ON MY GARBAGE TRUCK ☆ MEETING 08/30

[RHINESTONE.]

Rhinestone watched as several more familiar faces gathered around, including those that had been welcomed and shouted out, as well as Sugarspice. He found himself smiling faintly when she thanked him, dipping his head respectfully to her before he continued, "Now, I should probably mention some things going on within the group right now. First of all, we've got food sorting going on, for all those that are interested in helping. Just so that we no longer have to deal with the seagulls trying to grab our prey. In addition to this, we've also got a disaster awareness course going on, so that we can be more prepared in a future emergency." Rhine felt a faint smile quirk at the edge of his muzzle as he moved on, his pale gaze seeking out Foamkit among the crowd before he continued, "Our very own Foamkit has decided to host a meeting of his own, so I'm sure that he has plenty of important info for all of you as well." He knew it was a bit silly, giving the kit's babbling meeting a shout out, but he had found it adorable, and he saw no reason not to let the child have some fun. It wasn't as if he was blurting out clan secrets – after all, he could barely talk.

Shifting a little atop the stone platform, Rhine's expression changed from one of calm amusement, to faint anxiety. He hadn't wanted to bring it up, but the pests had been becoming more and more common as of late, and the clan deserved a warning. As a result of this, he stated firmly, "I know a few weeks ago, when I held our last meeting, I asked everyone to pair up for patrols, so that they would be safe in case of an emergency, such as another fox attack. Everyone has been doing well, and I would've liked to say that we could go back to varying patrol sizes, but I'm afraid we have a new problem on our hands. More and more rats have been spotted around the territory, and whole they're usually just pests, I don't want anyone getting overwhelmed. So please, continue to take a partner if you must leave camp." With that out of the way, it was time to end the meeting with something more positive. Something that would, hopefully, bring everyone together. Clearing his throat, he searched the crowd for the carnotaurus before speaking, "Nameless carnotaurus... please step forward. You are the second nameless one who has come to us in recent memory, and once again, it doesn't seem proper for a warrior of Palmclan not to have a name. So, with the blessing of Starclan, I present you with your name. From this day forth, you shall be known as Palejaw." He could only hope that Palejaw would appreciate his new name, considering Rhine had spent hours milling over what would serve the dinosaur best.

With his tail twitching anxiously behind him – and feeling surprisingly tired from all he had just shared – the leader finally dipped his head, "That should be all, for now. Unless anyone has any questions, thank you all, meeting dismissed." He then let himself relax, a soft sigh leaving him as he sat back. He'd stay on the rock for now, just to make sure there weren't any questions.

tl;dr:

> vixenvenom has gone missing, and is no longer a senior warrior. penumbrarunner is believed to have drowned at sea, and haystripe's body has recently been found, so a vigil will be held for all of them
> many people have joined! welcome to sugarspice, foamkit, ottermouth, palejaw, hauntingdreams, and weepingkit
> a shoutout to featherear for her activity, and sugarspice has been promoted to senior warrior
> activity has been amazing! as of this post, we are at 146 posts of the 250 needed for bronze status, and have nearly tripled our post count since last meeting! everyone keep it up!
> a few threads to check out ; food sorting, disaster awareness course, and foamkit calling a meeting
> in honor of us reaching over 125 posts, palmclan is going to have a clanwide plot that ultimately ends with them taking the boardwalk as part of the territory! rhinestone warning of rats is a teaser for this plot, so keep your eyes peeled for more in the future very soon ;^)
> palejaw has officially been presented with his warrior name, congratulations!
