OOC: Oh... NEW THREAD! er... haha, sorta hyper here...
Owlclaw padded up behind Lillypaw, then turned and sat next to Lightstream, the senior warrior felt safe in the shade of the Great Rock, "Anxious?" he meowed, "It's so sad we have to leave so soon..." Even though his paws tingled, he gave a hard, thoughtful look.
Featherpaw bounded into the clearing with the rest of StormClan, looking for some one to talk to, she bounded up to the apprentice who smelt slightly of ForestClan. "I'm Feathertail, who're you?" she asked energetically. leave it to Oak to take a long time to get here, she thought playfully, and noticed the angry look on some EmberClan cat's face.
Infernostreak leapt into the clearing behind Cinnamonstreak. "mousedung" she muttered as she noticed the look on Cinnamonstreak's face. "Remember, we're not here to fight..." she meowed, although a fight would be good here... she thought.
Mousepaw smelt his way into the clearing, the gathering of cats was not hard to find, he noticed the smell of a cat who had the smell of herbs on her recently, and felt the passion for medicine in her heart. "Greetings," the blind apprentice meowed as he approached the EmberClan Medicine cat apprentice, Heatherpaw. "How's things going in your Clan..." he asked... "And I'm asking as a Medicine cat, not as an infoormant". He meowed. It was great he was first here.
OOC: Okay, there we go!

Heatherpaw watched as more cats entered the clearing. How is EmberClan going to deal with its issues with leadership? She thought sadly. Sitting and curling her silver tail around her sleek bodice, she turned to greet Mousepaw. "Hi, Mousepaw," She mewed happily. It was always good to see a familiar face. Heatherpaw had been quite a bit more open lately, with her ordeal over Clan territory. "Alright, but it seems... well, it seems like Clans are taking EmberClan's leadership absence as a sign that we are weak and to take our food." She frowned a little. "I think it'll all be resolved soon enough, especially with the flood blocking everyone off from their terrietories so they can't steal any more." She glanced at the little pile of herbs in front of her. Stonestream had told her to take only what was necessary and so she had, but it was still important to have the basic necessities like poppyseed. Glancing back up at the blind apprentice, she grinned.

"Hi Lillypaw! Is this your first gathering?" not waiting for an answer, Nightpaw went on, "Do you think you'll survive the journey? I bet I will. I hope none of the ForestClan cats will get sick. It's gonna to be fun en't it? I guess it..." but he stopped as another apprentice arrived, StormClan, by the smell of her. He quickly glanced at Lillypaw than the StormClan apprentice introduced herself as Featherpaw. Nightpaw was about to make a sarcastic comment when he remembered that they were supposed to be peaceful. "Oh, hi! Sit down," he said, very slightly regretfully. He had been enjoying himself, talking to Lillypaw. "My name's Nightpaw, and this is Lillypaw, we're from ForestClan. We were just talking about the journey. Do you think the new place will be safe? I hope we can come back soon. I like this forest."

Stormpaw walked towards Fourtrees slowly, her head hanging low. She was still worried and confused about the recent fights over prey and borders, and wondered how the other clans would react. I wouldn't blame them if they chase me away. Her grey paws whispered on the grass as she padded into the hollow. She flinched as she saw how many cats were there. Head down, she scurried over to Heatherpaw, who was talking to another apprentice, who she recognized as Mousepaw. Perking up slightly, she scurried over. "Hey Heatherpaw, Mousepaw."

