USER: #A5211F - Defense Force

[swordfucker]

(COLOR)

Any of you who were able to go to the town meeting organized by Mitsuru will know that we discussed a designated defense force for the town. For those of you who weren't, or for anyone who wants a recap, I'll go over this as briefly as I can.

We know the forest is full of creatures not everyone understands, and that those dangers— or something similar— can leak into the town and cause trouble here, too. Those shadows were a perfect example, just like the speaking furniture. We're not always safe, and while there isn't always a threat that we can deal with physically to overcome it, having a defense force would make a lot of people more comfortable. Having people that are physically capable with someone at the top to organize them would be helpful to everyone, I think, especially those who aren't so combat ready.

So, I'm stepping up as leader. I didn't hear any opposition to that at the meeting itself, but if you want to know more about me, you can ask me whatever you want. Here's what I'm going to ask of all of you.

If you're interested in helping and capable in combat, no matter what methods you may use, then I'm asking you to sign up here. I'll keep a list of everyone, including their abilities and strengths/weaknesses, and organize this in a way that's most efficient. In order to do that, I also need suggestions.

Izuku mentioned patrols near the forest. That's one idea, and I want to hear any others that are out there, but here's the basic rundown:

I'll organize people by their strengths and put them in charge of certain activities or areas. How I do this depends on the number of people that sign up. If enough people sign up, I might assign ranks just enough for people to be able to report to someone even if I'm unable to be contacted or out of reach somehow. Once everyone who has wanted to has signed up, we'll schedule meetings and discuss what to do in case of an emergency, or other situations. Basic things like that are what I'm looking into, and most of it will come after I've heard from all of you, but let me know if you have any questions on any of it.

Before I end this, I have another quick question. What do you think our biggest weakness has been in all of this? What has caused the most harm, and if there was a drug that could aid you in this place, what would it be? A first aid or pain reducer? Strength enhancers? Magic resistance?

That's all. I'll answer any questions at any time as soon as I can.

(ooc: Gosh this got so long, but okay!! Like discussed at the town hall meeting, here's defense force sign ups and discussion!! This is just another great opportunity for CR and branching out thanks to IC discussion from characters (and thanks, Mitsuru, for bringing it up!), so feel free to suggest any and all things! Also, if your character wants to sign up but you don't want to tag this, just let me know oocly! You can hit me up oocly, too, if you have any questions or concerns with anything. PM me, or my plurk is zeloser!

edit: just a minor edit, but sorry I'm slow! I meant to boomerang after work but I'll have to wake for my weekend mid/late saturday and on. I'll also throw up an ooc post/discussion thing for this at some point!)

I'm on board. Ignis, too.

[ look at him totally conveniently volunteering ignis like nobody's business. ]

We're both pretty good in close or long-range combat, as well as spellwork, offensive or defensive. If you need healing potions, I can help. Just pass me the bottles of water, or something.

[swordfucker]

Great, thanks. That's all important.

But who's Ignis? I haven't met them.

[nascere]

[ oh, uh... ]

He also goes by Tellus

[swordfucker]

Does he, now.

[Knowing already the type of person "Tellus" is, he knows immediately what this means. God. Noct.]

Do you have permission to be signing him up for things?

[nascere]

[ is a prince floundering a little? maybe???? also because 'my retainer goes where i go' feels weird so

he totally makes it not weirder. slightly so. ]

it's ok he's my partner

[ ALSO WAIT WHAT KIND OF A PERSON DO U THINK TELLUS IS they need to get their stories straight ]

[swordfucker]

[Uh]

I feel like I'm learning more about him than he'd like for me to.

[nascere]

[ ???????

ok what the hell does ignis do on these things

is he like a masked vigilante? noctis is just scrambling to make things better -- ]

really?
he's still totally mysterious, though

[swordfucker]

Remind me not to tell you any secrets. Can you just tell him to reply here with his hex code so I can make sure he wants to do this?

[nascere]

[ :( ]

you got it
actually what do you know about tellus

[ he's curious!!! ]

[unfatalist]

Noct, do you by any chance recall that one rainy Saturday afternoon when I left you alone for fifteen minutes to run a set of brief errands and came back to half the kitchen floor covered in spilt milk and the eight waterlogged stray cats you'd hastily adopted in my absence tracking mud over every piece of furniture in your living room?

[nascere]

IT WAS RAINING

[ !! wait are you trying to shame him!!! ]

[swordfucker]

Hahahaha. That tells me his answer enough. Thanks for signing up, you two.

[unfatalist]

I'll be contacting you privately for a word, shortly.

I imagine that comes as no great surprise.

[swordfucker]

Nope. I'll be waiting.

[unfatalist]

I'm merely observing that I see your capacity for subterfuge has remained approximately on par since.
