GREETINGS ETC

[youpoorthing]

[This is the place for greetings/self introductions/getting settled in/smalltalk/whatever.]

[searingedgelord]

[has brought a plate of steamed curry buns to add to the refreshments. She is maybe not the friendliest person and is kind of crap at politics. But food she can do.]

Re: GREETINGS ETC

[maleficafe]

Those look good... did you make them yourself?

[foolishjourney]

...Hi.

[gently slides over...]

I don't think we've met, have we? I'm Lily.

Re: GREETINGS ETC

[worthathousand]

Welcome. [ a smile, and inclining her head politely ]

I don't think we've spoken before, but— ah, the buns look delicious.

[youpoorthing]

...Thanks...

[politics and being friendly are both Hard, okay.]

[theyregooddogs]

Hey.

[letgrow]

[Clearing a spot on a table for her to set them down]

Re: GREETINGS ETC

[phoni]

[ spicy food...!! ]

Re: GREETINGS ETC

[maleficafe]

[there is coffee here now. lav has a big thermos available for anyone who wants it, along with tiny packets of sugar and some containers of creamer]

[foolishjourney]

I can't decide if I want tea or coffee...

Re: GREETINGS ETC

[theyregooddogs]

[huff, going to do this, going to need coffee]

Thanks.

[criminaljustice]

[... meanwhile. Joker bringing a bottle of alcohol--went with a bubbly wine, so.

uh.

this is how you do meet ups for possibly alliances, right?]

[maleficafe]

[ah, delinquency]

Wow. Thank you.

[foolishjourney]

Thanks for coming.

[ Tatsuya is polite enough to take his shoes off at the entrance before he walks in properly, looking around the dorm-- he doesn't visit other units' places very often so it's interesting to him.

He takes up a lot of room just by nature of being a tall guy, but he's also pretty quiet-- he'll wave and smile if someone looks at him, but he's not going over to anyone to strike up a conversation. ]

meet & greet: Amaranth

[worthathousand]

[ Amaranth's entire knowledge of BAD END comes from her acquaintance with Thorn and one (1) interaction with Joker, so she has some catching up to do.

So she's tried to present as polished without being fussy, and is stationing herself by the teapot. ]

[youpoorthing]

[Add another to the "bad at this" pile. Making friends and discussing complicated things is Hard. At least Hellebore is here at all instead of skipping out (or forgetting this meeting entirely), even if he's just taking up room.]

Re: GREETINGS ETC

[theyregooddogs]

[leaning against some wall, out of the way and taking in the sight]

Re: GREETINGS ETC

[justfuckingtryit]

[Showing up with a plate of lemon cookies and a bottle of bourbon. Who knows what you bring to an alliance talk? One of those is probably appropriate.]

[He sticks them on the picnic table and glances around at the decor, curious.]

...nice place.

Re: GREETINGS ETC

[phoni]

[ Gladiolus had been testing her new koto, but quickly sets it safely to the side when BE=DE arrives, shoving her finger picks in her pocket. ]

Senpai

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ Since the others brought food and drinks--Senpai's brought plates and cups. You know, so you don't have to drink after each other out of the bottles or scatter crumbs everywhere.

He then stations himself at a back corners of the room, attempting to take up as little space or attention as possible.

.... Like apparently most of his unit is doing. They're. They're real good at this,,, ]

[deathboss]

[He's still not sure how he feels about everything. About this team-up and about this meeting. There's thoughts swirling in his head so much that you'll need to poke him to start a conversation.]

MAIN DISCUSSION

[youpoorthing]

[This is were the actual Serious Business goes.]

MAIN DISCUSSION: LiliS proposal

[worthathousand]

[ Once everyone has had time to get to know each other and settle in, Amaranth speaks up over the sound of conversation. ]

Alright, let's all come around the main table, and we can begin seriously considering what each of us needs.

[ She'll give everyone time to find a spot at the table (or at least to find room to stand nearby...) before going on. ]

As LiliS, our primary desire to no longer be so vulnerable in killing games. We also know that we are not the only unit that has felt forgotten this way--this is something we share with you in BAD END.

We would like an agreement where our teams avoid targeting one another whenever possible, and to prioritize one another's protection when the game calls for it. Talon's protection plan seems like it would reinforce that for us.

Are there other elements that any of us would want to see included? And would we want an agreement between our units to be decided only among ourselves, or would formalizing it with help from a member of Taisho be worth our consideration?
