as they try to change their worlds

Pack meeting, playing as if everyone is already here. I want to keep this as quick and as short as possible. Backdated to August 12th.

It had been two days since he had asked Strelein to step up into the role of Dauphin that had been left empty by Ruri such a long time ago. Up until now, Vigilante had felt comfortable leading the pack on his own. Recent events, however, had left him tired and worn and he had come to realize that it was not something he could do alone anymore. Now that a few days had passed, he called for the pack to come together outside the hotel.

The dog King surveyed the faces that had come to the meeting he called this morning. "A lot has happened lately. A small dog joined us a few months back. He has been banished from the pack for forcing himself on a member of the neighboring tribe. If you see Mysterious Brute, remove him forcibly from the pack lands or call for someone else to do it," he informed them. He felt the details were important here, as the dog was still alive. "And Keese is dead." The details were not necessary here, for Anann's sake, and perhaps his own.

"On a higher note, Strelein has stepped up as Dauphin. Our ranks will also be changing some. We will now run on a two-tier system: The courtier ranks and the knight ranks, the cavalry tier. Each tier will have co-ranks that only members of that tier can earn. You will be able to switch tiers if you wish. We hope that this will bring a unique order to the kingdom."

Kable is going to ask a question in a very childlike manner, also he's in lupus form

Kable stood wide eyed at the King before him. He only really understood that this Brute guy had been forced from the pack, nothing else made sense to him. The terms in while the Cours King used only further confused his childish mind. Though he did understand that this Keese kid was dead, though for what for the King hadn't mentioned. Probably something really, really bad. In his mind however, doing something really bad consister of breaking things and hiding things, on purpose.

The second part he didn't really understand either. Strelein had been promoted, that he understood. After all the courts was his birthplace and he knew what to refer to his elders as. But it seemed the ranks he knew were changing, with an open mouth and wide eyes he listened on terrifyed at the idea of anything changing too much. As he though for a second, his paw shot up. He was slightly unblanced by this and when he had righted himself, he spoke, 'Which one is the Lautari co-rank for?' It was a basic way of putting it, but what he meant was 'Which tier does the Lautari co-rank corrospond with?' To him it sounded the same really.

The speckled half-wolf lay on her stomach near the front of the gathering, to allow others to see over easily if they arrived after she. At the mention of Brute, she felt her skin prickle, remembering the little terrier in his dishevelled hovel. She should have known, something had felt wrong about him. The next piece of news, she felt, should have been even more disturbing; but she had no idea who Keese was or what had happened, and before she had digested the information the topic had changed to pack bureaucracy. Caspa frowned; she half wanted to ask for more details about this Keese, but she supposed if the King did not see fit to include any further information about the sad - or possibly happy, she had no idea - event, then maybe it wasn't important.

Alder gulped at the news. Disliking the idea that there was a former member banned, and yet there was still the possibility that he may be lurking in the hopes of ... revenge? Alder tried to keep those thoughts from his mind, and listened as the King spoke. Yes, he knew Keese had been killed. Blue eyes glanced over to Anann, but only for the briefest moment in the hopes of not catching her eye or drawing attention towards her. He was glad that he was dead, the fer of him had been set in the male months ago and he had been happy to set that free.

Masked eyes watched the dog-king, silent in his observation and took in the brighter news of their new second in command. He took note of his face and scent so he would remember to show the most respect that both their leaders deserved.

Pack-meeting derp <3

The gathering had been promptly called, and Noss had followed without complaint or question. A calling was a calling, nothing more, nothing less. Those gathered paid close attention to the King, and Noss did likewise as he watched the proceedings. The news of the offender was definitely new--and the word 'tribe' certainly left all question of the pack of the victim. At least he knew it wasn't his sister--she wouldn't dare keep such a thing from him...would she? He thought not--she was too honest. But it was a severe pack matter to be sure, so further understood how it was not his place to have known previously, however much it prickled that he had been left in the dark to the possibilities of his kin being injured. Of course, the opportunity to forcibly remove the offender from their lands should he come back was appealing. To the matter of Keese, he had known him only as a member of the pack and a relative of sorts to Anaan, and not much else. He had not spoken to the man or inquired about him, but the way that the King announced his death was dismissive and final; no questions, no query, no need for detail.

