Bitty Meeting

[myblueskies]

Characters: Romeo, Ken and every bitty
Setting: Floor 95
Format: Either and all
Summary: Bitty meeting! For those that don't know, Ken and Romeo run a group for all the under 14s in the tower to help each other, get through bad times and work out ways to help the adults. Every character aged 14 and under is welcome, Romeo left notes in all those he knows the name of and knows (or thinks) are under 14, but he was also handing out posters to anyone who looked 14 or under. If your character is under 14 but looks older they are welcome as long as they convince Ken and Romeo they are not spies.
Warnings: Generic Animus warnings

The actual meeting is taking part on one of the ledges over the ball pit. Romeo has brought up food and drinks and they are laid out. Anyone he knows is gestured in and anyone new who looks nervous is approached (with great enthusiasm.) They haven't had a meeting in a long time and Romeo doesn't even know if everyone is still in the tower anymore.

He put notes in everyone's mailbox, but not everyone had mailboxes and even Romeo didn't know everyone so he had also handed out invitations to anyone he thought was under fourteen. He just hoped people came.

There was a lot of things they needed to talk about, and a lot of ways they could help each other. It was important they all worked together

Beginning

[myblueskies]

Come and eat food, play with the balls, meet everyone else!

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba had been looking forward to meeting Ken and helping out everyone by making slings and the like, so she was happy when Romeo finally sent her a letter telling her that Ken and everyone else were going to meet up here. She wasn't sure who else would come or if they were good people, but it would be fun to find out!

One could find Yotsuba wandering around the food, thinking about eating something or grabbing a ball in order to toss it at a friend.

[bydefacto]

Sealand had been given one of the posters on his way out of the cafeteria, and had decided to go along to it; the meeting looked interesting. It certainly beat figuring out this place on his own. However, he had only arrived the previous day and it had taken him a while to find the place, so he came in a little late.

"Woah...!" Sealand had never seen a room like this before, so when he did arrive he just stared at it for a moment before going in any further.

[myblueskies]

Romeo grinned as a boy he hadn't met before (except to excitedly hand a poster to) arrived. "Hello!" He clambered back to the staircase. "I'm Romeo are you here for the meeting?"

[sunflowerfairy]

Hopefully Sealand wouldn't mind a few playful children, because when Yotsuba saw this guy, she would attempt to toss a ball at him before laughing a little about it. After all, they didn't hurt-at least, not to her-and it was fun to fling them around!

[miseris_socios]

Ken sits nearby, tossing a ball in his hands. He's been tired, but training has helped. His new clothes are simple - Chidori made them for him and it's not like there's a ton of materials around here - but they fit, so he feels more comfortable.

... Now he has to think of how to get through this meeting without his voice cracking.

[myblueskies]

Romeo on the other hand has just added material to his old clothes, to make them fit. And so they are a bizarre patchwork of cloth.

"Hello Ken!" He clambered up to sit next to his friend, "Are you ready?"

[sunflowerfairy]

Sadly, Yotsuba didn't know of the troubles Ken was going through and happily lobbed a ball at him when she saw him tossing one about. She didn't know who he was, but tossing these balls at people and playing with them was fun!

[axeforasong]

[walking into the club like 'what up? I got a pair of axes...']

Ah... is right place, yes?

[myblueskies]

If you're here for the meeting yes it is! [Romeo stood up and waved]

[averytinyparticle]

When Quark arrives, he immediately folds the flier in his hand and puts it away in one of the many expanse pockets of his coat. It was quite clear that he had come to the right place, though he wasn't all that sure what this meeting was going to be about. He just figured he might make some more friends this way.

And, as always, Quark can't help but be amazed by the table of food laid out for those in attendance. He drifts over to it right away, just taking in the sight of the different snacks that would've cost half a fortune back on his home world. The boy looks far less interested in eating any of it than he does just examining the spread.

[myblueskies]

Romeo skipped over with a smile. He hasn't seen this person before. "Hello!" He grins, "Do you want some food?"

[sunflowerfairy]

Yotsuba, at the moment, was looking over the spread, trying to decide what exactly to try first, but when she saw the odd hat the boy near her was wearing, her attention diverted from food and onto him.

"That's an awesome hat you have! They look like boxes..or a TV hat!"

Aaaaand my other bitty boy might as well come, too!

[fragileprophet]

"Ah, it seems I came to the right floor."

Ion smiles as he muses this to himself, stepping off into the 95th floor to join the rest of the children. As he looks around, he notices he's one of the oldest here (at least physically), but supposes there's no harm in seeing what this supposed meeting is all about.

"I hope I'm not too terribly late..."

