Gathering #4 April 4th

[Loki]

You may now begin.

[Loki]

(Tawnyclan the ceremony will continue, we'll be playing here as if this is after the ceremony)
Lokistar leading the 'gathering party of fifteen' padded slowly across the blood red mood. Her group of
cats seemed quiter then usual. lokistar hadn't been well lately, these good days seemed to have taken their toll on her. She padded a little closer, Tigerflame joining her side. He slid on the wet mud and cursed. "Leaf bare is good, but the mud is not," He commented makin conversation. "It is, Sinewkit was not pleased that he was left home, I believe he might have followed us." She mewed, though little concern was in her mew.
"I already thought of that, Nightails had permission to sit on him if he were to try. But Lokistar, What about Garnetheart and the kits?"
Lokistar sighed, "We cannot mention them, Dewclan have not been too friendly lately, if Abbysclan knew they would be encouraged to come across and try to take them, Darkclan are too far to even know..." This time concern was heavy in her throat. "I hope garnet heart is alright, the kits too. It woul be too much of a blow to loos them..."
"I believe your right," Tigerflame mewed shallowly, " As foolish as Garnetheart is, He's a good cat, strong too, but what if Abbysclan do have them?"
"Then we'll attack, and they'll soon have their tails between their legs..."
Tigerflame flexed his claws, "I would enjoy that... Lokistar."
"hmmm... tomorrow the cats that are with us now, will search the whole territory, Their absense is... mysterious."
"Yes, Lokistar."
"How mych prey is left?"
"Plenty Lokistar!" We won't need to go hunting for a while... quarter of that deer is left and so much is left of yesterdays apprentice assesment."
"Wolffang found the deer?"
"Yes, Lokistar."
"Those deer travel through our territory quite a lot... if we hunt their young, we cannot loose with prey. Wolffang will be the tracker."
"Understood..." Tigerflame said this with a hint of malice, his nose used to be the most sensitive, his own apprentice beat him. He was proud truthfully.

Eventually they came to the Bloodstone clearing, which was actually on top of the cave called 'Moon fall' Where cats connected with Starclan.
Lokistar looked up to the huge bolders where a higher ledge was rested upon, This is why she brought her clan early. She began to climb up, jumping hurt her joints, so she took her time, until she was the top. She looked down at her clan. "I regret nothing..." She mewed to her self.
Her ears pricked, howls in the distance... wolves. She looked down, Wolffang stood and looked in that direction, nobody else took too much notice. "Darkcloud... I'm sorry." Lokistar mewed, "I'll find your killer, I'll evenge you."

(OOC: Uh... oh! Does anybody know who her killer is? LS' and group should know...)

[Guest]

Swiftstrike sat calmly waiting for the gathering to begin.

[Longstorm]

OOC: Abyssclan will be here soon. But first, Darkclan! I think that Prophecy from the 2nd Gathering should be brought up. You know, the one Silverfur and Thornstar gave?

IC: Thornstar, leader of Darkclan, proudly (and somewhat vainly) strutted into the camp. He was followed by very few cats which was surprising for him. Another surprising fact was that Blueblossom, his beautiful mate, was absent. He sprung onto the top of the red rock and nodded with a smug look to Lokistar.

[Runfast]

Longflight shuffled his feet nervously, wishing that Foxclaw was here instead of cats he rarely spoke to. He looked over at the other three cats who had come: Gingerleaf, Blizzardgaze, and, of course, Robinsong. That she-cat gave him the creeps!

Blizzardgaze (with her one good eye) saw that Longflight was looking at them, and wondered why. Why would the senior warrior be interested in them? She shrugged to herself and wondered when Dewclan and Abyssclan would get here.
Then, she spotted Solarstorm and the other Tawnyclanners. She stifled a hiss of anger. Filthy, mangy, no good... She sighed and looked at her paws.

OOC: Hey, Loki? In BG's bio, it says that Solarstorm killed BG's best friend a few years back. Is that okay?

[Meany]

Robinsong saw Longflight looking at her and she raised an eyebrow, tossing a moc-seductive look his way and making a kissy gesture. After that, she looked up at her father, Thornstar.

OOC: Do I have fun or WHAT.

[Longstorm]

Thornstar looked back at his daughter and his smug look changed to pride and love. Despite his madness, his daughter meant everything to him.

OOC: Oh? And your mate and 4 other kits mean nothing? FINE. BE THAT WAY. lol...

Gingerleaf kept to himself mostly. So when Longflight looked at him, Gingerleaf looked away.
He sighed and shuffled one paw, thinking about the sky and how the leaves swayed in the trees...

