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. ❞
