FAMILY MEETING 2.0

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.]]

[He would be head in hands right now if Caoimhe weren't holding onto his... sigh. When did the family meeting turn into "give Elsword advice about how he's (allegedly) in love with his best friend who also just happens to be his doctor and probably the reason he's still standing"... on God he can see Gnosis standing over off to the side with Felicity looking at them. He does not need to be scrutinized by a 35 year old man thanks.

...]


If the whole universe disappeared, that would probably be because I failed somewhere. [THAT IS NOT. HOW THIS WORKS.] So I wouldn't think of it like that, but...

I do want to make him happy. I just don't know how. I know what sorts of things he likes, and we've toured most of Elrios and at least half of the Demon Realm together, [not so much a tour as a saving-the-world(s) mission though,] and we've been through a lot... but I guess I still don't understand how to do that. I can't force him to smile, but... I like it when he does, you know?

[ Hm. How has this conversation gotten so far from him? He's fine with Caoimhe being better at this than him, that made sense. He's fine with them having different views than him, that made sense. He's fine with them agreeing. He's fine with Caoimhe not hearing him. He's fine with the fact he can't seem to understand anything they're saying. Except maybe all of that is a little much. Maybe he hates feeling disconnected and alone when surrounded by people more than anything, actually?

He continues to smile warmly even if there's something cold that sits in his stomach at Caoimhe's question.

Like someone slammed their hand against an old TV, Mizuki's visage turns to static and color artifacts and a disorienting combination of greens and reds for a moment. A split second, even. A brief glitch. He's okay. This is about Elsword figuring out his feelings! He wants him to! He wants Doctor Add to be happy, too, especially since Mizuki messed all this up. His heroes deserve to be happy. ]


It's alright! You guys keep talking~! I just realize I'm starving. I could eat a house!

[ THANKS FOR REMINDING HERTHATS HER FUCKING PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. She kind of just feels what he said winded her a moment - not in a bad way but its like. 'OH FORGOT I LEFT THE STOVE TO MY KITCHEN ON AT HOME' sort of realization. Palms get trembly, she tries to remember the world beyond is okay, it is in good hands - she is trying her best to come home. ]

Yes... I...

[ Lets go back to IMPORTANT matters, things you can control. The feelings of others that need to be taken care of - somewhere in her future unbeknownst to her. The great ocean father's voice quakes: You cannot save the world yourself, but you can save those who were picked as champions for it.

Such is the case here. Although not to save, but to help. She saviors this conversation. Reigning in her nerves. ]


Making everyone individually happy is hard - it starts with understanding them right...? Sometimes.. we... [ Her voice fades away, then she hears - 'It's alright! You guys keep talking~! I just realize I'm starving. I could eat a house!' ] Ah.. Mizuki are you - leaving as well? Are you sure..? I am sure Elsword would love your company still, as would I.

[Elsword, experiencing a slight twinge of paranoia: Why is everyone suddenly leaving what did I do.

He's just gonna take it in stride.]


I mean, I wouldn't mind... but if you're hungry, you're hungry. Maybe we could all have a lunch break...

[You know, before they get back to the actual point of this meeting, which is not really Elsword's relationship drama and is supposed to be about "hey this situation sucks". Alas.]

Don't stop on my behalf, please. Us Aegir just have some unique eating habits, that's all. [ This is a lie, but he can't say "Seaborn", so- ] Besides, I think you're getting somewhere, Mister Elsword~! Love is a pretty strong emotion, so I'm not surprised it's the one that's bubbling up here, you know!!!

[ Twists on his heel......... walks away- ]

Mizuki is right... I think you are figuring it out well on your own, in the end.... It is.. Up to you - no? But... We are here for you, I am glad that you feel so deeply for your friend.. It is charming. [ Caoimhe might let go of Elswords hands now, but she will stay close to him watching Mizuki begin to walk away. ] Do you think.. Mizuki is okay? He did seem to want to leave suddenly too..? Sometimes I worry for him, as I worry for you.
