[ It's his first time posting to the forum and Shiro's hex code is a dark blue, easy on the eyes. ]

Hello! I'm Takashi Shirogane (you can call me Shiro for short), back home I'm the captain of the IGF-Atlas. Some of you may know Keith, he's been around the forums a little more than me, we're both from the same world.

When I got here I noticed that the environment changes around the time those "quests" are completed, always after people have worked together toward a goal ... however weird it may be ... and on a side-note, thank you to whoever had enough influence to turn the harbour so colourful. It looks great.

Anyway, my point is that maybe we could all spend a day getting to know each other. I think it's a good idea for us to stay alert with the trees encroaching on the town but it can't hurt for us to come together and see what outcome an en masse meeting has. Maybe any new friendships formed will affect Chroma in a positive way in the future. In my experience team-bonding exercises can only lead to good things, and I think the community could benefit in the long term from a day spent opening up to each other.

So! I'm not suggesting a wild party, but some food definitely wouldn't go amiss. Would anyone be willing to cook for the town? We could work out some games too, like a competition to draw a town flag or figure out a motto, and music would also be great if we have any musicians with us. Whatever you can think of, feel free to suggest it.

I firmly believe that activities which bring us together can only make us stronger.
I look forward to getting to know more of you.

:)

I did music for the last townwide hoedown. I could probably swing it again.

[paladads]

That's great!
Wait, how many hoedowns has this place had ... ? :o

[whichcraft]

Just the one. I think the point of that one was to bring back the color in the sun? It was some really big celestial thing and we all had to work together to do it.

[paladads]

That sounds like a lot of work. How was the sun colourless? What did its light look like? Was it watery and pale? That's interesting to think about.

not to be a downer (DEFINITELY not about a party!! i am so team party!!!!) but the town or the quest givers or whoever don't seem to care if good OR bad relationships get stronger either way. so making sure there's somewhere to go for ppl who like.........don't want to hang out with certain ppl might be a good idea. like a powder room or something.

[paladads]

Are you okay, Prompto? You can come around if you want to talk.

[photoshooter]

i'm fine!! everything's fine!!! a party's a great idea, i'm just saying!!!!!

[Sorry for your eyes, Shiro. Rin's color is pretty horribly bright blue.]

yo

i run chroma cafe in bluo and ive done food for events in the past

usually means i dont get to participate much in the actual party but im cool with that

[paladads]

That would be great! Who am I talking to?

I'm sure you'll get a chance to relax and have a good time too.

[satanslash]

[ Color. ]

You're an optimist, aren't you.

But if whoever's cooking needs ingredients that need to be fetched, including from the woods, I can help with that.

[paladads]

Pessimism doesn't mix well with a go-getting attitude, I guess.

That would be great, thank you! Who am I speaking to?

[allfornothing]

I think you might be surprised. There're all sort of people and so on.

I'm Crowe. Crowe Altius.

What a splendid idea!

[ Zero intention of turning up to it all, but he's going to comment anyway ~]

[paladads]

[ He knows the damage Ardyn has done to his friends, Ignis was thorough in his retelling and Prompto's reactions are so visceral they ache with honesty. Even so, there's hardly a peace-keeping force in Chroma and Shiro doesn't want to spark any unnecessary fights by deliberately obstructing anyone from growing as a person (if they can) and getting to know others.

That's why he stares at Ardyn's message and sighs, typing a diplomatic reply through his reluctance. Fairness ought to win out while they share this neutral territory. ]

You're welcome to join in.

[scourged]

[ It's what makes it all so easy to make comments on such announcements; Ardyn knows he doesn't need to be there in person. No, it's just the thought of him possibly being there that will have the others sweating.

That and there's enough going on right now.]

I appreciate the offer, however I think I shall politely decline and simply ask for the meeting minutes instead.

A splendid idea, Shiro. We certainly could use such an event after all we've been through.

[paladads]

Maribelle! :D
I'm glad you think so, you must have some wonderful ideas to help us set up. Games? Music?

[troubadamsel]

Well, we lack proper musical instruments, but I do know a few songs I could teach. As for games, I do know a few interesting ones based around dice.

[surprise : mari's a gambler.]

Team-bonding activities, Captain?

Kosmo can play fetch, or something.

[paladads]

[ Oh, hi. Hi, you. ]

Catch the pup?

[parakalein]

[ Hey yourself, handsome. Keith loves everything that Shiro is doing here -- he's so proud of him. ]

Wanna try?

[sirnyxalot]

It’s not a bad idea. We’ve had things like that in the past, a few gatherings, town meetings etc, but I think the town’s bullshit has been making it harder to organize anything.

That and a lot of our original “leaders” have disappeared. Presumably sent back to where they came from, but who knows for sure?

[paladads]

Who did you consider your 'leaders'?

[sirnyxalot]

It wasn't in any kind of official capacity. There were just certain people who knew how to get the ball rolling on things.

When we first got to this place there wasn't any food or resources beyond whatever lay in the forest. It was pretty much a scramble to make sure we had shelter and something to eat.

Some of us are still around, of course, but there are more residents, too.
