CHESSCLAN !!

WALNUTCHIN | 39 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: BLUEBERRY


Walnutchin spotted a tom who was talking to a molly, and she took a deep breath before approaching him. "Hello, there! I'm Walnutchin of ChessClan," she chirped brightly, a smile brightening her face. She hoped it wasn't too much; perhaps she was acting a little too friendly. She swallowed nervously, lowering her smile but trying to keep her eyes bright so that she seemed energetic and engaged. Conversations were just hard sometimes, particularly when she didn't know the other cat. Just how was she supposed to act? Aloèsdance was the only cat she was truly comfortable with, able to simply be herself with no extra mask or personality. She just wished for her nest and good night's rest.


WOLFCHILL | 41 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: WRENSPARK

Wrenspark's sudden warmness was slightly off-putting to Wolfchill, but she was unable to stop herself from smiling and sitting across from him. "I'm Wolfchill, a warrior of ChessClan. It's lovely to meet you too," she purred, forgetting about her kits for a moment. Wrenspark seemed happy to be here, but she could see the pride pouring off of him at the moment he mentioned his Clan. "I can't say I've ever heard of SquidClan, it's quite an unusual name," she meowed after pausing for a few seconds to make sure she had truly never heard of it.

FREUXFRECKLE | 63 | TOM | WARRIOR | TAGGED: LIEVRESHELL


Freuxfreckle's eyes raked over jumpy Walnutchin and wary Wolfchill, his former deputy instincts kicking in as he took a deep breath. "We will be calm and collected, and not let our recent... troubles get in our way of having fun. If I hear of either of you picking fights tonight, I will drag you back to Richterstar by your tails," he meowed gently, his voice growing harsh as he threatened his clanmates. He dipped his head as both Walnutchin and Wolfchill peeled off, and he turned to survey the Gathering when a familiar pelt caught his eye. "Lievreshell?" he called, breathless as he caught sight of a tom who had disappeared moons ago.

DIPPERDUO | 92 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: OPEN


Dipperduo pressed her nose gently to Elmspeckle's head before whispering a few encouraging words into the nervous young molly's ear. "You'll be fine, just find a cat who looks to be about your age and introduce yourself," she purred gently, her voice raspy and crackly after the recent cold she'd been fighting off. After seeing the young molly off, she turned and bedded down. Her old joints ached so much that she was willing to wait for some cat to approach her.


ELMSPECKLE | 18 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: OPEN


Elmspeckle swayed from paw to paw as she shuddered at the thought of approaching such a large group of cats. She was taking deep breaths to calm herself, but she felt a soft pelt brush against her shoulder. She leaned into Dipperduo's embrace lovingly, appreciating just how much a mother figure this older molly had always been to her. She flinched at the raspiness of her voice, but she knew it was just from a recent chest cold. Elmspeckle's eyes shone as she turned and began to seek out a cat to approach.


AVIARYCLAN !!

BONAPARTE | 58 | TOM | GUARD | TAGGED: NETHERSTAR

Bonaparte was shocked by the molly's sudden friendliness towards him, and he took a few seconds to get over his flustered state. "It is, indeed. However, I don't think I've ever heard any of my clanmates describe the scent of your Clan before," he meowed, remembering his friend drilling him on all the Clans she had encountered at prior Gatherings. He spent several moments digging through her descriptions of certain scents, but nothing quite fit this strange molly. "My name is Bonaparte, and I'm a guard in AviaryClan," he meowed, realizing he should probably introduce himself.

ROBIN | 73 | MOLLY | HEALER | TAGGED: AUTUMNSONG


Robin's entire body shook as she settled against a tree. She still was not over Sapsucker's death, and the memory of the fire still haunted her every waking thought. Even with the arrival of Snowy Owl, Robin hadn't practiced any healing since the news broke through her wall of concentration. She remembered the sobbing that had completely shaken her body, but now it was just a distant memory. Everything was dulled, although it was growing brighter with each day that passed. With this being her first personal experience with grief, it was as if the world had ended and began again but not taken her with it. After a few calming breaths, she lifted her teary eyes and began to inspect the nearby healers.


ORDER OF THE HYENA !!

MINNOW'S MUMBLE | 33 | TOM | WARRIOR | TAGGED: OPEN


Minnow's Mumble anxiously padded around the Gathering, seeking out a cat to talk to.


OTTER | 8 | MOLLY | APPRENTICE | TAGGED: OPEN


Otter was running in circles, spinning from cat to cat in the hopes of finding a conversation. She was oh so excited to be here that she couldn't sit still.

