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.

[By the end of the meeting, April has curled herself up in a chair and is watching as people leave or talk among themselves. She's mentally going over the discussions she heard, along with the arguments.

All of this could have gone better and now she's more or less considered just working on her own, but she's keeping those thoughts to herself. For now, she'll keep people watching as she continues to think over what has been said.]

[ Late. Even Homura can see the humor in that. She wanted to come in and listen, get a better grip on her situation, but instead she arrived too late to hear very much. For a time traveler, this is borderline hilarious.

But her face is straight as she looks around, curious as to what has gone on and what sorts of people attended. This is why she spots April, made curious by the fact that the young woman is still sitting, and everything leads to Homura approaching her. Still with an emotionless expression, accidentally masking her concern for the other as she stops in front of her. ]

Can you stand? [ It's not meant to be an insult... maybe possible to take that way, but Homura is genuinely concerned. ]

[technologic]

[Considering the leg brace on one of April's legs, she doesn't see anything wrong with the question as she glances up at the girl. Her expression is surprised, before she gives Homura a faint smile.]

Yeah, I can... I've just been thinking over everything that's been said, so I haven't moved yet.

[rewindingly]

I see.

[ A reasonable explanation, but Homura has always been the worrying type. She really can't help herself. ]

I'm Homura Akemi. I arrived late. [ A pause. ] May I sit by you?

[technologic]

Nice to meet you, Homura. I'm April. [Her smile doesn't falter at the question, and it instead brightens slightly as she gives her a nod.] Yeah, of course!

[rewindingly]

[ Homura quietly takes a seat by April, her own little smile spreading across her lips and twitching with nervousness and her usual shy demeanor. ]

Thank you... Was this meeting informative, would you say?

[technologic]

[She tilts her head, thinking to herself for a moment.] Hmm... Kind of. It was useful to hear what info people had and there were certain... ah, theories brought forward. But there was a lot of clashing going on, and it didn't sound like people could agree on most things.

It could have gone better, but it could have been a lot worse.
