TEAM RAGNAROK BLASTING OFF

Meeting/Assignments

[midgarhorizon]

Is everyone here?

[Reno looks around at his Turks... yeah, his Turks. He was their's as much as they were his. These are the people he recruited and even helped train.]

Down to business. Seems like we got ourselves an ally downstairs. Maybe. I don't know her or what her plans are. I want you to be careful if you deal with her.

We got to figure out what's going on to the Tower. If this gal thinks we can keep Jason occupied, I want ideas tossed my way. We're going to have to be resourceful on this one. I was hopin' to have a little more time before something like this, but you're all well trained and I know you guys can work together.

[Clearing his throat, he glances over at Xion.]

Xion, do ya have any of those leathers made yet? I noticed it's been gettin' colder and we might need 'em inside. I want you to get your stash and hand 'em out to anyone here that doesn't have one yet. Take someone to help. I want everybody outfitted.

[This is one time he's glad for all the humanitarian missions they were doing.]

The rest of you, if you need it, get something from Xion. Don't move out without a partner.

[Missions.]

I need volunteers to check out the lower floors.

Someone to look outside and find out why the hell the Tower is shuddering.

Someone needs to get down to the Kitchen and get and pass around some food- I don't want you guys to pass out while this is goin' on. Take a day's rations each, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Someone needs to go around and gather up the weapons I've been stashing. Some of them might not be real, but I have a few in my locker. If we're goin' to be fighting Jason, I want you all equipped.

Lastly, this is gonna be a big one, but I need someone to go with me and check out the whole Tower. We're goin' to be walking down the staircase and back up again.

When everybody's done, meet on Floor 50, or the closest "safe" floor to it, for debriefing.

[bashfulshifter]

...W-Walking...w-w-w-walking is g-good.

[Hello Turks, there is an extremely nervous-looking blonde man in your midst! He just kind of...wandered in here, seeing a lot of familiar faces, and the idea of a quiet walk with Reno sounds infinitely more relaxing than running around, fretting about everything falling apart around him. Right? Relaxing? Reno? Right?]

...I-I-If you d-d-don't m-mind...

[midgarhorizon]

Rick. You up for going down to the kitchen and pulling out food packets for everyone?

[Because that was seriously important and something he knew Rick could do in a hurry.]

[bashfulshifter]

[Rick nods silently. The paleness of his face is telling, but it's a relief to have some direction.]

I, ah...I c-can m-make more, t-too. [A beat.] --A-And the c-c-clothes! I c-can b-bring them w-w-with me.

[midgarhorizon]

Take it easy, Rick. Stay calm. Nobody's attackin' yet and you're gonna need your head when the monsters swarm. Grab someone to go with ya.

Re: Meeting/Assignments

[puppy_lancer]

I'll see to the weapons. Or food if we don't have enough people for that.

[He looks around the room, letting his eyes linger on Diarmuid especially.]

We got enough for everyone to partner up here?

[oathshackledbird]

I can see no better time to break out the caches of weapons I have been gathering.

[Diarmuid steps forward, arms crossed loosely over his chest. Despite that relaxed posture, he is obviously very alert. On the high collar of his green uniform, a triangle pin gleams as much as a tarnished and worn pin can.]

Reno, if you are willing to pass onto me the locations, I will be glad to gather yours as I gather my own. As long as the glamour holds out, my speed will make it that much more quickly done.

[Though, being so fast pretty much means no partner will be able to keep up with him for this particular mission aside for his brother, who seems, thankfully, willing to help.]

If Xion will be passing out clothing, perhaps we can pass out weapons at the same time? I suspect we will be able to better distribute things if we are centralized.

[Obviously, their first focus is going to be outfitting and supplying the Turks themselves, but after that, when efforts expand to the whole Tower, organization will be key.]

[midgarhorizon]

[A slip of paper is palmed out of Reno's pocket, and he hands it to the Lancers.]

This is a list of places, but don't be surprised if ya got to check underneath things. I don't expect 'em all to be real. As far as my locker goes, I'll pick 'em up when I head downstairs. I'll trust you two and Xion to coordinate on the distribution.

[Something occurs to him then, and he glances off into space for a second.]

Y'might coordinate with Rick, too. The food's going to be important with everything going on.

[puppy_lancer]

Got it.

[He looks over the list of places.]

Meet them on floor 50 when we have the stuff, right?

