gathering [feb 2024]
Welcome to our February Gathering! To provide a stress-free and concise way to see what our high ranks have to say each moon, we have provided the following prompts for all leaders, deputies, and medicine cats to respond to. This is required for leaders and deputies, and optional for medicine cat apprentices and special high ranks. The in-character thread is not required to join, but highly encouraged! For all non-high rank attendees, threads may be started within the Gathering Place to socialize among Clanmates or between Clans. Information discussed can be referenced from the completed prompts of the leaders. The main Gathering thread will be primarily for leaders & deputies, but non-high ranks can chime in if the situation calls for it! The order of arrival can be decided between leaders. As a reminder, this is the first Gathering since the Kingdom split from the clans as well as Cinderstar's first public appearance as the new leader of PrairieClan. Leaders.

REGARDING PLOT INFORMATION.
Maplefrost will first start out the meeting by introducing Vulturepaw as his apprentice. He will state that Vulturepaw will become a medicine cat apprentice officially at the next half-moon meeting.
Maplefrost continues to echo his leader and state that PrairieClan is doing all that they can to find the missing kits from MistClan. He offers Lotusfire and Spottedpaw his condolences for the seemingly-futile search, but tries to offer them hope if he can.
Maplefrost acknowledges the increasing loner problem, but establishes that PrairieClan can handle themselves when it comes to dealing with this issue. Likely, there is a lot of arrogance and patriotism in his voice. The medicine cat is prepared to aid his clan through medicinal needs if the clanless get too comfortable and start lashing out at his clanmates.
At any mentioned of his mother, Littlestar, Maplefrost will become silent and frigid. If anyone else tries to pry at him for information or condolences, he will likely snap at them in anger and frustration. However, he will make sure that it is known that PrairieClan is continuously sweeping the RidgeClan border where her fur was found. Due to this new development, Maplefrost can be seen sitting closer to Lotusfire and Spottedpaw rather than his RidgeClan counterparts.
REGARDING STARCLAN.
Maplefrost does not have anything to say, except to question why StarClan is so silent after the war.
REGARDING HERB SUPPLY AND/OR ILLNESS.
Maplefrost states that their herb supply is steady, thanks to the hard work of their herbalist, Lionflower. The ginger tom will express that the herbs supply looks promising as Leafbare is slowly coming to an end. |

| mushroomstar, "and the world's gonna know your name
cause you burn with the brightest flame"
|
> Mushroomstar will proudly announce that Avenskit has become Avenspaw. REGARDING MISTCLAN'S MISSING KITS. Shared only with leaders/deputies: With how long it’s been since the kits have gone missing, Mushroomstar’s hope is slowly diminishing, but being a parent himself, he has yet to admit defeat. He’ll make it known that RidgeClan cats are still aware that they should keep a lookout for the kits and that if anything pops up, he’d go straight to Hailstar with the information. Shared with all attending cats: Mushroomstar would announce that there’s been no sign of the kits on RidgeClan territory, but that patrols know to keep an eye out. REGARDING THE INCREASED LONER PRESENCE.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Mushroomstar wouldn’t have much to say about outsiders, except maybe that RidgeClan doesn’t encounter them very often. Shared with all attending cats: Mushroomstar likely wouldn’t acknowledge this topic since it doesn’t affect RidgeClan all that much. REGARDING THE RECENT ALTERCATION BETWEEN RIDGECLAN AND MISTCLAN.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Mushroomstar still harbors some anger over losing a life to Dawnclaw and how Hailstar failed to punish Dawnclaw for breaking the code, but greater concerns have since consumed him. Unless someone else brings up the altercation first, Mushroomstar won’t mention it. Shared with all attending cats: Mushroomstar will not address the brief border conflict unless someone else does before him. OTHER INFORMATION.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: > The Kingdom: Mushroomstar will try so hard to disregard this subject, as if The Kingdom had never been created, but the presence of Kingdom cats will be impossible to ignore. He will do his best to stay civil, but there’s a possibility he might mutter a snarky remark or two about The Kingdom. > Littlestar’s disappearance: Depending on what is shared about Littlestar’s disappearance, Mushroomstar could either passionately defend RidgeClan’s innocence or simply offer his condolences - or even both somehow. He will also closely observe Cinderstar and Hailstar to see if the MistClan/PrairieClan alliance still stands. Shared with all attending cats: > The Kingdom: Mushroomstar will welcome The Kingdom to their first Gathering as a newly-formed group, but that’s probably all he’d want to say in front of everyone. > Littlestar’s disappearance: Mushroomstar will welcome Cinderstar as the new leader of PrairieClan.
