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.]]

[sam reich voice] I've been here the whole time

[cleavethetides]

[ Irene has been sitting by the door this whole time. In one hand she has a cup of tea, and in the other she has her PDA. She's taking notes about the important things and silently judging when things get off topic. Mostly at Gnosis for letting it get so unruly, but she's got a judgmental eye on the Children, too.

Feel free to approach her, but she'll pretend like she doesn't hear you. ]

[shineprism]

Ah- have you spoken to Caoimhe, yet? She's been giving a very detailed record of what's been found so far.

[cleavethetides]

[ Without looking at Chung: ] I've been listening.

[ Sips tea. ]

Does your friend often bring his personal woes into gatherings like this or is today just really special?

[shineprism]

I would ask that you not blame him for that other girl's actions. But otherwise, no.

( quite frankly, he has not had personal woes for a long time though. )

[cleavethetides]

I don't expect everyone to be good at handling other people gracefully, but I do expect even teenagers to understand there's a time and a place for things. Perhaps our worlds just have different mannerisms. How unfortunate.

[shineprism]

Perhaps this isn't the best time or place, no, but I can understand the focus shift. ... Elsword has been without emotions for many years now. His regaining them is, however disruptive, a good thing- and the others are only trying to help.

While we're here, the community is just as important as the business, I think. But you don't have to agree.

[cleavethetides]

I do agree. Community and people coming together is important when we seem to be stuck here. It's a shame children have to be subjected to this place.

[shineprism]

I don't believe any of us can count as children. Even I have been fighting for most of my life. Elsword, longer. But I suppose when that's the case, the two blend together.

( community and fighting, that is. )

[cleavethetides]

Child soldiers also fight for most of their lives, yet they're still children. That doesn't make it right.

[shineprism]

No, it doesn't. But we're here all the same. ... I know it's frustrated you, but- I'm actually a little grateful for the interruptions. For me, it's proof that Elsword is still human.

[succiduous]

[Sipping his tea... finally speaks up:]

It is a shame, but such is the case with Rhodes Island as well. Not that I'm excusing such things.

[cleavethetides]

The kids there should also not be subjected to the things they do, yet much like this place, they don't have a choice... It should be up to the more experienced to keep them protected.

[ And using their manners. ]

[succiduous]

[snorts into his cup]

[devilishkouhai]

Whoaaaa youre so pretty and cool - I want your dress so badly!!!! Where did you get it!??!!?

[ You just have a BB coming over after being a menace to everyone, suddenly acting like a normal girl. ]

[cleavethetides]

[ Oh god, it's this girl. She was so hoping she would just ignore Irene. She doesn't even look at BB, tapping her PDA to add things to her notes and taking a sip of her tea before she replies rather flatly: ] Does it matter? It's not like this place has boutiques.

[devilishkouhai]

Yeahhhh, but you can ask for one if you want - or better yet. Ask for similar clothing to be brought to you by the Trader lady and her funny ugly dog. [ It's a turtle. BB is there leaning to one side looking at the others PDA - it looks fun. Interesting even, she wants it. ]

[cleavethetides]

[ Funny... ugly dog... Is this girl an idiot? Scratch that, she's already witnessed her other shenanigans here. Of course she is. ]

Then it sounds like you already know what to do.

[devilishkouhai]

Okay fine fine, do you want a Holy Grail? [ I am choking. ] I'll trade you one for a dress like yours? I cant order from my own world we have nothing like your dresses!!!

[cleavethetides]

A holy what? [ Is she being mocked because she's covered in religious symbols...? ] If you are really so hard pressed for a dress like this, I'm sure the Shopkeeper has plenty of fabrics to choose from. A needle and thread should also be easy to get your hands on.

[ Beat. ]

I could teach you how to sew if you don't already know.

[devilishkouhai]

...? [ BB pauses, for a good while. A good pause. A pause. ]

[devilishkouhai]

Are you actually dumb or what? [ BB is looking at her contemplatively, questioning in her mind the others sense of - well... To BB, their lack of sense really. ]

Like do you GET why I am asking you for clothing from your world, or are you just...? Dumb? Are you actually like Miss Crane, and I don't know? [ Acting as if Irene even knows what BB herself, is talking about. ] Or are you just playing hard to get - BB is into that too by the way. Just, maybe BB is not getting what you are throwing down and this banter is fucking her up, so are you good or what?

