  • [fancypost bgcolor=; borderwidth=0px; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 11pt;]OOC | I'm in the middle of working on the new guide. It's 1:50 in the morning here. That being said, any aid you guys can give me in increasing activity here would be greatly appreciated! Whilst we no longer have to reach the monthly quota, I'm still really worried about how much activity has dropped recently. I'm, once again, sorry for my inactivity. It's something I'll be trying to work on, though I do have a few things that I need to prioritise unfortunately.


    Sorry that the last meeting wasn't finished, but I feel as though it is much more important to make sure that this one is on time. I'm going to go back to making sure that these are done in one go, to avoid issues like this forming again.


    IC | HawkClan was going downhill, fast. Perhaps this was at the fault of the vulture herself, or perhaps this was down to the members occupying this group. Whatever it was, they'd have to solve the issue. Egretstar had managed to dig them out of low activity once in the past, so hopefully experience would aid her this time around. Still, the situation had a sour taste to it. ShadowClan had stopped for the time being, so why weren't things improving?


    "HawkClan!"


    Voice holding a gruff tone, the vulture would call her clan. A single working ocular narrowed as she stared down at the area where NPCs would begin to gather. Wondering how she'd managed to get to the point where she was leading strangers. Questioning the point in continuing, though she knew quitting wasn't a good option in the slightest. No, she had to build HawkClan up again or watch it go up in smoke. For this, the woman envied those that had left. Not being forced to stay within a sinking ship, with the freedom to go wherever their hearts desired.


    "Quickstart and Quantum are demoted. Neither of you picked up the activity." Both were long lasting members of the community. It didn't seem right to be demoting either party. Still, Quickstart had to be leading by example. Something he hadn't been doing for a while now. At least both had been given ample opportunity to increase their activity before their demotions. Who did that leave? Herself, Blackjack, Travelpassion and Splitsecond. Not the largest group, unfortunately. Still, there was potential. That was, if activity could improve.


    "I'm makin' a boot camp." It sounded much more likely for an anti-clan to do, but something needed to be done. "Everyone has to go, but there'll be stuff put in place for different age groups. Training in healing and fightin', along with some other lessons an' whatever." Hopefully, someone would be willing to help Egretstar with this. After all, the vulture was far from an expert when it came to healing. This boot camp would likely have links to the competition, but right now the vulture's thoughts didn't stray to that of the competition being held.


    "I'm goin' to recap our foreign affairs because there have been changes to it all." This was something the woman didn't sound particularly enthusiastic over, though truth be told Egretstar hadn't shown any particular enthusiasm throughout the course of the meeting. This, however, was a particularly frustrating topic. "The Blackheart Rogues are on a trial period. There have been a large amount of issues with them, which I'm not dealing with. We will treat them as allies, but if anymore issues strike up I'm dropping them to neutrals." Did that seem fair? This question should have probably been something she was more concerned over, but it wasn't. Instead, Malakai was the main focus of her thoughts. Someone she didn't want to deal with anymore, though it didn't seem as though she had a choice for the time being. "Our allies are RadicalClan, BlizzardClan, RiverClan, SkyClan and ThunderClan. Enemies are ShadowClan, ScarClan, ColouredClan and the Exiles." Whilst she still hadn't sorted everything out, it seemed as though this list was close to the final line up.


    Staring at the group below her, the vulture would finish talking. Preparing herself for the reaction she could receive, though the meeting had hardly been interesting. It seemed as though the only thing particularly different was the boot camp.

  • [fancypost borderwidth=0px; width:500px;][justify][size=9pt]Oh... that was too bad. He liked Quickfire quite a lot, and it was sad to see the male being demoted, but... if he hadn't picked up activity then it was his own downfall.


    "Maybe we can do a member exchange with some of our allies. We can tell them that we're in desperate need of activity, and maybe we can repay them each by allowing them to... I don't know. Do somethin', at least," Blackjack said as he sat down. It was sad how much HawkClan's activity had gone down.

    "Noted, and I like Blackjack's idea." Trav said, large canine head tilted. "We can also throw a firework show or something small for s* and giggles."

    ( "speech" ) ( thoughts ) ( roleplay )


    Splitsecond trotted up quickly, doing her best to appear as if she was completely on track, like she had been here the entire time. She sent her mental condolences to Quickfire and Quantum, who had seen like nice people the few times she had seen them. But Egretstar had definitely made the right choice; they weren't around often enough to help run the clan.


    Boot camp. Sounded like something she could be good at directing; the tabby had always been instantly at ease with both giving directions and taking them from a higher-up. It would definitely be good for her; she was skilled in neither area that the camp would be teaching. Time to really pitch in, eh?


    The clan names that the apothecary trainee was barraged with were slightly underwhelming. Were there really that few groups? No, there had to be more. It was strange to think that they weren't the only clan here besides RadicalClan, what with them all being so spread out like they wanted nothing to do with each other. But maybe it was for the best; each group could go about daily business without much drama from other clans. They all kept to themselves for the most part.


    "If you need help directing the boot camp, I am ready and willing," Splitsecond spoke up, not wanting to keep this to herself. "Would you like us to send out gifts to any of our allied clans to acknowledge their standing with us? Maybe an event or two?" If you left alliances to crumble, they would soon be standing alone against whatever came at them. But that sort of thing happened over time, not in the space of a simple week.

