[Captain]

Moving through the forest at a secure, constant pace, the tall RiverClan leader led his clanmates down the familiar path that would bring them to the beach where the Seastones awaited them. A steady rainfall poured onto Pikestar’s head and back, dripping through the leaves of the trees overhead. The ground beneath his large paws squished and sloshed through mud and shallow puddles that had collected together since the storm had begun. Of course, they just had to have a storm during the one night that the clans have their Gathering. What amazing luck, huh? The oriental tomcat couldn’t help but huff with annoyance at the fact, though he supposed rain was better than snow and ice—not by very much though, mind you. Pikestar shook his pelt, scattering raindrops in every direction before continuing onward, stepping over the line that divided the forest from the beach. They were the first ones here tonight.

"Remember RiverClan, be on your best behavior tonight." He would yell back to the group behind him, his bushy tail swishing back and forth as he walked to the collection of stones closer to the ocean's edge. The feeling of the wet sand between his toes made Pikestar visibly wince, an uncomfortable shudder running along his spine. Gross. Glancing quickly behind him, the one-eyed RiverClan leader gave a nod to both Gingerfrost, his deputy, and Fawnlight, his medicine cat, before quickening his pace to get a somewhat running start to leap up onto the top of the Seastones in a quick session. What Pikestar didn't account for was how slick the rain would cause the smooth rocks to become. Jumping up using a few apparent ledges, the oriental longhair quickly made it to the top. However, the dark-furred tomcat's four paws quickly slid across the wet stone surface. All that could be heard was a startled honk as he took a not-so-graceful tumble off the Seastones, landing on the soggy sand below with a rough thud that knocked the breath out of the poor RiverClan leader.

Groaning in pain, Pikestar lifted himself up into a standing position, his stomach and chest fur covered in wet sand that clung to his long fur. He shook his head, hissing irritably under his breath as he lifted his partial gaze to look from the area where he fell from. What a perfect start to this Gathering... He thought shaking as much sand from his body as he could before Pikestar made his way back up to the top of the Seastones. This time the oriental was careful to where he put his paws and made sure to not rush. Once he was finally where he was supposed to be, the tall clan leader sat down and wrapped his tail around his front legs as his ears flattened against his head. Stupid rain. Stupid seastones. Stupid Gathering. He repeated his over and over again while the heat of embarrassment took over his whole body, making his skin prickle with uneasiness. Rain continued to pour onto his head, showing little to no sign of stopping. At least there were no other leaders present that witnessed such a display.

Smokepaw
Fluffy smoke tortoiseshell tabby with copper eyes

Smokepaw sighed. UGHHHHHHHH she thought as her fur got wet and her toes had sand in between them. She followed behind Pikestar, she didn’t want to miss out on a gathering.

[taillow]

Fawnlight
Paw steps light at the ground transitioned from marshy swampland to damp sand, Fawnlight kept up a steady pace behind Pikestar and Gingerfrost. Rain fell steadily overhead, but the fluffy medicine cat found that she didn't mind it all too much. Blue eyes gleamed under the light of the full moon as Seastones came into view, her jaws still clamped around a once-springy orange leaf. Her ears twitched at the call of her brother, hoping that her Clanmates would heed his words. They didn't need any fiascos tonight, especially with the rainstorm that raged overhead.

Catching her brothers eye the dappled she-cat split off from him once they neared the stones to take a seat where the medicine cats usually gathered. Shoulders rolled back as Fawnlight took a seat and set down her leaf, lifting her gaze up to Pikestar to watch as he took his spot. It was a good thing she did - as just moments later she watched him tumble back onto the sand. Eyes widened in shock and she got to her paws in an instant to help - when she saw that the leader didn't appear hurt. Concern soon melted into amusement and her whiskers twitched slightly as she bit back a chuckle. Instead, the medicine cat attempted to catch Pikestar's eye with a knowing gleam in it before settling down once more.

They were the first ones here which meant none of the other medicine cats had arrived yet. She was curious to see how they were all faring this leaf-bare, but more so that she finally felt comfortable around them and apart of the group. Her thoughts also drifted to Cowpaw, hoping that the medicine cat was doing well. He was the one she felt the closest to admittedly, ever since the first Starcave meeting she had attended. There, he had given her a present; a leaf of sorts. Fawnlight intended to repay the gesture with her little gift tonight.

For now it would just be a waiting game until the other Clans arrived.

[ canineantics x ghostie - for you when Cowpaw arrives - Fawn has a present for him :heartbounce: ]

ColdPaw looked around. It was only Riverclan her now so he just sat there. He doesn’t talk to his fellow apprentices or really anyone. He never liked socializing in general.
——
LilyLeaf walked into the gathering and smiled. Her leg felt much better than it had a couple of weeks ago. Though it was still sore she was careful to not put much pressure on it.
——
GoldenPaw walked into the gathering and sat. He didn’t remember much from last gathering his head was not pulling anything up but whatever. He sat alone and isolated. He was ok with it though. He liked the quiet.

She went to her respective place at the gathering, her own spot and nodded at Pikestar's words. Soon enough a thump was heard. She rushed over from her usual sitting spot, looking down at him. "How damn slippery is that rock..?" She muttered. But she quickly noticed that the guy wasn't even hurt. She bapped him gently. "Dude! You scared me!" She groaned in embarrassment, shaking her head as he went back up the rock. " Be careful, dummy." She said in a sister-ingly tone.

[Bean.]

Nightpaw blinkee. Its been a bit since she been here. Nightpaw finds a nice spot to sit. And just watch. Suddenly she just watches pikestar slid’s down the seastone and jolts up with full of worry. She gets up and just slowly gets close to the seastones then stops “Is he Alright? Is PikeStar Okay?!?!” She asked in concern. We didnt need anyone hurt at the gathering. Especially the leader

[perseus.]

Fogcloud quickly followed the others of Riverclan, making sure that everyone was being careful and also not acting out. Their large body looked even larger to keep out the chill that seemed to settle in the Seastone area. Though they winced when Pikestar fell, luckily the sand helped soften the landing but he would probably be sore tomorrow.


Cicadapaw quickly followed the leader, ears perked as the listened to everything around them. While it was only Riverclan at the moment they were nervous but they wanted to try and get this whole gathering thing done. They would just hope that somecat would be nice enough to "talk" to her tonight, talking on their end and signing on her end.

[Captain]

CLOUDPAW
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
➣ Pushing against the chilling winds and harsh rainstorm, the large black-and-white apprentice managed to arrive at the familiar beach with the rest of RiverClan. The stars seemed far from on their side tonight, given the current weather forecast, but then again: when were his ancestors ever merciful? A low voice in the back of his head even questioned why Cloudpaw was here right now. He hated gatherings, always had, since the very first one he went to as a small child. And yet here he was amongst his own clanmates in the bitter cold. The curly-furred tomcat knew very well why he was present though. His light blue-hued eyes had no trouble finding the beautiful molly known as Fawnlight─his best friend─from the medicine cat’s perch on the Seastones.

This was her first gathering as a full medicine cat, so obviously he had to come here for support and consolation if she ever happened to need it. He didn’t tell her that he was going to be here tonight, so Cloudpaw was already setting himself up for a bad time. He had no friends other than her and he made no real attempt to change that. The white-and-black tomcat was lucky enough to still have her as a close friend, considering their vastly different social circles and responsibilities. It was a miracle that she was still alive after being missing for a full moon too, so he was probably the last thing on her mind.

Tucking himself away in the corner of the crowd, Cloudpaw sat down and curled his tail around himself, shuddering against the rain. Maybe he should’ve stayed back at camp. He could have spent the time catching up on his battle moves, or guarding the camp itself. But no, the RiverClan apprentice let his selfish wants get the better of him yet again. Fawnlight was a busy cat, with a high status, so Cloudpaw wanted to be able to see her as much as he could. Some would call it foolish, others might even label it as obsession, but that wasn’t the case… was it? He shook his head, tearing his fixed gaze away from the Seastones and staring down at his paws. Perhaps he was nothing more than a stupid boy with a crush for a girl that was way out of his league. Dumbass. Hopefully, all the clans would be eager to get back home and out of this storm, making this gathering a quick one. He could only hope.

[Red Dawn]

Nightspark followed Pikestar and the others and sat, he brutally got up when Pikestar fell, he approached and asked "Pikestar! Everything alright?" he asked, very worried, -What happened?- he'd asked himself, never his leader was in difficulty like this, he prayed Starclan to protect his leader... canineantics

LILYCREEK

The orange and white furred molly loved the rain. Truly. She loved playing in it when she was younger, and now, she loved the petrichor that would follow. What she didn't account for was the heaviness of the rain as it relentlessly pounded on their backs as they walked. Everything was slick and muddy on the forest floor, and twice now, she nearly fall face forward. The sand wasn't any better and she groaned internally. Sand. Gross.

A startled honk parted the crowd, and her head shot up in alarm. She looked up in time to see Pikestar fall off the Seastones, and fear swelled in her a little. Oh dear, what he alright?

Raccoonear and Fawnlight made it to him, presumably to check on him, but she heard chuckled, so hopefully, he was alright.

Sighing through her nose (and subsequently inhaling some water resulting in a sneezing fit), she stood off to the side, ready to help others through the mud and sand.


[ Estelle - just for when Nightshiver comes and you potentially want them to meet like that :eyes: ]

[MockingRabbit]

Specklemist was happy to be here, despite the rain. The sloppy sand under paw felt soothing as he paws sank into it.

{OPEN TO RP WITH MY NEW OC!!!}

[sock]

Rainglow, as usual, stayed out of the way of most cats. This gathering though, he really didn't want any company. He had... a lot to think about. Mostly his mother's funeral, and his stupid response. He stared down at the wet sand, kneading it carefully with his paws. He felt the rain cling to his long pelt, but honestly, the grey tom didn't mind at all. He was too deep in memory. Memories of his mother when she was around. Memories of the funeral his brother had held. Memories of how he must have upset Mintpaw somehow. When that memory washed over him, Rainglow decided that she was the cat he wanted to see least. He didn't want to see Mintpaw, or anybody. What surprised him though was the fact that... he didn't want to see Slatestripe either. Usually his brother brought... a comforting feeling. The dark tom was usually the only one who could make Rainglow feel better, or speak his feelings. But, right now, Rainglow would only feel embarrassed and ashamed if he saw Slatestripe among the crowd. So, the grey tom closed his icy blue eyes, and took a few deep breaths. Don't focus on that right now. Just... think about the gathering. Yes, the gathering. About how your leader just... Fell off the Seastones!? Rainglow looked with concern at Pikestar, only resting his gaze when the oriental was safely back on the stones. So, with everything and everybody safe (to his knowledge, at least), he looked down again at his paws. They were covered in the wet sand, as he didn't realize he'd been vigorously kneading the soft surface ever since the tom had sat down. I'll dip them in the river when we get back. Rainglow thought, pinning his ears against the rain. Rain was fine when it wasn't in your ears.

Mintpaw followed silently, her fur plastered around her thin body as the rain soaked her. It would've been a nice sensation, if it wasn't so cold. If the Gathering took too much, she was sure she would start shivering at some point - and no one would be glad to have another place in the medicine cat's den taken by another sick cat.

All eyes were pointed on Pikestar's unexpected slide, but Mintpaw had noticed one cat among the others.
Padding carefully among her clanmates, she reached her mother behind her and tried to figure out if it was the same cat that had cared for her moons before.
"...Lilyleaf? Is it.. you?" She whispered, realizing how shocking this was for her.
How much time had passed? Mintpaw thought it was at least a moon. She had already given up hope...

LilyLeaf looked around and her eyes landed on her kit. "Mintpaw!"She exclaimed and nuzzled her. "I'm deeply sorry!" Said and nuzzled her daughter. "I fell down and broke my leg! I had to wait for it to heal but I came back as soon as I could!" Lilyleaf rambled.

~^~ Pumkinfire ~^~

Pumkinfire trekked after his clanmates into the Seastones’ clearing. Rain from the night before had turned the ground muddy. His nose scrunched up in disgust. Should Riverclan cats be somewhat used to this? He certainly wasn’t. The thought of sitting down in it was...not an appealing one. He decided to stand until it was time. ”I’m gonna have to take half a day tommorow to clean all this off!” He grumbled in a half whisper.

Despite his whining he was somewhat looking forward to this gathering. Pride welled up in his chest as he thought about how Riverclan finally had all their high ranks again. Surely this would make them even stronger. And tonight the rest of the Clans will know it too! This pride in his clan disappeared like mist in the morning. He watched Pikestar fall with an unimpressed tail flick. At least the other clan weren’t here to see that. He held back a grimace at the thought of the ridicule that would come with the Riverclan leader slipping off of the Seastones.

[Estelle]

Oh dear oh dear the sand was getting stuck between his paws already, kicking up the side and not the rear of the clan, as there were always ones who lagged behind. Unlike last time there was no point in him hurrying anymore, he had a designated sitting area now and frankly he wouldn't have minded missing tonight's gathering in the first place - so he wasn't exactly in a hurry, only to get home. But alas, that wasn't possible. Gingerfrost grimaced as the rain drenched him and the soaked sand got stuck between his toes. For a RiverClan warrior, he quite disliked the feeling, despite being fairly familiar with it. Though looking over the back and front of his arriving clanmates, it didn't seem or sound like he was the only one. Huffing, a few drops of water spattered off as he shook his fur, in vain of getting it dry. He knew that. His ear flicked lightly at Pikestar's usual warning, returning the dark-furred leader's light nod before directing himself to the deputy's stone cold sitting area.

Though before he could even reach it, before his eyes, Pikestar took a mighty slip and fall to the ground. The tabby stopped dead in his tracks, eyes momentarily widened at the sudden sight (and he might as well have been crushed by the leader, had he passed too close by, but that luckily wasn't the case). It did seem Pikestar was alright however, or as alright as he could be right now, considering the heavy groan and his rising back up. Good thing Fawnlight and Raccoonear were quick to come to the leader's side, as the tabby hardly knew what to do with this, and might as well be too tired to figure it out. He looked alright, he was alive. He blinked away the momentary surprise in his eyes and watched as Pikestar escalated the stones once more, this time without falling, before continuing his way. That was... Peculiar. But the stones were slippery, the tom noticed too as he made his way to his new designated spot. The climb was much less trouble, and subtly the deputy tried to hide under the ledge of the leader's stones as much as possible. But as the rain was front facing that proved to be rather pointless.

Huffing in dismay, the he tried fluffing his soaked fur against the cold breeze and the cold of the stone and the cold rain and just... The cold. He. Didn't. Want. To. Be. Here. Granted, the thickness of his fur allowed his skin to mostly remain free of the wetness, but that didn't last an eternity either nor was the feeling of his fur being soaked fun. Frankly not caring what anyone thought anymore, and to save himself some trouble, Gingerfrost blandly lay down on his tummy and tucked his paws and tail under himself - front paw pads facing upward - effectively turning into a grumpy, rain soaked loaf. Or more accurately a gingerbread loaf. He'd turn his back to the large crowd below if he could, so the rain wouldn't hit him straight in the face as it did now, but he couldn't go that far either... At least, not yet. Maybe once he didn't mind as much being in the line of sight of who knows how many felines. Though, if any of the other deputies turned their backs to the clan for the sake of saving their faces, he would gladly join them.

Mintpaw felt a choking sensation for a moment, a deep concern that she hadn't felt yet... "You waited... how much?" She asked confused, wondering how she could've survived without hunting.

"Why.. didn't you come back sooner? Why didn't you call out? I could.. have heard you..." Her voice trailed off as she pictured her mother injured, alone. Had she left the territory? Was that why none of the patrols had found her?

Despite the relief at knowing that Lilyleaf hadn't abandoned her and she was safe, Mintpaw wasn't completely happy with her mother's explanation. It's not like she couldn't be without her parent for a moon or two, but... Why? Why did you have to disappear like that?

Blue eyes showed emotion, but a thin layer of fog clouded them.

[SpiritedWarrior]

Reedwhisker

She padded alongside her Clanmates as they slowly made their way to the Seastones. She was not at all amused by the involuntary soaking of the fur, but kept quiet. It was nothing she could control, after all, so there wasn't much use in complaining. Once she stepped onto the sand, she hissed under her breath and shook some of the wet sand off her paws before settling down in the far corner of the location.

Hearing a distressed honk coming from the Seastones, Reedwhisker narrowed her eyes and watched as the RiverClan leader landed with a thud on the wet sand. When he stood up, he was covered in it, which made the warrior wince in sympathy. That'll take him forever to clean out... Both Fawnlight and Raccoonear had already taken notice of his fall and checked on him, which Pikestar was fine since he made his way back up to his spot.

[Poprock]

Featherflame followed the others towards the seastones, unable to contain her excitement. It had been so long since she had found time in her unreasonably busy schedule to attend such a sacred event, but fate smiled upon her tonight! There were no looming threats from any predators that required her urgent attention at home, and she had finished her daily workout routine early. Tonight would be all about seeking out any worthy opponents in the other clans. Not that she expected to find any.

