Re: October Gathering
Thrushwing, a large tabby warrior of ThunderClan looked around the clearing with worried eyes. Not very long ago, his clan had to take prey from ShadowClan and WindClan territory for their survival, he could only hope that the other clans didn't notice. Although he was afraid of what the leaders may accuse each other as, he couldn't have helped but wonder what was wrong with ShadowClan. When he had crossed the border with his patrol, there were no ShadowClan warriors to defend their laid. In fact, it seemed as if the clan was never even there in the first place if it wasn't for the old scent markers. They seem to have returned though, when he tried crossing a second time, the scents were fresh and stronger then before. Thrushwing had guessed that the mysterious clan had moved somewhere else. But only temporarily. The question was, where and why?
The built tabby lowered himself to a sitting position, continuing to ponder. When Thrushwing did cross over, there barely any prey at all, which led the hunting patrol only returning with a squirrel that Icefur had skillfully caught. Maybe that was why ShadowClan left! Their prey was low and they couldn't survive, so they moved to another land! But why return so soon? Thrushwing shook his head, shaking his thoughts from his brain. The gathering was a time of peace with the other clans, thinking of what could be troubling ShadowClan and what would WindClan say about their intrusions wasn't going to help. He looked up to the sky, his eyes reflecting off of the light from the fullest moon. Just relax Thrushwing, stop stressing yourself every time you attend a gathering! He thought, closing his momentarily to clear his thoughts fully. Open! |
Re: October Gathering
ThunderClan Cottonfrost padded into the camp, his fur gleaming after having been freshly groomed. His ears twitched as he scented WindClan and ShadowClan already here. Only RiverClan and SkyClan were left. He blinked slowly, trying to figure out where to sit. He weaved in and out of cats, whiskers twitching.Coyotecry stepped into the clearing behind Snowstar. He could feel tension like fear on a mouse's pelt once it realizes it i she about to die. The tom shook out his brown fur, listening. He himself had found no reason to quarrel with the skinny WindClanners, but knew he would fight for ThunderCan if it came to a battle. Both are open for quoting or @mentioning |

Risingstorm's ears twitched as the chattering apprentices started to increase their volume. She turned to then and said in a stern but kind voice, "Nightpaw, I know that you're excited, but you need to keep your voice a little lower, ok?" The grey and cream she-cat looked to Snowpaw next, "I'm counting on you to set a good example for her," she said warmly. |
Re: October Gathering
Wolfpaw glance around, feeling the tension high in the air. This was his first gathering, why were the clans so big? He shuffled his paws, a sigh escaping from his mouth. With Windclan here, I should be on my guard but they wouldn't do anything at a gathering? Right? Why is this so boring?! The Thunderclan apprentice's eyes search for the leaders of the other clans, trying to guess who was who. Still in wondering how this many cats could be here, he let out a quiet huff. As a Windclan apprentice pass by, stopping to glance at Wolfpaw he returned the stare with a glare. The apprentice let out a quiet hiss at him, as Wolfpaw bit back a stuiped reply he turned away. "Can't start a fight here, I don't need to make it worst between us...." He muttered to himself.
Birdsong stretched, smiling to himself. He hadn't been in a gathering in quite some time, but happy enough to see some of the clans. Not Windclan, of course. He didn't exactly hate them, I mean was a bit... how to say it? Well didn't care. However he just didn't like seeing them, the warrior sat down. His tail swaying or hovering over the floor, sometimes hitting the grass but barely. He returned a friendly smile to a Skyclan cat, but it faded quickly. Birdsong unsheathed his claws, digging them into the ground. Bringing them up again, and dirt he sunk them down again. His tail twitched in some annoyance at the loud talking, if he wasn't at a gathering he would claw their ears off. (Both Open!) |

"Yes," he agreed. Coyotecry wrapped his tail around his paws, looking up at the great rock. "Many have seemed to notice." He spoke few words; if this other tom didn't know the tension was between ThunderClan and WindClan, then he wasn't going to be the one to break the news. Not now, at least. |

How could he know he was completely wrong?He couldn't read the future.He looked at the Tom."I'm Burningforest from thunderclan, like you.I might have caught some other clans scent though when I was passing through." He explained,noticing the other Tom seemed a bit suspicious of him. |
Re: October Gathering
Blackblaze walked easily around, scanning for people he knew. Sweeping his silver gaze over the gathering, the Bengal noticed that Snowstar and Blazingstar looked on edge. Upon further notice, the leader's respective clans seemed to be eyeing the other clan cautiously. I wonder what's going on with them. Shaking off the feeling of uneasiness that had overcome him, Blackblaze sat alone. I wonder where everyone is...

