[OPEN] DEFENSE MEETING

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 was raised in the court of the High King of the Noldor. You have not seen chaos until you have seen a gathering of all the descendants of Finwë discussing politics. [Her family was insane. Which is a short yet accurate summary of the Silmarillion.]

I will make no argument there; the more voices and the more eyes, the better.

[Sounds a lot like the Bannorn.]

It's a shame I'll never be able to see it at least once. I have wrestled with politics before...and though I am loathe to return to them, I would still know of how others debate in an open forum.

[That, plus a lot of ridiculous elf family drama.]

It is a sight never beheld by mortal eyes, in truth. But mayhaps I bring something of it with me; I am stubborn enough to represent my kin, I think. [And...among the last remaining. But let's not mention that.]

[She chuckles softly.]

It would be an honor to accompany you. You can simply say I'm your human guard.

[That gets an outright laugh] It would be well worth it, if only to see their faces.

[She chuckles.]

Not a fan of politics either, my lady?

I do not have the luxury of disliking politics; they are my bread and butter, so to speak. Yet there are times when even I grow weary of them.
ladyspitfire: (ᴄᴀɴᴛ | never again)

I am quite sorry to hear that. I find them fascinating when I needn't be involved.
inafadingcrown: (discussion)

[Oh, don't believe her, Elissa. She loves running circles around people.]

Has the picture I have painted been as grave as that? You need not be sorry; for the most part, I am quite content with where my life has led me.
ladyspitfire: (ᴄᴜʀɪᴏᴜs | no more second guessing)

[personal profile] ladyspitfire 2012-10-11 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, not at all.

[She smiles.]

I simply know of my own world's politics and I find them to be just as insufferable sometimes.

Yet they are necessary. I would rather wield a sharp tongue than a sword, at any rate. [And she has experience with both.]
