(OPEN) probably the least secret secret meeting, all things considered

WHO: Setsuna F. Seiei ([personal profile] elswhisperer) & you!
WHAT: The code word log!
WHERE: City Hall Park
WHEN: July 12
WARNINGS: N/A


[ Over the course of the past few days, you may have noticed simple, nondescript flyers posted here and there across the city. All handwritten, they list a location (a particular statue in the City Park) along with a time and date (3:00 PM, July 12). Below that, an extremely brief message:

For establishing safe communications.

- moment.


On the day of, you'll find a young man in a red scarf waiting by the named statue. He has with him sheets of blank paper, pens, and pencils. ]


My name is Setsuna F. Seiei. 'Moment' from the network. The purpose of this meeting is creating a way to safely disseminate information to each other all at once. If one of us found an exit, or determined the identity of our captors, we'd be jeopardizing ourselves by revealing it openly over the network. At the same time, the network is our most efficient method of communication. We need to make the most of all the tools at our disposal.

We can accomplish that with the use of code language. One that's not complicated; that anyone could remember and pass along. What that code is and what we want to communicate with it is something one person can't determine for themselves. That's why I wanted us all to meet.

Without cooperation, we're not gonna get anywhere.

[ ooc: just a couple things! go ahead and mingle/threadhop as you like (especially bc i may not be the fastest tagger rn), and if setsuna has already mentioned to your character that he's been working on something, feel free to assume he left some kind of vague message about checking flyers over the inboxes or smth. ]

( what's wrong with her haircut, it's fine, it's great even-- not as great as her ever-present smile but all the same! )

Have you ever wanted to see someone again so badly, or wished they were by your side... and then by some wonderful chance, one of those happened? That's what I mean by calling. ( if the city is alive and has a will, it can want people to come. simple as that. ) I'm not saying it holds any water, though. Just throwing an idea out there.

I think secrets make people feel better, [is all he really has to offer about that aspect of all this. He can't help but remember the staunch adherence to calling each other code names, a year ago on the Gigantic, even if it had been ultimately pointless in the end...

People need something to cling to. He shrugs, though; he'll let it go.]


You see the handcuffs guy? He wouldn't admit to what he did, but there must have been something. But that's an idea; I did talk to handcuffs guy about trying to get cuffed on purpose and having a bunch of people keep watch, to figure out how they do it... That's kind of both ideas in one?

[And he doesn't think he needs to say this, but also he's still going to say this,] I believe the other guy talking about murder online, though. No need to test that one.

[He stands there for a second...]

...Oh. What the hell, this is your idea...

[But he'll go fetch OBTAIN(!!) some paper and a pen. It's one of the flyers for this very meeting, just flipped over, that he returns with.]

Okay, now where do we start?

[ don won't speak on the validity of the files, if they work or not, though she knows if they do -- rather, she'll speak up at the question, short despite her loud, cheerful tone. ]

Nay! Not as of yet, in any case -- it has been only those who inhabit this city at the moment, and the sole electronic communication we have received has been in the form of questions answered by the kiosks as well as the ones we answered prior to stepping off the train.

[ ... though, ]

I must ask, then, if we perhaps we should speak on the matter of those question? The ones asking our business in this place and what not.

( okay.

it's two columns, separated by a perfectly straight line she's just Drawn. she's good at them. )


Question asked... Information on memory loss. Answer given... Memory loss is related to crime. Question asked... What counts as crime? Answer given...

( ... )

Hmmm. The exact wording escapes me, but it was something about illegal acts or offenses against morality.

( her other questions, when she passes it back to him, are such:

3. Who enforces the law? | No information on law enforcement.
4. Where are the other kiosks located? | Blacked out. )
gripper: that backs up your thoughts to the cloud (14)

[personal profile] gripper 2023-07-14 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)

[ OH? IS THAT SO? SO IS SHE, FUNNY ENOUGH.

don's giving her one of those two fingers to the eyes, pointing at kromer looks. watch it. do not order her squire about. ]
coolerjunpei: (but if he watched back to the future)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2023-07-14 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dang he really was just sent to fetch huh... He crosses his arms and Watches, frowning. The kiosk questions he asked, uh, were not really questions, because he was having a bad morning, sooo-]

I asked it how to make pancakes. [....] It gave me a recipe.

[While this is genuinely what he did, it's also now part of The Bit since he's keyed into some Important Details in the past two minutes!! Which is to say, Don being petty. Ahem.

......But also,]


Uh, do you want to add somewhere that they're empty? So where all these answers are coming from is something that should get asked...
gripper: eat up, if you're lucky you won't rot (07)

[personal profile] gripper 2023-07-14 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
( not gonna even acknowledge it tbh )
gripper: truth or false, it's the logic that dictates it all (15)

[personal profile] gripper 2023-07-14 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
( don quixotontería is her name--

5. Recipe for pancakes | A recipe for pancakes )


...Are they. Fascinating.

( you learn something new every day. she should've considered a third column for "things to ask" but it's fine...? she'll start it in the corner.

Things To Ask:
1. Where are these answers coming from? [As the kiosks are empty.]

perfect! )


There we go. As you can see, I only went after my incident. ( murder. the murder. ) I haven't been back since, however.

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-07-14 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ People appearing that you want around? Sounds fake.

But it makes about as much sense as anything else, a kind of thinking that Robby steps in and out of wanting to get involved in. So he shrugs, a listless yet hopeless thing that takes Robby's gaze away from the woman.

Someone else might have better things to say about living cities, but it isn't going to be him. ]

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2023-07-14 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yay, he's contributing... You know, maybe this list could use more math. It's a little dull as is.]

Incident...? [Hang on, let him reread these listed questions--] Oh, huh. You're her. From online.

[Murdered Girl. The connections are finally being made, he Understands, wowza. Gregor was not kidding about the hair. Wack.]

.... [but even mean girls his new pals don't like probably don't want to keep talking about getting murdered?? so,] I haven't been back to the kiosks since the party. Not like they're gonna update if they're empty.
strongroots: (buy some tea)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-07-14 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...yeah, Robby read about those. ]

...so, city knows if someone gets murdered. [ But did it happen where there's cameras? is what his mind thinks, and where that thought is staying. ] Vandalism gonna get us in trouble? Is anyone gonna find out if we do it where there aren't any cameras?

Maybe this place expects us to be good little citizens. [ It doesn't explain other parts, the things that can't be explained by cameras, that can't be described like magic, but--Robby takes a breath, lets it out. ]

But we sure, like, nothing's been done to us? I mean, people see a mist if they try to leave the city, then they just go in circles? People losing their memories?

[ Isn't that weird too? ]