Her attention was called to the seastones when a painful thud - followed by a pitiful honk - echoed throughout the area. My goodness! Has a fearsome goose flapped its way into our sacred space? Then it is my duty to vanquish it! For I am Featherflame the--

Oh. It was just Pikestar.

It seems the respectable leader had taken quite the hilarious tumble. In fact, she could barely contain her laughter! The urge to guffaw at the sight was becoming overwhelming... but Featherflame would not disrespect her leader! She would need to make sure he knew she was not laughing at him!

"That fall was not funny at all Pikestar the Untrippable!" She proclaimed proudly, putting on her most serious face. There, crisis averted!

[Caspian]

The wind seemed to plummel at Bouncepaw immediately. He shook out his pelt and looked at his clan. He looked ahead to see the unfamiliar shape of the seastones. It was bigger than he had been able to imagine let alone think about. As they entered the clearing the cold that had been clawing at him had died down a bit. He licked his pelt and sat down with his clan

Slatestripe was eager to finally come to a Gathering, given that it had been three moons since he’d last attended one. Illness had kept him from the last, and the previous moon had no Gathering to speak of. Curiosity about his enemies lit a fire in his step, despite the rain.

Upon arriving at Seastones, alarm shot through him as he caught sight of Pikestar tumbling down the Seastones. He relaxed as it became apparent that nothing bad had happened, and that it was simply a fall. Slatestripe was relieved that none of the other Clans had been here to witness that; a low growl erupted in his throat as he thought of having to fight a cat who insulted RiverClan’s leader too harshly for a simple mistake.

He spotted his brother some distance away, but decided to avoid him. Slatestripe was unsure if his attitude toward his brother was enabling Rainglow’s incapacitating anxiety in any way; as such, he wanted to let Rainglow decide when to approach. Warmth spread through him as he saw Mintpaw speaking with her mother, who had recently returned to the Clan.

Seeing nobody that he wished to sit near, he sat by himself near the front of RiverClan.

Fawnspring + koidream
something bad is about to happen ( part 2 of the turning )
The brown and white warrior glared at the ground beneath his paws. He was angered at even being here but when he tried to leave he spotted a familiar pelt amongst the others. A small calico tom by the name of koidream. He still wanted to nudge the tom in his direction of seeing starclan as someone who’ll abandon them. At least then he’ll have a mindless killing machine to work with him. Sitting down he called out to the young warrior. Hey koidream come here we must speak privately. hearing the familiar voice ring out koidreams head shot up and turned in the direction of Fawnspring. Getting to his small delicate paws koidream made his way over to see what the warrior wished to speak about. After settling down next to him koidream inclined his head to hear what Fawnspring was whispering to him. I want you to point out the cat you hate the most in this crowd tonight ok? Then I want you to tell me why you dislike them. koidream thought this strange but nodded in agreement. He held a strange respect for Fawnspring and wouldn’t wish to break it.

Aldermane trails in at the tail of the group attending the Gathering and quickly finds himself somewhere to sit. With the other Clans having not arrived yet, the Seastones seemed so empty, something that made a feeling of anticipation rise in his chest.

Sunspirit paddled over towards Slatestripe, her golden ears flat against her head as she walked over, but she had a happy air about her. sitting down she watched the leader in concern "Slatestripe... i Feel kind of sorry for Pikestar... First his sickness, and now falling off the seastones. But he's a strong leader isn't he? one of the best... " Sunspirit shook out her wet fur "at least the rain is better then ice no?" she sighed, as her golden eyes looked about the clearing with mind interest

Deadnight was having a silent break down in the rain

GOLDENSNAKE

The golden cat padded onto the sandy and rocky shore,her head held high as she scowled at anyone that managed to catch her gaze. As Pikestar fell down the rock she couldn’t help but laugh out of pure…disappointment.“Typical,Yeah. Let’s keep up the appearance that we can only act like kittens,shall we. ” She muttered,The Warrior sighed heavily before continuing her venture towards the edge of the gathering,Stay close to the way they came in case of an emergency.
Goldensnake was more upset at the lack of adult behavior that was present in the recent warriors if anything. Now Pikestar,Just allowing it to flourish in the environment that Goldensnake called her home. I mean,Goldensnake could guess that Pukestar was still sick from their illness. “Pukestar really just sitting up there like their clan isn’t infected with living,walking and Mentoring creeps.” The warrior muttered under her breath once more. If Shatteredsun showed up to this Gathering she was going to be pissed! Lucky for her,She had thought of some insults! “Kittenman with Smoke up the ears,Disgusting puddle of standing water,Grown ass warrior who doesn’t know how the hell age and ranks works.” She mumbled,Keeping the insult lingering on her tongue for when or if he showed.

RedHaze

Following quickly behind her sister, RedHaze sighed. It was very clear the warrior did not want to be there. From her standoffish behavior to her body language. Flicking her tail repeatedly, watching the sand be disrupted from this she smirked. RedHaze was not the type of cat to enjoy large or loud groups. It wasn't scared for them per say, she just didn't like watching cats talk without knowing of how to shut their traps.

She looked for GoldenSnake her escape coat. Her eyes would flicker across the crowd of riverclan, searching. Dammit! She couldn't find her. "Ugh! This is so annoying" She said, speaking towards herself. The calico, pointed her head at the sky, hoping something might fly across it to grab her attention. God gatherings were nothing but trouble.

A firm scowl was plastered on the lilac gray she-cat's maw as led her clan into the gathering. She was drenched, her pelt clearly not made for rainfall like this. Twilightstar didn't bother hiding her disdain with the cold, wet, soggy sand between her toes as she padded across the beach. The single green eye noticed RiverClan's arrival and wondered if they felt at home in the wet, yucky rain because they liked water and sand supposedly or if they felt as miserable as Twilightstar looked.

The WindClan leader trembled and shook like a bare branch on a gusty day, chilled to the bone between the lack of warmth from the night sky and the rain. She'd be shocked if she didn't catch something after this, Twilightstar would be extremely livid if she lost one of her two remaining lives to a cold or green cough because of a gathering. There was literally no point in trying to look graceful or elegant, and she's been doing this for too many moons to try and keep face. Twilightstar stomped her way across the beach with a loud sigh.

The eldest of the four leaders paused beneath the stones, eye looking up at the RiverClan leader already up there. She stood still for a moment, peering at the stone, and then glanced over at the RiverClan deputy, Gingerfrost, and where he sat. The leader's tail lashed back and forth behind her as returned her gaze to the stone she was supposed to sit on. Seemingly coming to a silent decision, she bunches up her lean muscles and began to leap with her claws out. Already aware that how slippery stone was when wet, she was not shocked in the slightest when the front pads of her paws slide out from underneath her. Rather than take a graceless knock to her head, Twilightstar's cat-like reflexes allowed her to jerk her weight backward, pushing off the stone, and land neatly on the sandy flooring once again.

Alright, she tried, she was done. Twilightstar turned away from the leaders' stone and leaped up on the lower ledge where the deputies sat(because her Rper wants her to sit with the deputies at least once in her lifetime).

She dips her head in a light little greeting to Gingerfrost while plopping her soggy bottom down in Fallownose's usual seat. She doubted a lot of cats even knew this, but Twilightstar has never actually gotten to sit among the deputies before.

The trouble in WindClan during her deputyship had resulted in WindClan not going to any gatherings during her few moons as a deputy. By the time they got themselves together, she had already replaced her former leader as the new leader of WindClan, and thus never gotten a chance to sit with any deputy. Actually, it had never even been announced to the other clans that she had been a deputy. She was also half certain that she had pretty much slept through her first gathering as a clan leader. Ahhhh! She almost missed her more chill nature back then.

Once her deputy finally arrived, Twilightstar offered Fallownose a faint smile despite her ornery mood. "The stones are slippery, and I've never sat down here before so unless you want to switch seats, you're going to have to share your seat with me."

Despite all her shaking and trembling, Twilightstar's voice remained composed and unwavering. Holding seniority among all the current leaders, deputies, and medicine cats, gave Twilightstar a little more sway when doing small things like this. She could still see all the clans from her current elevation and she'd still give her announcements.... unless Fallownose wanted to try his paw at it. The snappy, tight, little swishes of her tail to the right of her betrayed Twilightstar's less-than-stellar mood due to the rain and cold. If any cat had the nerve to question the WindClan leader's seating arrangement, it was likely they'd meet the sharp end of her tongue. She doubted anyone really cared so long as she was present, Dawnstar or ShadowClan would probably be the only ones to pester her.

Stumpypoppy
The flame-point moved toward the gathering while being drenched. Honorably following in the herding line that was behind Twilightstar. Sand that had been wet at the time adhered to his paws, toes, and followed up to his ankles. Oh dear, he really didn't like this. Sand was now sticking to his orange-tinted legs like viscous saliva. Furthermore, he was unable to see through even half of the intense downpour. Raindrops began to fall and puddle over the back of his flank. He was dragged behind the clan because of how much his thick fur weighed him down. Well, he decided to come here on his own, he grunted as it continued to pour. But now it would take days, if not weeks, for his fur to completely dry.His paws stepped off the beach and landed on mush. Utter mush. He now had a horrific rain monster appearance. The combination of snow and rain, along with dirt and other dungy things he didn't want to talk about, had resulted in his paws being coated in mud.

He turned to look at Pikestar on the boulder with his bold blue eyes. Before becoming preoccupied by the meowing and pattering of other cats, he tilted his head. It's possible that the Riverclan cats are used to these kinds of wet conditions. They had a strong fishy odor as well. He realized that in order to develop into a warrior, he had to become accustomed to being in situations like these. Anywhere, however. He sat there with his wet lump,  he didn't mind getting more slush on his butt. Who could blame him for getting dirty given his flawless creamy rose fur? He shook his fur in an attempt to shake off the excess of the constant downpour of rain, which he foolishly believed he could get rid of. His vision was now tempered, and he was currently experiencing the sensation of being a heavy, breathing ball of dung.

Oh, he prayed the gathering wouldn't continue to deteriorate any further. He twitched as raindrops continued to pelt his head ceaselessly. Avoid getting angry at any costs. Before turning around in a startled manner to see Twilightstar have fallen from the stone, he scrunched his muzzle. True, even the leaders experienced difficulties in this weather. Considering how great she was, Twilightstar landed without any issues. In fear of what may happen if the oldest of the leaders missed that landing, he pursed his lips. The deputy's perch caught his attention. Like a couple of flopped bunny ears, his ears lay flat against his head. As though they were a part of his pelt, they naturally blended in. Given his name, Stumpypoppy, he naturally resembled a wet rather than a fresh poppy.

Ashpaw followed behind Twilightstar and Fallownose, not wanting to fall behind. She really hoped she wouldn’t do anything dumb, considering the last time(technically the first time but who really gives a crap lol) she attended a gathering. This time would be different, young Ashie was sure of it. Her blurred, milky gaze scanned the seastones carefully.


Leaffall sat down once they arrived. Cleaning their paws, they waited for the leaders to speak. But not all of the leaders had arrived. The only leader besides Twilightstar that was here, was Pikestar, of RiverClan.

Rain. Why did it have to be rain? Soggy, thick pelt dripped with never ending torture seemingly sent from the very stars above. Snowybreeze had had a mind and a half to not come to this gathering, having been absent to every one since his first. It wasn't that he hated them - although he could certainly say he didn't love them, either - but he'd simply been far too preoccupied since then, preferring to spend the full moon nights by the camp's entrance with the hope that the brighter night sky would lead Deadmoon back home.

His hopes had come to nothing thus far, however, and this gathering was a bit different. It would be his first gathering since having received his warrior name. The massive tom was not one to brag, but he knew leaders tended to announce newly named warriors in the gatherings, and it would be a poor display of manners to have Twilightstar announce his own naming - if she did, the weather conditions being what they were he wouldn't mind if they skipped the thing entirely - and him not be there. Lost in his own thoughts, Snowybreeze missed WindClan's leader - admittedly graceful - fall from the leader's perch as he sat down by the clearing's edge, not wanting to block the view from any of the gathered cats with his obtrusive mass. Raising his broad head as water dribbled miserably from his soaked chin, the nearly white WindClanner blinked in surprise at the sight of Twilightstar sitting on the deputy's perch instead, tilting his head curiously.

Not catching the words but noticing the leader speak to their deputy, Snowybreeze shrugged, deciding it didn't really seem so outlandish all things considered. The leader had called Leechscar and Fallownose to sit with her before, and just last meeting, Fallownose had sat besides her on the Breezerock once more. Concluding that this was simply another such moment, the gentle giant decided to instead focus on his paws, which were currently encrusted with water logged sand, mud, and StarClan knew what else. Taking one paw to his face in an attempt to clean it some, the young warrior's eyes grew wide before closing shut, a shudder running down his spine as he hacked away at the foul, murky flavor. Giving a newly desperate glance at the leader's rock, knowing two leaders were still missing, Snowybreeze curled his once feathery - now whip like with the water clogged through every strand of fur - tail around his messy paws while sending a silent prayer to StarClan for this gathering to be over soon.

➻ WORMBITE || RIVERCLAN SHIELD || HE/HIM || Larissa
The rainfall was a welcome sensation to the Dark Lord. The dreary gloominess filled him with a sense of content - peace. Time felt less fleeting when the skies poured down on top of him. It was steady, the constant pitter-patter filled the dreadful silence. Wormbite felt a wince of anxiety that the soft rain may turn into thundering screams, but he whisked it away with a shook of his head.

The comfort he felt soon turned into an intense uncomfortable sensation as the soil turned into wet sand that clung to his fur, getting into between his toe beans and suddenly he was aware of everything. His skin felt as if it was lit on fire, spiders crawling about his fur and Wormbite felt as if he had to gag. He came to a halt, lifting a paw and shaking it with a sense of desperation. Bad. Bad.

He. Did. Not. Like. This.

He pushed through, seeming to attempt to walk on the tips of his paws with a quick pace. There was a startled honk and Wormbite's head shot up, eyes enlightening with worry, but all seemed to settle. Besides his own woes.

The oriental limped closer, attempting to find a patch of soil - something, anything that was not... this. This hellscape.

Instead, he stood closely behind Goldensnake. Uncomfortably close. Where if the molly was to turn around, she would almost be touching her snout against his. Almost. Wormbite didn't have heightened senses because he lacked one. No, the only differing factor was he simply .. made more attention to his other four. Despite how quiet, his misshaped ears perked up at the soft sound of .. Pukestar and other murmured words he couldn't make up.

Either Goldensnake had a speech impediment or was going need to start apologizing profusely. "..What?" Wormbite spoke lowly, cocking his head to the side, misty eyes narrowing with distaste. "Would you like to repeat that?"

[Abyssopelagic]

Lilyantler trudged to the Gathering, grumbling something fierce under his breath that was actually quite uncharacteristic of the lanky tom.
He couldn't help but wonder why he bothered on this night of all dreadful nights to even take a step out of the warriors den. All this rain did his old bones no favors, especially as his paws nearly slipped in the muddied patches where other cats footfalls had disturbed the grass, revealing its slick treasure in all its dangerous glory. He eventually got it in his head to take the long way around, if only to avoid falling.
A bad fall was the last thing he needed.
For once in his life, he envied the forest dwellers and the shelter their trees provided from this miserable wetness his once beloved sky had cursed them with.

Lilyantler found himself somewhere, anywhere, that didn't have mud tracks already strewn about. He slumped into place with a sigh, desperately hoping the other Clan would be quick, or else he'd claw their ears for their tardiness. Their leader's, at least.

Cowpaw bounced happily after the two highranks, carrying two small branches of berries. He dearly hoped this was a good amount. His memory tended to be fickle - he couldn't quite remember if Fawnpaw simply wished to see the berries or would appreciate actual having said berries. Sundust and Roseraven were a yes, though, and Ivysnake had... been very. Very, quite firm on a no.

There was a quite a bit of rain dripping and dropping on top of them at the moment. Uhm, he did hope berries could be wet? Cowpaw... did not know. If they could survive leaf-bare, surely, rain was alright. Despite this logic, the feline made attempts at keeping them as dry as possible. Unfortunately, his long fur was beginning to cover his eyes as it became wetter.. Aaa.. goodness, and it was so slippery! Cowpaw truly was not built for this weather. He hoped the rain did not take offense. The rain was very nice, and he appreciated it, it gave life to the evergreen around them ... it filled the rivers, cleaned things so they were nice, but ... this was indeed a struggle.

The soil was beginning to turn into mud also which just, golly, his white legs was getting turned into brown! A muffled whine of dismay came from him, waddling over to the spot he was to sit at. Simple routine, simple routine. It was a bit of a shame he didn't seem to get the chance to mingle with cats from other clans but, his fellow medicine cats were enjoyed company. He could not complain. He was beginning to resemble less of a gentleman and more of a ... wet mop. This was very unpleasant.

With a dreary sigh, he set his berries onto the wet sand. If.. his paws weren't muddy, he would... put them on his paws but unfortunately, wet sand was better than mud. He licked his paw, blergh, and brought it over his head to push his fur back - offering him better eyesight. Blink, blink.

