Round 2 [open]

characters: Cao Pi and everyone who wants to show up
location: town hall
date/time: Dec. 8, starting at moonrise
content: Community meeting, take 2! After the Dreamer/Defender incident, there's a lot to talk about and Cao Pi has encouraged everyone to come and publicly share what they learned while asleep or what ideas they have to make the next massacre less massacre-y. Feel free to handwave catching his post or hearing about it from a friend.
warnings: none likely but lmk if that changes. Threadjacking likely; if you don't want to be threadjacked, make some sort of indication.

As before, Cao Pi arrives ahead of time to ensure the town hall is ready for a session, righting any chairs that might have been thrown about in recent melees and checking the logbook for recent information. When a fair amount of people have arrived and he can see the waxing moon rising through the leafless trees outside, he rises to begin with a short intro.

"By now we know that those who succumbed to the food at the feast had a strange experience - they shared dreams with each other, in which they found themselves seeing Beacon as it was in the past. I encourage all those who dreamed, and remember it well, please tell us all what you saw. There may be considerable clues to our purpose and progress in even the smallest detail.

"The rest of us, well. We managed to make it through and I believe those who were killed are whole again, but for our part we can go over what worked and what didn't. Defending ourselves isn't merely a matter of being trained to use weapons. The spirits which attacked were formidable, powerful. We will need more than just our strength to outlast another attack. Ideas are welcome, as is any new information we have on everything from communications to threats."

That's all he'll ramble about this time, he'll take a seat and allow others to have the floor before he makes any more grandiose speeches.

[If you can go one way in and return, it is not hard to conclude that something might follow you back.

Ignis shakes his head-]


Unfortunately no. I would've remembered if it was written. [He prides himself in his good memorizing capabilities, regardless of the short time given.] However, given the state of things in Beacon, we can assume that it could be the creatures that destroyed the light in Beacon in the first place.

Or the spirits.

[World Eaters seem to already be able to move between stars - although recalling Dr. Lutece's idea, maybe they had been bounded by whatever keeps entire universes separate from each other. Maybe they had no equivalent in this universe. But the spirits could just as easily be part of the problem. Maybe they come from the same sort of place.]

Or something that turned residents into spirits. The possibilities are endless.

[He looks bothered and has a deep frown on his face.]

If we could find the research facility, we could try to extract the log from the computer database and try to decrypt it. I don't know many who are good in computer science, but I believe dr Ingram would have a pretty good shot at it.

You said one of the machines had a museum catalog. Do you think the museum might be the research facility, and we just haven't found how to get into that part of it?

[A hidden basement, perhaps?]

It was on the same computer. Unfortunately, I do not know what the other machines are for, as my dream had ended.

As for whether the museum is a research facility- I am not sure. There was a period of time through winter where people of this place revered the scientist. They mention press and publicity coming after them. The Museum could've been built in their name to keep the items.

I was told there was a statue of someone in front of it?

A statue, huh? Those could be moved or destroyed, but good to know. I'll keep an eye out. Did you get a clear look at it?
