, if it is all right with you." The IceClan deputy then recounted her journey to IceClan, meowing, "I stayed to the end, until no other cat was left in thise accursed lands. I vowed never to trust StarClan again, and journeyed north, and met Leekstar, who was just starting her own clan. After a few days of speaking with her, I decided to give clan life another try... and now here we are," Pineshadow chuckled, "I'm now its deputy, with the name of Pineshadow. Our clan is in the middle of a pine forest," the IceClan deputy explained, "and I chose my new name carefully. Pine- for the trees we live among, and -shadow to mean that I will always defend my clan, like the shadows that cast over our camp, which will never disappear."
Icestep - medicine cat - tom - shorthaired flame point with blue eyes - tagged; Ceriseberry (KeyClan)

'A kittypet thing,' Icestep mused silently, 'would make sense, if their leader was once a kittypet...' The IceClan medicine cat nodded his thanks and mewed, "I do hope I wasn't being rude, Ceriseberry. It is fascinating, to think of how other clans got their names, you see," he went on, "I may be a humble medicine cat, but I could call myself a scholar, of lore. I do love hearing from cats in all walks of life."

Mochacloud - a longhaired lilac classic tabby with browm eyes - tagged; Spiderweb (TruffleClan)

Mochacloud smiled a little, though ut did not quite reach her eyes, "It's okay. IceClan helped me to move on from my past. I've got so many cats who could be my own littermates, or best friends, I shouldn't ever mope around. Too little time for that," she laughed, "eh?" She then nodded, muaing, "Yeah, a clan is a big family, full of cats who are out for you and each other. I loved the concept so much when Leekstar first told me about it, I basically begged her until she agreed to let me join."
Limdenmist - warrior - she-cat - a dominant white longhair with green eyes - tagged; open

text.
Thrushpaw - apprentice - tom - a longhaired gray-and-white mackerel tabby with green eyes - tagged; Lilieae (Withered Fang Peak)

Thrushpaw stayed as calm as he could, slowly following the familiar scent of Lindenmist, the warrior who had last ventured off, in hopes of reconnecting with her for an easier navigation through the mass of cats that was the Gathering. Instead, however, he'd come face to face with a much bigger apprentice. Clearly she was not from IceClan, so the gray-and-white mackerel tabby mewed politely, "Hello, I'm Thrushpaw, of IceClan. I... uh," he trailed off, struggling to find words to introduce himself further, and ended up mewing, "I hope you are doing well?" He had no idea what 'colony' meant, but he figured he'd ask at the next opportunity.

Lightningstar | Tom | Tagged: Strawberryfall, Applestar

Strawberryfall nodded thoughtfully, "That's actually a good way of managing that commitment," he murmured approvingly, "I'll talk to the other med cats about implementing that in Swiftclan."

Lightningstar chuckled, shaking his head, "Not exactly. All my deputies but two, who travel with me to advise me, but the rest each run one camp. We have two in the center, one for the queens and their kits, right next to the camp where the apprentices and their mentors live. Then we have four around the edges of the territory, to prevent overhunting in the center and better secure our borders. It was Loonmeteor's idea, and has proven to have massive potential."

Killmonger | Tom | Tagged: Bearslayer, Pebblespots

Killmonger laughed, "Nice to meet you Pebblespots! And I'm not sure what a monger is, I was given this name by my two-legs when I was a kit, and I decided to keep it when I joined the clan. I know I am named after a great two-leg warrior though."

Bearslayer chuckled as well, "To add to the confusion, I've never even seen a bear, let alone slayed one." he offered, "But I was in fact named Bearkit."

Onya smiled, shaking her head, "You young things, always chasing adventure. I for one am glad you're not involved, you'll be much safer that way." She leaned into Anwyll's nuzzle, soaking up the feeling she had gone without for so long.

Cottonfur | Tom | Tagged: open

Cottonfur beamed, nodding enthusiastically, "Oh yes! There are these....what did Luxx call them....his two-legs used to collect them. They're..." He paused, squinting his eyes shut in concentration, before jumping with excitement, "FOSSILS!! That's the two-legs word for them!! They're rocks, that looks like they have strange patterns on their surface like shells, but it's not just a pattern, it's actually a very very very very very very old shell that sat in the ocean so long it became part of the rock!! I look for them every time I go, if you ever visit Swiftclan I'll show you what they look like!"