[Loki]

OOC: Fine with me BTW Darkclan wanted to make an entrance didn't they? lol!
IC:
Lokistar yawned and rasped her pelt, all of Tawnyclan were well groomed and reasonably fat,well... fat for a forest cat. (OOC: ) "Greetings, Thornstar," She mewed.
Tigerflame looked to Blizzardgaze and flattened his ears. "Who's she?" He muttered to Solarstorm who was talking to Strikefast. He looked at Tigerflame and followed his gaze... "How would I know?" He mewed mutly. Strangly, he didn't like Tigerflame. Solarstorm's definition of Tigerflame was; Cocky, little brat, Added more to the point that Tigerflame was around Lokistar, they talked all the time as if they were sister and brother, not him and his sister, Lokistar. Tigerflame had became the right paw cat.
Since Tigerflame had recently became a senior warrior, he led the patrols, another job taken from him.
Solarstorm turned around and began to chat to Strikefast, a more decent warrior- in the eyes of Solarstorm.

Tigerflame snorted and turned away. Rainstorm (OOC: lets say he had told Mosspaw to talk around a bit) He padded over. "You look like a horse with that face..." He mewed.
Tigerflame smiled, "Who? me?"
"Hmmm... It seems that Thornstar is at a disadvantage, If he was closer, we could take so much territory... Shame their on the other side of the moore..."
"You shouldn't speak like that. You don't know anything yet..."
"I guess..."
"But we all know who would win in a battle though..."
"Tigerflame. As cocky as ever, with a mew like that, anyone would think you had a thousand cats ready for battle by your side."
"I don't need a thousand cats to tell me how to win a fight. As long as I pick them right..."
"I guess so..."


Wolffang looked away from the howling, now just silly murmurs in the wind...

[Guest]

Swiftstrike glanced around at everyone. She decied to let her self go into her private thoughts about all the problems going on between the clans and how evrything was so tense.

[Loki]

At the sight of Swiftstrike, Rainstorm padded over. "Everyone's not in a good mood..." He mewed looking around, "It seems the clans want to shred the others throat."
Overhead was the cawing. "That raven again!" He hissed.

Alas' (can I still use that word?) it was Carr, No one could mistake his mottled feathers which were confusingly beautiful.

[Longstorm]

OOC: I want to give the cats a little more time to chat. They rarely get this chance, if you check out the other Gatherings.

IC: Gingerleaf looked around and saw Swiftstrike. Gathering up his courage, he went up to the she-cat and mewed,
"Hello. I don't think I've seen you here before... I'm Gingerleaf." Not a pick-up line, but a true statement. He nodded to Rainstorm - Gingerleaf hadn't heard what he had said.

Thornstar nodded to Lokistar and watched his Warriors.
"Where's Dewclan and Abyssclan," he growled to no one in particular.

Above, that same little robin (OOC: I LUB robins) perched next to Carr. The robin, Serok was his name, tweeted a greeting to the large bird.

OOC: Ima make a bio for that little bird, cos I want to play him always!

[Guest]

"Swiftstrike and yeah this is my third gathering"(ooc: please let thi this be right) she said in her ussual happy voice.

[Longstorm]

Gingerleaf smiled.
"Well, I guess that would explain it... I haven't been to a Gathering in a while. Mostly, I've stayed home to watch the border or to watch the camp." He leaned in and whispered, "Between you and me, some of my clanmates can be downright paranoid sometimes."

OOC: Though this IS the 4th Gathering, there was a terrible blizzard last full moon so no one went.

[Guest]

Swiftstrike laughed slightly "Well for me all i can see is ho tense everything."

[Longstorm]

Gingerleaf chuckled.
"Say, has your clan spotted a strange, tall, spindly creature? It has big ears and a long face? It's kinda like a horse, but different. I saw one near our border but it ran away."

Thornstar looked around impatiently.

A short time later, the wind whipped through the trees, dead leaves and what little powdery snow that was left whipping around in circle. When it cleared, Searingeyes was atop the red rock, Cunningheart, Tigerfrost, Switchblade and his Choosing sitting in the clearing.
Naturally, seven other cats were hidden in the bushes around the clearing, reinforced claws clacking now and then.

Searingeyes nodded curtly to the two other leaders, but Thornstar just hissed at him.

[Loki]

"Huh," Solarstorm looked back, "what on earth is that noice?"
Through out, there was a tundering of many paws on the ground,
Lokistar stood watching warily, "What in Starclan..."
leaves began to rattle and a wave of heads turned. A White tome with tan rings around his
eyes padded into the clearing, followed by a mass of cats, all in neat rows of three. By the leading tom was... Oakclaw?
They all poured into the clearing and sat in the front of the ledge, it was lucky that the Bloodstone could fit atleast three clans. The white tom joined the leaders on the top of the high ledge, his ebil calculating amber eyes glazing as he studied the three in front of him, an old cat and a cripple at least one looks lik a worthy battle...?
He concluded. "greetings," He said in a slky almost creepy voice, "I am the Mudbloodclan representative, my names Canine..." (OOC: I'll make a bio in a bit...)

