April Gathering

[Darkstar]

(As always, please do not spam the gathering thread out with pointless posts. Please wait for one of the leading cats in your clan before entering. Leaders will not be doing their special talks.)

Darkstar entered along with FireClan.

[Dustpetal]

Dustpetal entered with IceClan, standing in for Wildstar. She took her place at the foot of the great tree, offering nothing more than a nod to the FireClan leader before settling down.

[Whitehawk]

Whitehawk entered with Treeclan. Beechstar would probably, or hopefully, arrive, but for now Whitehawk strode in and took a seat a few tail lengths from Darkstar and Dustpetal. "Greetings."

[Cloverstar]

As was customary, Cloverstar strode in, head high as she led RockClan into the clearing. She came to a halt in front of the tree, steeling herself briefly before jumping up onto the leaders' branch. Thankfully, this time, she didn't stumble.

She wrapped her tail around her paws as she sat, glancing over at the others as she did so. She inclined her head slightly in greeting. "Hello, Darkstar, Dustpetal, Whitehawk. Good to see you here."

[Cherryheart]

Cherryheart followed her evil leader Darkstar to the gathering. This was her first time. She sat down and looked around, wondering who to speak to. Maybe wait for some warriors to meet she thought.

[Finchpaw]

Finchpaw loped around the clearing, looking for someone else to talk to. It was his first gathering, and he dreaded that it would go wrong. He looked up at Cloverstar, watching as the brown and white tabby steadied herself on the leader's branch.  Inpatient for more apprentices to come, he pawed at the dirt.

[Rainlight]

Rainlight followed with the rest of FireClan. She hoped to meet cats from other clans, since she missed the last gathering. The she-cat sat in the back-ish middle of the clearing and looked around for other clan cats to mingle with.

[Applefall]

Applefall shortly followed after Whitehawk, flicking her tail at him as a farewell as she walked around the clearing, noticing a FireClan feline not too far away. She smelled like a queen as well. The ginger and white tabby flicked her tail as she pranced over, giving her fellow queen a warm smile as she sat down. "I believe we met once. Rainlight, correct? Apologies if I get it wrong. It's been a moon since the last Gathering, you know." she meowed with a warm laugh.

[Cherryheart]

Cherryheart narrowed her eyes to Applefall and Rainlight. She padded up to the two queens and smiled. "Hey Rain, Greetings, I don't think we've met before. I'm Cherryheart, senior warrior of FireClan" she purred

OOC: Sorry if I just barged in

[Rainlight]

Rainlight dipped her head to the TreeClanner. "Yeah, I'm Rainlight. You're Applefall, correct?" She meowed, getting a good vibe from the other queen. Rainlight turned her head as pawsteps approached. "Hey Cherryheart." She meowed casually, and waited for Applefall to talk again. The silver she-cat smiled. All of these cats seem friendly, she thought. Almost right when I walked in I was greeted. She turned her head to the entrance, looking to see if more cats would come streaming in.

[Applefall]

Applefall looked over as the warrior from FireClan came to join Rainlight and herself. She gave a nod to her name, taking it into a note in her mind. "I'm Applefall, correct. TreeClan queen, if you couldn't tell." she chirped with a laugh, flicking her tail. "How is FireClan?"

[Foxtail]

I entered the area, following our deputy, Dustpetal. Many cats swarmed around me as I gulped nervously. I blinked as I looked around. My first gathering. I quickly tried to locate a place with apprentices, but it was hard to move through the crowds of cats with my big body structure. I sighed as I picked a random cat closest to me and made my way to them. "I, uh... greetings." I said lightly, trying to not make eye contact.

[Cherryheart]

"It's great" She purred. She turned around when she herd a new voice behind her. "Oh, hello. I'm Cherryheart, senior warrior of FireClan" she meowed.

[Deleted]

(Finchpaw, hello der xD)

What exactly was Sagepaw doing here again? Oh yeah, right, socializing. Why? Because she wasn't good at it. Begrudgingly, she had forced herself to come along for this gathering. It wasn't that she was a rude cat, but often cats took what she was trying to say the wrong way. And that was frustrating. What better way to practice than on cats who you'd probably never see again?

Sagepaw slowly made her way away from her own clanmates, deciding to purposefully get lost in the crowd. Different scents mingled around her, causing her head to spin slightly at first from confusion, but she shook it off. Soon enough she had been able to distinguish one from another, and was able to guess which scent belonged to each clan. The scent of dust and stone belonged to the RockClanners; that much was obvious. Figuring out the differences between TreeClan and FireClan was harder, but Sagepaw was soon able to tell apart the cats from the forest from the ones in the meadows.

Looking around with observant dark green eyes, Sagepaw spotted an apprentice not too far off. He seemed to be from...RockClan? The build would make sense... "Ahem," Sagepaw cleared her throat as she approached the tom. Starting a conversation was never her strongpoint. Upon observing the silver tom even closer, she found his claws digging into the dirt. Apprentices. Never able to wait, are they? "Getting impatient are we?"

[Rainpaw]

Rainpaw twitched her tail, staring up at the leaders. Picking her way over to another cat, she mewed, "Hello."
