secretum stella
may the stars watch over you


mothstar | nb | leader/dux stella | tags: agavestar of scarabclan (broken)

"Everyone remember the rules? Don't fight, don't insult others, but most importantly, have fun. If you, by any chance, ever need my assistance, I will be at the leader's ledge, which is right over there. May the stars watch over you all." Mothstar nodded and waited for them all to walk away. "Oh, and Honeypaw? Enjoy yourself." they added and watched as the sad, grief-stricken apprentice walked away. This would do them good - ever since Ribbon's death, Honeypaw hasn't been the same. Mothstar watched as their tail disappeared in the crowd and then turned away to the leader's ledge, before jumping right up and taking a seat, watching the crowd mingle underneath. It was so fascinating, watching all those cats below - one could only hope that Secretum Stella would get as big as that crowd. Mothstar was so focused on the crowd that they didn't even notice how one red-eyed tom walked up to them. He'd asked them if the spot next to them was open. "Yes, of course. I don't believe I spoke to you at the last gathering I've been in. My name is Mothstar, and I'm the leader of Secretum Stella. Pleasure to meet you." they smiled and waited for the tom's reply.

macaroni | female | medicine cat | tags: open

Macaroni was very excited for her second ever gathering! She listened to what Mothstar had to say, but it mainly came into one ear and out the other, and she was pretty sure if her hind legs were working, she'd be bouncing all around this place. This was her second gathering, and the first where Aspenpelt would not be attending, so it was her duty to make sure Secretum Stella makes a name for itself with the medicine cats! But before that.. she remembered the apprentice she was talking to last time. Was Maipaw attending this time too??

dapplesplash | nb | warrior | tags: open

Dapplesplash listened to their leader and best friend speak, and after that, they shared a nod and walked away, mingling with the crowd. Hopefully someone could help these feelings of theirs...

shrewpelt | f | warrior | tags: open

Shrewpelt was excited. This was her first ever gathering. When the last one happened, she had been stuck on the talk with the stars due to her warrior ceremony. Admittedly, she miiight have been a teeny-weeny bit jealous of Macaroni for going, but that was in the past. As soon as Mothstar stopped speaking, she dashed off, keen on finding cats to talk with.

honeypaw | nb | apprentice | tags: open

Honeypaw had been forced to attend. They knew that they haven't been the most active of late, but it has only been two moons since Ribbon's passing. Ribbon attended the last gathering, right? So there must've been a cat they've talked to somewhere nearby. Honeypaw smiled gloomily after Mothstar called them out, and began walking into the crowd.

skadi | m | apprentice | tags: whetley of whiskered away (frisco)

Skadi dashed into the crowd as soon as Mothstar was done speaking. This was so exciting!! Blanche, his twin, wasn't able to come because she decided to go next time, but he didn't see the point of that. He was going to meet new friends at last!! As he thought about new friends, he accidentally ran into a greyish she-cat with yellow eyes. "Ow..! Huh?! Oh, I'm sorry for bumping into you, miss! Are you okay? I wasn't looking at where I was going... um.. My name is Skadi! I'm from Secretum Stella."

paradise risen
cats attending: Malibusky, Thorn, Splotch

Malibusky | 23m | ♂ | solid white shorthair with hazel eyes | tags: Duckstar (DuckClan)

After Thorn mentioned a large gathering of cats taking place, Malibusky decided that they should join in. He wanted to know who else lived around the area, and maybe invite them to join or just make some new alliances. As he approached the supposed gathering area, he was stunned by the large number of cats present - more than he had ever seen in his life. Sensing his excitement, Thorn volunteered to keep an eye on Splotch, leaving Malibusky free to go and talk to others.

Spotting a older she-cat, who looked wise in her age, Malibusky headed over. He meowed, "Hi there. I'm Malibusky, and I live in the big twoleg fun park that's further south. May I know your name?"

