YOU AIN'T AFRAID TO POP PILLS — MEETING

Stifling a yawn, the lovely young female padded over to join the others at the meeting. It was a long night, proceeded by several other long nights, of working in the medic den. There was no real reason for Imperia to spend so much time in there, but she struggled to fall asleep in the first place. Nightmares tormented her in the sleeping hours, so she decided to do something productive if she was not going to sleep anyways. Imperia wove her way carefully through the crowd, akin to a zombie with her dead-eye stare, until she spotted Groteske up ahead. "Ezekiel!" she called out cheerfully, trotting over to join her friend with a warm smile. She might have joined Jerseyboy, but her feelings were still hurt from when he had yelled at her.

Meetings weren't really Divinity's thing. Well, technically, she'd never been to a meeting before. Maybe she'd have some sort of better understanding of how the clan worked if she actually went to one. Well, today was the day that she actually decided to show up to something important. The snow leopard sat wherever she could find an open space, listening to whatever other announcements may come.

Fuck punctuality. He was tired and hurt. The jet colored beast slowly limped to the scene, lifting his head slightly as he looked over those present. His eye spotted Mie immediately and the boy went over to his twin, sitting down on his haunches next to the kitsune before leaning his heavy head against his brother's shoulder. There was a small grunt before he offered, "Who do you think this time?" Might as well get back to their games, no?

Wildyonder wasn't a fan of fireworks, for fairly obvious reasons. As much as he loved socializing, he'd have to pass up this particular event. Loud noises made it hard to hold conversations, and it wasn't like he could enjoy the views all that much. Besides, he had other things to do here. Lurk around the medicine den in the hopes that Asterin was going to be alright, for instance. That was, admittedly, how he'd spent a large chunk of his time recently. But as he heard to familiar voice of Sweetophelia announcing the meeting, he'd trotted over to listen in. He did hate to be out of the loop, after all, and staying updated on meetings was the best security against that.

And there Aleksei was. Allowing his brother's heavy head to rest against him, the kitsune would offer a slight shrug as he turned his attention to the crowd of gathered beasts. "Well, for starters, definitely not your ass," the apprentice noted jokingly. He wasn't really in the mood to play the old game of theirs but he might as well humor his twin, "London probs." Though he didn't know her well at all, he could tell she was a hardworking kid.

"Unless I fucking kill one of the deputies," he commented with a small scoff of amusement. Preferably Witchpaw. Fadingmoon was alright. He rubbed his lower jaw against his brother's back; the movement was relaxing and soothing in a manner and he made a low rumbling hum from his chest, pleased for the moment. Aleksei tilted his head as London's name was mentioned. "Ska'arq. Maybe."

It has been awhile since Alastor had actually decided to attend one of Sweetophelia's meetings. The last meeting he showed up to must have been weeks ago. He still managed to be caught up on whatever he missed in previous meetings, news spread like wild fire here. He would hear about the announcements shortly after the meeting was finished, like who was promoted, what events allies are hosting, etc. But Alastor decided he would attend today's meeting. He happened to be padding into the camp, his ears pricking up at Sweetophelia's call. With a swish of his tail, the black panther would make his way over, stting at the edge of the crowd, keeping his eyes open for Lottie.

Witchpaw gasped and happily bounded over to his father. "Dad, you're a paladin trainee now!" Witchpaw said, affectionately nuzzling his dad. "You're one of us now!" He was so glad his father was now a semi-HP; he saw the hard work his father put in and cared so much about him.

Ska'arq seemed to perk up as his friend came over to join him, touching his shoulder with the tip of his wings before fixing his stare back on Sweetophelia. He could have sworn he heard his name, and his head turned, curiously trying to seek out the source. It was then the leader continued the announcements, and she received his undivided attention until she finished. He grinned at Pad. "Wow- congrats!" Not being promoted never particularly bummed him. Although becoming a Trainee had quite surprised him, it was never his goal to climb the ranks. Heck, could he even handle the responsibility? He couldn't quite understand how the other HPs managed to do it so well.

ATTACK IN BOLD #6e65b5 - TAGS - EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD

There were lots of promotions, shoutouts, and demotions (the Yuki-Onna one threw him off a little). Hell, he got a shoutout and a ranger title. That was cool, he supposed. As for London, he thought that she had truly deserved it. She was just like Jacob, and now they could work together. Perfect. "Alla salute." Jerseyboy said the Italian version of "cheers".

Died alone singing a poor man's song
Harry was aware that Jules was putting much effort into his work as of late, it was evident, so hearing that this work payed off into a promotion the stallion sent a smile towards his partner and walked over towards his side, nudging the man gebtkt before speaking his way.

"You're catchin' up t'me." He'd say rather teasingly with a soft chuckle that left a rattle in his chest

Alexus smiled softly at the mention of Mira, Illya and Divinity. They all seemed promising, and she though the shoutouts were well deserved. As Julian was promoted, Alexus nodded. He was a great choice for the paladin trainee role, as he was friendly and welcoming and would be a great guy to welcome newer members and make sure they felt at home. Next, her own name was in the mix, and the canine's smile spread a bit wider. In her opinion, a shoutout was just as good as a promotion. As she was additionally given a title, Alexus wagged her tail excitably. She fought to remain quiet until the end of the announcements, feeling like she would burst. However, she was glad she waited, because London was definitely going to be a good paladin. "Thank you so much! And congrats, everyone!"

London focused on Sweets as she started announcing demotions and warnings first, nodding her head slightly. She hadn't seen Wi around at all recently, and Lumina maybe just a few times, so It all sounded fair. Then again London didn't really understand much of what one had to do to keep their position anyway, she just agreed with Sweet because she saw no reason not to. At the first few shoutouts and promotion she would smile, happy to hear those familiar names. She wasn't particularly close to any of them, but she was happy for them. Then came a few more shoutouts and some titles, all of which the child agreed were definitely well deserved. She'd thought that would have been all, but there was one final announcement it seemed. London was confused as she heard her name, she hadn't done anything extraordinary so she didn't know what Sweets was going to say about her, but at the promotion the child would brighten, her smile basically stretching from ear to ear. She was a paladin now! The alvino's gaze traveled through the crowd, looking around for a certain someone, but it seemed he wasn't here, or at least not in her field of view. Oh well, she could tell Jacob another time. "Congratulations everyone, and thank you Sweet!" she would say happily, her British accent lacing over her words a little thicker than usual.

Here he was, at the meeting, sitting at attention, well that was the thing which he did pretty well... after all, he'd been a soldier before. He wasn't surprised by the announcements, and promotions as well, though he had to admit he didn't quite realize that his name had been called in regards to the Paladin Trainee position. It meant that he was going to become a semi-high position, though he wasn't sure what the entailed. Both his children held higher positions than him, so did his boyfriend, though that did not matter all that much to the canine. He was curious to know why he'd been chosen, though he supposed it would be rude to look a gift horse in the mouth. "Thank you ma'm, and congratulations to all y'all who was mentioned." The dog drawled.

Ah, another shoutout? That was nice, considering he had been somewhat inactive this week. He had tried his best to be there, but he was pretty busy most of the time. Nodding to JW, he mumbled a quick "Congratulations."
