WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO LOVE — A day ago, Jacob had wondered if he'd even be able to do this. Pincher's death had brought the husky to a deep, dark place he hadn't visited in a long while. Not since the death of his Pa and his Ma. Not since the fire. That had been so long ago. He supposed that the week he spent with Pincher, the week where he insisted the whole submarine was burning and Pincher would die soon too, that week had been dark but not as dark as now because he hadn't been alone. Jacob had always been resiliant but lonliness was the one thing he could never overcome. When there was no one to hold him to a standard, no one to bring him back to reality when his mind ran away, things got bad quickly. It was like he didn't have anyone left to care about or live for so he stopped caring about himself entirely. Jacob didn't find his personal value in himself or in his abilities but in the people he shared his life with. They were what was valuable about him. When those people stopped exisiting or left, Jacob didn't know what to do.
But now Pincher was back. And he still had his clanmates, who relied on him. Things might be a little late but he would still do the job he promised them. It didn't matter how he felt. "Everyone! Come n' gather for a meetin'!" The husky called. He waited a few moments for his clan to gather before he began speaking, "I gotta' lot ta' cover this week so 'm jus' gonna' go 'head n' start right away. 'M gonna' start by sayin' tha' there are no demotions or warnin's this week. However, there are a few promotions. Aizawa, I'd like ya' ta' step up as Snowstriker. Atbash, I want ya' ta' step up as Arcticplayer. Ya' both 'ave been invaluable ta' me n' offered plenty ah' help n' ideas so I'd be happy ta' have ya' join me on the hp team. Natasha, you're promoted ta' either Flurryhost or Lionheart, ya' can choose which ya' prefer," he paused for a moment, glancing down at his note cards. Good, he was still running on time and he hadn't forgotten anything so far. "I'd also like ta' welcome all the new member tha' came in this week includin' Kodiak, Riddlersgame, Hana, Vinny, n' Clementine. I'd also like ta' welcome back four returnin' members, Tena, Killua, Kratos, n' Levi. We're happy ta' 'ave all ah' ya' n' it was nice seein' so many new n' familiar faces this week," he concluded before shifting the note cards in his paws.
Only one more big announcement. After that, it'd be easy. Just little reminders about things that were already happening. "My next announcement is bringin' a big change ta' Snowbound tha' I hope ya'll will be interested in. We 'ave all these empty shops 'ere n' it seems like a waste ta' leave 'em layin' around. So, I've decided tha' 'm gonna' let ya'll start your own businesses. It can be anythin' ya' can think of, offerin' trainin' services or makin' food or makin' jewelry; anythin' ya' can think of. Since we're doin' this, I've also decided ta' 'ave us start usin' a currency called syamine. 'S a blue, translucent mineral tha' was in our caves. They're pretty easy ta' smooth out. When we do weekly tasks now, you'll be able ta' request a task from a specific category n' get five syamine if ya' complete it. This is gonna' start this week durin' weekly tasks. Doin' so many tasks in a certain category can make special events n' activities happen when they fill up. If ya' 'ave any questions 'bout this, feel free ta' ask 'em once this meetin' is over," he explained before taking a deep breath and moving his cards one last time.
These last few announcements would be easy, just a couple of reminders about things they'd been doing for awhile anyway. "Finally, we 'ave a celebration with Typhoon goin' on n' a decoration contest. The decoration contest ends tomorrow so make sure ya' get your entry in if ya' wanna be considered," he finished before his eyes widened slightly. "Oh! 'M startin' bi-weekly meetin's for the semi-high positions n' high positions. Once I find a Snowseeker, they'll be holdin' these but for now I'm doin' it. Jus' meet me back 'ere later tonight so we can discuss things. Other than that, ya'll are dismissed," he stated, taking a deep breath as he finished. Another meeting done. Thank goodness.