HIDDEN STRIKE

Flickering [Flames that Solely Kill] | Trans Tom [littleminicooper/Truffleclan, Oakstar]

Yawning, the male had been walking for a long time. A pull tugged him forward, constricting around his paws and tail as if a snake was encouraging him forward. Whenever he had turned right or left, he had felt a stronger tug to get him 'right on track.' He had become very curious as to where his ancestors were leading him; was it Attoike, Prince, or Zodiac doing this? It felt larger, but not nearly as large as Zodiac, but not as small as Prince. Maybe it was Attoike? It would make sense, they commonly warned or guided the group.

As he came across the Gathering, a strong scent of cats hit his nose. Curious, he stepped forward and looked around the clearing. Sniffing curiously, they opened their mouth to try and scent out anything familiar. Nothing. No rainforest scents or anything. A few cats brushed past him, which caused the considerable cat to sniff in annoyance. His floppy ears flicked, as his fanged mouth closed. Tail flicking gently, he found his paws moving forward. Finding a worthy cat, the tom strutted forward.

"Greetings. Can you inform me of what this place is?" his head tipped to the side. "My name is Flickering Flames that Solely Kill, but by of course, you may call me Flickering." He dipped his head respectfully, looking at the other. Most likely smaller, then himself. "And, of course, may I know your name?" His head, now raised to its full height, tipped. "You seem interesting."

Light [That Corrupts Feverishly] | Cisgender Tom [selkirks/Squidclan, Sootblotch]

Walking forwards with his Oakwood Venom, the Oakwood couldn't help but be amused as his Oakwood Venom walked off. Left to his own devices, he trotted off calmly. However, a yellow-eyed classic tabby, similar to himself, caught his eye. Ears pricked, their long fluffy tail flicked. Strutting towards the other, the huge tail behind them raised confidently. "Greetings. I go by Light. You?" his head tipped, flicking his ears. The general similarities of the other..intrigued Light. The same tabby type, roughly similar tail stripes. However, his own tabby 'design' was much more different. Plus, his fur was much longer and his eyes were a piercing blue compared to the other's calmer yellow tone.

After being introduced, Light would calmly tip a severely scarred head. Sitting promptly, the scarred tail wrapped around his paws, including the torn one. "Wonderful to meet you. I assume this is some type of gathering for felines like ourselves?" he raised a black paw, waving in a half-circle. It was interesting, truly, the journey they had made. How Flickering had insisted to go onwards in a straight line and to even continue when the scent of cats came close. Looking about, he could see cats of all coat colorings. White, gray, black, cinnamon, amber, a mix of them- all different fur types, too. Randomly, he caught sight of Flickering a bit away, looking down at another cat. A bit amused, he looked back towards this new cat. He'd be rather patient- as he was curious and in need of answers.

Almond [Laughing Almond Joy] | Trans Tom [smallfox/Articclan, Frostgaze]
He sighed at the first statement. "I get the names mixed up, I'm still new to my group," he tried to explain, shrugging. "I prefer Almond anyway." He let his gaze meet the others, albeit a bit embarrassed, but overall curiosity flushed his face. He had yet to hear of Articclan, as far as he could be aware of, and the name was interesting.

"No, it's rather new as far as I'm concerned," they stated calmly. He didn't exactly..care if the other cat tried to take advantage of it. Honestly, the clan was very strong for its newness and would probably be underestimated. "We've grown quite a population in just three moons!" he stated, a bit proud of the achievement. "I was one of the first. I came from Venusclan, my name there was Almondjoy- not sure where that clan is now." He shrugged with a frown.

"Thats good," he replied to the usual 'lots of prey' talk. "Same for us, our serpent ancestors have blessed the area with plenty of prey, we've stocked up the stores pretty high so far," they smiled at the question. "Nothing has been of distress yet, so that's good!" He tipped his head to refer the 'stage' back to Frostgaze, not noticing that she was distracted.

Dandelionstar - Tom / Leader / Tags: Ebonystar (BilberryClan, Bluey)
Dandelionstar wasn't leading his clan to the gathering, instead, he stayed mostly to the back of the group as Lavendereyes led the way. He knew his clanmates were worried for them, but it was frustrating how they wouldn't just accept 'I'm fine' for an answer. Quietly, ears flat against his head, he went to leave into the crowd, before being interrupted by Lavendereyes.

"I'm fine." He grumbled, voice barely audible, and kept moving, patience decreasing with every step. He soon noticed another cat, maybe another leader? The cat might be able to understand his struggles if they were one. Flicking an ear, he made himself look a little more friendly before approaching them. "Hey, I'm Dandelionstar of ArcticClan, you?" He mewed, sitting down next to them.

Lavendereyes - She-cat / Deputy / Tags: Pinefoot (SeaClan, winter solstice.)

Lavendereyes entered the Gathering. Dandelionstar didn't lead them, and she wondered, briefly, if something was wrong. She decided the tom probably just wanted to be alone at the moment and slowed down to watch her clan split up amongst the crowd. She wondered how many had friends in other clans, probably very few seeing at the last time she and her clan went to a Gathering, not many came with them, and most of their clanmates hadn't even been with them at the time.

