I watch as the faces pile on in. Some I can recall - familiar enough in passing through the Asylum and other occurrences - others have no place in my memory of souls and horror. I allow a gentle smile to crawl upon my face the more they enter, though I cannot say I truly feel pride or joy as one might feel. No. The smile is simply one of those practiced responses that comes easily to me after years of doing it.

I will admit, dagger eyes did reach a few of the Asylum members who looked beyond high on whatever concoction it was that Oxy seemed to consistently be taking. However, the melodic voice of Reizend calms the anger of Schwere that was beginning to boil from the unruliness before us.

Midas and I had talked, I had explained what I knew of the Asylum before I disappeared to find that cure and who I felt would be strong enough to pull some weight inside the herd. And, he was beginning to promote them - to try and find a way into the good graces of a herd of insanity. Eris is the first to accept - and I merely watch, studying her movements carefully. What will come of this, I am not sure. It is Ghost's words of whom I catch next, the smile of practiced responses that appears so real is widening upon my maw. I give her a light dip of my cranium in response before Circuta speaks up - accepting the position as well.

Midas addresses the rest of those who had joined the meeting before nodding his head to me, and I shift just a little before allowing my mind to start placing words at the tip of my tongue. "For those who have yet to catch my name, or do not know of me I am Seele - and as Midas stated I will be standing beside him per the Earth God's wishes." There is a small pause as I take in a gentle breath before allowing my voice to curl out to the spectators before us. "I will be in charge of sleuths and healers, Midas is in charge of warriors and crafters. We will be watching, in these upcoming weeks, to see who we would like to promote as the heads of each rank - and hopefully the Earth God will find someone he wishes to communicate with to become our Storyteller - who will be in charge of all the others who wish to aid our family in growing and advice..." Another short pause as I glance to Midas - we were partners now, as the God had requested. I could accept it, seeing as how he was willing to attempt to accept those who were definitely not normal.

"As for warriors - there will be a marathon. You will be broken into teams, with a leader and you will have to gather something left for you in each of the lands and return them to us. The leader of the winning team will get to stand beside Eris as another Legatus, and the first two members of a team will get to stand as third in command, standing as a Preator. This will not start right away, though. At the next herd meeting Midas and I will announce groups and leaders, as well as the object you are looking for in each of the lands. So be prepared - you will have a chance not far from now to climb ranks."

I allow the information to hang in the air for a moment before looking to Ghost and attempting to meet her gaze. "Ghost - I will need your assistance, your gift of flight, soon. Please come find me after the meeting, mein dolch." I could use her to help lay out these items for the warriors to find. She'd be perfect - quick with the gift of flight. Yes. Things would work out.

"Those who have questions still left should speak up now - we will do our best to give them an answer..." I offered, giving a gentle snort to signal the end of my speech and to open the table for the rest of our herd.
