Islander meeting!
Who: Everyone!
What: An information gathering meeting, mingle log style!
When: 13th as advertised Here!
Where: Big tent, islet 4 (sorry Ardyn!)
Warnings: Keep an eye on subject lines for warnings!
[The tent is a good place to have this. It's sheltered at least. Shion has collected strawberries and also water. He hopes that people will turn up, there's a lot to discuss. About this place, how they are here and how to leave. But also surviving here. Helping each other make the most of being here.
They had done such things in the Tower and it was a good way to get things organised. He knows he has questions and he thinks other people probably do as well. If it's anything like the Tower then people all have different bits of information that will fit together eventually.
He greats people as they enter and will encourage anyone who looks less than certain to enter and offer them strawberries.]
((OOC: So I'll put up a subthread for mingling before the meeting, then discussion points can be posted as a reply to this main thread. I'll do a few for things Shion will bring up but feel free to post your own points as well! Tag around, do breakout threads, discuss all the things. Don't worry if things go off topic. Have fun!)

But it seemed too much of a coincidence that him and Aster were both here. That they both came here after the Tower, together. Sometimes there had been many people from familliar worlds and sometimes only one or two people. Shion had only ever met a Rat from his world and his world was distinctive enough that it was obvious when worlds were even a little like his. Aster had known a lot of people from worlds similar to hers, people similar to those she had known before.
No pattern or obvious reason. But Prompto had a good point, out of all the people on Prompto's world never mind all the people in all the worlds there ever was how had he ended up with versions, if not the one's from his own world, of his friends.
"It makes no sense..." He stared at his book, "It's all too... big. The Tower was bad but we escaped and now..." He looked around at the meeting, at the islanders talking. "It's so much bigger, it's not just this place, we don't know who is behind any of it, or what their motivations are in taking us. Why us? Why together? Where..." A breath he needed to breathe. "Aster was here for two months before I got here... where was I? I have no memories of that time..." Yet they had left the Tower together. If he had been on his world then why couldn't he remember and if not then... where had he been?
Breathing. He shouldn't panic, not in front of Prompto.
no subject
But if he brought up that they might not be the versions of each other that they really grew up with, would he still want to be friends? He knew Ignis wasn't like that, yet he couldn't help but worry.
"Maybe it's better not to think too hard about it. I mean, we can't really know right now, right? So, we should try not to worry." A bit hypocritical, but he was telling himself that as much as he was telling Shion.
no subject
He breathed and looked at Prompto before nodding, he didn't want to worry Prompto, felt bad he had already made him worried. Made him think about these things that had no answers and were terrifying to contemplate.
"Knowledge is important though... if we don't understand this then we will never escape." Ignorance would only leave them trapped. "Don't... you shouldn't worry though..."
Not that reassuring, really.
no subject
He wouldn't even know where to start looking. Besides which, he wasn't worried about leaving. "Staying here wouldn't be so bad. I mean, the place you and Aster came from didn't sound so great..."
no subject
He shook his head, he wasn't even sure he wanted to go home, back to his own world. It was complicated and he had mostly been trying not to think about it. Going home... he had been pushing to go home to save Safu but she was dead. He knew that now. Had suspected it for a while. Going back would not mean seeing his mum again, the only reason he had to return to No.6 would be to destroy it. Rat... He missed him so much but...
"Aster made the choice to go back to her world, she has unfinished business there. She made that choice so I'm going to help her succeed." Even if the idea of never seeing her again made his heart hurt so much, he had already said goodbye to her forever once... he didn't think he could do it again. But her choice was more important, her life and her decision to put things right was more important.
no subject
It was oddly flat for him. Like he was just making a sound to fill the void of silence, without any enthusiasm behind it.
"Yeah, I can understand that. My friend wants to go back, too. And if he goes, I go. ...I think we could be better off here, though."
Tough decisions he'd rather not make.
"Doesn't even matter much if we don't have a way to get back anyway."
no subject
He had no idea how, but they had had no idea how to escape the Tower for most of their time there and they had still done it. Still escaped Ruana.
"And if you don't wand to go back home... we can find somewhere. Somewhere better."
no subject
"Yeah. We'll figure things out."
Reaching out, he gave Shion a light pat on the shoulder. After all, he obviously wasn't a fan of this subject, either.
"One way or another, everything will be okay, so don't worry too much about it."
probably wrapped?
There were more people, ready to answer his question and to ask his own. The meeting was going well so far and Shion was glad that people had come and were willing to share information.
Yeah, good with me
"Be sure to keep in touch. You know where to find us if you learn anything!"
