REDVOX "VINNY" ABRAMO - cis male - goat-bat hybrid - harbinger

It was sort of surreal, being in charge of the Halls of Hiraeth again after all this time. Sure, it had been a couple of weeks since Vinny had originally announced the official refounding of the group, but every morning he woke up and was caught off guard by the scent of the Halls, and the growth covered room around him. Still, that was in no way a bad thing, and Redvox couldn't help the grin that graced his face every day he stepped outside of his room and saw other Halls members milling about, achieving tasks and working together while getting to know each other. It was all so exciting, in fact, that Vox had nearly forgotten that he was supposed to host a meeting soon. After all, people needed to know what was going on within the group, not to mention the fact that the only high position at the moment was himself, and even if that made him feel special, it was also stressful as hell. So, he had been keeping an eye on things for the last couple of weeks, and he had decided what he was going to do for this first meeting, feeling quite confident in his decisions. The hybrid took a deep breath as he moved to the front steps of the town hall that stood impressively in town, his clawed wings pulling him up onto the top step before he turned around, calling out loudly, "'Ey! Everybody gather 'round, alright? It's meetin' time!" It was a rather informal call to gather, but Vinny had never been the most formal guy in the world, and he preferred to see smiling faces looking up at him when people gathered, rather than grim and respectful neutral looks. Thankfully for him, people began to gather around before too long, glancing up at him curiously. He could notice some of the younger members of the group playfully shoving each other, excitedly mumbling what they thought might be going on, or who might get promoted. A soft chuckle left Vox at this, and he waited until most of the group was around before speaking, "Hello everyone! It's good ta see y'all here. This is th'first official meetin' of the Halls of Hiraeth, and first and foremost, I'd like ta say that I'm real proud of us! This place 'as been booming ever since the foundin', and it's really amazing ta see. I'd like us ta keep that up, if possible."

He watched as the people around him excitedly whooped and looked happily at each other, evidently proud that they had been working so hard. He bit back a huge grin and waited for the crowd to settle once again before continuing, "So, I'm sure a lot of ya are wonderin' who I'm gonna end up promotin', since it's not like I can run this place by m'self. Well, I've been payin' close attention to everybody that's been around, and I've made a few decisions, don't y'worry." He glanced around, his eyes falling upon the first couple of names that came to mind as he continued, "First up is your new sentinels. In case ya didn't know, our sentinels are the steppin' stone rank 'round here. They've showed a ton of activity, and I'm impressed by their skills. I've decided ta promote Aslisk, D, 'n' Cottontail ta this rank. You've all shown impressive activity, not ta mention your skills. Aslisk, I was considering ya for Arch-templar, but ya need to learn t'control your temper. Y'can't be in charge of our main fightin' force if ya can't even go without threatenin' your leader. Show me some improvement? Things might change. In recognition of how I can't turn a fuckin' corner in this place without runnin' into ya, however, I'd like ta also give you the title of Hot Shot." He held eye contact with the new sentinel for a moment, before giving her a small nod of appreciation. She had been active as all hell lately, and he appreciated that, but he couldn't put her in a position of power if she wasn't able to control herself. Sighing, the male then said, lifting his head and smiling, "As for Arch-rogue and Arch-templar... well, they're pretty self explanatory, 'eh? They're in charge of th'rogues and the templars, and they help me out 'round here. I've thought about it a lot, and I'd like Roman ta step up as Arch-Templar, and Breena ta step up as Arch-rogue. You've both shown activity and the ability ta keep it together in tough situations, and that's why I've decided ta promote you two. Don't make me regret it." He gave another firm nod, as if trying to reassure himself he had made the right decision. He had bounced back and forth between so many different names in an effort to figure out who to promote, and he still felt some sense of nervousness even as he announced it.

Once the crowd had settled once more, Vox sighed and mumbled as he pulled his wings in close, shaking his head a bit, "Unfortunately, I haven't seen anybody ta promote to the rank of Cleric just yet, which is a problem. We don't know when we could 'ave injuries, and I'd like somebody who can deal with that. Because'a this, Roman, I'd like y'ta host some sort of class on medicine 'n' shit. You're the only member 'round here who has shown any knowledge, and I'd like ya t'share some of it. I'll be keepin' my eye out at the class for any future promotees." He felt nervous that they still didn't have a cleric yet, especially since they had already had several injuries just in their territory alone, but at the very least Roman could teach them all a little something in case of emergencies, and maybe somebody would show some interest. He then said, rolling his shoulders, "In addition ta all of that, shoutout ta Kilius. Y'haven't been as active as some others, but I've still taken notice, and if ya keep it up, y'could climb the ladder as well. And, uh, a big welcome ta Alaire 'n' Ta'nukk. We're glad ta have ya in the Halls." They'd had a few joiners since their founding, which just sort of added onto the surreal nature of everything for the hybrid.

He then mumbled, a sigh leaving him as he glanced in the direction of the shrine to Bertille, his gaze darkening for a moment, "In addition ta keepin' my eye open for a possible Regent, I'm also keepin' my eyes open for a priest as well. The priest's a highly important rank ta the group, and it has t'be somebody pretty damn devout. 'Cause of this, I'm gonna host a class on the pantheon of th'Halls pretty soon ta get everybody informed. So keep an eye out f'that." That was about all of the information in relation to promotions, so now it was time for some other important stuff, "As f'some other stuff goin' on... well, th'fact is that we're not too connected ta the outside groups right now. Because of that, I'd like ta send either one person or a pair of people ta go to each group 'n' let them know about us, as well as offer an alliance if they seem like they'd be interested. Er, each group 'cept Th'Pitt, of course. They don't deserve shit from us. So, if y'willing to to go to one of the other groups, please speak up." He then fell silent for a moment to catch his breath, figuring that some people would have some groups in particular that they'd want to go to.

Hmm, it thankfully did not seem like there would be any disputes over who had been or hasn't been promoted, beyond maybe a bit of annoyance from Aslisk – although far less than he had been expecting, if he was being honest. He dipped his head to those that had said thank you, as well as Aslisk. He was honestly pretty surprised she was even here, considering the extent of the injuries she had gotten recently from attempting to fireproof herself – he honestly kind of wished she hadn't come over, since she definitely needed some fucking rest. He took mental note of those that had shown up, and those that had decided not to volunteer for the diplomatic mission. Roman was probably right about the whole raid thing, and Vinny gave him a nod of acknowledgement, mumbling softly, "That's fine, Roman. Y'probably right." He also wasn't surprised by Aslisk not volunteering, not only because of her injuries, but because she didn't seem the type to go and interact peacefully with the other groups. Looking between D and Breena, the hybrid dipped his head and said softly, "'Course y'can go, D. I trust ya t'make us look good. How's about you go ta Elysium, 'n' Breena, you go to Tanglewood? I can cover The Typhoon, or maybe I'll get Kilius ta do it, since he's got a dual alliance there anyways." That seemed to cover all their bases, not mentioning the fact that Vox was planning on going to the Pitt to see Auggie soon, and would probably have to deal with them too anyways. Moving down from the front steps of the Town Hall, Vinny said firmly, "If all that's resolved, this meeting's dismisses f'today. See y'all again in a few weeks." He would, of course, see them before that, but he probably wouldn't have a meeting foe at least a couple of weeks, unless something majorly urgent came up.
