Pincher had returned. And he still couldn't believe it. He had come back from the dead, back to his home. And yet, it only caused a knot in his stomach to form as he stepped back from his desk inside the submarine, tired yet unable to sleep. He didn't feel normal despite being greeted by his crew, the relief to see that nothing had changed did not allow Pincher to be distracted by the ominous wonder of how had he returned and what had happened to him. The forked tongue, the new scars that decorated his body, and the tattoos. Tattoos he did not recall ever recieving while he was mortal nor did the resurrected male recall feeling the tattoos being placed on his skin when he had been in the darkness of the ocean. It frightened him and yet he knew it was best not to dwell on it especially with the leadership duties that he must take on despite the fatigue that devoured him and refused to let him go. He had no slept for four days and the saying "I'll sleep when I'm dead" didn't exactly comfort Pincher on the idea of taking a break from it all. Besides, he enjoyed the work, it allowed there to be distractions to the haunting thoughts that lurked inside his head as the male glanced towards the nearest window in his submarine to notice the sun had begun to set, the sky now streaked with briliant strokes of pink and orange mixed together. The loveliest sunsets could only be found here and it relaxed him as he inhaled a breath and headed out to lead the Typhoon once again.

Once he stepped out, he glanced up at the crewmate that was given the duty to blow the conch to call the attention to everyone that there was a meeting. As he stepped into the familiar feel of the sand, his eyelids fluttered over his brilliant blue eyes as chills crawled up his spine. To feel dryness was almost an alien feeling to Pincher as he swallowed down a shaky gasp. He was fine. He was okay. Yet, Pincher didn't feel right. He felt empty. And he knew why. He could feel the emptiness. Having no heart any longer, what was keeping him alive? And where was his heart? The disgusting spear wound was no longer on his chest but rather a thin long scar, faded and hardly visible unless one looked closely. Pincher simply glanced at members as he noticed the numbers had increased while he was gone. Good. There would only be improvement from now on. His attention turned back to the cave that lead to the aquarium dome, his footsteps softly echoing in the darkness and then the blue glow that surrounded him as he entered the glass surrounded location. He felt another shiver run down his spine as he glanced at the vast ocean past the glass, the sealife that roamed and surrounded him causing a swell of anxiety to spike up but he bit down on his tongue and pushed onward until he reached the throne. He settled down on it, ears pricked as he kept a stoic expression yet one could see the wornness of Pincher's travel in his physique. His ribs could be easily visible, his pelt still slick with seasalt, and the rings of darkness under his cyan colored gaze.

"Alright, meeting is about to get started and there is a lot that I have to say so shut the fuck and listen. First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the warm welcomes...I'm glad to be back." Pincher began, a faint tired smile tracing his lips before the canine straightened his form and appeared like a businessman should. "I have decided to recreate the rank system with the addition of a Reaver, the highest rank one can reach before deciding which division they desire to focus on. Privateers are no longer a rank based on warfare, it's a general stepup from Striker position and with this, I'd like to promote Vanessa and Wade to become Privateers. Congratulations and take a fucking sip, babes. Wade, I would also like to give you the title as well as the skull charm for Hedonist. You know how to keep a party going and the Typhoon appreciates it." Pincher flashed a light wink as he pushed forward the cups that held the ceremonial promotion drink as well as placing the small skull charm for Wade beside his drink so the maned wolf may add it to the bracelet that every Typhoon member was given. Then he gave a nod before continuing "Goldie, Cronas, Coldblue, and Roxanne, all get shoutouts. Well done, keep it up. I'd like to thank Argus for improving your activity and that will be all for the good news." Pincher's poised aura then suddenly cracked as a spark of electricity rolled off his nose as he growled "And now to some elephants in the room. I'm sorry Sekai but I'm going to have to demote you until you increase your activity. If you do so, you will be able to gain your spot in the Striker. And Caesar, let me give you a fucking warning about your goddamn attitude that I've been hearing. If you keep causing trouble and tensions to rise in our crew because you haven't learned some damn humility, I'm going to demote your ass permanently. I don't want any of my high positions to use their rank as some sort of reason to treat others like shit. You don't have to like everyone but keep it civil and respectful unless you want to get punched by more of our crew." His tongue was laced with poison as he snapped, his voice increasing until it echoed in the dome as his eyes narrowed before he allowed himself to suck in a small inhale before adding "And I've noticed the increase of injuries around here which honestly I do not like. I want fighting kept at a controlled manner. If you want to sucker punch someone in the face, feel free to do so under the supervision of a Striker or any other higher position in a spar that can settle whatever the fuck you're angry about. Is that understood?" Pincher didn't want to waste any more medicine on members that weren't able to control themselves. He inhaled softly through his pepper black nose before deciding to now go into smoother waters.

"We have been doing outstandingly well with activity and I am thankful for everyone's participation in it. Y'all are great despite being a real pain in my ass. There are also new freshmeat around here. Arlo is the new kid on the block so be nice. There's also angry pipsqueak Edward walking among us as well as Connor, the one with the weird voice. My long lost half-sister Rosemary has decided to join us, as well as Alpha, another kid that managed to reached this hellhole. There's also some weird egg that had washed ashore and uh, some of you guys want to keep it so yeah let's see if it'll actually hatch. There are also returning faces which is the son of bitch known Greed, Sekai, and our little Keona." Phew. He was speaking quite a lot, something he was not used to due to the silence he had endured after his death. He swallowed, raising a paw to rub at one side of his neck where his gills were before adding "Caesar is holding weekly tasks/prompts this week. There is also a pokemon week happening right now so come join us! Calypso's Carnival is currently happening so go check that out as well. The June Choice Awards will be closing this weekend on July 1st so make sure you submit your votes! If anyone else had anything to say, feel free to state it now. Other than that, meeting is over." It was good to be back. Work and all, he enjoyed the ability to be the one to give the news for the week.