[cleavethetides]

[ She's not sure what she was expecting. Especially seeing BB's demonstration throughout this meeting. So, uh, yeah, no, she's not putting up with it anymore. She was attempting to be helpful and now she's just annoyed.

Her rapier is swiftly yanked into her hand and within seconds, BB will feel her own gravity and weight shift as the blade draws upward. Maybe she goes flying up a little too fast, and maybe she bangs against the ceiling, who's to say for sure?

You wanted to be the center of attention, BB? There you go. In front of God and Everyone, you're now floating. ]

[devilishkouhai]

Kyaaa~~ not the panty shots!!!

█ █ █ [ Somewhere the sound of a movie reel gets played and stopped, then a tiny little BB head pops out and takes out a big marker to the screen.

This moment plays out like this..

Here you have little BB circling over Irene with her fancy pink Sakura colored marker, and then a big circle over BB herself,

"Yeah you see that!?!? This was the exact moment when - oh, here! Lets rewind a little bit..." Then suddenly, the scene behind her rewinds all the way back! To this a moment with a kiss, where the voice of a certain witched cursed down unto BB's manner, and the beginning of an interesting moment for BB.

"This was exactly where! BB was allowed to default out of her syntax and immediately act out on old programming! As an AI she was entirely in control of the situation-"

Suddenly the movie blitzes back to where BB and Irene is. Just as suddenly she is slammed against the ceiling with a loud, "BWEH!" Air leaving from her lungs, and she is attempting despite the apparent clatter of her body against it. Trying to catch her breath, in a shaky manner but one full of seemingly delighted regard.

"Yes. Totally in control of it."

Who saw this - no one did... Maybe... Maybe as a treat, you did too if you want to play around with being accidentally dragged into planar spaces that are not yours and someone else's. Becareful about that though~!!! ] █ █ █

2/2 the ACTUAL reply

[devilishkouhai]

[ Gravity is taken from her - a familiar feeling she is all but use to. The way her body blitzes upwards and slams into the ceiling, is, indeed. Something, she calculated for, and presumed knowing that everyone within this room had abilities that she was not aware of yet. That is... BB was now informed of the slither of capacity that Irene was capable of doing. It also delighted her, as an AI who syphons information in every way that she can. To see the usage of physics altering powers, displayed with the control that it was.

Interesting.

Interesting.

More interesting was the way she had been seemingly, free'd from constraints she had upon her before! Now if she wanted to, she could gladly waltz up to Irene and grab her hand and drag her into a cute little dance. Maybe even steal her clothes while she is at it!!!

Though Bb was thinking more like, taking her Aurea Poculum and pouring its contents all over Irene. This seemingly holy woman, and watch her scream and shout. Bubbling under the horrifying magnitude of unholy things that were truly contained within that very disgusting cup.

She thinks Irene would look cute, covered in nasty muk.

BB unfortunately was that kind of person. ]

BWEH!!!

[ Theatrics, it does take her a moment to try to swallow air. Damnable human body and all. Locks of her purple hair drag down across her making her look like a mop hanging upside down. ]

Kyaaa~~ not the panty shots!!!

[ This is the girl who literally purposely aims the camera under her so everyone can see her underwear - shut the fuck up. ]

Wow youre really into me, if youre trying to throw me up so high and take a look at my panties? You could just ask Irene-chan, you know~~? [ BB is, delightfully - although painfully. Hanging in the air and letting herself wiggle about trying to playfully escape. ] Ne, ne ~~ Irene-chan~~! You are so cute when youre angry, and full of disgust. You should know better though, then to throw your anger at someone who literally exists just to piss you off?

Huh?

[ Her voice is dark, and her eyes are red and she is cooing at her with some loving regard for whatever insane reason. ]

I didn't think you were that easy, but I am glad we can have fun.
