ok um hi here's my entry :D explanation: - part i: big leader tree thing - i added this bc tbh I was feeling cliche okayyy anyways! there could be like a pathway of branches or something that lets the leaders get up on the tree cause it's massive idk. the big leader tree thing(tm) is a large, oak tree with lots of branches coming out of it and uh not too leafy so cats can actually see the leaders. it has massive roots which the deps / medics sit on, which i'll explain later. anyway, the tree is healthy and not too old sooo it'll last a while :D - part ii: dep / medics thingy thing - in front of the pond, medics and deputy sit on the large roots of the leader tree thingTM. there are lots of roots so if there's like twelve deputies and a hundred medics coming it'll be ok cause they'll fit somehow. they sit in front of the pond, which connects to two streams that connect at the back of the tree and eventually come from the lake of longing because the gathering place is kinda close to the lake idrk. - part iii: gathering pool / streams - haha I'm so funny I called it the gathering pool instead of the moonpool lolllll-- ok not funny. anyway, the pool is clear, despite the lilypads growing on it, and reflects the moon / stars / sky so cats don't have to crane their neck up every ten seconds to see if starclan's angry cause that'd be painful. the streams are connecting to it mainly cause I thought itd be aesthetic lol and because. um. I don't really have another reason except cats could look at the sky at all sides without like. actually looking up. crine I'm ranting about necks when I should be actually be talkin about productive things for this design proposition ':D - part iv: seating (?) areas - so. it was mentioned in the requirements that cats need to fit and what not and I was like "okay so i can spawn a big clearing that just appeared out of nowhere yayyy." no lol I cannot do that. soooo it's a clearing BUT also there are trees (mainly spruce and oak) that cats who know how to climb can sit on. if not, cats can sit in the surrounding clearing or can like. go swimming in the pond I don't care I haven't had a clan cat in gens for a while :skull: ANYWHO! it kind of symbolizes all of the clans: mc trees, fc clearing, uc pond. if another clan founds then cats could add something idk but I think that'd be a sweet and sentimental idea and I like sentimental ideas so I thought of it and that there is my over simplistic thought process woohoo - part v: surrounding area - contrasting to the bright clearing, the surrounding area is densely forested; thankfully the full moon and stars can help guide cats back to their clans at night. the forested area could be fun for immature apprentices or roleplayers to explore in and meet up in and whatnot. over time, paths were carved through the underbrush that help clans get back home after gatherings and yes. - - - - - okay so! that's the end! hope you enjoyed! <3
