//I'm tired and museless help

Weird how time could fly by yet seem like it barely passed, huh? It was time for another meeting already. Yep. That time again. At least things had been cooling off lately, as far as Cat was concerned, the weather was perfect. Not hot, not cold, autumn's chill was only just starting to be carried in with the breeze. "Meeting time." They called, heading up the steps of the casino and taking their place on the billiard table.

APPEARANCE  dress me up and watch me die
⇥ Catalyst is 6'2" tall; they possess a lean and muscular body, one that has a variety of old scars adorning it. One of the easiest to notice is one that stretches down their right cheek. While not a scar, one very notable marking on their chest is the "BL" brand. They have two piercings, one in their tongue and the other in the cartilage of their left ear. They typically dress in dark colors (favoring jackets with some sort of writing on the back), and their hair is black. They're not all dark, however, as they have pale blue eyes that peer out from beneath medium-sized eyebrows.

PERSONALITY  if it feels good, tastes good, it must be mine
⇥ Catalyst is ambitious, with the cunning and ruthlessness to reach their goals by any means necessary. They can be brutal when they feel it is needed, however when it's not they won't bother. They tend to be rather aloof and apathetic to most things and people, with some very rare exceptions. Provided those around them don't cross a few specific lines, they're content to leave them be, though they've been known to take an interest in some people, which seldom has a positive end for whoever their interest is in. They can be manipulative, and will often encourage people to make bad decisions. Those that stick by them will be rewarded, but those that do not will be cast out, as they've been outcast for their entire life and have learned to appreciate loyalty wherever they can find it. Even during the most stressful of situations, they usually keep a firm grip on their temper and keep their calm, though when they do snap and lose their temper, it is uncontrollable. They're remarkably observant, often able to deign much from subtle clues in what people say, how they say it and how they act.

[align=center][div style="width: 390px; text-align: justify;"]tinny hadn't been to an actual meeting before, so when one was called, he was very excited to attend. he had left his book where he had been, but.. he had no clue what he was supposed to do, so he just stood near the bottom of the stairs, waiting for someone else to come along.

— time for another meeting. it felt like time had gone by quickly between this one and the last, days feeling like hours at this point. maybe that was just a sign that he was aging or some dumb shit like that. either way, he made his way up the casino steps and past the doorway. like usual, he glanced around for a spot where eyes wouldn't be directly on him, and stood there with his arms crossed. whatever catalyst said, he hoped that they at least had good news for most of them. didn't the badlands deserve a bit of a fucking break after all that had happened with the insurrection? and a long fucking break, at least.

    Meeting time. Admittedly Lucerne had actively chosen to avoid these meetings for some time, especially since attending these meetings meant he'd be confronted by judging eyes. Especially Addy's, as far as Lucerne was concerned. As for the present, however, Lucerne decided that perhaps he ought to show his face around at some point, even if he may find the occasion somewhat hateful. And so, he wandered silently into the casino. Like a shadow in the dark. Hands clasped comfortably behind his back as he slunk into the room, keeping himself towards the back as he quietly waited for the meeting to begin.

Oh fun, meeting time. Salem scaled the steps up the casino with ease, reaching out to attempt to grab Tinny's arm and lead him along into the casino towards the usual meeting spot. He wasn't drunk or even buzzed right now, so he was perceptive enough to see the rugrat was confused.

"They usually drape dramatically over the billiards table, just watch." Salem murmured, letting go of Tinny - assuming he'd gotten ahold of the kid in the first place - once they got inside.

as tinny was grabbed, he let out a soft little squeak, only to follow the captain along. he was very kind, so far, so he didn’t much mind. he couldn’t help but giggle as the older man spoke, shaking his hands excitedly and rocking on his heels. “i d-don’t want to bo-b-bother the boss with that, so i’ll.. just ssssit in a ch-chair.”

Alright, got a nice little crowd forming. Sweet. They narrowed their eyes in Salem's direction as he tried to corrupt Tinny, not really appreciating his take on their way of sitting. "I do not drape dramatically." They grumbled, despite knowing deep down that it was quite true.

"Right, so we'll start off with the welcomes. There's Gavin, he's got a metric ass ton of cats and I think he'll fight you if you don't like it. There's also Tinny, who I'm thinking is more likely to fug you up on accident with his bat rather than on purpose." So there was that. "And lastly welcome back to Lucerne. He's been beekeeping, I guess." Something that Cat had learned to appreciate, despite not wanting to admit it.

It was at that point they did exactly what the Officer had said they would: draped themself dramatically over the billiard table. They heard Salem say something to Tinny about it and grimaced. Goddamnit, they hadn't even realized they'd done it until it was too late, and they didn't want to prove it that easily. "Fug off. Anyway, back on tack. Salem's started hosting weekly tasks, if you missed them last week he'll be doing it again tomorrow." Wow, there really wasn't that much to add, huh?

"Also, I'd like to promote Salem to Councilman. Hope you like purple." They reached into the good old trusty cardboard box and took out the purple bandanna, but that wasn't all they took out. "You also get the Enforcer title." And the spiked earrings and handcuffs that came with it.

Oh, right, he wasn't the only one that got to have stuff. "Newbies, come get your necklaces." They were gonna have to start making more of these things soon, huh? Maybe they could get Molly to do it - making jewelry was something she liked.

OOC Summary & Announcements
— Welcome to Gavin/Aureate, Tinny/Cosmyn, and welcome back to Lucerne/Truce!
— Salem/Darky has started hosting weekly tasks. Last week's are here but a new round will be up tomorrow.
— Salem is promoted to Councilman and given the Enforcer title.
— New members get necklaces
— In case you didn't see it, we've got a discussion thread up here and I swear I'm going to reply to it soon.
— There's also a survey for sitewide plots here.

"No, Cat'll be the one doing it-" Salem started softly, realizing he hadn't explained himself well. And then oh shit, the meeting was starting and he should probably shut up; he doubted Cat would take kindly to passing notes or whispers during meetingtime. Or maybe that was just the trauma from his schooling days, who knows.

And sure enough, after the welcomes the bastard did drape dramatically and announce the Weekly Tasks stuff. Hey, it gave Salem a chance to boss people around so why wouldn't he bring back that dated tradition?

"Wha- Hey, I like my bandanna's color." Salem protested the second Cat talked about promoting him. Yeah he wanted the extra street cred and title or whatever, but he liked the striped blue; purple was so not his color. Still, he approached to exchange his bandanna for his new one and grab the spiked earrings and handcuffs. Wow, Catalyst really was committed to making him look like a rip-off punk, huh? "Eh, least I got my ears pierced already." He commented quietly.

"Hey kid, cat-man, that meant you two as well so get over here. It's awkward without anybody else." Salem said, waving Gavin and Tinny over to where he and Catalyst were.

"You can decline the promotion, if you want, but otherwise you're shit out of luck." They could relate to the problem, don't get them wrong - they'd chosen a black and white bandanna for the Boss because that matched their aesthetic. They carried handcuffs should they end up needing them (a good thing too, because they had been necessary before), but didn't take the title or the earrings.

"Fuck off, I'm not declining shit." Salem snapped defensively, despite the fact he'd been complaining a few seconds before. He popped out some of his old studs, and replaced them with the new earrings before hooking the handcuffs around his belt. "Do I get the keys for these, or does the person I handcuff just get eternally locked up?"
