He liked letting the lodge function without regular meetings. It was nice. For the most part, they knew what they had to do. That was...it was peaceful. But since last night, when he'd received word from the Badlands, he'd been rehearsing and panicking and brainstorming--all to give an announcement that was, he hoped, sufficiently informative and not at all fear-inducing. His own fear was, luckily, more towards the giving of the announcement than the actual news; but it would be a lie to say it didn't have him at all nervous. The Badlands could destroy their lodge, if they meant to, and he had to bring his A-game.
So it was that cold morning Johannes once more addressed the inhabitants of the lodge during breakfast. He tried to focus on his hands--signing to Rudolf--and in return, his words came out with more ease as he let his memory form the announcement, with his conscious brain focusing only on talking to his friend.
"I have an announcement to make. It's not...I've been contacted by the Badlands. They have someone new in charge, and they want to hold a meeting with us and with--with Saint Peters. I don't know what they want, yet. But it's -- new management. They might want a truce. I don't trust them, and... I'd like one person to come with me. Everyone else--be on your guard. Patrol, keep watch--this might be a plan for another raid, but they're not going to drag more than two of us away. Hopefully we'll settle something and we won't have to worry about raids anymore."

[align=center][align=center] Bruce wasn't someone who liked to let things go on their own. Controlling to a fault, demanding to the point that he could ruin friendships, and overall a rather harsh personality wearing soft skin, he doesn't like anything that isn't planned meticulously, thought out thoroughly. Perhaps that's why he's so restless, searching for some semblance of order. The diplomatic side of the lodge hasn't been around much, but Win can't say that he would like it any better. Everything is starting to bother him as of late, so that wasn't saying much. He would just prefer... Structure. The start of the announcement has his head lifting, brow raised and gaze level. The Badlands could try what they want, be it a truce or a raid  Bruce trusts the strength of the people here, even if they won't go to the same ends as the Badlands. There were few defenseless people, and mostly he would worry about the children in a battle. They needed to set up a place they could go when they were under attack. Perhaps a way to escape, too. A hidden room stocked with enough supplies for a long time. He'd think more on that later.
"I want to go," Bruce says levelly, firmly. "The people here can handle themselves just fine for the meeting, especially with instructions and defenses, and you need to make an impression if they're going to plan something in the future." He's not saying that he's the part that would make an impression, but there's not much more intimidating than someone like him. If he's not the one Johannes takes, Marauder would be a good choice, though he doubts that he would leave that kid of his behind nicely.

RUDOLF MARONEY
[align=left][justify][size=8pt]rudolf had been pretty low lately. Something had sucked all of his energy and while he wanted to be an active member of their community, he just hadn't been himself lately. But with johannes putting together another meeting, the man hoped he'd be able to shake this funk off. He stood towards the front, eyes locked on his superior.
Rudolf was genuinely surprised. From what he could understand, it seemed like the Badlands might not be so bad anymore. But he didn't want to get too hopeful. Johannes gaze turned, and the man let his own eyes follow. Win had volunteered, it seemed. Rudolf knew he was good for the job, but who would be in charge if both of them were gone? He didn't think there had been a time since johannes had been appointed dictator that he hadn't been there. And now that he'd appointed Bruce as whatever he called it, they'd be missing two leaders, not just one.
He thought about voicing his opinions, but was unsure if it was a good idea or not. He didn't want to contradict the two of them, especially since he'd been laying low lately. Maybe if he had stepped up more in the past weeks he would feel better about it, but now he just felt wrong to complain.

"Good. Yes. We'll both go." He nodded firmly, glad to have such a quick response, and from someone he generally trusted not to fuck things up. It took him a second, though--and Win's further comments--to realize that they'd thus be leaving the lodge alone.
Now, like the commander said--they probably would be fine. They'd know how to survive. But was it really smart to leave without any--what was it Win'd said? instructions and defenses...yes. Well, he could address that. He just had to think for a moment, and--
"We need to make sure this place is well guarded. I know we're all--I know this isn't exactly a busy place. But there are kids here, and--" Fuck, who was he kidding? If Badlands raided them again--his trust in this place wasn't as high as it had been only minutes ago, but he couldn't stay--that'd be worse for their standing with Badlands than going, that's for sure.
"Rudolf, can you help keep an eye on things?" He signed, catching the young man's eye.

A meeting between all the groups' VIPs? In Marauder's opinion, it sounded like the perfect opportunity to knock the Badlands onto their asses, but that was something he would have done when he traveled alone, when he didn't have Percy, his healing bruises a reminder of how young and small he was, especially in dangerous situations. Marauder wouldn't lead him into another one, not if he could help it, so it definitely wasn't an option to go off solo like that. Besides, apparently a truce had been proposed; it didn't matter if Marauder thought that was bullshit, seeing as Johannes had already made up his mind to go meet regardless, and that involved taking Win with him. A good choice. It would have been between the two of them, most likely, but Win was the better option because Marauder was the last person to tag along on a diplomatic trip, added with his reluctance to leave Perseus unattended. He preferred to stay here, especially if shit hit the fan and they had a crew of raiding assholes breaking in. Marauder had no issue dealing with those kinds of people, even less so when all the kids here wouldn't have much in terms of protection. He wasn't calling all the adults incapable of holding their own in a fight, but it could be too easy to get distracted, and they still didn't have enough to comfortably hold this place, at least from Marauder's standpoint.
"With Win gone, I've got the most experience. I don't care who you're leaving in charge," briefly, he glanced to Rudolf, "but I'll keep this place safe." Marauder didn't make promises lightly- it would be much easier to disappoint if he did.

In all honesty, Johannes hadn't expected Marauder to speak up--but he couldn't say he was displeased by the surprise, and in fact, his mouth upturned slightly and the dictator nodded. Good. He didn't know him well, but he knew the man had both an investment in the lodge and the physical capability to defend it. "...Thank you." He cleared his throat, his hand waving by his side to get out some his tension, and he quickly brought his hands together, clasping them and rolling his eyes back--was there anything else he needed to say? He couldn't think, couldn't remember--he hadn't practiced this one with Rudolf. "....All right. That's--that's all, then."
