HOPE IS A DANGEROUS THING // MEETING [02/01] - EDMUND. - 02-01-2020

❝ Meeting. ❞ Eddie announced as he wandered into the lounge area, arms folded across his arms sternly. And, as he waited by the fireplace, he was evidently contemplative as he stood around. This week’s meeting would be an interesting one, especially after all that had been happening as of recently.

Re: HOPE IS A DANGEROUS THING // MEETING [02/01] - body. - 02-01-2020

[align=center][div style="width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;"]This week’s recent events have been stressful, even for a newcomer like him. He hasn’t been here for very long, but Elwin feels as if he’s already been caught in Flintlock’s web. Part of him has been wondering if he should stick around for much longer, just in case shit really hits the fan. He’s got nowhere to go, however, and he’s already committed himself to a job here… wouldn’t it be rude if he just up and left?

He hasn’t gotten around to fixing his wrist. Part of it is just to punish himself for recent events, and part of it is solely due to the fact that he’s too lazy to even bother. He lets his arm dangle loosely at his side, rendering it useless until it heals on its own or he makes any attempt to quicken the process.

His stomach twists when Edmund enters the room. He’s barely known the guy for more than a week, but already he feels some strange need to impress him. Maybe it’s the fatherly vibes he gives off, or just the fact that Edmund and Elwin’s grandfather share a name … either way, he sits up a little straighter and smooths out his wrinkled shirt upon seeing him. He doesn’t have anything to say, just crosses his arms over his chest and waits for the room to fill up so the announcements may commence.

granted, anyone would find the sudden change in events unnerving. however, freddie liked to think that it was the type of man who welcomed that unnerving feeling was far superior compared to those who shied away from it. with all these newcomers, freddie had been having a great time - even after elwin managed to basically cock block him at first. he'd taken the bad situation and made it work in his favor, just as anyone should do. his eyes wandered towards elwin, lips twitching into such an innocently sweet, small smile before slowly looking back over towards eddie. he'd love to hear what the man had to say about this change, all the events that had unfolded after it. he'd love to see how the "top guy" reacted. was he someone who welcomed the unsettling?

or was he a coward like the rest of them?

Ed shifted from side to side, a mildly contemplative look settling upon his features as his gaze dazed off to one side. He had more than enough to bring up for today’s meeting, yet wished to keep the meeting somewhat short; he had been a busy man as of recently, finding himself lingering within his office for a lot longer than he once did. With arms folded across his chest, Ed finally glanced around towards those sat around before he stated quietly, ❝ Hopefully today’s meeting won’t take too much of our time- ❞

❝ First of all, I’d like to welcome Malachi to Flintlock, as well as welcome Mary back. Don’t forget to sign up for a rank in order to earn your keep around here; it’s pretty important. ❞ Eddie tipped his head towards the newcomers in acknowledgement. ❝ So, as you all know, we’ve recently had a small group from the prairie seek refuge here in the canteen... ❞ Brows bunched together slightly, Ed lowering his gaze to think about to go by his next words. ❝ I just want to… let you all know that- ❞

He was grateful.

He blinked in thought; it wasn’t easy, the things that he had asked the Flintlockers to do in order to provide for the troubled group. In fact, he could acknowledge that some things which had happened would’ve been traumatising to people. ❝ you all did a good job. ❞ He decided to settle on the praise matter-of-factly. ❝ People like you give people like them hope. ❞ He twitched his nose, looking away in thought. ❝ And, whilst we’re talking about all of you, I think it’s only fair to point out that I’ve noticed activity around these parts have been pretty impressive recently, not only with work around the group but also with conversation within the community as a whole. So, well done everyone. ❞

❝ Anyway, in regards to the issue within the prairie, a couple of Arbiters went to visit Bluestem Prairie in order to act as a mediator, but unfortunately it seems that Van Den Bergh is not interested in diplomacy. So, until further notice, Bluestem Prairie will no longer be considered allies and instead we shall view them as neutrals. I don’t want to throw ourselves into the firing line, but at the same time I know that if we don’t try to settle tensions then there will be one hell of a lot more casualties to come. ❞

Eddie frowned carefully. Contemplatively. And then, he brought up, ❝ I would like for people to visit the other groups in the next two weeks; I’d like for them to be aware of what is happening in Bluestem so that groups can work together to diffuse the issue at hand. Would anybody be willing to visit a group? ❞ He paused, eyes scanning across the room for any offers before he moved along.

❝ Lastly, I just want to quickly point out that on Monday I will be putting up new rank-related tasks, but with a twist. It’ll be a list of morale boosting events and ideas for around the Lodge. I understand that the winter can be exhausting and straining on us all, so I hope that this will help lift people’s spirits. ❞ Eddie was silent for a moment, searching between everyone, before he said, ❝ Any questions? ❞

[align=center][div style="width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt;"]The look Freddie shoots him is agitating. Elwin knows he’s pissed, having foiled the poor man’s evil plans the other day. That’s fine, he can be petty all he wants—nothing will compare to the anger and outrage he feels, having been left to his own devices all while Freddie attempted to take advantage of some poor, vulnerable woman. He makes a mental note to find that little girl at some point and thank her for her hard work. There’s still blood dried under his fingernails.

In plain view of everyone else, Elwin looks Freddie dead in the face, and draws a finger across his throat to let him know that he is in for it. Slimy bastard.

“... I’ll go and visit one,” he offers, awkwardly raising a hand. He doesn’t know why he offered himself up like that. Maybe it was the subconscious need to impress Edmund, or the fact that he needed a distraction from Freddie’s stupid, smug face or his throbbing wrist. “What—what would that entail?”
