LIGHTWALKERS!! ━━━━━━━━ ★ ━
╰➝ quick note! All cats use they/them pronouns and gender neutral language ^^

➤ METEORFALL ★ they/them ⋆ 40☾ ⋆ Light guide ⋆ tagged: Harestar [Caveclan]

Meteorfall's eyes widened picturing Caveclan's territory in their mind "It sounds lovely! I can imagine how good of a home it might be..." when hearing the tom's question Meteor fondly remembered the day they founded the Lightwalkers, they couldn't have picked a better place to claim as their territory "My territory is a grassland at north and a jungle at south! We have amazing flora and fauna in both sides, the beauty of living in the transition of two distinct biomes is that you get the best of both worlds..." the lynx point closed their eyes and took a deep breath with a wide smile, they could vividly picture the nights they've spent on the open fields, admiring the stars "We all sleep in a giant tree, strong branches, I think it's been alive for more than a century... One of my kits told me we should give it a name, as it's our source of security and comfort." Meteor was happy their companions had found comfort in that tree as well, it was bordering on being sacred for the group, and adding to that, the kits who were born or brought very young to the clan would be the first generation to grow up as Lightwalkers, who would be proud of their heritage as Lightwalkers "It's beautiful to be the one responsible for bringing your clanmates together, isn't it?"

➤ AURORAPOINTER ★ they/them ⋆ 44☾ ⋆ Lightwalker ⋆ tagged: Graveldust [Squidclan]

"Your name, beautiful" Aurora could barely contain their excitement, although they were able to tell the molly's signing was a bit stiff, taking a couple of seconds to understand the meaning of squidclan, they still appreciated it "My home, l-i-g-h-t-w-a-l-k-e-r-s" right after they made the sign for "light" and a walking motion "Everyone in Squidclan understands signing?" they wondered if the knowledge of signing was common amongst clan cats.

➤ EARTHQUAKE ★ they/them ⋆ 23☾ ⋆ Lightwalker ⋆ tagged: Vie [Whiskered Away]

The devon's first gathering was an amusing experience to say the least, even if the only thing they were able to do was look around, a little lost within the sea of cats. A little figure with wrinkly hairless skin marched towards them, breaking their trance, Earthquake was a little happy that someone came to talk to them, "Hello there, I suppose this is a gathering!" the sphinx's words surely came across a little condescending, maybe even rude, but the fawn devon wasn't one to judge other cats like that, as they believe everyone has motives to act the way they do. "I'm not sure if I'm the best cat to be asked that, it's my first time here" they drew a polite smile.

➤ MISTMASK ★ they/them ⋆ 33☾ ⋆ Lightwalker ⋆ tagged: Open! + with Darktempest

Mist begged their mate to attend the gathering with them, who reluctantly accepted. They were so excited to be in the same space as those many cats, so many potential friends, they thought, if given the opportunity the gray tuxedo would befriend all of them.

➤ DARKTEMPEST ★ they/them ⋆ 40☾ ⋆ Lightwalker ⋆ tagged: Open! + with Mistmask

On the other hand, the black and white cat grumpily walked aside their mate, looking down, trying to not lose their mind amidst those annoying noisy cats. At least the cat they loved the most seemed to be enjoying that experience...

➤ GRANITE ★ they/them ⋆ 6☾ ⋆ Novice ⋆ tagged: Quietpaw [Duckclan]

"Another guide, that's so cool!" Granite giggled, after being told their clan was different from most, finding a similarity like that was exciting "But is she actually yellow? I'd be weird if she weren't" they joked "Also your clan seems like a super awesome place! I love ducks! I've never seen one but all birds are my friends!"

Caveclan

Harestar is tagged with Meteorfall (Lightwalkers)

Harestar was unsure what a jungle was but Meteorfall seemed in awe of his own home. “Your tree sounds lovely,” He replied, thinking of how different their two territories were. Harestar and his sister had been the first kits born in Caveclan and he’d never lived or slept anywhere other than the warm, comfortable cave dens. How odd it would feel to sleep the way the Lightwalkers did, so exposed like that. Sleeping under the full view of Starclan was an intriguing idea. Harestar tilted his head thoughtfully before mewing, “It wasn’t really me who brought Caveclan together. That was Morningstar, he founded Caveclan. I’m just following in his pawsteps and keeping my clanmates safe.”