| laurelfern, "far away from your trouble and worries
you belong somewhere you feel free"
|
> Laurelfern will announce that The Kingdom is flourishing and has even welcomed their first litter. REGARDING MISTCLAN'S MISSING KITS. Shared only with leaders/deputies: With lots of ground still left to explore in The Kingdom’s territory, Laurelfern will promise to check every nook and cranny herself for MistClan’s missing kits. Shared with all attending cats: Laurelfern will announce that every Kingdom patrol knows to search for these kits every time they leave their camp and if they find anything, Hailstar will be informed immediately. REGARDING THE INCREASED LONER PRESENCE.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Laurelfern will have a hard time sympathizing with the clans and their outsider problem simply because The Kingdom doesn’t treat outsiders unfairly, so she’ll probably remain silent if the topic is mentioned. Shared with all attending cats: Since The Kingdom doesn’t view outsiders as inferior but the clans do, Laurelfern will bite her tongue so as to avoid causing conflict. REGARDING THE RECENT ALTERCATION BETWEEN RIDGECLAN AND MISTCLAN.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: If this subject comes up, Laurelfern will just do her best to keep the peace. Shared with all attending cats: Laurelfern won’t acknowledge the tension between RidgeClan and MistClan. OTHER INFORMATION.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: > Littlestar’s disappearance: Laurelfern will have compassion for Cinderstar and the rest of PrairieClan, and will add that she looks forward to seeing Cinderstar at many, many Gatherings to come. Shared with all attending cats: > Littlestar’s disappearance: Laurelfern will announce that she’s sorry PrairieClan lost such an admirable leader, but she believes Cinderstar is the best cat to succeed Littlestar.
| lotusfire, "follow me into the endless night
i can bring your fears to life"
|
> MistClan’s missing kits: Lotusfire will remain phlegmatic at any mention of MistClan’s missing kits. They’ll accept condolences from others with a brisk nod, but won’t encourage further conversation regarding the topic. > Increasing outsider presence: Lotusfire would comment about the cowardice of the outsiders who trespass and steal, but then scurry away at the first sign of trouble. > RidgeClan/MistClan border altercation: “Shouldn’t Mushroomstar be over it by now?” Lotusfire will scoff, should anyone bring up the conflict to them. > Littlestar’s disappearance: Lotusfire won’t say a single word about Littlestar’s disappearance. > The creation of The Kingdom: If anyone brought up The Kingdom to Lotusfire, they’d simply announce how little they care. Kingdom cats want to freeze their tails off in the mountains? Fine, go for it. REGARDING STARCLAN.
There isn’t much to say about StarClan, except for how their ancestors haven’t spoken to them recently. REGARDING HERB SUPPLY AND/OR ILLNESS.
