[open] woah so serious

Who: Everybody!
When: 9 July (IC)
Where: The Sanctuary
What: A follow up to this! Citywide discussion log.
Rating/Warning: None so far! (Please let me know if things should be changed!)

[ the morning of the 9th, everybody should receive a text ]

Hi! I've updated the timeline summarising the recent events here in the colony. Check it out if you have the time, and let me know if there's anything you'd like to contribute!

Also, pizza party later at the Sanctuary. Be there at around 5! There's free food and drinks for everybody. :)

-- Athena Cykes





[ as promised, there's pizza boxes everywhere in the Sanctuary, and one of the tables has an array of drinks being served. there's soda, water, juice, and but nothing alcoholic! this is a serious event, after all, so let's try not to get drunk right now… ah. . . and don't forget to leave your cerevices by the door! this is a ceres-free environment after all.

once enough people are around and seated comfortably, athena tries to call everybody's attention by clapping her hands and yelling OBJECTION! really loudly. and we all know how loud she can be. . . so that's definitely one objective done. ]


So, I guess it's time to talk about that post on the network by that anonymous robot-looking thing. For those who just arrived, this is what I'm talking about. [ and with that, she clicks on a button on the remote control she's holding, and by one of the walls, the text in the said post will be projected. ]

Should we trust that anonymous poster, or should we trust CERES? I doubt there's anybody here who wants to trust CERES of all-- [ well, CERES is not a people, so she just waves a hand dismissively to finish her statement. ] Especially not after all those robots came in and tried to replace the originals.

I think… I want to trust Mosley, though. But nobody here has to share the same sentiment. I don't know much about him, and I'm just following my gut feeling, but-- [ she shakes her head. she can just talk about this further when prodded. she should be providing facts right now, not her opinion. ]

The moment upon arriving in the colony, we were fed information that the Flamines consumed our worlds - but we all know that's not true, either. After all, there are people here who have been able to go back home for a few days. From most of our experience with the Flamines, they're after CERES too, but at the same time, they've been working together. Or they used to, anyway. For those who don't know, the ocular implants we have are by the Flamine Federation. But now, the Flamines are after CERES because they have a debt to pay.

[ she glances around the room now, trying to look at everybody in the eye. ]

Tellus, in this case, are the following parties: The Bridge, and the four "Gods". [ air quotes included. ] Maris, Caeli, Occidi, and Ardeo. The Bridge was once held captive by CERES, and she was released by some people here. To thank them for what they did, The Bridge brought us to the jungle—her "home" and let us stay there for about a week or so. It wasn't exactly the best experience, but there aren't a lot good experiences here in the first place.

I could talk more about the parties in this post if asked, but for now, I want all of us to decide what to do with this announcement. I'd like to investigate all these parties, if possible, including Occidi, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Information and facts are our best weapon right now, after all.

So, if anybody else has something to say about all this, feel free. The floor is yours. And if there's anything you can offer, or if you know anything else, please share it with everybody. I know there's not any information I know that I would hide from anybody here.

[ awkwardly, she just shuffles away and takes a seat on one of the nearest sofas, hoping somebody would speak up and give their two cents. ]

[ who is this, kanda's cousin??

Allen's definitely a newbie, considering the fact that he just looks kind of overwhelmed by what's going on here, but his gaze immediately darts to Levi when he talks. And to be honest? He doesn't exactly disagree with this sentiment at all. ]


I agree. I know we still have a lot of questions that need to be answered, and those answers might only come from one of these three, but...

[ He hesitates, resisting the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose. Timcanpy, small and golden and sitting on Allen's head this whole time flutters his wings a little. ]

If it's information we need, then I'm willing to talk to them all. I know they're dangerous, but I don't mind if it'll get the answers we need, and if that means we won't have to rely on them in the end.
dirtdevil: (a salty surprise)

[ to be fair, this stuff is a little overwhelming even for someone like him who's been here awhile now. they're faced with the choice of which group of untrustworthy alien douchebags to ally themselves with, and none of them deserve it. will any of them actually send everyone home? if so, at what cost?

these are all things he might be considering if he wasn't completely distracted by the thing on Allen's head. ]


What the hell is that?

[ don't worry, he'll come back to the topic at hand. for right now, though, he's just staring openly. (sorry.) ]
clownage: (laughtrack)

[personal profile] clownage 2016-05-21 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
— Huh?

[ it's true, timcanpy's the most important thing about Allen. Allen looks a little startled, as if totally not aware that Timcanpy's a new thing to pretty much everyone at Cerealia.

Timcanpy flaps his wings again and maybe preens a little. The lightbulb dings over Allen's head... ]


Oh, Timcanpy? He's a golem! [ he pauses, realizing that this isn't explanatory enough. ] And he's a friend from home. He can't speak, but he can understand everything you're saying. He's probably recording this conversation right now too.

[ Timcanpy flaps his wings and takes off, flying off Allen's head to come Closer to Levi. hello FRIEND. ]
dirtdevil: (old-people smell)

[personal profile] dirtdevil 2016-05-24 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ yyyeah, sorry, he has no idea what a golem is. or at least he didn't until this moment, because there's one like, right in his face. what the hell.

he squints a bit suspiciously at Timcanpy. hello, strange... bird... thing (???). ]


Recording it? Why, you have a shitty memory or something?
clownage: (jeezus)

[ ooc: lord i'm so late but god damn it I'm going to have cr with levi and allen if it kills me aka I'M SO SORRY I'm totally fine with handwaving and starting something new??? or backtagging forever ]

My memory's fine! [ Allen actually looks a little offended here, wow Levi??? Why can't you just appreciate the fact that Timcanpy is a floating Iphone? ] He just... records things! I think he likes doing it.

[ nice ]
clownage: (whispers im fine im fine)

2/2

[ Allen hastily adds ]

And I... I don't really know the situation or circumstances around a lot of what we're talking about, so I figured watching it all over again might help me... come to a decision.

[ he's dumb and new, the worst combination of all. ]
dirtdevil: (getting naked and watching nickelodeon)

no worries! i backtag into foreverrrrr

[personal profile] dirtdevil 2016-06-04 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ sorry, he's... kind of an asshole. perhaps you've already come to that conclusion.

in any case, he waves it off. don't take too much from his bitchy comments; they just kind of fall out sometimes. ]


That's actually a smart move. You new?
clownage: (mmmmm WELL)

bless u

[personal profile] clownage 2016-06-04 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ timcanpy blushes at the compliment (that wasn't actually directed at him, but whatever he'll take it), while Allen nods. ]

I arrived two days ago. [ newer than new. And because Allen can't ever stop the manners train -- ] My name's Allen Walker. And this is Timcanpy.

[ Tim flutters his wings in Levi's direction, heya. ]

Someone was kind enough to send me the files about this place when I arrived, and a few people have explained things to me so far...

[ but it's a lot to take in?? Allen's still confused?? ]
dirtdevil: (full frontal nudity)

[personal profile] dirtdevil 2016-06-05 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Two days ago?

[ jesus christ, no wonder this kid looks kinda lost. he's been here six months and he's still trying to understand some of this shit. sheesh.

he eyes Timcanpy carefully. still not sure if he trusts you yet, weird flying thing. ]


This must seem like a shitshow. Which it is, but I'd imagine even more so after only two days here. Do you have any idea what anyone here is talking about?
