RESISTANCE MEETING 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

[decrees]

[Like last week, the conference room is set up with enough chairs for everyone (two less than last week) but there isn't any food provided because of the uh... dinner party. Hopefully that didn't go so poorly that the entire group has been split or anything, that would certainly suck.

But once again it's time to discuss the state of things here. Logan's in the same seat he was last time at one end of the table. He's particularly distracted today and he can't seem to focus on that book he's been carrying around, so he'll start things a little earlier today.]

As I'm sure you all know, this week's incentive could easily motivate someone to attempt to murder someone. We need to discuss the state of things here - has anyone found anything since the last meeting? Nighttime patrols have been discussed and I believe Giovanni was handling that. Do we have any other ideas for how we could prevent any more deaths?

(OOC: Like last time, treat this post like a trial - threadjack and go crazy!)

How the heck did ya figure all that out?

[Hibiki's mouth is open, shocked. She...feels pretty damn useless right now.]

He told me he really doesn't like lying...is it really all true?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I just write to him, get answers back. If I don't understand what's going on, I like to gather information.

[She also. Thinks he might be starting to come to like her, if her returned ring is any indication. Instead of puffing up with pride, Ashley kind of sinks into the parka even more.]

I...I don't think he's lying. Everything he's written back seems to line up.

[nankurunaisa]

That never even occurred to me! All I did was ask him about Hamuzou...

[She sighs! Again, she feels like the stupid one in the room.]

...What do ya think about that new rule, Ashley? The one about confidentiality. We're not gettin' in trouble when we talk about this stuff, are we?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

...No. Just if we ask him what others wrote about. I'm sharing all of this myself, so no one should get in trouble.

[Don't fret, Hibiki.]

And, I mean, I understand. First thing I did was ask about...uh, Josh. [Ha...] So, it's okay. I just...cope this way, or whatever.

[nankurunaisa]

I hope you're right. There's probably no other way to get information unless we find somethin' like Jean did.

[Which reminds her of another thing, but. Later.]

You're really impressive, Ashley. That's the kind of info-gathering I'd expect from someone so good at studying. I could learn a lot from you.

[She says this with admiration. She really is impressed.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[She pulls the parka a little more around herself and flashes a hesitant, but grateful look.]

Thanks, Hibiki. I could always, you know...try tutoring you, some time.

[Tutoring on how to get information out of your captor. That's something she could put on her resume.]

[nankurunaisa]

Hehe, I'd take any tips you have for me! ...but now I'm kinda feeling like I made a mistake in bein' so mean to the Conductor. I doubt he'd tell me anythin' if I asked...it'd look really suspicious if I started bein' nice to him.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I mean, I freaked at him last week and just apologized for it and I got even more, sooo.

[nankurunaisa]

What? Seriously? It's that easy? And here my only plan was to interrogate the chickens...it sounds like there's a lot more I should be doin'! I don't want to let anyone down.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[...]

Interrogate the chickens.

[nankurunaisa]

Mm! I can understand animals. The more I know 'em, the better. I mentioned it at the trial, but I guess you didn't hear, huh.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I was a little bit preoccupied, yeah. I- well, you know what? Why not. I think it's a good plan.

[After Undyne and Dio and Tabby's entire existence, she's willing to accept literally everything.]

[nankurunaisa]

If I can learn anythin' that can help, I'm gonna try it! Every little bit will help, that's what workin' together is about.
