[MEETING] We've no idea what the end picture will look like

Characters: OPEN
Setting: 4th Floor lounge
Format: Anything and everything
Summary: A meeting to put together the pieces all of the characters got during 1369
Warnings: Mention and discussion some of the contents of the visions from 1369, which include disturbing and even gruesome content.

[The problem with having an impatient twelve year-old set up a meeting is that there isn't nearly as much in the way of amenities. Unless someone is able to make or bring any snacks, there's nothing of the sort available, nor any sort of decoration or notice hanging anywhere. All that can be found is the aforementioned twelve year-old standing near the stairs with her arms crossed.

She'll quite cheerfully tell anybody who wanders onto the floor (whether on purpose or accident) what's going on. Even those who missed her network post will be able to find out easily what's happening on this particular floor today.

And after that... well, then the discussion can begin.]

Could she not have woken up? By accident or by our noise, if anything?

...They c-could be...j-j-joined...

[Oh dear, here's the blonde man. Settle down friends, he needs some time.]

...Th--That's w-what the...the d-d-doctors s-said. I-In my v-vision, I--I m-mean.

Her sleep is not a natural one. If the previous explosions did not wake her prematurely, I do not know what would.

[Turning to Rick.]

'Joined'? Did they elaborate as to how?
bashfulshifter: (derp derp)

[personal profile] bashfulshifter 2013-12-05 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rick shuffles uncomfortably in place.]

...Th--They s-s-said...uh...'b-balanced.' They w-wanted to...ah...s-s-separate them, f-for...for r-research, a-and--d-dangerous, but they--th--they d-did a-anyways, I--I-I think. [nervous headscratch] ...S-Sorry, I...c-couldn't h-hear them t-too...too w-well...I d-don't know...

[Gonna stop talking and fall back into the crowd now, hope you don't mind...]

Rick, do ya think you could just write down what ya saw and heard for me? [Even Reno had some trouble understanding that one... sorry Rick.]

[Assassin nods at Zelda's comment, but gives Rick a confused look.]

...Yes, I too believe a written description would be best.
bashfulshifter: (flustered)

[personal profile] bashfulshifter 2013-12-06 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, too nervous, so many people staring at him right now, it was bad enough before but now this--]

[Rick shrinks further away from the circle, head hung in embarrassment and shame which is clearly evident in how his face fluoresces red with blush. He gapes in an attempt to apologize, but the words stick in his throat, leading to further mortification through awkward silence.]

[He is, thankfully, at least somewhat prepared to abide by the group's request; following Diarmuid's advice from the last meeting, the blonde man digs through his pockets and procures a folded pad of paper and a pen, which he uses to hastily scratch down what he heard with shaking hand. The note is shoved in Reno's direction, at which point he promptly removes himself from the group so he can go ease his nerves in a less crowded corner of the lounge.]

I heard these "doctors" *because they don't act like real healers at all* talking as well... They commented on how many children they had, well over a thousand. And they said... 'it won't be long now'.

Then the children we saw...were all victims of those...butchers?

[She is a Servant, and she has both seen and performed the operations Assassins specialize in. Yet, the idea of the mutilated bodies of the child she had seen and the children others had seen turns her stomach. Especially when she knows they were done by humans seeking forbidden knowledge.]

[She looks from Enoch to Rick.]


Were you together to listen to the butchers?
warriorscribe: (Seed of turmoil)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2013-12-09 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
We weren't together... *Enoch shakes his head.* But, yes...the children were the victims of the experiments here before us. Our predecessors, in a way.

[personal profile] glassceiling 2013-12-09 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder if anyone had experienced visions together, or if the visions were all individual...

[Her thoughts turn back to the children.]

I take it those children are no longer in this world?
warriorscribe: (To walk a long road)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2013-12-11 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
I...

*Does "eaten by Ruana" count as "no longer in this world"?*

...Ruana is their only survivor. And possibly Zo, from the sounds of it.
sageprincess: (Plaguing uncertainty)

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-12-11 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
If Zo truly was among those children, it does not seem as though he remembers it. He believes himself to be only as old as the "rescue mission" they have been running. Two and a half years, give or take...

[Though with how much influence Ruana has over their memories, who's to say if that is really the truth?]
glassceiling: <user name=curtainfire> (pic#6937691)

[personal profile] glassceiling 2013-12-11 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you saying that Ruana removed his memories?

[She slowly shakes her head.]

Even so, he should not be so quick to believe that she had created him.
sageprincess: (Quiet meditations)

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-12-11 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
She may have. I do not know. Until now, we have been working under the assumption that she killed everyone who had inhabited this Tower before, and had been the sole survivor when world-destroying 'virus' had hit this world.

The administrators say they have never left the Tower walls. In the absence of anyone else to birth them, the possibilities of their creators should be limited...
warriorscribe: (Concern)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2013-12-12 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
If she did create Zo, it was from the memory of her companion.

*He sighs.* They...certainly don't seem all that "balanced" right now. The scales are tipped towards Ruana. But Zo...he may be the only person who could ever get through to her about anything. Or who could even begin to compare to her.

[personal profile] glassceiling 2013-12-12 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Then should we tell him to devote his energies to getting her to free us and save our worlds, instead of creating carnivals that can easily be destroyed. Would he be able to do that?
sageprincess: (Conflicting emotions)

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-12-12 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
... Perhaps, but...

[She grimaces, unpleasant memories coming to the forefront of her mind.]

Failure is harshly punished. There was once another administrator that openly sympathized with us, and eventually outright rebelled against Ruana herself.

She... She consumed him, when he lost.

[To put it politely.]
warriorscribe: (Quiet pause)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2013-12-12 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
*Enoch lowers his head, solemn.*

Yes...This is what I meant, when I said our hosts were "once five". It's best Zo stay in her good favor as long as he can.

[personal profile] glassceiling 2013-12-14 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
I will do my best not to make too many requests of him. Lest he incur her displeasure for us.

What responsibilities did this fifth administrator bear? Before he was consumed?
warriorscribe: (Gazing into eternity)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2013-12-16 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
General day to day maintenance. He was a leader to them, as well.