Sloeface | Molly | Tagged: Failnaughtfire

Sloesface smiled slightly, shifting her paws a little, "I understand that," she murmured, "I don't have many memories of my mother, two-legs stole her from me when I was very very young. I sometime wonder if she escaped them too."

Manateecall | Tom | Tagged: Tourbillionpelt, Figspots

Manateecall nodded emphatically, scrunching his nose at the thought. "It always tasted bland and fake." he agreed, "And maybe. Swiftclan absolutely reaps the benefits of being a large clan, but there are detriments too, with so many mouths to feed and such large borders to patrol."

Honeychirp | Tom | Tagged: open

Honeychirp's brow furrowed in utter confusion, trying to wrap his head around what his brother was telling him, "I...You must have started courting very young." He said hesitantly, "Forestclan must have very different traditions, here we often don't start courting until we're 15 moons, but I haven't done it yet. But that's just our traditions of course, it's not the only way to do things I'm sure." He listened to the rest of the story, nodding along, "I'm sure it would have been terrifying to almost lose the love of your life as an apprentice, at that point you must have been, what, eight or nine moons?" He listened to his brother talk lovingly about his mate and smiled, "Three moons does tend to be when the kits start to truly be a handful it seems," he laughed, "That's when the queens in our clan will often drop them off with the Nursery Helpers for a few hours. And I can't wait to meet them, they sound lovely!"

"New kits is always a blessing," Sweetsun commented, "Though I suppose everyone coming to the gathering must be extra careful to avoid catching anything with kits just born." As he listened to the mollies chatter, he laughed, "Swiftclan gave up avoiding duplicate prefixes long ago, though there has been talk from the younger mollies of trying to be careful when naming their new kits. But with a clan our size it's hard for any one cat to know all the other cats."

HazeClan
Attending: Peridotstar, Mothtuft, Vaporwind, Periwinklepaw

Peridotstar | Female | 58 moons | Leader | Tagged: Cyanstar (QuickClan)
The more the two leaders talked amongst themselves the more Peridotstar found herself relaxing around Cyanstar. HazeClan cats trust him and all of QuickClan for a reason. "Hearing those words mean more than you know. Thank you." She purred, dipping her head to him. "As for HazeClan and how we are fairing. I say well. Thriving once more. I hope QuickClan is fairing just as well."

Hearing Rosewillow speak and mention hos she liked his named, made the silver tabby tom shy in a different way. He ducked his head a bit, smiling as the calico molly spoke. "You're to kind Rosewillow... Thank you. Also who is this Silverpsirit you speak of? Are... are they apart of your clan?" Perwinklepaw asked curiously, tipping his head slightly as he spoke.

IvyClan
Attending: Willowreed, Stintspeckle, Tipcatcher, Strawberryseed

Willowreed | Female | 80 moons | Spy | Tagged: Res. for Cicelycloud of SeaClan
Willowreed embraced Cicelycloud as the all white molly approuched, a very loud rumbling erupting from her. "Thank the stars they never gave up on you. I knew you could do it. I just... I was just so worried." the molly meowed. Willowreed gave a small nod as Cicelycloud spoke more, an overwhelming feeling of pride washing over her. "I'm so proud of you Cicelycloud. I knew you could do it. It really is good to see you and know your thriving."[/quote]

Stintspeckle | Male | 21 moons | Med. Cat | Tagged: Swanflight (TundraClan)
"Leaders can have kits, as our leader just had her second litter. As for our healers... I don't think so. Although no cat has even asked... I know its a bit sticky I suppose with kits in our clan. Our leader she well she forbids just about any forbidden kind of relationships. Especially outside clan relations. However there have been a few rare cases." Stintspeckle explained. Sensing that Swanflight was a bit embarrassed, the black ticked tabby gave the other cat a small comforting nudge. "It's okay I promise." he meowed, trying to reassure them.

Strawberryseed | Female | 16 moons | Assassin | Tagged: Thistlepaw (Outback Runners)
Seeing Thistlepaw relax a bit more made the flame colored molly smile largely once more. She knew he would thrive well where ever he ended up, being happy he found a place he felt comfortable. "That's good to hear. As for our family you know mother, Mallowleaf, and Waxwing would be happy to know your doing well. I hope maybe another time you could maybe face them once again. You know maybe after you gained your confidence back and are able too." Strawberryseed meowed.

