Gathering for December 2011 (Last one of the year!)

Leaf-bare had approached, leaving the clans frozen in their camps. However, this would do nothing to hinder their efforts to attend the Gathering.

The moon lifted high into the night sky earlier than any other time of the year, but it was all for the better; the sooner it was over, the faster they would be back in their safe and warm dens.

Sleepystar had taken the challenge of getting to the Gathering without using his legs. He rolled slowly towards the clearing, a small smug look of victory stuck on his face. "You owe me a fish, Tinywhisker." he whispered quietly.

Shadowsong padded to the edge of Fourtrees nervously. This was her first Gathering as some kind of leader due to Ghoststar's absence and it honestly scared her. What was she going to say out their leader not being there? Were they going to accept her up on the rock with the other leaders? She tried not to think about that as she signaled for the rest of Shadowclan to follow her into the clearing. She'd just have to push through this confidently.

Sparrowflight padded quietly into the camp after her leader, not at all bothered by his strangeness today, but with a solemn look on her face; She was still grieving over the death of her sister and the attack of Badgerfang.

Moonfrost trudged behind Sleepystar, head down. She wasn't in a good mood after the death of her apprentice and the eldering (xD) of her friend. And now this? RiverClan would be the laughing stock of the forest because of Sleepystar's insanity. She sighed, then went to sit at the bottom of the greatrock. Moonfrost had just noticed that this was her first actual Gathering as a deputy. She stood up a little out of pride.

Badgerfang limped along with her clan, her eyes down. As she reached the clearing, she sighed as she watched Sleepystar get to his paws. Why did he roll the whole way here? Glancing around, Badgerfang padded over to her sister and sat down, looking behide her she letting out a small gasp when she saw Shadowsong leading ShadowClan into the gathering. Had something happen to Ghoststar?

Seasonbreeze padded into the Gathering. Shadowsong looked pretty nervous. Hopefully she would do alright. She was their stand in leader and all. Seasonbreeze snarled to herself and went to sit somewhere at the edge of the Gathering.

ooc: no one ever said who came to the Gathering D;

ic: Scarletfire glanced around as she came in, this being one of the few times she'd been here. This was her first time at a Gathering as a warrior, and she spied out some familiar faces. Sitting down in a comfortable spot, she waited anxiously for the Gathering to begin.

OOC: Any warrior or apprentice can come. Oh, and Sleepy, you realize you could've gotten a fish by yourself, right? e.o

No one could doubt that Silvestar would take the most prideful way to enter; this being her first gathering as a leader, she decided to do it with much 'gusto', as one might call it. She lead ThunderClan, leaping over rocks and fallen trees to the clearing, stopping for only a second to peer down at those who were there already, and then charged down. When they reached halfway down the slope, they slowed down to a trot. Remembering her rather ungraceful first gathering, she decided she'd make this as least embarassing as possible, but instead, somewhat intimidating. Tail up, fur relaxed and shining in the moonlight, and paws stepping delacatly, she stalked into the gathering, sat by the Great Rock with her deputy, licked a paw, and drew it over an ear.
"Hello, old friend."
She said to Sleepystar, who smelled rather earthy, as if he'd been rolling all over the ground.

Ooc: pineh I put the list in Daily SC D: either way you were on it~

Shadowsong, as she padded into Fourtrees, looked around at the other cats with a new confident look. Soon she made her way over to Moonfrost knowing she was the only cat she really knew from other clans anymore. "Greetings," she mewed with a slightly shaky voice.

ooc: silly me~ I must've passed over it. It didn't notify me. xD

ic: Scarletfire looked at the unfamiliar cats, inhaling multiple scents at a time. She knew Shadowsong was to take Ghoststar's place that Gathering, and she had a small spark of envy deep inside her. Narrowing her eyes, her gaze followed her former mentor, and she suddenly softened it so she didn't seem suspicious. So lucky you've been deputy. Hmph!

"Greetings." She dipped her head. Sensing Shadowsong's nervousness, she tilted her head slightly and looked around. "Where is Ghoststar? Is she alright?" She asked, concern in her eyes. This was like a few days ago at fourtrees.

The dark she-cat stopped. What should she say? "Um, yes she is fine. She wasn't feeling very well but she is recovering now. Unfortunately not enough to be able to come."

Butterflywing padded into the trees and sat down next to badgerfang "how is riverclan" she asked calmly

Stonestar walked into the clearing queitly and jumped on the great rock
