A rather satisfying conclusion marked the end of the meeting for high positions. The library had housed a lively discussion in regards to the Pitt, what what defensive and proactive measures would be taken to prevent their treachery from harming Tanglewood anymore. Leroy acknowledged the sentiments that made homes out of his personnel's initial facial expressions when the gathering commenced; there was somewhat of a collective disapproval of some of his decisions, he could tell. However, by the closure of it, the hound acquired a little bit of optimism in that he managed to get his fellow higher-ups to fully understand his viewpoints. Aurum made it very clear that his trust had been placed in his leader, which was enough to alleviate the canine's worries.

With that meeting complete, a new meeting for the entirety of the group could be held. It'd been a considerable amount of weeks since the last public meeting. Hell, it'd even been over a month. Shit, perhaps there should've been a meeting last month along with the high positions one, too.

"Errr- Tanglewood!" the general calls from the base of the town's iconic heavily-corroded statue, "It's high time for a meetin', dont'cha think?" About six months into his leadership, it was safe to say that Leroy felt comfortable addressing everyone now. Originally, his speeches were practically copy-and-pasted from what he remembered of Crows's rhetorics - yet, these days the words seamlessly flowed from his maw without any issue. Sometime during the last month or two, the wolfhound truly became comfortable in his position. And, seeing how Tanglewood required a competent leader after Crow's decline (sorry Crow), this was a very good thing indeed.

Once the usual mass of tribemates began formulating before him, he would speak once more. "Salutations, my friends," he greets, his eyes sweeping the audience to pinpoint the group's fresh faces, "as per usual, we're startin' the meetin' with a message of hospitality." Fully knowing that the list of newcomers was quite extensive, the general audibly clears his throat. "Zoey- shit, I mean- Zora, Abraham, Dr. Caustic, Bokarsi, Izuku, Alaric, Evarhi, Kiwi, Whisperedsecrets, Matthew, Florence, Bridget, Tobias, Ambrose, and Margery; welcome to Tanglewood! I hope each and every one of ya enjoy your stays here." Fifteen joiners. Someone must've dropped a magnet by the border sometime during March, for Leroy couldn't think of any reason why an abundance of people would join in a manner like that.

There were more unique faces in the audience, however. "I'd also like to issue a hearty welcome back to Tanglers who'd decided to rejoin us. Isaac, Kaito, and Crow," he says, his tone noticeably upbeat while declaring the hindmost name, "we thank ya for comin' back." Leroy couldn't recall much of what Isaac had done during his brief stay a few months back, but the leader was entirely aware of Kaito's thieving endeavours - if that kid desired to call this place his home, then he'd promptly cancel all upcoming wannabe heists. And, Crow. Fuck, he still had some love in his heart for Crow. The both of them shared a home, after all, but what the feline had been doing to himself was unbearable to Leroy. But, with his return to activity and apparent newfound healthy ways, the mongrel was more than happy to have him back.

"Of course, it's springtime now, so we've got some new children among us now. Aurum and Whisperedsecrets brought Asvini, Goldnugget, Chirin, and Taegue into the world. Welcome, you four. Additionally, Selby and Moth brought Atticus, Ivan, Winston, Quentin, Alice, and Simon into the world, too. Again, welcome!"

"I'd like to give shoutouts to Ivan and Alaric. I've seen ya both around a ton, so keep it up!" Earthen brown hues comb the congregation of Tanglers until he spots the two felines he named. Due to him not having opposable thumbs, he couldn't give a thumbs up, so a proud nod would have to do. Leroy continues to speak; "Dr. Caustic, Beck, and Kaito are promoted to Chaser - if they so desire." As was done with Ivan and Alaric, those named were gifted with a pleased nod in their direction. "There're some demotions as well. Abathur has been demoted from Chaser. Should he return to activity, that spot may be re-earned. And Miller has been demoted from Chaser for that same reason, but I don't know if he's comin' back to Tanglewood anytime soon."

"Vathmos has been exiled for causin' grievous bodily harm to another Tangler. As per customary for exiled Tanglers, she's been branded with an easily identifiable scar; a large cut spanning her right shoulder to her chest. If you see her venture back to our territory, she's to be killed. If that is impossible, then at least make her flee."

