With a blink of his eyes, the blue flash once again dashed across Edwin’s eyes and then disappeared once more, faster than any one could register. Edwin took note of the longing gaze Liam had sent towards the Sonic Boom gang stands, unease rising within his heart. Why would a Lander be close to a Sonic Boom member. But he shook the thought away. Walking up towards the table, Edwin placed his hands down on the table, feeling the tension in the air. “First of all, thank you, Liam, for the wonderful speech. I must commend you, Katerina, for recruiting such a strong spokesperson and member within your gang.” He nodded at Liam and Katerina in turn before taking a step back, his eyes sleeping the members that stood in the stands and down near the table. “Might I remind everyone sitting here,” Edwin turned his head, looking at all the leaders and members standing there, his eyes dwindling on Cat and Michael, “I usually do not speak unless forced to, I am sure everyone here knows this.” He raised his hand to cover a cough, his phone buzzing in his left hand. “However, I would rather not see the structure that we ourselves have drafted, the Landers and Candy Crushes included, fall to ruin due to insolence and infighting.” His cool, dark blue eyes roamed the table once more, his face emotionless. “Michael, you must understand that what you just said was a personal insult to Katerina, head of the Landers. She is, for a reason, the head of one of the strongest Error groups currently within Minimum. Our leaders sitting here,” He turned his eyes towards the five leaders, nodding in turn, “Are sitting here due to their heightened prowess and stronger capabilities. Please, I do not wish to create a fight. But, I cannot watch as a rift is created between two of our most honorable members within the Error gang system within Minimum.”
A small smile formed on his face as he turned to look at Michael, his stance filled with authority. “I do not wish to make this a confrontation.” His eyes flickered an electric blue, a tiger-like figure appearing on his side, “But as one of the guardians of this meeting!” Edwin projected his voice, looking at the people who stood on the stands, “I demand that there be decorum, respect, and substance to this meeting- which, I am sure, Michael, you will be able to fill with your reports.” Edwin glanced at Ryota, his Error fading away as suddenly as it had appeared. “I have stepped out of my boundaries as a second-in-command. I apologize, Katerina, Ryota, Alexandria, Nemiel, however, as one of the suggestors of the creation of such a gathering between the four Error Gangs within Minimum, I felt as if I should see what I created to rise into fruition, rather than rot before it even does anything.” Taking a step back, Edwin bowed his head at the leaders as a signal that he had finished speaking. He had spoken too much, anyways- but every time these ‘meetings’ were held, there always was inevitably a bit of arguing between different members of different groups.
His eyes moved towards the stands, watching the Errors that gathered on the stands, watching the small gathering around the rather elaborate table. They are…uncommonly quiet today. It was common for group members to speak up if they wished- it was part of the agreement. If they felt as if something was not going how they wished, if they did not like how someone spoke, the Errors could speak and voice their opinions loudly. This, obviously, caused skirmishes to sometimes happen, but that was exactly he reason why the guardians were appointed in the first place. The four guardians were chosen from each gang, Errors of power and standing within the respective Errors- but, obviously, the Leaders could not participate. Not only were they stronger- much stronger- than even their second-in-commands, but their personal ties, as per to the thoughts of some, would hinder the evaluation of different problems that would come to the grand council. Edwin had been the one to motion for such a large meeting to happen, travelling around meeting every gang that resided within Minimum, discovering his unnatural talent in being both a salesman and a spokesperson. But I never thought that this would just enforce the rifts between our groups. His eyes flickered the blue flash once again reappearing in his eyes as he stepped into his Error once more.
“You dare summon me at will?” The tiger walked up to him, across the desk, it’s fangs bared and claws unsheathed. “I did not mean to- I had to interject-“ But Edwin’s Error didn’t listen, it flicked it’s tail, sparks flying in the air. “Do not believe, child,” the tiger said, scathingly, “That because I haven’t killed you yet means that you have much longer to live.” The tiger’s eyes flashed a bright blue, sparks flying off of its tail again as it swished back and forth. Taking a step back, Edwin backed away from the tiger, his expression cautious as he watched the tiger walk up towards him, regal and furious. “I am my own master, child. I will never listen to you-,” And then the tiger was gone. Edwin shivered, but refrained from collapsing, scared that it would trigger a random explosion. A shaky sigh escaped his lips as Edwin once again focused on the events in front of him. That Michael better focus on sharing information…He does not want to be the object of Katerina’s wrath… He had seen her rage before- once. It had been a Sonic Boom member, callous enough to challenge her power and leadership skills. The member had been a promising one- extremely strong Error- but, now, the member was stuck in the asylum still frothing and screaming of his worst nightmares.
