INFO MEETING
[In Setsuna's absence but wanting to continue the usefulness of the info-sharing Secret Meetings, Junpei has taken it upon himself to spread the word about the newest physical meeting place. As before, nondescript handwritten flyers are posted around the most heavily trafficked areas of the city (with a scattering more in apartment buildings and less-popular areas), all reading roughly the same thing:

Infosharing time again. Under new management?

Come as you are, buzzkills only allowed if they bring snacks. 2nd floor conference room in the office building across from the bank.

junpei

It was cool when Setsuna could leave his mysterious network username but unfortunately Junpei is still living with his fool-ass choices... Regardless. It's dated for the afternoon of the 14th, and on the day of, Junpei has brought paper and writing supplies and a clipboard and a cardboard box for fun later to the conference room.

He's holding the clipboard because it makes him feel important, and occasionally flipping pages to squint at it while people wander in. Eventually:]

Uh, hey—Junpei here. If you were here last time, you know what this is about already, buuut if you weren't: we're planning, more or less. All of our information is spread around, so... this is an effort to get it all in as many heads as possible, when more of us inevitably disappear without a trace overnight.

[Ahem. Okay,] Last time we were also planning some projects, and Setsuna was going to help me make a drone to explore the parts of the city we can't physically get to, but he's gone, so... I'm taking applications for Drone Team?

[..........,]

That's all I've got. Let's mingle and do some info-magic.



(OOC PORTION: hello, please treat this as a FREE MINGLE and post TLs to your heart's content. Infosharing is the main goal but if you want to recruit ICly for a Project, feel free!! There are also SNACKS ABOUND. enjoy.)

[ oooooooooh request time. she hums, swaying her feet from side to side in thought. ]

Thy favorite animal!

[wordchain]

[ He hasn't spent much time thinking about this subject, and he doubts that he can draw animals, but he settles on a simple option in the end. It isn't a favorite animal, exactly. Rather, it has come to symbolize something different compared to the original intent, a shift in its purpose. ]

[icanfixer]

A snake!

[ ooooh!!!!!!! it's so cute!!!!!!! ]

Oh, they are so adorable! I should like to hold one someday -- they look so fun to touch. And they are simple to draw, which means one can do so, so much with their scales...!

[ they're fun to put patterns onto. ]

What makes them thy favorite? Their cute little faces? Their pleasantly shaped bodies? Or, perhaps, the way they wiggle so?!

[wordchain]

[ The reaction is simultaneously surprising and unsurprising — Don Quixote's enthusiastic response isn't unexpected, but associating snakes with this list of positive attributes certainly is. It's also somewhat awkward to explain the reasoning behind his drawing now... ]

...It was a nickname. Viper, that is. Not for the reasons that you have listed, however.

[ After all, no one thought of it because of cute little faces, or pleasantly shaped bodies, or wiggling, or imagined that he would be fun to touch. But it's nice, in a way, that Don Quixote seems so delighted.

Yesod glances down at the sheet of paper, then over at Don. ]

...Would you like to add scales?

[icanfixer]

[ ... a nickname for him? don peers at him curiously, trying to see the similarities, and supposes there's some. sharp eyes, maybe a sharp tongue to go with it considering the term "fussy" associated with him... shy little fellows who didn't want to attack others, but did so out of self-defense.

viper... cool. ]

It would be an honor do so, if that is thy wish.

[ what sort of pattern should she draw... she'll think on it. ]

Do thee like to sun thyself on rocks?

[wordchain]

It is.

[ Although he feels slightly odd, hearing her declare that with apparent sincerity. He holds his drawing out to hand it over before raising a brow at her question. The eyebrow not hidden by his hair nowadays... ]

...I have never sunned myself.

[ Unlike the behavioral thermoregulation observed in snakes, he supposes, and this applies across all lives. He is probably the pastiest of nerds, sorry Don. ]

[icanfixer]

We shall fix that.

[ determined to tan her friend, apparently. okay. she's gonna do eyes for scales, she thinks, that'll be fun. don shimmies onto her stomach and gets to it. ]

The sun is most wonderful! Truly, a good friend -- and I do not say that only because I am a child born of it... poetically speaking! I like it. It is warm, and I like to doze off beneath the trees. Have thee truly never?

[wordchain]

[ Yesod's sunbathing on rocks era, more skin exposed, burning people's eyes... He relaxes when Don focuses on the drawing instead of examining him, though he can't help but wonder what she has in mind. The park? ]

I do not dislike sunlight.

[ Nor does he deliberately avoid it, but this dimension is the first time in a long time that he and his colleagues have been anywhere outdoors at all. ]

Although Netzach may be better suited to dozing off beneath trees. That said, I agree that it sounds pleasant.

[icanfixer]

[ tree nap buddy... tempting. he is rather relaxing to be around, and don isn't adverse to the idea like she may be with some others. not because she doesn't like them, but. there's a certain level of harmlessness that she requires. nicer put, a rank of trust. ]

He is rather vibrant, just like their leaves... Netzach would seem at home beneath them.

[ maybe. just the thought anyway. yeah, like a cat on a windowsill or a snake on a rock. as the wings intended and stuff. ]

We could, perhaps, do yoga as well? I have never done such an activity before, so I should like to know more. Is it fun? Relaxing? A challenge? It is a strange term.

[ definitely nesty. ]

[wordchain]

Yes...

[ Briefly, Yesod looks a little lost in thought at that. He'd first come across Netzach asleep in the graveyard here, indeed curled up near the trunk of a tree, beneath its leafy boughs. It did suit him, a peaceful scene, until it was cut short.

Then Yesod's expression changes to one of surprise — others rarely take an interest in participating in his hobbies. ]

...I would describe yoga as relaxing, but considering it fun or a challenge are other possible perspectives. If you'd like to experience it, I'll show you a few poses.

[icanfixer]

Oooh, prithee! I shall mimic thee faithfully as I can!

[ sitting up we're putting the half-colored snake aside she wants to do yoga the drawing can WAIT she's so interested to learn something new about her friend. ]
