[OPEN] October Information Meeting

Who: CALLING ALL PASSENGERS
What: It's a family meeting Information Sharing Event!
When: October 1st, from the afternoon on.
Where: The Library!
Warnings: None? (Will add if necessary)
Notes: The information learned here can be osmosed by any character on the ship, regardless of whether or not they actively tag into the event. Consider this a game lore catch-up! Top-level comments don't have to be exclusive to the library,; if your character is likely to run off to the bar for a drink, or contemplate jumping off the bow, then you can include that prompt here as well! Basically a catch-all post for any "reacting to our existential crisis" posts you want!

The Setup:
A few nights beforehand, everyone Skulduggery's ever texted will receive a simple message:

A long overdue information-sharing session will be held all day in the library. It's time we all get on the same page regarding our situation. 1st of the month (is it October already?), attendance is encouraged. Please forward to interested parties.

That's how word spreads for the most part; but there are also some neatly printed notes pinned up in heavily traversed areas with the same simple news: Discussion of Our Situation: 10/1, Library.

The Library:
There are too many people to comfortably fit in one room, which will make it difficult for people to discuss the information that's been gathered. The library, thankfully, has a nebulously existing front desk area that is... currently unattended by any ghosts? Weird.

Everything is mostly the same as you'd expect it, except the majority of the chairs have been pulled towards the front. A low table is settled there as well, with every copy of Battle Royale and Gil's Diner set out to read.

The front desk has an array of memo notebooks and flimsy Eterna branded notepads strewn across it, along with a variety of writing implements. As the day goes on, these notebooks and pads will be filled with more and more insights from other passengers.

There's a black binder sitting there too; this is full of the information Skulduggery specifically has to offer.

The Meeting:
"Meeting" may be an overstatement, when all's said and done. There's a bunch of information available to read, and a place to discuss and process with others. Some people may choose to try comforting those who are visibly upset. Others may want to read some of the books that inspired their previous ordeals.

At some point, the realization that the buffet is the only working restaurant will spread, and food may be brought down for an awkward potluck. Still others may begin to bring liquor into the library. It's really dealer's choice here, as far as coping mechanisms go.

One thing that can be taken away from the atmosphere of the room: be very certain you want to learn whatever's in that black binder.

[Okay, fine. This is going to take more investigation than just visiting the front desk.

April looks at this, sighs, takes their personal notepad out and jots down the room numbers, just to see what the fuck happened this time. Is there a connection between all of them? Not that they're trying to solve a mystery or anything here, it's just that's the kind of thing that would leap out whenever they do go take a look.

They leave something behind this time, a post-it note on the drawing that says:]


Where are you finding this paper??

[Alright, wiseass.

Not long after this, there's a page torn off a sticky notepad and stuck to the drawing.



Is this self-reporting? Well, that all depends on who shows up, in a library that's surely empty - you'd notice if there was someone lurking, say, in line of sight of the library desk, wouldn't you? Who pays attention to what's in their peripheral vision, anyway. It's nothing, there's nothing, don't worry about it.]

[yeah obviously this is April doing their 'nothing interesting here' thing. It's just a matter of how long they can wait.]

[Fine! Fine, it's FINE, April has better things to do with their day anyway! 8-10+ hours is a reasonable amount of time to stakeout a place anyway, that's proof enough, it's fine whatever!!! They're not mad!!]
