July Gathering 7/25

Ooc: Oops, I was trying to make him sound like he was just observing, not so aggressive. Hm..

Tigerstorm sighed softly at the Thunderclan cat's response after the others. Maybe he had been wrong judging him they way he had, seemed like he wasn't so clever as he had first appeared. "I never meant to cause any strife, certainly did not think I threatened you two." He meowed with a slight edge of boredom in his tone, yawning and glancing to the leaders to see if they were ready to start. They weren't.

"I was just interested in what you two could be so focused about, that when I spoke up you immedietely were defending yourselves. I didn't imply anything...you did by your scents and behavior. I never really cared at all." He replied, meeting Badgerstep's angry gaze with a calm, serene one with no interest or any emotion at all it seemed. He looked back to Foxflight before shrugging his shoulders lightly. "Nothing, it seems I was wrong. I thought there was more of an air of...what would be the word, slyness about you. But, seems I was wrong."

*EDIT* Ooc: Ah, darn! I was so meaning Foxflight and looked to your screenname thing and....FAIL Dx Lol, my bad, 'tis fixed.

((OOC: Swiftfire is near the other deputy's train. This is Foxflight you're talking to XD))

((OOC: I'm thinking it's just a typo. Try going with it anyway. x3 ))

Tanglestar was beginning to get impatient. All of this bickering was very tireless and useless. She jumped up into the tree to take her place next to the rest of the leaders. "Enough it is time to share clan news.", she growled. She took a step back inviting one of the other leaders to go first. So she sat down and waited until one of the other leaders began their regular clan announcements.

Spottedstar flicked an ear in agreement. Things were moving too slowly. They were wasting moonlight. So when Tanglestar stepped back, the ginger and white she-cat took a few pawsteps forward in preparation to address the Clans. "Cats of all Clans! We gather here again under the light of the full moon to exchange the news of our Clans. ShadowClan will speak first tonight." She glanced stiffly around the clearing as she did a mental check-list in her mind.

"ShadowClan has fared well in the last moon. Greenleaf has brought its heat, as per usual, but the tall pine trees on our territory give us plenty of shade. Your water supply has also yet to be affected, with the Star Pool having plenty to support us all." The last bit wasn't entirely true, however. The Star Pool wasn't quite as big as she had made it sound, and if it became their only source of water, there could be a problem. But she hadn't been lying when she'd said the heat had yet to affect it.

"Our prey is still in good supply, and we have many apprentices in training." Having that said, Spottedstar dipped hear head to the other Clans and returned to her initial spot amidst the other leaders, inviting one to step forward.

Shadowfang followed in behind Spottedstar as she lead the clan down to the gathering. As her leader took place on the great rock she too took her place beside the rock where most of the deputies met. She normally didn't talk to others unless they came up to her.

Foxflight listened to the Shadowclan warrior's response and he quickly became infuriated with the tom. He was talking too much and was way too bold for his liking. Plus, that bit about him not being sly didn't sit well with Foxflight at all.

Mulling over what the tom had said, he realized he'd done his job well. Not to be detected had worked. Even this tom had forgotten his slyness. Still, Foxflight didn't like that excuse and his tail start to flick back and forth. Baka, was all he could think over and over again in his mind. Basically he was saying 'idiot' in a different tongue over and over again.

"Dear warrior, we were only discussing our opinions. As for that remark of my slyness, there is a lot you don't see in this world that is right before your eyes," he said with a knowing glare.

Suddenly Tanglestar stepped up and started the meeting. Foxflight turned kept looking at the Shadowclan tom for a moment, then at Badgerstep, until looking at his 'leader'. Shadowclan was first to discuss their news. Spottedstar made it sound as if Shadowclan was living a swell life with no tensions, but he knew there was hostility still among Thunderclan and her clan.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Swiftfire looked up as Tanglestar started the meeting. Spottedstar began and she was glad to hear that they were doing well. The idea though of them drinking from the Star Pool made her feel funny. She kept her face from showing her disgust though, not wanting to be rude. What clan would be next to report.

I gotta do what I gotta do

Firestar stepped forward, "To cats of RiverClan, and WindClan. We apologize for our actions and hope for forgiveness. There is no reason we need to continue this or go in to details with the other clans." she looked to Foxstar and bowed her head. Afterwards she turned back to the cats. "Cats of all clans, RiverClan is well and prosperous, and nothing has weakened us in anyway."

FoxStar looked at FireStar, and couldn't help but give her a soft smile. She held no grudge against her. She has gotten better, as in, FoxStar was. She was starting to open up, and she was starting to trust her cats slowly.