.... Strike him like a pig on a lightning rod, what poor manners he must have, mother would shake his head. While not on purpose, Cowpaw hadn't even noticed one of the medicine cats had already been here! He seemed like a deer caught in headlights, staring wide-eyed and confuzzled at who this may be. His sniffer was a bit distracted by the rain, uhm, he was slowly tilting his head to the right. Uhm. Brown. Brown.

Very brown cat.

but he knew two cats who were very brown and happened to be medicine cats.

Cowpaw's gaze flickered down to spot faded darker brown legs and his shoulders seemed to relax, a smile coming across his face. Looking back up, he lifted a paw to wave at Fawnpaw, a happy mrrp coming from the tom. Hopeful she did not mind how rude he had been being on accident, he dipped his head in respect.

.. She had very blue eyes. Perhaps, the bluest he's ever seen.

He had a hard time remembering ... faces. He could remember features at times if they were something distinct. He enjoyed seeing how features differed. Yet, Cowpaw never seemed to be able to fully remember these features to create the memory of a full face. Maybe with time he would get better at it like everyone else. He was sure that the was case.

It was... simply divine how every cat varied. Had their own strengths and weaknesses. Fascinating.

He lifted a paw to gesture to his eyes and then the sky before blinking slowly at Fawnpaw to express his appreciation for them. "Your... eyes look like... the sky.... it's really neat..." And Cowpaw wondered if her hues to would turn stormy if she was ever upset. He hoped she never was. Good cat. Reminded him of Rockwing, also very good cat. (He wondered how his sibling was doing..)

Moving to the gathering a little bit behind most of her clanmates the older apprentice was a bit nervous. This was her first gathering ever. Or at least as far as her[and Bliss/Ang] can remember. She stayed close to Riverclan up until she actually got to the main part. Then she moved over to the outskirts of everyone and sat down. Falconpaw still wasn't used to too many cats. While she was away there was just her.

Lynxyowl trailed behind Twilightstar and Fallownose, entering into the gathering. She took her place and sat down, taking in everything. She watched the leader go sit next to RiverClan's deputy, Gingerfrost, but decided not to question it. It probably wasn't worth questioning, anyway.

Water logged fur clinging to the muscly tom's frame, Snowybreeze gave his head a mighty shake, attempting - in vain - to remove some of the excess water from it. Whether the process had been successful or not was impossible to tell, however, as soon more water ran down between the tom's blue eyes, his ears heavy with the incessant rain drooping lightly as he realized there was really no escaping this torrent. Shifting muddy, messy paws uncomfortably on the sand below, a voice besides him soon caught his attention, droopy ears perking up slightly as he turned to look at his companion. The gentle giant's miserable expression soon morphed, offering a small, apologetic smile in greeting as he recognized Ashpaw besides him. Had the apprentice been sitting besides him the entire time and he'd been so self centered as to not notice her? Snowybreeze certainly hoped not! That would be an irredeemably rude action to impose on his clanmate, especially one as kind and as hardworking as the apprentice next to him now.

"Ah, yes," Snowybreeze mewed softly, his words barely louder than the falling rain, a conscious effort being placed on his part to ensure he could at the very least be heard above the pitter patter of the torturous punishment from the stars above. "I thought it would be rude not to. Attend I mean. My first gathering as a warrior."

Feeling rather silly and bashful at his explanation, the tom raised a paw by instinct to rub the back of his head, the feeling of ick, mud, and clogged up sand against his ear quickly making him regret the action as a disgusted look marred his face, an offended, betrayed expression etched clearly on his features as he - almost - glared at the offending limb. Sticking his tongue out at his paw with revulsion before placing it back down on the sand below - the squishy texture of the ground forcing another shudder down his spine - he turned back to the white furred apprentice, flicking an ear in apology at his sudden clumsiness shifting his focus from her. Most rude of him, really. Especially after she'd come join him to check up on him in this foul weather. Hoping to make up for his transgression, the patched warrior tilted his head curiously, his attention on her now.

"How have you been? Has your training been going well?" Snowybreeze mewed amicably, his gaze softening at the mention of training. From what he knew of Ashpaw, she was a very responsible, hard working molly that was eager to learn. Ashclaw was certainly lucky to have such a dedicated apprentice! Her commitment to work and learn, however, worried the massive tom a little, remembering how she had remained quiet during their last lesson despite the horrendous cold no doubt getting to her, her steps stiff with pain as they remained outside, only willing to stop once Snowybreeze had suggested a rest himself. He was glad to see that she seemed to be better rested today, however, at least if she'd had the energy to attend the gathering under these terrible conditions.

The Calico sighed as she looked for somewhere to sit. She begun to look around, ew. Windclan was arriving, and they seem to talk alot!!!! Oh hell no, RedHaze quickly trotted towards the edge of both clans. She wanted to be away from everyone, and yet close to GoldenSnake. This was gonna be a pain. Red found a cute little perfect spot for her to sit. Shifting and pivoting her body, she went to spot and sat down.

Inspecting the grounds as the cats began to walk in she huffed and puffed. breathing softly as she looked for something to do. She didn't like hearing Pikestar's voice. She would gladly listen to any cat other than him. RedHaze began to watch little birds play with each in the sand.

❗ ————— ୨୧ —————❗

[taillow]

Fawnlight
One of the first things she took notice of was a cat coming back into camp who she hadn't had the chance to speak to about resting. Though she had thought common sense might prevail, it appears it did not. Fawnlight's worried glance cast over to Lilyleaf and she rose to her paws. The thought about having the warrior go back to camp rose to her mind, but in all honestly it would be better for her to simply sit here and wait. She would be able to help her back to camp after the gathering. Plus, she didn't wish to break up the reunion between mother and daughter.

Taking a seat once more the medicine cat continued to scan the crowd. There were murmurs and ripples of shock in reaction to her brother's fall, which wasn't surprising. Most were concerned, and one cat seemed rather annoyed (though this was the same cat who had yawned during her meeting so she felt no need to grace them with a thought if they wanted to be a sourpuss - besides, her uncle seemed to be handling it) but overall it seemed that it would slip by as just a misstep. After all, the rocks were slippery and even the most agile cats were likely to slip.

"He just slipped, everybody," she called out to those closest to the situation, asking if he was alright. There was a lightness to her voice that hopefully conveyed there was no reason for concern. A soft nod followed it up.

Blue eyes found a familiar black and white pelt, and Fawnlight lifted her tail in an attempt to wave hello to her best friend before frowning lightly. He seemed dejected, like something was bothering him. For once she wished she was just a regular warrior and could go check on him, see what was wrong. But her position kept her glued to her spot at the bottom of Seastones, unfortunately. There was always after the gathering, too.

Soon enough WindClan arrived, with Twilightstar making her way over to the rocks. The eldest leader tried her paw at the rocks, but they proved to be slippery to her as well so she took up camp with where the deputies sat. Fawnlight watched her with admiration shining in her gaze. Rumors swirled that Twilightstar had been alive for quite some time, long enough to watch various seasons pass by. It intrigued her, what knowledge the lilac leader held. After her conversation with Goosefury, the young RiverClan medicine cat wanted to know as much as she could about the Clans. Stars, what she wouldn't give to have an afternoon with the leader to simply pick her brain and hear stories of the Clans during the older times.

Shortly after Twilightstar came Cowpaw, and she smiled as the medicine cat came and sat down beside her. In his jaws he carried what appeared to be juniper berries? That was the only thing Fawnlight could think of. Though he didn't say anything at first - but she didn't take offense. With the rain pelting down it was likely hard to distinguish anything besides ones own paws in front of them. So she just waited, the light smile on her face as her paws tapped the wet sand in anticipation.

"Hello, Cowpaw!" she greeted in joyful fashion, blinking away the water that fell onto her face and flicking her ears to rid herself of the droplets above. She watched carefully at his gestures, first to his own eyes and then to the sky before blinking slowly. Heat filled her ears - was he talking about her eyes? "Oh, thank you Cowpaw. I like them too. I think my mother also had blue eyes." She couldn't.... quite recall. She had been so young the last time she had seen Daystripe, and the memory of what her mother looked like was unfortunately fading each day.

But rather than dwell on that, she picked up her leaf and bent her head to set it down in front of Cowpaw. "Here! I brought this for you. It's an oak leaf. I am not sure if it helps with anything, but it was a really pretty orangish brown color and, well, I just wanted to thank you for the one you gave me at the half-moon meeting." A small smile stretched across her face as Fawnlight nodded, hoping that her gift was alright.

Her second Gathering. That was the first thought Berrypaw had had when she'd followed Twilightstar and Fallownose from camp. Of course, if Berrypaw was bolder, she would have tried to stick to the deputy's side. But instead she contented herself to watching from far away, mismatched gaze glued on the tom who had seemed to become one of Berrypaw's favorites over the few times they'd spent together. It made the speckled molly wish she knew her real father, not to compare them, but so that she could... At least be content that her father was anything like the deputy she so admired.

As her slender paws carried her to Seastones, Berrypaw found that there was something more dreadful than having to meet the other Clans. Rain. It soaked her fluffy, curly fur to the bone, leaving the small molly looking like a drenched rat. Well, in her defense, a drenched, spotted rat. What wasn't helping was the sand, squishing unpleasantly underneath her paws and getting stuck between her toes. Gah.

Cringing, the speckled damsel quickly scanned Seastones for some shade to sit underneath. But unfortunately, she saw none, so instead Berrypaw moved a little into the crowd and sat down where she was, cringing slightly at the prospect of getting sand all over her haunches. Well, if she didn't move a muscle until the Gathering was over, she couldn't possibly get any more sand on her, right?

[Twinkle]

Ivyclaw watched the other cats, annoyed by their presents, she was very introverted and hated all the noise.
her fur was bristling with tension as cats passed her, she didn't want to be here, though she was interested to see what the leaders would have to say.

[Ian]

Fallownose followed after Twilightstar, his ears lowered against the rain. His slate-gray fur clung to his body, though luckily, the fur on his underbelly wasn't long enough to drag through the wet sand. That would've been even worse than just being wet.

The deputy had to resist shaking his paws after every step to get rid of the wet sand, knowing it wouldn't do any good. He risked a quick glance at Twilightstar and noticed she didn't seem pleased and was very clearly trembling. Fallownose frowned slightly at that. This weather wasn't good for anyone, but Twilightstar seemed extra affected. She'd been through worse, so hopefully, the WindClan leader would manage.

As Twilightstar paused at the base of the Seastones, Fallownose also paused to watch, wondering why she was hesitating. It became apparent when she attempted to climb up, and her forepaws immediately slipped, though she quickly recovered and was now... taking his spot?! NOOOO. That was his spot! He had claimed it! So not fair. Why couldn't she have sat in Copperfire's spot or the empty spot where ShadowClan's deputy usually sat???

Well, at least she offered to trade spots with him, but Fallownose did not fancy trying it out after seeing her slip. Plus, Dawnstar probably wouldn't take too well to someone who wasn't the leader being up there, and he didn't feel like starting a fight at the Gathering. With a petulant grumble, though the amusement in his eyes made it clear he wasn't serious, he hopped up beside Twilightstar. "I don't see why you couldn't have taken Copperfire's spot." Was Fallownose pouting? Yes. Did he care? Nope! And if he sat a little closer to Twilightstar to conserve space for the other two deputies (assuming ShadowCaln had got one) as an excuse to help her stay warm, no one needed to know.

⋗ GLOWPAW; she/they - 3/100

it's her first gathering, and glowpaw is already absolutely miserable. ginger and white fur clings to her frame, soaked from the rain. she treks across the land, following behind her clan, eyes glued to the muddy ground. if she looks up, and sees that there's already a clan (or all the other clans) there, she fears that she may pass out. or worse, start crying. the only problem is now, since they've reached the beach, she has to watch her paws slowly become stained from the mud and sand. great..., she thinks gloomily.

everyone starts to split off, heading where they want to, whether it's to chat with other clans or just sit down. they're pretty sure that it's only riverclan here, so far. still, the apprentice feels nauseous and they regret coming along. she stands still, frozen with uncertainty (where should she sit? should they sit at all? should they talk to someone), and cold. "o..okay..one..step at..a ti-time.." she murmurs, squeezing her eyes shut. she just needs to find a place to sit.

they can only hope that someone doesn't come and talk to them once the do find a seat. the thought of it makes their pelt prickle with anxiety, gulping. hazel eyes slowly glance upwards, then quickly look back to the ground once she sees just how many cats there are. why did they decide to come?? what went through their mind? she can feel her chest tighten, forcing herself to take a deep breath and sigh.

one pawstep at a time, glowpaw manages to find a seat that's somewhat secluded, and sits down. she cringes at the thought of her fur getting further stained by the mud, along with the feeling of the wet sand between her toes. it momentarily distracts her from her anxiety surrounding the idea of all the cats, if only for just a few minutes. frowning, she keeps her shoulders hunched and head low, ears folded in disdain.

"Good morning Cinderpaw" meowed a sooked Deadnight "i hope this rain lights up or stops soon"



Sunspirit paddled over towards Slatestripe, her golden ears flat against her head as she walked over, but she had a happy air about her. sitting down she watched the leader in concern "Slatestripe... i Feel kind of sorry for Pikestar... First his sickness, and now falling off the seastones. But he's a strong leader isn't he? one of the best... " Sunspirit shook out her wet fur "at least the rain is better then ice no?" she sighed, as her golden eyes looked about the clearing with mind interest

https://i.ibb.co/4NzjzpV/cooltext417752208482045.png

Slatestripe turned his head as he heard pawsteps approaching. No other Clan had arrived yet, so he knew it was a RiverClanner. Sunspirit sat down beside him, expressing concern and admiration for Pikestar.

Slatestripe glanced back in the direction of Pikestar. “He’s been through a great deal as of recent, that’s for sure. He lacks the confidence of Lionstar and the brutal dedication of Kestrelstar, but he’s doing well. I appreciate how open he is to hearing other cats’ ideas and feedback.”

Slatestripe’s attention was grabbed as the airy, grassy scent of WindClan hit his nostrils. He twisted his neck to watch the plainsrunners approach. Out of all three of the Clans, he felt the least negative about WindClan. That didn’t mean he liked them, though. RiverClan was the only Clan he thought deserved to be in the forest.

He narrowed his eyes as Twilightstar stumbled up the Seastones and… sat among the deputies? What in StarClan? Has that old bunny lost her senses? I hope WindClan isn’t so pathetic that they would let a cat with dementia be their leader.

Fallownose and Cowpaw followed close behind their leader. Slatestripe noted that WindClan’s medicine cat was taking an especially long time to get his full name. Fallownose and Twilightstar appeared to be exchanging words, probably about why the WindClan leader wasn’t in her place.

Duskstream walks around quietly, looking around at all the cats talking among themselves and soon he got tired of just padding around so he sat down closer to some cats instead by himself I might as well try and make some new friends at this gathering.. he thought and he started to look around all the cats for who to talk to first..

**Doeheart**
Abyssopelagic

Leaving Elkkit and Firekit behind had been the toughest decision Doeheart had had to make in moons. The lilac queen was lagging behind the rest of Riverclan as she padded tentatively out onto the sandy beach. The last she'd seen they were, as far as she could tell, snuggled safely in their nest in the nursery. There were plenty of other queens and more than enough warriors still at camp. Besides, her last two remaining kits were nearly old enough to become apprentices, it'd be any day now. She knew she'd have to start letting them discover their own way, and she'd been more or less preparing herself for that impending day when it had been Elkkit and Heronkit...but then Heronkit...and Firekit returning...she couldn't imagine letting them go, letting them out of camp, out of her sight again. Firekit had already disappeared once and it was only by the grace of Starclan that she had returned safely. There was no such hope for many of her other kits...Falconkit, Heronkit, Brightkit, they were gone. And what would she do if the others never returned. Seeing Firekit had given her a renewed sense of hope for Magnoliakit, Flintkit, Bearkit, and Shellkit. But with only Firekit and Elkkit to hold onto, how could she possibly give them the freedom, and risks, of apprenticeship?

And thus, with her anxieties circling in her belly like snakes, she forced herself out of the nursery and after the rest of the clan towards Seastones. Her kits were growing older and there was nothing she could do to hold them back, keeping them young and by her side, so she knew she'd have to start somewhere in trusting them to care for themselves now, or else she'd be a disaster when they ultimately moved out of the nursery without her. She swallowed the lump in her throat and sat down, tucking her paws close in together after finding a spot among the other Riverclan cats. Windclan had also arrived, she was glad for it to have been Windclan. Though Twilightstar had called off their truce, Doeheart wasn't much entrenched in politics and Windclan cats still came off friendly to her. Thunderclan was hit or miss but Shadowclan put her on edge more often than not. She tried to focus her thoughts on the present leaders and the other cats around her but the conversations seemed to drone into one another creating a blurred murmuring that her mind couldn't decipher, though she realized she didn't much care. She was here to be out of the nursery and keep her mind on herself. As long as she could avoid fretting over her sleeping kits then she was doing fine...

