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.

Soldat got information he thinks is worth sharing from a friendly spirit he's in contact with, and who you shouldn't go looking for or harass or anything. There's - I mean, a list here. Roughly condensing.
Spirits are dead, the entire world is dead - not just lacking in light, whole cloth dead. Green eyes are in charge of other spirits, attacking anyone awake was their 'job' and described by the spirit as "good, but hard". No idea what that means. They don't like us or other spirits. The good ones hide when bloodshed starts - they're spooked, too. If we fix the town the spirits will vanish entirely, somehow. We're supposed to lead them.
His working theory is they're dead former natives.
And that's about all I've got.

If we accomplish our goal, the spirits will vanish? That is, as they say...
[it's not going to stop him but he needs to be absolutely clear on this]
no subject
Products of it the way it is now, or if they're former-people, maybe just past a point of no return.
I'm -- not keen on the thought.

[a quick, respectful bob of his head] Thank you, my lady, for speaking.
no subject
The real thanks are to Soldat, but I appreciate them.
