[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]

[ Jaune reads over Merlin's form, while also stuffing his mouth with pizza at the same time. It's worth noting that he also has a bandaged forehead. ]

So... [ chew. chew. ]

You really threatened it? I mean-- what did you tell them? Their counter threat sounds weirdly specific and kinda gross... [ and yet he's still eating pizza. ]

[ Yet they're both still eating pizza. Merlin glances at his forehead, raises an eyebrow, but still keeps... chewing. ]

Why not? I told them I'd find them. Set them on fire. Strike them with lightning. [ A shrug. ] What happened to you?

Hm? --Oh! That's, no... ha... it's a long story. And very long fall. A-Actually the story's not that long, heh. W-Wait, what, why did you...? Do you always threaten evil-looking aliens before trying to find out what they want?!

[ Is this guy some kind of Hawke-level badass? ]
sortileges: (9)

[personal profile] sortileges 2016-03-07 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ "A very long fall". He almost has to wonder how long that fall must be and maybe even when. Isn't it embarrassing to walk around with something stuck to your face like that? ]

I did it after asking, actually. [ He scratches his cheek with his free hand, smiling faintly. ] It didn't seem willing to co-operate.

Y-Yeah, they... I kinda got that impression, too.

...
Hey, listen, uh... [ Jaune double-checks the card again real quick. ] Merlin. What those mask-people said about hurting you, that wasn't just a figure of speech, y'know? They're... just-- violence. It's like all they are... [ Jaune sounds sure of himself because Shiho confirmed as much for him. ]

I-I dunno, I can't explain it, but... yeah. Be careful is what I mean.

[ It's strange to hear something like this suddenly, as if he didn't realise that it was probably going to come back and bite him in the ass. He took the risk, he'll deal with the consequences when they come. He's confident enough that he won't be taken down that easily, no matter how unsettling it all way. ]

I know it wasn't. [ Merlin's eyes flicker over Jaune's face, takes in the stupid band aid on his head, the almost bashful way he's trying to warn him. ] If that was responsible for us ending up there, or if CERES was, whoever it was... [ It's like a soft flicker of change as his eyes focus on Jaune's, 100% serious compared to before. ] They really shouldn't have made people suffer there like they did.

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-09 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Whoa, this guy sounds vengeful! ]

Whoever wanted us there, it couldn't have been just to make us suffer... even so, monsters and illusions I can handle, I guess. The hardest part was how the masks changed some people, ya know? I could go without that, next time something awful comes up again.

O-Oh, I'm Jaune, by the way. [ That Jaune. ]
sortileges: (58)

[personal profile] sortileges 2016-03-10 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Vengeful ... Not really, just angry. More for people who can't defend themselves, okay. ]

I wouldn't be too sure about that. I've seen plenty of people do it just for a reason like that. [ Though he pauses then, knows how that felt all too well. ] But I know what you mean.

[ Though shaking off that awful talk, his response to the name exchange is probably going to be a bit of a surprise. ] Merlin. And you didn't really need to introduce yourself actually, I know all about you. [ No??? He doesn't??? ]
beaconed: (yeah right)

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
M-Me?! -- Oh.

Ohh.

Let me guess, you've seen my chilli eating challenge on the network. Look, those things were hot, okay?! Like, I dunno why assassins don't put them in people's food, 'cause I was totally this close to dying!

[ Danger seems to be a common thing in the life of Jaune Arc. ]

[ What a loser... ]

I don't know what you're talking about, really. [ That's a lie. Anyone who wants a good laugh should see that video, he just never replied to it. ] I'm a friend of a friend of yours. That's all. [ "That's all" he says when he just said friend in the most suspicious way ever. ]
beaconed: (069)

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-12 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Right, 'cause that narrows it down. [ Really, Jaune considers even strangers as friends he hasn't met yet. ]

Just what have they told you about me?
sortileges: (233)

[personal profile] sortileges 2016-03-12 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He sucks air in through his teeth, making a hissing sound as his face twists into a wince. He even crosses his arms as a means to make this a little more worrying. ] I really don't think I should say. They might get angry, and neither of us want that.

[ Jaune he doesn't know much at all... don't fall for this. ]
beaconed: (055)

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-13 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
W-What does that mean? ....... Was it Weiss? Did you talk to Weiss? It was Weiss, wasn't it?
sortileges: (22)

[personal profile] sortileges 2016-03-13 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Now that's just confusing. ] Who is Weiss? [ Be careful on how you answer that Jaune. ]
beaconed: (pic#10022190)

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-13 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Weiss? Oh, Weiss and I go wayyy back, heh... she's...... [ making vague hand gestures here because how do you explain someone like weiss schnee ] ...Weiss!

I was just trying to think of what friends I have that would get angry.

...
B-But don't tell her that.
sortileges: (12)

[personal profile] sortileges 2016-03-13 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
Way back? [ Though now this is so suspicious. ] From home?

[ How is Rapunzel supposed to compete with that--nevermind, that doesn't matter. ] It isn't her, I don't know her.
beaconed: (pic#10022206)

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-13 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yyyyep, from home. I mean, we're not like childhood friends or anything cliche like that. We're just from the same school! I wrote her a song. She rejected me. Y'know, just-- typical stuff. You know what I mean, right?

Asiiiide from all that... does that make you and I friends?

[ please-be-my-friend-please ]
sortileges: (207)

[personal profile] sortileges 2016-03-13 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ "She rejected me" ... he's trying to not laugh here, but it's difficult. Enough that he has to press his lips between his teeth. ]

Sure I do. [ HE HAS NO IDEA??????? ] Though I don't see why not?

[ Wow eager. ]
beaconed: (070)

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-13 11:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ WOOHOO GUY FRIENDS ]

Yesss! [ Jaune claps his hands and fist pumps. Wow, someone is eager. ] Awesome! I-I mean... cool. Gnarly. ... Dude. Who am I trying to be-- Great! I-I mean, I guess I'm not surprised, heh... since... you know all these cool things about me and all. Yeah.
sortileges: (168)

[personal profile] sortileges 2016-03-13 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ His eyebrows shoot up at that. How is this guy cool at all??? He can't help but grin because of it though. The happiness Jaune is apparently going through is a little infectious. Maybe he can see what Rapunzel sees in him (the dreamy part though? no...... ) ]

I know a few things, not everything. So...

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-13 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ursa slayers are TOTALLY dreamy, man! ]

Hey, are you really just gonna be all vague about it the whole time? This is gonna eat me up.
sortileges: (241)

[personal profile] sortileges 2016-03-13 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ In his dreams. ]

You... could try guessing? Think a little further from home next time though.
beaconed: (063)

[personal profile] beaconed 2016-03-13 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? Are you gonna tell me if I guess it right? 'Cause... w-what's the point of this game then...


[ Not that it DOESN'T sound fun to him. ]

Would I lie to you? We're friends now, aren't we? [ I'm so sorry Jaune...

but no, he will be honest if he gets it right. ]


Whenever you're ready. Let's say three chances.