Coyotecry gave a swift nod, tucking his paws beneath him further. He trusted StarClan to see them through, even though tensions were high. He twitched his ear, listening to his clanmates answer his unspoken wonder. "Ah," he meowed quietly, "I wondered." He felt a twinge of guild; what type of warrior didn't know his own clanmates? Coyotecry blinked, his half-sightless gaze resting on the Clans milling around. He wasn't sure what to say, but welcomed the silence of te conversation. He enjoyed being alone with his thoughts. It was comforting. |

Re: October Gathering
RiverClan Oakenshade padded into the gathering area, his gaze sweeping around. He could tell all of the other four clans were already there by the crowdedness and mixture of multiple Clan scents. He weaved around the edge of his clanmates, tail flicking back and forth. Open for tagging SkyClan Shallowskip limped quickly in behind her leader, Grousestar. She quite enjoyed see all of the other clans,and was looking forward to meeting some new cats. Her green gaze scanned the clearing, the familiar, overwhelming scent of the Clans flooding her senses. She listened to the sound of many voices, and sat down under a willow tree, her orange pelt shining in dapples under the moonlight. Open for tagging |

"...why do you ask?" He looked at Blazingforest with an unreadable gaze. Personally, he believed that StarClan couldn't physically hurt the Clans, but mentally. His tail flicked. He knew many cats believed extremely strongly in the ancestor Clan, and he believed in them as well. He was just being Logical while believing, that was all. |
Re: October Gathering
(Please mention me, don't quote me! All of these are open, so please roleplay with me! The only thing I ask is that you match the length I wrote - unless you write more. if you write more, I will match you word for word, don't worry!) ThunderClan Azaleaskip padded into the clearing, purring to herself. She absolutely loved going to the gathering and meeting new cats. She particularly felt energenic this night, and she gave a little excited bounce on her paws as the scent of several Clan cats flooded over to her. Looking around, her blue eyes sparkled, hungry for a conversation. Having good relations with all Clan cats was certainly one of her priorities, even if she did have to go up against them in battle one day or later. her white fur was flattened, for she had groomed it soft like a willow plant before heading out. The grass felt cool beneath her paws and a small shiver went down the molly's spine as she wondered how this Gathering would turn out. Tensions between the Clans had been high, she knew, and there wasn't bound to be much friendliness between everyone that night. Swallowing hard, she stood in the center of a patch of grass, her ears swiveling to pick up on every little sound. Praying someone would at least be kind enough to approach her, she took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, StarClan glittering bright. Deep inside she felt as if StarClan was mocking the Clans, putting them up against eachother and simply watching with their flashing gazes and starry pelt, doing nothing to help. Forcing herself not to curl her lip, the siamese sat down, looking down at her paws as to not accidentally catch someone's gaze, and accidentally seem hostile. "Everything will be alright," she said to herself, really trying to convince herself that no fights would be provoked or break out among inter-Clan relations. ShadowClan Emberspirit padded through the entrance quietly, not expecting much to come of this gathering. Though her green optics sparkled, she all but knew that a fight was sure to break out. The Clans were weary and the warriors were wary, and that was certainly a recipe for disaster. Slightly, she felt bad that Jaypaw couldn't come, but knew that a misbehaving apprentice needed to be scolded for what he had done. Simply missing a gathering wasn't going to affect his warriorship, certainly. She almost purred in amusement at her dour adoptive son when she realized that this was no place to purr. Putting on a serious expression again, she swallowed hard and forced her russet pelt to stay flat. Darkness had often clouded her mind in these last few days before the gathering, and she had summed up every remaining scrap of her energy and spirit in order to convince her Clanmates to stay positive. Somehow she knew that things were changing - but she was oblivious to if it was for better, or for worse. Afraid she was able to make a good guess, she pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind and forced herself to sit in a patch of shade with the open sky above her, so she knew that all it would take was a simple upward glance at the stars, and she would be safe in the protective paws of her ancestors. Please heal the breaking ground and clear the rifts; all is sure to be well under your guidance, she prayed. WindClan Dewpaw weaved her way through the arriving cats, excitement swelling through her veins. All but oblivious to the rifts that had been rising between the Clans, her pelt bristled with youthful joy. She loved meeting new cats. This was her second gathering, and she was determined that it wouldn't turn out like the last. What was bad enough was that her apprenticeship was delayed due