ADDICT ♡ MEETING [ 2/1 ]

[CORRUPTTIMELINES]

Solitude had built up.

Taking the form of a weary eyed dragon, the plague of solitude would wander closer to the group’s view. In spite of how close his scales showed, there was no attempt at contact. Precisely the opposite, really, his fleeting gaze dashed to the floor. With that, Cory sat in silence.

♦ | SALEM

Vine-wrapped paws softly carried the dark-furred wildcat below the sea dome, ears perked at the sound of the horn.  Skirting the edges of the crowd, Salem quickly found a quiet place besides Keona, dark hued eyes moving up to the throne politely -- a somber pang running through his chest at the new skull charm.  The grief was incomparable to what could have been, but it still felt surreal nonetheless.

I'll take my heart clean apart if it helps yours beat ♦  salem / faemor / crewmate

Kian Ó Faoláin

The Irishman smoothly slipped into the crowd with his usual jovial grin -- curious and eager to hear what the meeting had in store, having been away for a while. 

Truthfully, he found it disconcerting to see someone else on the throne, to recognize the new skull charm, but the faerie couldn't help but remind himself that when one lived as long as he did, it was inevitable to see the passage of time.  Kian had lost so many in that time.  At least Goldenluxury had not died -- she had a second chance to live, to experience everything again.

The pirate had watched Goldie grow up alongside Keona, had seen her take her place and work herself to death -- she deserved a chance to live life without the weight of being a captain on her shoulders.  She deserved it, for everything she had done for her crew.

He took a deep breath, finding a place close to Keona and Salem.

We'll all be returning, if we sail together

[ROXANNE R.]

She noticed the crowd that had gathered, she would offer a smile knowing that some of them did not like the sight of the skull charm but it was tradition and Roxanne would proceed through it, she was certain when her own time came. A skull charm would sit beside Goldie and Pincher's charms, a soft sigh would leave her maw as she adjusted her position on the throne to become a bit more comfortable to carry out the meeting. The draconic feline would offer all of those there a smile and a wave of her paw, she began to speak with a toothy grin present on her face "Alright, let's get this meeting fuckin started!" She brought her sticky notes that were under her tail a bit closer.

"Firstly, I would like to welcome Danny and Eltrous into our fine crew. We're happy to have you here." She said as she proceeded to throw that sticky note to the side with a soft huff, there was a pause as she began to wonder what else she would need to announce. With a light shake of her cranium, she continued to go through the meeting "Some shoutouts to Goldenluxury, Vayne, Lucy, Alexandre, Brandyskies-" She stopped momentarily having to squint at the other name she had sloppily written on the piece of paper only to say with a cough "And Riftweaver."

She let those shoutouts sink in before saying with a nod of her cranium "And finally, a fucking promotion that will not lead me into having three dealers." Her voice was playful as she said this, her mismatched gaze fixing themselves onto Diya with a tilt of her head only to speak once more "Diya, the officer position has been rather lonely since I moved up as quartermaster. I'd appreciate if you filled it, my love. Only if you accept, of course." A small smirk on haw maw as she would wait for the woman to answer her.

Ah, she had to announce the next thing. It made her sad but she knew that Rosemary should always look after herself first, she took a deep breath "And my final announcement, Rosemary has stepped down from her position as healer leaving us with a single medic." There was a brief pause as she added "So Roan, if you wish to hold tryouts again. It would be best to do it now." Roxanne took a deep breath continuing with a shake of her head "In brighter news, I went to Palm Glades and sought out an alliance with them. It went well and now, they're invited to all our fun little events and shit." The captain paused trying to figure out if there was anything else to be announced. Nah.

"If you have any questions then go ahead and ask away. If not, meeting is dismissed!"

DEAR FRIEND as you know,  your flowers are withering
your mother's gone insane, your leaves have drifted away.
    but the clouds are clearing up
        and i've come reveling, burning incandescently,
                                              like a bastard on the burning sea.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER,
BURIED DEEP UNDER THE WATER.

"This place is spectacular..." she'd say with a smile towards Michael's question, eyes glancing around the glass walls of the dome they sat in. She was half-tempted to abandon where she sat just to run up to one of the walls and watch the sea-life closer. But she remained where she was for the time being, tail curling around her paws, body gently swaying back and forth. She offers a warm smile towards Sea as he approached as well, happy that he decided to sit next to her. She seemed tempted to say something else, but soon enough the meeting would begin and her focus would fall upon her ma as she spoke up, listening quietly and carefully to her announcements. Upon hearing her own name, as well as two of her sons being given shoutouts, her eyes would light up a little, looking towards them with a nod. She'd offer one to Sea as well, regardless, simply happy the other was here in general.

Her attention would then shift towards her other mother, offering a small grin as the news of her being promoted came out. However, the grin would fade as Rosemary's choice to step down was next, blinking from the news. When Roxie would finish speaking, the female would take a few moments sitting there before preparing what she had to offer to the others. "Um, if I may," the tigress would speak up, voice shaking ever so slightly from the act of raising it. "I could help host the tryouts. Er, take notes, n' stuff, for Roan. So it's not as hard on 'im," she offers with a small nod towards Roan, looking to both him and then to her mom. Her paws shuffle quietly, her head slowly lowering once more as she awaits a response from either. Roan was pregnant, so all the work falling on himself of hosting tryouts, along with his regular duties as soothsayer, was not going to be as easy. The least the tigress could do for him was try to take that workload off. Which she'd been slowly trying to help with over the past month since waking up, but this was just another way she thought she could pitch in. She wanted to be useful.

He’d never seen so many people in one place, or that many different creatures at all for that matter. He kept a bit of distance, the crowd making him nervous, but did wag his tail when he heard his name. He didn’t know what that meant either, but he knew who he was.

For the rest of the time being though, the wolf pup just stared at the oceanic life that surrounded the dome, fascinated, pawing at the barrier with a rather large paw for such a little man, then promptly fell on his ass when one of the fish swam away quickly and caught him off guard.

Diya smiled down at Vayne as she leaned against her, wrapping her tail around the younger feline. She placed her attention back on her fiancee, ears pricking as her own name was mentioned. Surprise lit up the feline's pale blue eyes as she listened. She took a deep breath, smile on her maw, and nodded. "I would be honored, Roxanne," she would say, avoiding nicknames for the sake of professionalism. Her ears flattened in the news would follow, worry for the four-eyed feline twisting in her gut.
