ShadowClan Grimpeak

Haven'gaze strode in before taking his usual seating. Hmm- what chaos would ensue today?

Vulture'fang, plopped down at the edge of the clearing, exhaustion printed on his scarred countenance.

Ruekit lifted her head as she heard Dawndtar call for Shadowclan. Oh oh, was it something exciting? Like... a clan meeting? Maybe, maybe!

She looked around and spotted her sister and her mother, Flowerkit and Dappledleaf. She made a delighted noise, bouncing over to their side.

[ @jupiter @puppeteer ]

Shadekit looked around, frowning. She didn't see anyone she was close with... but that was just Mousekit and Wrenkit. Maybe Mousekit would become a 'paw' this meeting.

(Open)

Midnightkit simply yawned, a little too young to understand what was going on.

~ IVYSNAKE OF SHADOWCLAN ~

Tall, angular dark brown she-cat with distinctive, ivy-like black stripes and piercing amber eyes.

Upon hearing Dawnstar's meeting call, Ivysnake poked her narrow black-striped head out of the medicine cats' den. She hadn't gone outside much in the past couple of weeks, having been confined to her nest as her wounds from the fox attack healed. She'd been outside a couple of times to walk around and get her strength back, but she hadn't strayed far from the vicinity of the den she shared with Elmshadow. Now she stepped outside, her head and tail raised high as always. Her steps weren't unsteady anymore, and there were no twinges of pain in her shoulder and hind leg. Though the latter bore the scars - a deep set of bite marks cutting into her short, dark fur, standing out bright pink from where they had recently healed. Her sharp amber eyes skimmed the clearing. It was rare that she wasn't late for a meeting based on everything that had been going on, but she was here now, an early bird among the few Clanmates who were currently gathering.

The medicine cat apprentice took a seat in her usual spot at the base of the Shadowledge. Elmshadow - and probably Cougarivy - would be there to accompany her soon, she was sure. She also scanned the crowd for Vixensnarl to see if her platonic mate was there yet. If Ivysnake saw her, she'd give her a quick nod before shifting and turning toward Dawnstar, waiting to see what her glorious leader had to say.

Singepaw emerged from the apprentices den, giving his long feathery fur a good shake. It was tangled and unpresentable, which much to his dismay didn’t seem like something he could fix entirely at the moment. He bent to salvage some of his chest fur and hoped that nobody else would take keen notice.

Then he padded forward to join the group, glancing upwards at Dawnstar who stood proudly above the clearing.

Darkpaw sat there, waiting for what the announcement will be. He was confused on
what is so important that the leader has to speak to the clan as a whole. He also had to stop
the game with Mousekit before it began.

**Elmshadow**

@TheNyanCatMinecart

The dark medicine cat moved in through the entrance from where he'd been lingering just outside upon hearing Dawnstar's distinctive call. He glanced over the clearing and the few cats who'd gathered already. Ivysnake was among the first to have arrived and was sitting at the base of the shadowledge. She was looking better each day and, since she'd woken, he'd mostly let her care for herself unless needed. She was plenty knowledgeable in the way of treating wounds, though he'd kept an eye out for her progress. While he trusted her to care for their clanmates, he also knew her to be the type of cat who would downplay her own injuries and potentially not take all the help she needed. Regardless, she seemed to be healing quite well. He moved closer to the medicine cat apprentice and sat down, giving her a small nod in greeting before turning his attention up to Dawnstar.

**Cougarivy**

The small-framed enforcer commander pranced easily from the nursery. It'd been a few days since she'd seen her kits, let alone taken the time to actually go into the nursery, so she figured she ought to address the tedious chore. She was saved, however, by Dawnstar's call for a meeting and had turned briskly and exited the den after only the few steps she'd taken into it. She glanced over the gathering cats though not truly seeing any of them. Nothing seemed overtly amiss so she picked a spot towards the back and sat down with her tail flicking behind her.