Thorn | 30m | ♂ | longhaired black mackerel tabby with green eyes | tags: Splotch, Brûlersoot (ChessClan), open

Thorn was always wary of other cats, especially huge gatherings of other cats like this. He didn't want to go to the gathering, but after Malibusky's persuasion, he reluctantly agreed. Someone had to keep an eye on the former kittypet anyway, and he was the only one with the experience. After letting Malibusky go off on his own and watching his stark white pelt disappear into the crowd, he turned to Splotch. The molly looked nervous, eyes scanning the crowd. "Let's sit by the side," he suggested, and she nodded. Finding a nice tree with shade, he sat underneath it and observed the gathering quietly. He noticed that there was another cat under the same tree, but didn't make a move to acknowledge him.

Splotch | 18m | ♀ | grey and white mackerel tabby shorthair wearing a collar | tags: Thorn, Brûlersoot (ChessClan)

Splotch followed the older toms, not wanting to be left behind at the fun park alone. There were too many cats and she was getting very anxious; luckily, Thorn picked up on it and brought her to sit at the side. She noticed a dark-coloured tom sitting under the same tree, and tapped Thorn with her tail to tell him, but he seemed to ignore it. Finally letting curiosity get the better of her, she padded a little closer to the foreign tom and meowed "hello" in a voice she hoped was not shaking.

CHESSCLAN !!

Faondapple | Medicine Cat - Molly - 44 Moons - Tagged: Briston (Whiskered Away)

Faondapple looked over her shoulder at the tom who introduced himself, and then looked at him with her brow furrowed as he asked if she came here often. It seemed like a cheesy pick-up line, but she wasn't sure. "If you mean the Gathering, then absolutely. I've met one of my best friends here, so I always come hoping for a glimpse of her. I'm Faondapple, head healer of ChessClan," she smiled, puffing her chest out a little bit. It had been just over a season since her mentor and long-time friend Wolfwhiskers had passed away, so she still felt awkward introducing herself in what had been his position. She still longed for his companionship in the medicine den, but she knew he was with their ancestors screaming at her for every little mistake she made. He had become like a father to her after Finn had died, and it still hurt to realize he wasn't around anymore. Coming back to reality, she smiled at Briston. "I don't think I've seen you around here before," she commented.

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: Thorn & Splotch (Paradise Risen)

Brûlersoot watched as one cat, then followed by another, sat next to his tree. They seemed to share a few looks before one extended a shaky greeting. He took a deep breath before turning and facing them with a small smile. "Hi, I'm Brûlersoot," he offered, hoping to not sound too enthusiastic as it seemed one was particularly shy and the other did not particularly seem happy to be there. He didn't want to scare them off, but he also didn't want to seem too uninviting, so he sat at war with himself as he debated on just how he should act around these two. He finally decided to let them lead.

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: Wrenpaw (DuckClan)

Glacierbloom turned her head as a rather enthusiastic greeting ran her way, and she smiled as she spotted a young cat with a friendly expression approaching her. "Well, hello. Who might you be?" she asked, sniffing the air discreetly before pausing and realizing she didn't recognize the cat's Clan's scent. Every Clan had their own smell, you see. The Outback Runners often were tinged with the smell of sand and heat, while their former home had left them surrounded by a hint of bitter cold and ice. She patted the ground beside her with her paw, inviting what she believed to be an apprentice to sit beside her. "My name is Glacierbloom, of the Outback Runners. I can't say I've seen or smelled you around here before, are you new?" she asked politely, trying to stir up some small talk to make the greeting less awkward.

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.

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 tall gray tom kept his head respectfully lowered as he waited for a response, noticing that he may have surprised the other leader, as they had been looking out at the crowd before them before looking back at him. however, their kind smile was all he needed to take his seat at their side, wrapping his long tail around his front paws as he gave a small smile of his own in greeting. "you would be correct, i don't believe we have met before. its good to meet you mothstar; i am agavestar, the pharaoh, or leader in common terms, of scarabclan." he corrected his ranking almost immediately upon the slip up, knowing that his clans various titles could be confusing to outsiders. he couldn't help the spark of curiosity in his eyes at the strange name of this other clan however. "i must say, i have never heard of secretum stella; its a very unique name for a clan. may i ask where your name originates from?"

