Anxious paws carried him to the Firepit in the center of the Enclave's camp, a lit cigarette dangling from his mouth as he took yet another drag to calm his nerves. His first real meeting. What a day. Laying chunks of cut firewood into the pit, Maximilian fumbled with his lighter to ignite a smaller bundle of wood within the pit, sparking a flame that would soon spread to the rest of the wood, generating a bright fire that towered above the cabins as though it were a beacon of light. Exhaling smoke, he tossed his cigarette into the pit and produced a bugle that he had found in his own home, blowing into it and creating a loud, low noise that could be heard throughout the camp.

"Enclavians! Gather around the Firepit for a meeting," the Alpha called, awaiting for the rest of his clan to join him on the benches along the Firepit. An immense flame, a bugle's call, and his own shouted demands? No way in hell anyone would miss this, but now was the time for experimentation. So far this seemed to be his chosen method of summoning the clan.

People were gathering. Good, good. He nodded in acknowledgement to Okami before he stepped back, careful not to approach the lapping flames of the Firepit too closely and risk burning himself. Now it was time. His first meeting.

"I'd like to welcome every one of youse to the Enclave 'nd its new home here," Maximilian began, projecting his booming voice so that all could hear his words. "We'll take things slow, getting used to our new territory and workin' out all the kinks. But before this, I would like to announce some important promotions." He had been taking note of those who displayed the greatest initiative and desire to work hard, determining what role would fit their skillsets and Divisions best. After weeks of deliberation, he felt that he was ready to make his conclusions public.

"I'll begin with our Trias — our three Division leaders. That is, the Sigma of the Sun Division, the Delta of the Moon Division, and the Epsilon of the Star Division. I've elected members whose skills most accurately reflect the values and ambitions required for these positions. I am appointing Sora as our Sigma, Rylios as our Delta, and Okami as our Epsilon. Effective immediately, all Omegas will report to these three with respect to their Division." Surely this would assist him in the whole leadership thing and soothe his nerves a little. He could not do this alone. "I'd also like to announce two more promotions. Alex and Ragnar will be the Enclave's first Gammas." He took a moment for the changes in the Enclave's ranks to sink in. "Congratulations to the five of youse. Work hard."

With that being said, he wanted to give a fair warning to those gathered. "I thank youse all for gatherin' here. Moving on, only Omegas and above may attend regular meetings, which will be indicated by lighting a flame in the Firepit. Emergency meetings 'nd the like will be marked by the fire and the call of the bugle. To progress to the rank of Omega, Zetas must complete their Nostos. Get that shit done. Good things only come with hard work." This was no place for the weak. Many people were slacking already.

"Finally, I have an opportunity for youse all to get some shit done around here. The Enclave will be sendin' gifts to as many foreign clans as possible. Be courteous 'n put some effort into 'em. We'll be doin' this to make our presence known and to better understand the intents of other clans. If you're in a place that you think is unsafe, leave the basket on their borders or some shit and get the fuck out. Don't risk your head for this, and don't cause any trouble anywhere. For those interested, just announce where you're goin' and follow through afterwards." Max didn't want to sacrifice any Enclavians, especially not this early, but interaction with other clans would be necessary at some point. It was time to get a head start.

"Unless you're interested in the gift baskets or have any questions, this meeting is dismissed," the wolf said with a huff, pleased to have finally finished. Well, that wasn't too bad, right?

tl;dr:
- I'd like to say welcome to everyone checking out or joining the Enclave and give a big thank you to everyone that supported and helped with its creation!!
- [member=23398]Sora Hoshi[/member] is promoted to Sigma
- [member=3043]teef[/member]/Rylios is promoted to Delta
- [member=23404]OKAMI RUSSO[/member] is promoted to Epsilon
- [member=23399]ALEX K. HAYDEN[/member] and [member=16329]RAGNAR C.S.[/member] are promoted to Gamma
- Only Omegas may attend meetings from now on unless stated otherwise
- The Enclave is giving gift baskets to clans in order to introduce themselves and gauge the intents of each clan; in order to participate, reply with the name of a clan and you can make a thread there!!

what was that god awful sound? sora let her head rise from her paws and her ears twitched in mild annoyance. until the voice of max hit her ears and she decided to forget that nap she was trying to have. she may as well go to the meeting and pick a little fun at him. he deserved it after waking her up from her fresh nap.

plus, they were friends so she had a right to tease him a bit. so, those sturdy paws guided her to the gathered and she would take her seat. i've heard of tooting your own horn, but this is a new extreme. she mused softly as she titled her head to watch him.

then he started on the meeting and she glanced to okami. she was promoted and she seemed stunned. thank you. and congrats to all. she offered with a softer voice. listening to the rest with curious perked ears now. i can go drop off gifts.

a pause and she stood. i can go to the pits and the coalition of the condemned. she decided with a tilt of her head.
