[Open] There's a Point Where It Tips, There's a Point Where It Breaks

Who: Everyone in Cerealia who figured out the code words for this meeting
When: Evening of IC 5/31, after Hawke's network post
Where: Sanctuary
What: "A pizza party" aka a meeting about the new masked figure that appeared.
Warnings: N/A, maybe some talks about what Alien-kun had to say, etc.


[It's evening by the time Hiro gets to the Sanctuary. Anyone who had seen him this morning will have spotted him with Baymax, both of them sans their normal armor and Baymax carrying what looks like a giant box. They had preparations to make, after all. He makes his way in and out of the building a few times but by the time the first of their guests arrive, everything's set up.

Upon entering the Sanctuary, Baymax moves to stand guard and collect your CereVice in a box at the door. Please don't cheat, he doesn't like when people aren't playing fair. In exchange for the CereVice, you will receive a form and a pencil before Baymax cheerfully waves you away.

Hiro's sitting on a table at the head of the lounge watching people come in. Hawke had promised these people pizza and cake (Hawke why) and he's delivering on that promise. The stack is about as tall as he is, more than enough to feed everyone who's shown up. He waits until a majority of the people show up before he clears his throat to gather attention.]


...uh, hey! [Well. That's a great, confident start.] I know this was sort of last minute and everything, but I really appreciate all of you coming by and actually listening to Hawke. [Sorry Hawke. But there's a grin which says he's more than appreciative.] I know you're probably here for free food, but there's a couple of things you should know. [Sliding off of the table, he moves to stand in front of what looks like a small mechanical box.]

When we all got back a few days ago, I started thinking about the fact that CERES can watch us from...pretty much anywhere. So I took some plans for something else I've been working on, improvised a little bit and created this thing. It'll deflect the signal from our implants and block them out completely as long as we're in this room. I've tested it out a couple of time already, the whole thing gets thrown off. It's...why I wanted to meet here! Because that sort of leads right to my next point.

[There's a small sigh as he paces the room, Baymax waddling after him. He moves back to the table he'd been sitting on to pull up the mask he'd been given a while ago.]

All of you probably received one of these either from that fortune teller, Aria, or it just showed up. And while we were out there? Some of you probably found the terminal like I did and spoke with a masked figure. [A beat.] I'm starting to realize that it told all of us something different, but the most important part is that it's with the Flamine Federation. You know. The guys who supposedly destroyed our planets. Baymax gave all of you a form--um. [And here he pauses, unsure if it's really appropriate to be ordering people to share information but then again that's what they all need. He's always believed everybody needs to be aware of what's happening.] Basically I guess just...answer what you can and tack it up on the board--[A gesture to a large bulletin board he pulled from who knows where.]--and talk amongst yourselves about what happened out there? Alien...the monsters, that weird altar? A bunch of you saw that, right? What was that about?

[Dear god somebody help him.] ...look, I tried. There's free food. This is about all I could throw together so fast before something else happens here. So...yeah. Let's just start figuring out what's really happening here, okay?

[Vague hand gestures? Vague hand gestures. He shuts up after that and sort of shrinks back into his hoodie, jumping back up on the table to hand out food and keep an eye on the room. All right, colonists. You know what to do.]

[ooc: Welcome to the info-sharing mingle! The idea behind this is for characters to ICly fill out this form (coded by the wonderful Fidgey/Katsura-mun) and have it displayed for everyone to view that information. You can post your sheet in your comment or link it to a post elsewhere in your journal, or even post it in the post I made that the form's posted into. HOWEVER this is open to everyone even if your character didn't speak to the alien and just wants to check stuff out! As a note: characters will start to feel sick after about two hours in the Sanctuary due to the frequency deflector. Sorry about that! Any questions hit me up via PM or plurk at [plurk.com profile] alternatively]

[ The metal monsters... they almost killed Yu, and they did kill Dipper. Yu knows all too well the danger associated with them, and his expression is grim as Athena talks about them. ]

Anything more you can tell me about those creatures I'd like to hear. And I'd like to see the metal parts, too.

[ A beat, and, with some small confusion: ] It took your money? Wait, no, why did you threaten it?

I don't have much to share. We tried fighting it before—during the tours—but we couldn't it. In the end, Mosley had to save us.

[ as for the question... ]

And yes, it did. And we really wanted answers, so. . . you know. You gotta do what you gotta do.

[ nevermind that it was all merlin. ]
covenantal: (203.)

That was reckless! [ He's surprisingly animated about it, a little agitated and somewhat shocked. Wanting answers is one thing, but threatening the crazy, mask-wearing figure behind the terminal screen? ] You might be lucky that all it did was take your credits.
psycholawgy: (all i ask of you)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-03-06 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ she looks to the side, suddenly feeling bad for what happened. ]

It was Merlin. He seemed really angry.
covenantal: (204.)

[ Yu's mouth sets in a line. This kind of mood isn't one Athena will have seen from him. It's one he tends only to show on the battlefield. ]

He put you both at risk. There's nothing for it now, but there's no telling when the Flamines will come again. You and I are already in danger just by virtue of being maskbreakers. We don't want to give them any more reasons to want to seek us out. I hope he'll be more careful in the future.

[ it's definitely new. and while it's not exactly an intimidating kind of expression, athena would much rather see the happier side of yu. ]

What do you mean by that, anyway? What do they want from people with cracked masks?
covenantal: (157.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2016-03-06 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yu lowers his chin slightly, but doesn't look away. ]

... "Maskbreakers are put to death when we find them."
psycholawgy: (uh oh... fuck me)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-03-06 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ athena clutches at her chest, as if feeling her heart ache from hearing that. ]

No.
covenantal: (239.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2016-03-13 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods, his expression threading through with some concern at her reaction. He lifts a hand to touch her arm. ]

That's what it said to me. Whatever happens, Athena, we're going to fight back. We won't let them do whatever they want to us.
psycholawgy: (joins us for a cossack show)

i missed this i'm so sorry

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2016-03-14 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ she looks at the hand by her arm, and uses her free hand to hold it and squeeze it. thanks for being there for her, yu. it means a lot.

death is probably her greatest fear right about now. ]


We've got to act quick.
covenantal: (o12.)

laughs it's fine!!

[personal profile] covenantal 2016-03-16 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ His chest clenches to see her afraid. He'd give a great deal to prevent seeing her like this again. ]

We will. Don't worry. That's what this is for, after all. We'll fight for each other.
psycholawgy: (1... 2... 3... potato... 5...)

[ she looks down at her hands. she has no magical abilities. it's so unfair. if only ardeo granted her new abilities... that selfish spirit ho. >:C ]

I'll do my very best.
