[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]

[ she sure is! no regrets, all fight. let's do it. hawke just nods and adds one more helpful tidbit -- ]

Yeah, my dog ate mine.

[ maskbreaker solidarity?! yes. ]

[ it's rare for yu to not really know what to make of a person but he genuinely doesn't know what to make of hawke ]

Your... your dog ate your mask?

[ is

she serious ]

[ did she break this kid?? fellow protag, why. she just lifts a shoulder in a shrug and -- ]

Yeah. Garrett.

[ a short whistle and the dog at her feet looks up. she bares her teeth and he replies with the same. ]

Very sharp, much watch out.
covenantal: (o79.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2016-03-16 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ no, just... stunned... slightly...

Yu blinks down at the dog. He's way less fazed by the fact of the dog than the thought of what the dog did. ]


When I broke my mask, it reformed on its own. Garrett wasn't hurt by eating your mask?

[ hawke opens her mouth but with perfect timing, garrett just sneezes and then drops his head back to the floor. she watches this before shrugging and looking back at yu. ]

He didn't eat all of it. I hit him on the nose before he could swallow, but it did just leave the whole thing in pieces. It came back together after a bit.

[ was he hurt though... well, no. ]

I honestly don't think anything could hurt this dog, actually.
covenantal: (o20.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2016-03-17 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... good dog. Yu watches him with utter bemusement before returning his attention back to Hawke. He seems a little relieved at the thought that the dog wasn't hurt. The process his mask had gone through when it had reformed itself had been jarring, at least to him, and he sort of thinks it could have hurt a living creature had the dog actually swallowed pieces of it, even if Hawke's faith is absolute. ]

Glad to hear Garrett wasn't shaken up by it. [ Somewhat wry. A beat, and: ] ... he must be made of some pretty tough stuff, then.

[ oh, this is hawke's favorite part. she just points at garrett, who looks up and starts wagging his tail. ]

That dog has killed a man.

[ a happy woof from garrett. :B ]

Probably like, fifty men.

[ woof woof woof :B ]

[ what ]

That-- is that really true?!

[personal profile] kirkwalled 2016-03-17 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yes. hawke just looks incredulous. ]

Well, I wasn't going to do it all myself!

[ oh my god, hawke stop scaring teens with your dog. she really is getting a kick out of this though. ]
covenantal: (o79.)

[ the extent to which he is completely out of his depth here is astonishing ]
covenantal: (248.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2016-03-21 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Granted that his only real other experience with people what have killed other people was a serial killer who was murdering / trying to murder teenagers for kicks, this is sort of unsettling. Out of sorts, he pauses, then asks only: ]

Why?

[ the clashing of cultures here is startling, especially when hawke just shrugs and starts counting off on her fingers. ]

Was a soldier. Then a mercenary. Now, I'll do anything if the pay is good enough.

[ hawke makes it sound so much worse than it is. her moral code is actually much more straight and narrow than she lets people believe. still, she does give a pause and shrugs, holding a hand to her chest. ]

After all, helping people and killing people is what I'm best at.
