[font=trebuchet ms]Rin woke up that morning with a strange weight on her head.
It wasn't heavy, but it was noticeable nonetheless, considering she had never been in the habit of wearing anything on her head. She could be sure it wasn't her scarf, which was coiled around her neck as usual. Lifting a paw to feel the foreign object, she furrowed her brows- it felt like cardboard, with a ribbon-like tassel hanging loosely.
As the aftereffects of sleep wore off, she realized she could feel a loose cord clinging to the underside of her chin. With a sigh, she cautiously descended from her hastily-patched-together bed and walked over to the bathroom mirror. Perhaps she'd sleepwalked and put this object on herself, or perhaps someone else had pranked her.
Climbing up onto the sink, she stared into the mirror. A party hat, with white-and-red stripes, sat on her head.
Heaving an even longer sigh, she shook her head and jumped down from the sink, then headed outside. Maybe it would provide amusement to some of the Elysites, seeing their Magna wearing a party hat. Stopping at the edge of the docks, she looked out at the rest of the town. "Assembly time," she called out, flicking her tail.
Once a sizeable crowd had gathered, Rin began, "I'd like to welcome Limbotrials, Atbash, Siborno, Aurum, and Roy to Elysium." She still had yet to figure out why Aurum was no longer in Tanglewood, but that could be done later. At least they had some new faces around here, if not as many as there might have been in months previous.
Lowering her head slightly, she continued, "2D has disappeared, so he no longer holds the Decurion position. I also asked Cooper to step up as Magna while I was recovering; in any case, I'm back now. I want to thank him for his help." She got the heavy, sinking sense that Cooper had disappeared as well, seeing as how she hadn't seen him in weeks, but... maybe she'd turn out to be wrong. Maybe he'd just been resting.
Shaking her head, she looked back up, regaining a neutral expression. "I do have some good news. Clony- you've been an active, helpful member of Elysium, and you've fought well against the gods. I wanted to offer you the position of Legate; you're free to turn it down, but I think you would do well." Clony may have been oddly fascinated by lasers and other destructive pursuits, but she couldn't deny the immense help they'd been in keeping things... interesting. Besides, they'd consistently been there to greet joiners well before she ever got there.
"I've been interested in exploring the caves that were opened up a few months back- it's been some time since the meteor strike, so the odds of future aftershocks are slim at this point." Looking around, Rin narrowed her eye. "I'll be leading an organized expedition down there. I don't want anyone going alone." Truthfully, going into deep, uncharted caves was not her idea of a good time in the slightest, but the possibility that there was a large system of caverns underneath the territory, that could collapse at any time and take the surface with it... and that was ignoring anything else that could be lurking down there, waiting to start a small-scale apocalypse. They had to be sure that there weren't any hidden threats down there, or the entire territory could be in danger.
She'd have to practice her teleportation first, so she could at least take the others and make a quick escape if anything went wrong.
Pushing those thoughts to the back of her mind, Rin added, "I also want a combat training held. If someone else wants to hold it, great- if not, I'll host it myself." The next god could attack at any time, so they had to be ready for that too. Threat management, draining as it was, was vital to keeping everyone alive.
"...That's pretty much it. If anyone wants to swear in, step forward."
