[align=center][div style="width:70%; text-align: justify; padding: 1px; font-family: helvetica;"]Oooh, lookie here, another assembly. Thank the stars, now he didn't have to figure out what he was going to do for the rest of the day. Lemy switched courses and approached the rock, his constant, lazy smile plastered on his maw. With a cursory glance to the rest of the attendants, he sprawled out in a spot near the front.
And promptly froze when the first word out of Rin's mouth was his name.
Lemy tilted his head, making sure to keep his posture relaxed as his smile morphed into something more...questioning. For her to start the meeting with his name, well... Even if with was positive, being singled out rubbed him the wrong way. Before, he had been expecting to be welcomed to the group. This was... Lemy's train of thought trailed off as he continued listening.
Oh? How interesting.
"Wowie! I'm being promoted? You really like me thaaaat much?" He squealed, exaggerating his swooning motion. "Yaaay! Then I won't let you down! Oh, and I wanna be an Attorney! I'm not creative enough to be a Legate, so-rry!" Lemy fired off in one breath, beaming up at Rin.
It was a no-brainer. Lemy didn't play well with others; he didn't care about managing community anythings. But trials? The ability to play a part in whether someone is branded as 'guilty' or 'innocent'? That was what he was interested in. If he could make one unlucky bastard as miserable as he was, then Lemy would win. Who gave a shit about justice and righteousness? Lemy would always choose the option that allowed him to come out on top.
And maybe Rin was right, maybe there wouldn't be any trials in the future. Lemy could deal with that. There ought to be other ways to wield the rank he had just been given.
Lemy put aside his thoughts to focus on the rest of the meeting. "Welcome, welcome, everyone! Let's hang out later, okay?" The pale feline cheered, empty blue eyes searching for the individuals called. As for invitations, he didn't really care. According to word-of-mouth, the Pitt got muzzled after losing the beatdown that was rained upon them. Odds were, they probably wouldn't be too thrilled to participate in an event hosted by a group that aided in their subjugation. Which meant that it could prove hilarious if they did show up.
"I could invite Tanglewood! Do ya want the invitations sent out right now or when we got the stuff set up?" After all, Tanglewood was the only group he actually knew how to get to. "And oh! Yeah, we should invite the Pitt!" Lemy called out, raising a paw in the air, "and if we're not sure, we could just post guards 'round them or somethin'. Everyone deserves to have some fun, don'tcha think?"
Lemy settled down once more, nodding along with each of Rin's points. Cards Against Humanity sounded fun, but he was already tied down to the food stall. C'est la vie, he supposed.
Any playful feelings he might have held sunk at the mention of the strange happenings. He wondered what could have caused it. Something unnatural he bet. He kept an interested smile on his face in order to keep the sneer that was threatening to form from showing.
