“That is right! I am no kit. I’m surprised you’ve had kits! How does any she cat put up with you?” He retorted back, hearing the toms sarcasm. “What rat rumor, I already know it’s false! Everything you say is fake!”
Vanillapaw was feeling down. This was his first gathering and he was 14 moons old and still an apprentice. He wondered if he should tell other cats he was only 12 moons and about to take his assessment. His clanmates had already dissipated, which was a disappointment. Blizzardpaw had come along and he was hoping to spend time with his denmate. The apprentice flicked his tail, a little irritated.
“Wow, that sure is a lot of cats.” He flicked his ears in surprise at the size of Dragonbreath’s clan. “I feel more fortunate that I have the opportunity to know all cats of truffleclan. How do you keep track of that?” Wolfsong asked, quite intrigued.
[/quote]The tortoiseshell she cat smiled. She was thoroughly enjoying the excitement of Gimli. "Oh! You only hunt? At least you can go on a boarder patrol sometimes! Our clan warriors do all duties, although some cats are known to be better hunters or better on patrols so our leader, Oakstar, will put them on respective patrols more often!" Willowbee's copper eyes shown, she loved talking about her clan and hearing how different they were. "I haven't quite found what I excel in yet. What do you like to hunt most? What is the territory like? We live in a meadow! There's a pond near our camp. I'd love to learn to fish one day!"




[/quote]Laurelstar nodded, trying to cover for the time she needed to think of how to respond. This was not place to challenge one’s contemporaries. She had to say something, or risk looking like a fool. Suddenly something came to her. “Speaking of weakness, that reminds of something I was thinking to inquire about to other leaders. Has your clan had trouble with certain apprentices struggling to to pass their assessment? We’ve had issues with a few in the past, and I’ve found it can be very discouraging for kits as they rise to become apprentices.” Laurelstar never intended to inquire on the topic, but knew she could make conversation with it.






dialga tom - 60 moons (leader) - tags; carrotstar
the large turkish van tom-cat made his way to the leaders ledge and found a seat for himself beside a shorthaired ginger-and-white tom who didn't appear to be in conversation with anyone else at the moment. finding it no better opportunity presenting itself, he turned his grass green gaze on the other tom and offered a small smile as he dipped his head in greeting. "hello there. i apologize for getting in late, is this seat taken? i am dialga, by the way, of pocketclan."
Jinx| warrior | female | tags: open ✰For the first time during a gathering the molly is not in a great mood. The crowds of cats do make her feel better, but she lacks her usual chipper.
Rainstorm | warrior | male | tags: Charstar of Chaosclan (Kazin) ✰Rainstorm sat down as he listened to the leader with curiosity, but didn’t last in this position for long. He kept standing up, walking a little to the side and then sitting back down or standing for a while. He apparently had trouble being still, but he listened with interest. “I’ve never heard of a clan with two leaders before, but I guess I don’t know too many and all of them pretty small. An interesting concept” he chuckles “but I don’t think my leader would approve.” Rain nodded his head. “It was. There was me and Seashell who survived. We managed to pull three more cats out of the water, but they were so weakened, they didn’t make it past a couple of days. Our medicine cat was gone and all of the herbs lost. There was nothing we could do.”

Marbledstar stretched her sore limbs as she crested the hill that peered out over the Gathering. Her eyes flickered back and forth between the countless cats that milled about the designated area, and she took a deep breath to still her nerves. It had been several moons since she had last attended a Gathering, and her heart raced at the thought of being surrounded by so many cats at once. With another deep breath, she ducked her head and entered the Gathering. She spotted one cat standing alone, and she approached him with a smile. "Hello! I'm Marbledstar," she introduced herself brightly.
Coaltide watched as Marbledstar readied herself and entered the Gathering almost unwillingly. He chuckled softly to himself as he watched her approach another cat, who he assumed to be another leader, and he then turned towards the Gathering. He padded across the uneven ground, pausing every few seconds to peer around for some cat to speak with. Finally, his gaze lingered on a cat who was staring at nothing in particular. "Hello, there. I'm Coaltide," he meowed gently, openly approaching the cat in a friendly manner.
Cockroachstar's large paws padded towards the gathering, and he flashed a loving smile towards Hollystar, "Have fun, my sunshine!" he rubbed his cheek against Hollystar's almost unbalancing his mate due to his size. The bengal laughed and nuzzled him, "You too! Don't stay up too late." she teased the maine coon.
Hollystar padded away from her clanmates, glancing around at the cats around her. Her tail flicked with excitement, looking forward to talking with other cats.
Tsunamibite was softly grooming himself, keeping one eye on the gathering at all times, making sure he didn't miss the chance to talk with any familiar friends.
Wisteriaflight yawned, his jaws gaping wide. His eyes began to water but he shook his head, looking tiredly around the gathering. The Birman sat down, looking around for any interesting cat to talk with.
Smokescreen padded a bit more slowly than her clanmates due to her old age. The Nebelung saw Cockroachstar and Hollystar walking together, loving purrs emitting from both, and she felt a pang in her heart, remembering how she had no cat to love. She sighed and padded towards the clearing, before joining a few other cats who were talking excitedly.

Ebonystar | leader | 63 moons | ♀ | tags: open
Ebonystar glanced around and noticed almost of her clan were now speaking with unknown cats, she saw this as a sign to do the same and she joined the large group. Ebonystar lingered around momentarily, her eyes flickering between cats.
Pinefur | warrior | 46 moons | ♀ | tags: open
Pinefur observed the cats around her, watching clans comfortably mingle. Instead of wandering about, she stayed put, not wanting to interrupt anyone but still hoping to be spoken to.
Cicelypaw | apprentice | 7 moons | ♀ | tags: Limepaw (SeaClan/winter solstice)
“It’s moorland, mostly. We have fields of heather, the purple flowers go on and on forever. And of course Bilberry bushes. There is a stream that runs across the territory too. Though I haven’t seen much of it” Cicelypaw answered. “I’ve heard of the seaside before, what’s it like?”
