Sorry for the lateness. :c
Bramblestar was very sick for the past IC moon or so, and also lost a life (THIS IS UNKNOWN TO EVERYONE, EVEN THE MEDICINE CAT [UNLESS SPOTTEDSKY WANTS TO BRING SOMETHING UP, THAT'S COOL TOO, @lilykit We should have a thread sometime anyway lol]), so that is the IC reason why he didn't do the ceremonies.
For a list of all the ceremonies, click this:
If any of the above characters are no longer in MidnightClan for whatever reason, please notify me and I will switch their mentors to someone else.
Also, very low muse, so the RPing parts are going to be pretty short and filler-filled (haha) and bad.
StarClan, there were sure a lot of ceremonies to do that evening; but that was at least to be expected. Work piles up when there is no one around to do it. Bramblestar had been severely ill and confined to his den for nearly the past moon. Near the end of leafbare, he was not even allowed to speak due to an infection in his throat and lungs, let alone drag himself out of his den, crawl onto the Skystone, and announce the ceremonies. That would be downright degrading, and Bramblestar refused to make even more of a mockery of himself before his Clan. After he lost his first life--which had happened during the night when he was alone, so no one but he and StarClan knew about it--his condition gradually started to get better. "It must be your wonderful healing skills," Bramblestar had told Spottedsky. He couldn't have anyone know that he was weaker than before--at least, not yet.
And so finally, after getting the confirmation that he was indeed well-enough to do them, Bramblestar emerged from his den and leaped onto the Skystone. A cool Newleaf breeze ruffled his coarse fur. It felt so refreshing after being in the den for almost a moon. Bramblestar opened his mouth to give the call, but a hoarse couple of coughs pushed their way out. He shook his head slightly, cleared his throat, and continued, "All cats loyal to MidnightClan gather beneath the Skystone for a Clan meeting." His voice wasn't as loud as usual, and there was a slight raspiness when he spoke; but all the power and commanding tones were there, as always. "I would first like to apologize for worrying you all with my recent illness, but I am glad to say that I am now recovering back to full health. I thank you for remaining strong and active without me for the past moon. We shall arrive first at the next Gathering just to show that we are stronger and as united as ever. Now, I have delayed these next announcements for quite long enough. There are many ceremonies to be done tonight."
(dangit I forgot to put in the "your name is now -paw" part, but I'm NOT going back to edit all those in so let's just pretend he says that)

Bramblestar paused for a moment to allow congratulations before speaking again. "Now, we shall move on to the Warrior ceremonies. There may be far less new warriors than new apprentices, but they all deserve their titles just the same."
"To begin these, let's start with Berrypaw. Please step forward. You have trained hard to learn the ways of a warrior, so in return, your warrior name shall be Berryblaze. May you continue to honor MidnightClan, and may StarClan light your path for many moons to come.
Yarrowpaw, please step forward. You have trained hard to learn the ways of a warrior, so in return, your warrior name shall be Yarrowfang. May you continue to honor MidnightClan, and may StarClan light your path for many moons to come. (You have NO IDEA how much I wanted to do Yarrowsparrow loll)
Flamepaw, please step forward. You have trained hard to learn the ways of a warrior, so in return, your warrior name shall be Flamethorn. May you continue to honor MidnightClan, and may StarClan light your path for many moons to come.
Brackenpaw, please step forward. You have trained hard to learn the ways of a warrior, so in return, your warrior name shall be Brackenheart. May you continue to honor MidnightClan, and may StarClan light your path for many moons to come."
Bramblestar paused yet again to allow the new warriors to be welcomed. He let out a another single, unintentional cough and quickly moved on. "These are not all the ceremonies that are to be done. Two high positions--a deputy and a medicine cat apprentice--still need to be named, as our past ones have, well, disappeared.
"Dappledkit, please step forward. You have shown an interest in the tasks of a medicine cat, and after much deliberation, I have decided to award you with the title of medicine cat apprentice and the new name of Dappledpaw. Your path will be longer and unlike most, but your mentor Spottedsky will be there to help you along your journey.
And to conclude this night, the naming of our next deputy. I have also given much thought to the matter during the time spent confined to my den, and I am confident in my choice. This cat has proven herself time and time again as a loyal and hard-working cat with the Clan's best interests in mind. She is a great asset to the Clan, and I would be content to have her take my place should anything happen to me. May StarClan approve of my choice of Ashstep as MidnightClan's newest deputy. Congratulations to everyone, and you are all dismissed back to your dens."
(Haha, sorry Ashstep, no choice for you! >:B)
Bramblestar took a deep breath after everything was over. His lungs were beginning to ache from all the speaking he had done. Maybe he had overworked himself. His body was still recovering after all. Maybe he should have split the ceremonies in half and done them on different nights... but all the elation present on his Clanmates faces was enough to convince the tom otherwise. He had done the right thing in doing them all at once. The Clan's needs should always go before his own.
The dark brown tabby descended the rock a bit more gracefully than he had after giving the last ceremonies. Instead of going straight to his den, he drifted through the crowd of cats, searching for a specific one. Having found her, he padded over and said in what sounded like a genuine purr, "Congratulations, Ashstep. Whenever you are ready, please come see me in my den. I would like to talk to you about the duties of your new position." With that, Bramblestar dipped his head and made his way back into his den beneath the Skystone, sitting tucked away in the shadows. (Frost, the rest of this should probably happen in a separate thread, but her receiving and reacting to the announcement can be done here. I'm eager to see how these two work together and finally be able to RP with you!)
