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.

[He glances over at Rosi.]
Though there is the matter of possibly worse weather coming and we don't know what the winters are like here. We either need to plan fast and start going out as soon as possible, or plan more carefully, allow people time to heal their wounds, and then see what is out there if the weather is still in our favor.
[He's not sure which would be the better option -- there are a lot of unknowns.]
Is there anything in particular you would like me to continue with?
no subject
Exploration can be balanced against what we might already be able to learn or at least theorize with what we have, here, so as to focus our efforts later.

[Maes flips his notes to a new page]
The statue you may have noticed finally had a plaque in the daylight version of Beacon. Woofington Von Bone. He was also a husband and father. We eventually learned that he had three children, Pawlina, Puppette, and Barkley because we found notes written to him...unless of course their father was a mayor following Mr. Von Bone. Either way, one of the mayor's children was writing letters to their father that grew progressively more concerned and with a lot of hints that something might have been amiss. Unfortunately, the child that wrote it didn't include much detail about WHAT those issues were, just the concerns a child might have for a distraught family and overworked father.
There did seem to be hints of mass disappearances and unrest in the community that even a child was able to pick up on.
no subject
ahem. Not important]
So disappearances, and other problems, were already happening before the darkness. I see. It is, certainly, important to piece these puzzles together, so we can know the speed things progressed until the appearance of the World Easters, and the order in which it happened. I feel it will be of use to us, even if it turns out there is no way to repeat such past mistakes. We simply don't know enough to say for sure one way or the other, so we may as well work on finding out.
Thank you, general.
no subject
It could have been what led to or even exacerbated the problem in the first place. There's really no telling with just these parts of the puzzle. Did they know the darkness was coming and do something to prevent it? Or did something start happening on their world and they sought ways to fix it...not knowing what they'd be inviting in.
Either way, you're right, we NEED to learn more.
no subject
[that's the best he can do right now, without concrete plans to do either right at this instant. The meeting is for sharing ideas, after all, not settling on who's going to inventory the supplies and so forth]
