Fellowship of Animus | First Council of Sages

[sageprincess]

Characters: THE FELLOWSHIP OF ANIMUS aka pretty much everyone
Setting: Floor 38, early afternoon - forward-dated to July 29
Format: Party style - pick your poison
Summary: After repeated delays, Zelda and Gandalf have finally called the populace of the Tower to discuss productive means of dealing with their situation.
Warnings: None yet, will edit should something come up

It's taken far too long to get to this point.

Come Sunday, the various couches and armchairs of the uppermost lounge have been arranged in vaguely semi-circle-like patterns, with chairs from other floors scattered amongst them to increase seating even more. The semi-circles face inwards towards a central point to facilitate discussion among a large group of people. Though this is by no means a party, small slices of Lembas bread are available on tables around the perimeter - though there is no shortage of food, the hungry tend to be less cooperative, all the same.

Outside, the sun shines brightly without a cloud to obstruct it, but the atmosphere inside is much less carefree. Considering the purpose of gathering here this day, it's to be expected. Should this council succeed, it may very well change life in the Tower as everyone knows it. If not, well... one should certainly hope individual efforts begin to bear more fruit than they have in the past.

[Feferi wanted to be sure and find Xion afterwards. She felt like she needed to least speak to her, because speaking up like that took a lot of courage, and it was a really brave thing to do. So when she sees her, she takes a spot a couple of feet away, waving once.]

Hey...I thought what you said was really, really great. And I think it was very brave of you to say it. Are you okay?

[Another person Xion is slightly startled that they would approach her. She stares for a moment, wide-eyed, then nods.]

Thanks... [She looks down at her hands, folded in her lap. She... still isn't sure if what she did was really brave, given how things turned out. I... I think I'll be fine.

[cullscuttlefish]

You don't need to thank me.

[Feferi smiles.]

It sounds like you've got some really good friends here. It's important to protect the people we care about.

Don't worry about the guy who yelled at you first, okay? He's just hot-headed. I was in his group in the last experiment, and he's not a bad guy deep down. He just doesn't think before he says stuff. I think yelling at people is his way of saying hello, to be honest.

I'm Feferi. Your friend said your name was Xion, right?
