[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.

What happens with us stays with us~ Most of the time, anyway, ha ha!
no subject
Thank you.
[The comment from Kano gets a slightly concerned look out of her, but she doesn't address it.]
Like I was telling Kido-- you should be careful to know how to defend yourselves without using your abilities. If this place can give us weapons that change, it can probably take away what we can already do if it wants to. You should both be careful.
no subject
I was telling her it's hard to imagine being without our eyes... [To put it lightly but she would rather not dwell on how it'd actually effect her and figures Kano feels the same.] But I want us to be prepared for that. Sounds like a lot of things are temporary but... practising more fighting would be good.
no subject
Eh, so that's a possibility too, now? How troublesome, how troublesome... [Living without their eyes... that's something he's thought of before as some sort of fantasy but it's never crossed his mind as a real possibility. As nice as it would've been back home, the circumstances here are different. If anything, the only real weapons they knew best and trusted were their eyes. Internally, he sighs.]
Let's go for it, then. I'm sure that it'd help the newbies feel more at ease too if they knew some self-defense.
no subject
I know it's inconvenient, but if you were bringing a group together I thought it would be best for you to know about the possibility.
I don't know if it would be for the best for me to join your group, but I wanted you to know anyway.
no subject
Don't worry. Whether you join or not, you're a friend. You're always welcome here and the offer is always open.
Someone with experience with this...world changing thing is pretty important to everyone, though. I'm glad you're helping people.
[Nill is such a nice person...]
no subject
Yup! If anything, I'd say that you'd be more than qualified to join. But that's up to you~ We won't force you into anything.
no subject
She just... remembers being as young as they were (even if the gap isn't very big), and knowing even a little of what she might have needed to expect in the future would have made things easier. It might have saved lives. Why wouldn't she share that?
At the same time, this hasn't been her wisest move. Revealing herself to two people so quickly... It's hard to regret it, but she doesn't except it to go without consequence.]
Thank you. I think for now it might be better if I did things myself... but I'd also like to help you both sometimes if I can.
no subject
I'd like that a lot. Unofficial adviser or something like that.
[She's kidding mostly. She doesn't want to pressure her.]
no subject
If that's what you're comfortable with, then that's fine! It's nice to have someone helping us either way.
no subject
I think I could be an unofficial adviser, if you think you need one. [She knows it was a joke, but she wouldn't be against something like that. She could keep a low profile and still help out as needed.]
