    It was morning time and she was waking up with a cough. The female knew it was no big illness right away but she read her calendar and swore aloud in her scratchy voice because today.. of course, was meeting day. The three legged tabby hauled her furry rump out of bed and hobbled towards the staircase top. She decided to do it now, a little earlier then normal but that never hurt anyone when she'd done it before. Maybe they'd appreciate the early wake up call? Ah who was she kidding. "HAWKFAM! MEETING TIME!" Littlestar called before pushing her paw into her scarred muzzle and biting back a cough. Slowly and steadily did a group of Hawkclanners gather beneath the staircase, looking up at her with tired eyes. She rolled through her mental list and sighed softly. Activity, as always, was the first one to go. "The pacing of this week for our activity has been pretty okay, we definitely made it past a page or so. We're keeping up this pace which is really good. And here's your daily reminder to stay inclusive and love all them newbies, alright?" She got a few nods here and there and whilst it wasn't a passionate pumping of paws and several 'yes' it was as good as it got for this group of tired creatures. "Events! Who doesn't love 'em? The first and most important is the hawk ceremony. It's mandatory for all hawkclanners to go to so I expect to see you all there unless you're rotting six feet under the ground. This isn't a boring reading. We're getting hawks for pets, for gods fucking sake. So head along. Another event is the Knights of Eden human au masquerade ball right here. Exciting shit now let's move on. I believe that's all for events this week. Cool beans." She let a silence take place momentarily as she stifled through her list, nodding as she recalled what it was. Joiners. Alright.


    "Joiners this week! Connor was our first. He was.. quite injured when he first arrived but it's safe to say he's healing up nicely. Some good news, Rinto came back from the dead and returned to Hawkclan. I want you all to welcome him back with open arms, give him chocolate and do nice shit. Losteyes is the third joiner, a rad-as kind of guy who knew he wanted to join the moment he turned up. Say hi to him. Vahriinlok was our fourth a joiner, a big ol' gruff dude who came from Shadowclan or something. He's here now though so be nice. Edai is the fifth, they're a truly cool looking creature. A robot or something, I don't even know man. Say hi to them. Hoodiepaw is the next joiner, a sassy teen that wears this cool looking hoodie. Name makes sense once ya see her. April is the next joiner after Hoodiepaw and she's another smart mouthed girl that will probably roll her eyes when she hears this. If she hears this. Say hi to her, she's actually pretty cool. We've also got another returner, Cassiopeia. She's a stunning girl and I recommend you become her best friend because she's pretty cool. Another person that may or may not be an official member of Hawkclan is Vader.. this guy that came to our border injured once more. Say hi to him." That's a fucking lot of joiners, holy shit. She inhaled sharply and took a while regaining her breath, giving out a cough. That was good though it meant she was close to finishing this damn meeting. "Obscuro has departed temporarily from Hawkclan on some business. She didn't specify what it was but said she would be back." Littlestar informed them, her ears twitching before she moved onto rank promotions, demotions, warnings and shoutouts.


    "Warnings and demotions. No warnings but Seth and Wintermoss are demoted. Shoutouts go to Vani, Lessa, Poe, Ben and Luca. Promotions.. I don't have any this week. Consider your shoutout a stepping stone to a promotion in the near future. And that's all. Although I'd like to give a special shoutout to Vanillabean. You are really, really helping me out with this clan thing and I'm super glad I made the choice to give you the Sentinel rank. Because of this... I'd love to gift you this dagger-" Back when Mercy had been active and helping out around the clan, she'd also gifted a dagger to the former Warcheif and it had been well received. This dagger, however, was very different to Mercy's one. This one was pitch black, even the blade. The hilt was very comfortable to grip in both mouth and paw and the blade was sharp enough to cut well through a piece of prey (bone and all) without struggling. It wasn't too big, perfect size for the canine. "- and say thank you." She finished off, attempting to gently pass the blade to the Sentinel before she turned back to the crowd and gave a nod. "That's all for this week. One last quick notice; can all ambassadors visit their clans this week with a gift basket? Thank you. Add a hawk feather to the gift basket as well."


    "Meeting dismissed, my men."

    A meeting? They had meetings? That sounded boring. Plus, she had been trying to sleep, and definitely didn't appreciate the obnoxious call of Littlestar. Still, it sounded important, like something she could get in trouble for not attending, so she rolled to her paws, eyes half-lidded and a scowl on her features. The slightly undersized feline approached silently, halting at the edge of the group of gathered Hawkclanners. She didn't want to sit and listen to useless information, but maybe some of this would actually be something worthwhile. With a long sigh, she focused on Littlestar, preparing for a long, boring string of words.


