Lately, he had been using Demios, perhaps a little more often than he would have hoped, all due to having had her spirits riled-up by the peculiar appearance of a seething Ichigo. Though, he'd shove the thoughts to the back of his mind, for the time-being. After all, he had a clan to address, and a meeting to elaborate on. Thus, he'd draw to a halt in the center of camp, parting his jaws and allowing dialogue to skim his lips. "Colouredclan, gather for a meeting!"
Alright, first came demotions. "Benvolio has resigned, Eph is demoted to Member, Mudkit is demoted to Bodyguard, and Curt is demoted to Blackblood." There were quite a few, though he figured that all were fairly justified, unfortunately. Ben had resigned on his own terms, which was perfectly understandable. Nighttales hadn't seen much of Eph as of late, though. Whereas Mudkit had been depending on an inactivity notice for a while.. and whilst Night understood the difficulty of the predicament, he had said last week, that their note would last for one week longer at best.. Though, were they to eventually return, he was sure that they would find no trouble in reclaiming their rank. As for Curt, Curt had been by his side for quite some time, and the work she happened to always do in the background had helped him out for an ample duration of his leadership, but.. he supposed that he could no longer dismiss her lack of activity - though, were she to show up more frequently once again, at some point, then she would certainly be welcomed back into her previous rank.
Moving aside, and onto promotions, Nighttales had quite a few more planned out as of this week. "Soap, Twistedkit, and Eclipsecub, you're promoted to Warders." Some were newer than others, and some had been settled for a while, but had shown themselves more frequently over the previous week or so. Either way, each displayed a prominent element of potential, to the extent where he wished to promote them to such stepping-stone ranks. Papika is promoted to Bodyguard, alongside Damiano for his work on one of our upcoming events which I'll elaborate on later." Both were around frequently, putting a large amount of effort into the posts in which they happened to make, alongside Damiano contributing substantially with his ideas, whether they were approved of, or - as with Damiano-day - dismissed. Of course, Night wouldn't forget their endeavors to call him out as a fraud, but, he supposed that there was no real fault in such an action. If he was committed to something rather troublesome, and he failed in keeping such a secret, then he would be the one at fault: not the whistleblower.
"And finally, Vol is promoted to Captain." He happened to trust his comrade a lot, and Vol was probably one of those whom he happened to have trusted the most, in the entirety of his lifetime - perhaps, that wasn't long in comparison to some, so he'd have therefore thrown in his previous life too, to raise the stakes a little. Therefore, it wasn't difficult or troubling for Nighttales to make such a hefty decision. "Alongside that, Frightfur has wished to return to his former duties, and therefore will be returned to his rank of Captain." Night happened to support the other serval's decisions, after all - and, at least the other had attempted, for a few weeks, to act as a supporting medic role, and had worked to stabilise the field currently. "In light of such, Pixel is promoted to Doctor." The serval would add, recalling his promise to keep her in regards as a candidate for the position - thus, he had kept that in mind, upon making this decision.
"Oh, Hatari, you have a shoutout. You had quite the significant burst of activity today, which I certainly appreciate. Therefore, if you show your face frequently throughout the following week, you'll find yourself with a promotion in no time at all." Of course, he hadn't forgotten of the canine whom had displayed quite the significant appearance as of late, though seeing as they hadn't been around often throughout the week prior, he'd have to abstain from promoting them until they happened to display a stability, to couple their bursts of appearances.
Alright, moving on from that was the decision that he had eventually contemplated and entertained the idea of, which seemed somewhat approved by the rest of the clan thus-far. "I originally clipped the ranks as we didn't always have as many members in the clan as we do now, however, with the member-base we have currently, I'll be bringing back the Lieutenant Commander rank, which will act as a vice-leader rank sitting above the rank as Captain. Thus, I will be promoting individuals to that rank next week." Therefore, he'd let his current Captains know that there was a further rank for them to succeed to, and that once they were to move up, more could move up to Captain, and therefore spacing out the overflow of rankings in which they currently sustained.
Also, he'd have to discuss recent allegiance shifts. "Anatolios is now an ally. They have agreed to lend us war support. Seeing as they have an abundance of farmland, we can use their land as our own to store reserves in the event of an enemy attempting to steal of destroy our resources. They will actively protect our land in the meanwhile, also." Therefore, they wouldn't be losing anything by such a deal, and were the Anatolios to make an enemy out of them, then they'd merely steal their reserves back by any means possible. Simple, and easy. "Also, following the corpse found by the border, and following Ichigo's little visitation, Hawkclan is now an enemy." He would've thought better of their neutral, but yet again, they were an exceedingly righteous, and hypocritical proclan.
Finally, he'd address something that was perhaps a little more uplifting: the event Damiano had planned. "Damiano has pulled together a play, which will take place in January, called the Chosen One. There are still a few roles free, and therefore, make sure to sign-up if you're interested in participating." Nighttales would add, a blithe grin traversing his maw in the meanwhile.
"Alright, that's all for this week: dismissed." Nighttales would conclude, with a brief nod.