She muttered quiet, caring things to her children and watched as they padded away. She glanced at Dandelionstar for a moment, his gaze was darkened. "So, we haven't been to a Gathering in awhile..?" She mewed, wanting to start a conversation to light up the mood, but she was met with a grumble and the tom pushed past her, into the crowd. "Oh." She sighed, before leaving to find someone else to talk to.

She didn't exactly know where all the deputies hung out, especially since the last time she went, Ghostfall was the acting deputy. Lavendereyes found herself quickly distracted, but tried to stay calm and not get overwhelmed by the amount of cats in the same place.

Soon, she noticed a black tabby tom with a white underbelly, who seemed to not be talking to anyone, yet. She made her way up to the tom, with the friendliest smile she could muster. "Hi, my name's Lavendereyes, deputy of ArcticClan, who might you be?" She purred.

Frostgaze - She-cat / Medicine cat / Tags: Almond (Hidden Strike, Skarrred)
Frostgaze wasn't too good at small talk, that was soon to be made clear when the conversation started slowing down and she had to snap back to reality, blinking. "Ah... That's good." She mewed slowly, flicking her tail from side-to-side, looking down at her paws. "So uh..." She seemed to be thinking pretty hard about choosing a topic. "So tell me about Hidden Strike, you mentioned snake ancestors? That's ah... a new one." She smiled, looking up, hoping she didn't offend him.

Ghostfall - Tom / Warrior / Tags: Sandbrush (AuroraClan, Red weasel)
Ghostfall was with his two sons, Whitepaw and Coalpaw, as he made his way to the Gathering. He didn't really know where Shadepaw was, though. As everyone was splitting up, he gave his two sons a quick lick on their head before pushing forwards into the crowd, looking around at the moonlit clearing. He soon found himself with cats that were more around his age. Sitting down in that spot for a bit, he started a little grooming session, flattening spots of fluffed up fur and making himself a little more presentable.

He turned his head slightly to the cat that was suddenly sitting next to him. He didn't want to give them any attention, just in case they didn't want to have a conversation, and was prepared to sit quietly next to them for the rest of the night. He jumped as the other cat's tail hit him, Ghostfall shuffled to the side a little. "Hey-" He was probably about to gnaw their ears off below they explained themselves. "Mm, it's fine. I'm Ghostfall of ArcticClan, by the way. Who're you?" He asked, twisting his body around so he could neaten up parts of his fur that had puffed up when he was spooked.

truffleclan
Oakstar | tom| leader | Flickering (hidden strike, A Wolf)
Oakstar had been watching his mate lovingly as she conversed with other medicine cats when a cat walked up to him. He tore his gaze from her and dip his head once in greeting. “Ah, hello, Flickering. You have found yourself at the gathering!” Oakstar said enthusiastically. “Once a moon on the full moon, we clans all gather here. We can meet up with friends from outside the clans and share clan news! It’s quite fun!” He tried to summarize as best as possible, he could go on forever about his gathering adventures. “Before I get too far ahead of myself, I am Oakstar! I am the leader of Truffleclan. It’s very nice to meet your acquaintance!”

Moonriver | tom | deputy | OPEN

Autumnsong | Molly | med cat | Robin (sharpie)
Autumnsong was mingling around with her fellow medicine cats. There was always much to chat about regarding the heath of many of the clans. She stopped in front of a cat she had never introduced herself to. “Hello there.” Autumnsong noted this cat didn’t seem too thrilled, but she wouldn’t pry. “I’m Autumnsong. I don’t believe we’ve met before. I am Truffleclan’s medicine cat.”

the royal court
Honey | Molly | Queen (leader) | Northstar (Frisco)
Honey looked at the cat who surprisingly looked a lot like her. She had heard about these great gatherings all her life, but her father would never let the Court come. When she took over after his tyranny, Honey knew she would do anything to make her clan more of an ally than an enemy. “Hello, Northstar. Very charmed to meet you.” She wasn’t sure if the customs when talking to cats outside her Court. There is no cat higher than her in the Royal Court, not even king. She had the royal bloodline. “I am Queen Honey, of the Royal Court.”

Panther| Tom | Physician (med cat) |Faded Moth (Pinyonclan)
Panther sat calmly, observing the happenings of the great gathering. He and his clan were making their first appearance. So many new scents wafted his way, but one seemed to be getting closer. “Hello.” He nodded politely, when the cat was close. “I’m Panther, The Royal Court’s physician.”

