An Evening Gathering
WHO: Anyone welcome to wander around Castle Thorne!
WHAT: A little roundtable-townhall-mingle, a space to share information and discuss the Situation
WHEN: post-Horizon, after the new arrivals turn up so they can join in
WHERE: Castle Thorne's Dining Hall
NOTES: A little like a group therapy session but not, all characters will be invited to share anything they would like about their experiences and ask each other questions. Afterwards the group are free to mingle and discuss freely (just reply to the post itself). Let's bond, learn, complain about our new body parts and swap the hot goss!
The invitation spreads easily enough among the Welcomed (and those of the formerly imprisoned who have since earned a pardon), thanks to the cheerful efforts of everyone's favourite bard and the ever-grinding rumour mill: tonight, anyone interested in participating is invited to remain in the dining hall after the evening meal to discuss recent events. Depending on how far along the game of telephone the invitation is by the time it reaches any one person, further details may be difficult to pin down. It is clear at least that this meeting isn't being organised by Ambrose or anyone else from Thorne, though there's no effort to keep it secret from the inhabitants of the castle either. A call to arms this is not. This is not the venue for plotting against the establishment— seditionist talk is best left to the privacy of the Horizon.
Anyone choosing to attend will find the evening meal proceeds as it usually does. As the plates are cleared, though, the table becomes the setting for something of an informal discovery session, a meeting of minds. Everyone here is welcome to take a turn to speak if they would like, and to ask any questions they hope someone else may be able to answer. As the imprisoned are unable to attend, a recording is being made. However, going on the record is optional. Anyone who would rather keep their thoughts transient and non-incriminating is welcome to speak up without fear of being caught on tape.
The meeting breaks up once everyone has had a chance to speak, leaving plenty of opportunity for less structured discussion. Hopefully everyone can go to bed tonight feeling a little more informed and a little less alone...

[ it sounds absolutely ridiculous as he says it, sam gets that, but he has to know before they get too far down this road, anyway. ]
It's a shield. About- [ he gestures the approximate size. ] It's made of a specific type of metal which is why I was asking, but it basically absorbs kinetic energy, totally bullet and force proof. It- yeah. [ he exhales, again, because he's still sounding kind of insane. ] Would be awesome to have, if your powers worked like that. Which- [ as the thought comes to him. ] What do you want for it? I don't- [ a sigh. ] I don't actually have money, but depending on what you want, I can do my best.
no subject
What do you get the man who has everything?
[ Certainly nothing as simple as money. ]
Seriously, don't worry about it. It doesn't cost me anything to make it. Bulletproof shield yea big that absorbs kinetic energy? Easy. Do you want it to look any specific way or should I make it match the local decor?
no subject
[ the look of amusement gives sam the freedom to relax, if only slightly. ]
Can't promise you'll need the help, but it's about all I can offer.
[ sam's eyes widen for a fraction of a moment when ronan agrees, if only because he hadn't been expecting the ease of it. hadn't actually allowed himself the chance to think it possible. but ronan says easy and sam's chest tightens with something like anticipation. ]
Oh, uh- [ he thinks about the shield, about the stars and stripes. it means so little here that sam honestly stutters over the chance for it to look different, blinking once before the feeling passes. ] Back home, it kind of had a red, white, and blue sort of thing going with it. But if I'm being honest, I don't really care what it looks like if it works. Not local decor, but beyond that? [ sam shrugs. without an america it seems silly to try and carry around so specific. and after everything that's gone down...we're talking dream magic here. why not have a little fun? ] What about something to do with wings, or like, birds? At one point I was called Falcon, and I like birds. But yeah- I'm not super picky. Have fun with it.
no subject
Falcon. I like that. Alright, it's a deal. One kickass indestructible bird shield in exchange for a favor sometime. Sure.
no subject
but sam can roll with it. chooses to roll with it. ]
Nice. I like the sound of that. And thanks, man. [ sam holds out a hand for ronan to shake. just to make the whole thing official, right? ]
no subject
I'll get it to you tomorrow.
no subject
it'll be nice to have a shield on him. ]
Sounds great. I'm in Room 3.
