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.

I pray that it does as well, my lord. There was something almost sympathetic about it... it was angry and frustrated at first, but as our conversation continued, it became clear to me that they did not wish to be so frustrated.
I was not, I was awake, my lord. Ah... I should also mention that a friend and I tried to get to the lighthouse so we could investigate. It did not end in our favor.
no subject
[he's heard through the grapevine that something happened, out that way.]
no subject
[ Mistakes were made, but they were mistakes that at least could be turned into valuable information! And in the big scheme of things, isn't that what really matters? ]
We got closer than I anticipated, but could not make it all the way. I've no idea what would happen if we were to make a second attempt.
no subject
Cao Pi actually reacts for a split second, his eyes widening and his head coming up fast before he can shake it off and put the old serious mask back on]
Well. I don't doubt that you are correct, even knowing what we know now of the Keeper's situation. None of us would have anticipated flying attackers, but now we know. A shame you had to come to harm to learn such a thing, though.
no subject
Luna shakes her head at him, closing her eyes. ]
But we did anticipate it. It was during the attack. Crowley and I both assumed the worst, that there would be something lurking in the skies. And we were correct. We just had no idea how many there would be... foolishly, we thought they would be distracted with the chaos on the ground.
no subject
Of course. I see. If there were that many to respond to a threat from the air, then your conclusion seems apt. In that case, even if the Keeper may need our help, it seems like every element of this world is conspiring to keep us from actually reaching her. Well-intentioned or not. We will need to keep that in mind from now on, if anyone proposes a rash errand toward the lighthouse.
no subject
I am unsure I trust the Keeper. [ She shifts a little bit, frowning. ] I find myself going back and forth on whether or not she can be trusted. Though I've not spoken to her myself, I just cannot make a full on decision about her yet.
no subject
Yes, there is much we don't know yet, the wisest path is to reserve judgment until we have more information. Secrets are easy to keep in a place like this, particularly when we cannot always speak face to face.
I hope that you are feeling better, Lady Lunafreya. It could not have been a pleasant experience.
no subject
Indeed, I very much agree, dear friend. For right now, the best we can do is continue to gather as much knowledge and information as we can, I suppose.
You are too kind... I am feeling much better, thank you. Do you have any lingering injuries? I can heal them, if you do. Ah... did you lose anyone during the attack?
no subject
Thank you, but I fared unexpectedly well all things considered. No more than a few cuts and bruises which are fine. I appreciate the thought, but there are others with far worse experiences than I who can use your attention more.
no subject
Unlife? Afterlife. ]
I am pleased to hear that. I have seen those with horrendous injuries, both mental and physical, I'm afraid. I have also noticed that we are short several people, one of my dearest companions from home included.
