I'm going to assume that a day is enough for us to recover well enough over everything, so there are a few things I want to address now that the app has been secured again.

First of all, since it's troublesome only speaking on the app and we never know when it might be compromised again, I made a code for us to use in reference to each other. It's not completely finished but it should give you an idea of what I'm going for. I'm open to any other suggestions on what to add to it. Different demons have been assigned different flowers. Combatants and Navigators can be distinguished by where they "grow".

[insert list here]

Secondly, we need a place to meet up in real life. A few times in the past, the first round has used my dorm, but that isn't sustainable especially since other Awakened are and can be adults. I suggest a school-funded cafe project. Those of us attending Green Valley can use various excuses as an extracuricular activity focusing on economics, cooking, or whatever else. Adults could act as supervisors. Someone is free to mention a better idea.

Finally, I think we should start investigating figures of significance in Eddan and preparing to dispose of them if they turn out to have anything to do with our current situation.

could always meet up at my shop, I could clear out one of the back storage rooms

and so what you're telling me is that I need to find a Hawaiian print shirt with privets all over it

challenge accepted

[kokuyoyo]

Won't that look suspicious if you're hoarding teenagers in a storage room?

The app has image sharing capabilities now.

i'm not the strongest but i can help with clearing out one of the rooms

i've got good spacial whateverthingy or whatever it's called, i can fit boxes into place no problem

Dispose of them?

[This can't be serious.]

[kokuyoyo]

Yes.

[What, what's the big deal]

When you discover a disease, do you pat the virus on the head and say stop it or do you cut it out completely?

I've been arguing with the humans in charged with my career about buying a ice cream maker. Once that is finalized, we can set one up to be a base.

We would need to be certain of their actions in what we faced with that stinking rat. There must be a way to tell those who are infected by that kind of shadow and those who are just corrupted.

[kokuyoyo]

That could work as well. It would fill the only requirements that a meeting place would need.

Of course. It wouldn't do to waste our time on someone of no actual influence. I wonder if Navigators would be able to tell the difference like with the rats?

okay so you keep saying humans

what uh

what are you dude

i know that one of us has a family cafe so we could use that as a starting point

i can probably pass it off as a business interest so 'my' family gets off my back

we dont have enough girls to make it a maid cafe do we :(

[kokuyoyo]

Is there any chance of your family eavesdropping?

Technically, we could just put whoever in skirts, and it could still be a maid cafe.

Ran Mouri ⚔ Zepar

[singlefaith]

Um, wouldn't that be assuming that the girls would be okay with it?

Sorry, but I'm not.

[Protesting and awkward over here. She's not wearing a maid outfit and getting looked at!]

I can help with cooking, though, if it comes down to that?

Augustine Sycamore ⚔ Foras

If you're planning a school-funded cafe, I'll try to help as a supervisor if I can.

[kokuyoyo]

That would be helpful. Since you're already faculty, it would add some legitimacy to the whole thing.

[sociallyarcward]

The code looks good. I guess I need to start learning plant names...oh boy a new hobby.

And oh jeeze...are we back on your theory that it's the mayor?

[kokuyoyo]

I need to make sure I can memorize it as well. We can practice it when we have the time.

It's been updated in consideration that it could be anyone. Still, investigation is key. I don't want to waste our time on anyone who turns out to have no impact on our situation.

[possedere]

[He's content to popcorn at the whole murder debate, but more annoyingly-]

Flowers? Really?

[kokuyoyo]

I thought it might fit with the flora obsession the city has.

I can change it if you like.

[just dump all his hard work in the trash, sure, he's fine with it.]

Ankh ☸ Andrealphus

[connivingbird]

I would prefer birds but that is far too obvious.

Heiji Hattori ☸ Vassago

Killing will only beget more killing. Murder isn't viable solution and will only generate other problems in the long-term.

[blackdogdown]

Oooh look we have a guy with morals here! Wow! Color me suprised. Like anyone in this damn town is real anyway.

Gladion ⚔ Camio

[lovelledup]

Do you really think people are going to remember that whole list?

But if we're using flowers for code, then my dad's shop might be a place to meet without it sounding suspicious.

[kokuyoyo]

No.

[WELP]

The good news is that we won't really have to remember the whole list, and that we can always look over it again for refreshers if we feel we need it. At least a portion of the list isn't applicable just yet, for one thing. For another, most people will usually only refer to certain individuals anyway.

That's an idea, although we're getting a lot of them. We might as well just change up the meeting place every other week at this rate.

Yui Kanzaki ☸ Amon

[mirrors_wish]

Thinking about what everyone's debating. About killing people we suspect are involved?

I've been in that situation before. As the person everyone wanted to kill. It's awful and it...it doesn't really stop anything. I tried to take it into my own hands and that still didn't stop anything.

There has to be a different way. These monsters can't be just caused by people, can they?

Koujirou Genda ⚔ Marchosias

[beastfang]

[Genda is not getting in the middle of this ethical debate. Nope, he played mediator last time and in this situation getting involved is just asking for a headache and way laying information actually relevant to their survival.]

If we find a way to mark specific arrangements we can hide these codes in plain sight to mark places where certain individuals can be found for various reasons. Like for first aid or a safe place to stay for a day due to trouble.


Also considering your second point the age demographic so far means we have to chose something where various ages would be seen as normal to gather, especially without parental supervision. The cafe idea isn't a bad idea as it also has the benefit of generating funds for supplies needed during future encounters with those against us,
though getting the start up capital and making certain such a place has moderate success means it would be a long term goal for a permanent place.

[kokuyoyo]

[Good call, Genda. As always.]

We can make them more subtle than just flower arrangements as well. Flower stickers or drawings aren't unusual around Eddan. Stick them somewhere and they wouldn't be out of place. We could also come up with "decoy" flowers to stick around to throw off the trail and make them seem more natural.

[Much like how Genda had made sure to spread around the sheep plushes so that their marked ones wouldn't be unusual...]

That's true. Still, hopefully it would pay off in the end. Considering the variety of ages and social circles we make up, we could use that to our advantage.

Takeshi Yamamoto ⚔ Glasya-Labolas

[pouringrain]

A cafe sounds like a great idea. If there's anything I can do to help out, count me in.

[He's also going to pass on murder discussions, and just leave that to the more intelligent group. Long as no one was trying to kill each other, then he saw no reason to jump in for now.]

But it seems like you've put a lot of careful thought into this. The flower thing seems really cool, too! There's a lot that I've never heard of before.

[kokuyoyo]

[oh okay they're- doing this again. The friendly thing. Mm. It's sure a thing. Good thing this is over text, so Chikusa comes off as more responsive instead of just staring vaguely into the distance for a full minute before talking.]

I'll let you know.

[HE GUESSES??]

Eddan has an entire festival dedicated to flowers. I thought if anything was appropriate and which wouldn't be suspicious, it would be that. I relied on one book in particular for the flower meanings.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[foxhands]

dispose how?

[kokuyoyo]

If I talk about potential murder, will you have a loud moral problem with that?