The grey warrior internally sighed at the fact that his lover had just elevated yet another step beyond his reach, but it was a fleeting, petty thought that subsided as he felt pride for the man. Strelein had always seemed loyal and dedicated, there was no reason he should not become one of such a status. And the ranks were changing, so soon after Noss had gotten used to them. At the very least, his preferred area of expertise was being placed in its own ranking, in a way, so he could concentrate on his skills and hopefully be of some use. Many ideas were clicking and turning in his head, but he filed them away for later as he looked to the red-headed man and smiled. It was his rough, not very gentle smile--that which looked more like a smirk than anything--but he hoped it showed that he was proud of the man and his accomplishment.

Warrior walks. "Warrior talks." Warrior thinks.

Niro Takekuro · 09-04-2011, 01:32 PM

Niro was present and watched his leader as he spoke, he looked tired, but as Niro was having a hang onver from the night before with Strel, he couldn't put much into it. He listened to the news, the only things that effected himself was Mysterious Brute whom he allowed into the pack, could he not see such wolves? He'd let a rapist into the pack he loved, what if the man went after Amaranth, Princess, Ayita, or any of the other females in the pack? He blamed himself for allowing the man to live here, and felt horrible. Niro focused on the ranks change, turned two tier, he was not entirely effected by this, he was still the majordomo, and huntsman. He knew his job. He would continue with his duties. He liked where he was and found himself standing back watching the others, many of which he had not seen before.

Yay pack stuff! Smile

Robin had not wanted to come to the meeting, she would have much rather been out adventuring, but as her father had explained, she was a member of the pack and she was now getting to an age where these things would soon be important to her, indeed how could she really become a protector of the lands like she wanted to if she did not know what was happening in them? So the little patchwork fae had followed her family dutifully to the meeting place, any doubt gone from her mind, bouncing along with excitement, knowing that what would be said would bring information that would help her be an adventurer and hero. The little female smiled at familiar faces as she came in, bouncing over to her uncle's side and sitting next to him, curling her long tail around her paws as she did so. For once she was silent and still as she listened to their King speak, her brow furrowed as he spoke of the dog that had forced himself on another, the little female did not know what this meant of course, she was young and such things had yet to taint her view of the world, but the message was clear enough, this male was a baddie and must be taken from the lands whenever anyone saw him, the little fae understood that, she made a mental note to shout for her daddy should she see any small dogs about the place. The male then spoke of Keese, the young female did not know who he was, but she understood that he was dead, she wondered why he had died, perhaps he had been sick, she looked up at her uncle for an answer and caught his eyes roving to Anann for a moment. She looked at the female and thought of her words in the stables, "he wont be hurting anyone anymore" that is what she had said when the little girl had asked who had hurt her. Is that why he had been killed, if that was the case then she was glad he was dead, she liked Miss Anann and anyone who could hurt her so badly deserved to be punished, those were the rules. Then the male spoke about the ranks changing, she nodded along although she did not really understand, the little female had yet to really try and work out where she stood in the pack, she was a pup after all, that was her role and title at the moment. She understood that her father held a high rank, but that was all. She was glad when the other asked what was to happen to the co-ranks, she herself wanted to be an archer, what would happen to that? The little fae simply sat, her tail oddly still, her eyes flicking between their leader, her uncle, Anann and her father, she would decide how she felt about things from their own reactions, they seemed to know what was going on after all.

