[A Town Meeting for how to handle the situation. No doubt people will come and speak up about things in turn. Despite the fact that I'm posting with Scorpius he's obviously not the one organizing it. There's an OOC Plotting Post here.

This post will have two subthreads mostly for quick and easy organizational purposes - one to put aside the proposing of ideas or questions, ICly (if you want to not write out the whole thing ICly you could just put up an OOC description of what they're doing. and then a second for mingling which isn't necessarily publicly proposing some big idea or question

As it's a mass log feel free to tag in whatever format you please]

[Leans in a little extra near him. She just knows he's going to play the hero despite all the others around, and it makes her extra nervous. For all of their equal bravado, the Malnosso really are a whole other level than everything they're used to fighting or dealing with. Mad scientists, yes. But with magic and superpowers that made Oz or all the others they've met before, even Pycal, seem like children at play.]

[redjacketthief]

[She knows him too well, although Lupin knows better than to speak of any of this in an open forum. With a somber smile he sneaks an arm around her waist, taking comfort in her presence. This was mad. He was mad. But...what other choices did they have?]

Fujiko... It's good to see you, babe. What do you make of all of this?

[doubleppk]

[Plays her fingers on his cheek.]

Well, I agree that giving him back is stupid. [So is defying them with such a marginal chance of survival. She sighs heavily though. Lupin was going to do something crazy and that really did scare her. Oh well, cocky face for now.] What about you? Decided what you're going to do yet?

[She knew he had some plan in mind, though whether he'd full formed it in his head or started putting pieces into play, that she couldn't tell. Yet.]

[redjacketthief]

I have.

[He pulls her closer, and presses a kiss against her hair. Of all of the people in Luceti, Fujiko was the one person he couldn't allow to see him nervous. The touch lingers for a moment, two, before he leans down to her ear.]

But not here. Tonight sounds like a good time for a trip to the beach, doesn't it? We can look at the moon and be in peace for a little while.

[Nods and takes hold of his hand, giving it a small squeeze.]

I'd tell you not to get hurt, but I have a feeling you won't have much choice in that.

[redjacketthief]

...I'll explain it at the beach.

[He squeezes back, a silent promise that he would be true to his word this time. For sure.]

[doubleppk]

[She just nods quietly, softly biting her bottom lip. It's a lot more truth than she wants to give away, part of her just wants to beat Lupin up and tie him down so he can't do whatever crazy thing he's planning... but she already knows he'd escape and do it with even more abandon then. Stupid thieves. Stupid gentlemen who insist on following their stupid hearts and stupid pride and not realizing they're in danger. And stupid her for even letting herself care.]

[redjacketthief]

Thanks for understanding, babe.

[Interactions like these were how he knew that he could rely on her when the tables flipped and bullets started flying. Though her concern was obvious, she was smart and strong--one of the best people to have in the foxhole next to him, at the end of the day.

He resisted the urge to kiss her worried lips, knowing full well that it wouldn't help any right now.]

I'll see you tonight then. Bring a blanket; I'll bring the Sauternes.

[Yes. It was a date.]