Lotusfire will reveal there’s been a case of illness or two in MistClan, but they were able to handle it with what resources they had. |

#s://i~ibb~co/rc8xfgw/cinder~jpg NEW WARRIORS, APPPRENTICES, LITTERS. Cinderstar will announce the addition of four new warriors to PraireClan's ranks: Darkflame, Dustnose, Sparkstorm, and Brightfire. She will also introduce Maplefrost's new apprentice, Vulturepaw, and wish him well on his MCA journey. REGARDING MISTCLAN'S MISSING KITS. Shared only with leaders/deputies: Cinderstar would start with expressing her deep condolences to Hailstar and Briarpelt (and seek out Irisfrost, if she's in attendance). She'll reaffirm her commitment to locating the kits, and try to soothe any lingering concerns that PrairieClan was involved. She'll also report what she's learn from the Barn Cats - that no one's seen the kits, but that loner/rogue activity has dramatically increased in the last few moons, and is beginning to make the Barn suspicious. Shared with all attending cats: In addition to confirming there's been no evidence of the kits on PrairieClan territory, Cinderstar will share the news from the Barn that she shared with the leaders and deputies. REGARDING THE INCREASED LONER PRESENCE.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Again Cinderstar will repeat that the Barn is starting to get nervous at the increased loner presence/activity. She'll reveal that the Barn and the Cabin Sect are on fragile terms, despite once being neutral toward each other, and that there seems to be an influx of cats coming from far places. Shared with all attending cats: Cinderstar will share an abridged version of what she shares with the other leaders and deputies, plus a reminder for clans to be vigilant about their borders, but also respectful toward loners who may have just wandered too far, and simply need to be turned around. REGARDING THE RECENT ALTERCATION BETWEEN RIDGECLAN AND MISTCLAN.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Cinderstar would play neutral facilitator between Mushroomstar and Hailstar, if it's needed. She doesn't want to get in their business, but she also doesn't want violence rehashed at the gathering. Shared with all attending cats: She will not address this to the clans at large. This isn't PraireClan business. OTHER INFORMATION.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Regarding Littlestar, Cinderstar would (mostly) share the truth of what PrairieClan knows: that Littlestar disappeared near the RidgeClan border, and evidence points to an accident with the river. She will not share any evidence of blood/fur found. She would then thank the other leaders for welcoming her as PrairieClan's new leader, ask each of them for any advice they're willing to share, and introduce Nettlefang as her deputy. Regarding the Kingdom, Cinderstar would simply greet the Kingdom leaders neutrally. She has little stake in this game (for now), but is curious to see how this group develops. Shared with all attending cats: Regarding Littlestar, Cinderstar would emphasize that her disappearance seems to be an accident, and encourage cats to seek help from their loved ones when they feel the world is too dark for them. She would then thank the clans at large for welcoming her as PraireClan's new leader, and formally introduce Nettlefang as her deputy. Regarding the Kingdom, Cinderstar would have little to say other than a polite welcome. TO MUSHROOMSTAR (absurdjinx )Cinderstar would pull Mushroomstar aside to let him know that Ashfang has left PrairieClan to join the Barn. She would inform him the late warrior Bearclaw, now known as Summit, survived his fall in the river and lives (with amnesia) in the Barn. She would encourage Mushroomstar not to seek Summit out, as it seems his life in the Barn is a happy one, but to let his family know he's alive and well. |

Hailstar NEW WARRIORS, APPPRENTICES, LITTERS. Hailstar will announce the apprenticeship of Riversong and his kits, along with any litters and warrior namings. REGARDING MISTCLAN'S MISSING KITS. Shared only with leaders/deputies: Hailstar thank the leaders for continuing to search. He will tell Cinderstar specifically that his clan is seeking to reach beyond their borders and to the barn cats, asking for permission to either pass through or around their territory. Shared with all attending cats: Hailstar will remind the clans that the kits are still missing and that the search is still on. REGARDING THE INCREASED LONER PRESENCE.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Hailstar will once again subtly suggest aid to Prairieclan if the loner presence proves to be more than a mild nuisance, framing it more as a reminder that the option is there. Shared with all attending cats: Hailstar will wish Prairieclan luck and reiterate a goal for peace in the valley. REGARDING THE RECENT ALTERCATION BETWEEN RIDGECLAN AND MISTCLAN.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Hailstar will not address this unless someone else brings it up. Shared with all attending cats: Same as above, Hailstar's staying silent until provoked. OTHER INFORMATION.
