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.

So there is a very good chance that the 'door,' as some would put it, is out there in the lake, but approaching is is impossible upon pain of death.
[at which point he looks over and gives Rosinante a really? look. You died again? Really?]
Forcing our way to it or through it seems like wasted energy. Perhaps it would be faster and easier to work out the rest of this information and solve the light issue. Though, it is good to know that we finally have a read on the source.

Yeah, especially since that bird fellow closed off the lake somehow. I can't even get my usual bath out there. I'm game for hunting down something else to try and kill me, though.
[He grins, teeth sharper than a normal human's.]
Maybe next time I'll even have the chance to fight back.
[Less of a grin, though, he adds,]
There was a very large creature in the dream with us. Lots of eyes, hands about as big as my other form. Don't suppose that's what the World Eater things look like, is it?
no subject
...hmm. Doctor Ingram showed us one picture that made them out to be, well, larger than mountains. So there is that. But the one had no hands, it was more beast-like.
[and Daylight has a picture in his sketchbook he's showing around the meeting, so there's that]

[He shrugs apologetically.]
Or just Eliot, right? Matt's more blind than I am.
no subject
Both their experiences will be valuable. I do encourage everyone who went through the dreams to speak of what they witnessed, even if there are others from the same group present. Different people may have noticed different things.
no subject
Yeah, probably did. I was more focused on the monster and on flying to notice a lot, they probably did see different things.