Sunstripe + Rowanfur are tagged with Doefern + Mandrakespell (Squidclan)

Sunstripe paused grooming Rowanfur’s pelt, lifting his head to look curiously at the newcomers approaching them. A quick glance at Rowanfur from the corner of his eye revealed that the aging warrior was interested as well from the way she lifted her head, green eyes sharpening to study them. Rowanfur dipped her head in a small gesture of welcome and Sunstripe gave them a friendly nod, glancing at his mother as she spoke. “Nice to meet you two as well. I am Rowanfur and this is my son Sunstripe, Caveclan’s deputy.” From the scent of their pelts, Rowanfur could tell the molly was a medicine cat. Cloudpool carried the same scent of herbs and earth. The tom was likely a warrior, like herself. “What clan are you both from?” Sunstripe asked curiously. Theirs was an unfamiliar scent to the both of them and Sunstripe was curious. Rowanfur was as well, since it had been a while since she’d attended a gathering. Not since before Morningstar had passed. The molly was more interested than she’d expected to be.

Cloudpool is tagged with Snowy Owl (Igneousclan)

Cloudpool shivered, his yellow eyes darkening with mingled horror and grief for Snowy Owl’s clan. How awful that must have been for them to have gone through. He couldn’t even imagine losing his connection with Starclan. All of Caveclan would suffer if they suddenly found themselves unable to connect with their ancestors. The fire was even worse, as if it was a punishment from the ancestors who had cut themselves off from their living clanmates. He didn’t mention that to Snowy Owl though, choosing instead to say, “I hope that your clan will soon regain some connection with Starclan.” Cloudpool’s memories of his life before Caveclan were vague since he’d been so young but he could certainly recall the dangers of living life as a rogue. “It shouldn’t take too long for that,” He assured her, chuckling. “Soon enough Igneousclan will have a full nursery. Ours has grown rather empty now that so many of the kits have become apprentices. We have two kits in the nursery who’ll join the apprentices next moon but we do have one queen in the nursery and several mated pairs who may soon be expecting. Trust me, it won’t take too long for your clan to have just as many kits. They’ll certainly keep you busy!” Cloudpool joked, amused.

Mosspaw is tagged with Laurelpaw(Chaosclan)

Mosspaw tilted her head curiously. “How do you not let your nerves show?” She asked them. The medicine apprentice blinked at Laurelpaw, sympathy flickering through her body. It must have been difficult for them to come into a clan knowing no one and having to prove themselves to their clan. “That’s brave. Really brave. I’m not sure I could have done that.” The pale gray apprentice told them admiringly. She mewed, “Injuries aren’t so bad. I watched Cloudpool work after Echopaw got hurt and she’s healing really well. He’s let me watch a few times before and it’s really cool seeing how he helps every cat heal.” Mosspaw said, awed. “I can’t wait until I can do that as well. You said you're going to be a hunter right? That sounds cool! Does that mean only hunting? No fighting?” She asked curiously.

Poppypounce is tagged with Yuqine (Guild of Cuthulhu)

The dilute tortoiseshell looked up as a gray and white female approached, curiosity brightening her gaze as the newcomer approached. The molly’s ears angled enthusiastically forward, sitting up at her words. That was perhaps the best compliment that Poppypounce could remember receiving. The most unique as well. “Aww thank you! So would you! Some lovely lavender and blue colored flowers would look lovely with your coat.” Poppypounce told her. “I’m Poppypounce from Caveclan. It’s nice to meet you.” “Do you often make flower crowns? For us, it’s a tradition for new mates to give each other special flower crowns. My parents still have theirs.” She added, thinking fondly of Mottledshade and Pigeonflight.

