[It's that time again. People are gathering in the Peace Patrol headquarters, around the tables and shiny computers and of course the well-stocked coffee machine. Come on in, take a seat - there's a lot to discuss this month.]

((ooc: Tag in as the categories go up! Also, I am going to be slow at tagging while I fight this cold, but I will get to everything, I promise!))

[Mingle!]

[It feels so good coming back to work after a week of vacation. Alleyne is nice and healed up; only some surface scars where she was attacked remain. She's totally going for that free coffee and gives everyone who walks in a nod.]

[Is chilling out, feet up on a table. He has a notebook next to his feet with information about Code Blair and a list of any volunteers. He smiles cheerfully at anyone who comes by]

[Ray's there early for once, in jeans and a worn-looking t-shirt with the Ghostbuster logo on it. he's got a cigarette tucked behind his ear like a pencil, and he's kicked back in one of the chairs ...

... napping.

after all, he was here from last night until far, far too early this morning, working on the containment unit (http://paradisa.livejournal.com/13417661.html?thread=811684285#t811684285).]

[ FYI JR. AND ALLEN ARE NOT AT THIS MEETING IN PERSON. but if people have their journals open, they can let you know why and what's going on ;o; ]

Riful

[cloakand_danger]

Thank you all for coming today. It's been an interesting month, and we have a lot of ground to cover, so let's get started.

The first and most immediate threat I'd like to discuss is, of course, Riful. We're beyond the point where we can ignore her just because she's powerful enough to defend her own territory: she and her allies are a threat not just to the town, but also to the residents, and especially now that she seems to have a way of killing anyone permanently.

We need a way to stop her, and more than likely to contain her. I personally am not above killing her permanently if we can manage it, although I know there are those here who would have objections to that.

She also has allies who are equally dangerous. We need to know with certainty who they are and what - if anything - can be done to separate them from each other.

And if she attacks before we have a chance to target her directly, we need to be able to defend the castle and the town. We've previously drawn out evacuation routes, but I don't want abandoning the castle to be our first resort.

[For now Allen is simply listening. He already said all his pieces about this last week. He wants to hear what others have to say]

First-gens

[cloakand_danger]

The next subject is the occupants of the Dead Zone. You've probably heard by now that they seem willing to meet with us - as long as we bring them a gesture of goodwill. I probably don't need to emphasize how likely this is to be a trap, but it might also be an opportunity to get to know our enemy better. Right now, our information on them is desperately lacking, and as long as that's the case, they hold all the cards.

They may have a source of information inside the castle. It's entirely possible that this is from reading the journals, and I'd like to take this chance to remind you all to filter anything that might possibly become sensitive away from them, but we need to consider the idea that there might be a spy among us, as well. Lois has suggested spreading some misinformation to see if they pick up on it.

Either way, they haven't shown any hesitation in attacking us with intent to kill in the past - and in the Dead Zone, no less - and the recent vandalism clearly shows their disrespect toward the inhabitants of the castle. Maybe they believe themselves justified, for whatever reason, but we should certainly require some proof of change in their attitudes if we do make plans to meet with them.

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

Personally, I take anything they offer with the proverbial grain of salt. Need I remind anyone about the web they spun about that entire spider incident? It answered nothing, only left us with more questions.

I'm all for trying to contact them, I'd just like to impress upon anyone not to trust them entirely. We still don't know the full extent of what they're capable of.

Leroy

[cloakand_danger]

A resident named Leroy Schwartz was captured after killing some townsfolk that attacked him. He's currently in Patrol custody, but keeping him imprisoned indefinitely isn't what I'd call a solution.

I'll freely admit, I have no experience with criminal justice. Fair trials aren't something that happen much in my world, so I'll defer to those who might know more about the subject: what do you think we should do with him now that we have him?

[FOLDS ARMS ACROSS CHEST AND LOOKS AROUND THE ROOM ... like "YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING??? BRING IT."



yeah can you tell she's annoyed about this wlekrjwlker]

Two-Face

[cloakand_danger]

Do we have any new information on the whereabouts of Two-Face? I encountered him myself during our escape from the naval prison, but wasn't in any state to apprehend him even had I realized at the time who he must be. Information from the past two weeks or so would be the most relevant.

God

[cloakand_danger]

Among the newer of the castle residents is a being who claims he is the Christian God, and those who should know seem to agree with him. I'm not from Earth, but I've done some study on its religions, and while he seems personable enough now, historically he's been something of a menace, according to his own holy book. I think he's worth noting as a potential threat, so if you encounter a dark-skinned man dressed all in white...be aware of the potential consequences of upsetting him.

[He would advise you all not to antagonize God, but since Yuan doesn't intend to follow that advice, it would be rather hypocritical.]

Dictated;

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Let's hope one of you have a journal open so Allen can dictate over it. Sure he has plenty of choice words about God but still...]

...A menace? [REALLY YUAN? REALLY?]

Kidnapping?

[cloakand_danger]

Colette Brunel, a fellow member of the Peace Patrol, has been reported missing since yesterday morning. If anyone knows where she might be, or about any other recent disappearances, please speak up.

[ HOPEFULLY SOMEONE HAS THEIR JOURNAL OPEN SO JR. AND ALLEN CAN TALK? YES. ]

She's not missing! She's with me and Allen. A bunch of us have been stuck in a room for days.

Other concerns

[cloakand_danger]

Does anyone have other concerns or issues they'd like to bring up? Speak up now, or bring them to me later - I'm setting up an office for myself here in headquarters rather than bring sensitive information up to my room.

Code Blair

[hulloeverything.livejournal.com]

I've sent out a request (http://paradisa.livejournal.com/13418985.html) for volunteers for Code Blair. Is there anyone here who didn't reply who would be interested in assisting?

After-meeting

[cloakand_danger]

[Mingle more! Or whatever else.]

Yuan's Office

[cloakand_danger]

[It's not really much different from anywhere else in headquarters just yet, but it does have a desk and a couple of chairs in it. Presumably it'll eventually be furnished less sparsely. Yuan's sitting at the desk, doing something on the computer, so come bother him if you want!]
