[glow=#000,2,300]☣ —[/glow] This meeting, they were going to run things differently. Since their last meeting had been rather lackluster, resulting in cancellation, Stryker was going to switch things up. Instead of waiting for others, he would proceed to start as soon as the first person showed up. After all, the news would eventually travel through the grapevine. There was no time to waste either, especially with Sunhaven breathing down their necks. "Pittians, gather." His voice was shrill and demanding as it spread throughout the jungle. "We've got some chatting to do..." Considering that their last meeting- well, they knew already. With their absurd amount of joiners and their missed news, the ardent was going to have to say quite a lot this time. Nothing wrong with that.

The first arrived, thus the meeting began. "Let's start with an update," he began. "Last meeting was not the best, hence I'm going to review the topics I was supposed to go over." And he didn't bother forgetting one part of it. "Since the Typhoon raided us, they are- or rather were- a primary target as expected. Not only this, but Sunhaven's own have decided to join their battle and attack us also." They were getting their asses kicked for that currently and would be for awhile. That did include their classic bird-shit raid. "Thus, we've begin the process of firing back." It did start with trying to control Buckingham, their newest leader, and using him as a weapon for his own good, but it soon evolved into something more. Captures started to come in from Sunhaven more often. "We have managed to take ahold of Fairylights and Wendell temporarily, then releasing them promptly after a few Sunhaven nerves were hit." Wendell specifically had a message nailed to him for all to see, along with the fact that the wolverine could no longer speak. "The Sunhaven raid, in their eyes, was 'successful'." There had been a few other captures, but Stryker felt personally connected with these two because they were tied to his own story. "The Rosebloods also temporarily took ahold of Ninazu, so we will be taking action against that soon enough."

"During that scuttle, we did have a few joiners." The more towards their cause, the better. Stryker was pleased. Hopefully, no one was forgotten. "Please welcome [member=3083]briar[/member] , [member=3095]CARMEN[/member] , [member=3015]LUCKY[/member] , [member=2965]NOSFERATU[/member] , [member=3014]kilgore[/member] , [member=3077]RHIANNON[/member] , and @ronan h. !" All of which seemed like lovely Pittians, despite some questionable smells from Ronan and questionable attitudes. Their company was very welcomed. The ardent was surely going to treat them well, as should the rest of the Pitt... or else. "Also, a lovely welcome back to the fantastic [member=2048]COSETTE[/member] . If she remains active, she may reclaim her position as a medic."  That was an update for next week though.

The next news was not as upbeat as the last. "Our founder, Yes Man, has also died by the hands of the Typhoon. His funeral will be held promptly." (This thread will happen after a private thread with Cosette where Stryker updates her on her brother's situation. This is also assuming that this meeting is after that knowledge is gained.) "I am deeply pained by it, as are others that were here during his reign." The former leader had welcomed him with open arms and saw his potential, leading him on a more optimistic path in life. Strangely, the male saw him as a mentor. His minor involvement changed him. "Unlike a normal funeral, we will be hosting a celebration of his life. His unrelentless smug smile would want us to smile at his death, rather than frown." He hoped Cosette would be smiling, despite her loss. Stryker would be struggling too. Together they would try though.

A neon gaze scanned the audience, noting that most had decided to show up. "I better not hear any complaints before I continue."
