[open] 11/9 hirajiro mystery gang

[ Over the past week and a half, either Kido or Akira have been going around asking Persona users to attend a meeting at noon on the 9th, with the meeting place being the first floor of the castle in the forest. People who Kido thinks will require dragging to the castle, she makes sure to find and drag over, since she wants everybody to be there in order to share their thoughts and get everybody on the same page. It's rare that everybody comes together like this, so she wants to make the most of it.

There isn't much in the way of furniture and the fridge in the Velvet Room is broken, so Kido can't rely on the kitchen to cook unending gyudon like she did last time. She'd stuck her head into the train this morning and saw something she really didn't need to see, so everybody else is also banned from entering the Velvet Room until the meeting is concluded. Instead, blankets are laid out on the ground and there's a stack of bento boxes which will be easy to eat while sitting outside. There's around three times as many bentos as the number of people, since she knows there's people who'd want seconds (or thirds or fourths or fourteenths... there's a limited amount this time, so no eating contests!!) and if there are any left over, people can take them home. ]


Is everybody settled? Food is on the throne over there, and there's barley tea and cups on the ground next to it, so eat up. Feel free to go back and get more if you're still hungry, but wait until everybody has the chance to get one first. When you're finished, put the box and chopsticks into the bag in the corner so I can wash them later. The cats have their own food, so do not feed the cats anything from the bento. If I catch you, you're not eating for the rest of the meeting.

[ She can't be sure if there's anything in the boxes that might be bad for cats, so it's a blanket ban, sorry cats... There are quite a few in the area, though, including Kano and Shiro. Kano especially does not get food. ]

Now, the first thing we need to talk about...

[ There are a few topics she wants to make sure they discuss, and then the floor is open for anything else people want to bring up, whether it's plot clues, mysteries people are looking into, general questions to bring up to the group, etc. Feel free to post a new toplevel for each new topic to discuss. Since it's a large open mingle, there may be threadjacking.

Also as a reminder, this month the reward for request 12 (two threads with fourth wall characters) is a plot clue in the form of a direct answer to any question your character may have. If there's something that comes up in the discussion that the characters are unsure of and think the Attendants might know (it's possible they might not), it's an option for getting those questions answered. ]

[Akira has a good point there, and it's not like anyone wants to stay here in Hirajiro, which is basically the other option.]

Did you ever talk to the other ones; the Daitengu?

[Akira really, really doesn't want to stay in Hirajiro. At least, he wants the option to go back to the home he was torn away from back in May 2017.]

No, but apparently, the people from the other Hirajiro are diplomatic with them.

We may have lost our chance by killing off two of them, but someone like you who wasn't involved might be able to do it. If you want to.

[Jiro wants that option too, to go back to exactly when he left. He was in the middle of something very important.]

I'm probably not the best person to talk to them.

[He might yell and insult them or something.]

The people from the other Hirajiro, though... if their diplomacy initiative or whatever they're doing worked, why are they saying their town is all messed up? Doesn't that mean they did something wrong?
infiltrationtools: (TIRED ⛓yeah it's the air we breathe)

Our town was pretty messed-up too, until very recently.

[Jiro must remember the flooding, right? He's pretty new, so it makes sense that he doesn't know what happened before then.]

There's been natural disaster after natural disaster ever since we got here... it doesn't sound like it was as bad as theirs, but it always takes us a long time to kill the Daitengu.

Because our numbers are so small.

[He does remember the flooding. It was receding when he showed up, funneling into the lake.]

I didn't know about anything but the flood. So, the Daitengu are responsible for that stuff if they're here too long.

[He maybe should have been getting more information from people before asking all his questions in a meeting where everyone else knew what was happening already.]
infiltrationtools: (TALK ⛓ but i don't want your opinion)

It seems likely.

[Akira honestly doesn't expect anything like that out of Jiro. It doesn't seem like his nature, and that's okay.]

We don't know for sure, but it's a solid assumption for now. Unless you can think of another explanation?

[personal profile] cicadashell 2019-11-15 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
No. That makes sense.

[From everything he's learned, anyway. The Daitengu will have to die in the end, which probably was the plan to begin with.]
