Let's Start A Riot! [Raid meeting]
He waited for the arrivals, and soon enough a few of them came. Faine was among the first, "Hi Faine, good to see you." He responded. Soon after, Ankaios and, to his surprise, Gryphon, had shown up next. His brother had missed the last meeting, so he wasn't sure if his brother knew what this meeting would be about. Though he also wasn't sure if his brother would speak against it once he found out, but regardless, it would happen. They needed supplies, especially after this summer since the plants were drying up and come next season, it would be even harder. Today they would decide what they would raid for and who the target would be. He had sent out Armai and Sterling, the alpha himself tailing Armai to her destination and Kharnage had tailed Sterling, though Sterling seemed to have better luck in terms of confrontation. Armai on the other hand, had been threatened...and that didn't sit well with him. She had stumbled across the border line, though her scent was free of Talis' and his long before she got there. But the fact that a yearling had threatened a blind healer and an older wolf was disgusting. He didn't think he'd be sending her on a mission like that again unless she wanted to, and if she had gotten hurt he would have kicked himself for it. She was too sweet, too kind, too innocent. And...wait, what was he thinking? He took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts as others showed.
Steel and his wife and daughter showed, and Dragon noticed how uneasy Steel and Esarosa looked. He felt kind of bad, but then again it's not like he was going to force them to go. He would have to try and talk to them at some point. It had been a while since he talked to Esarosa, and he wasn't sure if he ever really talked to Steel...man that was a bummer. He liked his pack members, and lack of communication among them was no good. Ramsay showed up and Dragon nodded to him as the other male went to sit down. When he thought that was all that would show, everyone else flooded in. The rest of his family. Greed, Armai, Sterling, and Fern. He was glad to see that she too had made it, but now that everyone was present and accounted for he figured it was time to start.
"Thanks for coming, everyone. Now as most of you know, we discussed a possible raid in the last meeting. So I'm sure you know what this meeting is about." He flicked his tail, green eyes looking over the gathered pack. He was determined to do this, and he hoped some of them would be too. After all, why should they just sit here and do the same thing day in and day out? He didn't think that was really a way to live. Life needed a bit more excitement, and to those who thought otherwise could sit around and do the same things everyday. "I'm sure some of you have noticed the lack of medicine we've had over the course of the season with the drought, and I find the lack of accessible water disturbing. I have found a few places, but some are hazardous or hard to get to considering every other creature is out there trying to get the same precious resource. On top of that, with the coming Spring season in Boreas, meaning our season will get potentially colder and harder, we need to stock up on herbs. Now some of the healers have been having a hard time finding much of anything that isn't already dead, dying, or unusable. And what has been found is very little..." His gaze turned to Arke who held the wilted plants, hoping his point was getting across. "If we don't have medicine, then we'll be in trouble in the coming season." He took a deep breath, mind sorting out the things he wanted to discuss and bring it to a vote or something.
"In the last meeting, I sent out scouts to check out some of the packs in Boreas. Armai and I ended up checking out one in the west, while Kharnage and Sterling went to check out another. I'd like to point out that there is at least one hostile pack, or I assume so." His gaze found Armai, his ears flicking in agitation at the thought. If that kid had hurt her, he would have been obligated to hurt him right back to defend Armai. "One of them threatened her. A blind healer. Now I'm not fond of trespassers, but even I wouldn't go that low." He huffed a bit. "I don't know who it was, but I don't particularly care at the moment. I didn't get close enough to get a scent, but whoever it was is a potential threat. Asides from that, however, it appeared that their lands might hold some valuable medicinal resources. Armai scented them on this male's pelt, so there's no doubt they have something we could use." He had no doubt about that. He wished though, that the garden next door hadn't dried up. That was a prime place for the healers as well as the plains, but with the drought and fires, well...he wasn't sure what else to do.
He waited a moment before continuing, his gaze turning over to Armai then. "Armai, if you have anything to add, please go ahead." He allowed time for her to speak if she so chose, and after his attention would turn to Sterling and Kharnage. "How did your mission go? What information do you have for us?" He waited eagerly for them (Sterling mostly) to tell them their findings, afterwards, he wanted to try and get a pack vote on where to go. "We're going to vote on where to go, but if anyone knows a better option of where to go, please let me know. There wasn't enough volunteers to scout anywhere else, and the only other pack I know of is Abaven, who my mother knows, and Crew...but they might be too far East for us." He tried to think of any other packs, but couldn't think of any others. He had met one wolf from Crew, his mother knew about Abaven, and then the two that had just been scouted. He waited for the others to speak, so that they could come to a decision on where to go, who would go, what they were going for (though the obvious idea was to go for herbs), and anything else.
OOC//Sorry if this post seems scattered/rushed, i'm tired lol. I would prefer Armai & Sterling to post first, then after that everyone else can post with no posting order. I expect 2nd round replies to be done by July 3rd! Mandatory as well. If you need an extension because of July 4th coming up then let me know and we'll try to work something out. PM or Skype me too if you're unable to participate. I'd like to get this rolling asap, mostly because this stuff takes a while and I don't want things dragging out too long. Those who will be participating can just confirm with their char saying something like "I'm in" or w/e. Participants will also get the opportunity to rank up as well! |
Dragon never goes anywhere without his Dragon armor, assume he is always wearing it unless otherwise mentioned! He also has a pair of seeing eye jaguars, assume they're always present unless otherwise mentioned.
