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!

I-- I could've died.

It only sank in really late that I could have... and I should really be more careful.

[faithfulflame]

This is the first time that's happened, right?

[That you've faced your own mortality, right?]

[psycholawgy]

That I could have died?

No... no, this definitely wasn't the first.

[faithfulflame]

Well, as much as I wish that wasn't the case...

Is it possible, do you think, to get back out to those things?

[psycholawgy]

[ She shakes her head, expression sombre. ]

I doubt it. I highly doubt it.

[faithfulflame]

Then there's no need to worry about it.

[Unless the spirits are rising up against them...]

I'm sure we'll eventually learn more, with time.

[psycholawgy]

I hope so.

And I hope it won't be too late when we do start learning things.

[faithfulflame]

Yeah. We'll figure this out.

[There's always time. Always.]

How's your recovery going?

[psycholawgy]

These crutches are fake.

[faithfulflame]

Playing for sympathy?

[Rei shakes her head.]

Unbecoming.

[psycholawgy]

Nuh uh. They're weapons in case somebody attacks me for disseminating information.

[faithfulflame]

Really now?

[Athena...]

[psycholawgy]

Yup! I can hit someone with it.

[faithfulflame]

If you do that and it breaks, will I need to carry you home?

[psycholawgy]

Nope. Leia healed me a couple of days ago.

[faithfulflame]

Good. Leia...Rolando?

[psycholawgy]

Yup! She's one of my best friends.

[faithfulflame]

I didn't know that, but I feel like I should have known.

[psycholawgy]

I have a lot of friends here, so it's okay! You're one of my best friends too, just so you know.

[faithfulflame]

I have begun to realize that, yes.

And the feeling is mutual.

[psycholawgy]

I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you so much.

[faithfulflame]

Of course, dear.
