Fellowship of Animus | First Council of Sages

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.

No need to thank me. I just want to try and do the right thing for everyone here. It's not always easy or pleasant, but I don't know that anything worth doing ever is.

[She trails off, humming lightly. She caught that moment's pause, having seen it a couple of times before.]

I think I should introduce myself. My name is Feferi Peixes. My ancestor, Her Imperious Condescension, arrived here several months before I did. I might be her descendant and her heiress, but we don't see eye-to-eye on much of anything.

No, I don't believe they would be.

[Feferi relaxes just a tiny bit at that point.]

A dubious honor, at best, though that's all her doing. I hope that she hasn't hurt you or anyone you care about.

...it's because of her that I don't believe we can, in good conscience, propose a truce with the villains in this place. I've been taught her history all of my life, and I know what she does to places like this if given even the slightest bit of power. We would be giving her free reign to either murder or enslave us. She won't change, because pretending to change and then revealing that she hasn't is one of her very favorite power games.

It terrifies me just as much. I was afraid just knowing what the Empress was capable of, but knowing there is another just as power-hungry as she is...

[She shakes her head.]

The last thing any of us needs to do is provoke a fight, but at the same time, we can't offer them any sort of treaty immediately. I am sure there are those here that follow them who can be turned to our side, but we can't force their hands.
