SHELL meeting. Noon. Pack a picnic lunch and follow the river south until you see the blankets.



Action

[About fifteen minutes’ walk beyond the last houses of Luceti, Don has laid out a sprawling patchwork of picnic blankets. He’s also brought enough drinks for everyone, and some outdoor toys, like a frisbee and a soccer ball. Science is fun by itself, but there’s no reason to talk about it in a stuffy room when they could be out enjoying the mild weather at the same time.]

[The main agenda for today is the recent experiment, but other topics are welcome as well.]


((Feel free to start subthreads for your character’s world-visit/AU, so we can discuss them all. Threads for general picnic fun are fine too!))

Current one needs a few for a cargo run to a few enclosures. I've been wondering about signing up.

It's not just that, to be honest with you... I need the activity. I need times like these.

[As much as she hates the thought of helping the Malnosso.]

[geniustheveil]

I think I understand. There are times I need something to keep my mind from things, too.

[daisy023]

I just like keeping myself busy. Keeping my mind and body occupied... Even if it's from those missions or the drafts.

[Lying. ESPECIALLY if it's those things.]

... Sometimes even the adrenaline helps.

[Daisy picks some of the meals she carried. She reveals a few sandwiches, laid for Ami to pick if she desires... though the big girl is a bit faster in eating them.]

[geniustheveil]

[The sandwiches make Ami eager - they've always been a favorite - and, almost shyly, she reveals the contents of her own lunch, where she's packed a bit of extra dessert to share.]

Please; go ahead.

About the drafts... another of my friends has arrived here. I wonder if the Malnosso will take her some day.

[daisy023]

[What have you done it's a giant girl that loves sweets... But looks at Ami. She lowers her eyes.]

Even if she can fight... I hope she's not.

[For her safety. At the very least, she knows about having non-combatant loved ones be drafted while in here.]

[geniustheveil]

She has spiritual powers. They're very strong. [Ami opts for sharing this, Rei as the miko, rather than explaining Rei is another senshi, for now. It's still a secret - somewhat. Ami nudges one of the dessert servings closer to Daisy.]

[daisy023]

[She picks a few to eat. It's the sweet things that catch her attention the most.]

I think I understand.

[A soldier like Ami.]

It's strange. Even if you want your friends to be safe... I think it's the harder for some people to not go into battle when theirs are.

[geniustheveil]

I want my friends to be safe. That's why I fight: so they don't have to take all the burden.

[daisy023]

Sometimes they want to do the same for you. Even if you'd want to take it.

[A conundrum.]

[geniustheveil]

I know. But the truth is, I want to do more.
