[ open ] all hands on deck

Who ⬤ sakamoto ryouma (rider) + other sutoku alliance lost souls
What ⬤ post-event emergency meeting
When ⬤ several hours after the assassination
Where ⬤ konoha — vip area
Content Warnings ⬤ none right now but will update as needed!

[ once the dust (steam?) has settled, an sms goes out to fellow sutoku alliance contacts. some might recognise the username rider more than others and know the man it's attached to but in any case, everyone who shows up will know him soon enough anyway. ]

Hello!

There's a lot of confusion right now, but what's important is to stay calm and not do anything hasty. I'll be organising a meeting tonight at Konoha. Let's exchange what we know and discuss next steps. You're going to have to pay for your own refreshments though, sorry! Space is on me though! (*_ _)人

Don't be discouraged! We're only getting started. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

If you think there are any other Sutoku who haven't gotten this, pass the message along, ok?

— Rider


[ someone has to keep the spirit of the daitengu alive, okay?? the message also comes attached with a calendar invite. ]




[ later, anyone arriving for the meeting will be directed to the club's VIP area and encouraged to place food and drink orders as desired. this has definitely set ryouma back, but under the present circumstances, there's no better time than this to spare no expense, right? ]



ooc; this is a mingle in addition to a general sort of information sharing prompt so feel free to throw your own top levels up and thread amongst yourselves! i give everyone free rein to threadjack as you see fit — just check with other individual players if you have any questions!
☆ i left the exact time of the meeting sort of open, but assume it's sometime within the next half-day or so after the assassination to account for people needing to finish up investigations, potentially heal up a little after fighting, time for him to book the club, etc. feel free to have characters wander in late too!
☆ i also provided the option for characters to phone in (since it was mentioned to me on the ooc post), so if they can't make it in person they can still be in the loop!
☆ any non-Sutoku tag-a-longs are assumed to be showing up late so as not to be sitting in on private discussions earlier in the night.

[ Ydris’s interjection gets a sour look from Junpei, and some crabby muttering beneath his breath. ]

You don’t HAVE to keep an eye on me ...

[ Then Ethan speaks and the dragon is given some reprieve from the teen’s stink eye. ]

Why is everyone always telling me to enjoy myself? Am I the only one who remembers we’re in HELL? This isn’t a vacation. And if one faction or another falls we’ll still BE in hell. It just changes whose pawn we are.

[ Don’t worry Ethan he has his own family size box of pessimism you don’t need to share. ]

You just... made the whole case for why you should be enjoying yourself.

[a hand on Junpei's shoulder, staring him down with that unblinking intensity]

I'm not enjoying myself because I started to care about this. The moment I stop caring is the moment I find bliss and yet here I struggle.

[emphatically]

Give me a french fry.

Yeah, like, having a good attitude isn't going to make it not hell but neither's having a bad attitude.

[this ain't christian hell, we can't guilt our way out of this]

[So, he's swiping a plate off Junpei's plate and tossing it up over to Ydris. While he doesn't wholly accept that not caring was the solution. He would argue he's caring an okay amount. It's at least easier on the psyche.]

I was enjoying MY food just fine, you know.

[ He’s not going to pout. Nope. Going to take a deep breath and readjust his settings back to nonchalant and unaffected.

He leans back in his seat, taking the last few sips of his drink through the straw until the telltale sound of sucking in air tells him he’s out of liquid. ]


Eating is necessary. Other things people have been telling me to do that are more frivolous I can’t wrap my head around. At any rate, I’m mostly useless until I can get my shikigami back to its full power.

[With permission, the fry goes sailing through the air and harmlessly "dink"s against Ydris' appearance. Ethan shoots him a thumbs-up for his impeccable reflexes before diving back in to eat more of Junpei's food (paid for by Ydris' money) himself.]

So you're gonna say you're useless and refuse to do anything "frivolous" until you're not?

[can't relate]

And you're still worried about someone like me, huh! [he stops to laugh] Guess you aren't too bad, then.

[He does at least get some feeling that, right, he shouldn't be pushing the feel-good train at a post-mortem strategy meeting for their weirdo leader. Unless the whole thing falls apart, they're allies at the most basic level.]

[The table's been caught! ... not that Ethan seems too upset by it, this is a kind of information and strategy meeting. If anything, he's more surprised it's not a snap back to the focus of the meeting. He's used to being chided for pulling things off topic.]

Nothing for nothing, but like nine out of ten people think I'm a youkai and not a lost soul. And don't I give the air of someone who can handle themself?

[he stops to point to his cheeks with a kind of mock-cuteness, not addressing anything about why he might assess himself as not needing another person's concern]

Plenty of people out there will just say you get what you get if you mess up, say something to the wrong person, or swipe the wrong snack. Just the fact he's trying to warn me says he's kind, right?

[also the fact this is now fry #9 he's taken off the other's plate]