Caveclan

Harespring is tagged with Applestar

Morningstar had not been well enough to attend the gathering but as weak as he was, he’d insisted that Caveclan attend the gathering with Harespring leading them. Cloudpool and a couple of the senior warriors knew how serious the illness was but all Harespring had told the clan was that Morningstar needed to rest.

Cloudpool is tagged with open

Cloudpool had heavily debated about attending this moon’s gathering when Morningstar lay sick in his den. In truth, the medicine would’ve preferred staying with their leader but he hadn’t felt like Morningstar was joining Starclan that evening and Rowanfur was there to watch over her mate. She’d send their fastest apprentice, Alderpaw to fetch him if needed but Cloudpool regretted that he didn’t currently have an apprentice who could’ve gone to the gathering in his place. It looked like Mosskit might become the perfect apprentice but she was still too young to become an apprentice. Even if she was old enough, Cloudpool wouldn’t have wanted to send her to her first gathering alone. He sighed to himself, shaking his head. In the end, Cloudpool realized that Harespring needed him more. Morningstar’s condition wasn’t dire and Harespring needed his support. The deputy presented as calm and confident but the conversation that they’d had, along with Woolyfur, showed that in reality, Harespring was nervous and anxious, looking to the more experienced Woolyfur and Cloudpool, who’d held his position of authority for a few moons longer. The conversation seemed to have reassured Harespring but Cloudpool suspected his presence would help him calmer as well, particularly since they’d brought such a small party.

Tigerjaws is tagged with Splashpaw, Adderstream fam

Tigerjaws didn’t think they’d brought a smaller group of cats ever before. That combined with Morningstar laying sick at camp was odd and unsettling to the young warrior. Rowanfur, his former mentor, had advised him that everything would be alright but with so few warriors attending, to keep an especially close eye on Splashpaw and Robinpaw. Silvernose had said how Robinpaw was responsible more than once so Tigerjaws wasn’t too worried about the tortoiseshell. It was Splashpaw he was more concerned with. Already, the brown and white tabby had completely ignored his warning to stay together. Noting Robinpaw’s position, he headed after his wayward apprentice.

Splashpaw is tagged with Tigerjaws, Adderstream fam

The serious mood of some of her clanmates seemed to have completely skipped over the brown and white tabby apprentice who gazed around the mass of cats with bright, eager green eyes. “I’m going to go find someone to talk to! See you later Robinpaw!” Ignoring the tortoiseshell’s protest, Splashpaw dived enthusiastically into the crowd, searching for another apprentice to speak too.

Robinpaw is tagged with Lunepaw (Seaclan)

“We were supposed to stay together!” Robinpaw grumbled to herself, flashing a half annoyed glance in the direction Splashpaw had disappeared. She couldn’t even see Splashpaw anymore now that the crowd had hidden her from view. With a frustrated sigh, the tortoiseshell leaned back onto her back paws, hoping to spot either Splashpaw or Tigerjaws nearby. Hopefully, Splashpaw wouldn’t get her into any trouble.

Pinyonclan

Sagestar is tagged Raggedclaw(Geminiclan) and Eelstar(Tidalclan)

“Nice to meet you both.” Sagestar said, tilting her head curiously at the pair. Was this what all the leaders were like? Starclan had explained to her that leaders took the suffix star to signal their rank but Raggedclaw seemed as if it was not a big deal for him. The second cat, Eelstar, well, Sagestar had thought they’d been equally nervous but perhaps the tabby was even more nervous judging by the way he spoke. “Is it a lot of cats compared to normal? This is my clan’s first gathering.” Sagestar admitted, wondering for a moment if she should’ve kept that information back. With so many older, established clans, Pinyonclan seemed weak in comparison. She hesitated before continuing, “I wasn’t sure if we should even come so soon, we’ve only been a clan a couple moons but Fadedmoth, our medicine cat, thought it would be a good idea.” Sagestar paused and then hastily added, “We’ve grown quite a bit in our short time as a clan though.” Eelstar’s question made her blink slowly, considering. “I think the stars themselves are the same. But our ancestors? They’re different, they must be.” Sagestar replied, thinking back to when she was given her nine lives. The starry cats who’d given her lives had said that they’d been the ancestors of the Pinyonclan from the past. A Pinyonclan before she was tasked with building up the clan.

Fadedmoth is tagged with Panther(Royal Court)

The gray and white molly broke off humming in favor of focusing on the colorpoint tom curiously. “Hello,” Fadedmoth mewed, returning his nod with a friendly nod of her own. “I’m Fadedmoth, Pinyonclan’s medicine cat.” Her ears angled towards him, noting that he hadn’t taken a clan name, keeping his name to what Fadedmoth had thought was a loner or kittypet name. Maybe not though, Fadedmoth realized, puzzled. “Physician must be your clan’s word for a medicine cat?” She guessed aloud. “The Royal Court?’