It was a good thing that the floor had been so close to the dorms, otherwise it probably would've taken him even longer to arrive. As it were, he already felt a bit winded from the journey, his face a shade more pale than it should've. Ion wasn't going to let it bother him. He didn't want to make a poor impression, especially when, looking around, he wasn't familiar with most (if not all) of the youth he could see scattered around the floor.

bittiessss

[myblueskies]

"You're not late!" Romeo scrambled up to meet him and grinned brightly. "We haven't started yet!"

[sunflowerfairy]

When the green-haired boy arrived and spoke out loud, Yotsuba couldn't help but turn toward him, ball in hand, and smile before wandering over to him.

"It's not too late! Come aboard! It's lots of fun right now and we'll have a huuge meeting later on where we can help each other! Who are you though? Are you a good person?!"

[wrigurun]

Wriggle didn't know who had left the note in her mailbox, she was pretty sure she'd never met any Romeo but she was so pleased that she'd managed to read it all by herself that she couldn't help but take a look and see what it was all about.

She looked around a little confused, the note clutched tightly in her hands as she floated around the room. She really didn't trust herself enough to not get swallowed up in the ball pit. Whenever someone passed she got their attention and held out the note to them.

"Hey, did you write this?"

[myblueskies]

"I did!" Romeo nodded with a grin, "And you came! I'm glad lots of people came!"

The latest.......

[ghostytrainer]

It was the second time in perhaps as many months that John somehow found himself invited to a meeting that he didn't actually belong in. (though he gets the feeling this will be slightly less awkward than the Persona users meeting...) He's a little too old to be here, according to the invitation but... okay, when there are that many colors and misspelled words in a single letter, you just can't refuse it. It's too damn cute. If nothing else, he figured he should at least show up and thank whoever this Romeo is for the invitation.

But he didn't come alone! When he arrives on the proper floor, he's holding the hand of one Yuka Mochida, who is definitely the right age to be here. The two don't really stay together long, as John urges the smaller girl to go get to making some new friends while he himself hangs by the staircase, waiting for his alternate self to show up.

accompanied by the latest double..........

[longwinded]

He was also invited to this meeting, he came alone but by the urging of his double. They can't go alone- right? Right. So for anyone who approaches now there is going to be two, clearly way too old, John Egberts standing here. Yup.

"So uh. We got invited to this?" This isn't as awkward as it could be....the ballpit is here and everything....

It's hard being a +1

[secretcharm]

She'd been a little unsure about going to this meeting with John. Not that he wasn't nice or Romeo wasn't nice, but it was a meeting with, in her mind, a lot of other people. And that's a little scary sometimes! But...she wanted to be braver, so she went anyway. And, after some coaxing from John, she left his side and went to mingle with other people.

And by mingle, we mean play with some of the balls, sit off to the side and kind of watch everyone for the moment. Until she spotted someone she recognized at least....

[myblueskies]

Romeo went over to sit near her. "Hello Yuka! I'm glad you came!"

here katar i'll be taking that title from u

[hystericull]

[Gamzee had been utterly perplexed by the note in the mailbox. Information was hard to keep from someone you constantly shared living quarters with, so he was somewhat aware of the meetings Romeo held (somewhat) regularly, though he'd never been to one himself. It was a moral dilemma, whether or not to show. He could claim he hadn't checked his mailbox, which was actually a very plausible excuse, seeing how he lacked any sort of motivation.]

[Somehow, though, for a kid lacking motivation as much as he was lacking morals, Gamzee showed up. He deemed it much more awkward to stand at the entrance to the ball floor looking lost than to approach Romeo directly, casting sidelong glances at the rest of the assembled group and feeling peculiarly like he was severely out of place.]

...You need something from a motherfucker here, bro?

Meeting

[myblueskies]

Once everyone who Romeo thinks is coming turns up he calls them all to the platform, and waits for Ken to start.

[miseris_socios]

Right, there's enough people. Ken gathers his courage a bit and stands.

"First of all - I'm Ken Amada. I've been here a while - Romeo's been here longer though. If you've got a question during the meeting, please raise your hand and don't shout it out. I've got a piece of paper here and a pen - don't lose it. I'm gonna pass it around - put your name down on it. If you don't know how to write your name, get someone else to help you."

He hands out the paper and then stands up again.

"Anyway. For those of you who have been here before, hang on. For the new people - the main idea of this group is to look after each other. Sometimes we don't have anyone we can turn to because we just don't know people, or sometimes because something the tower does makes things harder. If you need combat training we can find someone to help, no matter what kind of fighting you do. If you just want to start training, we can help you with that too."

He looks around a little bit.

"So who's new? If you could say something like your name, how old you are, and any sort of combat experience you have - or other sort of useful skills you have."
