[Open] Underground Meetings Literally Underground
Date & Time: WAY BACKDATED to February 15th with Morning / Afternoon / Evening options
Location: The catacombs which look cool if you forgot (cool is important)
Characters: Kido, Kano and anyone who wants to stop by for a gang meeting! You're free to assume your character was spoken to if you want, too. Handwaving the recruiting is cool with us. Or your character can just happen across them?? Whatever works!
Summary: Kido and Kano have been recruiting for their gang, the Mekakushi Dan, and now is the meeting. Feel free to mingle! Become a gang family.
NOTE! They would also inform characters to stick around for the evening meeting if they want to hear something more serious.
Warnings: Uhmmm none that I can think of!
Morning Option:
[The morning is the most relaxed. Kido and Kano have a lot of work to do when it comes to cleaning up the catacombs! Of course, they had to pick a larger area not too far in, away from the sewer areas so it isn't as damp and gross. It's still cold, though. They put up arrows so no one would get lost even though it doesn't take much to find the area.
There aren't chairs or anything like that to sit in but bricks and old rocks are being cleaned up to make sitting space. Also, there's soda and various snacks sitting on a particularly large rock.
Come help if you want and possibly get some early information out of them!]
Afternoon Option:
[After running around, chatting with all the newcomers Kano's decided to speak up. Now's an excellent time to get down to business! He's hopped onto one of the rocks to elevate himself (being short is hard) and shouts:]
Hey, hey! [He waves his hand rapidly in the air.] Ah, first--thanks for coming, everyone! We wouldn't have known what to do with all these snacks if you guys didn't show up.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding! But really, we appreciate your interest. Let me explain what we plan to do!
When most of us arrived we were a little overwhelmed. I knew I was. Being dropped into another world is a pretty heavy experience, right? Some of us weren't sure where to go or who to turn to! It's a very disheartening way to begin a new life. [Kano snaps his fingers.] So! We, the Mekakushi Dan, will help those new transports!
Whether it's through food or clothes or even umbrellas, we'll lend them a helping hand and show them that we care. We'll be the welcoming committee that Exsilium doesn't have, the newbies' unofficial family! With your help, we'll help them settle in and ease into their lives here.
We're open to ideas, so if you have any... feel free to shout them out!
Evening Option:
[By the time things wind down and it's getting dark, Kido steps up. She's perfectly at ease with this part of things. When she speaks, it's in her usual gruff but serious tone.]
...I don't know how much you guys know about the Initiative but they aren't praiseworthy. It's a war, so no one is clean, but they haven't treated us the best. It isn't just this. I've been looking into the network and past posts. I'm not going to tell you what to think or how to act towards them, though.
[She shoves her hands into her hoodie pocket.] What I'm saying is that I'm putting us first. We need to keep an eye on anyone that might threaten us, that might use us or hurt us. So, if you want to help with that or you're interested in looking closer at these Initiative people and the ones they're fighting, we'd appreciate the help.
It's your call. If you only want to be part of the community help, that's fine. But you know at least what Kano and I are going to be doing. We'll keep you updated if you want, too. We're going to keep you guys safe as best as we can from anything.

Hey! [A beat, enough to smile.] I really like what you said up there, I think it's a good approach.
no subject
Ah, thanks. I'm not exactly distrusting but I'd rather take care of us first, you know?
no subject
no subject
[Kido doesn't like the idea of forcing anything on anyone.]
no subject
[She shakes her head then, as if to reassure her that it was alright.] It does, a little, but I don't mind. It's just-- there's other people I care about too, outside of the... gang [that still felt too weird to say aahh], so I want to make sure they're being looked after too or that they won't be too worried if I told them I was off doing sneaky things on weekends.
no subject
[The reason is a little grim if she thinks about it too hard. Kido prefers knowing who to prioritise in a bad situation. Though she feels like she's been too intimidating again...]
Ah, but sorry if that sounds too serious.
no subject
She laughs a bit, sheepish.]
I'll let them know, but I feel like I should mention that they can be a little... intense. Sometimes not in a way that's easy to handle.
no subject
Difficult people are my specialty. If I backed down so easily, I wouldn't be a good leader.
no subject
I'm glad. [a beat.] I hope we can become good friends too, leading and serious topics aside.
no subject
...Even though I'm the Leader, you don't really have to think of me that way if it makes it weird. We're probably about the same age and like the same things. Well, probably.
no subject
no subject
Ah, I like stuff like reading magazines or finding something on tv... But mostly going out and running around the city with my friends.
no subject
I'm with you on music and going around with friends, though! Where I'm from, skating with these sorts of motorized skates is a big thing, and I really love doing that without worrying about much else.
Mm, is there any specific kind of music you particularly like?
