Moosestar glanced to Palestar as she nodded and swept forth on the great rock, seemingly agreeing sparked by Fawnbriar's suggestion. He realized now that such a question he asked would likely be answered in her announcements.. but it still spouted curiosity. The fact she didn't seem terribly disturbed meant that she either was gaining a good poker face, or that he was simply sick and would return next moon. He would not let himself forget about that tail twitch, though..
As Palestar stepped forth and gave her news; upright, clean, and weakness-free, as usual in effort by each leader, Moosestar nodded in good faith, before stepping forwards himself.
"Prey is similarly running well in ThunderClan, and no sickness, predators, nor death have struck our ranks, however, that is not all for my news.
I would like to announce that I have appointed young Kestrelswipe to work alongside me, and, StarClan willing, for many moons to come!
However, as I warned last moon, ThunderClan has detected increasing presence of rogues, which have become more and more daring as the moons have passed. I warn cats of all clans to keep their eyes and ears open, for I am unsure how far their influence has, or will, spread."
Moosestar looked upon his own clanmates, particularly Sunstrike, after he spoke his warning. While he guessed that on one paw, this could be considered a weakness for ThunderClan, he considered such a view to be worth it if for the preservation of the clans and their health.
And if a clan did choose to try and encroach.. he had good faith in his warriors to settle such an error in understanding.
They still stayed in their spot silently, glancing curiously at every cat that's interacting with another. Brackenwing would then look down and see some rounded rock under its paws. They place a paw at the rock, their eyes gleaming with interest. This detracted Brackenwing from trying to listen to the leader's news and only had them take the rock as their collection - hiding it under their tail.
Although it was nice to collect an interesting rock, they start to wonder if they'll ever meet any cat to interact with. And even show this rock they've found? hmmm.

Fawnbriar was pleased that her suggestion at getting the Gathering started was received with agreement and watched, bright copper eyes unblinking, as Palestar and Moosestar both stepped forward to deliver the news from their clans. Listening politely, she noted their news so far was rather unremarkable news, except perhaps that rogues were around. If only WindClan's issues were that simple, but she knew better.
The chocolate tortoiseshell she-cat glanced at Boldstar to see if he wanted to go next and felt the fur along her spine rippled when he nodded for her to go first. Swallowing thickly and taking a deep breath, she stood and stepped forward as she had seen the other two leaders do.
"I know you all have noticed Badgerstar's absence when we arrived at the Gathering this moonhigh." Her voice was strong and, with what seemed like the entirety of the clans now looking at her in unblinking silence, overly loud. She was pleased that she seemed to be keeping her voice steady despite all. "Unfortunately, Badgerstar will not be returning. StarClan has confirmed that twolegs ambushed him, put him into the belly of a monster, and took him away."
Her folded ears waited for the uproar to begin as her tail twitched uneasily and she continued before any questions could be asked and interrupt her. "We sent warriors to try and find where Badgerstar had been taken, but unfortunately, we were unable to retrieve him. As such, StarClan has named me Fawnstar and I now lead WindClan. I have chosen Aspenberry as my deputy."
There. The big announcement for WindClan was over. She paused now, waiting for potential questions from any of the other three leaders or even any from the gathered warriors down below. Fawnbriar also glanced briefly at Rowanglade, the medicine cat's presence reassuring as she stood representing WindClan.

Boldstar left to the top of the Great Rock with the rest of the leaders. Palestar’s announcement was the usual banal recitation of how well things were going. Boldstar had doubts that they had managed to avoid the deaths entirely, however. It wouldn’t make sense for it to have not affected WindClan, too.
Then Moosestar spoke, finally appointing a Deputy. The tom had dragged his paws about it long enough. About time the leadership of his clan be secured. Ah, the announcements of young leaders. Moosestar actually provided actionable information about the goings on in his clan. Thankfully the River should serve to keep the worst of the outsiders at bay, unless they got particularly bold.
WindClan, however, had news almost as interesting as what Boldstar himself had to say. Badgerstar carried away in the belly of a monster was rather exciting. Fawnstar’s bearing and confidence were solid for one so young to the Rock. He wasn’t sure this would weaken WindClan as much as it might with a less confident new leader.
Boldstar turned green eyes across the gathered cats, gathering himself before he began speaking. ”Yesterday RiverClan managed to solve the mysterious deaths plaguing all of us.”
”Land prey is causing the deaths. Our Medicine Cats found a greenish colored mush in the stomachs of fresh-kill. Following my sudden demise from the same malady.”
(OOC: Thunderclan brings continued news of rogues sighted, and Riverclan reveals the truth about poisonous green mush found in afflicted prey)