"Next," he says, "we got some titles to hand out. I'd like to award Raymond with the Emissary title. Ambassador visits between groups saw a decline as of late, but, fortunately, our ambassador to the Typhoon has been stickin' to his duties. So thank you. Also, I wanna give the Revenant title to Beck. The Revenant title is given to those who've undergone major development since arrivin' in Tanglewood; and since Beck's been with the tribe since the very beginnin', I say he easily deserves this one."

"Alright, time for the latest deets on what's been happenin'." His voice is not forged from seriousness, but rather, humour. It's been a while since something not shitty had been on the news side of things for a meeting. "I've received intel pertainin' to childhood mischievousness in our fair tribe - mostly from the Typhoon. If this continues, I encourage mischievousness to be returned. So, feel free to play a practical joke on the pirates, 'cause I'd say they deserve it after our trees were painted."

"If anyone wants to say anythin', then go ahead. If that ain't the case, though, then resume your regular schedules."

    To be honest, Alaric had no idea what to expect when Leroy called for a meeting. He had not been around long enough to attend one before, and so when the general's voice boomed out from the town's statue, he was drawn to the source immediately with a genuine interest that he did not express for many things beyond his studies.

    He also certainly had not been anticipating his name coming up in the meeting. The wolfhound's recognition of his activity as well as the nod he issued made Alaric's chest swell with pride. A smile of sorts crept onto his face, and after Leroy and Aurum completed their respective speeches, he would pipe up as well. "Thank you, Leroy, and congratulations to all those promoted."

Much of the world was left undiscovered to Asvini at this moment- judging by her little excursions into the woods, it wasn't enough to cover the territory of this massive island. From the Pittians, to the Typhooners- which were indeed mentioned in this meeting- she had some work to do. However, mischievous behavior wasn't exactly one thing Asvini was one to be put up to, but if it was encouraged... She stepped in, her eyes shifting towards the other Roux children, before she settled down next to her mother and kept her head cocked.

"speech"

Another meeting. Raymond could say that he was pleased. With the last meeting being so dramatic, he couldn't help but anticipate what was up next. Thankfully, it was safe to say that this meeting would be no different. With excitement galore for the newcomers, along with the promotions, he would surely be satisfied. Especially with himself.

Upon arriving, the panther found himself a spot near the back, far from anyone who would bother him. With rounded ears raised, he listened carefully. At Leroy's mistake, he stifled a cackle. 'Poor girl. What a welcome,' he thought. Thankfully, she didn't appear to be here just yet, so he couldn't offer his lackluster condolences. Raymond might just be oblivious though. Perhaps he'd notice her later. After all, a crowd had gathered by now and it was hard to see if you weren't as large as him.

When it came to demotions and promotions, Raymond couldn't say he was surprised. Those named were apparent to him. They were both demoted and promoted rightfully. Hell, who was Abathur again? Miller too? He couldn't put his paw on it. With that said, it seemed rightful for them to be relieved of their rank. To say that Vathamos being exiled wasn't a surprise either. After last meeting, they were asked to step aside. Then again, it was not his business. He couldn't say he was curious about the politics though... Hell, he was an ambassador. The panther had to care.

Thankfully, hard work pays off. Leroy uttered his name and his attention perked right back up. A reward was in store. 'Emissary', the leader called him. While a title, it was well-earned progress. Raymond nodded his head lowly in admiration. "Why thank you," he echoed from the back.

The news of The Typhoon did cause him to smirk a bit. It seemed as if their kittens were rowdy, similarly to their own. "If it deems fit, I will join anyone on their venture to The Typhoon for some playful mischief," he emphasized. With his new title and his duties as an ambassador, Raymond didn't want to poison the waters between The Typhoon and Tanglewood.

//thanks! sick rn so apologies for lateness + lackluster response

Upon his arrival, the warm welcomes into Tanglewood had begun. With a smile, he sat down near the only Ivan that seemed familiar to him: Ivan. New to the experience himself, he was proud to her his own named called amongst those new and old. Plus, his brothers and sisters were mentioned. Besides that, Atticus didn't find much to be entertained by within this meeting. He wasn't one for meetings, he supposed. This was only his first though.