She decided that it was near her turn, so she took a step forward, letting her head rise up high. She felt confident and proud. She was starting to become a great leader, at least, she was slowly starting to. She was trying to, at least.

"WindClan did have a battle with RiverClan, twice, but that is past us now. I forgive her, as long as she forgives me in return. On other news, I got my lives, and we have a new deputy, SwiftFire. We have new kits, and a new apprentice, GoosePaw. Nothing bad has really happened so far, nor has anything really changed.

This greenleaf has gave us good things in turn, yet we could say that there has been downsides that should not be said," she couldn't help but pause for a moment, as if another leader could speak, but she soon spoke once more, "WindClan has done swell, with prey running rather well and plentiful. That is all to say."

She felt as if it was unneeded to say anymore. She sat beside Firestar, and spoke softly, "I hope you remember what I said, the thing about being a leader, the message that I sent through StormStrike, because I have to do it everyday."

She looked at her softly, and then sighed, looking back over across the cats in the clans below.

-

Goosepaw felt eyes bore into his fur, and he couldn't help but purr with amusement. He shook his fur, and puffed, letting him look almost like a warrior compared to size.

((OOC;; RunningPath did something to Mudstripe, Spotted. DirtFur is trying to speak with RippledCrest, Tangles.)))

[Deleted]

Mudstripe, who had been more focused on the event of the Gathering than his Clanmate, hadn't noticed her at first. But when she brushed her tail across his nose he wrinkled it and glared over at her. "What do you want?" the tabby growled, flicking his tail in disdain. "If this is about me telling Spottedstar what you're up to, forget it. It won't work." The warrior knew he should have done the right thing and told Spottedstar already, but he hadn't gotten the chance. Maybe tomorrow. Definitely soon. He wasn't going to let a she-cat who snuck away to hang out with loners in her spare time go unnoticed.

[Deleted]

RunningPath couldn't help but let out a giggle. This was partially about that, but she liked how he squirmed. Maybe not in a way 'cause he was embarrassed, because he didn't like it.

"This isn't about that, buddyboy," she mewed softly in his ear, "I'll tell her, there's no doubt about that."

The black she-cat flicked the tip of his ear with her tail, and purred softly. Ah, she forgot how fun it was to flirt with toms.

[/center]

[Deleted]

Mudstripe just scoffed. "Whatever. You'd have to move pretty fast to get to Spottedstar before me. Believe me when I say, it'll be me who tells Spottedstar. You'd just twist your story into one big, pretty lie about Crow being outside our boarder or something." The tabby opened his jaws to say more, but he felt her tail flick his ear. He pulled his head back with a hiss. "Will you quit that? Seriously, you're acting like an immature kit!"

[/size]

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar stood forward when it came to her turn to speak. Although her clan was still coming to terms things were looking up for Thunderclan. "Thunderclan is faring well, we have recently accepted a new warrior into our ranks, and are glad to have Dirtfur as our own. We have plenty of prey and kits are in abundance.", she meowed steeping back in conclusion to her news.

Rippledcrest turned and smiled shyly at Dirtfur. Their last conversation that they had shared had been so awkward and now words had escaped her. She felt shy and timid when the tom sat beside her. He believed that he was unworthy of understanding and friendship, yet he was just the opposite. If anything he needed it even more. "H-hello Dirtfur.", she mewed with a shiver.

[Deleted]

Swiftfire listened to the news and was glad to hear the other clans were faring just as well as Windclan. During these hot moons it was hard to tell what would happen.

Her ears pricked as Foxstar gave her news. She smiled and had to stiffle a laugh at Goosepaw's reaction at being mentioned.

Swiftfire was glad that Foxstar hadn't mentioned the details of the battles between the clans, but was surprised she didn't mourn the death of the last deputy or even report the news of it. So far the gathering had been going great and she dared not to interrupt on such a matter. When her head tilted up to look at the leaders she was glad to see Foxstar talking with Firestar with no hostility.

Then Tanglestar spoke and again the deputy was glad to hear about the neighbor clan doing so well.

[Deleted]

RunningPath sighed, and looked at Mudstripe.

"Do you want to know why I spoke to him? Do you want to know how I know him? I don't twist stories like that. I'm not a manipulator in that type of way," her tail flicked against his side, ignoring the rude comment that he said afterward.

She didn't seem to care at the moment anyways.

-

DirtFur smiled politely towards Rippledcrest. He should apologize to her, even if he did do it before. He couldn't remember.

"Sorry, for our last conversation. I would like your friendship," he mewed softly, letting his head rest upon his paws.
