[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]

[He makes a truncated sound like he was going to try and talk, and then realized what a bad idea that was.

Bite through it?! How? Where? It's a foot-long string of cheese! How did so much cheese fit into one bite of pizza? This is preposterous, he thinks, tugging the cheese string out even farther, but to no avail. This dish requires real problem-solving skills. How do peasants even manage such a thing with their intellects . . .

Finally he grabs the string with his other wing and snaps it that way, and manages to get the rest into his mouth, hunched over in embarrassment.

SHOW'S OVER, FOLKS. (His mouth is still full, though.)]
adornmental: (yo!)

[It's so hard not to turn around and look. It's so hard... But he perseveres, if only to save this poor embarrassed bird from having a little embarrassed bird fit.

He'll wait a little while longer before he does spare a glance, at least. Ah, it looks like he did manage to successfully nab himself that bite!]


Not bad, right? The taste, I mean!
debossy: (his dick is a mushroom please advise)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-03-04 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
It was not even remotely worth the trouble of that! Do you people cope with that hideous mess every single time you take a bite?!

[But . . .

It actually was pretty good. The bread part was so poofy and soft, the cheese so melty—it's kind of like fondue with tomato sauce. Hmmmmm.

Pizza would probably be a lot better on a stick.]
adornmental: (NYAHAHA)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-04 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
We get used to it so it gets a little easier to handle!

[Now he's looking back over, and he's definitely amused, but he's trying to be at least a little courteous about it... Like, 5% courtesy going on here. Maybe.]

But if it's super tough, you can eat it with a fork and knife if you really need to. No one will judge! Out loud, anyway. ...Probably.
debossy: (what is this. what are you doing?)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-03-06 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
Nnnnn . . .

[As if. He takes another bite, defiantly. He is going to eat this pizza like a commoner if it's the last thing he does. He's certainly not going to be looked down upon by peasants for his lack of skill with their food!

At least this time he realizes he needs to snip the cheese with his beak immediately upon taking the bite. And with that done . . .

With that done, actually, this isn't a terrible experience.]


—Ah. I see.
adornmental: (gotcha!!)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-06 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[SAKUYA has mastered the fine art of eating pizza, equipped with only one (1) pair of wings! +10 charisma, +10 understanding of the peasant life! Kashuu looks a little pleased.]

See? Not bad, right? Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. I mean, sometimes even pizza vets end up getting cheese on their face, but it's nothing a little napkin action can't take care of.
debossy: (Maid Day is a very dangerous day.)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-03-08 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I hardly think all of this trouble is worth it simply for the sake of tradition! It would make much more sense to use a fork! . . . But the taste is not unpleasant.

[That's kind of like a compliment. After a beat, he also expresses something kind of like caring:]

. . . You are well, after that recent debacle?
adornmental: (winter is bullshit)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-08 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Then use a fork! Might as well just eat it however you feel like it if you're gonna eat it at all, right?

[After all that fuss he made about using utensils, too... But he seems pleased that the pizza has earned its seal of approval!]

Ah— [And then looking a little surprised by the question.] Yeah, I'm fine. What about you?
debossy: (because life is precious.)

[personal profile] debossy 2016-03-09 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
They will not get to me so easily as that!

[That means fine. He poofs up. See, fine!]

I simply—wondered if you were intact. That is all there is to it. And, since you decided to attend, I can only assume you now are as resolved as I am to overthrow our tormentors!
adornmental: (oh?)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-09 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty strong then, huh?

[Gentle teasing... How can he resist!! Though the comment earns him a quirking smile that seems just a little sharper than usual.]

Mmmhm. I mean, I've never liked CERES, don't get me wrong! But it's time for me to stop taking it easy.