Shared only with leaders/deputies: Hailstar will welcome Cinderstar and thank her for any information on Littlestar. He'll tell her that Mistclan will keep an eye out for her or anything that might've caused her disappearance, though they are quite far from where it happened. Hailstar will remain neutral to the Kingdom, determined not to look like a potential enemy or an ally. Shared with all attending cats: Hailstar will calmly and as emotionlessly as possible welcome the Kingdom. He will welcome Cinderstar openly and be respectful. To Cinderstar ( tor ) :Hailstar will try to discretely offer support to the new leader, both in regards to the loners and the newness of her position. He'll try to subtly suggest that he'd be willing to help answer any questions regarding leadership, and less subtly suggest he'll let her more frequently visit the Moonpool if she needs to regarding Littlestar or Starclan, all she needs to do is ask and maybe let some warriors visit the barn to search for kits. Rainstorm, REGARDING PLOT INFORMATION.
Rainstorm will be sympathetic regarding Littlestar's disappearance. She'll be open and friendly to the Kingdom, aiming to learn if they need aid or to trade herbs. She may not be a fan of them, but she doesn't want anyone hurt or sick. REGARDING STARCLAN.
Rainstorm will simply say that Starclan is quiet. REGARDING HERB SUPPLY AND/OR ILLNESS.
Rainstorm will keep vague about any illnesses or deaths, and will make it clear she's willing to trade herbs, even if she's not 100% certain what her current stocks are. |

#s://media~discordapp~net/attachments/1025539847819120731/1099374484936478801/toad_1~jpeg REGARDING MISTCLAN'S MISSING KITS. Toadfeather is concerned that too much time has passed for there to be any hope of finding them, but he thinks it's important that if they don't succeed in finding the lost kits, they at least discover what exactly happened to them. If there are kit-nappers in the Valley, that's something they all need to know. He sympathies are with MistClan but privately he doesn't think they have done enough to retrieve their lost. REGARDING THE INCREASED LONER PRESENCE. RidgeClan doesn't see a loner presence on their borders or within their clan. He will not bring up that he's met a loner within RidgeClan territory. While he isn't offering assistance or judgment, he is curious about PrairieClan's thoughts on this subject. REGARDING THE RECENT ALTERCATION BETWEEN RIDGECLAN AND MISTCLAN. Toadfeather will follow Mushroomstar's lead and not address the altercation unless someone else brings it up. OTHER INFORMATION. About the Kingdom: Toadfeather won't bring them up, but he will be listening for especially the opinions of the leadership of the other clans. If they are brought up to him, he will carefully remain neutral about them. Littlestar's disappearance: Offers his condolences to Cinderstar and the PrairieClan, but otherwise believes it has little to do with RidgeClan. This is not the first time in clan history that a warrior has been lost to the river during leaf-bare. |

REGARDING MISTCLAN'S MISSING KITS.
Briarpelt knows that the more time goes on, the less likely they are to find the kits at all, nevertheless alive. He feels that losing Irisfrost's kits is a terrible failure for MistClan and their leadership, and is deeply grieved by it and on Irisfrost's behalf. He continues to send out patrols with their best trackers to find any trace of the kits or their fate, and will go far to leverage favors with the other clans for their support in this endeavor. He just wants closure for Irisfrost, and for MistClan as a whole. He's a hundred percent in support of Hailstar asking other clans for passage, and will beseech other clans at the gathering for their support as well. REGARDING THE INCREASED LONER PRESENCE.
He believes the brashness of the loners in crossing clan borders, thieving prey, and maybe even kit-stealing has gone on long enough. They clearly don't respect the clans or their borders, and it's time they're taught it again. Privately, he believes it's PrairieClan's lackadaisical approach to their borders that has led to this decline. He will assure that MistClan's borders are guarded and their territory is secure. REGARDING THE RECENT ALTERCATION BETWEEN RIDGECLAN AND MISTCLAN.
As with Hailstar, Briarpelt will not touch this topic unless it's brought up first. Privately, he finds the whole ordeal a mess, and an embarrassing one at that. He'd prefer not to talk about it. OTHER INFORMATION.
He will be stiff but polite in regards to the Kingdom. Briarpelt doesn't approve of that whole ordeal, finding it terribly indicative of RidgeClan's (and Mushroomstar's) tenuous control. But he knows how important it is to foster good will, so he keeps his trap shut about it. Cinderstar and Nettlefang will be greeted cordially and respectfully. He extends his wish for StarClan's blessing in their leadership. |