(heh sorry for the wait ShoreClan! And did the rest of you guys in EmberClan see my absent note? I just wanted to make sure you guys saw that it was me that didn't know a Med Cat Apprentice was next in line leadership wise and to ignore that stuff he said to Heatherpaw in A Strange Cat cause Cinny woulda followed code. I just wanna make sure that's cleared up. ^^)
Twilightsong had spoken to Midnightstar shortly before they were to head out to Fourtrees to meet with the other clans. She'd seemed tied up about something and had told him to go ahead and lead the rest of the ShoreClan cats down. He'd hated to leave her, but respected her wishes and shortly after rounding up those chosen to go, he'd left camp with the other ShoreClan cats following. Blossomkit had borderline been a nightmare to corral due to her excitement at being told she could come, but in the end she'd gotten the hint that if she got more than five feet away from him or Swallowsong she'd be bald on her rear end.
They arrived in good time, but EmberClan and StormClan were already there and it didn't take a genius to figure out there was some major tension between the two clans. Not sure what to make of it, Twilightsong nodded politely to members of both clans and wandered through the crowd, slowly snaking his way towards the place where all the leaders sat. If Midnightstar didn't show up soon, he'd have to stand in for her and he really didn't want to do that. Hoping she was okay, he took a seat and mewed a friendly greeting to the StormClan Deputy Songheart.
Cinnamonstreak, with great effort, didn't spear Cloudmist to death mentally by glaring daggers at her, but his demeanor said she'd better stay well clear of him as he'd not forgotten her insults to EmberClan. StarClan will repay her for her wrong. He thought to himself mentally, though it didn't stop him from kneading the ground briefly with his claws.
He saw Heatherpaw pad over to sit next to the Stonestream and he looked away with a sigh. It didn't feel right, Medicine Cats running the camp on top of everything else they did. He wished Blazestar or Flameheart were back. It would make things so much less complicated...
Shadowjumper walked by then and he flicked towards her to take in her words. Briefly nodding he sighed again and kneaded the ground again with his claws while talking softly. "It's just not right Shadowjumper. I know you understand. We have to enforce our boundaries, especially during times like this! I don't know why I got painted a monster for only wanting what was rightfully ours... and after that filthy cat Cloudmist said all those things about EmberClan too!" He growled softly at thinking about it before forcing his fur to lay flat again.
"That's not the first time I've seen evidence of other cats taking prey from our territory either! But it's like it doesn't matter." He sighed again and looked over at Shadowjumper. "I wish Blazestar and Flameheart were here. They'd do something. I know they would!" He mewed fervently as his tail twitched. His eyes caught the sight of ShoreClan arriving and his eyes followed the large Deputy, Twilightsong, as he took a seat near Songheart to talk to her. He wondered if Twilightsong was aware of the issues between the two clans, and if he condoned it.
Cinnamonstreak's fur threatened to bristle up again so he forced his mind to think on other things. Heatherpaw was definately right about one thing, fighting here would do no good. And he wasn't about to disgrace his clan in front of StarClan during a meeting that was governed by a sacred truce.
Oakpaw was so excited, he'd not been able to sit still all day. That had lead to him getting a few lectures from his mom, but for once he's barely cared. He was going to FOURTREES! With SONGHEART! Okay, he was going with the rest of the Clan too, but SONGHEART was going! Proudly, he'd marched along with her, with his tail held high and once there, he'd joined Featherpaw in running around saying hi to everyone, but he kept watching Songheart throughout the night as he was still so very eager to please her and be just like her.

Swallowsong twitched her ears nervously as she looked around at the Clans. Seems like ShoreClan is the last to arrive, she thought. The brown tabby she-cat had been carrying a couple of mice and a plump vole in her jaws. She prodded her daughter with a paw and dropped her prey beside her. "Blossomkit," she meowed quietly, "Eat some fresh-kill before we start moving to Korkea Maa," the ShoreClan she-cat patted a mouse towards the milky white kit. Then she picked up the mouse and vole and headed over to Twilightsong. "Here you go, Twilightsong," she meowed, "Have some fresh-kill," she gave the deputy the other mouse.
Pebblestone walked over to some EmberClan cats, Shadowjumper and Cinnamonstreak. "Hello, Cinnamonstreak, Shadowjumper," he nodded to the tom and the she-cat in turn. "How is EmberClan?" he asked politely, just wanting to know what was happening in EmberClan.
Stonestream nodded to Mousepaw, Ripplestream's new apprentice and walked over to the silver blue ShoreClan medicine cat. "Hello, Ripplestream," he rumbled in a friendly way. "How are things going in ShoreClan?" he asked, mildly curious. Ripplestream smiled at the other medicine cat, dropped her packet of herbs and meowed, "ShoreClan is fine, but we have a new deputy," she mentioned the change of deputy and glanced at Twilightsong. "Oh?" Stonestream raised his brow. "Who is it?" He knew Pebblestone was only temporary deputy, but he didn't expect Midnightstar to change deputies so soon. "Twilightsong," Ripplestream replied, her whiskers twitching in amusement. "Yes, the one who left several moons ago and the once-naughty kit that hid practically all my herbs and made me find them again! Who would've thought that the crazy kit would grow up to be the Clan deputy?" her eyes glimmered. "How is EmberClan?"

