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.

Momotaros' face twists into a scowl. Pacifism was something that just didn't compute with him. "And do what?! Just let these assholes in charge just run rampant all over us?!"

Unfortunately Momotaros, right here is a smart person who's actually a pacifist. He placed a small hand on Taiki's shoulder-- it being evident enough that the kid was pretty upset--, before looking up to Momotaros and responding.

"It's true that people will get hurt. That is something that must be accepted. But it is also true that we must work to minimize injury as much as possible. Letting them 'run rampant all over us' will do us no good, but neither will charging in with blind violence."

Taiki draws back into himself when Momotaros scowls. He couldn't let it go though because he was a kirin and he couldn't let people plan violence. It was wrong.

He was glad for Fado and pressed into his side, scared and upset. "There are other ways to stop them hurting us without being violent... I think... sorry..."