**Sunsetthorn**

@Alchemist Kitsune - Mousekit

The young golden queen's single blue eye flickered up when she saw the familiar figure of Cougarivy coming into the den. It'd been a bit since she'd seen her would-be stepmother, if she cared to claim such a thing, and while she wasn't particularly remiss about the fact, less Cougarivy was all the better for Sunsetthorn, she was still concerned for the kits Cougarivy had kitted and then apparently abandoned. But as quickly as she'd entered, she was gone again. Sunsetthorn felt guilty about the sense of relief, knowing she should be glad for the kits that their mother had come to visit them, but she'd left anyway so maybe the kits were better off without her. It then occurred to her that Dawnstar's voice had echoed into the dark den, calling for a meeting. Sunsetthorn took a deep breath and lifted herself form her nest, making her way out of the nursery and into the open clearing to look up at the leader atop the Shadowledge. She looked for her kits, knowing the day was quick approaching when her kits would be making the step up to apprenticeship. She wasn't sure she was ready to lose her kits to such responsibilities but she was also immensely proud and eager to watch them thrive in the clan that had shunned her though also given her more chances than she probably deserved. She also couldn't deny her readiness to move back into her own warrior duties and out of the nursery.

**Shrewstone**

Dawnstar's voice grated through the brown and white tom's nerves and, as usual, the thought went through his mind wondering how long until the day that somebody else's voice would call those familiar words. He sucked in a breath, dismissing the thoughts lest they leak through his stoic façade and sat down in the clearing to focus on the current sitting leader of his clan.

As Dawnstar's voice rang throughout the clearing, Nighthound shouldered his way out of the warrior's den. He came to sit with the growing crowd, ears perked and ready to listen to whatever the leader had to say.

[Cinderspirit]

Fallenflower and Patchwish both looked up from where they had been sitting. They slunk over.

willowkit

Willowkit was absolutely flabbergasted as cat after cat flocked to where she and her "friend" sat. None for her, obviously, since Flo was her only friend, but she was very impressed that Flowerkit had so many cats so happy to see her. A fluffy dark lilac and cream tail rested on Willow's back, as if to keep her from fleeing in introverted panic. She shot an annoyed look at Flowerkit, but didn't move as Flowerkit's mother wrapped a loving tail around her daughter, and then another warrior, an Enforcer this time, sat on Flo's other side, and Willowkit moved to sit behind Flo instead, looking around for her father. Frostscreech. Maybe he would come over? Or maybe Nec or Woodkit would, so she would look less like a friendless loser? The odds didn't seem too good, so the mottled gray and cream tortie plopped down and fidgeted with her loved friend's feathery tail, which stuck out from underneath Dappledleaf's protective tail. It was fine. Willowkit didn't like being talked to, anyways. Most cats were annoying.


flowerkit

As she and Willy sat down in the meeting place, Flowerkit was thrilled to find that her mother had sat beside her. "Hi, mama!" She squeaked excitedly, swaying unsteadily on her single front paw, but leaned into her mom for balance. A feeling of warmth and comfort filled her, and she smiled up at her beautiful mum, glad that the molly had come over. She loved her mama.

And soon, an older kit came flying over, and the lilac, rosy brown and dark cream calico looked up as the other cat greeted her enthusiastically. "Hello-hello-hello back!" She smiled brightly, honey colored eyes bright with excitement at this possible new friendship. She was vaguely aware of Willowkit moving behind her, and she wondered why, but her question was answered by her older sister as she slid to her other side, and Flowerkit looked up at Larkfire with a happy chirp. "Hiya, Larkie!" She offered a happy, lurching nuzzle (meaning she moved off her mom to say high and toppled into Lark's side), and pushed herself back up, now flanked by her two family members. Flo adored this sense of security that came with the mollys here.

Then, to make things even MORE awesome, Rue came over. "Sissy!" She exclaimed with absolute joy, reaching out to nuzzle her sister, and scooting over so that Rue could fit between her and Lark, should the molly want to squeeze in. Flo was incredibly comfortable, feeling Willow play with her tail and having family and a new friend surrounding her. What a great meeting! Spotting her friend Mirehound, the pretty warrior who she and her siblings had talked to earlier that week, she braced herself on Lark's side, twisted to the side, and waved her single front paw at the Enforcer with a large, friendly smile on her face. After a moment of childish waving, she would turn back and shift to be more comfortable beside her family.

Poppykit scampered out the den, plopping himself down wit his family; Dappledleaf, ruekit, Flowerkit, and larkfire.
