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.

[Totally come talk to him later, Cao Pi. He's absolutely game to talk about his people to anyone who wants to listen.]

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?

Hands. Claws. Whatever, they were digits on the end of a limb that had sharp things on them, but could still grab. It wasn't a paw. I don't know if it was bigger than a mountain, but it was very big.

Probably better to ask Eliot or Matt to look at the picture. I saw that once scrolling back on the network, and it just looks like a big blur to me.

[He shrugs apologetically.]

Or just Eliot, right? Matt's more blind than I am.

[Yeah, someone will have to explain to Stone that bringing up other people's disabilities is rude. He talks about his own all the time. In the meantime, he's far enough away from Cao Pi to catch the expression, and he gives him an unimpressed and vaguely confused look back. Don't show the blind guy a picture. It makes sense, to him.]

Yeah, probably did. I was more focused on the monster and on flying to notice a lot, they probably did see different things.
