barriers and raids and evil mermaids, oh my

[rebells]

Who: Dirk and Jay and you!
Where: In front of the coven's current abode.
When: Day 28 (8/4), around mid-day
Open/Closed: ota!

[It starts with a telepathic message over video, Jay using the mirror shard gifted by Genette to broadcast this message to the rest of the coven:]

It's come to our attention that some of you are going to want to help the Palai with their raid problem, so we thought--if we're going to be involved in this anyway, we might as well do it right. How about a meeting in front of our temporary home at noon? We'll discuss our strategy and assign roles. I'll broadcast it via this link, as well, for anyone who can't make it back in time. We welcome input from anyone who has a brain in their heads.

[If you come to the front of the house at the appointed time, you will indeed find Jay and Dirk standing together discussing--something, and perhaps a small crowd beginning to gather. This meeting will also be broadcast over the signets for anyone who wants to listen in there.]


((Comment away! Feel free to threadhop and such, as this is supposed to be an open meeting. OOC plotting post will go up soon.))

[it makes sense. Madoka nods — a response in favor of all of his suggestions — but another concern of hers that goes unsaid is maybe still visible in the way she frowns.]

[if this whole ordeal was as dangerous as the Palai describe, there's ... no way for her to save everyone, is there? the idea that someone's life would be more important than another's — that, if they were lying side-by-side, one person would deserve healing more than the other — is inconceivable.]

[maybe it's a worse-case scenario. but she can't stop thinking about it.]

So ... I should try to make it my goal not to use it until the end of the raid? Unless I absolutely have to.

If you're okay with that.

[He can see the concern, and of course there is that issue. There's no clear answer for it. How do you choose which person to heal? It's a question that has made medicine hellish in every situation where there aren't the resources to save everyone.]

We should check for anyone who can heal things partially to back you up.

[If they can get things half-way, enough for it to finish the job—maybe that would spare her the decision.

Even then, there isn't a way to save everyone. There is no guarantee.]

[soulcomet]

[ultimately, she has no choice but to cross that bridge if she gets to it. but it's something that'll haunt her, should she ever.]

[still, Madoka is satisfied with Dirk's answer, and that small smile she had when she first spoke up has returned. she'll figure it out. she has faith in that, at least.]

I can do that.

[It's a smile he can't deny.]

Thanks, Madoka.
