[font=trebuchet ms]Watching Play approach, Rin furrowed her brows. The information shared at the meeting could easily have been communicated to Play without her dragging herself all the way out here, even if Rin knew full well she would've done the same thing in her situation (ignoring that of course she, as the Magna, couldn't not show up to a meeting). She'd worry about lecturing Play later, though.
...or, since Play had mentioned going to Tanglewood, she'd just do it now. "Not unless you've recovered by the time we send out the invitations," Rin answered, twitching her ears. "I appreciate the offer, but I don't want you aggravating your injuries." Maybe if her schedule slipped, and she wasn't able to send out the invitations right away, by the time they got around to it Play would be doing well enough to assist. Rin wasn't betting on it, though. Regarding Play's suggestion of a private discussion, Rin sighed and said, "I'll talk to you later, yes." Whatever it was was probably important, but she'd have to figure out how to keep Play from wandering around in her injured state.
Turning over to Clony and 2D as they approached, Rin tugged at her scarf. "Swear song," Clony had said- Rin suspected the "swear" they referred to was not the same kind of swear she was talking about. "It's... not that," she answered. "It's an oath, not a song. And I'll tell you about it at the end of the meeting- all you have to say is yes or no."
As Roman approached, asking if he needed to swear in, Rin set her jaw and glanced down at the floor. Would it be a good idea to let him take the oath, when she was so uncertain of whether or not he could be trusted? On one hand, if he swore the oath, she could hold him to it- and refusing to let him might inspire resentment, which could lead him to betray them. On the other hand, she'd just declared him on probation, and it'd set a precedent if she then turned around and let him swear in as a full member. "...Wait until next meeting, at least," she said finally, lifting her head to meet his eyes. "I'll think about it."
Felicity was the next to come over, offering Videogames and herself to take the invitation to the Typhoon. "Yes, that would be great," Rin said, turning to look at them. The two of them wouldn't get into any trouble, she was reasonably sure.
Looking over at 2D and Clony once more, she cleared her throat. "2D, Clony- the oath is as follows," she began. "Do you promise to protect this community with all of your strength; to trust your fellow members enough to ask for help when necessary; and most importantly, to uphold the values of community and justice, and always serve the greater good without giving too much of yourself?"