Cats attending

Laurelstar - leader - 50 moons - open

Having survived her first gathering, Laurelstar sat among the leaders with a little more confidence. At least she knew what to expect this time. The unknown tension in her clan seemed to at least not have followed her here. Still, there was a strange air to her group, as if everyone came with some sort of mission in mind.

Fernstep - Deputy - 39 moons - wheatclan - Twigchatcher

Fernstep decided sitting through her first gathering as deputy wasn't the way to go. She needed to make an impression, on her clan, her leader, or other deputies, whatever it was she needed to show. Of course who she would approach was itself a bit a mystery. She had no one she was suggested to. As her luck would be though, she didn’t seem to worry about finding anyone, as she walked right into another Tom. “Oh my goodness, I’m sorry!”

Creamfoot - med cat - 36 moons - see below
Dawnrush - Queen - 56 moons - Squirrelleaf - Highgarden

"Ooo!" Dawnrush perked up at the others words, "Yes! that does make sense, I think we could ge that to work. Though I have a feeling our elder Brsuhfang wouldn't enjoy the thought." Dawn chuckled at the thought of the grumpy tom." Creamfoot joined in, but added, "You might be able to persuade him, you do seem to be one of the few he actually likes." Dawnrush chucked, and then sighed. "I just hope things go well for our queens. We've already lost one, and many of the kits we've had were found outside of the clan." She thought back to her own adopted children, just now entering adulthood. There mother had been her friend, for the short time she had been with the clan. So many never knew their mothers.

Hyenapaw - med. app - 41 moons - see below
Pearpaw - med. app - 14 moons - Whiskered Away - Whetley

Hyenpaw had been switching between the topics of gatherings, and asking Pearpaw about her medical knowlodge since he was new to learning. Pearpaw knew what he was doing, trying to make a trade in information, trying to make her feel confident that she could teach him when he was knowledgeable himself, but it didn't make her less nervous herself. She was the first to notice the kit approaching them and immediately was nervous, and she silently pointed her tail to the approaching cat to get Hyenapaws attention. He turned his head, and upon noticing the kitten his ears perked up. "Well hello young one! I haven't met many kittens at gatherings, this must be am exciting day for you!" Pearpaw merely nodded next to him. She had no clue what the best move was with a potentially lost kitten, she wasn't quiet and adult herself. Still, she listened intently, knowing that at any point she might be pulled into the conversation at any moment, she knew it was always best to be prepared.

Gingerspring - warrior - 41 moons - Cooper - Aviaryclan

Gingerspring nodded at the toms words. "Clan life...well it wasn't in my cards at the time, but here I now!" Gingerspring tried her best to brush past her own past, mostly out of the desire to not have to think about it. "ah yes, I believe those are the very lights my clan was named after, though I am fairy new, so the clan history escapes me." Of course she wasn't going to mention that the cat who drew her to the clan had droned on to her about how fake the story sounded, he was convinced former leaders made it up to sound impressive. She wasn't sure herself.

Brushfire - warrior - 34 moons - The Fallen - Swanspiral

"Ah so its not just me cursed this gathering" Brushfire said with a laugh, not ready to discount the interaction yet. "Last gathering, I happened upon a little forbidden cross clan romance, and was hopping to get a little update on it, but I haven't been able to find the two. Hopefully that doesn't mean bad new for the pair." He questioned if his last statement was to much of a risk, as he had no clue how loyal the cat infant of him as over the code.

Snowbell- warrior - 32 moons - open - hoping to find someone who has spoken to starclan or is whatever like body they have

