Crystalize the Past ◈ June Meeting ◈ Forge the Future - Nord - 06-09-2024
Nord speaking -- crystal wyvern -- Extra Character Speaking
RE: Crystalize the Past ◈ June Meeting ◈ Forge the Future - APOSTLE - 06-09-2024
Apostle's head raised as he felt the air stir with the beat of Nord's wings, the sound of his voice ringing in his eardrums. He didn't often show his face for things like this. Too many people, too much happening that Apostle struggled to keep up with. It made him itch, made him want to squirm, made him hope the ground would open up beneath him and swallow him whole, or at least that he could crawl out of his own skin and hide somewhere else.
Logically speaking, he knew nobody was paying any attention to him. It didn't matter all that much, though; he still felt their imaginary gazes, his fur still prickled with unease. He'd only come this time because it was the first one in, well, a while, and he sort of felt like he should rather than really wanted to. He had to try his hardest to focus on what Nord was actually saying rather than the imaginary stares of those around him.
He didn't care much for any of it, really. A call to apply for high ranks and positions was the least of Apostle's problems, he didn't like being in social situations at all, least of all being in the spotlight like that, but it itched at an urge in his mind that he longed to forget; the instinctive need to make Ninazu and Stryker proud, in ways he knew they would be of Romulus, and Vale, and... And Sojourn.
He did his best to force those thoughts away, too.
Likewise, he was similarly uninterested in the Call of the Hunt. The fight had left Apostle a long time ago, after his parents had died. Before he abandoned his family because he was too ashamed to face the guilt of being unable to save his mom and dad. His gaze cast downwards. He would participate, if he had to; his claws still knew how to cut through flesh well enough, his teeth still knew how to pierce, muscles still ached with the strain of battles long since passed. He could fight. He'd rather not, but, well, he had to do his part.
He held his breath for a moment as Nord called for volunteers to visit the other groups. His skin itched. He didn't want to go, didn't like social situations and he liked strangers even less, if truth was to be told! But...
"I can visit the Descendants," he choked out, ignoring the way his brain immediately began screaming at him. Why did he speak!? Now they were looking! He didn't want them to look! "It'd be safer if I go." Because, Well, Vale; but he didn't feel like saying that, and he didn't think anyone else really had to know, either.
RE: Crystalize the Past ◈ June Meeting ◈ Forge the Future - Reygan - 06-11-2024
Reygan had always been a nervous guy, but, understandably, the recent events and the loss of his eye have exacerbated that tenfold. No part of the feline wanted to travel anywhere or... do any of these things. At one point in his little life, he would have. In fact, that was all he wanted at one time. But that time was long past and now all Rey wanted to do was... spend a full day without clipping a tree with his blind side. The fact that his whiskers hadn't grown back in yet and that wasn't helping the situation in the slightest.
Shrinking in his skin, Rey's stomach roiled uncomfortably. He was regretting eating breakfast... and that late lunch he had had too. Of course, he expected an announcement, but... he didn't know what he was expecting. Maybe it was this, maybe it wasn't, but Rey couldn't be here anymore.
Rising abruptly to his paws, the small feline slipped through the crowds as everyone roared their support. He was jostled on all sides until he squeezed himself out, throwing himself away from the crowd and lowering his head, drawing in gasping breaths.
Reygan wasn't going to help find other group's opinions of the Emerald Isles... He was barely good enough to be here himself.

Tommy very happily sat front and center for this meeting, eagerly awaiting the Sovran's arrival. Somewhere behind him, his older brother had reluctantly and very grumpily followed, the larger wolfdog having practically been dragged along to participate in something he could care less about. But whatever made Tommy momentarily happy.
Tommy was among those cheering, ready to get back to it as they should. He was also just a bit mesmerized by Nord's appearance, probably the main reason he wanted to sit so close among all these others much to his brother's annoyance. The call for ranks flew right over his head, responsibility was not something he craved, he wanted to do his part when he felt like it. His tail began to wag at mention of the Call of the Hunt, however, something he did crave. The adrenaline, the chance to prove himself physically. The excitement had him hopping up on all four paws, barely noticing as Reygan squeezed past to escape the crowd, ears fully pressed forward as Nord finished out the speech with a mighty roar.
He let out a crackling howl, something not quite refined for his age, and bounced on his toes now. "I'll go, Sovran!" he called quickly, only briefly glancing toward Apostle. "Wherever you wanna send me, I'm there." His tongue lolled as his mouth opened in the closest to a grin a canine could share. Behind him, his brother growled quietly, knowing he would have to accompany the idiot and not wanting to leave to speak to some damn strangers. But it was too late, Tommy already opened his big mouth.

RE: Crystalize the Past ◈ June Meeting ◈ Forge the Future - Bloodstone - 06-18-2024
Upon thin, spindly legs did the dragoness approach, somewhat late to the meeting but catching sound of Nord's voice. Mottled dark green and red scales shimmered in ambient lighting as she came to a halt. She briefly shook herself, from sharp talons to great wings, and down to her shimmering crystal-tipped tail.
The dragoness craned her head up to stare upon Nord with three eyes of slight reverence, and lips parted to reveal sharp fangs and a forked tongue, "I can visit The Horde, my Sovran."
Her tri-colored gaze drifted slightly to Apostle, Reygan, and Tommy. None she had quarrel with, for what good would she be if she picked fights with those of her group? Her gaze returned to Nord, eyes fluttering slightly for a brief moment. What she saw in him, she had no idea-
Bloodstone was interrupted by a slight pang of hunger in her body, and her bright wings twitched.
