what pride had wrought - meeting 9/15 - GRIMNYTE - 09-15-2018
[div style=" background-color: transparent; border: 0px solid black; width: 540px; min-height: 6px; font-family:; line-height: 110%; text-align: justify; color:; padding: 20px"]It had been approximately a week since their last meeting, and in that period of time, Esklav had been busy on his own. He knew it wasn't fair to those underneath him - as a leader he was expected to be present, no matter his personal qualms; to not be able to meet such a standard was an insult to him as much as it was to their group's already poor reputation. It... the feeling in him was something akin to being troubled, a tightening in his chest that made him twitch his jaw unpleasantly in response. Esklav was better than this. He was no longer a slave, after all. Nobody could hold anything over him unless they sought to provoke a most unpleasant wrath. The free will was odd, but he enjoyed it. As time passed he began to experience things he had never gotten the chance to before.
The life he had lived up until now had been dismal, and he fully intended to change that. The stoic leopon wanted to put himself out there in a more mundane environment, to not fold in on himself as he had always done before unless called upon to do differently.
If he had not already wasted his chance, he wanted to start using it today.
In the comfortable confines of their new fortress was a throne. It had accumulated years worth of debris, but with time he had managed to clear it out before settling in to handle the announcements. When he sat up in it the patterned coat of fur did not do much to mask the feel of the solid bone that structured the chair, but he did find that he didn't mind it much at all. "I've gathered you all here today to commence the second meeting since my rise to power, and I would like to preface it with a sincere apology. I'm sorry. I know I have been absent, and that is not anyone's fault but my own. So instead of softening the blow with an excuse, I instead promise that from this meeting on I will do better. It is my job to so and for the first time I have not done it as well as i'd hoped."
Admitting it made him uncomfortable. And he knew it made him uncomfortable, from the way his body involuntarily squirmed in response, memories of long-gone punishments opening what he had thought was a healed wound. He half expected someone to appear around the corner and confront him about it. "Anyways, on to better things. Cosette, Quill, and Gabriel are all promoted to Seekers. Stryker is promoted to Slaver, and Benny to warlord. And in an unexpected turn of events, both Valkyr and Tsuyu are promoted to normal members. They've proven their worth well enough, and I won't be accepting any complaints with it."
"As promised, we'll be having an event from the beginning of next week 'till the end of the month. This event will be called The Purge, and will be an annual tradition around this time of the year to cause as much mischief as humanly possible before winter hits. The more you steal, collect slaves, and raid, the more points you'll earn and in turn the closer you'll get to winning the grand prize. A prize that includes public recognition, special privileges, and the chance to be the first member of The Pitt to hold the new title of gladiator. Any member who gets this title has an increased opportunity to be promoted to my vicar for their dedication to The Pitt and its principals. This is not an excuse to slack off after the event, however. You stand the same chance of being demoted in a split second like anyone else who has a streak of lazing about camp instead of peforming their duties."

- My apologies for my inactivity. I've been trying my best to do better in school this year, which means that i've spent more nights slacking off than not. I will try to effectively balance everything as best as I possibly can in the upcoming weeks, and hopefully months, following this meeting. With that being said, because this time of the year is arguably the busiest, high positions will not be held to a high standard during this time. However, I would still like to see up to a few posts in a week, and if you can't meet that standard, please post an activity notice!
- Promotions go to [member=2048]COSETTE[/member] , [member=2154]GABRIEL H.[/member] , & [member=2078]QUILL H.[/member] to the position of Seeker. [member=1738]Stryker[/member] is promoted to Slaver. [member=1555]benny g.[/member] to Warlord. And finally, [member=2031]VALKYR[/member] & [member=1262]TSUYU.[/member] to normal members from their position of slave! Congratulations guys!! I appreciate all of your dedication and hard work, truly <3 thank you so much.
- Introducing the new tradition of THE PURGE! The Purge is an event where members will compete by performing acts of mischief against The Pitt's enemies. It will start on monday, the 17th. The more your character does, the more points they earn, and the winner will get the new title of Gladiator! Gladiators are members recognized for their great contribution to The Pitt and their dedication to what the group stands for. Gladiators will have an increased chance of having my eye on them for future promotions, skipping the SHP rank of Seeker. They will also earn 20k gems from myself. A member in second place will get 15k, and all participants who did not place will receive 2k for participation. There may or may not be a third place as well.
- Stay tuned for more stuff!