Anann Kelevra · 09-07-2011, 03:58 PM

Anann lingered at the back of the congregation with Anatoliy at her side as they all listened to Vigilante speak. Sitting back on the haunches of her large secui frame. Her eyes did not wander the crowd of her gathered packs as they typically did at such an occasion. Instead she sat quietly, her gaze low and often staring at the ground before her. She had not known the news about Mysterious, but it came as no surprise. She had had her own encounter with the foul little terrier, but in her case he had been wise enough to back off his advances after a warning and bared fangs when his hands had threatened to linger too close for her comfort. A lesson that was obviously too soon forgotten. Then there was the announcement of Keese's death. Anann held her breath at his name, worrying about what more Vigilante might say on the matter and it was released in a quiet sigh of relief as he quickly went on to further topics. Still she felt the eyes of others on her and her head hung lower. Thick legs no longer bandaged, but the marks left behind were still visible. Naked of all fur were the ropes had rested. She paid little mind to the change in ranks, doubting her own role in the pack would be changed any by it. Although she did look up to Strelein and gave the unusual male a soft smile and nod of approval in acknowledgment to his promotion.

Princess Chance · 09-09-2011, 02:04 AM

As a woman with very little to do, going to the meeting was not something she questioned in the least. It would look terrible on her family if she did not show up, and as she was one of the higher-ranked members and her mate was the pack's Knight and a member of the council, Princess was entirely unwilling to risk her family's name and honor within the pack by not showing up. She had ushered Felicity and Linden out of the house and they had walked together to where the King had called for them all, joining the rest of their family there. Nosy as she was, the young Lady Chance quickly surveyed the faces of those there.

Very rarely did she have anything to say when a meeting was called and this time was no different. Mysterious' banishment would hardly affect her, as she rarely even went close to the borders, let alone outside of the pack's territory. She had never had the supposed pleasure of interacting with Keese, so his death did not affect her, though she was curious about the short delivery of this news. The rank altering also did not affect her much, she hoped, but she did offer Strelein a warm smile at his promotion.

Bleh I suck

Ezra had been away from his beach bungalow attending to nothing in particular. He loved exploring the pack lands when the weather was warm and had been investigating the areas far from his home for days now. Today all that had been put on halt, however, when the meeting was called. Curious, Ezra listened to his King with his full attention. Lots of intriguing news came to light that the hybrid was unaware of.

Ezra tried his best to hide his disgust on his face about the man named Mysterious Brute. There was nothing he felt obligated to say to that or to the death of Keese. While losing a pack member was a wretched thing, the way Vigilante spoke of the death it seemed like something that wasn’t meant to be asked about. Ezra, of course, had no idea of the connection Keese had to his sparring partner Anann.

Black-tipped ears perked up in curiosity when the king mentioned the new rank system. The hybrid nodded, understanding his new place in the pack. As he had a new found interest in sparring and battle, Ezra hoped the king would put him in the cavalry tier. If not, he knew it could be arranged. Vigilante was a courteous and understanding leader, which Ezra always liked. But now Strelein was a leader, too. “Congratulations,” he said simply with a nod to the new Dauphin.

Finally here! XD;

When a meeting had been called, Haven was adamant about everyone in his family attending. It was not often the King called for them, so when he did it was without a doubt that he had important news to share with them all. The only one who gave up some resistance to going was Robin, which honestly surprised the father a little. But as he explained the importance of such things to her, she relented and followed eagerly to the spot where the pack gathered.

The Seneschal stood quietly while the news of recent events was relayed to them by Vigilante. The news of the foul dog made the Aatte's brows knit together. He had known nothing of this, and honestly was a little put-off that he had not been informed before now of such things. He supposed Vigilante must have his reasons, but Haven liked to be completely informed about any matters pertaining to the security of the Court. The news of Keese came as a surprise, but a pleasant one. As many, the Knight wished to know the details of his death (for he knew better than most the character of that certain male), but as his jade eyes surveyed the King, Haven felt he knew the reason for the lack of details.

The biggest surprise of all though was the announcement of Strelein being promoted to Dauphin. Haven liked the odd tailor, but he was not one the Knight would have necessarily thought of for leadership. He would reserve his judgments until he saw the redhead in action though, and nodded at the new leader respectfully. He had no questions about the change of the rankings as he knew he stood in the same place as he always had: it was his duty to protect the pack and ensure the peace.
