[ On the morning of the 15th, there is a network-wide ping issued approximately twenty-three minutes after the roster is released to the public. ]

Hello.

As I'm certain you all are aware, a roster has been sent to each of our devices. Given that this is yet another item on a growing list to be examined by us all, I believe it's important for each of us to come together to discuss any possible concerns or ideas that may require teamwork.

@PALPATINE and I earlier discussed the possibility of a non-compulsory meeting to sort through these issues. We agreed it would be in our best interests.

If you're inclined, please come to the Mess Hall at 19:00 in three day's time.

[ ooc: so! this will be broken down into sub-headings as discussed on the ooc plot post and utilized as a kind of "catch-all." if you think anything needs to be added at any time, please feel free to contact me through pm, at rasasvada, or on disco at morning star#3715. or, you know, add it yourself! i don't mind.

noticeably, this is self-directed! if you character wants to speak or make a point to everyone, feel free to do so. no one is policing how this goes or making introductory comments or whatever else. open floor, y'all. ]

Huh? Oh! Yeah. The whole wings thing. [ don't go thinking they're fake, either. she sort of... stretches one out a little, shaking it in the bird approximation of a wave. ] Aren't they cool? I mean, I am the devil, so it- makes sense, sort of?

[ she's not the first devil to have wings. maybe the first to keep them this long, though. ]

{oooh my god it moves. it's not just a weird effect or something, it actually moves.

Hajime makes a little deflated noise.]

Yeah, you, um... said something like that when we were texting.

[Again, he kind of just... looks to the wings again.]

I didn't think it was, like... a real thing. Sorry, maybe I should have.

[wingstosee]

...what else would it be?

[ she doesn't even look. upset?? just confused. a look that's being reflected off approximately one (1) metric fuckload of eyes in her wings. ]

[hopefragment]

[They're all looking at him. He can't help but shrink back a little, even as he's trying to be cool and confident and. polite.

...There's no way to politely tell someone he thought she was joking because it just sounded too weird, right?]

W-Well, I mean... usually when people say stuff like that, they're, you know...

[Even his ahoge is wilting.]

Just making it up. Where I'm from, anyway. Um... sorry.

[wingstosee]

[ now that she notices - his movement back, the taken aback look in his eyes. she brings her wings just a little bit back, gently pressing them together behind her back. ]

Really? Huh. [ that's. so weird to imagine?? ] Back home, saying that kind of thing was a good way to get people trying to kill you. Or at least to beat the devil out of you? I guess that sort of depends on how nice they were. Either way people didn't really lie about that kind of thing.

[hopefragment]

[Shouldn't you be a little more cautious just telling strangers about this, then...?

He's keeping that thought to himself, relaxing a little once the gaze of the wings isn't quite so focused on him. He's just not used to being the center of attention, much less from some eyeball-covered wings.]

Oh... I see. I'm sorry.

[he doesn't know what else to say to that.]

Do they, um... make it difficult? To walk around here, I mean.

[Just trying to change the subject to something a little less heavy, and yet something he can still try to understand.]

[wingstosee]

[ should she? yes. does she want to? hell no. it's not like she's in any danger here - three devils is more than enough to handle whatever god could throw at them. ]

Don't be? Haha. It's not like they can do anything now. [ she switches over easily to the new topic, smiling wide and beginning to ramble. ] And actually, they make it way easier? I've always been really clumsy, you know? So I used to trip over things all the time, or bump into people, or just lose my balance. But now I have another set of arms to just... sort of stop myself with? It makes everything so much nicer. I don't know how I really walked around without these.
