MEETING!

[selfloyalty]

Okay so a week ago before I dropped off the face of Exsilium, Anora made an announcement suggesting a meeting of sorts to gather information about the people who were brought into the Initiative. She's doing this mostly to assert her power and try to find a use for her diplomatic/leadership tendencies, but it's also an attempt to form a coherent understanding of what everyone is capable of doing in order to form a list of everyone's strengths and weaknesses so when the time comes and another mission is upon them, they have the resources to strategize.

Basically, this will hopefully be a big meeting sort of thread where characters can mingle and get to know each other, and where Anora and others who are leadership-types can get together all the resources they need in order to form a big cooperative, organized group.

Because things are disorganized and a Queen likes seeing order.

Anyway I'll go more into detail when I can properly form words but basically, I want an OOC headcount. Who here is interested in doing this? I'm going to figure I'll have her make an announcement sometime next week, and the log will go up the weekend of the 11th. And it will, of course, be backtag friendly.

I'm still figuring out how this will work but yeah, who's game for a group meeting? Also feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them!

I'm in!

[septim]

Should the mages meeting shimmy off this meeting, or be a separate gathering?

Also, present and accounted for.

[selfloyalty]

It's all up to you! If they have their own little Circle going then Anora would probably just ping one to give her information to go by.

Yes well the mages' meeting will have pie.

Pie is important to mages.

[septim]

I thought robes and cats were the mages' bread-and-butter.

[birdhousesoul]

Maybe for you free mages. It's canon that Anders thinks the smell of a pie baking is the smell of freedom.

[septim]

You're underestimating the wonderful scent of a brand new robe.

[noble_nate]

He never did say what kind of pie, though....

[birdhousesoul]

There can be only one.

[noble_nate]

High five

I DO GOT A QUESTION, when is the meeting happening in game time? This dude's gone around 4/30 so if it's after that, he may not be able to make it. OTHERWISE HE'S GAME B)

[selfloyalty]

Unfortunately in-game time it's probably going to happen some time after the 30th. :(

She made the announcement ICly on the 26th so I would figure having a meeting on the 30th would just be too quick to be plausible.

[stonefaith]

That makes sense! In which case, resident zombie's probably gonna have to be MIA for this meeting :'C

/REACHES FOR

[stonefaith]

/REACHES BACK
/BUT TRAGICALLY CAN'T MAKE IT. . . . . . .

Osprey's going to be off with Bariyan, but he might try joining in by teleconference.

Vitali's in!

Is there a circle of mages and does every mage have to join? Just curious. Vitali's of the magical persuasion.

[septim]

Nope, no obligatory mages' circle here because Anders wouldn't like thatjust a group forming in the spirit of magical knowledge and research.

And Martin afraid that a bunch of kiddies might set the compound on fire. Not everybody is 'professionally trained', after all.

[selfloyalty]

As far as I know, not officially! Martin (Septim) made an announcement for all the mage/magic users to meet up, so I would ping either his mun or Anders' mun about any magic shenanigans. :)

[birdhousesoul]

Long story short, Anders jumped into Exsilium ranting about mages like he does, & has subsequently made a couple of stabs at mage community-building that his horrible mun never follows up on. His magebro/roomie Martin has now picked up the project by spamming all mages. ;)

So, the Initiative hasn't tried to force the mages into any kind of group (which is good because Anders and maybe also Fiona would flip out due to canon issues) but the transports are kind of sort of making a mage group of their own.

[last_man_standing]

Oh, okay! Thanks!

[birdhousesoul]

:D ALL MAGES ARE GOOD except for BLOOD MAGES they are the worst

[last_man_standing]

Vitali would have so many issues with blood magic. SO MANY ISSUES.

and I may or may not have a character that's a blood mage.....

[bloodupontherisers]

Definitely in for this. :D

[uncalled_for]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FIONA'S STUCK ON A DIFFERENT ROOOOOOOCK. Can we maybe ingamely push it to .... whenever on earth the little boat gets back? :(((((((

[selfloyalty]

MAIN REASON WHY I POSTED THIS

do you guys know when they'll be back? knowing Anora she'll be patient enough to wait for the others to return because it's ~important~ that as many people as possible sow up.

[uncalled_for]

GOOD THINKING /sobs.

We don't know at this point I think. Maybe it's safe to say they take a week out there? So they'd be back maybe the 7th? But... ffft, I'm not the organizer obvs soooo hrrrrrrmn.

[onemoredeath]

Takegami will show up if only to lurk in the corner and make little jabs at the people because that is what he likes doing.

[bellonaborn]

Reyna's in.. and she's a leadership type. ^^b