"Mudbloodclan?" Lokistar mewed awe and confusement clouding her mew, "Your not supposed to bring a whole clan to the gathering..." She mewed flatly.
"A whole clan?" He chuckled, "Don't be silly, your joking, this isn't even a quarter of our cats.."

(all the cats I play do this -_-) Solarstorm and others all stood, looking at the new weird cats.
They looked exhausted but...
"Who are they?" Solarstorm called...

Canine laughed, "Its a truce isn't it, were no threat, we wish to join you all in this celebration."
Lokistar lay back down, "Well... Were waiting for two more clans..."
"You mean... These are your gathering parties, I thought this was just one.."

[Guest]

New clan whats going on here thought swiftstrike.

[Longstorm]

OOC: Hey, we're here! A post before your's, Loki.

IC: Searingeye's eyes glowed ever so slightly as he looked at Mudbloodclan.
"It would appear that Falsecall's treachery knows no end," he murmured to himself.

Thornstar's neck fur bristled and he bared his teeth. He didn't like these cats. They didn't seem right.

[Loki]

Solarstorm looked to the other Tawnyclanners, they all sat.
Lokistar looked down.

Oak growled and padded up, he was muscular now, he bore the teeth of the wolf "He (claims) killed).
"Canine, We must proceed."
"Oakclaw?" Lokistar blinked, "I thought... we thought you died!?"
"It Oak, the crack when fast light strikes." He mewed emotionlessly.
Lokistar narrowed her eyes.
"Oak, is one of the loyalist. The lord trained him, The lord is kind and considerate, he helps the weak
and gives them the chance to join the strong, we'll be in paradise soon..."

OOC: lol Only because I fail hehe

[Longstorm]

Gingerleaf took a step forward and sniffed the cats. They smelled odd... Like clay and dirt...

Searingeyes hissed softly then shrugged. It wasn't time. Not yet, anyways. He turned to Lokistar and mewed,
"Where is Dewclan, do you know?"

Cunningheart glared at the cats, scoffing in her mind. Some Warriors they must be - they still smell of the City, and they don't even have dog tooth claws! She clacked her own reinforced claws, as did Tigerfrost.

[Loki]

"Dewclan... I wouldn't know these days, but I know that they seem to make an enemy of us all." She mewed calmly, as if Searingeyes was a comrad, she couldn't care whether he wasn't or was. "Would you please to go first?" She mewed to him.

[Longstorm]

Searingeyes nodded and stepped forward.
"We have new Warriors; Tigerfrost, Switchblade, and Moanfang." He didn't expect anyone to be yolwing praises so he continued, "The thaw has woken up the prey so Abyssclan is eating well. There is no sickness in the camp, Abyssclan is strong." He cast a look at Oak and whispered in the back of his mind,
I know everything... He smirked as he sat.

[Loki]

Lokistar stood "Congratulations on the new warriors." She said it as if she was apoligising for her clans reaction,
and padded forward, "new leaf has been good to Tawnyclan, We havn't needed to hunt today and perhaps not tomorrow either and like Abbysclan, we have new warriors as well, Strikefast, Stormshadow, Sunshift, Wolffang and Skyblaze. And we have one more apprentice in training, Mosspaw."
Tawnyclan sat up.
"Dewclan have made it clear they are an enemy of us all, so prepare your kits for battle," She mewed not taking the Dewclan threats as anything to worry about.
"I can't say anything truly terrible has happened..." Lokistar mewed, "So that'll be all."

She padded back and waited.
Whispering down bellow occured as Canine padded forward.
"Mudbloodclan have had much fun, we have new warriors two," He began to name an impossible list of warrior...

[Guest]

OOC: Uh, since no one's against it, Pigeonwing will attend the Gathering.
IC: Pigeonwing stuck close to the Tawnyclan warriors; her fighting days were long behind her. If any cat fought her, she would definately lose.

[Loki]

"Shadow, blaze, Hex, citrus and Corner," Mewed Canine looking up as if he was finding it hard to remember. "We have several platoons in training and two new generals, Oak and myself." He looked around at the cats and then continued, "Our lord is as fit as ever," he looked at the Abbysclan cats with a glint in his eye, he knew Shadowstar had not been well..."We're all happy and that is about it."
He turned, tail high and the Mudbloodclan cats began to cheer, though their uproar reached the skies. Oak hushed them with a single glare, and they smiled in an odd untrustworthy way.

Lokistar flattened her ears, Canine's silky tongue was not soft enough for her to believe him on.
They were all up to something, something dangerous was going to happen.