HIGHGARDEN
tawnyrose | molly, queen, 84m, tagged: ploverstar
indentploverstar's words were touching and, perhaps, exactly what tawnyrose needed when highgarden was locked in a war with a rogue group that threatened her clan's very existence. she dipped her head respectfully to ploverstar, happy to have met cloudclan's leader. "yes, i suppose you're right. and we should trust in ourselves more. we've led our clans from so much, and we should credit ourselves for all that we've done," she said. when ploverstar steered the conversation and posed a question about highgarden's deputy, tawnyrose let out a soft laugh. "it's rather complicated, actually. sometimes i think it would easier if we followed traditional clan stuctures, but i didn't create the rules," tawnyrose said with a laugh. "when i became queen, i selected my attendant. and he fills the role of deputy, for the most part. he oversees the clan and organizes patrols. but my daughter will become the next queen when the time comes, and she'll pick her own attendant as well," she explained. "so she's called my heir. but, we also have wardens, who are charged with the overall peformance and oversight for various activities, from training to hunting and scouting. with our clan growing so much over the past several seasons, it became a little much for bluetcrest and i to handle on our own. and the wardens will hold the positions until they decide to step down, or if cherryfire wishes to replace them when her time comes." she ducked her head to smooth down her chest fur. "like i said, it would probably be easier to handle if i just had a deputy, but, thankfully, we've had moons of practice," she said.

squirrelleaf | molly, herbalist, 24m, tagged: creamfoot & dawnrush
indentsquirrelleaf grinned at the pair's reaction to her suggestion, only to let out a laugh when they mentioned a "brushfang." "i think more cats are willing to help out than they'd admit at first. kits are such a source of joy in every clan, it's hard not to want to be near them and take care of them, i think," she said, thinking of how, even in highgarden, such of the largest and most feared knights and wilted seemed to melt at the sight of kits. however, as the mood turned more somber, squirrelleaf ducked her head respectfully. "the life of a clan cat is hard, of course, but i'm sure that the kits' parents and mothers are watching over them, even when they cannot be in the clan any longer. you're not alone."

figspots | molly, rose, 28m, tagged: manateecall & tourbillonpelt
indentfigspots hummed thoughtfully at the thought of the sheer number of cats that the swiftclan warriors had to work to feed every single day, and she sympathized that it wasn't all easy work. "that must be really hard, especially when it's cold," she said softly before shaking his head. "but at least there are also plenty of paws to help out, as well," she said. she glanced around the rest of the gathering, where so many other cats were sharing in their own private converstions, and she looked towards where the clan leaders were seated, and she finally glanced back to manateecall. "do you think you'd ever want to be a leader or deputy one day?" she asked.


QUICKCLAN
cyanstar | tom, leader, 78m, tagged: peridotstar
indent"i'm very glad to hear that," cyanstar said, his tone warm and genuine. "and we've been well, too, thank you. i'm hoping that the warmer weather will bring more rabbits back to the moorland. i could use the chance to stretch my legs during a hunt again, especially after such a bitter leaf-bare. though falconflight said that i'm slowing in my old age," he said with a fond laugh at the very thought of his mate. "otherwise, it's been rather quiet on our front. our medicine cat apprentice recently received his full name, and two of my grandkits passed their final assessments."

indentlycheewings nodded sympathetically as rootwake spoke about her family, and he tipped his head to one side. "do you still see your mother every now and then?" he asked. it was only much later, after half of his family had passed away, that lycheewings realized how much he had taken for granted, and it brought him even closer to asphodelstorm and dragonsoar as a result. he smiled when rootwake began to tell him about his sister, and he thought how nice it was to know that the sisters had a good relationship, even after all that they had been through. "she sounds like a really, really great cat, and i'm glad that you both got to be together again and live in the same clan," he said earnestly. he couldn't imagine being apart from dragonsoar, and hoped he would never have to. still, he chuckled and tipped his head curiously. "though i'm shocked that she's allowed to keep a mouse around so many clan cats. i'd be worried about an apprentice finding it on its own. but it really does say a lot about who your sister is that she would care about it. it's sweet."

thrushpaw | tom, apprentice, 9m, tagged: beetlepaw
indentwhen thrushpaw recognized that he was in the presence of a fellow-prankster, his eyes lit up and his grin widened. his laugh echoed in the small space that they shared, and his expression shifted to one of respect for the other apprentice. "that's a really good one, you're funny!" thrushpaw laughed, thankful that beetlepaw had bumped into him after all. he took the moment to ponder before lighting up once more. "what's the best joke you've ever pulled on another cat? i'm in need of some new ideas, and you seem like you're a whizz at thinking them up."

