[ Y'know, Ciri still isn't a fan of this whole network thing. Feels invasive and she can't quite wrap her head around how 'private' it may intend to be. There's always ways around it, ways to use information against them if this information was leaked. Due to her inability to fully grasp technology, there's an ignorant worry there.

After their first meeting was strung together at the last minute at a damn titty bar, Ciri is still pushing for this. Pushing for something where they can all talk face-to-face without the risk of data being taken (as she noted was a BIG issue here). Build some sort of public alibi too.

So, here she is, getting ready to give deets on the whole next meeting. ]

Date isn't set in stone yet but we plan to have another get together to discuss things face-to-face without any kind of trail. I have found a few options, but I'm not quite familiar with their concepts or flexibility. I'd like for you all to put a vote, speak your peace and let me know. The last location was chosen in a haste and I understand some of you can't fathom seeing a tit to save your life, so... I'll be more mindful.

Here are the options:

1. The Purple Haze Club
2. The Silver Rodeo Buffet
3. New You Rejuvenation & Refreshment Spa
4. New Millenium Mall

They are all valid choices, however the point will be for us to remain... in the shadows, so to speak. This is not MS exclusive, anyone who would like to exchange information face-to-face is welcome to.

Thank you.

You guys meet often?
Is there a secret password to get in?

Sorry, newbie here.

[persists]

I’d welcome you but that feels a bit pessimistic even for me given the circumstances.

We met once before not too long ago, trying to piece together some things. No such luck but it allowed us to get to know one another.

No password, simply show up with whatever you can offer.

[drivein]

Is anyone keeping a document? Jotting this all down? I know in a world without typewriters and paper that it'd be hard take notes, but we should have someting.

@keith.kogane

[secondnature]

It's for everyone.

[drivein]

There's always people showing up, too.
Anywhere they can catch up?

[frostedplum]

My vote is for the club or the mall. I think the buffet is all right too, but the spa will probably be too quiet for us to talk about things.

[persists]

I was worried about the intimacy of the spa. It's for gathering and congregating, but gossip does travel.

Tell me, does the mall hold any downsides?

[frostedplum]

Maybe just distracting people with all the fun shops! I don't think we'll look too out of place, so the bright lighting versus the club's low lighting shouldn't make much difference.

@daisy.johnson

[evite]

if we're looking for shadows, i think the mall and the spa are out

i don't know what people have against strippers, though
they were good

[persists]

Hm. I would agree, but I'm wondering if in plain sight might decrease our appearance of looking secretive. Just a thought.

...They were quite good.

[evite]

buffet's not a bad spot, then
plenty of people in the area, but enough justification for us to all come to the same spot to eat and talk

we're going to look like total weirdos congregating in a mall to talk shop

@keith.kogane

[secondnature]

It should be held at a place that everyone is comfortable going.

[evite]

okay, so exnay strippers and add food?
or do you think people will have issues with eating too?

[ are you asking for a friend, keith, or are you just being ornery ]

@cassandra.cain

[cassassin]

buffet

[ look at all that FOOD ]

last time didn't go well ?

[persists]

[ THERE'S SO MUCH FOOD... and no one would suspect a giant party coming in together to get shitfaced on food. ]

No. The location was... ah. A miss. Unfortunately, there was limited choices last minute and there was some... perverse activity.

@keith.kogane

[secondnature]

It's a bad place to meet, okay?

smushes his cheeks

[persists]

I know that NOW. Which is why I'm trying to remedy for next time.

[secondnature]

That's not how this sounds.

[Even Keith can read your passive aggression, Ciri.]

@prom.argentum

[mercurio]

+1 on the club
i think it's better for covert stuff

lol where was it last time?

[he, too, cannot fathom seeing a tit]

[persists]

[ ok so about that... ]

We simply can't make it a habit. Becoming regulars may bring risks — so whichever we choose first, we'll move on to the next. The club is a personal favorite of mine. Dark, booze, food, and if we know the right people... it could yield us to some perks. Maybe the sections built for royalty.

[ aka the VIP table, i hate her fantasy dumbass. ]

It.

Hm.

It was last minute and the only play was Honey Pot Parties. It had a conference room however... some of the content was more akin to.

Er.

A brothel. Or at the very least, some peep show.

[ She didn't get laid, so she can't be for certain if sexwork was going on. :/ she just saw tiddies. ]

[mercurio]

royalty?? you mean like... vip tables? lmao

i think you just gotta make a reservation or pay for it and it's like okkkk vip table/room for y'all
it'd probs be a good idea to find out the schedules for these places
whichever we end up going to
when is it emptier and stuff like that

how many ppl would be going to the meeting?? that's important too

ok how did you even have a meeting in a place like that? weren't ppl distracted..

@leo.fitz

[retravel]

A strong list. Well done.

[ he's proud. ]

Club's my vote.
Noisier is better.

[persists]

It'll allow us to speak without inventing some codewords to mask our words. I'd like to speak freely about MS and what it means for us finding answers, but...

Well, you know.

@eren.yeager

[trample]

Figured someone would ask by now. Guess not. Who's going to be paying for all this? Can't be cheap.

[persists]

Think of it as some tab. Unless we're all lazy and not working, if we contribute even a small amount from our day jobs, this will allow us frequency in our meetings.

Do you want me to help cover your cost?