lionblood tom - 38 moons (second) - tags; silverdance (chaosclan)
amber broken mackerel shorthair with fern green eyes.
the tall tom-cat stayed in his seat, his one good eye scanning the crowd below for anything of interest. he watched his clanmates until they were lost in the throng of fur, and then turned his attention to other random cats, trying to take everything in as best as he could. he noticed at one point a dark-furred tom cat who seemed very uncomfortable for some reason, practically slinking through the crowd towards the high rocks, and for some reason felt drawn to the other tom. he watched as this other cat climbed up to the same ledge as he sat on, the deputies ledge, and decided it was as good a chance as any. he purposefully caught the other cat's eyes as he gestured with his paw at the available seat next to him, near the far edge of the ledge, away from the crowd. "i have an open spot next to me, if you'd like it." he called out kindly.

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 knew that her appearance could be off-putting to many other cats; the darkness around her eyes and her resting face made her not appear very welcoming or friendly. however, she did her best to soften her eyes even a tiny amount as this kind cat offering her a paw. while normally not one to accept aid from others, she knew it would be considered disrespectful in this instance, and the last thing she wanted to do was cause a rift between her new clan and another clan with her gruff attitude. so, begrudgingly, she accepted the paw, shaking her fur out as she rose to her full height again. she looked over the smaller molly with eyes that weren't intended to be critical, but she was so used to taking in ever little detail that to some they may appear that way. "i'm fine. thank you for your aid." slightly embarrassed by her mistake, she swiped a paw over her ear in an effort of grooming to appear normal. "i suppose i should introduce myself. i'm scenequeen of scarabclan."

ChaosClan

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

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

writing

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: Lionblood [ScarabClan]

The new deputy almost jumped as he saw another cat looking at him, catching his eye, but managed to contain himself as the cat called down to him. "I, uh..." Silverdance paused, shaking himself and reprimanding himself. That was no way for a deputy to talk. "Yes, that sounds great, thank you!" He called back, leaping up next to the other. "Hi there," he said, offering a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "I'm Silverdance, the new deputy of ChaosClan. It's nice to meet you."

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: Wishpaw [DuckClan]

Pinepaw positively beamed over at the other cat, practically shaking with excitement as he paused his prancing to engage in conversation. His paws kneaded at the ground in his anticipation, his tail still sticking straight up in the air. "Hi!" Pinepaw said, a little breathless from his adrenaline. He took a pause, hearing his parent amusingly tell him in his mind that no one will talk to him if they can't understand him. He sucked in a deep breath, letting out a purr as he released it. "I'm Pinepaw, a new apprentice of ChaosClan!" He introduced himself, smiling. "Who are you? Have you been training long? I'm so excited to start my training!"

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: Skypaw [Whiskered Away]

Musselpaw looked over towards the voice briefly, tilting their head slightly. "Hello there," they offered softly, blinking as they looked into the crowd of cats. "Adults seem to talk about the most boring things," they offered, shaking their head slightly at the thought. "I wish they'd, y'know, set up a game of moss ball, have some kind of friendly competition to see who can build the biggest shelter... or something...." they trailed off, realizing they hadn't even asked the other cat their name. "I'm Musselpaw, by the way," they said, nodding in a greeting.

duckclan
attending: duckstar, marsfang, puddlegaze, winterwood, minnowpond,
wrenpaw, wishpaw, flaxduck, ava, peregrine + can bring 3 more

DUCKSTAR ♀ - 75m - she/her - the yellow guide (leader) - tags: shark (whiskered away) & malibusky (paradise risen)

duckstar noticed two different cats from seemingly two different clans approached her at once, and for a moment she felt a little pleased that she was so popular this moon. "hello," she said softly to the two. "i'm duckstar, leader of duckclan. pleasure to meet you, shark and malibusky." her gaze flickered between them before she addressed malibusky. "fun park? is that different than a normal park?" she asked politely, curiosity glittering in her eyes. "what clan do you come from?"

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)

wrenpaw smiled. "i'm from duckclan! oh and my name is wrenpaw. i'm from duckclan! it's nice to meet you." she sat down next to glacierbloom, wrapping her tail around herself and looking towards glacierbloom curiously. "it's my first time here, so i don't really know what i'm supposed to be doing. i came with my two siblings, but they haven't been to a gathering either."

