AHEM.

In a few days we will be having our second defense meeting. I realize they have dragged in several new people and I would say welcome but I highly doubt everyone feels that way.

For those new, however, I’m certain you’ve discovered the issues some may have with the Initiative. I’ll be honest when I say they could hardly give a damn about us. We are weapons to them and nothing more. Although there have been some improvements in their leadership they still leave us on the battlefields to fend for ourselves with little guidance and with little warning beforehand.

In the past months our issues have been with organizing ourselves into a unified force. We are here whether we like it or not, the more we fight the issue the less likely we will survive.

This defense group is meant to be our unification, it will defend those who cannot defend themselves and provide a more tactical offense.

I encourage you to join us and just see what this group is capable of doing. I don’t expect everyone to agree with any unification but I hope most will understand its necessity to at least try and do so. We may not agree with our predicament but there is little to fight otherwise.

The second defense meeting will be held just outside of the botanical gardens, we’ll be starting in the early morning on… [Stupid earth calendars, have a pause] Saturday.

Thank you and I hope you consider coming.


[There’s a long pause. And. Oh. Almost forgot.] And… I’ll try and answer any questions that others may have, concerning the meeting or otherwise. For the moment I am leading it, but there will be a nomination and vote come the third meeting of which I hope everyone who is able attends. At that time we will be deciding which people are suitable to lead smaller groups and should that go well, an overall leader will be decided come a later time.


[OOC: Here are all the OOC deets and guide to scheduling - Or a better explanation than Fiona's. HAH. THANKS GUYS YOU ARE FABULOUS.]

Right.

I'm in.

Let's see.

This place is an utter mess, none of my friends or family know me, and I keep being called to account for things I haven't done.

I want to help this place and go home. And you want to help these people. It's only right to join up with you, isn't it?

[ As far as attempts for unification go around here, this one has seemed the least crazy so far, or at least from a newcomer's perspective. After a bit of thought and hesitation, Asami relaxes and enters the feed. ]

Hi, I'm new here. I just want to say I like what you're trying to pull together, and you can definitely expect me at the defense meeting.
chittybang: (so i live or i die or i poop my pants.)

I could provide some if I knew what had already been scheduled for discussion. There's no point in repeating what you already have.

[Oh, this certainly got her attention, but maybe not in the way that was originally intended. To her, what started off as annoying only got increasingly more so by the end.

Enough, at least, to merit this dry response from her.]


We have a meeting, and then they'll listen?

[Sorry she's such a perma brat skeptic, Fiona. But, if you ask her, she's been in more than enough meetings to last a lifetime.]

I still don't see the point. [... Because she knows what it sounds like. Talking, talking, talking, and nothing but talking.]

Do you mean to say that the people who brought us here don't have some organisation already in place? Aren't we meant to be fighting a war for them?
futurarex: (89)

[personal profile] futurarex 2012-11-09 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He snorts.]

Yes, I think I've got it all right. You want to enforce organisation, order, and discipline, and I would think some sort of training regime. It's not exactly a difficult concept to grasp.

What I'm surprised at is that there's no such system already in place. How long have people been here at the whim of this Initiative?
