turn and face the strange [Borealis meeting!]

ooc. no posting order.

The first to arrive was Kait... who assumed the worst. He would rest his head atop of hers, licking it a few times in comfort first. Her question, oh, it broke his heart. "Hold on, little sister," he would sigh softly, avoiding the question. He would explain... when everyone arrived, as much as he didn't want to. Akemi - he recognized the scarred woman - appeared, and he would dip his head silently. Nixie would arrive after that, and he'd wince again, ever so slightly. "Hold up, little Nixie." Finally, Ravine would show up. Akemi's mate. And Holly, too.

"You are perhaps wondering why I called you. Some of you may have guessed already. Mother - Marina - has..." he paused, eyes closing briefly. "I saw her a couple of days ago. Something within her snapped. It was mental, purely mental; she did not recognize me... and ran off. I don't knwo when she'll be back. I don't know if she will be. As a result, I've stepped up as alpha. I cannot say I'm fully trained. I cannot say I understand precisely, well, what I'm doing but I hope I don't mess up to badly. I would like all of you to stay - you are all that's left of Borealis. I need you. Borealis needs you. I have changed ranks, and customs, and will be having all of you choose a rank, and I will try my best to get you trained. I will also be holding an open recruitment, in an attempt to get more members. Do you stand with me?" Hopefully, they would.

Due date Jan 29
