[ 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. ]

[Haru does let go as quick as she grabbed. She doesn't keep contact for very long. She also notices Ryuji's expression pretty quickly. Her hand moving to his shoulder in quick contact, squeezing it. She's fine, Hinata hasn't done anything.

She smiles at him again.]

Sorry for being so dramatic all of a sudden.

[ryuji]

[Why are they touching him? It's like a guiding hand. A beacon of inspiration to do the rebellious shitty teenager thing. Or, you know, in Ryuji's case.... just to make sure he's not getting any kind of ideas here. Those kind of ideas. He's watching you, Hajime.]

Eh. What's life without a little bit of flair for the dramatic.

[And yet, he's cordial, and still goofy about it. The air around here is getting way too serious and way too close to comfort for the whole... ... ... did someone say PHANTOM THIEVES business?]

This party's gettin' kinda lame.

[It's? Not a party, Ryuji.]

I was expectin' some fireworks, some clash of people. Looks pretty civil. Maybe we should just chill for a bit, anyway.

[hopefragment]

[Stop he's a good boy!!

He just laughs, able to breathe more easily once she releases his shoulder. Is Ryuji ever going to let go though... mysteries.]

I'm glad there aren't any fireworks. I mean... that's the best possible outcome, isn't it?

[He shoves his hands in the pockets of his jumpsuit, glancing over the crowd at large.]

I think... I'm gonna go talk to some more people, though. If you're done using me as an armrest.

[Pointedly looking up to Ryuji. Hey. The physical contact is weirdly nice, but also. Get off??]

[mapsio]

If that is what you would like to do, I suppose we will run into one another later?

[Haru will have to apologize later for hiding things. Just, right now she really can't. She has to protect herself and her friends over telling someone things that she hardly knows.

No hard feelings.]