to the fact she had missed a good half-moon of her training, since the injuries she sustained at the last gathering were bad enough to do so. That is why when Blazingstar told her that she would be allowed to attend, she was in a swirled state of shock and nervousness. Purring like birdsong, she looked up and saw the glittering sky above her. Duskpaw hadn't been chosen to come, and it wasn't like he had wanted to anyways. The molly knew her brother well - the farther Duskpaw could stay away from other Clan cats, the better! She gave an amused snort and wondered where Moonsong was. With a jolt the young apprentice realize she probably shouldn't have strayed from her mentor's side, but she figured that as long as she wasn't reprimanded for anything, she was fine. Rolling her shoulders back, the tortoiseshell sat down with a hopeful gaze prying through the crowd of cats, eager to converse with someone she had never met before. RiverClan Blazingheart flicked his ears, extremely nervous. He had never attended a gathering, had never even met any other Clan cats before. As a former rogue, he was also completely unaware of how other cats would react to him if he knew. Even RiverClan hadn't taken his joining lightly, and he had had to fight his way through training like an apprentice to prove himself worthy. Even when he had done so, others seemed to be more or less wary when he tried to speak to them. Sighing to himself, the flame-pelted tom's gaze was downcast as he trodded into the clearing, although his gaze was rather eager. Despite his low spirits, meeting cats from other Clans and seeing the leaders converse held some kind of excitement for him. As if there was a color or a smell he had never been introduced to, he longed to see what the conversations had been like. Others had warned him that tensions were high among the Clans, but not knowing exactly what the boundaries of Clan tensions were, Blazingheart certainly did not know what to expect. Tilting his head, he sat down, away from the group of cats, wondering if anyone was going to approach him. Deep down inside he quite hoped someone would, so that he would have an excuse to introduce himself, as a warrior, to someone who knew nothing else of him. |
Re: October Gathering
Frostedbelly trotted toward the mass of cats, her red-tinged eyes narrowing slightly. The ShadowClanner's mate, Bramblewhisker had somehow convinced her to leave her kits with another queen for the time being. And the brown and white molly was already hating it. What if something bad happened to Runningkit or Seekerkit and she wasn't there to defend them? She would rather be protecting her sons than some other Queen she didn't really trust, frankly. Ink shuddered, looking at all the other felines around him. How quickly, it seemed, that the former kittypet's life had changed. For all of his life, he had known no other cats and now he was at a place filled with it. Now that the young tom thought about it, how was he even able to come? He had yet to even had his ceremony to actually technically become an apprentice in the clan, so it did seem kind of weird to be here. Petalfall sat down, wondering who the long-furred calico should talk to first. She could see a pair of other ThunderClan cats near her, but that seemed kind of boring. Hey, it was a gathering after all. She had to admit- it was pretty awkward talking to WindClan cats, especially the ones who weren't immediately hostile towards her. Rabbitstride quickly trotted into the clearing, after the rest of the WindClan cats. The small tabby tom kind of hated gatherings because of the fact that he did expect the clans to all start fighting about half the time, since all the leaders in one place for an extended amount of time... that seemed pretty bad, also thanks to the fact of the WindClan and ThunderClan rivalry. Swiftpaw shuddered. What if he did something wrong? He didn't want that, and what other worse place for that to happen than the gathering, where so many cats were in one place. If he just did one wrong thing, it did seem pretty noticeable, because again, all. The. Cats. The former loner was already used to being unoticed in his quite large family, but he didn't even know at least, like, all of these cats. (All Open) |

Re: October Gathering
@Aquarius, Dewpaw, is this long enough?
Chirruppaw parted his jaws, letting the scents of all the Clans wash over him. Excitement fizzed in his paws, and he looked around eagerly for some cat to talk to. It was his first gathering, and he was eager to meet some new Cats. Before long, his gaze flickered over to a she-cat who looked about apprentice age. Padding over quickly, the tom weaved around the many cats until he stood infront of her. "Hi!" Chirruppaw meowed, happiness and eagerness dripping from his high-pitched mew. "I'm Chirruppaw! Who are you?" By her scent, he could tell she was WindClan. He knew there was a small riff between their two clans, but who cared. This was a gathering! The ThunderClan cat blinked, studying her. "How long have you been an apprentice for? Is this your first gathering? Do you know who all the cats are?" Questions flooded from his maw and he grinned, unembarrased. "I talk a lot. I think it runs in the family." He laughed at himself, even though his joke didn't seem very funny. |

