I'M CRUCIFIED | MEETING 5/26

[daniel]

He jumped at the voice initially, exhaling sharply to calm his nerves. Danny tried to offer a smile in return, nodding half heartedly. "Good, yeah..." At least he was loud. He felt like passing out, colors before him much too bright and the sounds banging at his ear drums making him feel like he would break out into a cold sweat, if he hadn't already. He cleared his throat beforehand, concerned his voice would break or he would totally lose consciousness. He bit at his own tongue, chewing on it until it stung, which was a terrible idea. It just made things that much more stressful, and Danny rubbed at his face with a paw. The more people that showed up, the more nervous he felt, until he was quite visibly shaking, looking around and and feeling a headache pound away at the front of his skull.

He couldn't help but lightly lean up against Vayne when he felt her presence at his side, aiming to wrap an arm around her shoulders and put his chin on top of her head. A further gesture of him needing comfort. The only thing worse than this situation was her sort of understanding a lot of things right now, being in the same boat so to speak. No pun intended. "Are you gonna be okay?" He asked, real quiet like, tail thunking against the floor beneath. He'd hate to let her slip and fall into the emotional void.

Right, the actual meeting. He wanted to groan.

"I'm s-sorry for this, it's p-probably, um, really con...[i]confusing, but-" Danny started, praying for the chance to be able to spit out a single coherent sentence. Gods help him. No, no he could do this. He squared his shoulders, forcing his ears straight and not pressed against his skull. They needed him, what was left after the chaos and absolute destruction left behind. "Important people are gone, we have a problem on our, uh, out hands here. I'm not exactly qualified to do this by any means, but I n-need you to work with me...with Roxanne gone, I...I'm stepping into the position of Captain." Would that be taken well? Would be be demanded to turn tail and run, or that he was not fit? He had heard of Goldenluxury taking the reigns when she was young, but she was a good Captain in her day. Could he ever hope to do the same?

"We need to hold ourselves together, mend v-vulnerability. I...we need a replacement for Soothsayer, that's our priority now. Or at least someone just to h-help." He took a deep breath, gritting his teeth together, feeling his composure solidify itself. Somewhat. "Vayne will replace our missing Dealers...if she wants to. I th-think she's earned it. Any other questions? Oh! Oh, make sure to say h-hi to the new or returning faces....we have a lot."

SUMMARY:
- [member=16148]VAYNE C.F.M.V..[/member] can step up as Dealer
