Open Council Post [timed to after Shore Leave]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

They'd all had their fun, now the time had come to attend to business.

Having sent out word about it, the Council gathered, as was its wont, to conduct matters, make announcements, take inquiries, and generally govern things and so forth. All crew members were invited to attend, either to watch or to raise questions as they saw fit.

This meeting was now in session.

Bight dipped his head as Hiccup spoke, he understood the position that he had taken and the reasoning behind it. That there had been others that had deceived them and had attempted to take advantage of the crew he had little doubt.

When Hiccup opened the floor he turned and calmly listened in turn to the three crew members who spoke up, acknowledging their points, "You each have valid arguments, I understand that in the past others have tried to deceive you to bring harm to the crew by putting on acts, and being something that they are not,"

A light chuckle was drawn from him at Sokka's comment, "I have always been one to see that my skills in such a form are put to good use, especially in the protection of others,"

"While I may well not truly be human, my identity as Hogan Bight is no falsehood, the one you have come to know is as real as the dragon known as Crucible. The ideals I stand for are the same whether you know me as Hogan Bight or as Crucible," He spoke sincerely as he swept his gaze over the crew and council gathered in that large room, nodding to Zetta and Dhianeila, "As councilor Zetta and Dhianeila say, I am the same individual, whether I am serving the crew as councilor, or protecting it as Crucible,"

After a moment of thought he gave a nod towards Ildranieth before casting his gaze to the crew assembled within the vast room to the councilors befor him, "You are however correct, I realize the crew has had issues in the past that have threatened and brought mistrust to those in such situations as I, therefor as a gesture of reconciliation and reassurance to the crew and council I will step down from my position of councilor,"

Before anyone could comment however he went on, "Before I do however, I would like to propose a new position. One that would aid crew and council alike, a position that would serve both as an advisor to the council and a liaison to the crew. Providing both greater access to the council and greater transparency for the crew at large," He paused for but a moment, "It is for this role that I propose that I take on, once I step down from the council. In this way I may continue to serve the crew and make proper use of my knowledge and political skills, to the greatest benefit of both crew and council,"
