[OPEN] DEFENSE MEETING

[uncalled_for]

Date & Time: Five days after the completion of the bombing event. Starting early morning.
Location: Whatever area is decently clear of debris.
Characters: Anyone, whether it was previously arranged with Fiona, someone else did the convincing, or they just happen to be around the cleared area at the right time.
Summary: First “Defense” Group Meeting. Some chatting, some sparring, a little showing off, and everything in between.
Warnings: Violence and swearing, I guarantee it.


[When most have gathered Fiona will find some small piles of debris to climb on so she can at least be eye level with everyone else. It’s not the biggest of groups but it will hardly do if no one can see whoever is speaking. She’ll tap her staff to get some attention.]

Thank you all for coming and taking an interest. I’m Fiona, the one who spoke on the network before. Sorry there was a delay but I appreciate everyone coming nonetheless. [Detecting a little anger here…]

If what’s happened this past week has proved anything, it’s proved we need to work together and defend ourselves and each other. Those bastards aren’t going to help us no matter what lies they feed us. They can’t defend us, they have proven that again and again. They say they’re glad we survived, but how many of us didn’t make it through this last endeavor? We’re dealing with complete fools and we have only ourselves to rely on. So we need to find a way to help each other. You don’t have to agree with all of my opinions, but at least stay long enough to try and see if this will work.

[She’ll take a deep breath] This is only our first meeting, none of us really know each other or what each other is capable of. If we actually intend to defend each other then that is the first thing we need to fix. Use this meeting time to get to know the person next to you and what they’re capable of. And if you can fight then show everyone else what you’ve got. [She’ll hold up her hand and produce a tiny ball of fire, whirl it around a moment and wink it out as quickly as she made it.] Lets not be caught off-guard by those bastards again.

[And then she'll start hopping off the debris. Ah, wait. Almost forgot something.] Thank you.


[OOC: Behold the tiny organization abilities. All right so, here’s how I’m thinking this can roll. We’ve got a little fighting and a little chatting for threads. If conversation leads to battle you are welcome to keep it to the talking thread, just maybe tack it into the subject line “Chat -> Fighting” or hop to the Battle thread! Feel free to jump in as you please, opened, closed, whatever. This is a fantastic chance for CR, spoil it rotten! And thanks for being patient with me despite the OOC delays. :)

Edit: Okay so. People are on hiatus and stuff and that's okay. If your character would happen to be here, but you just can't toss them in, try putting down a placeholder reply or something. I am gonna be doing a headcount from the tags list when this wraps up so leader picking later on is easier to handle. :)]

I don't doubt it. I feel much the same about all of these machines. It is a hard world to swallow for most of us who find ourselves in it for one reason or another.

[bratworth]

I don't think that there's anyone who's from a place that's just like this one. If there's anything that can be said about Exsilium, it's certainly... unique.

[ofthegrey]

That in and of itself seems a bit odd to me. I've spoken to several from similar worlds. That this one is so different...I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Perhaps it's nothing at all.

[That doesn't mean he's quick to dismiss the discrepancy.]

[bratworth]

Well, from what I can tell, they're only bringing people in from other realities, so it makes sense that no one is from one quite like this one. That is to say, all the people in this reality are already here.

[ofthegrey]

In this specific one, yes.

[He shakes his head. Perhaps he is overthinking it.]

At any rate, such speculation likely does us little good. What's more important is what we do while we're here. I appreciate your willingness to share your progress with hammering out a legal system here.

When there's a better idea of how that will be handled, I may be able to assist in some way.

[bratworth]

[ He nods. ]

I'll keep you updated.

[ofthegrey]

Thank you. It was a pleasure to have met you. [He inclines his head pleasantly.]

Until next time.

[bratworth]

Until then.
