There are a lot of things I can say here. I can chastise all of us for how discussions went before. But that's not important. People are in danger, and they're people who have helped us. I haven't made it a secret that I think Morningstar doesn't deserve devotion from us. The thing is, there's a difference between devotion and helping out someone who's helped you. It's time for us to do the latter. My issues don't mean anything. We know Morningstar can do good work.

So, let's talk. Let's plan. We should all do it in the same place.

I want to lay some ground rules.

1. Even if we've been asked to use the weapons only to stun any assailants, a number of us know it's not that simple. So, let's skip the morality talk about whether or not that's okay. Sorry, Gaby. I actually trust most people won't go in guns blazing. [She actually wouldn't if there weren't "civilians" involved. She's still not sure she does now, but that's unimportant. White lies have a place here.] Self-defense is a thing. Let's all trust one another.

2. I have a lot of questions about this. We all do. But we have a limited time to pull this off. Let's try to focus on what we can do and then figure out the rest later. If you think you can get answers now that can help us? Bring it forward. Make a new reply to draw eyes to it.

3. I figure we have two separate directions we can go, but we need all hands on deck. If you're not comfortable handling a gun, take the address for the safehouses and get them set up.

4. Nothing "funny" about these rules. Which means the first thing you're all going to say is ... about my rules. Get it out of your system.

[There is a lot more to say, a lot more to add, but Clarke knows that it likely isn't her place to talk about it. Plus, some of these people are adults, even if they don't act like it. Maybe they won't make a joke about her rules.

... But she bets they will.]

edit: Daisy set up a useful map for everyone. Keep it updated as best as you can.

[ooc: this is the previously discussed and set up IC planning post for the event! Clarke won't be replying to everyone.]

Uh, thanks. I mean it. Thanks.

[shorelined]

Of course.

Defending those who cannot defend themselves is a worthy cause.

[secondnature]

Is that something you do back home?

[shorelined]

[ given all this and given the complete lack of civilian identity kaldur has always had, he sees no point in lying. so: ]

Not on as large a scale as the universe.

[secondnature]

Well, you're here now.

We don't know what brought us here, but in my neck of the woods, having a hole in the multiverse can only spell out problems. And now there are multiple holes to all of our worlds.

I'm not saying that's the case here. Apparently things are different. But there's a chance that it's really bad.

[shorelined]

I am here now. And if I can help, I will.

[secondnature]

Not if.

You will help.

[shorelined]

[ if there is anything he can do —and there generally is. but kaldur is not here to argue semantics, or to argue at all. so instead, there is only a simple ]

Yes.

[secondnature]

All it takes is knowing that you want to.

[shorelined]

Of course I do.

[secondnature]

Good.

Maybe I'll see you out there.

[shorelined]

Whether you do or not, be safe.