rootpaw | molly, apprentice, 8m, tagged: bear
indentwhen bear admitted that he didn't completely remember what his clan's name meant, she giggled, finding the other apprentice very amusing. she nodded along when he began to think through the question. "whatever it means, night is an interesting word, really mysterious. and i'm sure that you'll learn it eventually," she said, letting out another laugh. however, when bear told her that he was trained by their clan's leader, rootpaw's jaw dropped and she looked up at bear with round eyes. "your clan leader is your mentor? that's really amazing, you must have learned so much. cyanstar hasn't taken on apprentice in moons, but everyone says that he was one of the best mentors. you're so lucky," she gushed. she seemed to deflate a bit when bear said that he had no need to learn about swimming or climbing, but she straightened up when he asked about her own training. "let's see, i've learned agility and hunting and fighting," she listed off. "but i didn't really like fighting so much, actually. some of the other apprentices were really excited to try out battle moves, and verglaspetal, my mentor, said i learned it pretty quickly but... it just didn't feel right." though she hadn't told any of her friends or mentor about her feelings, it felt like she could confide in bear for the moment, and she looked to him, as if he could sort out her thoughts for her. "have you ever felt something like that? i wanted to have fun while we were training, and i know it's important but... i don't know, i just can't stop thinking about it."

Attending: Peridotstar, Mothtuft, Vaporwind, Periwinklepaw

Peridotstar | Female | 58 moons | Leader | Tagged: Cyanstar (QuickClan)
The mostly white molly let out a soft purr, giving the older leader a small nod after he was done speaking. "Well congratulations! I'm glad to hear that QuickClan and you are doing well. I'll be sure to inform Turtledove and Vaporwind." Peridotstar meowed, pausing briefly to look around in hopes to spot Vaporwind. With no luck the molly turned her attention back to Cyanstar once more. "You know if you guys ever need anything, HazeClan will be there to help. No questions asked."

Hearing Rosewillow speak and mention hos she liked his named, made the silver tabby tom shy in a different way. He ducked his head a bit, smiling as the calico molly spoke. "You're to kind Rosewillow... Thank you. Also who is this Silverpsirit you speak of? Are... are they apart of your clan?" Perwinklepaw asked curiously, tipping his head slightly as he spoke.

IvyClan
Attending: Willowreed, Stintspeckle, Tipcatcher, Strawberryseed

Willowreed | Female | 80 moons | Spy | Tagged: Res. for Cicelycloud of SeaClan
Willowreed embraced Cicelycloud as the all white molly approuched, a very loud rumbling erupting from her. "Thank the stars they never gave up on you. I knew you could do it. I just... I was just so worried." the molly meowed. Willowreed gave a small nod as Cicelycloud spoke more, an overwhelming feeling of pride washing over her. "I'm so proud of you Cicelycloud. I knew you could do it. It really is good to see you and know your thriving."

Stintspeckle | Male | 21 moons | Med. Cat | Tagged: Swanflight (TundraClan)
"Leaders can have kits, as our leader just had her second litter. As for our healers... I don't think so. Although no cat has even asked... I know its a bit sticky I suppose with kits in our clan. Our leader she well she forbids just about any forbidden kind of relationships. Especially outside clan relations. However there have been a few rare cases." Stintspeckle explained. Sensing that Swanflight was a bit embarrassed, the black ticked tabby gave the other cat a small comforting nudge. "It's okay I promise." he meowed, trying to reassure them.

Tipcatcher| Male | 30 moons | Spy | Tagged: Open

Strawberryseed | Female | 16 moons | Assassin | Tagged: Thistlepaw (Outback Runners)
Seeing Thistlepaw relax a bit more made the flame colored molly smile largely once more. She knew he would thrive well where ever he ended up, being happy he found a place he felt comfortable. "That's good to hear. As for our family you know mother, Mallowleaf, and Waxwing would be happy to know your doing well. I hope maybe another time you could maybe face them once again. You know maybe after you gained your confidence back and are able too." Strawberryseed meowed.

CHESSCLAN !!

Richterstar | Tom - King - 76 Moons - Tagged: Open

Richterstar's eyes widened, and he blinked away a mist of tears that quickly began to form. After the heartache surrounding his family, here was a seemingly healthy daughter standing right in front of him. It was everything he needed, and he smiled somberly. "I'm your father," he murmured quietly, the words rolling of his tongue as he digested what they meant. He knew that Deerdash was the mother of Conifèrescreech, but it was amazing to him that there was at least one more kit out there. "How many littermates to you have? Other than Conifèrescreech, of course," he purred, stumbling over his words slightly. He was nervous, nearly shaking, but he was excited to finally meet another of his numerous kits.