    Inclusiveness. Okay. No. She didn't care enough to worry about other people and their problems and emotions. She didn't have to love anyone she didn't want to. "Events! Who doesn't love 'em?" They had events, too? Well, if they had anything to do with other people, she was the one person who didn't love them. Then, the young leader began welcoming joiners to the clan, and April blanked. This was more boring than she could have imagined. However, mention of her name caused her gaze to snap back onto Littlestar. Why was she being mentioned? She didn't want to talk to these people. And, just as predicted, the dark female rolled her eyes, tail giving a small flick of impatience. Why was she talking about all the joiners? That was unnecessary.


    Then Littlestar brought up some other things - promotions, demotions, warnings, and shoutouts. She had a fairly good grasp on what these were about; when she first joined, that Vanillabean girl had introduced herself as "Sentinel", so she supposed they had ranks here. She didn't see why everyone couldn't just live among each other without sorting themselves into a pointless hierarchy, but whatever. It didn't concern her. Soon enough, Littlestar dismissed them with the words, "Meeting dismissed, my men." The whole thing seemed pointless to April, but she offered a very small nod of her head before heading off.

    Cas didn't want to join the meeting. She didn't want to learn about the ranks, after figuring out that her mother was no longer among her. She sat by herself, not even Aquila nearby to keep her company. She listened, though, her short rounded ears flicking around and a nod given to each new piece of information. At the joiners portion, the young girl winced. Did Littlestar actually tell others that she was... stunning? She'd probably be frustrated if anyone else gave her that compliment. Though, she would probably be angry if anyone did try to be her friend.


    Anyhow, she continued to listen, flinching when Littlestar offered her new sentinel a dagger. It was a need to replace Mercy, but it seemed more so that others wanted to forget her. She shook her head and muttered a quiet, "Noted."

    As soon as Vani had heard the call for a meeting to start, the female would trot over towards the camp, sitting up towards the front of the group, where she could still see and hear Littlestar, but slightly off to the side so that others could see around her - the issue of her tallness had often been mentioned to her in passing by NPC's, saying she was too tall. It was something that she couldn't help, however, so she tried to embrace it. Listening to the words that the female before her spoke, Vani would nod her head in silent acknowledgement to the ceremony and events, tail wagging slightly behind her as all of the joiners were mentioned - she had met most of them already, and there were so many this week.


    Then came the demotions, and she would look around for a moment, seeing if those demoted had been around in the meeting at all, though it seemed as though neither of them were around, at least for the time being. Both members had shown promise when they had been promoted, though now they were nowhere to be found, and that concerned Vani. Had they simply gone innactive, or did she miss something to where they were? She would have to figure that out later, as for now her attention was caught once more, her name being mentioned not only in a shout out, but a special one as well - something she hadn't expected.


    As Lit spoke, she could feel her ears getting warm, and then she was offered the blade. It was something that the sentinel had never thought she would own - she didn't fight often - and she hadn't known that it was something that had been given out to Mercy as well. The canine looked over the thing, taking it carefully from her leader before dipping her head slightly. "Thank you, Littlestar." She would speak, unsure as to what else to say at the moment, she was so awestruck.

    Rinto was still kind of avoiding everyone, and so when Lit called the meeting he hesitated to go. He didn't want anyone to see him. However, he might hear important news, so he slipped out of the medic den to go listen in, a bit of a ways away so he didn't accidentally meet someone's eye level.


    So he was considered a joiner, huh? He was glad she left out the reason he... left in the first place. The newcomers didn't have to know. He listened to promotions; he actually... didn't know most of those people. He saw Lit give Vani the blade, and would be happy; except for him, everything was numb, so it just made him feel a tiny bit better.

    WE'RE ALL MADE OF STARS — Poe — HawkClan — He/him

    Poe sat near the center of the gathered group of HawkClanners, brown eyes watching Littlestar closely. A lot of joiners this week, awesome! And the events sounded really fun. The canine smiled as she offered him a shoutout, and couldn't help but give a small cheer for Vanillabean as she received her special mention. Good for her! The meeting was a short one, but it had a lot of information. Now it was time to get back to it.

    Lando really, really tried to keep up with it. He just wasn't used to this kind of thing. After he heard the name Vader, he kind of zoned out anyway. Jeez, he had hoped when he saw the cyborg it had been some nightmare, but nope he was actually there. He blinked suddenly as the meeting wrapped up and nodded slightly, at least giving the illusion he'd been listening.