Rain was Swiftheart's worst enemy. He hated the stuff, and now wished that he hadn't even come. It hadn't been raining when he had started, but now it came down as f StarClan itself were trying to wash them away. His thin pelt was drenched, the cold was kicking in. The sandy tabby was shivering violently, his heartbeat increased. He couldn't see anything, the rain was too thick! Shelter! Swiftheart needed to find some shelter fast! Breaking away from the WindClan group, desperate to find anywhere free of rain. He stumbled head on into a brown tom, who shoved him away grouchily.


Rabbiteye stared after the sandy tabby who was running around as if he were blind. Recognising him as part of his own clan, but not his name, Rabbiteye shook his head and continued on. Let someone else help him out. The rain did not bother Rabbiteye as much as it did some other cats, as often he would go for a late-night walk, even in the rain. Rabbiteye gave his leader a strange look as she took a seat with the deputies. Surely it wasn't that hard to get atop the leaders' rock, as Pikestar of RiverClan made apparent. But maybe his leader was simply feeling too old to climb the slippery mountain. The thought saddened him. A feeling he often had during the coarse of any day. Twilightstar was a good leader, and it would be a loss for all clans if... Rabbiteye shook his pelt of water as if it were his bad thoughts, the sat down in the rain-soaked sand.

Snowybreeze's eyes grew somewhat round in mild surprise at Ashpaw's admission, although if truth was the be told, he could very well empathize with the white furred apprentice. He'd been through the same ordeal when Deadmoon had first disappeared, wanting to get some training done to surprise her with his advancement once she returned in the hopes of making her proud - potentially proud enough that she would never leave again - but never daring to bother any of the warriors in camp. He'd been lucky, really, for those who did take him out, noticed him constantly cooped up inside the camp's walls, fixing them, cleaning, and just doing whatever task he could keep busy with and decided to take him out on a hunting trip, or for battle practice, or simply to run and get some fresh air and forget what troubled him for a while. While Ashpaw had merely mentioned forgetting her training, her attitude from before and her more reserved tone now made Snowybreeze draw the inevitable conclusion that the molly was simply being too mindful of her mentor's busy schedule, an admirable trait, showing clear patience, but no doubt hindering her training none the less.

Tilting his head with curiosity, the gentle giant wondered if there was something he could do to help Ashpaw out. Ashclaw would no doubt be on top of his apprentice's training if he had the time, but with the recent outsider threat it was easy to see how the gray warrior might have his paws full at the moment. Perhaps... he could follow the pawsteps of those who had helped him out once before? Surely Ashclaw would not mind his apprentice getting some hunting done with a fellow WindClanner, following the rules as a proper apprentice should as well as showing diligence? Why, he was certain if anything Ashclaw would be proud of the blue eyed apprentice!

Mind made up, Snowybreeze shifted his paws on the squishy - eugh, seriously... - sand below before speaking. "W-well... what would you say to you and I going out hunting later? With leafbare here, we could use all the prey we can get. And if you catc- no... when you catch something, you can bring it back to Ashclaw! You could bring up your training while sharing some fresh kill," the massive warrior suggested, a trace of shyness on his voice, not used to being so bold with...well, anyone really.

This was the right thing to do, though, wasn't it? Ashpaw was a dedicated apprentice, and although she had been a few moons younger than him, they had been denmates until just a moon ago. He would make for a sad excuse of a warrior if he couldn't be bothered to take out a fellow clanmate and former denmate out on a hunting trip as so many others had done with him. He'd had so much kindness shown to him as an apprentice, it was time to return the favor! As long as Ashpaw didn't mind or think him overstepping... that is.

Wow..the gathering. Silvermask approached the clearing, murmuring greetings to other cats. He watched as Twilightstar made her way through the sea of cats along with Fallownose and Cowpaw. Even through there were only two clans here, it was still quite full. He glanced around. Huh. Quite Crowded. Oh well.

Silvermask yawned and looked around to greet any other clans. The fishy smell and rabbity smell flew in the air. The big moon sat in silverpelt. It was beautiful. This was the one time he could see the stars.

She was here to be out of the nursery and keep her mind on herself. As long as she could avoid fretting over her sleeping kits then she was doing fine...

Aldermane shook his pelt when he felt too much water had accumulated and begun feeling dreadfully uncomfortable with how heavy his pelt was feeling. Thankfully, there weren't any cats he'd be unceremoniously drenching with his dog-like flailing in an attempt to dry off.
All he really succeeded in doing is making his monstrous mane of fur puff out like an unruly kit that'd been caught trying to swim on their own.
He grumped to himself and sat down to start the arduous process of taming his fur.

Once he was somewhat satisfied that he didn't look completely ridiculous, he returned to his normal sitting position, only to be caught off guard by the presence of WindClan.
Now, he didn't hate them or feel uneasy around them anymore than he was around the next Clan of cats, but he had been sure he hadn't taken that long to groom his fur.

Well, now that it seemed the time to find a real spot to stay in was running shorter, as now ThunderClan and ShadowClan couldn't be too far behind their windborne neighbor, he trotted closer to the Seastones themself in am attempt to find a half decent spot. He planted his flank maybe a tail length or two away from the closest cat.
After a moment, he recognized the cat as a Clanmate and turned to Doeheart.
She seemed rather frazzled and in need of some company, she he slid just the slightest hair closer and turned himself a bit in her direction to indicate he was interested in a conversation.
"Nice weather for a Gathering, huh?"
As if to make his point clear, a sudden drizzle of mist fell directly on his snout, making him blink rapidly at the sudden intrusion of his comfort and space, ears pulling backwards. He quickly used his paw to wipe the droplet off his face, nose twitching in brief befuddlement before returning his gaze to the other warrior.

Clearing his throat, and attempting to recover from the weather trying to make him look silly, he continued.
"I'm Aldermane," he offered as another conversation starter and official introduction.

Female[she/her] - Post 37

From where she was sitting she could still make out the leaders. She looked at the Windclan leader, studying her in case she ever met them either on a border patrol or a battle. Hopefully no battle. She had heard before that there was an alliance, but upon returning she heard it was no longer a thing. In her eyes it was good. Riverclan needed to start standing up for themselves.

Well that was enough of that though. Settling down she realized how boring it was here. It didn't seem all that great to her. What were they supposed to do again? Talk or did they just wait for the leaders to talk. Maybe someone would disrupt? Oh little did she know that happened many times before this one.

Falconpaw let out a yawn before giving her chest fur a few licks. She wanted to head back to camp, but something kept her here. She needed to see every cat. Then she could study each of them if she ever met them again in battle, if it ever happened. It didn't take too long for her to feel the presence of another cat nearby. A few fox lengths a cat sat down. They looked pretty nervous.

As much as she didn't want to talk to anyone she needed something to do to pass the time. Moving over to them, she kept herself calm and her fur smoothed down. She forced herself to give out the friendliest of smiles. "Hey mind if I sit next to you?", she asked with a low voice. She didn't want to freak them out more than they most likely were.

Sparrowstar's normally slicked back and neat fur was being absolutely *ruined* by this deluge. Random short curls and short tufts poked out as heavy raindrops ran down her pelt in rivulets and bits of soaking foliage brushed against her as she led Thunderclan down the familiar path to the Seastones.

Was it even worth it to come tonight??? The rain had sounded so relaxing against the roof of her den, but actually having to traipse through it like some sort of forest-fish was anything but pleasant.

As the Seastones slowly came into view, the tan molly squinted at the lack of leaders atop the stones. However, a quick glance around showed the older Windclan leader sharing space with her deputy... Was everything alright? Well, she'd certainly find out soon enough.

Barely turning her head, she called out, "Behave Thunderclan. I don't think anycat is in the mood for nonsense tonight," before bounding out across the wet sand towards the stones.

Skidding to a stop rather suddenly at the base of the stones, Sparrowstar glanced up with an evaluating look at her usual spot... It looked rather slippery... But she was a Thunderclan cat, she could climb a stinkin rock. She spent her apprentice and warriorhood up in the trees all the time!

Huffing slightly as she narrowed her eyes and crouched back to prepare to spring, the tan molly pushed off the wet sand with as much power as she could muster in this miserable weather... and only her front paws reached the top. Back legs scrambling to find purchase below her, she latched her front claws into whatever crevices she could find atop the Seastones. After what seemed like an eternity of frantic feet kick (when in actuality it was probably only a few moments), her left back paw finally caught a slight overhang in the rock to hoist her the remainder of the way up.

Panting ever so slightly, Sparrowstar silently hauled herself up and shuffled over to her usual spot without looking at Pikestar. Stars, that was embarrassing...

Attempting to move on from that rather unattractive, fumbling display, the molly elected to just start grooming her pelt to try and appear at least slightly more presentable before she had to give any announcements.

Thunderclan has Arrived

[RavensCall]

Darkpetal(dark grey, almost black, tabby Tom with pale yellow eyes)
Darkpetal followed behind Sparrowstar. ThunderClan was here now. They arrived after WindClan, who arrived after RiverClan. He straightened his flower and groomed his fur. Look sharp, you’re at a gathering.

Echopaw(silver tabby transgender she-cat with copper eyes)
Echopaw couldn’t wait to head to Seastones. She wanted to ask a lot of questions. And that was a lot of questions to be asked and answered.

[Cinderspirit]

Duskhope sat quietly in the corner of the clearing, partly obscured by a bush. They didn't really like gatherings much, with all the cats and hustle and bustle. Slipping out from under the bush, they wandered down to the water's edge and watched as the full moon rose higher into the sky, scattering light across the turbulent ocean.

[Dirtfur]

Back at the Gathering again, Blazingpaw still smiling silly like sunrises ago. The droplets splattered against his teeth, but his excitement about going back to the Gathering kept him distracted.

When he finally arrived with some of ThunderClan’s cats, the apprentice strolled away from his group in search for interactions with felines from other clans.

Ugh. Rain. Alderstep should've just stayed back, though his hunger for hearing some clan news would always persist. It was odd that he, an asocial cat, looked forward to the gossip sessions, but here he was, wasn't he? Alderstep supposed it was just his simple connection to the clans. Plus, wherever the clan went, the warrior had the inclination to follow.

Despite Sparrowstar's reminder to behave, Alderstep would readily claw off the face of any cat from another clan that tried to talk to him. Okay, that was an exaggeration amplified by the horrid state of the weather. The russet tabby shook out his pelt, which didn't help, and tried to find a dry spot to hang out by. His eyes flitted across the area, wondering if his apprentice was somewhere in the crowd. Probably gossiping with some cats. Alderstep impulsively rolled his eyes before remembering he was at the gathering, too. He sighed softly and shifted his weight.

"Tonight better not be a nuisance," he muttered under his breath. It was already beginning to feel like one, though. ((open))

[Undertaker]

Prowling out of the shadows, the battle-scarred she-cat made her appearance nearly on ThunderClan's heel. Dawnstar blinked her eyelids rapidly and then shook her crown to shake the extra water from her eyes. Unlike the other clan leaders who looked rather washed-out and miserable, Dawnstar didn't seem to care much at all about the rain or the weather in particular. She was a little surprised that a gathering was being held tonight of all nights, the moon was barely visible one would think these furballs would be more concerned about StarClan's scorn than speaking about the clan news.

Dawnstar's eyes were drawn immediately to the deputies as soon as she noticed WindClan's presents but no clan leader on the stone. She found Twilightstar's lilac pelt easily enough, as for why she was huddling among the deputies. Dawnstar hissed softly under her breath and turned her gaze to the higher stone where she watched Sparrowstar trying to scramble up sloppily. Ah, that explains why Twilightstar wasn't up there.

The leader chuckled softly, shaking her head, unlike the others, Dawnstar sprang up onto the stones with seemingly little difficulty. She was used to the unstable and wet landing, living in the murky marshland helped. She'd admit, her claws did glide against the rock, but she righted herself without making a complete fool of herself, regaining her balance without too much difficulty. The huge feline turned and took a seat facing the clans, although her gaze dropped down to Twilightstar with contempt.

"Bunnystar, I understand that you're old and all, but have you grown so senile that you've forgotten your place." Dawnstar snarled, mostly just to see if she could aggravate the bunny leader. Twilightstar was a mere pawful of moons older than Dawnstar and Dawnstar could easily be considered young for a clan leader, or old she supposed with how easily ranks come and go these days. She and the bunny just managed to hold their ranks longer than the other high ranks, hence the whole seniority thing.

ShadowClan's Here

[Alchemist Kitsune]

https://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=4850&pictureid=34085

A sigh of relief escaped the young warrior at Ashpaw's happy response, glad that he had not overstepped any boundaries. He certainly did not want to seem patronizing in his offer to go hunting with the apprentice. Especially considering she seemed to be having troubles getting together with her - no doubt busy - mentor for some proper lessons. There was also the fact to consider that Snowybreeze's hunting methods were different to most WindClanners's, his broad mass and white pelt making him unable to hide as efficiently in the grassy moors and far too slow to chase down prey as efficiently as his clanmates. He'd learn to make up for it, of course, but considering Ashpaw would no doubt have similar issues to him due to her similar pelt color perhaps he could teach her to rely on scent and the wonders of hunting downwind? These things combined with speed would no doubt give her a magnificent edge when out looking for fresh kill to add to the pile.

"We'll wait for better weather, then head out!" Snowybreeze mewed enthusiastically, a timid smile making his whiskers twitch before the scents of not one, but two clans reached his nose despite the downpour. Raising his head high to get a better look - while cursing the water falling in his eyes, blurring his vision - the patched giant soon saw ThunderClan arrive, their leader - or who he assumed was the leader as he shook water from his head in vain once more - seemingly struggling to climb the leader's perch. A sympathetic purr escaped the tom despite himself. The rock certainly looked precariously slippery in the foul weather. No doubt the reason their own leader had chosen to remain behind with the deputies.

ShadowClan arrived shortly after, not even the rain being able to fully mask the pungent scent they carried with them, Snowybreeze's oversensitive nose not really agreeing much with the evergreen trees and the everlasting smell they seemingly exuded. Another little purr escaped the tom at this thought, amused at his own pun. That one had been a bit of a stretch, even by his standards, but he still appreciated it none the less... especially considering he was far too bashful to say such lame jokes to most cats, Berrypaw being the exception. Barely able to see much of what was going on at the Seastones due to the water dripping down his brow, Snowybreeze curled his once feathery tail around him, coiling it like a water logged whip as if to try and shield himself in some way from the torrent. Not one usually for impatience, even he couldn't help himself from wishing the leaders would give their announcements with little drama today, the rain making this no hospitable place for any cat as far as he was concerned.

Shadowfur prowled into the clearing near the front of the group. The rain annoyed the tom to no end, but he wasn’t letting it show on his face. The huge tom strode through the gathered cats with confidence. This was his first Gathering as an Enforcer, and he wanted to put on a good display. ShadowClan needed to look strong, especially since this was their third moon without a deputy.

He sat down not too far from the Seastones. He was able to clearly see the leaders, deputies, and medicine cats for the first time in seasons, his vision unobscured by some other cat’s tufty ears or massive head. Sitting where he was, the shadows of the rocks almost rendered him invisible.

Larkfire
Post Count: 146/100

The pitter-patter of rain against her scalp should have bothered the young apprentice. Or perhaps, if not that, the sinking of her paws into the mushy sand should have fouled Larkfire's mood. But she was an amiable she-cat, not at all going to complain about mother nature being faulty at the worst times. Because that was what mother nature was for. To wreak havoc and chaos where it was least suspected. So naturally, Lark was not going to complain about a little rain, even if it was impossibly irritating.

The warrior enforcer's muzzle wrinkled with slight distaste as she lifted a once white paw off the ground, shaking it in the air in a hopelessly fruitless attempt to unclog the grainy sand that'd coated her limb. When that proved unsuccessful, however, Lark merely set her paw back on the ground and moved to stand in an empty corner. There was no way she was sitting down and getting stupid icky sand all over her pelt. It would undoubtedly take too long to clean off.

[Eaglet]

Thrushfur
He moved onward while kicking up the microscopic sand particles that became lodged in his paws. He felt strange, guiding the Thunderclan cats forward with Sparrowstar. Rather than being in the rear, this is quite strange. He was leading his clan forward from the front. Being the deputy, he already felt like he had a ton of burden on his shoulders as he made his way to the crowd and had to stand on top of a podium in front of everyone. He took a swallow as his clan approached the crowd. Just by being there, his paws nearly came off. His ears began to partially slip to the side of his head due to his excessive worry. He exhaled loudly, yet softly enough that no other cat noticed his peculiar breathing pattern. His feathery coat was covered in the wet rain that fell heavily. His fur was so thoroughly saturated that some of the moisture quickly even dripped off the points. He was now a deputy. He then looked for a seat. Fallownose, Gingerfrost, and Twilightstar are all there. He frowned a little but decided not to worry as Sparrowstar continued to ascend the Seastones.