She had been looked down upon for the whole time she had been a slave here in the Pitt. Maybe it was right of the other members to look down on her, since she was so incredibly unstable at her first few weeks of joining and melding herself into the group. Maybe not.
However, as she hopped into the meeting room, she heard Esklav talk about how a new event was being made. The Purge? How interesting, Tsuyu loved the idea of that. Stryker and the others had all been promoted, they deserved it, after all.
What did surprise her was the fact that herself and Valkyr had been promoted. With a sideline glance, Tsuyu searched for the mentioned sha creature, a look of hatred burning in her charcoal eyes. She still hated that fool for getting her capturee back into her home. She could have stopped him, but that damn mental manipulation.. Fuckin' hell.
"'Understood, sir. Congrats to the promoted, ribbit." She croaked out, her long tongue resting on her front paws idly.

Oh tradition, and promotions? The child sauntered over interested, he gave a smile in regards that Tsuyu was now no longer a slave, naturally that was something to be happy about right? Yep at least he should see it as that. Probably taking it a chance to congratulate Tsuyu but seeing that her emotion clearly read that it would probably be best not to adress it yet, since her promotion brought some anger in regards to someone else.
" Congrats to those promoted." he carefully echoed in a hushed tone. Perhaps he stood a chance of causing some mischief, some but not all. He wasn't exactly found of collecting slaves and raiding. Stealing perhaps, for resources that he might need but for the other things, such as collecting slaves and raiding, he would leave that to his fellow clanmates, or brutes.

[align=center][div style="width: 51%; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; font-family: verdana;"]Gabriel found himself ripped from his half-asleep and stoned stupor by a call from Esklav. Though his voice was registered distantly, the serval turned his head towards the sound and eventually his body had followed suit. By the time he had arrived at the back of the meeting, he was fully aware of his surroundings and situation. Thankfully.
Gabriel blinked as Esklav spoke his name, smiling slightly and perking up as he realized it had been placed next to a promotion to seeker. He'd wait until the end of the meeting to say his thanks, though, listening to the rest of the demiurge's words. A Purge sounded extremely exciting! Gabriel's sadistic tendencies could finally come out to play in some way that wasn't harassment of a poor slave unlike some others. "Thank you, Esklav," the serval voiced finally, gaze swinging to look for his cohorts, as well as Tsuyu and Valkyr. They had to be excited to be real members now, right?

BENNY G.
the new territory was... something alright. definitely much more mapped out and bigger than the last. set borders for them to patrol easily and a settled camp that made enough room for everyone. benny had found himself a small crevice in the side of the mountain that the castle was built upon. enough room for him to sleep comfortably at night and keep him cool and sheltered from the sun, and then the dangerous temperatures it reached at night.
the bright side, though, was everything felt more shaped and organized. even with more territory to explore, benny felt he could do more with what they had now.
when esklav had called for a meeting, the fox surely wasn't expecting the promotion. he raised a brow, and slowly a grin grew across his maw and he nodded his head. "gotcha, chief."he was excited for cosette, too. she was a hard working individual herself, even if her efforts weren't fitting to their theme. he did notice she was trying her best to do so.

Re: what pride had wrought - meeting 9/15 - Stryker - 09-16-2018
[align=center][div style="width: 60%; text-align: justify; font-size: 11pt; font-family: georgia;"]☣ — A promotion to... Slaver? With his opinion on slaves being quite neutral, the male was surprised to be announced as a slaver instead of something like a warlord. Nevertheless, Stryker was pleased. If it gave him some sort of authority against those he wanted to abuse, then he supposed there was no problem. Still, the lion felt disregarded. With that in mind, he just offered an appreciated nod.
/ <3 thank you

I ADMIRE IT'S PURITY
curled by the feet of the area pale-mother-queen spoke from the contented shadows stirred as a regal cranium turned to spy whom his queen-mother had called out too.
Serpent-lion was serpent-lion-Carrier - small-marbled-drone was small-marbled-Ravager and a trio of new warrior caste, yet slave-preys were now drones.
this was all filed away as the creature 'looked' on, rumbling hiss a staccatto hum to the backdrop of the meeting.

She was somewhat late, but still, she was here. Cosette hurried over, taking a seat next to Benny and nodding to him in greeting. Then she turned her attention to Esklav as he began to speak. A Seeker? That didn't sound too bad. A small grin parted on her face, turning to the fox beside her for approval. It felt nice to be acknowledged, even though she questioned her worthiness for it.
"Thank you, sir," she spoke to the leader, then turned back to her friend, a pleased look on her face. "Congratulations!" she said, not only to Benny but everyone else that had been promoted.

[align=center][div style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 9pt; width: 55%; text-align: justify;"]Honestly, Melantha is not sure why she bothers to show up to these things. She really just...does not care. The mountain lioness is confident in her position and knows how to execute her duties--especially now that Dante is not around to annoy her. However, it is important to save face. She might not give a damn, but it would not do well for people to start realizing just how little she actually cares. Some of these freaks will only respect her if she gives them a reason to. Mel prefers to keep out of trouble if she can avoid it.