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

wishpaw chuckled. "i'm wishpaw, from duckclan. but i'm nearly a warrior now, and i've already completed basic training. the only reason why i'm not taking my warrior's assessment next moon is because i'm waiting for my sister to catch up." wrenpaw was a little too impatient and failed a few of her trainings due to her rash personality, but he tried his best to train with her and help her. "i don't mind waiting though. being an apprentice is nice."

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

peregrine and ava wandered around the gathering together. though she was used to meeting new cats from her travels with peregrine, ava was suddenly nervous to be around so many cats. peregrine smiled at her though, and ava felt more confident as they explored the gathering together.

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.

doefern - female - 75m - healer - tags; winterwood (duckclan)

doefern walked alone at the gathering. mandrakespell had wanted to stay at camp, in case his kits were delivered. doefern doubted it, as he had only told her about his fling with one of the odd-looking cats this moon, so she wouldn't have given birth yet. but whatever floats mandrakespell's boat. she felt a bit isolated with no one to walk to, and decided to walk to the nearest cat who was by the medicine cat section. she approached a silver longhair, and she was envious of his thick fur in the cold. "hey there, im doefern! nice to meet you."

basatan - male - 37m - healer - tags; elkprance (scarabclan)

basatan hated it. his first gathering and he felt like he was going to freeze to death. the leafbare winds whipped against his hairless pelt, and he shivered. he wondered why he even went. the tom shivered, his paws practically freezing to the ground. he decided to try and talk to a cat to get his mind off of the freezing cold, and padded till he found a cat who smelled like herbs. basatan attracted attention, his odd body attracting the gazes of some neighboring cats. as he approached a cream tabby, he smiled, "hello there, im basatan of squidclan."

Whetley giggled, looking at the the young apprentice. “I’m fine, don’t worry. Are you okay?” She lowered her head in a greeting. “My name is Whetley. I am the heir of Whiskered Away. It’s a pleasure to meet such a well-behaved apprentice.”

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

Shark was glad that another cat joined their conversation. The more positive contacts he made the better for the clan. “I’m curious as well. What is a fun park?”

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

Briston soaked up her every word with fascination, which showed in his eyes, sparkling with joy. “It’s nice to meet you, Faondapple. A head healer, huh? That’s impressive.” He smiled and got lost in thought for a moment. “Hmm, no, I don’t think I’ve ever been here before, not even as a kit. It’s more my sister’s thing.” His smile faded and his gaze moved to the side. “Or it used to be anyway.”

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

If Poochpuff ever tried to read Scenequeen’s mood from her body language she would be able to read her like an open book and even emphasise with her. Poochpuff looked pretty strange herself with her flopped ears and hairless body. But social interaction were never her strong suit, so she just smiled a bright and friendly grin. “I’m Poochpuff of Whiskered Away. Have you ever been to a gathering before?”

I had to sneak out to be alone.” She looked at Musselpaw and her eyes widened in slight embarrassment when she realised she had been pretty rude, not introducing herself first. “Skypaw”, she said in a quiet voice.

Faondapple | Medicine Cat - Molly - 44 Moons - Tagged: Briston (Whiskered Away)

Briston seemed kind enough, so Faondapple turned to fully face him. As his voice trailed off and his eyes lost their sparkle, she felt a tug in her heart of sympathy. "Has she moved on to be with your ancestors?" she asked gently, knowing it may not have happened but she often saw that look in grieving cats as well as herself. The moons of mourning Finn's death had left her looking similarly, though she had been the one to step up and keep her family together and introduce her siblings to ChessClan's way of life when they moved. "I am so very sorry, if she has. I know it's hard; I've lost many close friends," she meowed, choosing not to mention the countless times she had watched her clanmates fall prey to injuries and illnesses alike. Battles and plagues haunted her nightmares to this day, and she begged the ancestors nightly not to let the young cats in her Clan ever witness such a thing. As such, it continued to happen as was shown by the devastating events just nearly five moons ago. She swallowed quickly, blinking away tears as the faces of those she had lost rose in her mind. "It will get easier with time, but it's okay to let yourself feel. Don't bottle it up," she meowed, remembering outbursts from clanmates who hid their emotions.

