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.

:P]No I mean like… the original residents. When they died… not that your theory couldn’t also be real but like.
[ She grows even quieter, which for most people’s standards, isn’t that quiet. ]
Like… there was this lady that… starved to death in the Library. And after she died, the Librarian appeared? And aren’t they like… always hungry? And I think she tried to bite some books too? I don’t know…
[ She digs her thumb into her palm, hard enough to hurt if she could still feel hurt under normal circumstances. ]
no subject
That makes a lot of sense actually.
Maybe that's what happens to them after death. We died and were brought here, they died and remained but in another form. Could that be why they wear masks?
no subject
[ She grins, glad she’s understood and that he doesn’t think she’s crazy or something. Indeed, he seems to be seriously considering it!!
Though she’s not sure how the masks factor in. ]
… I thought those were just like, aesthetic or something…
no subject
We can barely get people together to protect themselves, I doubt any group of divergent people is organized enough to all wear the same thing. If they were the former residents than they're all individuals.
[And it would be like herding cats.]
no subject
[ She says, a bit defensive because look. Who knows this place rarely makes sense on a good day. ]
And I mean… I think we’ve done pretty good?
no subject
In the end it probably doesn't matter one way or another, but it's an interesting side note.
Better than expected, but not as good as it could be. People both want and distrust someone stepping up to be a leader.
no subject
Yeah I guess… and I mean… I feel like we have a lot of strong personalities here? Maybe that’s why?
[ That’s honestly a bit of an understatement. ]
no subject
That's entirely why. No one here seems willing to follow another, but at least most are willing to work together, so long as no one is dictating orders to anyone else.
no subject
Well… nothing super bad has happened since... I’m sure we’ll all come together when things get dire.
[ She says with an optimistic little smile. ]
no subject
[He nods towards another group of people.]
Why don't you go share your thoughts with the others?
no subject
Uh… you could… do it for me?
[ :D ]
no subject
[Nuh-uh. That is not how it works Coraline.]
no subject
Wow uh shit I think I uh… left the oven on! Better go check on that!!!
[ YEET. ]