Frostflower is tagged with Teddybear(Tundraclan)

Looking at the cat, on closer inspection, Frostflower was startled to realize that the molly was unique in more than just her short stature but her eyes as well. The strangely shaped pupils were of slight concern but as Teddybear seemed perfectly able to see, Frostflower relaxed, thinking of Sootstorm back at camp. The tom’s obvious lack of a tail did not hinder him and Teddybear’s situation seemed to be rather similar, perhaps. Either way, Frostflower was not going to say anything. It was rude for a cat to bring up odd features of a cat and Frostflower didn’t want to scare her possible new friend off. “Oh! It’s a type of pine tree that grows in our territory. It’s very common where we live.” Frostflower explained. “Blueberry,” She paused to look at the blue smoke tom nearby and added, “He used to live with a twoleg before we joined Pinyonclan. He told us that some of the birds in the area were also named after the trees. Pinyon jays. Apparently his twolegs were very interested in nature and animals so he picked up on the occasional word.” Frostflower explained. “I’m sorry to say I haven’t heard of your clan either, we're new so we are unfamiliar with all the clans actually. Tundraclan right?”

Blueberry is tagged with Walnutchin(Chessclan)

The occasional glance over at Frostflower reassured the tom that she was fine and had even found someone to speak to. Her companion had taken him off guard with her apprentice and after a beat, Blueberry shrugged, head ducking to smooth out his chest fur. Every cat looked different and he’d certainly seen stranger as a former kittypet. The energetic, bright mew of the molly who approached startled him, and the tom had to struggle to hold back his hiss. Blueberry eyed her silently for a moment, processing Walnutchin’s nervousness with an inward sigh. He always seemed to attract nervous cats, even with his quiet, gruff exterior. Taking note her anxiety, Blueberry angled his ears towards her, trying to appear a bit more friendly than he knew he came off sometimes. “Hello, I am Blueberry. I’m from Pinyonclan.” He introduced himself, dipping his head respectfully to the she-cat. “You must be a warrior as well?”

CHESSCLAN !!

WALNUTCHIN | 39 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: BLUEBERRY

Walnutchin had to stop herself from visibly flinching at Blueberry's initial reaction, and her heart continued to hammer against her chest as he seemed to calm down and settle into a companionable appearance. She couldn't say that she'd ever heard of PinyonClan, so she filed the information away in the back corner of her mind. "Yes! I'm guessing the basics of our Clans don't differ all that much," she meowed, wondering if that was the right thing to say.

WOLFCHILL | 41 | MOLLY | WARRIOR | TAGGED: WRENSPARK


Wrenspark's sudden warmness was slightly off-putting to Wolfchill, but she was unable to stop herself from smiling and sitting across from him. "I'm Wolfchill, a warrior of ChessClan.

ROBIN | 73 | MOLLY | HEALER | TAGGED: AUTUMNSONG

Robin was pulled from her half-zoned-out state as Autumnsong approached her, and she pulled a small smile from the depths of her mind. "I'm Robin, healer of AviaryClan," she meowed, suddenly pausing and realizing no cat had blatantly referred to their Clan as AviaryClan since the fire. Would they choose a new name whenever they decided to settle? Worry spiked through her as she realized she may have to relearn all of the Clan. "I also do not believe we've met before. The last Gathering I attended was so many moons ago," she sighed, remembering how wonderful of a night it had been.

Ebonystar | leader | 84 moons | ♀ | tags: Dandelionstar (arcticclan)
“Oh, I’m Ebonystar, leader of BilberryClan.” she nodded to the tom. “It’s nice to meet the leader of our bordering clan.” Ebonystar felt a prick of anxiety while she spoke to this cat, she could never be too sure if she could trust somebody. It wasn’t usual for her to be speaking with somebody at a gathering, normally she stood awkwardly towards the outskirts, observing her cats.

Butterflynose | deputy | 68 moons | ♀ | tags: open
Butterflynose glanced at the tom speaking with Ebonystar before leaving the two leaders to speak. She padded on for a moment until she spotted a new place to sit. Upon sitting down Butterflynose watched her leader, Ebonystar wasn’t the most trusting of cats and was always suspecting someone of something, Butterflynose knew she just wanted to protect her clan and she admired Ebonystar for how much she cared for them.

Sapphirestream | medicine cat | 18 moons | ♀ | tags: Celestialtrail (Tundraclan)
Sapphirestream trotted quickly into the clearing. This was her first gathering and she could barely contain her excitement. She pushed her way through crowds hoping to spot another medicine cat. Behind her walked Dahliapetal, her past mentor, he was glancing around too, perhaps looking for familiar cats. Just as she looked ahead again he called her name and Sapphirestream followed his ginger pelt to a young white tom. She sat beside Dahliapetal as he spoke with the tom.