“Well, I mean, it’s not like StarClan is one cat. I like to think that your ancestors take turns watching over you. Sometimes they take breaks, and another cat takes over. I think... I think they watch over us so that they can just check on us. They... maybe they knew us while they were alive and just want to see how we’re doing. They want to make sure we’re okay. That we’re doing good. They also want to make sure we’re following the warrior code.” She gently glared at her son, knowing that he wouldn’t take that to heart. He needed to learn at some point that the warrior code was important. |

He himself had been to more than he liked, but he knew it was important to socialize with other cats. |

Tawnystream watched around closely, breathing in the salty sea air. She loved the beach, as much as she loved the cave near the sea she spent a few moons in with her mother and littermate. Though, she knew this gathering would not be peaceful, considering.. WindClan and all. The dilute calico observed the gathering, sitting nearby to where the leader's were sitting, though near cats conversations. She wasn't eavesdropping. No, she was just observing, though conversation was sorta what she wanted to do. With a clanmate, or not a clanmate. Tawnystream was more worried about WindClan, than anything else. She knew she was half-clan, she knew that. Though, no cat thought that was the case. Perhaps, it was.. way much better that way. What if she met her father in battle? What if he knew she was her kit? Would she knew? Tawnystream didn't worry about these question. Not really all that much. [OPEN] Mossdrop stared around the gathering, her yellow dandelion hues narrowed down to slits, well.. almost. Her long, thin tail lashed as she glared, daggers down at the clearing. She was itching to fight WindClan. Not because they so called 'killed' one of the clan's warriors. She.. knew the truth. No, she just wanted to fight, she was tired of sitting around, doing just hunting, and patrolling absolutely nothing, particularly. It would be interesting. A war, Mossdrop was.. technically excited. The adrenaline, the swiftness as warrior's fought. She was a fighter at heart. It was in her blood, in her veins. But.. she was also worried about her kits. They were apprentices, and the fight, if their 'was' one, would be their first. And, could be their last. Of course, every mother worried about their kits. Mossdrop was the type to hide it. She wasn't the type to show her worry anyways. [OPEN] Alderscreech was grooming her fur, eyeing her son from up above with a close watch. She hoped Blazingstar would make the right decision tonight, she really did. And, that the gathering went well. The fact that.. she convinced him to let her come to the gathering. She knew her kits would be just fine, she wasn't really worried about them either. Well, maybe a little. But still. They were a tough bunch, she didn't need them to be watched over every single second. The ginger tabby wasn't like that, anyways. She was stubborn, sassy queen, who wouldn't take no from her son. She chuckled good humoredly as she thought, amber optics filled with amusement, as they drifted to look at all the cats having conversations, her tail flicked. |

[open !! please @ me, don't quote, thanks !] a feminine, ginger-and-white tom padded into the clearing, his ears lowered in disdain. he hadn't wanted to come to the gathering, having much rathered stay in his den and sleep. honey-toned eyes glared at anything that came within their way, a barely audible growl emitting from the tom. his name was honeyfall. he clawed at the ground, his lips curled in an annoyed scowl. shadowclan, windclan, thunderclan. those were all he could see so far. his tongue flicked out to swiped across his maw, ginger tabby fur bristled. tension oozed from the leaders, while it seemed to radiate darkness and hostility from the other felines around him. honeyfall blinked, sliding into the shadows as he watched those around him, talking and sharing what had happened over the past moon. he sniffed and curled in upon himself. his gaze darted from side to side, breathing slow and steady. he resisted the urge to hiss and lash out at anyone who got too close for comfort, back arched and tense. he was prepared to lunge at any moment, a churning sensation within his gut. he would escape the gathering before the peace broke— he knew it would. common sense could show the awaiting battle within the clans, and he wanted nothing to do with it. |

He may not believe that StarClan would intervene physically, but they could still send clouds and end the gathering for tonight. |
