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.

...very slowly and hesitantly, like a student who's realized that their class participation is at stake, Tara raises a hand.

"I-I don't know...if it's something about the collars or, um, or anything like that. Maybe it was something about the tubes. But I, I think, between the three of them, Dax might be the strongest. All he had to do was, w-was press a button, and I died."

She fumbles in a pocket and pulls out a crumpled piece of paper, which she unfolds to show the note Zo had left to those who'd been left in the pods. This, she holds up for the group to see.

"But the boy...Zo...I, I think he's a lot weaker. From this, I thought he might have been the one in charge of the tower, when the other's weren't. He said he 't-tried his best', but...I guess he wasn't good enough to manage everything. Not at first."
