[font=trebuchet ms]The howl of the conch came as no surprise- it was meeting day, after all. Leaving his bag under a plank to hide it, Paper made his way over to the Deep Sea Dome. He was curious as to what would be announced this time around, barring the Ascendants raid and something about Snowbound (he’d heard something about supplies).
As he took a seat and watched Pincher sit on the throne, he couldn’t help but pull a double-take at the captain’s glitter-covered pelt and lethargic behavior. Had Pinch gotten drunk again? At least he hadn’t tried to rope the others into a boy band this time around. At Pinch’s “hewwo,” though, Paper recoiled. He could practically feel his soul leaving his body, as the world fell apart around them. Even knocking into the tree in view of Roxanne couldn’t compare to this.
He was only called back to reality by the sound of his name, followed by a long list of others. Raising a brow, he nodded in spite of his confusion. None of the other names were stepping forward, so it wasn’t a promotion, but several of them didn’t have positions either, so it wasn’t a demotion. Unless they were being asked to do something that he had missed, that was the weekly shout-outs.
Congratulations. You’ve been officially shout-out-zoned, Rubydelusions echoed in the back of his mind, eliciting narrowed eyes from the jackal. He didn’t think the spirit would be able to speak to him without the ruby being on his person, but he supposed the deal had eliminated that little barrier.
”Shout-out-zoned” isn’t even a thing, he silently shot back to the spirit. This means I’m almost there, just gotta work a little harder. He wasn’t the most patient of individuals, but he also wasn’t about to take a good sign as bad luck. He was well on his way, he just needed to give it a last push.
After the promotions were announced, especially those of Captainpaw and Fischer, he nodded. ”Congrats to all of you,” he said, twitching his good ear. Then came events- and clarification on Snowbound. They were on a ceasefire, then; good to know.
Once that was done with, Paper watched Pinch leave before he got up. He wasn’t about to have another incident like the one after Bonnie’s death; if the Captain fell over and injured himself in his hung-over stupor, he’d be ready to help.