Dahliapetal| medicine cat | 32 moons | ♂ | tags: Celestialtrail (Tundraclan)
Dahliapetal let Sapphirestream lead the way, she hadn’t seen so many unfamiliar cats before so he expected her to be excited. As he walked he looked around him, hoping to see someone he knew. After scanning the crowd his eyes set on a small white tom grooming himself, the cat looked somewhat familiar so Dahliapetal turned to approach him “Sapphirestream come with me” He called out to the molly ahead of him. After getting closer he remembered this was one of the cats he met the previous gathering. “Celestialtrail? Hi, we met last moon, I’m Dahliapetal in case you have forgotten.”



Briarrose | warrior | 26 moons | ♀ | tags: open
Briarrose padded into the gathering, she noticed her brother was by her side, his paws were brown with mud and his pelt had several leaves in it. She didn’t want to associate with him, she quickly walked away.

Stubbyhead | warrior | 26 moons | ♂ | tags: open
Stubbyhead looked down at his dirty paws, he had jumped in puddles on his way to the gathering and rolled in a pile of leaves. He felt quite proud of himself and walked into the gathering holding his head high, maybe somebody would be impressed by his puddle jumping and want to be friends.

Nightember | warrior | 32 moons | ♀ | tags: Minnow’s Mumble (Order of the Hyena)
Nightember awkwardly passed crowds consumed in conversation, the wind ruffled her fur sending a shiver down her spine as she walked on, eventually she spotted a cat who wasn’t speaking to anyone yet “Hello I’m Nightember of BilberryClan” she mewed to the cat.


Featherpaw | apprentice | 13 moons | ♀ | tags: open
Featherpaw’s eyes flickered across the groups of cats and she leaned against her brother for comfort, Featherpaw wasn’t normally shy but the abundance of strangers frightened her.

Lichenpaw apprentice | 13 moons | ♂ | tags: open
Lichenpaw walked with his sister, most cats here looked much older than them, and they hoped to spike conversation with a cat their own age.

Applestar jumped onto the rock with practiced ease. He was getting old, but this was something he could still manage. He chuckled to himself; the day he was unable to do the jump was the day he retired. And probably the day Boulderpelt retired too. A gray tom stood nervously, looking around and the scent that floated Applestar's way felt familiar. Where did he know it from? As he neared the other tom, he reeled internally. Caveclan?

"I hope everything is well with you?" he inquired politely after catching the tom's eye. "I'm Applestar of Forestclan. And you are?"

Dustleaf | Molly | 71 moons | tagged: Dappledawn (Seaclan)

Dustleaf gave a little yawn as she reached the clearing. Ugh. So much to do, never enough time to do it. Well, she'd just go and sit by the medicine cats and see who came to talk to her. Although if there was a familiar face, maybe she'd go over to them. As she walked, her muzzle was tugged into a little smile. There were always new clans but also so many old and familiar ones. Scents washed over her as she recognized Chessclan, Caveclan (and by Starclan did that bring back memories), Swiftclan... Hmm. Interesting that Echoclan and Pineclan hadn't shown up yet, or maybe she just couldn't find them amidst the already-present bodies. Well, she could wait.

Adderstream | Tom | 71 moons | tagged: Tigerjaws, Splashpaw (Caveclan)

Adderstream padded into the Gathering, outwardly sedate but inwardly bursting with pride. His baby girls were about to take their assessments!! Kestrelclaw had declined to come, preferring instead to stay back and keep Adderstream's sisters company. He looked at his daughters, walking at his side. Copperpaw was whispering to Troutpaw about something, probably about the last time she'd come to the Gathering. He caught words here and there but mostly looked around for familiar faces. A flash of gray-brown fur caught his eye and he looked over. The swirled tabby was talking to a brown-and-white young cat, probably their apprentice.

"Girls," he said to his daughters, "I think I found someone you could talk to." Copperpaw perked up, Troutpaw close behind. The almost-warriors bounded off, eager to meet someone new while Adderstream followed at a slower pace. As he neared, he sniffed the air. The scent was almost familiar...? He'd find out soon enough.

"Hello," he said, greeting the mentor and apprentice pair. "I'm Adderstream of Forestclan. These two are my daughters, Copperpaw and Troutpaw." The apprentices preened. "And you?"

Northstar | leader | female | tags: Honey of The Royal Court (lottiecat) ✰

“A pleasure to make your acquaintance on this fine day of the gathering.” She smile and it looked genuine, which was rare in her case. North was very picky about her companions, but she seemed satisfied with the one she picked this time. Honey had the right title, her clan sounded distinguished and her manners were impeccable. She ticked all the boxes to make North interested in her and even show some signs of respect. “I don’t believe I’ve heard of your clan before. Can you tell me about it?”