Shadowjumper nodded he was right she had noticed that Stormclan has been around ther border alot.''I agree she had NO right to take our prey or speak about us.''Shadowjumper hissed with all her might. She whated for Blackstripe to enter the clearing.''I to miss Blazestar and Flameheart they would know what to do''Shadowjumper laid down she knew this showed weakness but she didn't care.
Lillypaw nodded to Owlcaw when she greeted Nightpaw.''I can speak for my self you know''Lillypaw replied to Featherpaw after Nightpaw introeduce them.''I don't think the leaders would take us to a unsafe place mousebrain.She maybe a appertince but she talked like a kit. She waited for their response to her ansewrs. She was clawing at the ground with nervousness.
Blackstipe enterd the clearing to see his sister talking to a Emberclan warrior. He went forward to see Pebblestone the former deputy.''Hello how is Emberclan''Blackstipe said flatly and turned toward his siter. Her and all of Shorelcan knew they where kin but he didn't think Emberclan knew.''Is this Brightfire?''Blackstripe asked his sister pointing to the other Emberclan warrior.
Snakebite came to Fourtrees and looked for Blackrain his former mate. He knew some Forestclan cats when he came to a Forestclan warriors he over took his bitterness on talked.''So Owlclaw right? Is BLackrain here?Snakebite asked the warrior. Snakebite felt very uneasy talking with otehr clan cat.
OOC: Hawk can I roleplay Brightfire?

Looking up as Stormpaw entered the clearing, Heatherpaw awaited her friend to get closer before speaking. She, too, still felt strongly the tension among EmberClan. It's so hard to hold it all together without leadership. It might be wise to appoint a temporary deputy to take over the duties until Blazestar and Flameheart return. But how would we decide, and who would decide? Who would make the best leader? This is all so hard. She grinned at Stormpaw. "Hey there, Stormpaw. I'll bet a newer start at Korkea Maa will help the Clans calm down."
Songheart sat diligently near where the leaders sat. Though she was not right where they were sitting, she took her position in StormClan seriously. Looking around at the EmberClan cats, she felt a stab of frustration. The thieving mongrels... she had seen evidence on more than one account of those prey-thieves trespassing on StormClan territory. Cloudmist herself had returned with a report of EmberClan doing such a thing as harassing. I'm not terribly surprised, seeing as how it might be hard to get along without a leader OR deputy, but StarClan often calls at the worst moments. Songheart glanced back at Oakpaw. She was silently proud of her diligent and energetic apprentice. Oakpaw would be a fine warrior soon enough, and she would miss channeling that boundless energy. Often she noticed with swelling pride that he respected her a lot, and though she didn't say it aloud, she was highly proud of Oakpaw. "Hello, Twilightsong," She replied cheerfully to the ShoreClan deputy. "How are things running for ShoreClan?"
Jetmoon hailed the arrival of more Clan cats. Things seemed to be running well in all the Clans. That is a good sign, he thought, chipper and happy despite the circumstance.

"How do you know the new place is safe? Maybe they couldn't find a perfect place and this was the most suitable so we're going. Maybe it is sort of unsafe a little, but safer than this forest and they didn't want us to worry because then we'll be weaker and because we're apprentices. Anyway, nowhere is perfectly safe. Even here there are foxes and badgers and twolegs and who knows what other rubbish." Nightpaw said defiantly. He hated being contradicted and even more being called a mousebrain.

Lillypaw gave a snort to Nughtpaw's worried voice.''I'm sorry I called you mousebrained''Lillypaw said as she pulled her tail around her body. She was waiting for Batpaw a fellow apperince of Forestclan.''Nightpaw have you seen Batpaw?'' Lillypaw purred to herself. She looked at Nightpaw with worry. He was made apperince right after she was and his mentor was a new warrior Jetmoon.

