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.

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.)

He believes this [ a wave of her hand, the city, ] is, ehm, a simulation! I do not know anything of them myself, which is why I cannot speak authoritatively on it.

[ SINCERELY SORRY SHE'S TOO DUMB FOR THAT LOGICAL THINKING. ]

It is not unusual to be experimented on back home if one finds themselves unlucky enough, but it is not like that. I am more of the mind of the simmy situation, as his points to it have been very convincing and I would entrust my life to him.

[ this junpei, at least, seems to be her bestie ]

[whatsamada]

A simulation...?

[That is one way to put it. Although, in his mind, he seemed a little too real to be one. However, who was he to say when there were people who experimented with the idea of using time back home?]

But for what reason would anyone want to do a simulation with people from different worlds? I know that this is a city that has no information but what's the point?

[icanfixer]

Perhaps to see how we may all get along? They seem to want us to open up and share our experiences with others, but I do not know for certain. I have found those who understand parts of my life better than I would have thought from cities that are not mine own, but and it is only a guess... but perhaps something like that. One of our number received an answer to that effect from the kiosks by city hall as well!

[ so maybe. probably. the point otherwise is ??? but maybe!!! ]

There is no seen commonality between us either, for some come from rather peaceful worlds and others not as much.

[whatsamada]

It still seems like such an odd reason as to why they want a simulation. But if it is for the sake of wanting to see how people get along, they need to a better way of doing it because it's not making anyone happy.

[But he knew that was the point. He just didn't want to believe it.]

...Unless they just want to make things worse.

[icanfixer]

Outside of such occurrences, though, it is not hard to find happiness. It is those far more peaceful times that I find my bonds with others ever-growing, though it does not make me complacent -- there are many who do not feel the same, who wish to leave as soon as possible, and I shall seek to fulfill those wishes as I am able! For, ehm, it is something I wish as well, of course, I have much to be doing back from whence I came, though, [ and this is quieter, secret, ] I shall admit to thee, young ser, that I have been enjoying this vacaciones far more than my boss should like.

[ with a wink. secret between them. okay. don'll raise her voice back normally after though. ]

Such experiments are not particularly unusual in others' experiences, and I shall be glad if they remain short-term stress tests more than anything else. If all we must do is endure them a week or so, then so be it, no? It will give us plenty of time outside of that to investigate what we should like.

[whatsamada]

[As much as Ken wanted to say something, he couldn't. No, she was right, it wasn't too difficult to find happiness. Especially when it is under dark circumstances, it was even more important to treasure it. For a moment, he let the silence do the talking about giving a small nod to himself.]/small>

I suppose so and that we should probably spend as much time as we can to find happiness here. Even it it's not what people might have wanted. I know that it isn't something I want but...I am glad to know the people here. They seem fairly nice from what I can tell.

[Or at least, that's what he hopes.]

But let's just hope that these events aren't too bad. I heard there was a pretty big fight, right?

[icanfixer]

That is correct! [ there have been a number of fights actually but don't worry about it ] And thou'rt looking at the cause of it!

[ she's so proud. she should not be so proud. but she is so proud. ]

There were those within the mall itself as well, but they were less fights and more of... chases, though one could manage to subdue them somewhat as well. And there are ever those who like to test their prowess or keep their skills sharp too! But I shall consider my gauntlet throwing and the follow-up combat as the one thou'rt speaking of, for I am rather proud of the results.

[whatsamada]

[That should not sound as cheerful as it should be. Which was why he raised an eyebrow before clearing his throat.]

Uh...I'm glad that you are? But wouldn't that mean there might be more people coming after you because you want a follow-up fight?

[Please don't fight bears.]