Faondapple | Molly - Healer - 35 Moons - Tagged: Bramblinglight (SeaClan)

Faondapple smiled and reached out as Bramblinglight began to muddy her words and try to rephrase what she had said. "I get what you mean. I was around for Quickcough, but I was just a warrior apprentice at that time. I remember fearing for my life, and I would never willingly have put myself in Wolfwhiskers's position during that time. The stress wore him down to the point of breaking, as any terrible event like that would," she shuddered lightly. "I would never wish such kinds of things upon my own Clan, but sometimes I want a way to prove myself by saving the Clan from something terrible. The way you're feeling is completely normal, even if a cat may think you strange for it," she chuckled lightly. She remembered the mourning wails that filled the camp at all hours of the day during the quickcough outbreak, and she remembered not being allowed to leave Sweethen's sight in fear that she would catch the disease. Yet, she wanted to do something amazing with her paws. She wanted to save a life that might've been considered too far gone for saving. She wanted to prove to every cat that she was a worthwhile healer.

Rootwake | Molly - Healer - 19 Moons - Tagged: Lycheewings (QuickClan)

Rootwake shook her head sadly. She had lost contact with Eagle when the Neighborhood disbanded, but she had embraced her family with Lichenmurmur and Visontwist since then. Her heart warmed as Lycheewings spoke kind words about Lichenmurmur. "She never lets the little thing out of her site. She's taken to calling it Squeaks," she chuckled, ducking her head as she laughed at her sister. Only Lichenmurmur would be the one to try to hunt and mouse and ultimately make it a pet. Fondness for her sister made her heart swell with joy, and she turned her attention back to Lycheewings. "Family is one of the few things I hold dear to my heart. A cat who does not respect the ones they consider family worry me," she murmured. The way that some of her clanmates acted, keeping their noses in the air and avoiding the ones they love, make her feel like a family could fall apart at the drop of a leaf.

Tourbillonpelt | Tom - Cavalier - 67 Moons - Tagged: Manateecall (SwiftClan) & Figspots (Highgarden)

Tourbillonpelt nodded as Manateecall explained a few of the perks of splitting the Clan into multiple camps. If ChessClan continued growing at this rate, he might need to suggest such a thing to Richterstar. He quickly dismissed the thought, though, knowing that the cats of ChessClan are too close to ever be willing to separate into more than one camp. Family ties ran deep, and many of the first kits were now well into adulthood and raising their own families. "I don't think any cat could imagine themselves as a Clan cat before they become one," he murmured. The conversation continued without him as he lost himself in thought, wondering what life in SwiftClan could ever possibly be like. He finally came back to the present when Figspots asked Manateecall if he would ever consider becoming a leader or deputy. "I'd never be able to do it, with that many cats looking up to me. Your leader has to be stressed beyond belief," he murmured, a slight joke on the edge of his voice.


OUTBACK RUNNERS !!

Tombecho | Non-binary - Herbalist - 79 Moons - Tagged: Dustleaf (ForestClan)

As Dustleaf spoke of pairs in her Clan, Tombecho smiled thoughtfully. When the molly wished good upon the Outback Runners, they dipped their head respectfully. "A family, led by their mother, joined us a few seasons ago. Wolverinedapple tries so hard to keep her kits together, and I can tell she's so terrified that our Clan will dissolve like their previous one did. Having to live with that constant worry would take me beyond where I could function," they murmured gently. Wolverinedapple was so strong, and yet Tombecho was able to see past their stony exterior and into their fear-filled heart.

Thistlepaw | Tom - Trainee - 14 Moons - Tagged: Strawberryseed (IvyClan)

Thistlepaw took a deep breath and nodded, holding himself steady so as not to flinch anytime he heard a full name. They had done what he couldn't, and he knew it would take him a long time until he was ready to embrace his past. He hadn't even shared his story with any cat in the Outback Runners, though most knew he carried a dark secret behind his quietness. Maybe one day he could open up and allow himself to grow past his history, but that day was not today. "Are things in IvyClan going well?" he asked. He knew that most Clans go through long spells of trouble, and he was worried about his former home. He would always care for the Clan, even if he can never go back. He slowly lifted his eyes until he managed to hold Strawberryseed's gaze for a few seconds, but he quickly let it fall again. He wanted to return home and tell a cat about his struggles, but he was just not that close to any cat yet. "I'm making friends," he lied, trying to hide the quiver in his voice. He felt terrible about lying to Strawberryseed, but he wanted to make it known that he was doing okay in his new home.


