[/html]Claudius knew that he was new to the leadership role (the real one, not only temporary), so he hadn’t realized the gravity of their situation. It wasn’t until his friend Luna pointed out to him that the Agriculture tier was empty and that their fields had gone unsowed. Although Claudius had lived in the tribe his entire life, they had never planted huge fields of crops—not like the Great Tribe. He had always assumed that they planted their three sisters, and only those three, because they were so few in number. But it turned out that Dawali had forgotten about two important rank tiers when he assumed the post. The Agricultural and Teaching rank tiers had never existed, so it wasn’t until recently that the tribe could have even considered planting the crops. And so, Luna had pointed out that they didn’t need anyone in the ranks to plant the crops: amongst the tribesmembers, they had the know-how to do it themselves if they all worked together.

So, Claudius and Ulilohi had agreed that they should work together as a tribe to plant their crops. They were late in doing so, but they hoped that it might encourage the continuation of the tradition.

Ulilohi and Claudius stood together outside of the Town Hall to announce their project. Luna was only steps away since they had consulted her and asked her to be present and lead the project. It was her idea, after all, and it would only feel right asking her to spearhead the initiative.

Claudius sent out the call summoning the members to the Great Hall, asking them to come together to better the tribe.

Once they had arrived, he began to speak: “Guh-guh-gree-eetings, Aniwa-a-ayans,” he began nervously. “We-e-e ha-ave… news… for you… Lu-una has… sugges-t-e-e-ed… we… so-o-ow and pla-a-ant seeds… to celebra-a-ate… our ne-ew… Agricultural-i-i-st… rank… b-u-u-ut since… we have no… Agriculturalists… we nee-eed your… help. We nee-ee-eed… food… for our animals… whose… ranked have swelled…” He paused, taking a deep breath, and then continued: “W-e-e-e will… work together… with any-y-y-one… who wishes to… volunteer… and be-e-e-etter… this… tribe. W-e-e-e… must… tuh-till… and puh-puh-plou-ough… the fields… gather… our… seeds, and then… plant them… and… we nee-eed… your help… suh-so, anyone… willing… wuh-we… must work together… to comple-e-e-ete… this project.” Claudius grinned and then looked out at those who gathered, anxiety clawing at his heart. He just hoped the members liked their plan. [html]
