When Children Gather

[idkmybffxiao]

Characters: The kids of Utopia Academy (and anyone who might try to eavesdrop or muscle on into the meeting)
Format: Action! Party post! Threadjacking encouraged!
This log is: Open
Location: One of the pavilions hidden in the woods.
Summary: Lyra and Mei try to get an alliance amongst the younger students going. (During 4th Day color swap event, btw!)
Warnings: Children. B|

[Hey, kid, did you get that note? Someone may have passed it to you between classes or during mealtime or told you about it directly, in hushed tones like it should be a secret. The information was simple: some kids thought it might be a good idea to form an alliance, to keep other kids from having to get dragged into any actual fighting. There were also directions, to a shaded simple wooden pavilion in the woods.

A huge blanket has been laid down over the floor of the pavilion, not unlike a picnic blanket. Lyra brought along snacks; cans of soda and other treats. At one corner of the blanket are pieces of paper held down by a rock, along with pencils and pens, in case they needed to take notes or record anything.]

Right. [nod!] ...oh, um-- do you think we should get Link Charms to help? All of us, I mean?

[loyal_liar]

Maybe- but they're expensive, right? Five tokens each... Besides, if we make the promise anyway, maybe we won't need 'em?

[greennotgold]

Oh, right... I guess that's true.

Your brother is a jerk anyway. You shouldn't have to be his weapon like that.

[Her opinion of Russel, imagine how low it is.]

[greennotgold]

H-He is not! [So sad] And I bought the Link Charm anyway.

[idkmybffxiao]

But he hurt you. [Siigh, so much sigh.] ...though I guess you can't do anything about the charm now.

[greennotgold]

...I know... [sigh. He should have expected that other people wouldn't be able to see what he sees.]

threadjacks here also :P

[Romeo had been sat silently listening. A little excited, this was very like the Black Brothers, which Alfredo had set up to help all the chimney sweeps be brave and work together. That had worked so well, and here where the adults were much kinder Romeo thought it would work really well! His eyes go wide though when Mei spoke.]

Your boss hurt you? [He moves closer looking worried and angry]

[greennotgold]

No! I-

He's not my boss, he's my brother, and he didn't hurt me!

[myblueskies]

[Frown and another peer to make sure Fletcher's alright]

He's your boss in the Exaclan though right? Anyways brothers should always protect each other so he better not hurt you!

[Enki has been sitting on a bit of rail instead of on the blanket since he arrived, but has stayed quiet. If Shoryu ever hears about him sitting around listening to this little strategy session (which he won't), his master will laugh at him forever. The fact that he's vaugely more monochrome than usual, his skin being a pale lion-colour and his hair more golden? Well, let's not talk about that. Especially not the (hidden by his clothes) multicoloured spots on his back. Yes, currently Enki kind of had the colour-scheme that he did as a kirin.]

Kid, I saw that fight, and if he didn't mean to hurt you, he shouldn't have acted as he did. I'm sure he loves you, but that doesn't make up for his behaviour. [Enki snorts and shakes his head. He hadn't planned to see that fight, but it hard started extremely suddenly, and then he'd just gotten stuck, not actually following it, but rather looking at Fletcher. Poor kid had looked absolutely crushed. Which he kinda did now too...]

Don't worry, though, I'm sure he just let the situation get the better of him. [Enki finished, voicing this part of his judgement out loud instead of keeping it to himself.

But that's what fighting did. Even if there was no blood... how could you ever justify causing pain like that?]

[greennotgold]

He didn't hurt me. [He pulls his knees up and rests his chin on them, and looks down at the ground. How did this even come up? Russel was one of the nice ones...] And I can't get rid of the link charm anyway so it doesn't matter.

[Romeo looks sadly at Fletcher, he looked upset and he was probably embarased having to talk about it, that had been one of the unspoken rules of the Black Brothers, no one spoke about their bosses or any of the bad things that happened to them. It was enough they all where together and knew what each other felt. He reaches into his pocket at pulls out an apple and hands it to Fletcher] It's alright, you don't have to talk about it.

[He frowned, not being able to get rid of the link charm was a problem, because that meant Fletcher belonged to his brother whenever his brother was a player, but back at home no one had chosen who they worked for, here it was different. He gives Fletcher a small smile and takes his hand, a reminder to keep his spirits up.] Don't worry, we'll watch out for each other alright, and you can always come and hide here for a while.