Mistypaw is tagged with Violapaw (Duckclan)

“Our homes must be really similar. Except for the mountains of course,” Mistypaw said with amusement. “My mentor will probably teach me hunting and battle first too. The older apprentices said they learned to hunt and fight first too.” She tilted her head hopefully. “Now that I’m an apprentice, I can probably get one of the older cats to come with me to play in the shallow waters, somewhere safe but not interrupting cats fishing. They didn’t let us out as kits and as apprentices, we’re supposed to have a warrior go out with us. The older apprentices are going to be warriors soon, so maybe I can have one of them take me out.” Mistypaw could play in the water at the cave entrance but it wasn’t the same as going out into the territory. That was a much more exciting idea than staying in the camp to stay in the water. "Do you have a favorite place to play in the water?"

Vie | sylph | female | tags: Earthquake of the Lightwalkers (✫ Metagalactic ✫) ✰

Vie’s eyes narrowed as she glared at her new companion. “Are you trying to be smart with me, ay? Ay, kid?!” She was small and chubby and strange, but her eyes were smart and, most of the time, glared at others with such malice they wouldn’t dare laugh at her or make any snide remarks about it. She sighed ostentatiously. “That’s fine, I’m not interested in the gathering anyway. See, I’m a witch. The Great Witch of the North. And what I do care about is magic.” She looked Earthquake up and down critically. “You don’t look much like a wizard yourself. An apprentice at best.”

Spacejam | knight | male | tags: Mintleaf of Duckclan (recognize) ✰

The tall, elegant cat strolled across the grounds of the gathering. He smiled and nodded to cats that looked his way, giving the impression of a prince greeting his loyal subjects. He has not traveled in ages and was thrilled to see some new faces and explore new terrains. He stopped close to a molly and bowed slightly. “A pleasure to make your acquaintance. My name is Spacejam, who are you?”

Yuqine | iron | female | tags: Poppypounce of Caveclan (tauriel.) ✰

The molly nodded her head gracefully and answered with a smile. “My name is Yuqine. I come from the guild of Cathulhu. It’s a new clan run by a very young, but capable leader. I was friends with her parents.” Then she listened with fascination as Poppypounce spoke of their traditions, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Oh, how wonderful! It must be such an amazing day for any molly to receive such crown. Do the new mates make them by hand for each other? Are they matching?” She wanted to know more, thinking about sharing the information with Nerria. With a new clan, new traditions should be introduced and this would be a great one. Would eveyrone else be down with it, thought, she wondered. “Most of the toms I know would rather fight a terrask than wear flowers, let alone make a crown.”

duckclan
attending: duckstar, spiderrun, marsfang, mintleaf, foxangel, finn, quietpaw, violapaw, + can bring 5 more

DUCKSTAR ♀ - 71m - she/her - the yellow guide (leader) - tags: ravenstar (igneousclan)

though she tried not to look too visibly surprised, duckstar's eyes widened slightly. all at once ravenstar had already listed several words she was unfamiliar with, and it intrigued her to ask more questions, but she refrained. instead, she answered to ravenstar's question, "i would say the part of duckclan that stands out the most are our ducks. we don't hunt them, but instead we live alongside them as companions." she remembered the first time she saw the feathery head of a duck, peeping out of the green strands of grass and guiding their exhausted clanmates to water. after moons of travelling on their own, they had finally found a place to make their permanent home, and the ducks were the first to welcome them. she found it amusing how quickly her clanmates accepted the ducks as an important aspect of the clan.

SPIDERRUN ♂ - 57m - he/him - the blue guard (deputy) - tags: open

spiderrun had been a little reluctant to come to the gathering, though he didn't show it outwardly when duckstar invited him. he didn't see the point in engaging in small talk with those from other clans, especially when he could be doing much more useful things back at home. but for now, he could keep up appearances and try to make the most of it. he wandered around the center of the gathering, trying to figure out what to do.

MARSFANG ♂ - 34m - he/him - the red wing (deputy) - tags: open

marsfang took a deep breath before standing up straight, his eyes bright and alert. he had been to the gathering before, but this would be his first where he was the deputy of the clan, and somehow he felt a sense of pressure to act right while he was there. he needed to look and act competent, and more importantly, confident. he said a quick goodbye to his clanmates before trailing into the clearing, trying to fit in with the crowd.