[irreverence]

[Asagi isn't entirely sure why she's there- all she knows is Cu Chulainn had shown up at some point after the announcement and dragged her along without much explanation. But as she listens to Reno, she gets the idea that there's probably another of the tower's infamous 'missions' going down, and she wonders just how much they're going to be paying for it in the long run.

...well, at least she won't be bored for the day, that's for sure.

Eventually, she pipes up, frowning minutely, and asks-]

...if no one else will do it, I'll head outside. Otherwise, I'll just do whatever involves blowing the most stuff up.

[midgarhorizon]

[Wait, who is this? Reno pauses from pacing when she draws his attention. Is she with one of the others?

Not much time to ask, but if she's willing to take some directions, he'll take her up on it.]

We won't blow anything up yet, not until we get more intel, [and he didn't think that was likely, anyway] but I'd appreciate a report. Feels like something's happening to the Tower and I want to know what those crazy worker units are doing.

[irreverence]

Oh goodie. Peaceful resistance.

[Her voice is deadpan, but she doesn't much seem to care either way. But she shrugs idly and inclines her head in agreement, raising a hand to her mouth to nibble idly on a fingernail.]

In that case, anything specific I should be on the lookout for? Hate to miss anything important.

[midgarhorizon]

Use your best judgment. Stay away if it looks dangerous. We need intel more than a body. With them causing havoc down there, we might not get revived.

[He's looking over at everyone else now.]

I repeat; try not to get killed, we might not get revived.

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer knows it's Reno's job to assign the missions, but he can't help look over to her.]

...Be careful, Asagi,

[irreverence]

I think that's supposed to be my line, isn't it?

[She looks back at him, mouth quirking into a smirk.]

Or should it be more 'try not to do anything too stupid'?

[puppy_lancer]

Both apply, I guess.

[He gives a dry chuckle.]

And you make sure to not destroy too much of this place. We're going to need a place to pass out our stuff if anything.

[notachickenhawk]

[... Tobias eyes her carefully, trying not to laugh. There's something about her that reminds him of Rachel, and he shoves away that feeling.]

<I can go with you. One person to check the ground, one person to check the skies.>

[irreverence]

[It takes her a minute to realize that no, she isn't hearing voices, and then Asagi blinks and looks around curiously.]

...Oooooookay. Sure, why not?

[She's not much for the concept of needing 'backup' but she figures if there's someone else along, that's less work she has to do.]

[notachickenhawk]

<And if one of us gets killed, the other can get back here in time to report.>

[And yeah, splitting the load would work better.]

[savedbyasong]

Shion has a stash of weapons with him already and is currently tying ribbon to some of the handles though he does keep glancing at Reno as he speaks, paying attention to what he is saying. Once he is finished Shion speaks.

"These one's are real. I checked when the glamour went down fourty three minutes ago and haven't let them out of my sight since." There was another pile to the side without ribbon, "Those ones are foil. It's not a foolproof system as it can change overnight but it will at least help us today."

[midgarhorizon]

"Good work, son-" for a split second, Reno hesitated, a flash of confusion on his face, but it's gone as soon as it appeared. "Diarmuid's workin' on the distribution. I'd appreciate it if you worked with him for on that. Make sure the weapons are all real, then meet me up on Fifty. I need ya to go over the maps with me."

[savedbyasong]

"Alright." He nodded with a smile. "I will." Maps, he could do maps. He nodded and gathered up the weapons again to go and find Diarmuid.

[gradosfinest]

I can either help with checking the entire staircase or scouting the lower floors, whichever needs an extra person on it.

[Her tone is even and serious, but she confident enough in her current shape to be able to run the whole length of the Tower staircase if it comes down to it. And while monsters typically don't seem to wander around on the staircase proper, with the power out she gets the feeling they can't take anything for granted.

With the additional risk from the distinct possibility they might not be revived it's best to play things cautiously, and she's willing to go wherever Reno feels they need an extra sword.]

[midgarhorizon]

Good. You're with me, then. We'll go on the staircase.

[Amelia's a good, sturdy companion and he could use someone that could keep up with him. He has a tendency to leave other people behind by accident.]

[gradosfinest]

Understood. Down to the Cafeteria and then back up?

[Two hundred floors worth of stairs, in armor while carrying three different weapons. If there were ever a time she was thankful for all the training she'd been putting in since getting here, it's now.]
