[Closed] from the table in the corner

Date & Time: November 14th, Evening
Location: Storage room off the east end loading dock
Characters: Super Secret Mutineer Club
Summary: The first and likely only group meeting of the mutineers.
Warnings: Plotting nefarious deeds
Notes: If you're on the mutineer team for the upcoming plot, get your revolutionary butt in here.

[A: SHOP TALK & TACTICS]
[While it's a slow trickle in - arrivals are staggered to keep from drawing too much attention - by the time everyone's assembled in the storage block off the east loading bay, it's begun to feel cramped and slightly less secret than it ought to be. But Charlie supposes that might just be a side effect of getting twenty odd people in a room meant for spare parts and a general anxiety about someone running their mouth when they ought not to.

He's not necessarily happy with everyone in the room - shares a few hissed words under his breath with Chloe about 'Those are children; who the hell dragged them into this?' - but it is what it is. So time to make the best of it.]


Oi, heads up. [Already a tall man, Charlie's hard to miss as he climbs up on one of the crates in the storage room. He raises his hand, snapping his fingers a few times until the low murmur of the room falls quiet.] Alright, I'm not going to waste anyone's time here. We all know why we're here - we deserve more than the Initiative's been giving over to us and can’t waste time sitting about while they come to the same conclusion. So-- [Charlie pauses; those are a lot of faces looking back at him.] --let’s not make a mess of it, shall we?

Which means [Chloe's quick to step in from behind, taking at least some of the pressure off Charlie's impressively diplomatic start.] we all know what it's gonna take to pull through this without making it any harder than it has to be. [She glances at Charlie briefly, goes back to staring out at the gathered crowd. Just as casual as ever. ] We need to slip in, grab the transporter and hold onto it for as long as it takes for us to get what we want.

What we deserve.


[B: ~*~MUTINY MIXER~*~]
[It's not much of a party without snacks. Sure, rebellions aren't all about punch and pie, and most revolutionaries prefer to starve for their ideals, but most revolutionaries aren't Chloe and Charlie. A few crates have been stacked against the far wall to lay flat as something of a makeshift table, and once the discussion winds down Chloe heads over to set out a wide variety of-- food. Sort of. Stale cookies and bottled water, left over MRE packs with the moon's sorriest excuse for silverware.

Whatever, she tried.
] If anyone's hungry and needs a quick bite before heading out the door, help yourselves.

[Seriously for the love of god, someone eat the cookies. They’ve been growing slowly stale and crumbled in their room for over a week and Charlie can’t stomach the idea of trying to haul them anywhere else.]

And no one leave all at once. Twos and threes at a time.

Is that so? Seems you are amongst commonfolk, in that case.

[She gives a brief glance around the room before looking back to Tempest. Almost everyone she had met that was standing in this room was a hand for hire.]

I'm afraid I do not share the experience. Not in that sense.
hyanaimne: Meeting. (Aelou.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-14 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
So it seems.

[she tilts her head, curious, and shifts enough so she can face her more] No? What did you do, then?
miscreant: ({ no longer the same; ❄)

[personal profile] miscreant 2013-11-14 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing particularly exciting.

[Or legal. But she won't go there.]

I prefered a quiet life after the bulk of my military service was completed.
hyanaimne: Storm bringer. (Arrn’ess.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-14 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Military? Really?
miscreant: ({ i'm falling apart; ❄)

[personal profile] miscreant 2013-11-14 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. Surely you don't believe they returned me to life to simply live it.
hyanaimne: Do you yield? (Lle lava?)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-14 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
I . . . do not know? That is not very common where I am from . . .

[hell, she isn't even capable of those spells. What the hell??]
miscreant: ({ the scars will remain; ❄)

[personal profile] miscreant 2013-11-14 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Consider yourself fortunate. Necromancy is a rather persistant problem on Azeroth. Its quite convenient, raising an army from the dead.
hyanaimne: Perhaps. (Maethe.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-14 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
It . . . sounds like it is a problem, yes. My . . .
miscreant: ({ i can feel you falling away; ❄)

[personal profile] miscreant 2013-11-14 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
It has lessened since the Lich King's fall.

[There's an unspoken "but" clause there.]
hyanaimne: Watch. (Tira.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-14 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[there's always an unspoken "but" in those sort of phrases]

I am glad that it has . . .
miscreant: ({ my walls are closing in; ❄)

[personal profile] miscreant 2013-11-14 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow she hasn't had this sort of reaction in a while. She suddenly feels a little awkward, though she'll never admit it.]

We make excellent weapons, if nothing else.
hyanaimne: Elsewhere. (Nestirtye.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-14 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you are saying that with the most biting of sarcasm.
miscreant: ({ black out the sky; ❄)

[personal profile] miscreant 2013-11-14 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Slowblinking.]

Actually, I am quite serious. Do you think me fragile because I am dead?
hyanaimne: Storm bringer. (Arrn’ess.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-14 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I am not saying I think you anything like that. But I am not one to think of others as weapons, no matter how skilled they may be.
miscreant: ({ i'm falling apart; ❄)

wow fat fingered all up in here

[personal profile] miscreant 2013-11-14 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. Seviilia won't fight that logic. She's tried enough times to know there's no point in it.]

Perhaps you may better understand, once this is all said and done.

hyanaimne: You go first. (Lle auta yeste'.)

i hear you

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-15 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I have been called a weapon before. [back when she first met up with a certain someone and her life went downhill again] I am just not fond of the idea.
miscreant: ({ i'm all out of breath; ❄)

[personal profile] miscreant 2013-11-15 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. But I was returned to life for the specific purpose of being a weapon. I'm rather comfortable with the label.

It is not a lifestyle I would recommend for the living -- even those with long lives ahead of them.
hyanaimne: Watch. (Tira.)

[personal profile] hyanaimne 2013-11-15 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Well, if you are comfortable with it, I apologize if I have offended you.
