[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]

Mmhm! We could do shifts, right? Like any other work place. I think we'd have enough volunteers for that to be possible. I mean, this city is pretty big...
cryptologic: (▲ don't be afraid)

[personal profile] cryptologic 2016-03-10 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but...we have to make sure whoever does it is trustworthy, too.

[ Ever paranoid, this one. ]
adornmental: (restless)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-10 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... That's a little trickier to figure out. Maybe we could do like, a pairing system or something? We'd need twice as many people willing to volunteer, but...

[Figuring things like this out isn't his strong suit but HE'S SURE TRYING...]
cryptologic: (▲ i'll take thee away)

[personal profile] cryptologic 2016-03-11 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
There's the issue of covering up what we're doing, too. CERES will probably catch on quickly that we're guarding something here. How long before they come by to check it out themselves?
adornmental: (lame af)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-11 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's gonna be a little harder to handle... Maybe we could have contact numbers or some sort of emergency system so people with offensive and defensive abilities could come over when they're needed?
cryptologic: (▲ and wonder if)

[personal profile] cryptologic 2016-03-11 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
That may be for the best. Set up a security system, have people on call to come defend if they need to.

[ That sounds pretty solid. ]
adornmental: (yo!)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-11 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Let's get some more people in on this and spread the word, then! I think it could work.

[YES. Actually making progress, he loves it.]
cryptologic: (▲ it's a frightful sight)

[personal profile] cryptologic 2016-03-12 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Great. I'll talk to Hiro about a security system, too. Should be pretty easy for him, I think...
adornmental: (you're definitely a summer)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-12 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Oh— What's your name, anyway? Mine's Kashuu - Kashuu Kiyomitsu.
cryptologic: (▲ the ghosts are bad)

[personal profile] cryptologic 2016-03-12 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, right. Introductions. Those are a thing people have. ]

Oh, sorry. I'm Dipper Pines. Nice to meet you, Kashuu.
adornmental: (lazy shit)

[personal profile] adornmental 2016-03-12 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
You, too. We might end up working together if you decide to volunteer, so I hope we can get along!

[NEW FRIENDS. Or at least colleagues!! That's... that's one good thing in a sea of really awful things.]
cryptologic: (▲ and begin to vocalize)

[personal profile] cryptologic 2016-03-13 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ A sheepish half-smile. ]

R-right. I, uh, me too.

[ Kashuu seems nice enough. And for all her quirks, Dipper's found it relatively easy to get along with most people he's met in Cerealia. ]
