[OPEN TO ALL] 2nd DEFENSE MEETING
Date & Time: Nov. 10th, early morning to late afternoon/evening
Location: Near the Botanical Gardens
Characters: EVERYONE AND ANYONE. Ehether it was previously arranged with Fiona, someone else did the convincing, or they just happen to be around at the right time.
Summary: Second Defense Meeting. Some chatting, some sparring, a little showing off, and everything in between.
Warnings: Swearing and violence, very yes.
[Only problem with trying to have the meeting near a botanical garden is unfortunately the spacious non-elevated scenery. At least last time there was rubble to hop on, but no matter. Near the front of the gathering crowd, Fiona will do what she can to find something to stand on and if that’s not enough she’ll tap her staff loudly onto the ground and it’ll produce a bright light for a moment. Hopefully it’s an attention grabber.]
Thank you everyone for coming to our second defense meeting. For those of you coming again and those of you here for the first time, welcome. Although this place itself is hardly one to be welcomed to, I am glad to see others here. We are trying to be a united effort and for this I say welcome to. I’m Fiona and I’m the one who has been coordinating the meetings thus far.
[A short breath as a small bitterness creeps onto her tone of voice] As I can never stress enough, those Initiative bastards here are unorganized fools who trip over themselves while we are expected to win this war of theirs for them. Although they have made some improvements since the recent battle they still lack any generals or commanders to guide us. We are our own guidance and our own defense andit is up to ourselves to keep each other safe and deliver a blow on this enemy of theirs without sacrificing each other to do so.
I won’t lie to you, this defense may not only be one against the UE. In past months the Initiative has performed… tests on those they’ve brought here. These tests have been harmful to us, from poisoning to using our own memories against us. Whatever mishap or cause that they may claim to have brought these tests about still proves their incapability to defend the very soldiers they’ve brought here unwillingly to fight. However just their cause may be, we are on our own to defend ourselves. From whatever may come against us.
For the meeting today, I hope for everyone to get to know one another. That is our greatest disadvantage. We are all from different worlds where some have magic, or technology, or neither. It is impossible to predict what each other are capable of and that is why we must learn. If we do not then lives may be lost for what we never cared to know.
Our third meeting to come we will be deciding our leaders. For as it stands there are none.
Each person attending our meetings will be able to nominate a person they see fit to lead those around them. But they will not be able to nominate themselves. Three nominations and others may vote for them. Those nominated will be allowed to make a short speech during the meeting’s time and answer questions to those concerned. At the end of the meeting we will vote. And hopefully we will have five leaders by the end of our third meeting. These leaders will be choosing groups that the rest of us will adhere to. Come our fourth meeting, we will see if the chosen leaders are the ones right for their positions and if the groups made are truly capable of defending one another.
We will not allow each other to fall.
[She’ll take a moment to look around then before nodding. At least it appears that most were listening.]
Thank you all for coming.

[He seems amused by this, but only partially.] My name is Blaine. You are?
no subject
[ He's going to take his chances and unpause the card game on his tablet now. ]
The name's Caesar.
no subject
[Watching you play your game and probably not going to poke at it again. Probably.]
What are you good at?
no subject
[ He drags cards into place on the screen, sometimes pausing long enough that it's apparent he's considering his next move in the game. ]
Hmm. I've been told I'm great at wasting time before. Does that count?
no subject
[Caesar is pausing, and Blaine's drumming his fingers on the table quietly and not reaching over to nudge the cards in place; except when he does because he can.]
It does. Wasting time is more fun than the work anyway.
no subject
[ Any time Blaine makes a move for the tablet, Caesar will hit the pause button. He's going to be good at that by the end of this, isn't he? ]
You know, I bet yours has the same game on it.
no subject
[ Yes, because Blaine's going to move his hand just to make him pause it and not go for it at all. Except when he does. Totally ignoring your second point. ]
Do you think they picked people for their skills or did they just get whoever their machine picked up first?
no subject
I think only they can answer that kind of question. It could go either way. Some people here seem like complete and utter civilians, while some obviously aren't, but you'd need to go talk to them to be sure. Maybe everyone is secretly a skilled warrior.
no subject
True enough. Are you a skilled warrior?

[Gonna keep sitting at the table and turn his attention to the people talking.]
