Rainpelt, eyes the size of full moons, gazed up at the stars. "Yes...," she mumbled. "Wait, no! That couldn't have happened!" It would appear that she was just talking to the stars, but she was actually having a conversation with a StarClan cat. "How could this be?! You sent us Amberstar, and now you say that he's gone?!! Where did he go?" There was a long while before anything moved. Then Rainpelt lowered her head and mewed,"I see." There was another pause, the Rainpelt lifted her head. "But why? Now who is to lead us?" Another pause. "Well, it certainly can't be me." Another pause, only longer this time. "So," she began. "You're telling me that a cat that is similar in name to Amberstar will be our leader? Well, who's that?!" Rainpelt studdied the stars, and they twinkled. "Why can't you tell me?" They twinkled again. "Well, what if I can't find him on my own?" Once again, they twinkled, only all together this time. "I'll know?" Rainpelt asked as if she hadn't expected an answer any where near it. Rainpelt sighed, then said,"I wouldn't bother you anymore tonight," and with that she slipped down the side of the Great Hill and into camp. It was late, but she decided that something would have to be done. Climbing to the top of the Tallrock, she called,"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Tallrock for a Clan Meeting!"

The lithe she-cat blinked awake as Rainpelt called forth the Clan, and puzzled briefly over this fact. Surely it should have been their new leader, Amberstar, who would hold the Clan meetings from now on...? Nevertheless, Featherpaw yawned and got to her feet, shaking small bits of dirt that had decided to cling to her pelt.
Leafpaw was already out in the clearing, and she blinked, as bemused as her fellow apprentice, as Featherpaw came out of the den and sat with her. "Rainpelt's been out here for a while," she muttered to the grey she-cat. "She was looking up and muttering. It doesn't look too good..." With that, the two made their way over to the TallRock.

((*thinks* should I roleplay Gingerstar as Gingerclaw and make her go the meeting?))

(I'll just say everyone's there. And yes, you should.)
"Cats of HillClan!" Rainpelt began again. "Amberstar... He has left us to go to different lands. The reason is unclear, but he's gone just the same, and never to return. The next leader of this Clan is not going to be me. It's going to be a cat that has a name somewhat similar to Amber..." She wondered which cat that would be.

(Pumaheart's in GRASSCLAN.)
Annoyance crept up into Leafpaw's mind. She hadn't gotten a chance to discuss things with Amberstar--to make it clear she was a loyal HillClan cat. And now he's vanished?! The apprentice narrowed her eyes at the TallRock while Featherpaw, beside her, twitched.
The she-cat was, indeed, trembling, though not with anger. HillClan was having an unfortunate time, indeed...First Lichenstar, whom she had known from birth, dies. And now their new leader, Amberstar, had abandoned them. Without warning and without reason. These events saddened her immensely, and she could almost feel her heart, heavy in her chest, bleeding softly--cries unheard.
(...Featherpaw's gettin' a little emo tharr. O.o)

Gingerclaw padded out of the warriors den and sat in front of TallRock to hear what she was saying, she had just caught what she had said last. I wonder... who's name is like Amber... mine I guess... there might be someone with a different name that's closer though.

(This sorta starts when Rainpelt called the meeting, obviously not in chronological order...AND THE COLOR CODING THING IS A BRILLIANT IDEA! I shall use it.......)
Feralclaw was actually taking a nap when he heard Rainpelt's announcement. He lazily opened his eyes and yawned, trying to avoid getting up. He stretched and almost half unconsciously wandered into the area where the other cats were gathering. He was indeed very tired, but he paid attention okay. WHAT. Didn't we literally just initiate Amberstar??!!?!?! Starclan, what have we Hillclan cats done to deserve this?!

(OH MY GOSH, I'M SO STUPID! XD And it's nighttime already, okay Feral?)
Rainpelt continued. "Can anyone think of anyone's name that is close to Amber? It could mean something orange, or something or the sort." She gazed in Gingerclaw's direction as she said that.

Gingerclaw stared back at Rainpelt and decided to speak up, "Well, my name is Ginger so it's pretty close to Amber..."

(Well, Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me.......-_____-)
Feralclaw was beginning to get a little impatient and gazed around, thinking about Gingerclaw's comment. I can definitely see where Gingerclaw is coming from. Feral has no relation whatsoever to Amber, so I guess I'm out of the leadership thing. Oh well, didn't really want that much responsibility anyway... He pretty much just sat there and waited for a response.

Rubyheart, her eyes glittering with something similar to triumph, put in, "Well, you're name isn't the only one close to Amber. Ruby is similar to amber- it's a similar color, and they're both gems." She looked directly at Gingerclaw, and added, "Of course, it could mean someone else entirely..." Her gaze darted around the clearing, looking for someone else who's name could mean that they were in the running.
Icefoot watched Rubyheart challenge Gingerclaw with a bit of confusion. Didn't she see that Gingerclaw would make a good leader? Rubyheart wasn't quite as well suited for the job, but he could see her point about the names. "Why do you think Rubyheart's challenging Gingerclaw?" he asked the cat sitting next to him, who was Lakeheart.
"Don't ask me," Lakeheart murmured back. "If you want to ask anyone, ask Rubyheart." Icefoot blinked. "Why? She's obviously talking with Gingerclaw and Rainpelt. I wouldn't want to interrupt."
((By the way, Rubyheart's just challenging Gingerclaw because she sees this as a chance to rise above her sister, who's only a deputy.))

Gingerclaw smiled and said, "I know that there are other cats that have similar names, I was just volunteering myself."

"I can see that," Rubyheart said, keeping herself from snapping at Gingerclaw. "I was just pointing out that we shouldn't all assume that you're the only one for the job because you volunteered first."

Moonpelt had listened from the doorway of the Warriors Den and padded up to speak, "I think that Gingerclaw should be leader because she is kinder than Rubyheart, and I know this because she has always been deceiving to other ranks lower than her, I, being younger than her, know this as a fact because she did this to other cats my age. Also, Gingerclaw is older and wiser than Rubyheart."