MINTLEAF ♀ - 22m - she/her - the green magician (med cat) - open for relationships (lesbian) - tags: open

mintleaf smiled at the other cat, and somewhat clumsily returned the bow. "i'm mintleaf! i'm a green magician, or medicine cat, from duckclan. pleased to meet you too!" she looked to the other cat with curious eyes. "where are you from? you have a very unique name." not unlike many others within her own clan, mintleaf supposed.

FOXANGEL ♀ - 80m - she/her - warrior - tags: thundercloud (chaosclan)

"oh! it's a recent change," foxangel chirped, forgetting all of the sadness she felt previously. "we just haven't felt very prepared to deal with large conflicts, so now they can split up their duties between two deputies." it's going to help duckstar a lot to have two deputies to help her, foxangel thought to herself. she had been with the clan since the beginning, and since then the clan had grown so large it seemed like an enormous task for one cat to handle. "your clan has a lot of leaders though! does it help with organization?" she asked curiously, tilting her head. "how does two leaders work?"

FINN ♂ - 18m - he/him - the duck whisperer - open for relationships (bi) - tags: open

QUIETPAW ♀ - 7m - she/her - duckling (apprentice) - tags: granite (lightwalkers)

quietpaw opened her mouth, then shut it again. "wait a second, her fur is actually yellow. i never noticed that." she glanced down, lost deep in thought. but when granite mentioned the ducks, quietpaw's smile widened slightly and she laughed to herself. "i like birds too. i think you would really enjoy ducks, if you saw one. they're fluffy and they say quack when you run towards them." some of her fondest memories were at the lake, watching ducks with her family.

VIOLAPAW ♀ - 7m - she/her - duckling (apprentice) - tags: mistypaw (caveclan)

violapaw hummed as she thought about the question. "there's usually a lot of warriors at the lake, so i'm mostly free to go whenever i like." she was glad she didn't need a warrior to come with her - she was always annoyed when her clanmates tried to supervise her when she was younger. "i usually keep to the shallow areas, where i can feel the ground beneath me. that way i don't drown or get lost and float out to the middle of the lake. recently i've been pretending to be a duck, but i don't think i'm very convincing because the ducks always swim away before i can get to them."

Spacejam | knight | male | tags: Mintleaf of Duckclan (recognize) ✰

The tall tom smiled at her gently and listened with a calm expression. His grey fur contrasted with the red of his eyes and the white speckles on his back seemed to shimmer in the moonlight, just like stars on the night sky. His eyes gleamed for a moment with a curious sparkle when she mentioned she was a magician. “Thank you, Mintleaf”, he responded in a soothing voice. “I am a knight of Whiskered Away, but my name comes from a family tradition. My descendants all had names relating to the night sky, celestial bodies and astronomical phenomenon. So do I and so does my daughter.” He seemed happy to be able to tell the story to someone and especially proud to mention his daughter. “She is just a little one, so adorable too, you’d love her, but she is already showing astounding magical prowess. She holds great potential and I’m happy to see her grow. You mentioned you were magically talented as well? What exactly is a green magician?” His slim head tilted slightly to one side as he asked the question. “I’m afraid I have never heard of one before.”

ＳＣＡＲＡＢＣＬＡＮ════════════════════════════════════════════════
cats in attendance; agavestar, lionblood, elkprance, scenequeen

agavestar tom - 62 moons (pharaoh) - tags; mothstar (secretum stella)
shorthair oriental gray mackerel tabby w/ red eyes.
the pharaoh had a difficult time convincing his mate to stay behind this gathering; they had just found out that she was pregnant with their first litter of kits, and she had insisted that it was early enough that the trip wouldn't be a problem. but the gray tom's nervousness was enough to finally convince her to stay behind, on the off-chance that something happened to affect their first litter. shaking his head a bit, he locked eyes with his second, who he had grown close to over the last few moons or so, and took a deep breath before speaking to his clan. "as you all know, the rules are the same as they always have been. socialize and make friends, try not to ruffle any feathers, and don't reveal any secrets that should be kept close. meet back up here at the end of the night." nodding his head to his clan, he watched them each walk away before he began to walk himself, looking at his second and healer as they walked together towards the ridge. "i know neither of you have been to a gathering in your position before, but i appreciate you both being willing to come and represent our clan. i know you can both do this, just remain level-headed and scope out any potential alliances." he nodded his head to the pair before he climbed up to the leaders ledge, looking around for a spot to sit. he noticed an opening next to a blue siamese point, and made his way over, lowering his head politely as he approached. "is the spot next to you open?"