AVIARYCLAN !!

Cooper | Tom - Eagle - 83 Moons - Tagged: Gingerspring (AuroraClan)

Cooper smiled as Gingerspring seemed to brush quickly around her past. "Oh, your Clan is named after the northern lights? That is wonderful. Do you live in an area where they are visible?" he purred, becoming audibly and visibly excited at the idea. He longed for the nights he had spent watching the lights dance across the sky, and the thought of a Clan that saw them constantly thrilled him.

Crossbill | Tom - Sparrow - 65 Moons - Tagged: Nightwing (ShiningClan)


Crossbill dipped his head respectfully when Nightwing introduced himself. "My Clan splits the average population into Sparrows and Avocets. We have separate dens and patrol separately, but we both hunt and fight. The only difference is that Sparrows are males and Avocets are females. Perhaps Sparrows are more common to use brute force and strength while Avocets are more likely to use stealth and speed, but that falls to the distinction that the female cats are often thinner and carry muscle differently," he meowed. He knew that Sparrows were muscular, but muscle on an Avocet lended a hand to their speed and ability to use a larger cat's size against them. "It is a tradition that is as old as AviaryClan, and no cat is inclined to change it. On the topic of ShiningClan, that's a rather unusual name for a Clan. Is it always sunny in your territory?" he mused.



THE ORDER OF THE HYENA !!

Ostrich's Cry | Molly - Herbalist - 61 Moons - Tagged: Morninglight (TundraClan)

Ostrich's Cry chuckled lightly as Morninglight expressed her reluctance to pull Batpaw out of his rigorous training. Ostrich's Cry held no such qualms and knew she would always be willing to use her authority to take an apprentice for a sunrise or two of essential herb training. "I'm the only healer in my Clan, but we're a small enough Clan that we can survive with just me. I'm just wanting to share all of my knowledge before I'm considered too old to be of use," she chuckled. She cast a quick glance over her shoulder, wondering where Aardwolf's Mane had gotten off to. "You know how the young cats are, thinking you're old and out of date once you're eighty or so moons. I don't want to be considered the batty old healer," she rolled her eyes while stretching out one of her back legs. It gave a satisfying pop and she settled back into a comfortable sitting position.

Aardwolf's Mane | Molly - The Shadow - 38 Moons - Tagged: Foxhop (WheatClan)


Aardwolf's Mane was confused by Foxhop's energy. She'd never met a cat with endless amounts of energy that could infect the ones around them. "They're not dangerous in the slightest. They're very flighty creatures, but they are incredibly intelligent to be able to break into the fortress that is a termite mound. It takes aardvarks the brute force of their huge claws, but an aardwolf uses their cunning," she chuckled. As he moved on to asking about her spy work, she chose to bite her tongue and reveal as little about her position as possible. "There's no need to apologize, young one," she meowed, biting her tongue as she realized he was likely older than her. She often felt as old as the sky from the level of wisdom she held in her position, and it often came back to bite her when she assumed a cat was younger than her. "It's my first Gathering too, and every cat deserves to be excited about such a thing. It's strange being around so many cats, but you have to know when to pull back on the questions. As it is, you seem to be doing a fine job with that," she meowed.

Cats attending

Laurelstar - leader - 50 moons - open

Having survived her first gathering, Laurelstar sat among the leaders with a little more confidence. At least she knew what to expect this time. The unknown tension in her clan seemed to at least not have followed her here. Still, there was a strange air to her group, as if everyone came with some sort of mission in mind.

Fernstep - Deputy - 39 moons - wheatclan - Twigchatcher

Fernstep decided sitting through her first gathering as deputy wasn't the way to go. She needed to make an impression, on her clan, her leader, or other deputies, whatever it was she needed to show. Of course who she would approach was itself a bit a mystery. She had no one she was suggested to. As her luck would be though, she didn’t seem to worry about finding anyone, as she walked right into another Tom. “Oh my goodness, I’m sorry!”