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.

Brûlersoot watched as one cat, then followed by another, sat next to his tree. They seemed to share a few looks before one extended a shaky greeting. He took a deep breath before turning and facing them with a small smile. "Hi, I'm Brûlersoot," he offered, hoping to not sound too enthusiastic as it seemed one was particularly shy and the other did not particularly seem happy to be there. He didn't want to scare them off, but he also didn't want to seem too uninviting, so he sat at war with himself as he debated on just how he should act around these two. He finally decided to let them lead.

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: Wrenpaw (DuckClan)

The little molly's enthusiasm warmed her heart, and she smiled at her. "I think I've heard of DuckClan in passing," she mused, remembering one of her clanmates saying a similar name once. Oh well, it was so long ago that she'd forgotten most of the details. "Well, you're doing a fine job so far. Most regular cats come to the Gathering to hear news of other Clans and to simply find a nice cat to chat the night away with. The leaders and deputies often discuss potential allies and treaties and such, but cats like us? That's far too much responsibility. I'd say your siblings have done what you're doing now, sitting down near some nice cat and saying it's their first Gathering. It seems most young cats say that," she chuckled, remembering the number of times she'd heard it. She knew she once had said it too, but that was many many moons ago. "Is it cold where you're from? My Clan used to live in the cold, but we moved to a very hot territory. It seems I've forgotten just how cold the air can be," she meowed, breathing and watching the cloud of visible air dissipate around her.

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.

Sunstripe is tagged with Marsfang and Puddlegaze (Duckclan)

Tail tip flicking with interest, the yellow deputy looked around, eyes gleaming. He’d thought he would have rathered staying home with Thymepool tonight and he did, but this was a chance for him to declare to everyone that he would be a father. He had a sneaking suspicion that some of his clanmates, although amused, were getting a little tired of his desire to shout to all of Starclan that he’d be a father soon. Sunstripe’s yellow-green gaze brightened when a nearby pair of toms came into view, and the tabby leapt to his paws, greeting them a small nod. “Hey! I’m Sunstripe, deputy of Caveclan.”

Pepperspark is tagged with Sprucebough (Outback Runners)

Pepperspark’s hazel gaze followed a dark brown tabby tom with curious interest as he caused chaos among the apprentices before running off. Amusement sparked her eyes at Rainpaw’s baffled, slightly alarmed expression and Pepperspark watched a moment as the older tom finally joined the warriors. As he grew closer, Pepperspark mewed mischievously, “So you like to harass the apprentices then? Poor Rainpaw looks completely baffled. You better be careful who you bother though. She’s the daughter of our leader, Harestar.” The tortoiseshell kept her voice light and teasing. Even without her littermates and her closest friends, perhaps this cat would be a fun companion for the night.

Rainpaw and Heronpaw are tagged with Honeypaw (secretum stella)

Her first gathering and Rainpaw already felt out of her depth. An unfamiliar tabby tom had run circles around her before running off and the gray molly was completely unsure how to respond. He’d run off towards Pepperspark just as Heronpaw had run over. Her brother had given the tom what he thought was an intimidating stare before perhaps too confidently stating, “I’ll scare off anyone who tries to bother you, don’t worry Rainpaw!” Rainpaw tried her best to smother her giggle, green eyes lighting with amusement as her surprise from the tabby tom from before wore off. “So chivalrous!” She exclaimed, and Heronpaw narrowed his eyes, unsure whether she meant to tease him or not. With his family, Rainpaw occasionally adopted a bit of mischievousness from their cousin, Mistypaw, so it was likely. Rainpaw however had spotted a nearby apprentice and nudged Heronpaw hopefully, gesturing to them with a paw. He eyed the tortoiseshell, curiously. Why did they look so sad? He led the way, Rainpaw close behind him, as they approached the unfamiliar cat. “Hello! I’m Heronpaw and this is my sister Rainpaw!” He introduced them. “We’re Caveclan apprentices,” Rainpaw added, blinking at them with concern. “Are you alright?”
