SELF-ENTITLED
The lack of turn out threw him off. Jervis scowled visibly. One of his announcements had already fell down the drain, seeing that who he wanted to address didn't even bother showing up. Pitiful. Perhaps they'd show their face in the future and face reality, but for now the ardent would push that aside. There were other things he needed to address besides that. Really, besides that announcement there was nothing more than him talking away about their enemies... and of course the usual things.
Jervis surveyed the audience one last time before beginning. His face pulled back into a snarl. "To those that are new here, welcome," he grumbled darkly. "Get comfortable quick and rest up. We're going to need all the strength you have soon enough." Their newer members were already being dragged into The Pitt's feud, which was nothing new. Thankfully, it was their decision to come here. If they wanted to leave, they may but not without a fight. After all, their border were still closed and under lock down. The guards at the border would most likely get to him before Jervis came after them personally. Why risk his own tail first?
Golden eyes narrowed out towards the audience. "I will remind you all that the Vicar and Erudite positions are still open." Hopefully there was some interest, but Jervis found himself needlessly looking for a right hand man he believed he didn't need. How selfish of him. "There are a few that have caught my eye-" The more brutal, the better. "-but if you have any interest, you may go ahead and contact me personally." Discussing these things beforehand was not a problem, especially if they had plans that suited his needs.
"Now you see, let's get to the knitty gritty," Jervis barked. His voice raised to a shrill yell. It was obvious that he was frustrated, but not to the point of what one may call a temper tantrum. Perhaps the audience calmed him a bit. "Tanglewood has been quite magnificent these days." Dramatically, he gestured towards his chest. "Please, if you may, focus all of your attention on them. The Typhoon, The Rosebloods, and Elysium are in no need of a good slicing and dicing." A huff left him.
"Meeting dismissed."
Something inside him was slowly crumbled away. His patience had worn out and his rage-filled tyrant side was beginning to seep out from his facade of mercy. Not yet though. The ardent was still playing his game and hoping for the best results, but sadly his attempts were failing. Prideful and persistent, Jervis was still going to let his plan play itself out.
// Change of plans w/ a plot! Consider this a simple reminder and filler meeting if you will.
