[much to say, much to say...] [EVERYONE] -- The Black Lands

.oh, lord. time had literally flown by. things had happened, horses had left, had been born, were away temporarily... time to do some catching up. but first, a judgement. though he hadn't had any time to say much, he had still been watching, and for once, he was proud of what he observed. so his smile is genuine as he trots haughtily back in to the cadre, his sharp ooids swining around and absorbing any changes, before his jaws expand and release a loud, resounding bugle.

[i'm baaaack! yup yup. much to say, much to do. first of all, i would like to address the lokia... issue. i welcomed her here, because i saw potential in her, and i thought perhaps she could mold in to our way of life. unfortunatly, i no longer think so. she is a good mare... but she does not belong here. she can stay, if she would like to continue trying, and i'll say one thing: right there is the key. her determination, her willpower, this is the indication of her inner strength. nonetheless, lokia, if you wish to leave, you may do so. as for the rest of you, thank you for obeying my wishes and not harming her... this obedience is highly looked upon]

[secondly, the ranks. as you can see, they have been shuffled around quite a lot. there are only a few i would like to specifically address, however. styx and sudden silence. sudden silence, you have made an excellent come back. i welcome you back here with open arms, and i hope you continue the activity and strength you display. and styx. as you can see, you are now a guard. i trust in your skills, your strength, your loyalty, and your obedience. i hope that you will patch things up between yourself and alibi... you both deserve this rank, and together you would make a mean team. united we stand, divided we fall: remember that]

[thirdly, i am sorry to say numerous horses have left us. suicidal, typhus, ironic, and minstrel are all gone, and there are many more who have gone missing. let us hope for their return... but we are none too lenient, so do come back in a hurry]

[as for the rest of you, i will speak with each of individually later. thank you for staying active and loyal... it is much appreciated. keep up the good work, and emrace these words: i do not compliment often]
