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.)

[ Indeed, it is strange that there are temporarily inaccessible areas at all, and that attempting to access them prematurely has unusual results, not simply a case of finding tangible barriers. Yesod sets his pen down on the table, aligned with the upper edge of his sheet of paper. ]

I have wondered why new districts becoming accessible doesn't simultaneously allow residents to enter all locations in these areas. Perhaps, if a hospital exists in another district, it will remain sealed off like the mall until it serves some specific purpose.

[ Here, he frowns as well. Some specific purpose is, of course, likely to follow the pattern established by the events at the mall last month and the bank the month prior to that. ]

If the drone project succeeds, we may learn more in advance.

[ The total number of districts, locations of note, and so on, if not the order in which they will unlock, and whether any particular trigger influences that order. ]

[killed]

Yes, I'm interested to see what the results of that will be... Even if it doesn't work as hoped, we should be able to learn something from it...

[ He folds his arms and cants his head to the side briefly. He has his own thoughts on the potential appearance of a hospital, and it does earn a slight frown, but first thing's first - ]

Having said that, if you need any further assistance with the project please do let me know. My primary occupation is medical care, but I also work in research and engineering.

[wordchain]

[ Ah, this man has a direct interest in proper medical care facilities, then. Turning slightly, Yesod indicates Junpei's section of the conference room, specifically the "DRONE TEAM" sign. ]

Have you spoken with the organizer of this meeting? I believe he would appreciate your expertise.

[ Particularly given that Junpei seemed to be having some difficulties with the drone's design and the necessary materials... ]

[killed]

No, I haven't gotten the chance to speak with him as of yet... My, Tenmyouji-san has proven to be quite ambitious thus far.

[ But he does look over and nod, making a mental note to fix that at the earliest opportunity. He does remember him, at least, from all the rampant bouncy house stabbing. ]

... Oh, but do pardon my manners, I have yet to introduce myself. Sou Hiyori. It's a pleasure to meet you. Mr...?

[ He holds his hand out, pausing there to allow the other to fill in the blank. ]

[wordchain]

Yesod.

[ Here, he has accepted a few handshakes by now, and while he isn't quite accustomed to the direct contact yet, after many years without the need for introductions like this — and lacking a human body — he doesn't hesitate oddly before taking the proffered hand in his own. It's a simple gesture, a brief press of Hiyori's fingers, and then Yesod lets go. Afterwards, though he crosses his arms, he gives the man another nod in acknowledgement. ]

Likewise. I'll certainly appreciate your future assistance myself.

[killed]

[ It's not the firm handshake of a person well-versed in the business world, but it does well enough that it doesn't ping as awkward for Hiyori either. It's a fortunate point of progress for a person who's so sensitive to details, as he's able to note it and move on. ]

Yesod-san... It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm grateful for your assistance. The idea of a suggestions box is quite clever - have you started any other projects here thus far?
