December FamMeet

Who: The Grove
What: Town Hall
When: Mid-Late December
Where: Inn Lobby
Warnings: Child death mentions, torture, body horror all probably will be brought up.

[ In the morning, Irene will trek around the Grove to knock on doors and let everyone know she's setting up a information sharing meeting in the Inn's lobby. She figures there would be best, considering the new fireplace (~~thread pending on my behalf~~) set up and the fact it's about as safe as they're going to get.

Irene also lets everyone know that any fights and any blatant drama starters will be met with punishment. She doesn't elaborate on this further. Zahliya is invited. Irene tells Moder if she wants to sit by the door to listen, she can. She does not invite the merchant siblings, however - though she'll make no objections if someone else does.

She seems to be writing things down in their shared journals this meeting so people can reference this later. ]

[At least the half-bald newcomer found... something to wear by now, surely. Sorry if you saw him when he was tits out in the snow.

He mostly keeps to himself, and sweats visibly when it appears to be his turn for introductions.]

Uh... Hi. I'm Livio. Also from No Man's Land.

[He still has next to no idea what the fuck is happening. Help.]

[Listen Weasel I'm assuming that Vash Vashed their last thread and they're at least on amicable terms -]

Don't let how big this guy is intimidate you. He's real nice! Just needs to be convinced that it's okay to take an extra bed for himself!

[Sorry, Liv. He's calling you out!]

[He was trying to be as unintimidating as possible, Vash! And now you're going to make him use his big boy voice.]

It is not.

[He remains undiscouraged.]

One extra bed, that no one else is using! Yep!

Are you a friend of Mister Vash, then?

Oh, uh... I... don't know about that... Mizuki, was it? You should probably ask him, honestly.

I feel like, if Mister Vash's standards are "didn't shoot and kill me", that the answer would be "yes" from him, regardless. It's nice to meet you, though! I haven't seen you around yet, which is surprising, I usually see everyone at least once around here.

[Maybe it's best that Livio doesn't admit to attempting as much, at least not as long as everyone's trapped here together.]

... I just got here.

Well, if you need anything, feel free to ask me, alright? 'Specially 'cause you're new here. I've been here for quite a bit and I really like helping out the new folk when I can.

Plus, I really want more friends so we can have Mario Kart tournaments at the Grove.

[Thank god for the distraction.]

What's a Mario Kart?

It's a racing game!!! I can show you after the meeting, if you'd like? It's a video game specifically - have you played one of those before?

Can't say I have. I never had the money for things like that. Much less the time.

[It seems like there are still a lot better uses of their time, but it'd be a dumb move to get on anyone's bad side before Livio can even get his bearings.]

I see... Growing up, my mama didn't have a lot of money, either. I only somewhat recently got into video games. Like, within the past four years, I mean. The manager of a game store gave me a job and I got really into them.

I know they can be fairly pricey, though...

Still, they're a lot of fun, and even if you don't know how to play, it'll be fun just to do something as a group. Something actually fun, I mean.

[Livio's here too, huh. He's still here...thank god.

Wolfwood doesn't say anything still, but he's watching him from across the room.]

[can you admit to yourself that he's real now, wolfwood]

[YEAH SURE HE GUESSES]

Um... It is nice to meet you... D-Do you need any help with anything? [ She seems nervous, not by how he looks or his angry scowl. Just because she is a nervous sort of girl. ]

[In his defense he just kinda has RBF even though he isn't mad at all. But given that she looks anxious, he makes an effort to tone it down.]

Ah -- it's nice to meet you too. Caoimhe, right? [He scratches at his jaw in his own little nervous tic. Starting to get itchy.] Thanks for the offer, but I think I just need to settle in...

I see... Is there anything I can do, to help you... Um... Accommodate? There is much I can offer, as a friend.

[He doesn't mean to be rude, he's just surprised --]

We're friends?

Of course? Why would we not be? [ Its okay, she totally will answer with such honesty! ]

[............... Okay, he'll just go with it, he guesses.]

... Is there anywhere to find currency besides the river? [The very. very frozen river.]

Currency...? [ She gives a thought, attempting to figure a few things out within her own mind. ] Um... We have no need for currency here.... Usually, when it is you need or want something. Heimr or Ydlair will task you with something else. In turn, completing this task, will give you what it is you seek.

Oh.

[Well.]

That sounds... too easy.

Oh! Well, the tasks arent always so easy. They can be rather complicated and hard, depending what it is you can or cannot do.

[ You know a very normal thing to say basically... HAHA. ]