lionblood tom - 38 moons (second) - tags; open
amber broken mackerel shorthair with fern green eyes.
the tall tom stayed at his pharaoh's side the entire journey towards the gathering space, although every so often he would allow his one good eye to scan the rest of the cats who had decided to attend from their clan, a rather small group this moon. while their clan was very large, even after the many losses from the recent battles, many cats still didn't feel comfortable leaving loved ones for such a period of time to travel to and from the gathering. he couldn't blame them; he was beyond lucky that his daughter taipanpaw and himself both made it through, relatively unscathed. he knew too many cats who had lost friends, lovers, or even family due to the unnecessary violence and bloodshed. shaking his head to clear away the thoughts, he nodded to his pharaoh and the healer as they all made their way up the ridges where the high ranking cats tended to gather. as he sat near the far edge of the deputies ledge, he looked out at the crowd with his one good eye, wondering if there would be any cats from his old clan attending as well, which made him feel a bit queasy. shaking his head to clear away the thoughts, he forced himself to sit tall and proud, knowing that his various scars and lack of an eye tended to be off-putting to other cats from approaching him.

elkprance molly - 43 moons (healer) - tags; open
longhaired broken mackerel cream tabby with low white spotting and blue eyes.
the well-mannered molly stayed silent nearly the entire journey, completely lost in her thoughts, only stopping to listen to her pharaoh as he spoke to their small group. she said not a word as he approached her and the second, walking with them towards the ledge and giving them additional reassurances. a small smile graced her features as she nodded to him, acknowledging his words gratefully, and dipping her head in goodbye as both toms continued their upwards climb, while she remained on the third level. turning in place to make herself comfortable, she sat down with her back against the rocky wall, her keen blue eyes scanning the ledge to see if there was anyone who may be a decent conversationalist for the evening, but ultimately deciding to stay where she was and allow another cat to approach her.

scenequeen molly- 35 moons (enforcer) - tags; poochpuff (whiskered away)
silver fawn-caramel amber sunshine wideband classic tabby, emo, whalebone.
the short-haired molly looked around as the entered the gathering space for the first time, her green eyes wide as she took in the scene before her. she quickly looked up to her pharaoh as he spoke, nodding along in agreement to his words, before realizing they were being dismissed. she took a few steps away before watching the trio of high ranking cats walk towards the rocky outcropping where they would sit with their ranks, unable to help herself from allowing her eyes to trail after a particular tom-cat; the clan's deputy, who she would be lying if she claimed she hadn't found attractive and been trying to get to know better on any occasion that she had. so caught up in watching him climb the ledge and settle with the other seconds, she did not pay attention to her surroundings and ended up tripping over another cat, a yowl escaping her maw as she hit the ground. "oh my, i'm terribly sorry. i wasn't watching where i was going. are you alright?" while not typically the kind of cat to apologize or be concerned, she was truly embarrassed by her actions.

*I have more slots available for all clans if anyone wants to see anyone specific*

cat name -- gender -- rank -- tagged: open

Foxstar -- she-cat (she/her) -- leader -- tagged: open

Foxstar almost felt herself freeze in place once she arrived to the gathering. She couldn't believe she had come here as a leader for the first time, and felt a strong wave of being an imposter wash over her. She hung back, away from her clanmates, whom she ushered on ahead of her, hoping they wouldn't see her moment of weakness. She was supposed to be the strongest among them, the bravest, and the one to lead them today... feeling a bit disappointed in herself, and feeling a lack of confidence, Foxstar crept into the gathering's center, hoping to catch the eye of someone who wouldn't be too harsh on her.

