SAW IT ON JIMMY FALLON ☆ o, MEETING 09/14

[RHINESTONE.]

LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

Rhinestone watched with interested as several more faces began to gather, all getting comfortable as they waited to see what he had to say next. He nodded to them, a soft pleased hum leaving him before he spoke, "In other news, several other interesting events regarding clan relations have happened. For one thing, we got a visit from Alithís Evgenis recently. Their leader, Bai Shi, came to discuss politics, and invitations. In addition to this, Goldenluxury, the leader of The Typhoon, another large group, came to get her son back. We were happy to have Lovekit with us for a time, but I'm glad that his family is being reunited. Be sure to give him a kind send-off." It was sad to see Lo go, but he knew they'd be alright. Besides, it wasn't as if the other couldn't come to visit when he was a bit older. With that in mind, Rhine added on, an amused little smile curling at his muzzle, "And in less serious news, Foamkit made berry cakes for everyone, so be sure to get your share." That wasn't overwhelmingly important, but they had gone over plenty of important things, so what was a little fun?

Glancing over several faces that Rhine knew had originally come from the boardwalk group, Rhinestone launched into his next subject, "With the merger having been successful, I believe that we all have some celebrating to do. Therefore, we'll soon be having a bonfire celebration that everyone is free to attend, with plenty of food, and games. It will also involve a small ceremony, giving those that came from the boardwalk their seashell necklaces, to mark them as true members of Palmclan. So, be sure to get excited for that, and feel free to offer any help with setting it all up, if you're the party planning type." He planned on doing it all on his own, but he hardly would've minded some help. Especially with the food part, since the tom was still embarrassingly new to the whole cooking food thing, rather than just eating it all raw. The thought made his face grow hot beneath his fur in embarrassment, and he was silently glad that nobody would be able to tell, thanks to his already red coloration.

The leader then shifted, glancing down at his paws sheepishly as he thought of how to say the next part. It was a relatively simple statement, but it was also one that was extremely heartfelt, and he didn't want to embarrass himself in the middle of a meeting. After taking a deep breath, he purred thankfully, "And finally... I'd just like to thank everyone for working so hard. We've been doing amazingly well lately, even with all that we've faced, and that is impossible to miss. I can't think of a single day where the camp hasn't been bustling with activity, and that... that's honestly wonderful. Palmclan truly did bounce back after the hurricane, and I'm grateful to all of you for your wonderful contributions, in all ways. I suppose, ultimately what I'm saying is... I love you all, and I hope that we can continue to make this clan prosper, all together." Maybe that was a little too sappy, but Rhine found that he didn't care too much. The group deserved a genuine thanks, and he was going to give it too them, regardless of how ridiculous he sounded. With his thanks done, the feline dipped his head before stating, "Now then... this meeting is dismissed." Although things were busy, they were also going smoothly for the most part, which was definitely a good thing.

tl;dr and special thanks:

☆ Palmclan has officially merged with the boardwalk group, taking in their members and adding the boardwalk as a whole as part of our territory.
☆ Welcome to Medusa, Quasar, Toadwhisker, and Vass, as well as anyone else who was accidentally looked over.
☆ Waverunner is now an official s/hp stepping stone rank, and may be earned by anyone, regardless of age. There is also a new title, admirable apprentice. This title is for waverunners who have continued to prove themselves active and helpful, but aren't yet old enough to be senior warriors.
☆ Shoutouts to Foamkit and Sugarspice for their activity. Featherear was given an activity warning.
☆ Threads to check out ; Alithís Evgenis visit, Goldenluxury coming for Lovekit, and Foamkit sharing berry cakes.
☆ There will be a special bonfire / feast event in order to celebrate the merger, and it will also feature a ceremony of those from the boardwalk getting their seashell necklaces, so keep an eye out!
☆ And finally, an ENORMOUS thank you to everyone who has joined Palmclan, or is already a member! Our activity is AMAZING, and we're officially at 221 posts as of this meeting post! This means we're only 29 posts away from bronze status, which is incredible! Again, thank you all so much! <3