As his body progressed toward the deputies' position, his paws tingled with utter excitement. Discovering the deputies from Riverclan and Windclan already seated. He experienced a slight sense of amateurism being around them. Despite the fact that he was a brand-new deputy, he was quick to bind up the rocks. Sparrowstar was already having a lot of trouble with the slippery rocks, so he was taking extra care to prevent his toe pads from sliding. He bowed his head respectfully in the direction of the two deputies. Due of his utmost regard for Twilightstar, the leader of the Windclan, he dipped his head considerably more. He took a careful seat and wrapped his tail over his paws. He truly lacked the words to say, Nice weather we're having? in this circumstance, or perhaps do you come around here often? For a brief period, he wanted to strike up a conversation. But he believed that the rain would largely drown out his speech.

His gaze briefly darted to the profusion of cats below him. From up here, he had a fresh perspective on everything, and all of his eyes were fixed on the cats perched on this rock. and only this rock. Jeez, he felt.. extraordinary. The tip of his tail twitched, but he quickly restrained himself from adopting a bold attitude. Naivety may attack him at any time, thus it was also his responsibility to make sure he didn't think too much about foolish things. All that matters is that he was deputy here, not a clanmate.

Aldermane shook his pelt when he felt too much water had accumulated and begun feeling dreadfully uncomfortable with how heavy his pelt was feeling. Thankfully, there weren't any cats he'd be unceremoniously drenching with his dog-like flailing in an attempt to dry off.
All he really succeeded in doing is making his monstrous mane of fur puff out like an unruly kit that'd been caught trying to swim on their own.
He grumped to himself and sat down to start the arduous process of taming his fur.

Once he was somewhat satisfied that he didn't look completely ridiculous, he returned to his normal sitting position, only to be caught off guard by the presence of WindClan.
Now, he didn't hate them or feel uneasy around them anymore than he was around the next Clan of cats, but he had been sure he hadn't taken that long to groom his fur.

Well, now that it seemed the time to find a real spot to stay in was running shorter, as now ThunderClan and ShadowClan couldn't be too far behind their windborne neighbor, he trotted closer to the Seastones themself in am attempt to find a half decent spot. He planted his flank maybe a tail length or two away from the closest cat.
After a moment, he recognized the cat as a Clanmate and turned to Doeheart.
She seemed rather frazzled and in need of some company, she he slid just the slightest hair closer and turned himself a bit in her direction to indicate he was interested in a conversation.
"Nice weather for a Gathering, huh?"
As if to make his point clear, a sudden drizzle of mist fell directly on his snout, making him blink rapidly at the sudden intrusion of his comfort and space, ears pulling backwards. He quickly used his paw to wipe the droplet off his face, nose twitching in brief befuddlement before returning his gaze to the other warrior.

Clearing his throat, and attempting to recover from the weather trying to make him look silly, he continued.
"I'm Aldermane," he offered as another conversation starter and official introduction.

[Hi, yes, one goofy introduction for you lol]

**Doeheart**
[Sorry this took a couple days!><]

Fogged within her own mind, the lilac queen was unaware of most of what surrounded her. The buzz of cats engaging in their small talk felt like the current of the river, ever droning, carrying her along easily, and the drizzle slowly drenching her pelt went unnoticed. It wasn't until a voice, so much closer than she'd thought any other cats were to her, spoke and something about it made it cut into her thoughts as if she knew it was directed at her. Her soft amber eyes switched quickly, startled, in the warrior's direction. Recognition came slow and she was given a moment to realize just how much edge had been lost by her time in the nursery and the fog of grief and worry. She couldn't remember ever being so easily caught off-guard. She'd always been a trusting cat but never oblivious, Until now, she conceded blandly. At his question, Doeheart turned her nose up to the wet sky then looked back at him. Had she been so cooped up that she'd let go of keeping up with her clanmates? Why was his name escaping her? Her worries were momentarily forgotten by the tom's reaction to what she assumed had to be a droplet that she'd missed. She felt the smile but quickly realized it hadn't extended to her mouth and a flush spread through her. How ridiculous must I look? Just staring at him. The small smile she'd felt was now gone but she forced a smile nonetheless, suddenly self-conscious. Was smiling even the right thing to do in that moment? Did it look as completely phony as it felt? Why was this so difficult? She swallowed and, as if just now realizing that it was dreary outside, she shook herself roughly, lifting her back end as the inertia drove her forward. It was only after she settled back down and looked to the tom that she realized how close he was and the inevitability of the spray from her coat catching him. The flush beneath her pelt deepened and she looked away from him as he told her his name. Aldermane, she silently thanked Starclan that he'd mentioned it, saving her the complete embarrassment of him finding out she was completely clueless. This time she did smile, though she hoped it came off as a standard smile of greeting rather than the smile of relief and embarrassment it felt like. "Doeheart. I, uh...I've apparently been stuck in the nursery too long. Talking to grown warriors is so...odd, I'm a bit out of practice, I think. I'm sorry," she meowed through breathy laughs, not meeting his eyes until her words cut off.

[Pitou]

**Elmshadow**
Shadowclan Medicine Cat

His broad pawsteps felt muted against the wet ground and he let his claws slide out to get a better hold against the mild slip. His black ears flicked intermittently to dispel the clinging droplets. He glanced toward the dark sky, black and shadowed thought the moon still peeked through. He didn't give it a second thought as he followed Dawnstar out onto the soggy beach, taking in the other clans who'd all seemed to arrive before them, though Thunderclan was still filtering in so it didn't seem they'd gotten here any earlier. His green eyes stopped on Twilightstar, taking Fallownose's usual spot at the base of the Seastones. His ear flicked but he let the questioning go without dwelling and turned his attention to the medicine cats who'd arrived already, though it seemed Fawnpaw was the only one so far. It didn't affect him, Fawnpaw or the lot of them, he had no desire to make conversation so with only the young Riverclanner he was less likely to be pulled into conversation. He got the feeling in the few encounters he'd had with the young medicine cat that she wasn't particularly comfortable interacting with him; that suited him well enough. Though he had to admit something seemed different. It wasn't as much her appearance as some vibe that was coming from her. Maybe she was simply carrying herself differently. He was sure he'd find out sooner rather than later once other medicine cats began showing up and sparking the small talk. Without making any direct eye contact, his green eyes skirting over her as though he didn't see her, Elmshadow turned and sat down in the same vicinity but looked up to the Seastones as Dawnstar was making her way up the wet perch.

[Pitou]

**Cougarivy**
Shadowclan Enforcer Commander

The small she-cat set her bouncy short steps to match the pace of Elmshadow's long, fluid strides. She'd seen him leaving camp early in the crowd of Shadowclanners; it'd been a pleasant change of pace and so she hurried to catch up to him. She was carrying his kits now and they were the power couple she always knew they could be, it only made sense that they started flaunting it. He couldn't very well deny his feelings for her anymore, not with his kits only days from being here. She let a small shiver run down her spine, using the energy to shake the water clinging to her pelt then hurried to catch up to Elmshadow. As they walked out into the sands of the gathering, Cougarivy took in a deep breath of the heavy, salty air. It was a new day, another gathering but a whole new start and she felt every bit of regality as she positioned herself staunchly at Elmshadow's shoulder. She kept with Elmshadow's pace as he took his seat near the other medicine cat. She glanced at him but he hadn't looked at her, hadn't made any acknowledgement of her presence at his side, but she knew he knew she was there intentionally and the fact he hadn't motioned her away was egging her on. So she took the chance and took a seat beside him, her fur brushing against his as she turned and looked out over the gathered cats. She held her breath for a couple heartbeats, waiting to see if Elmshadow would send her away. When nothing came, her attention turned out to the gathered cats. It seemed all of the clans had arrived and she figured it was only a matter of time before something turned towards chaos or disruption.

[SpiritedWarrior]

Flameheart
Cherry~

Nervousness began to make her pelt prickle. She had been to Gatherings before, but being fifteen moons old, a cat who was barely out of warriorhood when gaining the Keeper rank, was a little unnerving. It wasn't like this at first, but this time was different. This time, she wasn't around just her Clanmates. She was around ShadowClan, WindClan, and RiverClan... wait. Unable to see ShadowClan among the other two Clans, Flameheart turned, wondering if they were coming at all since it was raining.

Huffing as she witnessed the large ShadowClan leader coming in right behind ThunderClan, the young Keeper decided to hold her tongue. This is a Gathering. I can't say anything rude to them... as much as I'd like to. She then spotted one of the rival Clan's warriors head toward the front of the crowd. Had Dawnstar finally picked a deputy? Eh... nope. Nope she hadn't... why am I not surprised?

"Good evening... may I ask who you are? I don't believe we've met. I'm Flameheart, by the way. ThunderClan's newest Keeper." she asked the large black tom.

Badgerpaw
Undertaker

Oh, dear... oh, dear... I'm late! Rushing in behind ShadowClan (because he had lost track of what was going on tonight), Badgerpaw gathered his thoughts and went to sit in front of the Seastones. He was just in time to see Dawnstar haul her way up onto her spot and mock Twilightstar for being... old. A small warning growl rumbled in his throat, "Dawnstar, with all due respect, please don't mock Twilightstar. It isn't her fault she gets cold easily."

As he spoke, a shiver ran down his spine. Addressing a leader, especially one as dangerous as Dawnstar, was no easy feat for someone like him. But he fought to keep his composure regardless. Twilightstar deserved to be backed up by her Clanmates. "I don't wish to be rude, but this is a Gathering, not a battle of wit."

Maplepaw
//Not open for interaction\\

Being at Gatherings was something he could never have imagined himself doing while under a different cat's rule than Dawnstar. He decided to keep to the back, away from any of his former Clanmates. They'd probably rip my throat out if they found out I switched Clans after I died...

[taillow]

Roanpaw
Practically materializing out of the shadows of the night and onto the beach underneath the dull night sky lighting was Roanpaw. Rain pelted down on him and while most were grouchy and irritable, he remained as blank and void of emotion as ever. Green eyes pierced through the crowd of cats as he set paw on the wet sand of the beach, pausing for a moment to survey the area. ShadowClan was the last to arrive, though with how ThunderClan was still trickling in, it was safe to say that they weren't all that far behind. His eyes lifted immediately to find his grandmother ascend to the top of the Seastones with little ease before falling once more to the crowd.

Oh. How bothersome. Narrowing his gaze slightly Roanpaw continued to stalk into the clearing. His ever-growing size now had him almost competing with the average warrior, massive paws leaving prints behind in the sand. All of the apprentices' focus went immediately towards the squawky individual who seemed to have a death wish with Dawnstar. Yelping about some comment that she had seemed to make towards Twilightstar. That simply would not do. It was kind of humorous how much this chirpy kit seemed to say. Did they not teach those in WindClan how to be silent?

In an instant Roanpaw was sliding up behind the cat, who smelled strongly of the moorland. His claws barely poked out from their sheaths, tail curling up behind him. There was no such thing as personal space as he aimed to brush up against the cat, turning to look at them with an eerie glance. "Away. Now." Though it was montone and short, there appeared to be a veiled thread concealed within the depths of his words. Green eyes bore into the cat, slightly wide and unblinking, the rain pouring down in no way phasing him.

Talk with Sundust over, Cinderpaw padded into the gathering. A blank look was imprinted on her face as she stayed with the now-dispersing crowd of Thunderclan cats.

Talk with Sundust over, Cinderpaw padded into the gathering. A blank look was imprinted on her face as she stayed with the now-dispersing crowd of Thunderclan cats.

As the Clans began filing in one by one, ShadowClan following closely behind ThunderClan, a familiar pelt caught her eyes. Cinderpaw. The apprentice Skystar had stolen from the squirrel-eaters. A sigh escaped her jaws as she remembered the sassy apprentice in her home. An overwhelming urge pushed her forward. She slowly began to move forward toward the ThunderClanner with an apologetic glance.

"Cinderpaw... is it? I... I wanted to apologize. While it was Skystar's fault... I can't help but feel pity. I wanted to let you know no one really agreed with keeping you with us for so long after the battle. And... I know you'll probably never forgive us. I can't say I don't blame you. If any of my kits went missing and ended up being prisoners in another Clan, I'd be furious too. Would you... like to sit with me? You don't have to talk if you don't want to. Heck, you don't even have to accept my offer. I just want you to know not all RiverClanners are... fox-hearted."

[perseus.]

Sorrelflare slinked from their spot within the Shadowclan cats, though his lips curled into a smirk when he heard Dawnstar. Truly that stupid leader of Windclan must have lost some of their memories with how old she was. Though his gaze narrowed on the apprentice that tried to speak out against Dawnstar, that little worm is brave but also stupid

Feeling her fur stand on end, Cinderpaw turned to look at the molly addressing her. She smelled strongly of fish, and hadn't seemed to get the message of her claws. It made her feel dizzy, making her think back to the days of fear stuck in that musty den and then the striking glint of the coyote's teeth, and--

She forced herself to breathe, taking in a shaky gasp of air. "No ap-ap-apologies start with about how it wasn't your fault. Thunderclan's u-used that one on me too many times for me to fall for it." A quiet snarl escaped from her lips. If she got in trouble for it, it was worth it - it was a rush, being able to take out her anger on someone one last time before becoming a husk. "I don't want excuses. I am not h-here to give you penance. You a-are causing more harm than you would have if you left me alone. Go. Away."

The apprentice was tired of pardoning people when she was still mad at them. She was tired of those apologies not meaning anything. She was tired of them not magically fixing her like all the kit tales told her. But, she had been placed here to live indebted, and Starclan's iron grip wouldn't let go of her any time soon.

Cinderpaw, understandably, was aggressive toward the RiverClanner. With a small dip of her head, the dark brown warrior sighed and backed away. It was no hope apologizing to someone who has not yet moved on from the trauma of her past. "I only wish to offer solace, but I respect your choice... good hunting, Cinderpaw."

The young warrior then turned around to go find someplace to sit amongst her Clanmates. Raising quite a few kits, the warrior understood when others wanted to be left alone. And although she could never grasp the concept of what Cinderpaw has gone through in her life, she knew it was a lot to handle.

The silver tabby glided up silently, finding a spot near her clan. She motioned with her tail for Butterflypaw to join her, to sit next to her. It was her apprentice's first gathering, after all. She did not want them to be left behind or lost. Also, she wanted the younger cat to stay warm, so pressing up against Frostmoon was the best idea.

Now, she began in a hushed voice. You must listen to all what the leaders have to say. If you have any questions, you can of course ask me, but wait until after the gathering, alright? She brushed her tail over the 'paw's head as a sign of affection.

Lilyantler glowered at the stupid, hulking figure that was ShadowClan's leader as she entered the Seastones clearing, carefully watching the fat lard make her way up the stones and was more than disappointed she didn't have the decency to slip flat onto her face, as she deserved.
Had the nerve to spoil the amusement he'd gotten from seeing the leaders slip like large kits on the stones.

He outwardly sneered as Dawnstar decided to be a further stain on the previously happy mood by hurling insults.
ShadowClan was a deserving name. Their lot, especially their leader, didn't seem to know when to keep a Gathering light hearted.

With the embarrassing slip-and-fall behind him now, Pikestar was thankfully for those who were quick to ask if he was alright, a bit relieved that his well-being was at least somewhat important to his own clanmates. His young sister, Fawnlight, didn’t hesitate to assure the crowd that the oriental tomcat had just taken a tumble and was actually quite fine. Aside from some stray sand still in his fur, that was entirely correct. Shaking his head and sending various raindrops in different directions, the tall RiverClan leader waited ever so patiently and silently for the other three clans to arrive at the storm-battered beach. And sure enough, the familiar pelts of WindClan soon appeared, led by Twilightstar, Fallownose, and Cowpaw. He watched with an unwavering eye as they approached, his held tilting to the side as the WindClan leader stopped at the base of the Seastones. She peered up at him, and Pikestar couldn't help but allow the thought to offer direct assistance cross his mind. However, they settled on the possibility that it would be seen as disrespect, or a sign of weakness, and kept their mouth firmly shut.

There was one single attempt, which failed, and then Twilightstar decided to sit with Gingerfrost on the deputies ledge. Could... they just do that? Was that an option this entire time? Stars above, if Pikestar had known that, then he wouldn't even attempted and make himself look like an utter fool in front of RiverClan. Ah, there was no reason to stress over it now. What's done was done. He watched with a slight smirk hinting on the edges of his mouth as Fallownose appeared a tad displeased (light-heartedly, of course) that his place had been compromised without a second thought. Pikestar was just grateful to see the WindClan molly not get hurt as he nearly did much earlier.

Next to arrive to the Gathering was ThunderClan, Sparrowstar leading them all with a bounding stride before halting before the Seastones. Once again, the oriental longhair watched to see what she'd do. The tan-furred molly crouched and then leapt with all her might, front paws snagging the top of the stones where he sat. He moved slightly forward, his gut reaction to try and help, but Pikestar refused once more to assist for the exact same reasoning as before. After a few very hurried moments of scrambling, the ThunderClan she-cat successfully made it to the top platform, though she avoided the large tomcat's gaze completely as she sat down. "I really think we should all come to an agreement to not have Gatherings during this type of weather." He spoke in a completely neutral tone, attempting to lighten the mood as Sparrowstar groomed her pelt. Pikestar was never the best at making other cats feel better when they were embarrassed, but the least he could was try. He left it at that though once they took notice that ShadowClan too had arrived at the beach, behind ThunderClan.