Silverdance -- tom (he/him) -- deputy -- tagged: open

Silverdance caught a flash of his late mate's pelt from across the gathering, suddenly giving him pause as he led the rest of his clanmates towards the other clans as Foxstar took a pause for herself. Like his leader, he felt suddenly small. Like he shouldn't be here. The tom closed his eyes, thinking of Snapdragonpounce and wishing he could bring her beside him... and carried on, as he knew Snapdragonpounce would want. He would create new friendships, and learn more about the world around him. It was what Snapdragonpounce would want, he kept telling himself...

Winterglow -- she-cat (she/her) -- healer -- tagged: open

Clan customs took a lot of getting used to, Winterglow thought to herself. She was generally an observer, letting her sibling do all the talking, and she found that to be true tonight as well. There was so much to look at, so many things to smell, so many different voices... It wasn't overwhelming, not for Winterglow, for she was used to the comings and goings of being a rogue, but it definitely was different. She was happy to be here to represent her clan, and found herself sitting proudly, chest slightly lifted, her icy eyes gazing over other cats with interest, wondering if she would attract a conversational partner or if she should go find someone to talk to herself.

Pinepaw -- tom (he/him) -- healer apprentice -- tagged: open

Tail straight in the air, Pinepaw's extra paws doing a slight dance through the gathering, Pinepaw couldn't believe he had been allowed to come! Even though it was his first moon as an apprentice! He couldn't wait to share all that he had to observe with his littermates, and there was already so much to see! He was humming to himself, continuing to prance around the gathering, barely aware of where his large paws were taking him, truly happy to be here.

Koalafoot -- she-cat (she/her) -- hunter -- tagged: open

The new member of ChaosClan had come because she could see the apprehension on her new leader's face... and she had to admit she cared a lot about Foxstar. Koalafoot was a fierce protector, and watched Foxstar closely, making sure she didn't need anyone to intervene. Koalafoot wrapped her tail around her paws as a sign of relaxation for other cats, hoping to calm her apprehension for her leader... still, she tried her best to look away from Foxstar, though she kept glancing over at her leader's bright pelt, not wanting to lose her. The warrior found herself hardly caring if she found a conversational partner, though she knew that was the whole reason to come... perhaps she could talk about her experiences as a loner, if any cat cared to hear, but she felt her mind buzz with distraction.

Thistlepath -- tom (he/him) -- scout -- tagged: open

This would be his last gathering. Thistlepath had no doubt in his mind. He was unsure if he even should have come tonight, his joints feeling a dull ache from the long journey to get here, but he knew there would never be another opportunity. So he was here, and he sat off to the edge of the gathering. He was more than willing to observe, but also willing to see if he could attract a more reserved cat to converse with. He knew he didn't have the energy to keep up with the more outgoing cats that usually found themselves in the middle, at least, so here he sat, keeping his eyes on his clanmates from afar, making sure nothing bad was happening.

Musselpaw -- nonbinary (they/them) -- apprentice -- tagged: open

Smirking to themself, Musselpaw was delighted that they could come. They tried looking to see if there was any mischief they could get into, darting around the gathering through the shadows, eyes bright and alert.

CHESSCLAN !!

Faondapple | Medicine Cat - Molly - 44 Moons - Tagged: Reserved

Faondapple cast a sharp eye over the three cats that had followed her to the Gathering. "You three will behave, or I will drag you back to ChessClan by your tails," she threatened, but her voice dropped to a chuckle at the end. No matter how hard she tried, she could never be threatening. She was a healer through and through, though sometimes she longed for the simplicity of a warrior's lifestyle. With a sigh, she began to wander about the Gathering. She exchanged pleasantries here and there with familiar faces before she sat next to a bush.

Sleetsigh | Warrior - Tom - 46 Moons - Tagged: Open

Sleetsigh stuck his tongue out at Faondapple as she jokingly threatened them, but he took her words to heart. As it was his first Gathering, he needed to avoid trouble and have a peaceful night. He didn't want to rub any cat's fur the wrong way, and he didn't want to face Richterstar's disappointed gaze upon his return to camp. He wrinkled his nose for a second before stretching and beginning a slow loop around the clearing.

