THE SQUAD DOES AN INTRO: GROUP MEET UP
OOC POST
The Green's binding spell finally works out its kinks and the entire group is teleported into the same area in the center of the city, near the statues of the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow.

Everyone in the group feels a tingling sensation as the magic sets in place and binds them. Anyone that tries to leave will now find themselves being teleported back if they wander too far. The group will have to try to stay together when it moves now.

They have a little bit of time to figure things out.

OOC INFO
✦ Post in actionspam format. Plots and mod-run events in the game are meant to be in actionspam format to keep a brisk pace.

✦ Free-for-all Post. This event will be in "free-for-all" format, meaning that threadhopping is encouraged and that threading should be treated in the same conversational way as network posts.

✦ By now, the language magic should be fully in place. By now, everyone should have magically learned Sylvaen so that everyone can speak it fluently and understand each other.

Perhaps it would be easier to get everyone to work together if you were to couch your words in better terms.

[ This guy is snotty as heck and Arturia already doesn't like him all that much. He reminds her (uncomfortably) of Gilgamesh or perhaps that priest that Rin had hated so much with his disdainful attitude. Besides, a king should respect their people--even if they're not really a king in this case. She watches Dixon topple over and sighs. ]

If you wish to engender co-operation, this sort of high-handedness is likely to drive people away from you, even if you happen to be correct on some points.

[ Hey, she wasn't good at being king for no reason. ]

Fashioning weapons of some type would likely be useful, though. Not all of us are armed and we don't know if anything dangerous is out there. We should be prepared for that, so thank you for reminding us to be prepared.

[ Said without a hint of sarcasm, too. ]

[wherenoonegoes]

Sun goddess and she probably wouldn't appreciate it.

[It's said as a mutter before the conversation moves on.]

We may have to resort to pointed sticks for that. I can make bows, but arrows won't exactly fly well unless someone's been collecting feathers to stabilize them.

[ Sothe considers for a moment, because on the one hand, does he really want to trust this crowd with his stuff?

But on the other hand, they're apparently stuck in this, whatever one even calls this situation, together. And goodness knows some people here are being enough of a problem that they don't need another one. ]

I have a few spare knives. If everyone promises not to stab each other.

[ There's only one knife obviously on his person. This kid has apparently Seen Some Shit. ]

[Arturia jumps in while Revan's still reciting the Code in her head to keep from saying what she's thinking, and she can feel her blood pressure drop by a few points as someone else joins her on the high ground. How is it possible to find people who argue more than the crew of the Ebon Hawk?]

[Brainy pulls out his omnicom with the slightest eyeroll and starts scanning again.]

I'd say that my standing with the group was the least of my priorities right now, if not for the fact that doesn't even rank.

[He's managed some non-hostile encounters with a few of the individuals here but he's always better at one-on-one interactions. Group dynamics were never his strong suite and he's the kind of person that just digs in and doubles down when facing conflict. It doesn't make him particularly likable.]

I wasn't trying to play peacemaker for the sake of it, I was trying to get everyone to cease their nattering so that I can actually concentrate.

[invisibleheir]

It has nothing to do with your standing in the group and entirely with convincing others to work with you.

[ Arturia closes her eyes for a moment and resists the urge to pinch the bridge of her nose, then looks back to the rest of the group. ]

In any case, I believe we were going through introductions. We left off with Phosphophyllite before things got out of hand. Who's next?

[ Don't focus on arguing with someone. Just keep moving. Try to keep people focused on something else. Anything else. ]