Tealeaf | knight | female | tags: open ✰

The young knight looked anxious as she made her way across the sea of cats. That was nothing strange. Worried was her permanent state.

Woodkid | knight | male | tags: Edenhum of Wheatclan (Bugbelly) ✰

The tom seemed similarly surprised by the sudden interaction and stared at Edenhum with equally wide eyes. It seemed like he was slammed out of some deep thoughts. His long tail unfurled from around his paws and ears flickered, alerted. “Oh, no, I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. I would have moved, had I seen you.” He mimicked her and bowed his head slightly, but it was a little tilted to the side, as he kept looking at her.

Vie | knight | female | tags: Swanflight of Tundraclan (selkirks) ✰

Vie showed no signs of anxiety or shame. She seemed to enjoy the conversation. Despite being an adult cat whenever she spoke she gave off vibes of a bratty kid. It was apparent by her body language and the vocabulary she used. “Ya know, one o’them weed-collectors. I’m one too!” She sat down on her tailless behind and gave Swanflight a friendly paw-bump on the shoulder and a smile, as if that explained everything.

Netherstar | leader | female | tags: Bonaparte of Aviaryclan (chaoticcreativity) ✰

“Netherstar. I run the Minecats.” She smirked again and held out a paw in a greeting. “Yea, to tell you the truth it’s my first gathering too. I didn’t expect it would be yours as well. I just said that to start a conversation. I didn’t want to say”, she changed her voice to sound more high-pitched. “Oh hi, I’m new here. Just a silly little cat, trying to make friends, ahaha” Her voice returns to normal after she rolls her eyes. “I thought that would sound pretty lame. Anyway, nice to meet’cha.” Her tail wags softly from side to side. “What’s Aviaryclan like? The name has a nice ring to it.”

Nefari | healer | nonbinary | tags: open ✰

The young healer of Minecats followed close after their leader. He preferred to stick to his sciences rather than waste time on idle chatter, but he still smiled politely to cats that passed him by.

Caveclan

Harespring is tagged with Applestar

(it is now where I realize that I never fully finished his first post haha)

As he glanced around, an orange tabby tom caught his attention, along with his familiar scent. Forestclan! Their allies and a bordering clan they hadn’t seen in a while. Harespring’s blue eyes widened with surprise. Forestclan hadn’t even been at the gatherings lately and several of the Caveclanners had searched for their friends. Not that Caveclan themselves hadn’t gone through their own period of disappearance, Harespring thought, recalling his clan’s confusion at the new clan scents during their first gathering moons ago. This wasn’t just any Forestclan cat either, this was their leader! Harespring blinked, trying to recall their former leader, as the orange tabby, Applestar, was not a name he recognized. Wasn’t it… Honeystar before? What happened to the former Forestclan leader? Morningstar would sorely regret that he’d missed this gathering, Harespring thought to himself, trying to force back his flinch as he realized that the elderly Caveclan leader may not recover enough to attend another gathering. Dipping his head respectfully to the Forestclan leader, Harespring mewed, “I’m Harespring, deputy of Caveclan. I’m here in place of Morningstar.” The gray tom had decided with Cloudpool and Woolyfur beforehand that they shouldn’t mention too much about Morningstar’s illness but they’d known and trusted Forestclan for moons. Perhaps with their ally clan, it wouldn’t be a problem being a little more open with them.


Cloudpool is tagged with open

Cloudpool had heavily debated about attending this moon’s gathering when Morningstar lay sick in his den. In truth, the medicine would’ve preferred staying with their leader but he hadn’t felt like Morningstar was joining Starclan that evening and Rowanfur was there to watch over her mate. She’d send their fastest apprentice, Alderpaw to fetch him if needed but Cloudpool regretted that he didn’t currently have an apprentice who could’ve gone to the gathering in his place. It looked like Mosskit might become the perfect apprentice but she was still too young to become an apprentice. Even if she was old enough, Cloudpool wouldn’t have wanted to send her to her first gathering alone. He sighed to himself, shaking his head. In the end, Cloudpool realized that Harespring needed him more. Morningstar’s condition wasn’t dire and Harespring needed his support. The deputy presented as calm and confident but the conversation that they’d had, along with Woolyfur, showed that in reality, Harespring was nervous and anxious, looking to the more experienced Woolyfur and Cloudpool, who’d held his position of authority for a few moons longer. The conversation seemed to have reassured Harespring but Cloudpool suspected his presence would help him calmer as well, particularly since they’d brought such a small party.