Brûlersoot | Warrior - Tom - 33 Moons - Tagged: Open

Brûlersoot rolled his eyes at Sleetsigh's response to Faondapple, but he knew the tom was a good cat. Even if he had not been a member of ChessClan long, Sleetsigh was one of the hardest working warriors Brûlersoot knew. He had no doubts that he would stay out of trouble, even if he poked fun at the idea of it. On his other side, Marimbastrike was bouncing excitedly from paw to paw. "Go on out there and have some fun, kit," he chuckled, batting at her ear. After a few cross words, she took off. Taking that as his cue, he found a spot next to a tree to rest his paws by.

Marimbastrike | Warrior - Molly - 21 Moons - Tagged: Open

Marimbastrike could barely believe that she was here, at a Gathering, as a warrior. It was absolutely everything she had ever dreamed of, even if the air was bitingly cold. As Brûlersoot joked at her, she wrinkled her nose. "I'm not a kit, and you're not that much older than me. You were still an apprentice when I was in the nursery," she shot back, ruffling her pelt and dashing towards the congregation of warriors.

OUTBACK RUNNERS !!

Glacierbloom | Elder - Molly - 111 Moons - Tagged: Open

"Oh, my old bones can't handle another journey like this," Glacierbloom croaked, grinning as she turned and stepped aside so her clanmates could survey the Gathering. She had been elected to lead the Gathering party as almost all of the high-ranked cats were sick or incredibly busy with the sick. "Go. Be free!" she chuckled, sweeping her tail out. She sighed and sat where she was, at a nice vantage point where she could watch the entire Gathering from above.

Witheredfern | Warrior - Molly - 48 Moons - Tagged: Open

Witheredfern's heart fluttered with concern as she watched Glacierbloom sit, but she knew the older molly would absolutely berate her into nothingness should she raise her voice. With a grumble, she wandered out towards the Gathering. There were so many new faces, and she was nervous about striking up a conversation. Looking back and forth, she took a deep breath and began to ignore her surroundings as she tried to calm down.

Sprucebough | Warrior - Tom - 24 Moons - Tagged: Open

Sprucebough grinned as he jumped over a young apprentice barely half his height. "Pipsqueak!" he called over his shoulder, laughing as he ran circles around another apprentice before dashing off. He may be a warrior, but he was still living through the mindset of an apprentice. He loved pranks and jokes, even if it got him onto elder duty more often than not. With a grunt, he finally quit running and began weaving amongst the warriors, seeking out a friendly face to talk to.

Parchmentpool | Warrior - Tom - 54 Moons - Tagged: Open

Parchmentpool took a deep breath as he watched Sprucebough tear off at a terrifying speed. He would have to keep an eye on the younger tom, knowing he'd be assigning him to elder duty before the night was over. With a grunt, he wandered down the slope and began smiling at the cats he passed. He could hear the ruckus Sprucebough was causing, but he quit caring at some point. He'd chew him out later, after he had a nice night at the Gathering.

DUCKSTAR ♀ - 75m - she/her - the yellow guide (leader) - tags: open

open for interaction

MARSFANG ♂ - 38m - he/him - the red wing (deputy) - tags: open
PUDDLEGAZE ♂ - 36m - he/him - warrior - tags: open

"look," marsfang pointed out to puddlegaze as they neared the clearing where the gathering took place. "a lot of the other clans are gathered here already." then he smirked. "i'll stick with you, in case you're feeling nervous." "i've been to a gathering before, marsfang. i think i can handle a conversation without your presence getting in the way," puddlegaze retorted. still, he followed marsfang closely as they navigated the crowds.

WINTERWOOD ♂ - 86m - he/him - the green magician (med cat) - tags: open

winterwood quietly made his way through the crowds that had gathered at the gathering, his eyes flickering over each cat with an intent, curious look. it had been a while since he had come to the gathering, and he was interested to see how the other clans had been doing. he spent most of his time dealing with his green magician duties, either looking after patients or gathering herbs, so being outside was a nice change of pace.

