anarqrists not-so-anonymous: redux

[rebells]

Who: Salty Anarqrists Club (Jay's invites + anyone those people decide to invite)
Where: DRAGON HOUSING (on the first floor of the coven's apartment complex in Shehui)
When: Day 148, evening
Open/Closed: ICly closed! potential gatecrashers should PM rebells.

[The process will be familiar to some of you and new to others: some time over the past week, Jay or someone else would have quietly approached you in person and let you know about a meeting that was taking place tonight, hopefully away from the watchful gaze of Brie, Genette, and Qri.

Jay will greet you by the door. It might be a tight fit in the Geir-and-Vern apartment (if indeed it can be considered an apartment), depending on how many people show up. Take a seat on the ground next to the dragon--or on the dragon, if he'll let you--and wait for the meeting to come to order.]

INTRODUCTIONS / MINGLE

[rebells]

[rootandbranch]

[the whole first floor lobby of the residential building where the coven is staying was earmarked for Geir to stay, and had its walls, dividers, and furniture removed so he could actually fit inside. even with those accomodations, it's a tightish fit -- snug, though not unbearably so.

Geir has pushed his coils out to the edges to leave the space in the center of the room open for discussion, curling around the space, on the logic that this will make it easier for people to hear each other; however, that does mean that everyone's more or less standing within the half-circle of his body. there isn't much seating to be had except on his tail or against his side, but there are a couple of people (most notably Vern, who's leaned up next to his face at some point) already using him as a chair or backrest. they aren't getting eaten.

more succinctly:

there is a DRAGON here. people are sitting on him. he appears to have NO PROBLEM WITH THIS.]

Tell me if anyone needs me to move anywhere...

[rebells]

[Jay is leaning against the wall next to the door to the building, idly leafing through his notebook. He'll look up as people come in.]

I'm glad you could make it.

[dawninglight]

[technically a new face to these gatherings, Yona has settled for taking a seat close to Geir's face and fairly out of the way; she isn't trying to hide that she's people-watching, and if you catch her eye she'll wave hello.]

[alienates]

[ that loud short gray guy is just hanging around, seemingly glaring?? at everyone??? this is just his normal expression. ]

[oneandmikleonly]

[he gets a tiny wave from Mikleo]

I'm glad you came.

[alienates]

I'm mostly glad that you people actually do get off your asses and do stuff. I was worried it was all talk.

[oneandmikleonly]

[dryly]

You can help motivate people.

[alienates]

[ also dryly, yet with feeling, with kind of defeats the purpose of dryly ]

I already do that every single day of my life, Mikleo.

[oneandmikleonly]

Does it work? In my admittedly limited experience, this sort of thing is rather like herding cats.

[rebells]

[This busybody smiles sunnily at him.]

Oh, hello.

[alienates]

[ why is this tiny purple child smiling at him ]

Uh. Hey.

[rebells]

[smiiiiile]

I'm glad to see you here. I don't think we've met. I'm Jay.

[alienates]

Oh, I heard of you. You're the busybody who doesn't know how to mind his own business.

[ that's... not exactly how homura phrased it, but it's close enough, he thinks. ]

[rebells]

[He laughs.]

That's probably me, yes. Who told you that?

[rootandbranch]

[Geir puts his nose close to Karkat, not hard to do in these close quarters, to take a better look at him. that skin and those horns are really quite familiar now that he's talked to Terezi.]

Oh, you're another one of the grey ones--!

[alienates]

Annnd you're a dragon. Holy shit, Terezi must have wet herself when she smelled you.

[ saw. not smelled. he's still not used to that. ]

[rootandbranch]

[Geir narrows his eyes and thought and then shakes his head slightly. he's still looking Karkat over with unabashed curiosity.]

I don't think so. I'd probably have noticed. I am a dragon, though! Hello.

You ended up here fast! It hasn't been that long since you got here to talk to people about Qri, right?

[alienates]

Apparently all you need to do to get an invite is be skeptical about the head witch in charge, which I was doing about ten seconds after landing here? If it takes other people longer to be brought here then I have concerns.

[rootandbranch]

I think most people are skeptical, but some are more willing to go along than others! I'm not sure I'm not willing to go along, actually. There seem like reasons why it would be a good idea.

[and more of them appear the more he finds out that people were dead or in horrible situations before coming here...]

[imsorey]

[there is an obnoxiously pleasant person waving hello to him!!!! this is a new face but he can recognize the trolls by now]

[alienates]

[ he kind of just

looks behind him

who is this guy waving at?? ]

[imsorey]

[he's waving at you silly]

You're new, right? I haven't seen your face around before.

[alienates]

[ why is everyone greeting him, what the fuck. ]

No, I've been here the entire time. I can't believe you've never noticed me before.

[imsorey]

[he gives Karkat a slightly suspicious look before deciding he's probably joking]

You stand out way too much to make me fall for that.
