EVENT 1 - A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING

[evercyclic]

Who; EVERYONE! What; The fearless leader of HQ has some information for a waiting crowd Where; Cafeteria When; August 2nd, 8:30pm - ?? Warnings; None as of yet, can be changed if content changes A text message will be sent to the phones of all new arrivals in HQ at 2am on the 2nd. The text message contains the following: "Greetings new arrivals! I'm certain all of you have dozens of questions and I'd very much like to answer them. If you would humor me, please meet me tomorrow evening at 9pm in the Cafeteria. It isn't the best location for a disclosure meeting, but I believe we all may fit. Until then, have a good evening." When everyone arrives to the cafeteria that night, they will find people who may or may not be familiar seated a table along the far wall near the bar. Luther, Nathan, Gus, and Airy are all present, as well as three faces they have yet to see. At the head of the table, an older man with a noble bearing and friendly smile watches as the new arrivals shuffle in. To his right is a striking woman who seems to be watching people arrive with an air of annoyance, and a younger man to his left who rarely looks up from the sketchbook in front of him.

[Grace's small hand rests in her fathers as she steps down from the table. She grins up at him, keeping her hand in his as they step forward.]

I think I can help there. What will you do papa?

[They can't very well sniff out mushrooms here...]

Papa! I forgot! I found mushrooms this morning.

[She's going to gloss over the crying part.]

[ He was glad she didn't pull her hand away because he really didn't want to let go. ]

You'll do great. [ He gave her hand a small squeeze. He was proud that Grace was so enthusiastic about helping people. ] I'm not sure about me yet. What do you think I should try? I thought about the library since that's a good place to figure things out but I'm not sure it would suit me.

[ Jefferson's eyebrows raised in surprise for just a moment what she told him. Quickly after he grinned with an enthusiasm he saved only for her, pulling her over in a brief side hug before letting her go again. ]

I would have expected no less with that nose you have. What sort did you find?

[ He knew it was probably a hard thing for her, but if she didn't want to delve into it he wouldn't make her. Honestly, Jefferson had spent many lonely days of his own thinking about hunting mushrooms near the woods near their home. It had been a difficult way of life but she'd always found new ways to make the task fun. Some of the best memories he had involved playing with her in that forest. ]

[Grace leans against his side as his arm wraps around her small shoulders. The smile stays on her lips though her eyes can’t hide the emotions that stir at the recollection of such memories. She keeps her gaze forward knowing that her father will be able to see her thoughts. She wants their time together to be happy. She doesn’t know how long it will last.]

Chanterelles [She replies in a soft voice, feeling the smile set across her lips.]

I don’t think you’ll like the library. [Her father has never been good at remaining in one place.] Do they have a job where you can deliver things? Then you’d be able to see what’s above us. [Grace is very interested in the city.]

When you aren’t working you can show me around.
