Flock Announces Emergency Meeting To Schedule Future Emergency Meeting
After another week of war brinkmanship, election sabotage, and ceremonial concern, the sheep have called an emergency meeting to discuss when they should next gather urgently.
The sheep announced an emergency meeting this week to determine the optimal date, time, and emotional tone for a future emergency meeting, citing the current national need for “immediate but carefully deferred coordination.”
According to the flock, the decision came after a bruising stretch of current events in which the country moved closer to wider war abroad while continuing its steady drift toward procedural menace at home. Fancy Pants described the situation as “active, dangerous, and unfortunately still requiring a scheduling poll.” He added that while the emergency was real and expanding, it would be irresponsible to rush into a full emergency response without first clarifying parking, note-taking responsibilities, and whether Janet’s procedural objections would consume the first forty minutes.
Janet agreed, saying it was essential that all participants receive the pre-read before any panic occurred. Simone objected that the nation did not have time for another ceremonial huddle disguised as action. Bruce and Frankie asked whether the next emergency meeting could happen at dusk and include branded beverages, which Janet said was not helpful but also not, technically, off agenda.
Whitney said the real problem was not the lack of concern, but the country’s commitment to processing catastrophe through a sequence of increasingly well-lit discussions. Marvin then produced a draft agenda with sections titled “War,” “Authoritarian Drift,” and “Snack Interference by Unknown Interests,” though the flock ultimately voted to postpone substantive matters until the follow-up emergency meeting could be properly scheduled and “spiritually aligned.”
The sheep said the entire process now closely mirrors the larger American governing model, in which leaders respond to active danger by promising a more robust conversation at a later date, ideally after the danger has grown more expensive, less manageable, and impossible to misunderstand.
By the end of the gathering, the flock agreed that the next emergency meeting would be held as soon as everyone had time to urgently discuss the emergency together.
