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.

M--Mister Kennedy.

[It's barely said. He's still wary of the Navy figures in this town. Too much possibility of being considered a deserter, but. Jilly has spoken of the man. And well.]

I-- Excuse me, Mister Kennedy.

[simplestgift]

[Archie isn't even wearing his uniform. He's tucked his notes under one arm and turns at Hollom's voice.]

Mr. Hollom?

[awhitecrow]

I-- I have some knowledge of sailing, Mister Kennedy. [Not a damning admission, really.] I... would be of little use in general, I fear, but... I am able to cook.

If your Britannia must go to sea and... you have no one else to feed your crew... I would be willing to help in that regard.

[Nervous, almost skittish.]

[simplestgift]

Of course! [Trying to stay professional but not cold.] Thank you, Mr. Hollom.

[awhitecrow]

Thank you. I-- would like to help. If I'm needed.

[If it comes, he'll mention the risk. Taking a Jonah on board. But... better to at least offer than leave them with no one to feed their crew.]

[simplestgift]

I'll come to you if we don't have other volunteers. Otherwise, if you have even a little sailing experience...

[awhitecrow]

[Fifteen years experience in the British Navy... that will go completely unmentioned.]

I... am willing, Mister Kennedy. If you have need of me. If... it becomes necessary.

[Willing but not enthusiastic.]

[simplestgift]

[Archie's starting to understand. This man has a similar aversion to sailing as Kennedy has to being a Navy man again. After a moment, he nods.]

Only if it becomes necessary.

[awhitecrow]

Y-yes, Mister Kennedy. Thank you.

[He actually manages a small smile and nods once to turn to go-- but not before giving a small, brief salute. A crook'd finger to the brow.]

[simplestgift]

[Archie's eyes widen, and he suddenly understands a piece of the puzzle.

What did the Navy do to this man?]
