MINGLE: SHEHUI

[lohengrins]

Who: Percival, you and more!
Where: The recreational floor of Shehui's apartment complex
When: Day 145
Open/Closed: Open to any character who's decided to entertain the invitation below!

[ As an esteemed member of the coven, it's likely that you (and your roommates) have received a telepathic message; it seems to be text that grazes across the landscape of your mind.

Perhaps you've decided to pay it no mind. But should you choose to read it, you'll be greeted with relatively fine penmanship, befitting of a noble.

Coven members.

12 PM.

Recreational floor.

This city is strange; we should discuss it.

Signed,
Percival

Percival has somehow managed to...keep out any other residents of the complex for this particular hour. The seats and tables have been arranged to form a setup akin to that of a town hall's, and various books regarding the scarce history of the city, alongside what would be considered available information pertaining to its public figures are splayed across the table. He sits, simply waiting for a moment. ]

First and foremost, I suggest that you watch what you say in here. It's likely that they can hear you — and I can't guarantee that they won't punish you for what you say. Not with what little I know of this city.

Naturally, I've gathered the lot of you here today with a purpose in mind. [ His fingers drum against a book. ] I've been researching...learning what I can about the land. The natives of this city don't appear to be fond of magic; I was met with a strange response the one instance I'd mentioned it. They expect us to stay, which won't bode well for us in due time.

...But it's the ban that's piqued my interest. I've been unable to find any information regarding as to what happens to those who have been banished...be it for their inability to pay for their residency or something else. It's not as though I'd know — it hasn't been listed to start with.

...I don't trust it. Or rather, I don't trust them: those who oversee this city. 

[ ooc: hi! basically, this is just a mingle dedicated to getting a grip on what ideas other characters have, and an attempt at developing this potential player post. i need some questions and ideas to run by the mods, but i'll need a foundation first! please don't feel like your character has to respond to percival, this is just a post for characters to talk about this and air out their thoughts, be it with each other or him! ]

This government tries hard to maintain an appearance free of err. They've actively withheld information from the public — knowledge is the crux of rebellion. There's a chance they know there's bound to be some backlash to whatever their history is comprised of.

[ percival's...eyes widen upon hearing jumin's suggestion. ]

...Don't be stupid. Try it and we won't hear from you again. Whatever you plan on doing, I'll have my part in it.

[yancat]

[ He chuckles. ]

Well, it's a good thing I don't have a particularly vast skillset, then.

But they're storing this knowledge somewhere. If we can find where it is, Mr. Hood can steal it without fail.

[guerrilla]

Uh, picking pockets and stealing information are totally different things, you know.

[But he'll still do his best.]

...I do have a little experience with that kind of thing, though, so I'm probably as good a bet as any.

[He was inside the computer from which he smuggled data last time he did it, but he's not about to sound like a crazy person when they're hatching a plan.]

[yancat]

[ Still stealing! Which is still wrong, and he still wishes they had someone like Seven on board but they don't have much of a choice. Shehui isn't Seoul; many factors remain beyond his control. ]

But there's no way we can assure your safety—especially if you go alone. [ And he doesn't want to upset Hakuno. ] If we're to recover confidential information from the government, I'd like to do it with minimal casualties.

Percival, ideas.

[ It's an order. ]

[guerrilla]

No offense, but going alone is always less risky than going with someone else. Less people means fewer chances to screw up...and it means if one person goes down, the others aren't caught in the crossfire.

[Robin doesn't want to upset Hakuno, either, but he also knows she'd just be more upset the more people were involved, should things go south.]

If you've got ideas, I'll hear 'em out, but I'm more or less used to going solo.

[yancat]

... If you're willing to martyr yourself for this one mission, [ this ONE DAMN MISSION ] then I suppose I'll have to speak with Hakuno.

[ why does he have to go and be a big damn hero... THIS ISN'T NECESSARY ]

But we need to lower the risks somehow.

Get a haircut.

[guerrilla]

What? No. Don't tell her anything.

[HE'S NOT BEING A HERO? HE'S JUST BEING A DISGUSTING PRAGMATIST]

[yancat]

... Hakuno doesn't know you're here.

[Jumin pinches the bridge of his nose. He feels a headache coming on...]

[guerrilla]

And it's better if she doesn't. It's not exactly a secret that we're together a lot, so the less she knows the better if something does end up happening.

[This is why having friends and liking people is bad. Pay attention, Jumin!!!]

[yancat]

[On one hand, he doesn't want to be held responsible for whatever stupid shenanigans Robin gets up to. On the other hand, looking for contraband is important and if Robin gets hurt, it's his own damn fault. ON THE THIRD HAND, HE'S SURE MANY PEOPLE WOULD OBJECT TO THIS, HIMSELF INCLUDED.

The headache is happening! Right now!!]

...

[He mentally drags his hand down his face.]

Either way, you need a haircut.

[lohengrins]

Are you two done yet?

[guerrilla]

Yeah, Jumin's done alright.

[He may or may not be planning on poisoning Jumin's food.]

[yancat]

I'm done when I say I'm done. [FOOL!!!]

We need someone on the inside. Frankly, Mr. Hood doesn't look the part.

[Unkempt hair, obscenely low collar, tights... And what the fuck is that necklace? Get out.]