MINNOWPOND ♀ - 22m - she/her - warrior - tags: open

minnowpond had never been interested in attending the gatherings, but today she decided to come just to accompany her two siblings. though they were nearly warriors, her mother had been overprotective of them and entrusted minnowpond to chaperone them. "okay, wrenpaw, wishpaw," minnowpond exclaimed, turning around to address the two apprentices. however, as soon as she turned around she realized that they had disappeared, and she was left standing by herself.

WRENPAW ♀ - 11m - she/her - duckling (apprentice) - tags: glacierbloom (outback runners)

before they arrived at the gathering, wrenpaw and wishpaw had already agreed to split up and explore the gathering by themselves. wrenpaw nearly ran into the gathering, excited to be surrounded by so many different cats! she flitted from place to place, not staying in one place for long and making sure not to bump into her siblings. eventually she stumbled into a more quiet portion of the gathering when she noticed the cat sitting by themself. "hi!" she called, making her way towards them and tilting her head curiously.

WISHPAW ♂ - 11m - he/him - duckling (apprentice) - tags: pinepaw (chaosclan)

wishpaw slipped away from his siblings quietly and looked around the gathering for someone interesting to talk to. he watched the other apprentice jump around the gathering with amusement for a while, appreciating his excitement to be here. eventually he decided to talk to him, casually intercepting the path of the other cat. "hello," he mewed, trying to keep his tone friendly and neutral.

PEREGRINE ♀ - 43m - she/her - warrior - tags: open
AVA ♀ - 42m - she/her - warrior - tags: open

open for interaction

FLAXDUCK ♂ - 43m - he/him - the duck whisperer (warrior) - tags: open

flaxduck couldn't remember the last time he had been to a gathering. he had always been too busy at the clan observing the ducks to notice much outside of the clan. really, the only reason why he remembered that the gathering existed was that duckstar asked him to come. still, he was eager to join and see how other clans worked, and spent a good amount of time just wandering around and listening in on other conversations.

Whetley | heir | female | tags: Skadi of Secretum Stella (Spooky) ✰

Whetley was ready to have some fun. Gatherings were always so interesting with all the new faces and interesting things to learn. She smiled as she walked past other cats, nodding in greetings.

Shark | heir | male | tags: Duckstar of Duckclan (recognize) ✰

Shark only had one goal this gathering: to talk to other clan leaders. He was only an heir himself, but that was close enough. He held his head up high and tried to look dignified as he looked for someone important to talk to. Duckstar caught his attention. “Greetings”, he said formally. “I am Shark of Whiskered Away. Mind if I join you for a chat?”

Briston | knight | male | tags: Faondapple of Chessclan (sharpie) ✰

Briston stayed at the back of the group of cats from his clan as they made their way into the gathering. He was feeling uncharacteristically nervous. He felt that he was in prime time to start a family. Wait a little longer and he’ll be too old to run around with little kittens. From his father’s stories he knew that his parents met at a gathering as well. As there was noone within the clan Briston particularly fancied, this seemed like the perfect place to meet someone special. Soon after, his eyes lay on a particularly pretty molly. Before she could notice him staring, he made his way over and shyly introduced himself. “H-hi, I’m Briston. Do you, uh, come here often?”

Poochpuff | knight | female | tags: Scenequeen of Scarabclan (broken) ✰

It was Poochpuff’s first gathering. Her sister insisted that she went there to meet some new cats. She was secretly hoping it would help with her obsession. Poochpuff agreed, looking forward to seeing some new scenery. She looked in surprise at the pretty molly now sprawled on the ground. “I’m fine, I’m not the one who fell over. Are you okay?” She extended a paw to help her up.

Skypaw | page | female | tags: Musselpaw of Chaosclan (Kazin) ✰

Skypaw sat on the ground and sighed. She attended the gathering for the first time and it already looked boring. She would have to find something to do or risk falling asleep. She walked up to the first cat that looked to be around her age. “Hey”.