    Boot camps weren't really my thing, but maybe I'd still attend. The demotions hit me hard. Quantum and Quickfire were the best!! But Egretstar was right...


    I looked at my paws until I heard Blackjack's suggestion. A member exchange! "Oooh, that sounds like fun!" I exclaimed.

Embarrassed, the canine sat in the back of the group and listened to what was left of the meeting.




    She turned her head, hearing Blackjack's idea. "That sounds really cool!" she barked cheerfully. Kakima loved seeing other Clans which, besides other reasons, was why she was a member of three different Clans.

  • OOC | Sorry for the long wait again! I've been trying to work on my muse for Egretstar for a while now, so hopefully I'll get to a point where I can pick up on everything again. I'm going to start picking up on things that might need doing, though hopefully at one point I'll be able to get quite a few of them out of the way at once.


    Also, a warning that I now have a job! I won't be around too much on the weekend for this reason, as the induction will take up most of the day on both occasions. I might update you guys on when I'm not going to be around, but it hopefully won't get in the way of too much. I'll also try and schedule weekly meetings for one of my days off :^)


    IC | Several suggestions would reach the vulture, causing her to pause for a moment. Taking in what each of her members was saying along with attempting to recollect her thoughts. Understanding that now, a lot of the clan's high positions were absent. Leaving her a slight mess that would have to be sorted out as soon as it could be. After all, this high position system was in place for a reason. Without it, the clan would be left in turmoil. Still, the clan still contained it's main assets. A leader, along with someone occupying the medical ranks. Though, Splitsecond hadn't been able to gain too much training before those expected to train her had became absent. Perhaps it was something that would change in the near future, but for now, it was still an issue.


    "Splitsecond, I'm going to give you the option of either stepping up as the clan's deputy or the clan's Apothecary. If you choose to become an Apothecary, I want you ta go to an ally for more trainin'. I can help you organise somewhere."


    Either option would likely be helpful for the clan in it's current position. Splitsecond was particularly helpful, so she seemed like a good option as the clan's deputy. HawkClan also required an Apothecary, though. If Splitsecond was to step up as deputy, she'd still likely end up training whoever would next step into the rank. This would likely also have to involve another group, considering Splitsecond's lack of time within the field. In the best case scenario, Splitsecond would have a grasp on basic herbal knowledge.


    Moving on to what had been brought up by those around her, the vulture would do her best to focus on singular comments. Hoping that, eventually, everything mentioned would link together. Creating a plan of sorts. "We could try a member exchange, but I don't want ta loose too many members. It'd be counter productive. I might see if RadicalClan would be up for one, though." Not only would this be a good excuse to try and improve relations between themselves and their neighbors, but it would also be a good excuse to send Splitsecond somewhere to further her education.


    "Can ya sort out the herb trainin' sessions?"


    Facing Splitsecond, the woman would offer her a slight nod. "Gifts should've been taken care of fer everyone, but events would be good."

They all knew each other, and even if Splitsecond herself wasn't one that usually familiarized herself with the social manners of others, she knew how important it was to have that sort of communication in a clan. It helped unite them, give people a reason to stay and build a life here.


    Noticing that the avian was beginning to speak again, Splitsecond raised her head once again to set her eyes upon the leader. Her gaze was hooded, but steady. Her eyes widened ever so slightly in the face of her imminent promotion. Full apothecary was definitely something the clan needed, but the rank alone would not give her the knowledge she needed to serve her clan. She hadn't been successful so far, why would it change now? Perhaps she should have made more of an effort to reach out to the medical ranks of HawkClan's allies.


    To be honest, though... she hadn't really connected to the rank of apothecary trainee. Sure, she had been willing and ready to learn, but she knew people more suited to the job that could likely do better. If she was really wanting to do what was best for both her and the clan, she would choose deputy. And so, logically, this was to be her choice. "I'd like to step up as deputy, if it's not too much trouble," she replied after a moment, her tone revealing the slight uncertainty she felt within. "I could still fill in as temporary medic, though. Find a medic of an allied clan willing to train whoever ends up as apothecary trainee, if you like."


    All in all, though, she had a job to do. This new rank would bring responsibility, but nothing she couldn't handle. And to imagine that only a month ago she had been a foreigner to the clan. That seemed long ago, now.[/fancypost]

    jungle trailed over, eyes wide and ears perked as always. a boot camp? the wolf reminded herself that battle practice wasn't meant to be actually violent. she couldn't go getting herself too riled up. there was always herb training; she knew her fair share, having spent her life treating her own wounds, but it didn't sound as fun.
    ideas bounced about and the females head jerked to follow each voice, grinning. stuff. fun stuff. but nothing particularly pertaining to her. so, the female stayed quiet, though attentive.

    Travel couldn't resist a large grin at the announcement of Splits' promotion. "Congrats, Splitsecond." The shepherd barked towards her.
    It was silly, sure, but she had joined somewhat close to when he did. She was someone that he thought they have an unspoken bond. He had always consider her someone that climbed the ranks beside him... However he supposed he was wrong. She wasn't a partner... She was better then that.
    She deserved the responsibility. He fully believed that she would rule well someday.
    He couldn't think of anyone better for the job.

She hadn't been in HawkClan very long, even when she first joined, but from the way everyone showed her such great respect, Kakima was sure she deserved it.
    "Congratulations! I'm sure you'll do great!" she yipped excitedly.
