The crowd gathered quickly as usual - the air wasn't as bad this time around, her lungs still stung, mind still buzzed, but it was easier. Easier to breathe, easier to focus, and listen to the shuffling of her friends and family as they made their seats. As everyone began to settle, quiet down, she would straighten her position, tapping her paw to the seat to indicate she was beginning. First thing's first, as always. "Welcome t' all new and returnin' members! Remember t' get your earrings made n' do your entrance rituals if you'd like." Easy enough.
She debated whether or not to announce this for a moment. Given how much Lovekit seemed to care about it, and how large they seemed to be, she figured it was worth it. She doubted much would come out of the little note, as she had little interest in starting any political relationship with them at the moment, but at least they'd be aware of their existence. "M' son, Lovekit, discovered a group called PalmClan. Pretty big for one o' those lil' groups, but I don' have much opinion on 'em other than they were fine from the single exchange we had, but there's that t' keep in mind." Plus, hopefully it'd make Lovekit feel a little better to hear his name.
Moving on from that, she'd transition to promotions. There were plenty to hand out this time around, given they'd just received two new sages on top of their other positions she'd announce. "Aphra's been 'round a lot which is great, but her attitude's still pure shit, so we'll be holdin' off on any promotions for her!" She twitches her tail tip as she states this, little sympathy in her voice. There's a trace of a mixture of annoyance and amusement in her words. She simply did not believe Aphra deserved any sort of power in her current state of mind, and she knew she wasn't alone on that mentality, given how much others loathed the female even being allowed in the group. "Alia's been around a lot, too, thanks, Alia." Her voice is softer here, referring to the new kitten.
"I'd like t' invite Diya t' the privateer position for bein' so helpful lately." To be honest, as she'd move onto this, she'd almost forgotten she had this in mind. Diya's presence had been a welcome reminder of her plan to promote the other.
"After the sage tryouts, Roan has officially announced Rosemary n' Lawkit's promotions t' the sage position." It was a little nostalgic, announcing Rosemary's name alongside the necro mamba position. She'd remembered when the other was promoted to soothsayer in the first place, when Goldie was still just a child, her papa captain. She hopes that things won't be so stressful for the necro mambas, now that the groups' tensions have been relatively mild, fairly consistently for months now. And extra paws on the team especially helped. She would need to keep an extra eye on Lawkit, though, she didn't want him to become too overwhelmed with the position at such a young age. "We have also accepted t' help our ally, Tanglewood, in their time o' need. They lack medical knowledge at the moment, so their members are visitin' here n' there to learn. Y'all know they've already mostly had free reign, anyways, so treat 'em nice."
The next announcement would be new for the tigress, given the captain has had yet to promote anyone to such a position in her entire time in her rank. She'd gotten close a few times before, but now she was certain this was the right choice, and she was confident that the decision would last. She lets a small smile form on her features, focusing on the little accomplishment in what she was about to announce. "Is' been a long time comin', n' I know she's got a few other things she'll need t' worry 'bout soon 'nough, but I'd like t' invite Roxie t' step up as m' quartermaster." She knows this most likely wouldn't come as a surprise to most of the crew, given how much Roxie has been around, along with how consistently at this point. It only made sense. "Michael is also invited t' step up to share the dealer position wit' Keona."
And with that, there was only one last thing to announce. She allows everyone to have a few moments to react to the previous statements before continuing. And this next thing would hopefully be some nice fun for everyone. "We'll be havin' a lil' prank war wit' Tanglewood, so feel free t' participate by causin' some fun trouble. Make sure not t' do anything that'd actually harm 'em. N' if you're a child wantin' t' join in, jus' make sure you take an adult wit' ya."
"Thas' 'bout it for now, thanks for listenin' as always."
Summary:
- Welcome all new and returning members! We're so glad to have you. Remember to have your character get their charm earring and do their entrance ritual if they choose to.
- PalmClan has been discovered by Lovekit, a rogue group notably larger than others Goldie has seen. She has no plans of holding any political relationships with them at the moment.
- Aphra gets an indirect shout out, and Alia gets an actual one. Thanks to both for being around!
- Lawkit and Rosemary are promoted to sages. Tanglewood will also be visiting here and there to learn medics.
- Diya is promoted to privateer, Roxanne is promoted to quartermaster, and Michael is promoted to dealer. Great job to all!!
- A prank war with Tanglewood is starting up! Feel free to participate!
- Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

NOTHING'S EVER LOST FOREVER, IT'S JUST HIDING IN THE RECESS OF YOUR MIND AND WHEN YOU NEED IT, IT WILL COME TO YOU AT NIGHT. I MISS THE YELLOW. I MISS THE YELLING AND THE SHAKEDOWN. I'M NOT COMPLAINING, NO, I GOT A BETTER SET OF KNIVES NOW. I MISS MY DRUMMER, MY DEAD STEPBROTHER, AND THE PIT CROWD. AND CHUCK AND MATTY - IF THEY COULD SEE ME THEY'D BE SO PROUD.
