When 1 February
Where: CERES Gardens
What: IC Dicussion Post
Rating/Warning: None so far!

[ At 5:30 in the morning, each person will receive a text: ]
Good morning!
If you'd like to know what happened during the CERES tours, please come to the gardens at 12 noon.
Lunch will be provided.

[ All these texts will come from Athena Cykes, so if you'd like to respond, head on over here! ]

[ Athena's managed to convince the manager of the Little Sister Cafe to cater at ther CERES gardens, so there are tables, a spread of food, and at the center of all the tables is a small platform-like stage with a microphone. A part of the gardens now looks like this. With less balloons, of course.

Once there's enough people, Athena Cykes steps up. She has crutches, and she rests those crutches by the side of the platform as she speaks. ]

I'm sure we were all expecting a safe tour, but most of us - if not all - ended up being in danger. But, despite all this, we learned a lot of things. If we can all get up here one by one, in an orderly manner, and speak of what we've learned, we would be able to help one another survive in Cerealia better.

I don't think we need to keep this a secret anymore; Mr. Mosley and the rest of CERES have their eyes on us at all times. But still, we shouldn't try to withhold information from one another. Information is key to be able to survive in this place. Whatever you know? Please tell us.

The food is also from the cosplay cafe. Please come visit if you enjoy them. Thank you.

[ With a bow of her head, she steps down and heads to her table. Anyone is free to take the stand now and speak. ]

(( Make your own top-levels, and then there can be discussions for each top-level! I won't be running this post, so treat this as a mingle!

[ Maybe her memory is hazy... She can easily change the data if Bulma corrects her. ]

What kind of device was it? I don't recall correctly.

[capforthat]

Well, he said it was an EMP, but I don't believe it! The technology here might be far advanced beyond what we had back home, but a pinpoint pulse is just crazy! If it was powerful enough to knock those monsters out, it should've killed the golf cart, too...

[Of course, the only way to be certain would be to get her hands on the device in question. That's not likely to happen.]

[psycholawgy]

I guess EMP makes sense... if he was a robot. . .

[capforthat]

Huh? A robot? We are talking about Mosley, right? [Bulma's surprised stare morphs into genuine concern.] Are you feeling okay, hun?

[psycholawgy]

He looks human, but he might be a robot.

Seriously - how else do you think there were so many Mosleys who conducted all those tours? All of them happened at once.

[capforthat]

I'd assumed he had assistants taking care of the other tours. [Because the one she was on was the most important, obviously. She rubs her chin thoughtfully.] I suppose that would make a kind of sense, but I don't think so. If he were a robot and it really was an EMP it would almost certainly have affected him, too.

[psycholawgy]

Thanks for the info, Miss Bulma. I'll be sure to ask around about that. I know robotics expert.

[capforthat]

Oh? I'd be interested to meet them, I'm no slouch in that department myself. [She's nothing if not confident in her own abilities! ...even when her talents lie mainly in mechanical engineering. That's close enough, right.]

[psycholawgy]

Aura Blackquill.

But don't tell her I told her about you. She might get mad.

[capforthat]

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. [Is it even a secret? Whatever. She won't be mentioning she heard the name from Athena, anyway.]

Blackquill... [Why does that sound familiar--oh, right.] Oh! This is actually the second time I've heard that name, she must be quite the woman to leave such a big impression on people.

[psycholawgy]

[ HA HA... she just laughs nervously, as if something is OBVIOUSLY WRONG. ]

She definitely does, doesn't she?

[capforthat]

[Wellllll that's not encouraging. Downright ominous, even.]

Not always good impressions, sounds like.

[psycholawgy]

I've known her for a while, that's all. [ More laughter. ]

[capforthat]

[Athena you are getting side-eyed so hard right now.]

... well, I'd like to know what she has to say about Mosley, if you don't mind.

[psycholawgy]

Why would I mind?
