wield power of your own making -- assembly 11/10

[Warringkingdoms]

  If she wanted to keep things running smoothly, Rin would need to check in on the members often. Nothing would threaten a clan's livelihood quite like the perception that nothing went on within its borders. As dangerous as it was just for her to hold power, it would be even more dangerous if the other groups got the impression that Elysium was weak.

  Climbing up onto the tall rock from which she'd called the previous assembly, Rin glanced around. The place seemed a little livelier, but that didn't make this any easier. It would always feel wrong, she suspected, for her to demonstrate any sort of authority- so she'd just have to get past it. "Gather for another assembly," she called, tugging at her scarf.

  After waiting a few minutes for other creatures to arrive and take their seats, Rin nodded. "I'll begin by giving my thanks to everyone who fought at the Pitt raid," she said. "I will be holding checkups over the next week, to ensure all of you are healing properly from any injuries you sustained." She made a mental note to check in on Tanglewood to see how their medic was doing, after Roman had turned traitor and attacked him... if she'd just been stronger, she could have killed Roman right then and there, but it hadn't turned out that way.

  Glancing around, she continued, "Once we've recovered, and made sure that the Pitt is safely under control, we'll start discussing events for the next few months. I think a market festival of sorts, where we can each sell our wares, would be a good place to start- but we can talk over it as a group over the coming weeks." Maybe she'd set up a cartographer's shop- recording information did come naturally to her.

  After thinking for a few moments, Rin nodded. "I'd like to extend an official welcome to Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, White, Wings, Rock, Videogames, and Lemy." Having rattled off that list of names, she twitched her ears. "As well as both a welcome and a shout-out to Winterwish. Keep it up." Odd as the kitsune had seemed at first, she had made a strong first impression. Perhaps Elysium could use a specific title for such initial impressions, or even a new stepping-stone rank- but before any of that, oaths had to be sworn.

  Clearing her throat, Rin added, "Speaking of Winterwish, she's hosting a scavenger hunt, for anyone who wants to participate. Which brings me to my next point." She glanced up towards the sky. "I'll also be hosting a public discussion sometime this week- we have a couple different things to talk about, specifically apprenticeships, biweekly tasks, and any other ideas you have." The assemblies had probably been originally meant to involve public discussion, but since there were potentially new joiners to swear in, there never seemed to be time.

  Stepping back, Rin nodded. "Anyone wishing to be sworn in, please step forward. Anyone with comments, feel free to speak up."
