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.

[ daylight nods, looking determined now. ] Right! I'll keep my eyes out for the documents when I travel then, Mr. Ignis!

I-I don't know how to decrypt them as well but- My grandma's job as wall about this sort of thing. If we can find the documents, there's a good chance we can... we can... [ daylight makes a little gesture with his servos, trying to mimic the word he's struggling with. since it's exact term isn't coming to him, he tries to talk it out (mostly to himself) to recall what he knows: ] The thing that helps encrypt it in the first place. A, um, parameter or piece of information that helps determine the functional output of the cryptographic algorithm. It specifies the transformation of plaintext into ciphertext, and vice versa for decryption algorithms.

[ oh! wait! he knows the word! ] A key! That's it. If we find the information, we might have luck and find the key.
