FAMILY MEETING 2.0

[succiduous]

Who: Everyone. All Y'all. You Cannot Escape.
What: Info share because I know y'all got the plot
When: Late August, post Flower-Murdering
Where: The Inn
Warnings: triggers should be tagged appropriately in post headers! please and thank you!!


[Gnosis has government assigned himself "guy who bothers everyone about the plot" this time around. He craves information. You have information. You will give the information up during what he's calling a Town Hall, but was previously called a Family Meeting.

People who do not show up for the "what the fuck just happened this month" meeting will not be forcibly dragged into it, but will receive the most Disdainful, Judgemental look. Can you truly stand to be judged so harshly by a 35 year old man... no. You cannot. (You probably can actually he's not that intimidating.)

There are no snacks (currently) but there is freshly-brewed tea by Gnosis himself, and there's a framed corkboard he's brought downstairs (presumably out of his room) with notes on it, as well as some of those mysterious photographs that have been taken of everyone that he's asked to have. You know, so he can piece this puzzle together. Once everyone's gathered...]

Let's get started. Some of you have been here longer than others, so I hope you can volunteer information so we can figure out where we are and why, and anything else we later arrivals might have missed from the collective puzzle. Please try to stay on task.


[[ooc: hi hello this is your share-the-plot-ICly log, with the goal of a) catching up new arrivals and b) making sure information circulates ICly to avoid metagaming. which like that hasn't been a problem but you know, just in case. if you've never done one of these before they function a bit like this where everyone shares important info they've discovered with the class.]]

( jokes on you add, you have two whole dogboys who want what's best for you. )

... I wish you hadn't had gotten it all firsthand.

The Garden though- it sounds almost dreamlike.

Firsthand information is more reliable. I was also able to collect samples, so the situation isn't all that bad. [like, for data collection. not so much for avoiding trauma.

the Garden, though...

for a moment Add seems almost lost for words, smile faltering and gaze distant. how can he describe it...?]

... a place that feels both familiar and alien, shelter in the eye of the storm...

The sedative effect makes it difficult to leave. If you linger... compared to passing through the forest, remaining in that place seems more appealing. But it works much faster than you would expect. No matter how safe or comfortable it might seem...

[and yet, even now, some part of him still wishes he'd stayed with her]

I wonder if it was always meant to be like that, or if the Forest itself did something as well. It's like it ruins everything it touches. ... It's like demonic energy, but alive.
