Rating:
With the help of some friends and friends of friends, the school cafeteria has been transformed into a meeting space. Rows of chairs and a few benches fill the space, providing adequate seating for whoever wishes to come to the meeting.

Along the back are some tables set with cookies, pastries, and tea, juice, and coffee for people to munch and sip on, before, during, and after the meeting

By the entrance is another table. On it sits a locked box with a slit on top, small sheets of blank paper, and a few pencils and pens. This is the message box, for anyone who wishes to express an idea or thought in an anonymous manner. The box will later be opened and all the messages inside will be read out loud by Ginia.

At the front sits a platform - one of the ones built for A Midsummer Night's Dream - with a table and chair resting on top. It's where Ginia will sit during the meeting, the extra height for the purpose of being able to see anyone who may be seated in the back row.

[You know what's relieving? Being done is relieving. Once the meeting is over, Ginia takes a few minutes to gather up all her notes and return them to her bag before she begins to socialize. Thanking everyone for coming, following up on a few ideas, grabbing a cookie and enjoying it in peace as she peruses her notes. Feel free to catch her at any point.]

pssst--! 'Nia. Ginia. Oi.

[Lupin draws near her on quiet feet, picking his way through the crowd with an easy grace. He's sober now and, though he still had a dull headache, his thoughts were clear. The coke he kept on hand ensured that his thinking would stay straight, but also act as a cover--he realized he was acting like he was on one of his jobs again, deflecting attention from one thing to another. With what he wantd to tell her though, any front was helpful.

He did tell Tanaka he'd be discreet, after all.

He lightly touches her arm to further grab her attention. Drawing near, he speaks sotto voce over her shoulder.]

You were looking for an independent, unmonitored alarm system? [He's smiling.] I think I might know of something that would help you.

[Ginia is just wrapping up a conversation when Lupin comes by. She takes a small sip of her drink as she listens to him, then turns toward him and offers his hand.]

So good to see you, Lupin. Come, walk with me.

[Without waiting for him to follow, she'll set out toward a table, one further to the back. She smiles and laughs as she walks, thanking people for coming, holding short conversations all the way over there. Once she reaches the table, she takes a chair on the far side and smiles back at him.]

I'm listening.

[He takes a seat across from her and, saying nothing, places his cellphone on the table. The clamshell is open, and the strange text message conversation he had with an almost anonymous stranger around Christmas cued up... It happend just before Fujiko disappeared, he realized not a little bitterly. He pushes it toward her.]

Read through that, and tell me what you think.

[Ginia looks over the conversation, brow knitting in thought. That does explain the strange message she'd seen on her phone, much after the fact. She hadn't replied, because despite curiosity, training taught her to never reply to strange messages, especially when they came to a phone with a number known by few.]

Very interesting. I'm curious how many people around have cellphones and the number of people this reached.

Me too. Whatever the device, I've discovered it needs to be Bluetooth-enabled, so it can't be one of those old school bricks. [He shrugged, and pocketed the cell. He usually had the same reservations, but the relative isolation of Luceti left him liable to jump at anything that struck him as useful, despite the potential danger. The Dollars, whomever and whatever they were, could be very useful in the right circumstances.]

...It shouldn't be too hard to figure out how Tanaka did this, especially since messaging like this is all the rage in Europe. How else do you think those flash mobs form at a second's notice?

It would certainly be useful, though unless everyone has a cellphone, there's still a good portion relying on word-of-mouth. Fine if there's enough time to plan, but not during an emergency.

However, props to the person who figured it out. This could definitely be something.

Tanaka did ask the people who got the message to spread the word. It seems like his intent is to actually include people who don't have a cellphone, but who knows? He's going under an obvious alias, and doesn't give many details.

I thought it might be helpful to you is all. Maybe you can use it in conjunction with something else? Just a thought.

Something to keep an eye out for. [She smiles and nods at Lupin.] Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to give it more thought.

[Zenigata meanders up at some point, sipping on coffee and nibbling a few cookies]

Hey Ginia. This was a pretty good idea, you know? Feel like we got a lotta good stuff talked about.

[Ginia smiles over at Zenigata and offers a nod of her head.]

I'm really happy there was a good turn-out. Now it's a matter of moving ahead and turning some of this plans into action.
