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 ))

( Piping in, )

Nah, I was fine. Ya know, 'sides doing all of that running.

[psycholawgy]

I don't want to run without shoes again...

[buildyourworld]

[ He pauses to piece together the information collected so far... It seem the planet isn't inhabitable but there are certainly some strange aspect to it that makes it difficult. ]

That's good news at least, if we ever need to get out of this colony, then we know that we'll be able to breathe outside.

[ It's a pity he wasn't able to see the sentient metals though... because he has doubts they're sentient. ]

Are you absolutely sure that those metals are sentient?

[psycholawgy]

That's what I'd like to think.

Or they're another form of species on their own...

[buildyourworld]

[ Their situation notwithstanding, having some hostile sentient metals right outside their colony is worrying enough as it is. ]

Do they exhibit any other noteworthy characteristic?

[psycholawgy]

Ugh... I don't remember.

[ It was a traumatic experience, and recalling more than she should is already painful enough. ]

[buildyourworld]

It's fine. You can tell us if you remember anything later.

[ Noticing the mood displayed on the pendant around her neck, he backs off from asking her any more question. ]

How's your leg?

[psycholawgy]

Oh, this? [ she gives a short kick with her "injured" leg. ] I'm fine now.

The crutch is just for show, and a weapon in case someone from CERES decides to hurt me for organising this.

[buildyourworld]

[ He raises an eyebrow mockingly, teasing her. ]

I don't think that's going to be of any use against firearms.

[ Though he's relieved that she's fine. ]

[psycholawgy]

Urk...

Now you're making me paranoid. [ Thanks, Tieria... ]

[buildyourworld]

[ That gets him to chuckle a little. ]

Relax. I'm just kidding.

[ He passes her a cupcake from the plate on the table. ]

[psycholawgy]

Oh, thank you!

[ she takes it and takes a quick bite. while her mouth is full- ]

The cafe's good is good, huh?

[buildyourworld]

[ Athena, please. ]

Don't talk with your mouth is full.

[psycholawgy]

[ FINE okay she swallows her food then asks again; ]

The cafe's food is good, huh? Peko usually designs some of the cakes and cupcakes!

[buildyourworld]

[ Better. ]

They're too sweet.

[ He's not a fan of excessive sugar intake... ]

[psycholawgy]

What kind of food do you like?

[buildyourworld]

Food with high nutrition value.

[ You didn't heard wrong, Athena. That's really what he's saying. ]

[psycholawgy]

So, like vegetables and fruits!

[buildyourworld]

No, it doesn't matter as long as they're nutritious.

[ He doesn't really have any favorite. This is the guy who can eat rationed food for years without complain... ]

[psycholawgy]

You gotta have a preference... Or like, something you can't stand. LIke dried tomatoes.

[buildyourworld]

[ He shrugs, taking a sip from the glass of juice. ]

No, I don't. As long as they're nutritional, I'll eat them.

[psycholawgy]

Seriously?!

C'mon, Tieria!

[ That's so boring! ]

[buildyourworld]

What?

[ He's genuinely perplexed by her insistence of making him pick a favorite even though he doesn't have one. ]

Food is meant to provide nutrients to our body.

[psycholawgy]

Yeah, but you've got to have a preference. You can't just eat everything.

[ Okay, you can, but it just isn't right! ]

[buildyourworld]

...

[ What's with her and everyone demanding he has a favorite food? ]

I eat everything.
