He nodded in understanding. He'd been mostly nervous for his first gathering, but it was definitely exiting as well. And this was the only time of the year that the clearing looked so spooky and fun. "So how is your clan doing?" He finally asked curiously, taking a seat beside the she-cat.</sub>

Thicketpaw laughed and shook his head to confirm her idea. "That's right, today is just a special celebration. Though normal gatherings are fun as well." A little excited to tell the news of his clan, Thistlepaw straightened up. "One of our warriors Arrowstrike was just named deputy, and we have a new queen as well." Cocking his head curiously he regarded his companion. "Is all well with Rockclan too?" Frostpaw

Willow looked at Snailpaw. "Treeclan is doing great. Lots of apprentices for sure." She meowed. Maybe she made a new friend? She hoped that. "How about your clan?" She asked kindly.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half-crazy all for the love of you. It wont be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

Brackensky

Comforted by the she-cat's positivity, Jackalfrost let his stiff posture relax. He definitely could have chosen a worse person to speak with for his first gathering. It seemed Cloudclan was smiling at him. "You're right, I shouldn't have let it worry me," he agreed with a bashful purr. To cover his embarrassment the tom bent his head and gave his dark chest a few licks. It at least gave him time to think.

"How are you finding it so far?" He asked curiously, lifting his head. "It's all very exciting to me."

POST ●	Petalfur I glanced to the side, seeing a she-cat with that fishy smell of IceClan speak to me. She was referencing to Spiderstar, and I snorted. "That's my boss. I wouldn't speak lowly of him." I flicked my tail, glancing back at my superior before turning my amber gaze back to this she-cat. "Who are you?"

LAIKA OF GS!

_{"Rockclan is small, it always has been. We're like one big family though, so it's nice." He knew Treeclan was regarded as one of the largest clans beside Iceclan, but he'd never wish for Rockclan to be bigger. He liked his privacy. "I don't really have many apprentice friends to hang out with. What's it like?"}

[Brackensky]

Brackensky considered the question for a few moments. 

"I find it... Interesting." She decided. She was happy to be of Rockclan, true... But still. She'd lived her life in a different manner for a long time before settling. Thus, she didn't perceive the other clans and their cats in the same way some of her clanmates most likely did. She wasn't excited like Jackalfrost seemed to be, to meet cats different than her. She thought all cats were different and she treated it with interest because meeting new cats was always a good experience. Nothing exotic, a rather mundane thing that could entertain her for eternity.

She noticed her conversational partner seemed to have calmed his nerves, having no longer held a pose as stiff as a tree's trunk. She gave a small smile at that. "Hm... I sense that this gathering is not like most however." She purred. "Certainly seems more festive and strange than I would expect of a simple assembly."

Oceanstar

[Willowheart]

Willow nodded. "Yea Treeclan and Iceclan are very big clans. Rockclan does seem nice. Not to many apprentices you have to deal with. But in Treeclan there will be more warriors soon. That'll be nice." She purred happily.

"They can be annoying or mean." She said with a little huff as she thought about Whitepaw. Cinderpaw was fine but Whitepaw.....he made her growl and get angered.

[Nighthowl]

(Spiderstar that was amazing XD)

Nighthowl entered the clearing as a visible spirit, she could actually be seen by the world. The former fireclanner looked around to find some cat who was derpy enough to talk with a dead cat. She looked at the new high ranks, looks like Darkstar lived longer than Wildstar and Jackalfrost had joined the ranks, along with a few others. She passed through a cat and stared blankly, "Don't know if ya felt that but sorry."

[Sandstone]

Sandpaw felt something brush against her and turned her head to see something in front of her. Hearing it apologize she dipped her head. "Oh its ok." She meowed kindly to the Cloudclan warrior she guessed that was what it was. "Im Sandpaw. Who are you?" She asked. For the first time in her life she was talking to a spirit.

[Sunsetshadow]

Of course it's his first Gathering. Sunnyset muttered to herself. Most of the apprentices here probably were new to the whole Gathering event like she was. Though, in all honesty, she had simply avoided the last one. "Yeah. I don't much like these big events... too crowded...." Sunnyset replied to Spruceclaw with a shrug. Though her eyes widened just the slightest at the sight of a ghost in the distance... walking through a cat... Sunnyset prayed no spiritual felines would 'bump' into her.

[Frostpaw]

Frostpaw smiled at @eyepatch, wondering if all the clans were going through the same thing. Somehow, all four clans always seemed to coordinate their rank changes. Maybe a message from Cloudclan? Then again, she had no idea if any clan beside Treeclan and Rockclan had been affected. She would have to listen hard to the announcements then.
Excited to share her own news, she happily spoke, "Well, we've got a new medicine cat, Anemonemist, and a new queen, Brackensky. It sure seems that the clans swap ranks at the same time, doesn't it?"

[Dappledleaf]

♔

Dappledleaf padded into the darkly-lit clearing. As soon as she made her way past all of the decorations, she was met by Spiderstar, who appeared to be... singing? She simply gave a nonchalant shrug. It was probably better to leave that be.

As it was her first time at a gathering, ever, and now as a queen, she was a little intimidated. Looking around, she kept her eye out for anyone she knew, or perhaps a queen/deputy/medicine cat/warrior (or anyone really).

He supposed it was a good thing that Rockclan was receiving some new blood in their leadership ranks. The smallness of the rocky clan wasn't exaggerated, he'd learned that himself throughout the course of his training. Surely a new medicine cat and queen could only do them good? "I wonder if the other clans are the same?" He murmured, unconsciously voicing Frostpaw's thoughts. "The clans have certainly been busy. I hope everything settles down soon, I don't like all this drama." Frostpaw

Brackensky

Interesting....Wasn't the worst word she could of chosen. Though, as just a guess Jackalfrost would say he was a bit more excited to be at the gathering than the queen was. He was a people person, loved meeting them and loved talking to them. It was just kind of a bummer that he was a little awkward as well.

Pleased that he actually knew something, the deputy shook his head. "No, this gathering is special. We're gathering here to honor the spirits of the dead, traditionally Cloudclan, though it isn't unheard of for the Darkpool to pop up every now and then. Tonight is when clan cats and the spirits of past warriors can mingle freely." With his tail he gestured to Nighthowl, a spirit conversing with an apprentice, to prove his point. "It's been rather peaceful so far. I kind of wanted a little excitement."

Briefly he wondered if the two Darkpool cats who had haunted his clan for the past moon would appear. He hoped not, they were both nuisances, and the fact he hadn't had the power to banish them annoyed him.
