THIS IS MY WORLD \\ MEETING [01/18]

[EDMUND.]

    It was time for another meeting. As always, Edmund stood in the front of the living room, body warmed by the nearby fireplace as it popped quietly to itself. He held his hands in front of himself, features unreadable and dull as he was still, apart from shifting eyes that observed every crevice and corner of the room. The room seemed relatively quiet for the most part, apart from the mumbling singing coming from where Tommy lounged back on an armchair, head tipped back and eyes closed as he then began to hum the tune of the familiar earworm he'd been singing to himself all week.

— another week, another meeting. freddie didn't want to admit that he was coming to like the routine of it all. it was hard to even call it a part of the routine; something seemed different every time he wandered into the living room. tommy lounging in a chair, humming that tune of his... that was something fred could've done without. he appeared unfazed nonetheless, patting his hand on the man's shoulder as he strolled past and made himself comfortable on the sofa. he brought his foot up to rest it on his knee, one hand resting near the ankle. the other hand propped him up as he leaned against the arm of the couch, watching edmund with raised brows and expectant eyes. surely, he had something more newsworthy than tom's absent song.

[DAMIEN.]

[align=center][div style="0px; width:450px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]Meeting time! As Damien popped into the living room, he found his usual spot (against a wall) and looked around the area. There hadn't been too much chaos happening this week, just those... those guys who'd showed up at the border, he supposed. But those didn't really matter much, when Damien thought about it. Tapping his finger against his arm, Damien kept quiet (for once) as he waited for the meeting to begin.

[EDMUND.]

Eddie's gaze lowered to look at the ground as people began to enter the lounge area, little sound apart from the quiet uttered words of the song Tommy sang to himself. Eventually, he grew quiet, having reached the end of whatever lyrics he could remember, instead tipping his head against the back of the armchair he sat on, pursed lips. ❝ Good timing- ❞ ❝ Thank you. ❞ ❝ All right, so, um- ❞ Ed raised his head to glance at those in the lounge, lips parted in silence momentarily before he began to speak.

❝ First of all, welcome to Flintlock, Joker and Elwin. You probably know this already but if you have any questions or need help then I'm happy to help. ❞ His gaze shifted over to see as Alfie arrived late, making some grand entrance by flopping onto one of the sofas with a loud grunt. Eddie blinked, watching his brother for a second, before looking away and continuing.

❝ Los Santos has invited us to their... place of residence to spend the day playing board games. Also, the Badlands invited us to visit them and take place in a sparring event. I would like to see you all join in as we need to keep good relations with our allies. In addition, Brendan has offered to host a sparring event at home here, which I expect everyone to try and attend if they can. ❞ After all, the more people learned in combat, the more guarded this group would be.

He cleared his throat, shifting on the spot, before moving on, ❝ We currently have some new arrivals seeking refuge here, as you know. Bluestem Prairie have been... behaving erratically as of recently and have done things to hurt and harm these people. Currently, they are seeking shelter in the village, but I would like you all to treat them as one of our own until they gather enough strength and resources to be on their way again. ❞ He paused momentarily, evidently deep in thought, before he continued, ❝ I need people to accompany me to Bluestem. I'd like for us to have a discussion with them immediately because I don't want them to think they can do... shit like this. It's unacceptable. ❞

❝ Lastly... It's been around a month since I stepped up as leader and, during this time, I've been working on making changes to this place. I have this- ❞ He leaned forwards to pick up a sheet of paper on the coffee table, holding it up for those to see. ❝ New rules. I'm going to be putting this up on the wall right here in the lounge. Read carefully because I expect all rules to be followed with no exceptions whatsoever. ❞ ❝ Am I an exception? ❞ Alfie piped up jokingly, Ed huffing a short breath through his nostrils before uttering, ❝ Afraid not, Alfie. ❞ Eddie took a moment to turn and walk to the wall, using a pin to stick the paper up onto the wall before returning.

❝ Also, there are new ranks which will be put into force from now on. For efficiency's sake, members of Flintlock Lodge will now be assigned particular ranks with their own set of duties around the Lodge. There are also promotions to be earned as each branch now has an overseer to manage these ranks. You will be rewarded if you earn a promotion as they are highly regarded positions. ❞ Eddie sniffled, lowering his gaze again as he thought. And then, he slowly nodded his head.

❝ There's a sign up sheet which will be passed around after dinner; I'd like for you all to assign yourselves to one of the five ranks, please. Otherwise, I think that's everything for today. You can all head off for dinner. ❞
