Will you or won't you

[attheclocktower]

Characters: Anybody and everybody
Setting: Floor 1, before noon
Summary: Riki's offered a way to help keep the Tower powered a little longer. Obviously this is going to cause a lot of discussion and debate so let's CONSOLIDATE
Warnings: Nothing as of yet. Possibly eventually, so keep an eye on subject lines and I 'll try to change to reflect any developments

[No doubt Riki's announcement would be polarizing, but the instructions themselves were clear: Floor 1 at noon if you want to help out. And if you want to meet people, try to talk them in or out of it? Or hell, maybe even just talk about the revelation on who is behind those explosions? Well, this is as good a place as any for that too.

Just remember to be careful near the staircase]

I don't think it's for fun. It must be for revenge. The very first of these explosions were on the heels of the largest infiltration I know of in this place, that involved people from all walks of life, the good and depraved working side by side. I heard afterwards Jason himself came under attack.

[midgarhorizon]

...Yeah. Xion told me about some of it. I didn't know it was that soon after.

[Again, he's thoughtful.]

Enoch, when you guys get back... [When, not if.] I'd like to make the information we got more complete.

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch nods.* What do you have in mind?

*Not that he'll be able to do much at first, though he's unaware of the extent of the exhaustion Riki mentioned.*

[midgarhorizon]

Interviews.

[Shrug.]

Optional. But it'll help break the silence. We might get some of the pieces we're missin'.

[warriorscribe]

I wouldn't mind participating. One such attempt was made, but as a general survey of worlds and abilities on the network, rather than sensitive information. There was a good response, so...perhaps something more discreet for more important things will draw others the same way. It isn't as if we lack the means.

*Which is a sideways way of saying now they have a truly discreet place to perform them.*

[midgarhorizon]

[Reno nods.]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[warriorscribe]

Riki says we'll suffer from exhaustion...there isn't any way of knowing how severe. Don't wait on me if you feel it will take too long. Interviews should be fairly easy to set up, regardless.

[midgarhorizon]

Depends how much she gives us to deal with... won't be holding out hope for gettin' it done by the end of the month, at least.

[warriorscribe]

If she isn't too busy inflicting her terror on Jason instead. *He glances at the elevator.* How do you propose it be done?

[midgarhorizon]

Ah... Shion'd be better thinking up something like that... maybe spreading it word of mouth, adding names to a list, setting some sort of schedule. I'm not real good at the administrative stuff.

[Awkwardly, Reno shifts his weight to one foot and scratches his neck, running one finger along his collar.]

I wouldn't trust either the mail or the network for somethin' like that. She might notice and they got ways of making us forget things.

[warriorscribe]

Not directly, if the word spreads quickly enough. But even then, we could accidentally lead her to something we don't want her to see. So you're right. Among us, Judas is our bookkeeper, if Shion needs any help.

*Though he should be able to do the same, considering he's a scribe...but then there's this thing. Who knows what kind of state it will leave him in and how long.*

[midgarhorizon]

Yeah, exactly. Ruana's month, so who knows what'll happen. Shion's going down with you, so it might take longer than usual anyway... but I'll point him that way once we get down to it.

[warriorscribe]

You can approach him yourself if you feel you must start earlier.

*No need to maintain too much of a divide. Knowing the right people with the right skills shouldn't depend on who they affiliate with. Unless those affiliations seek to harm one another and slow everything down.*

[midgarhorizon]

[Reno nods.]

Don't worry about it too much. Focus on yourself for a while, Enoch.
