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!)

I think meetin' up after we're given an incentive is a good one, but since we're...you know, doin' that...

[ She's not 100% sure. How do you talk someone out of something they won't admit to having committed to? If someone here has. ]

...Spending more time together as a group ain't a bad one, either. If we start eatin' our meals around the same time together instead of whenever the fuck, it might help us trust one another a little more, you know? I think at least with Undyne, the fact that she didn't trust us...helped that to happen.

. . .

[Cue the nocturnal party member drinking from a wine glass full of blood with a deadpan stare.]

I don't exactly think all our schedules will line up.

[sunsong]

[ DIO... ]

Well, we can always just have dinner with you, Godzilla. [ THAT'S...SOMETHING, ISN'T IT? ] Uh, breakfast?

[midnightsea]

I have a name, you realize.

[sunsong]

Perfectly aware. Godzilla's your nickname, though.

[ she should probably sass the vampire less, but yolo ]

[midnightsea]

I find it remarkable that you're trying to foster some semblance of friendship in the same breath that you're irritating me to no end.

[sunsong]

[ HE...HAS A POINT... ]

You've never specifically asked me not to call you by a nickname, you know! Geeze...

[midnightsea]

Fine: just use my first name. Is that black and white enough for you?

[sunsong]

All right, all right. Sorry for botherin' you.

[charcoalfeather]

[From the side.] It is?

[sunsong]

'Cause he's so tall!

[charcoalfeather]

So... you mean that's what you call tall people?

[charcoalfeather]

[Rakka listens along, thinking quietly to herself before she even decided to reply to that.]

Well... if we're all staying as a group, what will we do then?

[sunsong]

What we've been doin' I guess? Like...our games and parties and stuff. I think the better we know one another, the better we'll do here.

[forcegalactic]

If we can get everyone to cooperate. It's easy enough gettin' us together to eat if we're havin' dinner parties every night, but it ain't feasible. [He would never have free time again.] Then you got these meetin's, but I don't think anyone has a good time at those.

[oftheland]

Well, there's always something like Truth or Dare, right? I suppose that might be a little... frivolous to some of us, I suppose, but I think having something similar every so often would be enough.

[forcegalactic]

Yeah, but while it's fun to watch, it's embarrassin' for participants unless you ask the right things.

[Like...telling two people to kiss each other. The ability to give out dares is a beautiful power, but he has to be careful in planning them.]

There should be more things that don't take much time to prepare. Why this room? Why not a day at the shootin' range?

[ninehundredlives]

You want to teach more people to use those bows?

[Mordecai it's bad enough that we're all armed to the teeth with machine prizes]

[forcegalactic]

There's not enough crossbows for everyone.

Anyway, I'm tossin' out other things we can do together. I doubt libraries and first aid rooms are the best place to throw parties.

[ninehundredlives]

There's the ballroom.

[Offered diffidently, because while it doesn't bother her to the point that she won't go in there...well, that IS the death room.]

Or we could just go spend time with the chickens.

[sunsong]

Uh, I got a bunch of go pieces? So if we make a board, we can play that. And...well, we can all think of stuff to do, surely. Tell stories to one another, sing songs, whatever. What's important is that we make opportunities to get to know one another better, right?

[oftheland]

Or if you have no sense of shame, of course. That can be helpful.

And honestly, that doesn't sound half bad. We could probably set something up between the gym and the dojo, too... an obstacle course of some kind, maybe?

[forcegalactic]

[Like you, Giovanni? Don't assume Mordecai doesn't have shippy dares in mind for the next time you play.]

Never was fond of sports and those kinda games, but if we must, I can try.

[oftheland]

[come at him, bro]

It'd be something different than usual, at least... though, it's best to come up with more options than just that.

[forcegalactic]

Well, I set up the dinner party, now it's someone else's turn to come up with a community event. You're volunteered.
