week ???, ???

[retellers]

[ sometimes you are having your very first group meeting in a pure white room at a long, also white, table.

tiger is leaning back against her seat, looking between them all. ]

Well, this is stupid.

[retellers]

[ this is fine.

fox, on the other hand, is sitting properly, though still just relaxed enough to look casual. ]

Haha, it can't be helped, can it? It is what it is.

[retellers]

[ swan is kicking her legs where she's sitting, thrumming with energy as she looks around at the other five. ] Sooo it's a little dramatic and complicated, but it's for a good cause, right? That can't be so bad.

[retellers]

[ goat is sitting like a good child, hands in lap, as he nods to what swan says. ]

Swan is right. It may be difficult, but we have to do our best for everyone's sakes...

[retellers]

[ i was going to continue to be lazy but then jan was good and linked the code. anyway. rabbit just nods nervously ]

Um, yes... so let's do our best! [ ... ] Although I'm not sure if they'll be happy about this...

[retellers]

[ cheerfully, ]

Oh, I doubt it. They'll probably be rather upset, actually.

[retellers]

Taken against their will to fight a battle they didn't sign up for? Don't see why anyone would be upset about that.

[ wolf could stand to sound a little less dry, maybe ]

[retellers]

[ she points at rabbit. ]

Bets on who they're going to try to attack first?

[ please don't point at someone while you say that, tiger. ]

[retellers]

[ fox holds up his hands. ]

Now, now, don't bully Rabbit-san.

[ noooo fighting ]

[retellers]

They're not going to attack anyone if we explain it all properly! And it's for the greater good, they'll get it!

[ her hopes and dreams. ]

[retellers]

[ even with the mask, it is obvious that she is completely horrified ]

E-eh... I'm not good with that kind of thing...

[ fighting. please don't fight her. ]

[retellers]

[ goat holds a hand out over the table, in a gesture of comfort. ]

Do not fear. We will ensure that no one is harmed, so it'll be all right.

[ except too bad he and swan aren't going to be the intro npcs and instead it's the two sol characters and wolf. rip. ]

[retellers]

[ GAGGING MOTIONS

that's it that's the tag ]

[retellers]

How about we actually talk about what we should do? [ wolf gestures around them before he crosses his arms ] Right now, it's a lot of hot air.

[retellers]

[ swan blows a raspberry to both tiger and wolf, who suck ]

[retellers]

[ fox just sighs. why are you all children. ] Right. At the very least, let's figure out what we're going to tell them and get an idea of what we'll do in the first week.

[retellers]

[ she just nods her head, very clearly just wanting to switch the subject to something less terrible. ] We should just tell them it's going to be a contest, right? Ah, but I wonder what's the best way to do it... should we just gather them all together right away?

[retellers]

Well they'll all come here together, won't they? So let's talk to them together.

[retellers]

[ fox hums thoughtfully. ] Will all of us be necessary? We don't want too many people speaking over each other. [ which he is absolutely sure will happen if all six of them are in the same area. ]

[retellers]

[ it doesn't seem like tiger is going to say anything at first, but then she sighs. ] No, we don't need six people to tell one story. Just one of us should be enough to do the job if it wasn't for the fact that there's a chance they might try to stab one of you. Better to have backup. [ yeah she just decided it's not going to be her without asking ]

[retellers]

[ wolf tilts his head a little, thinking ] So half of us. Even if no one attacks, they'll all have questions. Best to have enough people around to field all of those then let two people get overwhelmed.

[retellers]

Sounds reasonable. So, who wants to be the lucky three, then? [ who wants to deal with the mob. ] I don't mind being one. [ he is not about to point at a bunch of teenagers and be like, "you do the work instead." ]

[retellers]

[ there's a short moment of hesitation before she raises a hand. ] I don't mind doing it... [ well. it's less that she doesn't mind and more that swan looks like she might be the youngest from heights, and it doesn't seem like tiger wants to do it... ]

[retellers]

[ swan opens her mouth like she wants to volunteer, leaning in eagerly before she pauses in thought ] Wait, is this just for the initial meeting? Won't we have to have people around them all the time? We are supposed to lead them.