Stormpaw nodded. "I'm sure it will help, but..." She paused, thinking carefully. "I'm worried that with all the Clans on the plateau, violence could erupt more easily. There already losts of tension, especially between StormClan and EmberClan." She frowned. i'm partly to blame for that. It was mousebrained to steal prey now, when the Clans need to cooperate to survive. "And... What if the other Clans think we're weak? I mean, with Blazestar and Flameheart missing, things aren't like they used to be." The grey apprentice sighed. The storm clouds on the horizon seemed mirrored in her mind.

Feathermoon hurried into the clearing, running a little behind the rest of ForestClan. She had had a last minute catastrophe when she couldn't find the comfry that she had collected just the other day. Eventually she realized that her apprentice, Yinpaw, had been thinking ahead and already packed it for her. She laughed at herself now, thinking how stressed out she was to have missed something so obvious. She was here now, though, and she was glad to see that she was not the last one their. She didn't want to be waited on. Spotting the other medicine cats and their apprentices, she trotted over and greeted them, after she set down her herbs.
Swifttail followed a little behind Songheart. When he spotted her in the clearing, she was already talking with another cat. He hurried up to her and sat facing Twilightsong. After a polite nod, he scaned the cats milling about, to see who was already here. Just about everyone now, a few more from ShoreClan and StormClan and they would be ready to leave.
Nightfrost followed Twilightsong into the Fourtrees clearing. He glanced around quickly to see if they would be leaving soon. Not yet, he noted as a few more cats emerged from the bushes. Spotting Pebblestone chatting with some EmberClan cats, Nightmoon headed that way. "Hello, Cinnamonstreak and..." he couldn't quite recall the she cats name. "Shadow...?" he said, using the first part of her name that he did know to ask for the second.

"EmberClan isn't doing too badly, but we've scented mousebrained StormClan cats stealing our prey," Stonestream narrowed his eyes then he nodded to Feathermoon. "Hello, Feathermoon! How's Yinpaw's training going?" he asked. He looked around at the medicine cats, "Excuse me and Heatherpaw for a moment," he meowed and beckoned to his apprentice with his tail to draw her a little ways awa yfrom the other cats.
Ripplestream twitched her ears. "...all the Clans are suffering from lack of prey...the prey must be hiding from the coming storm..." she flicked her tail and smiled at her friend from ForestClan. "Hey, Feathermoon!" she purred as the ForestClan medicine cat set down her herbs. "Hello, Yinpaw," she meowed to her apprentice.
Cloudmist sat at the edge of the clearing sliently, scrutinizing Cinnamonstreak, her ears flattened and her green eyes shaodwed with a little bit of anger...

Heatherpaw listened to Stormpaw silently, and for a few minutes thought. "You're right," She replied. "There's a lot more chances for a fight. We'll just all have to be much more careful to not anger each other. We'll also have to deal with the rogues as it is, so hopefully there won't be a terrible amount of fighting." She glanced to the side, where her mentor was beckoning. The silver apprentice followed her mentor. "What is it?"
Songheart stood where she was, and nodded happily to Swifttail. Glancing to the side with leaf-green eyes, she spotted Cloudmist glaring at Cinnamonstreak, and turned her head to send a scathing glare at the tom. He had been the main bully, as she recalled.
"We know it's safe because cats already came up there and checked it out," Jetmoon said to Nightpaw, coming over to greet the ForestClan apprentices. He hoped they didn't mind that he was a warrior; he was a young warrior and still felt like an apprentice. "I haven't seen Batpaw, though he can't have gone too far."

A wide smile crossed Stonestream's face. "You probably know I'm not as young as you are, Heatherpaw," he rumbled, his eyes had a hint of amusement, "And you've been training very hard and your training as gone on for a long time...so, I've decided that once we get to meet with the other medicine cats at the half-moon, even though we will be at Korkea Maa, you will become a full medicine cat," the EmberClan tom's voice was proud and he gave the silver she-cat a lick on the shoulder. He had just wanted to give Heatherpaw a head's up.