Unsurprisingly, though a little disappointing, Dawnstar had no trouble at all joining Pikestar and Sparrowstar atop the Seastones. In the back of his mind, he had looked forward to possibly seeing the large, scarred ShadowClan leader struggle to get up here, even maybe take a tumble like he had, but maybe it was for the best that didn't happen. Otherwise, he would've burst out laughing and risk losing his other eye...or much worse. Perhaps the marshland they lived in aided her in scaling such terrain. She wasted no time sending a loud snarl down to Twilightstar for sitting with the clan deputies, which Pikestar should've saw coming a mile away. The dark-furred RiverClan leader kept silent, knowing better to get involved with such things. He'd decide to let that whole...conversation...settle before they began this moon's Gathering tonight.

Shadowfur sighed internally as another Clan’s warrior approached him. From his position, mostly masked in shadow, he was hoping to get through this Gathering unbothered. But alas, that would not be happening.

The cat introduced herself as Flameheart, ThunderClan’s newest Keeper. Some sort of snide remark pressed on Shadowfur’s tongue, wanting release. He pushed it back, not wanting to aggravate another Clan when there was supposed to be a truce. Dawnstar might not care at all for the full moon truce, but he felt it was something that should be respected. However, he wouldn’t hesitate to hold his own if this cat proved to be annoying.

“My name’s Shadowfur,” he answered, his voice deep and intense. “I’m one of ShadowClan’s new Enforcers. He glanced in the direction of the Seastones, where a new cat had taken the spot normally claimed by Copperfire. “I see you’ve got a new deputy. Is Copperfire dead?” He wouldn’t be surprised if so; ThunderClan lost high ranks like they had a constant plague.

Hadn’t he just so happened to take a seat beside PebbleSplash. The RiverClan warrior was grooming herself under the little cover she had. After a few moments, she looks to the Tom and began to speak. “I’ve seen you here for quite a few moons, RoosterFlame, Is it?” She dips her head. PebbleSplash was that kind of cat you’ve heard the name of and couldn’t forget their face… at least that’s what others said. The tale seemed to be true though, for she had a rather unique pelt design… A very pale tortoiseshell tabby with bright blue eyes to accompany her fur. A smile appeared on her face, “Has prey been well in ThunderClan?” She asks.

--Hazelpaw--
The Siamese apprentice bounded to the Gathering with the ThunderClan cats, her blue eyes bright with excitement. Glancing around, she spotted Twilightstar sitting among the deputies, which was odd. But, luckily, that distraction meant she meant Sparrowstar's struggle to get atop the Seastones.

Dawnstar's arrival was a big affair as usual, and even though Hazelpaw wasn't a WindClan cat, her pelt still bristled in anger at the ShadowClan leader's insult. Who gave her the right to talk down to others?! Her claws dug into the sand as she glared up at Dawnstar, itching to sink her claws into her pelt.

The Enforcer stalked into the Seastones and immediately found a quiet place to sit. She didn't feel like seeking out anyone to interact with and had only come to hear the news from the other Clans.

Sagepaw grinned at the gathering of all the clans. It looked like ShadowClan had been last. Well, he had to begin searching for cats to talk to if he wanted to catch up! His green eyes scanned the Seastones, trying to find some other apprentices. He didn't want to talk to some grouchy warrior. He could just do that back at camp. Despite the ickiness of the weather, Sagepaw walked confidently among the other clans. He hoped to find someone to sit next to.(( ~Half-A-Witch-Ace~ ))

Cobwebpaw sat silently in quiet corner he'd managed to find. There was tons of cats here, He noted as his gaze swept over the crowd. He took in Notice Which where the Youngest and Which where the Eldest.
He noted with slight amusement that twilightstar was with her Deputy instead of the other leaders, and from the looks of it, either the riverclan leader had tumbled or go attacked by sand.

He didn't really care though for the yelling of Dawnstar, he really couldn't care less about what came out of his leaders mouth at the moment. He was, in a sense, in a peaceful mood, without the hustle and bustle of home, in a rather chaotic camp. really, it was quite tiring, but, he supposed, somethings could not be changed. He loved his clan, but they could be a little too extreme at times really.


Let the leaders Bicker all they wanted, from what he'd seen so far, leaders where quite angry 24/7 or quite Moody. Really drole, really drole. he flicked his ears back, in this rain, did they really have to gather? it was Wet and Yet everyone seemed fine with the chances of catching a cold in this cold, wet nightmare....

He was in time to see Dawnstar scale up the leader's rock. He ignored the fact that there were only three cats up there, despite there being four clans gathered. Maybe one of then had gotten themselves killed.

A storm wouldn’t be good for her clan, especially since they live so close to the water… The melting would flood their camp which would mean they would need help from the other clans… “But then again, maybe StarClan finally blessed us with an easy couple moons… my, I hope so…” she let out a soft sigh.

A moment of silence paused the interaction than PebbleSplash began to giggle. “Why am I, a RiverClan cat, hiding from the rain?”

~ IVYSNAKE OF SHADOWCLAN ~

Ugh, another Gathering. They happened way too often for Ivysnake's taste. The medicine cat apprentice padded at the caboose of her Clan, bored and uninterested as she scanned the large rock where the high ranks sat. All four leaders were there: Pikestar, his dark gray fur like a shadow in the full moon's light; Twilightstar, a small, lightweight shape compared to the others, her lilac-gray fur washed out; Sparrowstar, also washed out, her fur an absolute mess - Ivysnake didn't care much about appearances, but it seemed rather fitting for the ThunderClan leader; and the grandest of them all, Dawnstar, more of a hulking shadow than Pikestar could ever be. All of their eyes flashed, three full sets since Twilightstar and Pikestar both lacked one. Ivysnake's gaze shifted to the deputies and medicine cats. There was the squeaky coward Fawnpaw, the huge Cowpaw, and Ivysnake's dark-furred mentor, Elmshadow, but none of the others had shown their faces. Finally, the deputies. Gingerfrost, Fallownose, and... some other cat. As Ivysnake approached, she squinted at him, distinguishing a feathery-furred pale brown tom. What had happened to ThunderClan's old deputy? Not that she could bring herself to care. ThunderClan went through high ranks like a ravenous fox went through chicks.

The she-cat sidled up silently to the other medicine cats. It didn't matter how bright the moon and stars were tonight or how slippery the ground was due to leaf-bare's uncharacteristic weather. Her dark brown pelt, adorned with distinctive black tabby stripes, turned her into a living shadow, and she seemed to vanish before popping up unexpectedly beside the others. "I see ThunderClan's medicine cats haven't bothered to show their faces," Ivysnake meowed flatly. "I suppose we're all here to listen to the leaders give their typical reports and have some unnecessary drama break out." Her piercing amber gaze scanned the others. Fawnpaw appeared to have grown, in a way. Perhaps because she was older than the last time Ivysnake had seen her. "Anything worth mentioning from you other medicine cats?" she asked, her voice as emotionless as usual, yet it held a slight bite to it. "Or would you prefer for your leaders to make the announcements?" She glanced at the berries Cowpaw held between his teeth. "Interesting. Why did you bring those?" Ivysnake had more questions than usual, but she was asking what she wanted to ask, so it didn't matter.

Seapaw | He/Him | Riverclan - Apprentice |

Seapaw looked around for someone too talk too. Maybe a cat from another clan. He could make a friend from Thunderclan, or maybe Windclan. Suddenly his stomach growled, didn't he eat before he came here? Seapaw couldn't really remember, he looked around hoping he could find a cat too talk too before the gathering began. Food wasn't that important anyway ... well just not at the moment.

Brindleflower | She/Her | Riverclan - Warrior|

Brindleflower sat down with her tail neatly wrapped around her paws. She looked around, she didn't really want to talk with anyone, but a short conversation would be fine.

Lilylight | She/her | Thunderclan - Warrior |

Lilylight looks around, maybe she could talk to some-cat. That's what gathering were kind of for. For a time of peace and too hear what has happened too other clans. She wasn't going to go up to some random cat to talk to them though, that was for sure. Lilylight was going to patiently sit there until some-cat talked too her or until the gathering start.

[All open, short interactions for Brindleflower]

[Tess_Potter]

"What?! F-from who? You......" he blinks as he looks away letting out a sad mew. Maybe it's best that she found another cat than Fallenstep, because then there is no way she and he could be caught. Lowering his voice, be glances at her. "Thank you for telling me." He mews, his voice strained. He begins to stand, about to turn and walk away.

“They’re yours.”

[Spartan-117]

“They’re yours.”
He stares at her, his maw dropping open. Shaking out his fur, he cannot help but radiate inside. "Will you have them in your Clan... O-or mine?" He mews. There is no way he can join RiverClan. His loyalty is wholly in ThunderClan - no possibility in changing that. And it would not be fair to the others in his Clan if he betrayed them like that.

[MockingRabbit]

Willowlight cleared her throat not knowing what to say
Froststorm searched for something to say. "Your ear- Er, how did it get like that?" The ShadowClan tom said the first thing that came to mind.

[SpiritWolf_yt]

Willowlight Let a small snarl/growl escape then the molly eyes widened and stopped her voice" i-im sorry to growl at you" she meowed with her head down then sighing she lifted her head and looked at Froststorm" i got it when i was an apprentice my father always hated white cats for some reason, he didn't like it that i came to be a white cat he took me out into the territory because we were on a patrol he attacked me i fought back thinking i could take him but i was wrong i wasn't strong enough he torn my ear and gave me these scars, he was exiled after that and ever since then I never liked to talk about my past and the scars give me fear so i'm not brave" she meowed in a sad voice

Froststorm's eyebrows raised when Willowlight growled at him. He opened his mouth to apologies for asking, it was obviously something personal. The words did not leave his lips, instead his jaw just hung there as he tried to comprehend what she had just said. Was she bluffing? She didn't sound like it. "Wow, that's... Terrible!" He exclaimed. The grey-and-brown warrior thought for a moment. Eventually he spoke. "I like scars. They show that you survived."

The molly flicked her ear as froststorm spoke" they show survival but they also remind me of that terrible nightmare day i've been afraid ever since but i try to hide it" she meowed

Daintypaw padded into the gathering with a passive glance around before sitting down and listening silently. Maybe she would track a little apprentice down later. It would be so dramatic, murder at the seastones sounds so juicy.

⋗ GLOWPAW; she/they - 5/100

ears pinned back, glowpaw shuffles their front paws as a self-soothing tactic. though, it really only further stains their fur, causing them to sigh. they glance up momentarily, watching different clan high ranks arrive. more cats from each clan pour in, and the beach seems to become suffocating very quickly. she feels like an ant with a hundred twolegs around her. she sniffles, feeling tears begin to swell in her eyes. this is too much!! she thinks, ready to stand up and sprint back to her clan camp at any moment.

a sudden voice almost scares the apprentice out of their fur, squealing in surprise. they stare at the other apprentice wide-eyed, at a loss of words. the rain makes all the scents muddled - not that she's very experienced with scents anyway - so she's not sure what.. clan this cat is from. for all she knows, she could be a shadowclanner that could attack her any moment, in front of everyone. but.. the fellow apprentice is smiling and doesn't look mean, so she lets her guard down, though her anxiety is still high.

they blink, looking away, giving the smallest of nods. "uhm, you ca-can..sit..y-yes." the ginger tabby murmurs.

Sootfur sat on the icy sand of the Seastones, watching silently Flameheart talking with some black tom. Probably Shadowclan. He narrowed his eyes at him, sensing some hostility toward his mate. But he didn't want to step up to defend someone as strong and independent as her; and now she was a Keeper. He wouldn't want her to feel weak for his actions.

His tail flicked back and forth as deputies and medicine cats took their places under the Seastones. This time Roseraven wasn't here with Sundust. A faint memory of blood and shrieks revived briefly in his mind, but he shut them down quickly and tried to focus on his surroundings. So many cats... Maybe I should talk to someone instead of sitting here to become an ice statue. The gray tabby glanced around him, hopeful to find some cats who seemed interested in new interactions.

☼ Dovefluff ☼
she/her - shadowclan

The fluffy queen approached the Seastones. She had fallen far behind due to her kits being due in a few weeks, very literally weighing her down, but now she was here, her last gathering for a while. Unless she found a babysitter, which wasn't likely, since she probably wouldn't leave her baby's sides.

BUT she wasn't going to think about this now, because she needed to locate a Gathering buddy before the announcements started. What no one talked about, though, was how hard it was to find someone friendly at a Gathering when you were a member of ShadowClan. But she was trying anyways.

Spotting a gray tabby tom- a thunderclanner, she soon discovered under further inspection, she padded over and smiled in greeting, hoping that he would see that she had no hostile intent. Her Clanmates were really messing up her chances to make friends, like it was their life mission to be assholes to everyone. She would raise her kits differently. But for now, she had a friend to make. "Hello, mind if I sit? " Dovefluff began, dark blue eyes darting to the leaders before back to the ThunderClan tom. "I'm Dovefluff, and you are?" Hopefully it wouldn't seem to demanding. The heavily pregnant lass waited though for confirmation that she could sit before doing so.

Stonehollow was bad at paying attention to gatherings. Too much blah blah blah. When he was leader, he was going to make them exciting - he hadn't thought about how he would, but he WOULD.

He was spacing out when a few words caught his attention, and his eyes rested on a couple of apprentices. There seemed to be another warrior speaking to them, but Stonehollow wasn't into sour apples.

Bouncing over, he dramatically moved to throw his paws around both apprentices - the intent behind it was a 'group hug' sort of thing, but depending on how the apprentices took it he might eat sand instead of an embrace. "I LIKE YOU GUYS TOO!!!" Who cared about the code when it was just some pals together!

Mintpaw felt a choking sensation for a moment, a deep concern that she hadn't felt yet... "You waited... how much?" She asked confused, wondering how she could've survived without hunting.

"Why.. didn't you come back sooner? Why didn't you call out? I could.. have heard you..." Her voice trailed off as she pictured her mother injured, alone. Had she left the territory? Was that why none of the patrols had found her?

Despite the relief at knowing that Lilyleaf hadn't abandoned her and she was safe, Mintpaw wasn't completely happy with her mother's explanation. It's not like she couldn't be without her parent for a moon or two, but... Why? Why did you have to disappear like that?

Blue eyes showed emotion, but a thin layer of fog clouded them.


LilyLeaf
“Sweetheart, I…” She began, thinking about how to answer all of those questions. She saw the emotion in her blue eyes. “I came as soon as I could walk without excruciating pain. I was pretty far from the territory and I was able to fine a cat who helped me get some food!”

[Red Dawn]

How bored Nightspark was! There was to much talking, it was... annoying, he really hoped it would end soon... He yawned discreetly, avoiding anyone to notice him, he took out his claws and started to sharpen them, it's the only thing he could do right now...

A long furred gray she-cat was making her way toward his place. There was no one around him, so he guessed he might've finally found someone to talk with.
"Hello, not at all." He replied in a friendly tone, stepping a little back to make space for the queen. "My name's Sootfur, I'm from Thunderclan if you didn't already get it by the scent..." He joked, guessing that Dovefluff was Shadowclan. With every Gathering, it was becoming more and more easier to recognize each clan's scent even if so many different cats mingled together.

The gray tabby noticed something about the queen, but he wasn't sure if the she-cat would be glad for the question, so he chose a broader subject.
"You look a tad tired, Dovefluff. Are things running well in Shadowclan?" He asked gently, for this cat in front of him looked none like other Shadowclan cats he had seen. Certainly not like Dawnstar's followers, he decided.

Mintpaw felt tiny tears concentrate at the corners of her eyes, but they soon dried up as she tried to keep herself composed. She was injured... But she didn't forget me. She had been right all along. Lilyleaf wasn't like Doveskip. Suddenly some kind of hidden weight lifted off her chest, and her heart became a little more reachable for her mother.

The young she-cat stepped forward to inspect briefly the leg that Lilyleaf had broken; it had a different appearance, and honestly it didn't look as healthy as the other three. Did she get seen by Fawnlight? She wondered silently. But she didn't say anything, and rested her forehead briefly on Lilyleaf's with her blue eyes gently closed off.

For a few moments, the chaos and noises around them shut down.

☼ Dovefluff ☼

Luckily for her, she was welcomed to sit, and she sat down with as much grace as she could, still letting out a small mmph of relief. Maybe is she ever got pregnant again, she should do some let workouts so that carrying the kits wouldn't be so grueling.