Creamfoot - med cat - 36 moons - see below
Dawnrush - Queen - 56 moons - Squirrelleaf - Highgarden

Creamfoot nodded along with Squirreleaf, he hated to see his own clannmate saddened. "Loss is a difficult part of life, but every pain we face leads down a path that allows us to grown, so that we can gives other the chance to grow with us." He paused for a moment, than nudged Dawnrush with his paw, "imagine if Brushfang was here with us, I'm sure he would be baffled.Obviously we should be soving this matter ourselves!" Dawnrush chuckled, starting to perk up, than quickly turned to Squirrelleaf. "His a very traditional old man, prides himself in it, but he does care so deeply for the clan, I don't think many understand that about him. some traditions do have their point after all."

Hyenapaw - med. app - 41 moons - see below
Pearpaw - med. app - 14 moons - Whiskered Away - Whetley

Hyenpaw had been switching between the topics of gatherings, and asking Pearpaw about her medical knowlodge since he was new to learning. Pearpaw knew what he was doing, trying to make a trade in information, trying to make her feel confident that she could teach him when he was knowledgeable himself, but it didn't make her less nervous herself. She was the first to notice the kit approaching them and immediately was nervous, and she silently pointed her tail to the approaching cat to get Hyenapaws attention. He turned his head, and upon noticing the kitten his ears perked up. "Well hello young one! I haven't met many kittens at gatherings, this must be am exciting day for you!" Pearpaw merely nodded next to him. She had no clue what the best move was with a potentially lost kitten, she wasn't quiet and adult herself. Still, she listened intently, knowing that at any point she might be pulled into the conversation at any moment, she knew it was always best to be prepared.

Gingerspring - warrior - 41 moons - Cooper - Aviaryclan

"I do, or so I'm told! I've yet see it, but I hear it's beautiful.I've heard they've been used as a sign from the ancestors on occasion." She tried to imagine what these light looked like, and had to admit to herself she was hoping she would have the chance to see them soon, despite her friends negativity. "We live in ahh heavily forested area, but there's a clearing in out territory, just large enough for the sky to be easily visible."

Brushfire - warrior - 34 moons - The Fallen - Swanspiral

"Ah so its not just me cursed this gathering" Brushfire said with a laugh, not ready to discount the interaction yet. "Last gathering, I happened upon a little forbidden cross clan romance, and was hopping to get a little update on it, but I haven't been able to find the two. Hopefully that doesn't mean bad new for the pair." He questioned if his last statement was to much of a risk, as he had no clue how loyal the cat infant of him as over the code.

Snowbell- warrior - 32 moons - open - hoping to find someone who has spoken to starclan or is whatever like body they have

Cooper | Tom - Eagle - 83 Moons - Tagged: Gingerspring (AuroraClan)

Cooper was over the moon to hear that Gingerspring was likely to experience the northern lights for the first time soon. The way the blue, green, and purple hues danced and flashed across the sky was mesmerizing. The night Cooper had experienced the night had been a freak accident of nature, or so Pewee claimed. "When I was living just outside of the territory I now live in, I saw the lights once. I was barely awake, and then the sky suddenly lit up. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and I sat and stared at the sky for hours. When I told my mate, Pewee, about it, she told me it would never happen again. It had never happened that far south before, and she said it was likely something the twolegs did. I don't believe her, though. I swear our ancestors were smiling at us, choosing to show us the wonderful display as a sign of their happiness with the way Pewee had reconstructed AviaryClan. I would do just about anything to see the sky light up again, which is why I refuse to break any of the rules outlined to us by our ancestors. Perhaps, if we can make them as happy as they were that night, they will grace us with the northern lights again," he purred contentedly. His tail curled with delight as he reminisced about that day. He had a strong faith in the ancestors, perhaps even stronger than Pewee, and he believed nearly everything he saw was a sign from them. If a piece of prey was rotting, then they were displeased. If there was a sunny day that wasn't too hot, they were happy. He knew that he got on Pewee's nerves with his constant discussions about what his ancestors had told him through the Cooper's Hawk, but he conversed with his Soul Bird nearly every day. He knew that one day, his soul and knowledge and wisdom would be housed inside of the same Cooper's Hawk, along with generations of other Coopers. He shook his head and smiled at Gingerspring gently. "I cannot wait until you get to experience the lights for the first time. It is truly a life-changing experience," he murmured softly.
