It was the moment he'd been waiting for. He'd carefully watched everyone this time, taking care to consider everything he could think of. His tail slowly waved in his barely-suppressed excitement. "Okay! Final announcement! First of all, I plan on doing these meetings every two weeks instead of weekly. We're a pretty small group right now, so not much will happen in just a week! Biweekly will be fine, I think. And easier. But nevermind that."

There was a small scuff of metal on metal as he dragged the bucket a little closer. "I also want to give all of you a biiig shoutout! You're all really great, and it makes me happy that you chose to stay here with me! I hope I can get to know all of you better soon! But there are some people I'd like to give some extra attention. Vinny!" He looked over at the kangaroo, who stuck out rather awkwardly in his tall body. "You did really, really well these last two weeks! Thank you for your hard work! Keep it up!" His gaze then flickered over to Lunafreya. "And Luna! I've seen you everywhere! It's really great! Thank you so much for being there for everyone. Great job!"

And now- it was time. He stood silent for a minute, letting the small talk die down before continuing. "Bastillepaw and HD," he called out. He'd tried to put a serious tone and formality into his voice (but it still had the strained sound of excitement in it) as he addressed the two. "Bastille, you were the very first person who came to the Ascendants! It made me really, really happy to see that some people actually came. It meant more than you realized. Since then, you've been a hard worker, making sure to include everyone and help out where needed." Of course, his sarcasm was another thing altogether, but nevermind that. "And HD, you're really relaxing to everyone nearby. You've got great moves and cool ideas, and I often see you out and about participating in the community. You're pretty funny, too! I like that!" Starrynight couldn't help but giggle aloud when he thought of HD's quirky dance.

Twisting around, he hauled the bucket up and onto the railing, where he held it in place so it wouldn't fall. "But the point is..." Here it comes! "I would like you two to be the Ascendant's first promotions! I want you to step up as Starstruck Guardians!" Go! The Astral Seraph tipped the bucket upside down, gripping the bucket hard as to not drop it while the contents spilled out. A clump of paper spread out as it flitted to the ground, assisted by the breeze carrying through the open slot on the roof and into the grand circle. It was white paper, roughly cut into the shape of stars. He'd been up the majority of the night planning for today, using the light of the monitors to see what he was doing as he cut out all of the confetti stars. He had been so excited to use it. "Surprise! Unless anyone has anything to say, I'd consider this meeting concluded!"