"Nice to meet you, Sootfur." She said purring in amusement at his little joke. He must know what Clan she was from, right? Yes, he clearly did, from his next question. In all honesty, Dovefluff could ramble all night about how things weren't going well, but that wouldn't be the best, considering how this time was from another Clan. While she didn't care much for withholding information at a Gathering, she didn't want to risk a Clanmate hearing her and her getting into trouble. Or even getting killed or demoted or exiled- Dawnstar seemed to fancy the more harsh punishments.

Measuring her words gingerly, she sighed softly, chuckling to shake off her worries, and to make it seem more like it wasn't a big deal. "It's.. been a violent moon. Lots of um, unfortunate occurrences at the meetings and as hard as I tried to keep them from seeing it, no one really cares that the kits are witnessing things that would disturb a fully grown warrior." Maybe she babbled on a little. Stars, she hoped her kits wouldn't inherit her social skills, I instead hopefully they would receive their father's sweet talking gift.

"I... I'm also worried about how good of a mother I'll be, I don't have the biggest support system at home and the father... he isn't really around any more. It's just kind of scary." Oh stars, there she went again, sharing vulnerable information about her life to a stranger. Ducking her head in apology, she quickly attempted to turn the conversation so that he would talk about himself, because she didn't want to seem self centered. "How are things in ThunderClan?"

Sootfur observed the gray queen's expression carefully. She seemed really concerned and what she was just mentioning now about Shadowclan's problems... it troubled deeply the tom's mind. His face changed from a cheerful to a serious one, his eyes darkening as Dovefluff mentioned violence and kits together. Is it really this bad...?
The gray tabby risked a brief glance at Dawnstar, whose face was an eternal frowning mask. Was that really how the famous Shadowclan leader ruled the clan? Shivers run through his spine as he imagined himself and Flameheart there. Would they obey a leader that allowed so much violence among his clanmates?

It didn't surprise him that Dovefluff was concerned for her family. I've been right. She expects kits. And those kits will live under Dawnstar's rules.
The queen suddenly looked taken aback, always glancing around with worry in her eyes and her voice. Sootfur felt pity for this poor she-cat, who showed much sensitivity and kindness even to a stranger... But what could he do?
"I'm really sorry to hear that..." He replied wistfully, keeping his voice low so that no other cat could hear them.

"Thunderclan is... fantastic. Sparrowstar is a kind and fair leader, and has a benevolent eye for all of her clanmates." Maybe, if Dovefluff found out how different the other clans were, she could make a different choice. Would she?
"We have many brave Keepers to help her and our new deputy, who's also a very capable and good cat. It's... a good place to raise our kin." He hoped not to have gone too far, but he couldn't give her any more hints than that now.

Sootfur regained his friendly, positive expression and stretched his body a little bit to change subject. "Woah, it's so chilly here! My paws are sure freezing." He commented before inspecting his toes, who felt a bit sore by now.

“Woah there kiddo,Calm down. I know you’re ready for your first gathering and everything but you still need to have some decorum,ya know. Uhhh,Don’t insult people,Give attitude towards a high ranking official,and the best for last Don’t attack anyone. Just be respectful please. You are representing Shadowclan here and I don’t think we need a worse reputation. That’s about it,Have fun,don’t light the place on fire or get in any fights. ” The warrior spoke loosely about the basics of gathering behavior as he tried to ruffle the white and ginger toms head fluff. The warrior looked at Larkpaw. “That applies to you as well,but I would hope you have experience as an Enforcer to understand.” He lightly added towards the young Shecat. He sighed roughly.
His mind wandered as he picked an open spot near his apprentice,Making sure he didn’t seem as if he was hovering. He wasn’t trying to seem like a mother Fox who didn’t let her cubs leave the den but Daypaw was someone he cared for,Now even more with his recent….loss of a sister,and his kits on the way. It made even him start to notice his overprotective nature of Daylaw. Welp,He had to set an example,being emotional was out of the cards for now. “It’s gonna be fine,give the kid some space.” He muttered to himself.

following his clan, although it seems he's fallen behind, loudmouth can't help but shake his large paws after each step. it's very mucky, and wet, and rainy. oh, and sandy! his fur has long been soaked due to the journey to the seastones, and the tom simply looks like a large, sopping wet white mass. "well, i can barely see! goodness!" he comments to himself, shaking fur from his eyes. despite the struggles he's facing, he refuses to let the weather sour his mood! he will have a good time!!

pale eyes scan the beach. it's a very wide variety of possible buddies, but he soon spots a brown-coated fellow who looks a little lonely. or.. uhm, no, actually the fellow seems more smokey now that loudmouth strains his eyes a bit. tilting his head slightly, he then shakes it and starts to pad over to the shadowclanner - almost bumping into a few cats on the way.

the thunderclanner plops down right beside the other warrior, a toothy grin plastered on his maw. "hayyy-llo there!!" he greets, probably just a bit too loudly, and maybe a bit too cheerfully. "I'm loudmouth! although, i don't think I'm loud..er, what's your name?" he introduces himself with the attitude of a newly made apprentice, though his ears are pricked, eager to hear what the shadowclanner's name is.

following his clan, although it seems he's fallen behind, loudmouth can't help but shake his large paws after each step. it's very mucky, and wet, and rainy. oh, and sandy! his fur has long been soaked due to the journey to the seastones, and the tom simply looks like a large, sopping wet white mass. "well, i can barely see! goodness!" he comments to himself, shaking fur from his eyes. despite the struggles he's facing, he refuses to let the weather sour his mood! he will have a good time!!

pale eyes scan the beach. it's a very wide variety of possible buddies, but he soon spots a brown-coated fellow who looks a little lonely. or.. uhm, no, actually the fellow seems more smokey now that loudmouth strains his eyes a bit. tilting his head slightly, he then shakes it and starts to pad over to the shadowclanner - almost bumping into a few cats on the way.

the thunderclanner plops down right beside the other warrior, a toothy grin plastered on his maw. "hayyy-llo there!!" he greets, probably just a bit too loudly, and maybe a bit too cheerfully. "I'm loudmouth! although, i don't think I'm loud..er, what's your name?" he introduces himself with the attitude of a newly made apprentice, though his ears are pricked, eager to hear what the shadowclanner's name is.



FROSTSCREECH

The tomcat wasn’t expecting another to truly come up to him. A Thunderclan cat by the smell of it,A welcome sight. It should get his mind off of Daypaw. This cat was Fluffy to say the least,a faint welcoming purr arose in his throat. A light chuckle came from the large Shadowclan warrior. This guy was surely quite the riot. From the way he introduced himself to his overall demeanor,it was all light hearted and friendly. Stars knew Frostscrech could use some of those every once in a while. The warrior offered a smile,Loudmouth was a great distraction from his own problems. He slightly could tell the thunderclanner was a good guy,hopefully this was right though. The bengal gave a small smile,opening his maw to speak as he did so. “Well Hello,Loudmouth. That’s quite the name for someone. I’m Frostscreech,From Shadowclan if you couldn’t guess by the scent.” he laughed nervously,Taking a quick glance towards he last saw his apprentice,if he was even still there? He couldn’t tell,there were already so many cats. “You come here with an apprentice?” He asked the fluffy cat that sat next to him questionably.

[Kaybug.]

Ospreypaw bounded over waving his tail, "Hello! my name is Ospreypaw and I'm from Thunderclan!"


Maplepaw

Maplepaw acknowledged the tom, “Hi! I’m Maplepaw of Windclan!”

[Red Dawn]

"I'm doing good!" He replied, looking around. He wasn't sure what else too say.


He said, with a calm voice "I really hope the meeting will end soon..." he began to recite a slow litany, low enough to be heard only by a very close cat, like the apprentice, he spoke in a deep voice, but from which emanated an almost fanatical zeal and fervor "Starclan the creator of everything, we stand here for your might and will, we are your devoted sons and daughters, I will serve You until my last breath, until my last drop of blood, my life is only to serve You, I am only here for You..." toward the end of this litany, there was more ardor and determination in his voice...

He seemed to take her words into account, and as much as she tried to not notice, he clearly understood at least a little of what she meant. Were kits watching cats die and get attacked on the daily? Surely not... Right?

When he spoke again, the queen was taken by surprise by.... empathy? pity? She was so used to cats who played pretend, like emotions apart from aggression and hate and cruelty didn't exist. Was life in a different Clan like that every day? Where you didn't have cats screaming for murder and cats attacking one another at Clan meetings. Her heart fluttered lightly. She had always been out of place in ShadowClan, rejecting their murderous values. Would she and her family be better off in another Clan. ShadowClan is strong and weak.... Safe enough to be protected from everything but itself.

Leaning a little closer so that she could better hear what he had to say, she was extremely conflicted to hear that he continued to water the seed of hope that things didn't have to be this way. That there was a place outside ShadowClan that was safer, where she wouldn't have to worry about her kits being hurt or be exposed to blood and death so young. A lump quickly formed in her throat, and she swallowed multiple times before it went away. Glancing around for anyone that might hear before speaking, she sighed.

"They don't really like ShadowClanners, though." She murmured regretfully. If she left her Clan, but then was turned away from ThunderClan... she wouldn't have any chance with the other two Clans. Dovefluff was close enough to her delivery date that if she left and was turned away, she'd have to give birth alone. She wouldn't be able to hunt without leaving the kits vulnerable. They would starve. And if she was somehow taken in, they'd all certainly "I can't risk anything." Pushing her conflicted, worried gaze away and replacing it with a friendly smile, nodding in agreement as he changed the subject.

"It most certainly is! Luckily I have some more insulation than usual, I can't imagine how you're coping!" She purred softly, ignoring the twinge of worry that tried to claw it's way back up.

Roosterflame listened to Pebblesplash’s report with rapt attention. Unlike him, she seemed to not have been instilled with the order to be vague at Gatherings since kithood, so she seemed to be sharing everything.
That, or she was purposefully lying to throw him off some sort of scent.
But that he doubted, seeing as she seemed to genuine.
“A big storm?” Roosterflame echoed, an eyebrow raised, “I… maybe. I mean, things have been so quiet among the clans lately. It’s only a matter of time, I suppose,” He glances between Dawnstar and Twilightstar, “I wonder if they’ll start up their little feud again,” He meows, indicating the ShadowClan and WindClan leaders respectively. He shivers,
“I don’t know about you, but I’d hate to be on Dawnstar’s bad side.”

He pauses for a moment, thinking, before he answers Pebblesplash again,
“Why are you hiding from the rain?” He jokes, “Isn’t your fur water repellent or something?” He snorts, referring to an age-old rumor.

She/Her

"I'm basically part duck at this point," The she-cat moves aside to a spot more... suited for her. Rain lightly pattered down onto her. Before she had moved, She had been sitting in a rather dry spot. "Here, I feel bad," she chuckled. Her tail signaled the tom to take her former seat.

Once she got herself settled again, she continued the conversation. "DawnStar has the potential to be a great leader but she uses fear and violence to establish power... That's a big no-no." she mews quietly. "I definitely wouldn't want to cross her either," PebbleSplash licks her paw.

"If they start to feud again, I hope we aren't pulled into it. The last thing I need is the stress of a massive clan-wide war." Her tail flicked a bit as she spoke. "None of the clans need another battle, not now, not ever,"

[Tess_Potter]

He stares at her, his maw dropping open. Shaking out his fur, he cannot help but radiate inside. "Will you have them in your Clan... O-or mine?" He mews. There is no way he can join RiverClan. His loyalty is wholly in ThunderClan - no possibility in changing that. And it would not be fair to the others in his Clan if he betrayed them like that.

"I don't know." Icewhisper meows.

Sootfur could not only sense Dovefluff's deep concern in her voice; her eyes were truly dark, her tone ominous. Something pushed him, told him to do more. Say more. Help. But how could an ordinary warrior change the fate of another one from a clan so different?

One last time. Just one. Glancing casually above his head to the white glowing moon, he murmured with his head tipped to the other side: "Thunderclan would be safe for your family... And Sparrowstar would never turn her back on you." He allowed a few moments of silence to fall between the two cats, then changed his eyes direction and whispered a few more words.
"If you make up your mind... meet me at the Thunderclan border in two days, midday."

He rose his voice gradually. "Well, actually.. I've always envied cats with more fur. But only in leaf-bare!" he joked, and chuckled at the memory of Flameheart with her long fur soaked in the river. "But I'm okay as I am. You know, I use to sleep beside my mate, who's very fluffy... so we always stay warm in the night." He relished the memory with a soft smile that warmed him from tail tip to nose.

[ jupiter (Well, that was completely spontaneous. Dovefluff can decide whatever she wants, Sootfur will wait for her anyway and I'll mention you if you want.) ]

Seapaw nodded at what Nightspark said. Though he was confused at what he said next. What was Nightspark talking about? Seapaw wasn't sure but he thought the tom was praying to starclan or something like that. He ignored the warrior and started passing a small rock between his paws.

He watched the apprentice do this, with that look of fanatic...

✧ Dovefluff ✧

The fluffy, light gray molly felt another wave of unsuppressed indecision and anxiety. She certainly didn't expect this at a gathering. Not at all. A ThunderClan, who had no doubt been caused a lot of pain at the paws of her Clan, was offering her and her children a way out. Should she even be considering this? Which was worse, being an outcast or having her kits witness death so young?

Obviously she knew the answer. The terrifying, nerve shaking answer. But she couldn't, Dawnstar surely wouldn't let her go. And she could never come to Gatherings again. And... she thought of Hawkbite. Was destroying their friendship something she could do? If it meant her kits would be safe, yes, but still. It was a price to pay.

Sighing softly, anxiously as he told her where to meet him if she wanted to get out, it was like she was in a cage and was being handed the key, but was hesitating to take it for fear of what the outside world held in store.

Nodding slightly, Dovefluff pursed her lips to keep them from trembling. Damn emotions. Another reason why she didn't belong in ShadowClan. She was never the aggressive, tough cat that the Clan desired. Too worried about others, her mother would say. Not worried enough about herself. Glad for the continuation of the safer, less stressful conversation, the molly smiled wearily.

"Long fur is only really helpful in leaf bare, isn't it? " She said with a small chuckle. "Harder to stalk prey and picks up leaf litter much more efficiently." Recalling a time during her apprenticeship when she had tried to stalk a mouse, but ended up collecting pine needles in her long belly fur, she felt a purr of amusement rumbling in her throat. That was one of the few good memories she remembered from her youth.

Cowpaw leaned back, a look of awe on his face. "How intriguing! Golly.. is it not wonderful how .. we carry physical characteristics and even mental .. characteristics.. from our kin.. cats we care about..?" He mused, letting out a fond sigh at the thought. He was well aware that not all carried physical characteristics from their kin; but he did believe all likely carried similar behaviors, quirks, personality traits from those they love. (Cowpaw was reminded of Rockwing; he hoped his brother was doing well..)

Cowpaw let out a squeak of delight when Fawnlight set the oak leaf down, explaining how it was a gift of gratitude. His whiskers twitched with happiness, and he had to stop himself from doing happy stomps. Did not want to accidentally harm his wonderful gift. He looked back up to his friend, lifting a paw to bring it to his mouth and pull it away. "Thank you.. thank you..!" Cowpaw gestured, oh! Yes! Speaking of gifts..

The splotched tom picked up the small branch of juniper berries and set them back down on Fawnlight's paws. "For you.. these are what I was talking about... juniper berries.. help with bellyaches.. They can survive through leaf-bare.. so I have found them to be.. quite amazing, " He explained, content for the chance to talk about herbs. It was very nice to be able to connect to fellow medicine cats - .. besides kits, not everyone was quite interested in his rants! A shame, Cowpaw had many rambles. Not all were just herbs. He liked clouds and their shapes. He liked the patterns in butterflies. He liked, a lot.

The rain was beginning to clean his muddy paws to Cowpaw's relief. Wet sand and mud were a rather uncomfortable feeling. His floppy ears perked up as .. his nose twitched, ah! Shadowclan's medicine cats. Once Ivysnake spoke, it was easy to figure who was who. After all, uh, Elmshadow was a quiet fella.

While he thought over her questions he offered a response, "The.. juniper berries we had discussed ..at the last meeting..?" He prompted gently, stars, maybe - maybe he should have grabbed another branch. Ivysnake had been a bit offended by his offer last time (at least it appeared so to him?) and he hadn't wanted another repeat. What if.. she was mad that Cowpaw hadn't brought.. he shook his head, pushing the branch closer for Ivysnake to inspect at the very least.

"This is what.. they look like.." Despite the tension between Windclan and Shadowclan, he did want to be on friendly terms.

Leaning back, "As for announcements.. Windclan has been.. peaceful, I have not had to deal with many injuries with.. I am very grateful for.. A kit named Twigkit did go on a bit of an adventure but, " Giving a nod towards Fawnlight, "Fawnlight has returned him for us.. a Queen named Fireflame has passed away... " His ears lowered as he explained through sign. Surely, it could've been worse - there could have been more deaths or, or sickness... worse... but .. he had no .. good news to offer. (Stars, he still carried an apprentice name.. At least he was not the only one. )

➻ WORMBITE || RIVERCLAN SHIELD || HE/HIM || Larissa + WhiteDawn Oceanflower <- he's sitting close just to keep an eye 'cause he's,, protective. just ignore him!
"You know what? Nevermind. Just sit still and be quiet. We will talk about this later. I am not causing chaos in this gathering, " The oriental hissed in a low tone, without another word he turned away - tail lashing back and forth in frustration. The texture of the sand had him on edge. Unable to get rid of the crawling feeling under his skin.

