Week 4 Meeting

[yourheroine]

[Whether from Quark or from Aoi, you are once again summoned to the bar for a meeting. Aoi will greet anybody who arrives and offer them either a Bloody Lukara (Tomato juice, salt, pepper, and a shot of the Not So Good Stuff) or Risan Punch (ginger ale and coconut water with a squeeze of lemon).]

Aoi made them with Quark! I put friendship in them.

[Aoi looks a little proud of herself for getting them assembled (with a lot of help, of course.) Don’t mind the various tomato juice stains on her sweater.]

It’s all on Aoi’s tab at a discounted rate, don’t worry.

INFO UPDATE

[yourheroine]

[Once Aoi’s passed out all her friendship drinks and the other usual operations have been taken care of, she raises her hand.]

Aoi thinks the meetings are good for building up our friendship points, and it’s the easy way to share key info…so! Aoi triggered an event flag!

[She’s in the real world, though, so she decides to elaborate.]

After last week’s trial, Aoi heard somebody from the Armory…it was Athena. She figured out how to get a message through. The signal is just bad where she is right now.

Athena found what she needed to fight Typhon, but she fell into a trap. We can help her if we find a key item deep in the center of this place. Aoi doesn’t know what it looks like, just that it’s in a big chest.

We should find out how to get down there so we can get back onto the good route. …without getting attacked again.

[She has not forgotten about the Cyclops slosh incident.]

MOTIVE

[latinumsbetter]

[Quark sighs, exasperated, as he leans forward, his elbows on the table. His tone is annoyed.]

Alright. Lets get the Yarnek in the room out of the way and all agree that Typhon’s just a con artist with no proof that he’s got the power to show everyone whatever it is that someone’s embarrassed about, muchless fix it. How’s that sound?

EXPLORATION GROUPS

[latinumsbetter]

[Once Aoi’s finished explaining the situation with Athena, Quark’s going to sit up in his chair a bit]

If we’re going to go delving into this place, we should do it either as a group or in smaller groups. So someone who has experience with dividing people so that it’s, y’know, balanced with their different powers or something like that needs to take that over. Any volunteers?

INVESTIGATION

[yourheroine]

[After being awkwardly quiet when the motive is brought up, Aoi raises her hand again.]

Boop boop! Aoi forgot! We unlocked a new area!

Anyone find anything?

GENERAL CHATTER

[yourheroine]

[Anything else here. Also, it’s technically a party since Aoi’s treating people to drinks.]

[markofnobility]

I agree! A mixed battalion of those who can fight and those who are exceptionally clever or have strong perception would be ideal. And many of us can do multiple roles!

[tailoredfate]

I can aid with that. I've not physically led groups out in the field in some time, as I've had to stay in Okhema to protect it for centuries now, but it's not an alien concept.

[catsgothistongue]

No duh. He's basically doing the same schtick as last week, with extra steps.

[murchada]

Mhm.

[the most distracted... agreement? hard to say.]

[catsgothistongue]

Right!

[They're talking about fighting, of course Ranma's going to be all for it.]

Each group should have at least one person who can fight. That way, if anymore of Typhon's goons show up, they can fight 'em off or protect the others.

[latinumsbetter]

Great, we can leave that to you to group us up and tell us where to go, how's that?

[latinumsbetter]

It's almost like he knows the con worked the first time and is just doing it again.

[latinumsbetter]

[that'll get her a glance from Quark and a slight frown because uh girl u good?]

[yourheroine]

Okay...

[Aoi doesn't sound quite as enthused as she does the rest of the meeting.]

[necromants]

While I am in agreement that this threat is rather lackluster after last week's, we do need to keep in mind that even if the majority agree, it only takes one person to fall prey to it.

[And they likely won't make it obvious that they're considering it until... well, until it's too late for someone else.]

[murchada]

[oh babe her ass does not even notice]

[necromants]

I do believe it would be best to leave either Seymour or myself at the base with the majority of us at any given time, given we are the two primary healers here.

[He's not opposed to wandering around and investigating or anything, but we should probably keep in mind where the healers are at any given time, just in case.]

[latinumsbetter]

[that's also getting a side glance from Quark, but he's not going to ask her in the middle of the meeting]

[latinumsbetter]

[maybe nudging her foot under the table lmao]

[yourheroine]

[Maybe she'll tell him later.]

[murchada]

[okay, that gets her attention, finally.]

...What?

[catsgothistongue]

[Worked so nice, he's doing it twice!]

He can't even be creative with his cons.

[That ain't a complaint. One person bit the fishhook cast in front of them last week. Nobody's seriously dumb enough to fall for it again. Please.]

[latinumsbetter]

You were a hundred light years away, there. [maybe his voice is lowered a little bit.]

[latinumsbetter]

[he's making a mental note to ask her later, maybe when they're cleaning up after the meeting]

[murchada]

Oh.

...I guess. Yeah.

[.........damn someone's chatty today]
