Who: Anyone and everyone
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!

GROUP FIVE / GROUP SEVEN / GROUP NINE / IN-GAME TITLES ))

[ There's a fond smile on her face at the mention of "mama aura"... Metis was mommy, after all. ]

Well, you're kind of like one of the big bosses there, so people should really... um- be obedient to you!

[ And also, you might zap them. ]

[roboticists]

[ Now that gets an eyebrow raise from Aura. ]

... Is that it? I hated every second of that blasted tour and all I got for my trouble was a glimpse of the planet's geographical features and a title I knew was mine anyway.

[psycholawgy]

W- Well... I didn't get these names and titles from the tours, actually.

[ She can be honest with Aura... she has to be, after all. Distrust: It's what started the mess between the two of them in the first place, anyway. ]

I found these at a worker's home. . . when I paid him a visit.

[ No, she definitely trespassed... Crazy lady. ]

[roboticists]

[ Suspicious. Very suspicious. You can just hear the music in the background announcing as much. ]

I'm glad that Phoenix Wright is passing some of his skills to you, tsch.

[ Don't think she didn't notice when he was snooping about her laboratory. Typical. ]

So some CERES worker let you in his house? He must have been high up then to have these.

[psycholawgy]

Well, I befriended him on one of my morning jogs. I pass by his flat every day, and eventually, we just got to know each other.

[ That statement though, is not a lie! Just that the two had a falling out because she kept asking him too many questions about CERES and why they say they're "trapped". ]

[roboticists]

So you managed to get these after stabbing him in the chest.

[ she says flatly. please feel free to correct her athena, because well... old habits die hard. ]

[psycholawgy]

Eek! No, please don't say things like that!

[roboticists]

Why not? Is it a lie? Or is it the truth?

[psycholawgy]

It's most definitely NOT the truth!

I didn't stab anyone...

[roboticists]

So you simply strolled in to a CERES worker's house and distracted him with magic tricks? I don't believe so.

[ She really wants to know how you got these. ]

[psycholawgy]

I went to his place...

[roboticists]

And these were just on the table?

[psycholawgy]

[ she just gives a meek nod. ]

I took a copy while he wasn't looking.

[roboticists]

... Fair enough.

[ Well that was strangely anti-climactic. Oh well. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ Aura doesn't need to know the truth. :) ]

Do you want a copy? Of course, I'm trying to find the rest of the list, too. It can't just be from A-C.

[roboticists]

I want a copy, of course I do. These things are useful to have.

[ She's gonna toss Athena a flash drive too. ]

Here, in good faith.

[ It's got a copy of "Code and You: A Beginner's Guide" that she nicked from the tour ]

[psycholawgy]

Widget'll send it to Clonco, then.

[ She's shocked when the flash drive is tossed at her, but she catches it. Thanks, quick reflexes! ]

More info?

[roboticists]

It's what seems to be an entry level codebook for CERES. Internal documents, nothing entirely ground breaking.

[ She hasn't finished reading it yet though. But it's better than nothing. ]

[psycholawgy]

That's still something to study. [ she gives Aura a warm smile. ] Thanks, Miss Blackquill.
