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.

And we don't have anything to use effectively do defend against them. Physical attacks we can manage, but hallucinations are something you cannot defeat by just by sheer force of will.
[They could be getting closer to something, but it's at a very slow speed. They barely left Beacon, save for a few trips to the forests nearby.
Robin's introduction made Ignis extremely angry, with the way she handled herself and the situation; especially the question that was raised about the map and the answer that followed ("It isn't fun if I reveal everything, you'll get bored").]
I hope she takes our plight down here more seriously. If the resets are done by the forest spirits, she has now felt on her skin how it was for those that had to suffer through those annihilations. I do not wish ill upon anyone that is our ally [or so she says] but if lesson has to be learned... better sooner than later.

( Matt is about as close as one could get to stubborning his way out of hallucinations, and even then he'd had them, he'd just been able to reason his way out of them. it wouldn't take much to be lost to such convincing whispers, and he can only imagine how much more difficult it would be to have visual hallucinations to have to fight through. he does worry that their continued prevalance is a sign. he just isn't sure what sort of sign.
Robin's introductory post had certainly not won her any favors, Matt hadn't been particularly impressed by her attitude at the time either. it is more a matter of time that has managed to endear him... and the reality she's still very young. it's not an excuse, but it certainly makes sense that a 17 year old wouldn't be perfect in a position as dire as the one she had. )
I don't disagree. It's valuable perspective to have, and while I don't like knowing it got that close in the first place, I can hope she learned something from it.
