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.

[Elena believes in her own experiences and what she's seen. She isn't the sort of person who could blind herself though she worked very hard to fun from the truth. She lives between extremes but she recognizes that they both exist.

All that's in Stonehaven is blood and death. In Toronto she had a life but this place... it's something unknown and she's keeping her thoughts open to what it could be.]

It sounds like an interesting place.

[She has no doubt of its validity. It would be silly to make things like that up and as a child Elena learned what it felt like for someone not to belief her.]

Maine isn't a bad place either but it won't change the truth.

[ When he looked up at the sound of her voice he actually seemed a little bewildered. Sure, they were both stuck in a place that was unexplainable, but... ]

So you don't think I'm making it up? That I'm delusional?

[ It was hard to comprehend that. The one person he'd needed to believe him to make things work hadn't, but this woman did? Jefferson was having difficulty accepting that reality, and it probably showed on his face. ]

I was actually in Maine for a while. [ A really long while, but he didn't want his kid to overhear anything he wasn't prepared to tell her yet. ] I didn't like it very much.

[Elena shakes her head.]

I'm sorry. I don't- [She exhales a slow breath, her lips pressing into an apologetic smile.] I do believe you. Even before I came here I've seen... [She exhales and shakes her head.] I've seen more than I think I can explain.

If the truth is right in front of me... I don't want to run from it. [She knows what she is but she doesn't like it. She accepts it but only on the surface as a curse. Elena will do everything she could to be human, to act human.] But that doesn't mean I have to like the truth.

[She stops herself and changes the subject to Maine. She isn't interested in talking about herself and she almost let something personal slip from her lips.]

I've been to Maine. Once before, I was just passing through really but I don't think it's the sort of place I could live. I'm sorry you didn't like it.
