Week Three Meeting
[Welcome back to the Eatery. Perhaps the mood is more somber than it was during the last meeting in here, but once again there is food and (non-alcoholic) punch to go around. Quark, Wendy and Vanity occupy the head of the table, but there’s plenty of other seats for both those that helped set up and those that didn’t. Looks like it’s time to put your heads together again and hopefully sort some things out.
Once everyone’s seated and in attendance, Quark pushes to his feet.]
Alright, we’re all pretty tired after yesterday so I’m not going to draw this out. Let’s just get started. [and he motions at Vanity, before sitting back down]

WE GOT MOTIVE
[Vanity folds her arms tightly, leaning back against the counter.]
I’m not gonna fucking pretend this might not be tempting to some people, but let’s try to remember that if he could do that kind of shit there’s about zero percent chance he wouldn’t have undone his own defeat.
[Her foot taps a little, and she chews her lip for a moment.]
Also “reverse one event” is vague as hell, that could mean just about anything. Anyone else got something?
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT MURDER FIRES
[She shoots Quark a look, just for a second. ]
Could decide to kill someone, or have an accident, or- hell, one of the fucking bats could get really pissy and determined. Shit can happen, is the point.
[Her gaze scans around the room.]
If anyone has ideas on helping prevent that, now’s the time to speak up.

INVESTIGATION RESULTS & NEW INFO
[She folds her arms.]
Not just stuff about the places we all talked about poking at last meeting, anything that might be useful.
ESCAPE ROUTE & WHEN TO USE IT
At some point we might need to run. If we have supplies, weapons, and have trained our abilities maybe we’ll be safe. Maybe not. That’s something I don’t know—and that’s scary, right? The unknown. That’s why we should have some plans in place before that happens. We need to find a way out of the barrier, first, so any ideas of how to do that or other methods of escape will be useful.
[She glances around at the people gathered then runs a hand through her hair.]
Of course that also means we should talk about our breaking point. What will be the point where we decide running is better than staying?
no subject
... Well, where would we even run to? All you can see out there is the ocean.

WORKING ON GOD POWERS
COMBAT TRAINING
[Says the girl who can so far pass for a tape recorder.]
-but we should have more options available for the next time Typhon gets bored and just sends something to fuck us up. We know that’s a “when” now, not an if.
[Guy seems pretty impatient for a supposed immortal.]
A lot of us can fight already, but having everyone combat ready would be better. I’m proposing that those of us who can already fight- Saotome and Omega, NOT A FUCKING WORD- partner up with one or two people who can’t and get everyone up to speed on some basics.

I... I think mine are...more complicated than I first thought.
At first it seemed like just...healing? B-but, it could...hurt Typhon's weird zombie monsters. And then-
I kinda...discovered the other day... I can sort of...uh...bring things to life?

You all saw it with the cyclops, but mine lets me control wind. How strong it is, use it to cut and slice, basic uses like that.
no subject
You'd have to be quite close to me to extend it, I believe.

[ For a second, Ai looks like she isn't quite sure what she's going to say but then she just sort of. pops a smile and says in a surprisingly matter of fact voice. ]
I actually dunno if I even have any powers. Sorry.

As was mentioned during said trial one of the things it seems able to do is help me process information. Such as how hard a hit it look to dent the table. But I have yet to push it further.

GENERAL CHATTER
no subject
I WOULD LIKE A WORD.
[ Omega pauses for a moment, before continuing. He eyes everyone in attendance, before continuing. ]
I WOULD LIKE TO FORMALLY APOLOGIZE FOR MY INITIAL BEHAVIOR DURING MY INITIAL TIME HERE. BOTH FOR ATTACKING EVERYONE AND FOR CARRYING QUARK AND CEREJEIRA INTO DANGER. THE FACT THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A CHANCE DESPITE ALL THAT, AND HAVE CHOSEN TO SOCIALIZE WITH ME DESPITE ALL THAT MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ME. AND TO THOSE I HAVE WRONGED AND FRIGHTENED, AND CHOSEN TO GIVE ME NEW CHANCES, THAT MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ME AS WELL.
I WAS MADE TO FIGHT, AND I KNOW LITTLE BEYOND AGGRESSION. ATHENA HAS GIVEN ME A CHANCE TO BE MORE THAN THAT. TO BE...A PROTECTOR. I HAVE NOT HAD MANY WHO HAVE BELIEVED IN ME BEFORE. I WANT TO MAKE HER PROUD. I WANT VERY DEARLY TO BELIEVE THAT SHE TRULY WANTS FOR ME TO REALIZE MY POTENTIAL.
FOR ANY OF YOU WHO STILL DON'T BELIEVE I AM TO BE TRUSTED...I ONLY HOPE I CAN STILL YET PROVE MYSELF TO YOU.
[ He bows with his whole body. ]
THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU.
[ And he sits back down. ]
