RESISTANCE MEETING

[decrees]

[The clock chimes at 10PM as it always does, and if you're one of the people who decided to go to the meeting, you'll find the conference room is properly set up to accommodate all 27 remaining students. If you were expecting refreshments or anything then tough luck. Logan can't cook and the kitchen's closed now.

Logan has taken the chair at one end of the table because of course he has, but he'll wait until most people are gathered before speaking up.]

I'm sure you're all aware of why this meeting is absolutely necessary after that... announcement. What we need to do is share any information we have about this place and our captor. The Conductor will answer letters, but I have not gotten anything particularly useful from him.


(OOC: Consider this log to be like the trial; feel free to threadjack and comment on anything that comes up. Throw out theories and information and talk to each other about all of this stuff!)

Comments

[decrees]

...That's certainly infuriating to deal with.

[Thank god Reaver was never that bad.]

Is this something you've tried to discuss with him before? This is obviously a stressful situation and not a good time for that, but perhaps it is something you should bring up once you've returned home.

[...he's trying to be optimistic, he's trying so hard...]

[mortyfied]

He won't listen! He doesn't listen to anyone but himself! [He's a five year old in an eighty year old's body.]

But.. yeah, I guess I could try if we both make it out here alive. [There's a pause, before he just kind of. Splays himself across the table, face down onto the wood.]

W-we're gonna die here, aren't we? [It's half muffled, but audible enough to understand what he's saying.]

[decrees]

Morty, look at me.

[Come on kid, keep your head up.]

We are not going to die here. We're going to do everything we can to get out. Giving up now will do us no good. We must keep moving forward.

[mortyfied]

[He lifts his head, but just enough to where his chin is on the table, now.]

B-but two of us already died, and there's no other way out of here besides killing each other... what if someone snaps and kills us all? What if I snap and kill someone?

[decrees]

I sincerely doubt you'll snap and kill anyone.

[You're a tiny thing, please don't try to kill anyone.]

As for how we can prevent future murders, Giovanni already had some excellent ideas. While there is no way for us to guarantee that everyone will be alright, we'll do everything in our power.

[mortyfied]

[Hey wow, he's totally capable of killing someone!]

...I-I guess you're right. [Morty doesn't bother to sit up yet, he doesn't look too convinced but he doesn't want to drag the mood further down with his own insecurities.]

If we all work together, we'll make it out alive somehow, right?

[decrees]

[...sure, morty...]

Exactly. We'll continue to search for a way out. Perhaps there's something we've missed. We do have this entire floor to check.

[Maybe Jean found something while climbing the shelves, who knows.]

[mortyfied]

...yeah. Y-yeah, okay. [He finally sits up then, and gives Logan a small smile.]

Th-thanks, King Logan. Y'know, I know it was Rick's idea to have a leader and no one really agreed or anything, but I think you'd probably be the best for that job, huh? [Getting them to meet like this, raising spirits a little. Though it's no surprise Logan's good at it he's... a king.]

[decrees]

...If that is what the group believes would be best, then I have no objections.

[Admittedly Logan is probably the last person you want leading you after how badly he's fucked over Albion in an attempt to save it, but you know what. Maybe he can manage twenty-six other people. Maybe.

...It's not like he'll be able to save Albion, after all.]

I appreciate the thought either way.

[You guys all have so much more faith in him than anyone in Albion...]

[mortyfied]

Maybe I'll ask everyone about it tomorrow. [Like a survey-like thing, perhaps posted to a fridge of some sort.]

A-anyway, um.. has anything new come up about the Conductor? I kind of haven't been paying a lot of attention so.. y'know..

[decrees]

[Oh, that's... well. If that's what you'd like to do then he certainly won't complain.

(No really, it's nice you guys have so much confidence in him.)

Right, but that's something we should probably pay attention to, um.]

Right, let's focus on that. We do need to ensure we do everything we can for the group.

[But he seems pretty pleased, even if it is incredibly subtle.]
