So wipe that smile off your face, Before it gets too late.
There's only so much time. For you to make up your mind
Word Count :: 000 The contest is over - thank you for participating, everyone! Loners and members of other packs are no longer allowed within CdA's borders without explicit permission from a ranked pack member; trespassing laws have returned to normal. This is a read-only thread, and it is assuming that everyone, or almost everyone, in the pack has attended; non-members are allowed to have overheard this as well. Backdated to the 16th of March!

About a month had passed since she had last made the announcement of loners and outsiders being allowed within the pack, and she was glad to say that it had been a success. Keeping a keen eye on almost every outsider that had entered, her and her Protettores and packmates had successfully kept the pack safe from harm - other than an accidentally killed rabbit, a conflict which was resolved quickly and without trouble, nothing bad had happened during the duration of the open-borders period within her pack. She found it a success, a great one - formerly sluggish, her pack now thrived, flourishing with trade, conversations, friendships, knowledge.

She stood in the center of Thornbury - the beautiful and lively hub that was the central station of her pack. She howled, loud and clear, calling all her packmates to her as she had not too long ago; she loved the relationships and experiences her packmates had known, but it was time to act as a pack again. It was time to close their borders, and hopefully those who had come would return again in search for more trades and perhaps alliances.

"D'Artisans!" she called as the last of the members trickled into the clearing that she stood in. "It has been one month since our borders were opened, and an eventful month it has been - but it is time to be a pack again, to draw close what we are; family." She paused for a moment, and then continued. "We are not a neutral territory, and so the borders are once again closed - all who are outsiders should return home by the end of the day. It was an honor having them, and now it is time for us once again," she said, half to her packmates, half to any outsiders who were listening. "After today, all who trespass upon our lands without membership or permission," she said, aiming to speak to her packmates now, "Are to be chased out - those who wish to seek us out after today, please wait by the borders and call, for now trespassing laws are in effect again. Thank you all, and good day!" she finished, exclaiming.