Wormbite was desperate to retreat to the soil. Even if it was muddy or he couldn't quite here the announcements - he didn't give a damn. He needed, something. He needed to have this .. off of him.. Everything was so, loud. His ears turned sideways, stalking across the beach - attempting to his best to not bump into anyone. He was sure he did, feeling his shoulder brush against someone. (More like harshly knock into them.) He couldn't see anything, obviously, this was nothing new but something about his lack of vision had him feeling more contained than usual.

The Dark Lord had planned to find a safe haven until he overheard Nightspark's devoted ramblings. Biases aside, it unnerved him. Talking about serving into one's last blood? His nose twitched and it appeared he was sitting next to.. Seapaw. An apprentice. Wormbite could feel the internal groan building but, he did want this gathering to be peaceful.

... Which meant he sat directly behind the two. Just in case. It did mean he was still very much suffering in sensory hell.

[Buzzin' Bee]

Seapaw stopped passing the rock between his paws and set it next him. He listened to the Medicine cat of Windclan speak. He wasn't paying that much attention though. Though secretly, he wondered what Nightspark was talking about earlier, it was quite strange.

**Doeheart**
[Sorry this took a couple days!><]

Fogged within her own mind, the lilac queen was unaware of most of what surrounded her. The buzz of cats engaging in their small talk felt like the current of the river, ever droning, carrying her along easily, and the drizzle slowly drenching her pelt went unnoticed. It wasn't until a voice, so much closer than she'd thought any other cats were to her, spoke and something about it made it cut into her thoughts as if she knew it was directed at her. Her soft amber eyes switched quickly, startled, in the warrior's direction. Recognition came slow and she was given a moment to realize just how much edge had been lost by her time in the nursery and the fog of grief and worry. She couldn't remember ever being so easily caught off-guard. She'd always been a trusting cat but never oblivious, Until now, she conceded blandly. At his question, Doeheart turned her nose up to the wet sky then looked back at him. Had she been so cooped up that she'd let go of keeping up with her clanmates? Why was his name escaping her? Her worries were momentarily forgotten by the tom's reaction to what she assumed had to be a droplet that she'd missed. She felt the smile but quickly realized it hadn't extended to her mouth and a flush spread through her. How ridiculous must I look? Just staring at him. The small smile she'd felt was now gone but she forced a smile nonetheless, suddenly self-conscious. Was smiling even the right thing to do in that moment? Did it look as completely phony as it felt? Why was this so difficult? She swallowed and, as if just now realizing that it was dreary outside, she shook herself roughly, lifting her back end as the inertia drove her forward. It was only after she settled back down and looked to the tom that she realized how close he was and the inevitability of the spray from her coat catching him. The flush beneath her pelt deepened and she looked away from him as he told her his name. Aldermane, she silently thanked Starclan that he'd mentioned it, saving her the complete embarrassment of him finding out she was completely clueless. This time she did smile, though she hoped it came off as a standard smile of greeting rather than the smile of relief and embarrassment it felt like. "Doeheart. I, uh...I've apparently been stuck in the nursery too long. Talking to grown warriors is so...odd, I'm a bit out of practice, I think. I'm sorry," she meowed through breathy laughs, not meeting his eyes until her words cut off.

Aldermane tried not to pay too much attention to how his conversation partner seemed as if she'd been startled from her thoughts, briefly feeling like an ass for disturbing her, but once she tuned in to her surroundings, seemed less caught off guard.
"I apologize for interrupting your trail of thought. You seemed entranced. I hope it wasn't about anything too troubling." His apology and the following sentences were low murmurs, his voice unintentionally deepening into a soothing hum.
He almost didn't realize how intrusive that last statement was, but it wasn't as if he knew what she'd been thinking about.

After his run in with a rogue little rain drop, his eyes slid over to Doeheart. It didn't escape his attention that she'd been gazing at him, and he felt flushed at the idea she was judging him for how he reacted to a silly little raindrop, but she quickly adopted a smile. It lessened his embarrassment, but the left over buzz under his pelt was still there, but desperately tried to pretend the emotion had never been there to start with.
He softly smiled back at her.
"I guess the rain wasn't fond of my back pawed remark."
His reply was nearly cut off as he was surprised by Doeheart suddenly shaking the dew marks off her pelt, barely leaning away in time to avoid the worst of it, and bit back a light hearted chuckle. He should have taken into consideration she might, with how dewladden she'd been moments ago.
It seemed like it was his fate to constantly be dealing with droplets in his fur.
Well, as a river cat, it might be expected, actually.

He let his smile peak through when she settled into her spot again and smiled at him. He couldn't help the slight sigh of relief as she mentioned being out of practice with social skills. He didn't have to worry too much about his own ineptitude and fumbling.
"Well, I'm glad you decided to come along to the Gathering, dreary as it is."
He paused to avoid being run over by a passing cat, unintentionally scooting closer to Doeheart. When he was sire he wasn't in danger of being squashed under some inconsiderate giant's paws, he turned back to Doeheart.
"There's no need to apologize. I think you're doing great. I haven't been terribly social as of late myself, but I haven't as good a reason why I haven't been."
His tone was gentle, an attempt at being soothing.
"We can be awkward and practice our social skills together. Besides, I'd like to keep talking with you."
It'd be a good exercise in their sociability and they didn't run the risk of embarrassing themselves to more socially adept individuals. And he was being very genuine about wanting to talk to her more.
He rarely liked talking to anyone. Most cats quickly lost his interest in their conversation. It was refreshing to actually want to talk to someone.

Maplepaw

Maplepaw acknowledged the tom, “Hi! I’m Maplepaw of Windclan!”


Ospreypaw will chirp in delight, "That's so cool! I've heard you guys can run really really fast! Is that true?"

[perseus.]

Daintypaw padded into the gathering with a passive glance around before sitting down and listening silently. Maybe she would track a little apprentice down later. It would be so dramatic, murder at the seastones sounds so juicy.


Cicadapaw will walk over to an apprentice, they smelt strongly of Shadowclan but hopefully they might be nice or at least not aggressive because of the gather, their tail waved in greeting before they brought their paws up to sign, "Hello! My name is Cicadapaw!"

[perseus.]

Stumpypoppy
The flame-point moved toward the gathering while being drenched. Honorably following in the herding line that was behind Twilightstar. Sand that had been wet at the time adhered to his paws, toes, and followed up to his ankles. Oh dear, he really didn't like this. Sand was now sticking to his orange-tinted legs like viscous saliva. Furthermore, he was unable to see through even half of the intense downpour. Raindrops began to fall and puddle over the back of his flank. He was dragged behind the clan because of how much his thick fur weighed him down. Well, he decided to come here on his own, he grunted as it continued to pour. But now it would take days, if not weeks, for his fur to completely dry.His paws stepped off the beach and landed on mush. Utter mush. He now had a horrific rain monster appearance. The combination of snow and rain, along with dirt and other dungy things he didn't want to talk about, had resulted in his paws being coated in mud.

He turned to look at Pikestar on the boulder with his bold blue eyes. Before becoming preoccupied by the meowing and pattering of other cats, he tilted his head. It's possible that the Riverclan cats are used to these kinds of wet conditions. They had a strong fishy odor as well. He realized that in order to develop into a warrior, he had to become accustomed to being in situations like these. Anywhere, however. He sat there with his wet lump,  he didn't mind getting more slush on his butt. Who could blame him for getting dirty given his flawless creamy rose fur? He shook his fur in an attempt to shake off the excess of the constant downpour of rain, which he foolishly believed he could get rid of. His vision was now tempered, and he was currently experiencing the sensation of being a heavy, breathing ball of dung.

Oh, he prayed the gathering wouldn't continue to deteriorate any further. He twitched as raindrops continued to pelt his head ceaselessly. Avoid getting angry at any costs. Before turning around in a startled manner to see Twilightstar have fallen from the stone, he scrunched his muzzle. True, even the leaders experienced difficulties in this weather. Considering how great she was, Twilightstar landed without any issues. In fear of what may happen if the oldest of the leaders missed that landing, he pursed his lips. The deputy's perch caught his attention. Like a couple of flopped bunny ears, his ears lay flat against his head. As though they were a part of his pelt, they naturally blended in. Given his name, Stumpypoppy, he naturally resembled a wet rather than a fresh poppy.

[ open! ]

Fogcloud walked over to the Windclan cat, his tail flicking back and forth as they studied the cat before speaking, "Hello, I'm Fogcloud from Riverclan. I see that the rain isn't agreeing with you." the silver tabby will try and jest though they sounded much more serious then they hoped

[Kaybug.]

Ospreypaw will chirp in delight, "That's so cool! I've heard you guys can run really really fast! Is that true?"


“Of course!” Maplepaw meowed in delight.

**Doeheart**

A calmness seeped through the queen and, for a moment, everything else seemed to be forgotten. She shook her head, not thinking too deeply about his observation of her thoughts, but there was a reassurance in hearing somebody else being glad for her presence. Being a mother was thankless. She never expected any sort of show of appreciation from her kits, that wasn't their job. Elkkit made a show of needing her comfort, though he avoided admitting it; and there was a certain sense of comfort in those moments, in the validation that she had the ability to lend needed comfort to her kit. But it wasn't the same as being wanted for simply being present by a being outside of kits who relied on her. It was such a simple comment, possibly random, often times just something cats said to have something to say. Nonetheless, she couldn't, and didn't care to try to, take it impersonally. Regardless what the tom's intentions were, she interpreted how it best suited her in that moment and for that she was grateful to Aldermane, even if for only saying the words aloud.

She gasped mildly as a cat rushed passed, forcing Aldermane to dodge out of the way. She wasn't aware of his shifted position closer to her until the momentary rush of adrenaline subsided as she looked after the oblivious cat and back at Aldermane. She smiled as he made an attempt at encouraging her. "I'd never have been able to tell, you're a natural. But I'm not sure how much that means coming from a queen who spends all her time with kits," she laughed quietly but was quickly caught off-guard, anything she was going to say immediately forgotten as soon as she heard him say he'd like to keep talking to her. She couldn't remember ever being to affected by another cats' words. She was an older first-time queen, despite always being drawn to kits and motherhood. She hadn't been so easy to woo, not that she felt wooed, only that she was feeling something. His words, the word of a stranger, even one within her clan, made her feel seen, validated. She nodded, "You're right. No need to be worried. Hopefully we can practice with each other more often? My kits are close to their apprentice ceremony, I wouldn't want to make a fool of myself around cats who are less understanding once I return to the warrior's den." She met Aldermane's eyes and split into a small smile.

Male[he/him] - Post 65

Feeling more confident this time Ratpaw moved after his clanmates. The last time he was here he was so small. You could tell how many moons he had been an apprentice by his size. He still wasn't quite as big as some of his clanmates, but he was larger than most of the other apprentices. He moved alongside his clanmates. This was all too exciting for him.

Sootfur forced himself to relax, too, before any other cats could sense the odd tension between the two cats. Dovefluff's muscles lost their tenseness, and her voice came out more fluid now, almost like honey. This queen was a good cat, he decided. Flameheart would like her.

"Oh yes, when sharing tongues I always end up helping my mate with all the debris her fur has caught up! It's so funny though, haha." He chuckled as he pictured the big maine coon having trouble with her fur. But that was also one of the things that made her such a beautiful, enchanting cat.

"Oh, I was always curious about the uses of other clans." He added with a curious glance at the cats around him. "For example.. How do you build your nests? I guess the Thunderclan forest has the biggest quantity of moss compared to the other territories." Maybe that was a stupid question, but how could he know? It was so hard to get to know cats from other clans, even during the moonlight truce.

"Oh, it'll pass eventually," Froststorm tried to make his voice sound friendly and confident.

Nightspark listened what the WindClan medicine cat said, as the cat announced the death of some of the WindClan, he let out a sad sigh and said "May Starclan welcome their spirit forever..." he then began to jabber something incomprehensible but which was apparently something about Starclan... again...

Mintpaw felt tiny tears concentrate at the corners of her eyes, but they soon dried up as she tried to keep herself composed. She was injured... But she didn't forget me. She had been right all along. Lilyleaf wasn't like Doveskip. Suddenly some kind of hidden weight lifted off her chest, and her heart became a little more reachable for her mother.

The young she-cat stepped forward to inspect briefly the leg that Lilyleaf had broken; it had a different appearance, and honestly it didn't look as healthy as the other three. Did she get seen by Fawnlight? She wondered silently. But she didn't say anything, and rested her forehead briefly on Lilyleaf's with her blue eyes gently closed off.

For a few moments, the chaos and noises around them shut down.


LilyLeaf
"It'll be ok!" LilyLeaf assured her kit. She smiled "How much you've grown!" LilyLeaf said and smiled.

Sagepaw grinned at the gathering of all the clans. It looked like ShadowClan had been last. Well, he had to begin searching for cats to talk to if he wanted to catch up! His green eyes scanned the Seastones, trying to find some other apprentices. He didn't want to talk to some grouchy warrior. He could just do that back at camp. Despite the ickiness of the weather, Sagepaw walked confidently among the other clans. He hoped to find someone to sit next to.(( ~Half-A-Witch-Ace~ ))

Froststorm waited for the leaders to make their announcements.

Dovefluff

The long furred molly turned her head briefly away from Sootfur as he mentioned his mate, pretending like she was checking to see if the announcements were starting. But really, she felt a wave of uncharacteristic jealousy sweep over her. Why couldn't she have a mate who talked about her in such a loving way? Instead, she was raising some flaky, manipulative tomcat's kits all by herself. The only good he brought her was her babies.

Her life was not turning out the way she had planned as a dreamy apprentice. She had dreamed that she would be raising her kits with her soulmate by her side, and her kits would be safe and happy. But now, the plan had fallen apart. She wouldn't be raising her kits with her soulmate, but she would still raise them. And they wouldn't be safe or happy unless she took a blind leap of faith towards the oak forests. Metaphorically. And..... and hypothetically. Looking back at him, the queen smiled lightly. "I'm glad she has you to help her out with that, it can be pretty tough untangling that stuff!"

Purring softly as he curiously asked what ShadowClan nests were like, the molly paused to think about it. They used moss, mostly. maybe sometimes reeds from the marsh's. Feathers. She never really thought of paying more attention to the nests. "Moss and reeds, I believe." She said softly. "Some cats have more... um, eccentric decorations. I like to put feathers in mine, it makes it softer." Briefly, she thought of the bone collections of some. Once, when she had moved into the nursery, coincidentally taking Brackenfire's old nest, she had found three skulls hidden in a "trinket" cache underneath it. That event nearly scared the kits out of her. "Do cats in ThunderClan decorate their nests?" She asked, a messily hidden attempt to see if ThunderClan cats also had the... same tastes in decor that many of her Clanmates did. She didn't think so, they all looked nice and normal, but she knew better than most that someone could look like the nicest creature on the planet and still be a psychopath on the inside.

Daintypaw

A friendly face and the taupe-lilac apprentice heard alarm bells going off in her head. Kindness was a red flag for her, obviously. This cat also wasn't speaking.... rather they were signing instead. Cicadapaw. She would judge their name if she could, but considering her own... then probably not. She was a lot of things, but a hypocrite? Not so much.

"Hello! I'm Daintypaw." She purred, her charming facade slipping straight on, as if it was a natural instinct that happened to come on whenever she socialized with cats that didn't know her. "You have a very lovely sounding name!" Mint eyes darted up to Dawnstar, then back to the apprentice before her.

ColdPaw spotted a young apprentice tom and smiled. He gestured his tail for the apprentice to sit with him.
Sagepaw bounded over, taking in the RiverClan scent of the other tom. "Crazy gathering, huh?" He said, referring to the awful weather, though Sagepaw didn't mind all that much. He grinned at the albino cat playfully. Possible apprentice friend? Though he wasn't sure how that'd work considering they lived in clans that were pretty far from each other. Or, at least, far in his mind. Sagepaw chose to settle for gathering buddies for the moment.

Sootfur was glad to see that the queen was interested in such ordinary matters, and he found himself surprised when he heard both moss and reeds. "Oh, and I'd always thought only Thunderclan had moss! And we don't have reeds, I think." He paused briefly to search in his memories... He wasn't good at remembering such tiny details.

"uhm.. No." He ended up replying. "But we also use prey's feathers and fur, and ferns and bracken. Actually..." He glanced sideways to control if Flameheart was around. "Yesterday I prepared a gift for my mate. I managed to take the whole fur from a rabbit catch and line her whole nest with it... I don't think a clan cat has every had a softest nest in all the four clans!" He purred excitedly, still looking forward to see her mate's reaction. They hadn't had time to meet and talk after that, but she was sure the Keeper would find time for him.
