December FamMeet

Who: The Grove
What: Town Hall
When: Mid-Late December
Where: Inn Lobby
Warnings: Child death mentions, torture, body horror all probably will be brought up.

[ In the morning, Irene will trek around the Grove to knock on doors and let everyone know she's setting up a information sharing meeting in the Inn's lobby. She figures there would be best, considering the new fireplace (thread pending on my behalf) set up and the fact it's about as safe as they're going to get.

Irene also lets everyone know that any fights and any blatant drama starters will be met with punishment. She doesn't elaborate on this further. Zahliya is invited. Irene tells Moder if she wants to sit by the door to listen, she can. She does not invite the merchant siblings, however - though she'll make no objections if someone else does.

She seems to be writing things down in their shared journals this meeting so people can reference this later.

Irene!! What do you think you're doing!?

[Everyone knows everyone else here, right? Sure things have been a little chaotic, but it's only been him and Wolfwood really causing problems! So surely, surely this woman isn't going to actually -

Well, there he goes, letting his belief in others keep him from taking action. He watches the blade sink in and -

immediately leaps to his feet. Peacebringer is out and pointed not at Irene's body, but at the hilt of her sword.]


Hey, whoa! Put the sword down. Now!

[ And as he does that, the Knight clad in armor from before comes to form again. A quick flurry of gold, shaping him in an immediate manner. A sharp lance points towards Vash and his body is placed in between him and Irene. So that the gun instead Points to him. ]

Lower your weapon.

[haha oh no you don't-

Just as Lancelot brings up his lance, Wolfwood is standing some ways off still, except now he's holding that cross he'd kept bound up this entire time.

The cloth is all on the floor now, and instead it's glinting black and blue in the light of the flames. He hasn't lifted it yet, but it's clear this thing is not a cross, but an actual weapon.]


Watch it, old man.
oleaeuropaea: (When the Leaves)

[personal profile] oleaeuropaea 2023-12-19 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's one way of getting him to lower his weapon. He turns to Wolfwood, gun lowering. Even when he'd tried to speak to Irene, his tone had been light enough. That brevity is gone as he turns to Wolfwood.]

Don't. Put it away, Wolfwood.
lupusxylem: (14)

[personal profile] lupusxylem 2023-12-19 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wolfwood's gaze narrows. Still, he has yet to raise the gun. It's still pointed gun-end down on the floor.]

Kindof too late for that, needle-noggin.
oleaeuropaea: (The Bringer...)

[personal profile] oleaeuropaea 2023-12-19 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't make this worse than it is.

[Vash is confident he can disarm Irene if necessary. The Punisher isn't for disarming. It's good for nothing but destruction.]

Put it away.

[ Mizuki is none the wiser when Irene approaches. He’s always been bad at reading people. He does know that Irene isn’t happy with him just based on his knowledge of Irene — she’s quite the scary lady. A true Inquisitor. Which is plenty apparent when she pulls out the rapier.

Mizuki’s Seaborn instincts drive him, fortunately, which means he’s able to duck out of the way for any more holes being poked into him, but that doesn’t mean that he avoids it completely. There’s a rather nice slash cut into his upper arm now. Between his Seaborn regeneration and his newly acquired moon powers, the cut won’t be there by the end of the night for sure, but…

Yes, Irene. That’s blue blood. Yes, Irene, him side-eyeing the fireplace is because he’s Seaborn. Yes, Irene.

He hasn’t been Aegir for a long time. He takes two quick steps back, but at this point they’re, perhaps, both staring at the azure stain on her blade.



He finally meets her gaze. ]
I’m… I’m sorry—

[ Hey, why are you the one apologizing here, Mizuki? ]

[ Caoimhe just nyooms in, attempting to throw her body over Mizuki and hold him extremely close to her chest. As if she is trying to shield him from anything else coming at him. Not her little brother!!! She just tightly holds him, and falls into a protective stance and hides her face. ]

Irene.

[Sesa has been on his feet this entire time, but. Now he's actually taking a step forward, ready to stand between her and Mizuki himself if need be.]

That is not your decision to make.

[Sesa knows he is speaking from a place of ignorance. He is from Sargon, after all.

But to him, none of that matters. Mizuki, no matter what, is nothing more than Mizuki to him.]
mooninthewater: (314)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2023-12-20 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, no, no, he doesn’t want anyone to fight. Especially not because of him. He’s not important, why fight over him??

What is he supposed to do?

“Monster,” she says, and this makes him once again back away, slipping from Caoimhe like water and away from Sesa. ]


It’s alright. Please, don’t fight. I can go, that’s okay…

[The chaos made Elsword poke his head around the corner even though he really, seriously shouldn't have. Mizuki told him to be away for this discussion.

And then Mizuki gets stabbed. Everyone starts yelling, it's hard to hear anything over that and the voices that are already in Elsword's head since he's corrupted.

Somehow, monster comes through perfectly clearly.

Elsword is downstairs again in a flurry of wings and anger. He hasn't been angry in what feels like months.]


The only monster here is the one that attacked my friend, [staring daggers at Irene,] and if he goes, I go.

This isn't the first time you've attacked someone close to me, after all.
mooninthewater: (182)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2023-12-20 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mizuki… does his best to laugh it off. He puts up his hands, trying his best to diffuse the situation. He just wants to disappear. He doesn't want to leave and force Elsword to do something dumb on his behalf. Or anyone else. He doesn't want anyone to be mad at Irene, either. ]

I'm alright! Look, it's all healed up, she didn't hurt me that bad — please stop. Irene has every right to be mad at me. I lied. She's right. If I wasn't a monster, there would have been no reason to lie, right?

It's okay.

…I'm sorry…
oleaeuropaea: (No One Will Save You Now)

Listen, ma'am...

[Vash isn't stepping in front of her, not when there are so many more faces saying so many things.]

The last thing any of us are gonna do is judge someone for not being human, okay? [He holds up a hand. The space around Vash will glow just a little lighter, just for a second. An incomprehensible array of patterns will span across his skin in bioluminescent light, then disappear.]

So let's calm down and put the weapons away.

You don't understand!

[Elsword earlier: I have no emotions they're hard for me to feel.
Elsword now: Hey look guys I found the emotions!]


You're not the one corrupted! You're not the one with the thing in the woods screaming in your head telling you that it can do whatever it wants to you! You're not the one who has plants coming out of your skin and your skull, you're not the one who's been getting the shit beaten out of him for months, you're not the one with the Forest reminding you that it won't even give you the honour of letting you die!

[Elsword takes a breath. It does absolutely nothing to calm him down.]

Mizuki is nothing like that corruption, but you wouldn't know that because you're not me, and you're not Nene, and you're not Moder or any of the other people out there that have been turned into monsters against their will! Mizuki has been nothing but kind to everyone here, including you.

You don't know a thing about anything anyone has experienced. Not him, and not me.

Mizuki... Lets go, for now - not because you do not belong here. [ The Jelly fish slinks away, but Caoimhe steps closer. Not too close, the space is his to take. She casts an idle look towards Irene, Sesa, and now Elsword as the two exchange words. ] But because things are escalating and - - their tempers need to be calmed down.

I understand but... [ Irene is a woman of action, and the harshness behind her threat laid itself bare. ] We should at least respect Irene's request for now, and come back to talk to her once she is settled... I trust Elsword to do the right thing, and everyone here to act how they need to... They are your friends, but right now - Mizuki, you should focus on yourself. Okay?

[ She tries to offer Mizuki a way out, attempts to gently help him get away from this stressful situation where two people are not connecting and the pressure within the room seems so heavy. ]