Tigerjaws and Splashpaw are tagged with Adderstream fam

“Splashpaw!” Tigerjaws hissed, narrowing his eyes as his apprentice spun to face him, a flicker of guilt flashing across her gaze. “Didn’t I tell you something about the gathering earlier?” He asked sternly. Splashpaw ducked her head and mumbled, “Sorry Tigerjaws.” Before the classic tabby could say anything, he paused, eyes widening at a familiar scent. Looking up, his green eyes fell on the Forestclan trio with interest. Adderstream? He tipped his head to the side slightly, startled by the familiarity but not completely sure who this was. “Hello! I’m Splashpaw of Caveclan!” His apprentice took his moment of silence to introduce herself, looking eagerly at Copperpaw and Troutpaw. The pair looked barely older than herself. “Nice to meet you three. I’m Tigerjaws. Splashpaw here is my apprentice.” "Are you two going to be warriors soon?' Splashpaw asked eagerly.

Robinpaw is tagged with Lunepaw (Seaclan)

“We were supposed to stay together!” Robinpaw grumbled to herself, flashing a half annoyed glance in the direction Splashpaw had disappeared. She couldn’t even see Splashpaw anymore now that the crowd had hidden her from view. With a frustrated sigh, the tortoiseshell leaned back onto her back paws, hoping to spot either Splashpaw or Tigerjaws nearby. Hopefully, Splashpaw wouldn’t get her into any trouble.

Pinyonclan

Sagestar is tagged Raggedclaw(Geminiclan) and Eelstar(Tidalclan)

“Nice to meet you both.” Sagestar said, tilting her head curiously at the pair. Was this what all the leaders were like? Starclan had explained to her that leaders took the suffix star to signal their rank but Raggedclaw seemed as if it was not a big deal for him. The second cat, Eelstar, well, Sagestar had thought they’d been equally nervous but perhaps the tabby was even more nervous judging by the way he spoke. “Is it a lot of cats compared to normal? This is my clan’s first gathering.” Sagestar admitted, wondering for a moment if she should’ve kept that information back. With so many older, established clans, Pinyonclan seemed weak in comparison. She hesitated before continuing, “I wasn’t sure if we should even come so soon, we’ve only been a clan a couple moons but Fadedmoth, our medicine cat, thought it would be a good idea.” Sagestar paused and then hastily added, “We’ve grown quite a bit in our short time as a clan though.” Eelstar’s question made her blink slowly, considering. “I think the stars themselves are the same. But our ancestors? They’re different, they must be.” Sagestar replied, thinking back to when she was given her nine lives. The starry cats who’d given her lives had said that they’d been the ancestors of the Pinyonclan from the past. They were Pinyonclan before she was tasked with building up the clan.

Fadedmoth is tagged with Panther(Royal Court)

The gray and white molly broke off humming in favor of focusing on the colorpoint tom curiously. “Hello,” Fadedmoth mewed, returning his nod with a friendly nod of her own. “I’m Fadedmoth, Pinyonclan’s medicine cat.” Her ears angled towards him, noting that he hadn’t taken a clan name, keeping his name to what Fadedmoth had thought was a loner or kittypet name. Maybe not though, Fadedmoth realized, puzzled. “Physician must be your clan’s word for a medicine cat?” She guessed aloud. “The Royal Court?’

Frostflower is tagged with Teddybear(Tundraclan)

Looking at the cat, on closer inspection, Frostflower was startled to realize that the molly was unique in more than just her short stature but her eyes as well. The strangely shaped pupils were of slight concern but as Teddybear seemed perfectly able to see, Frostflower relaxed, thinking of Sootstorm back at camp. The tom’s obvious lack of a tail did not hinder him and Teddybear’s situation seemed to be rather similar, perhaps. Either way, Frostflower was not going to say anything. It was rude for a cat to bring up odd features of a cat and Frostflower didn’t want to scare her possible new friend off. “Oh! It’s a type of pine tree that grows in our territory. It’s very common where we live.” Frostflower explained. “Blueberry,” She paused to look at the blue smoke tom nearby and added, “He used to live with a twoleg before we joined Pinyonclan. He told us that some of the birds in the area were also named after the trees. Pinyon jays. Apparently his twolegs were very interested in nature and animals so he picked up on the occasional word.” Frostflower explained. “I’m sorry to say I haven’t heard of your clan either, we're new so we are unfamiliar with all the clans actually. Tundraclan right?”

Blueberry is tagged with Walnutchin(Chessclan)

As his companion, so did Blueberry in hopes she’d feel more comfortable around him. Making himself relax, he glanced over at Frostflower before settling to groom his fluffy coat, starting with washing his paws. “I suppose they aren’t very different.” He agreed. “What is Chessclan like? I haven’t heard of that word very often.” Blueberry had heard the word before in his former twoleg home but not commonly and he was unsure what it meant. Glancing at the molly, Blueberry thought she looked a little more comfortable but he would still try not to scare her off. He didn’t think it’d be hard, this cat was so jumpy after all, but his clanmates would not have approved. Besides, it wouldn’t be so bad to chat with her right?
