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.)

... Perhaps. But there is rarely an encounter with one that we cannot come out of unscathed or, for our troubles, with something in return. Unless they intend to fight us in the first place, of course. If everyone in the City were to have the same consideration no matter their looks or status, then perhaps...

[ in truth, there's very rarely one that ends with them being hurt no matter what. sometimes nothing happens. sometimes they fight. it's only by their own shortcomings that things become painful, but don sways her head back and forth as she thinks of them.

so many, and so many yet to meet. ]

Nonetheless! Here is our friend, whom we have dubbed "The Sunset Wayfarer"!

[ lookie she's so proud ]

[worldexecute]

( given there are rivers of raw cogito that run here and there in their world, primarily the outskirts, and in particular the employees of the limbus company seem to be delving into areas that are affected by something similar to the well's effect—

she's becoming less surprised at the presence of abnormalities she hasn't seen before. come to think of it, there's no guarantee headquarters had had all of them anyway—certainly separate branches must have had their own local ones, though for them not to have any records on them is unthinkable... )

They're very bright. Your name's quite apt, too. ( sunset... very sunset-colored. ) It's probably impossible for our City to have that consideration though—that's just human nature at work. To have judgments of one another, to hold preconception based on where one is from, so on and so forth. Even learning someone was originally from a Nest or from the Backstreets of a certain District is enough to inform one of their character.

( not that angela really gives a shit about any of that. as long as you can work with her, you're fine. )

On an individual scale, it's feasible, but as a whole? ...I wouldn't count on it any time soon, at least.

[icanfixer]

[ she'll trade the sunset wayfarer for meat lantern, then -- angela gets to have the kind butterfly lover, and don gets the employee being eaten. she looks pleased with the trade too, setting it to the side as she starts on a loose portrait of a woman. ]

But it shall be reality, one day! Even if it is not in our lifetime, we can at least continue towards a future we should like to see for those that come after.

[ it's not a zero percent chance of happening. it's just impossible -- it's just difficult, but it can be done. ]

Do thee not think the same?

[worldexecute]

( angela sets her new friend aside as well and tries to think of an excuse to give gebura when she gets home today. it was fostered onto her. don quixote doesn't take no for an answer. )

It'd be nice if it happened. ( it's difficult to imagine still, but as ever, she isn't as stiff as roland about it. ) Speaking of Districts, Don Quixote.

( ... .... ...... )

Which one were you in last?

( what one has a lake omg )

[icanfixer]

The Backstreets of U.

[ kicks feet. she'll have to make do with markers, but charcoal is her preferred for this... ishmael will be her first. ]

Thou'rt curious of the Great Lake, no doubt? It is as good as the sea, or so Ishmael has said! Oh, but to see the Nest right beside it...

[ a sigh. ]

There is no clearer difference in status than the green and blue...

[worldexecute]

They just have it so blatantly out in the open?

( the divide? is there really no shielding it??? angela truly is a girl who spent her entire life in various towers, look at this— )

...I'd be furious if I lived in the Backstreets and had to see something like that every day. ( wheres the revolutio )

[icanfixer]

Well... One cannot do much about it, for if they were to touch the barrier between it, they would be.

[ ...

she's gonna take another picture and draw a ball popping. ]

This.

[ yeah. so. ]

I do agree, however! It is most miserable, my companion, and I should let to see them equalized! It is because there is such a divide that hatred is so rampant between each person, because there are prejudices and biased opinions -- my Company, and thy Library, prove that such a divide is meaningless! We are all people, we are all living things, and to act as if we differ any merely because of our birth... it is not right.

[ it's not right, but it's hard to figure out what to do about it herself. don prefers someone else figuring things out and simply pointing her in the right direction. ]

[worldexecute]

( ah. )

...Yes, I suppose so. ( mewtwo vc or whatever. ) As long as one has a common goal, it doesn't matter what the circumstances of your birth were.

[icanfixer]

Correct! Ah, I would expect such an opinion from a lady so educated and refined! [ who blackmails her. ] If only more thought as thee did -- though plenty seem to here, or so I am finding.

[ her friends.............. may but they have some interesting circumstances of their birth as well. ]
