Islander meeting!

[savedbyasong]

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!)

I figured it would!

[Not exactly, but he did at least figure it would serve some purpose for hydrating people.]

Yeah, I can totally take you. If they're good, we should move as many as possible before that island disappears, too.

...Do you know where to grow them? I was just sticking them in our baskets until we figured it out.

[shatteredlenses]

They like drier and sandier conditions to grow in which means they should enjoy an area similar to the coffee plants.

[So, into his garden with you!]

We should also see some of the plants to Muffet and Mira. They both have gardens and it is better to have such a useful plant growing in as many places as possible. Fortunately, should we run out of seed plants, Aloe Vera can also be grown from cuttings.

[want_to_belong]

Awesome! I wish we had a wagon or something so we could go move a ton at once. Maybe in the future?

[Just needed to invent the wheel or something.

With a pat on Ignis' arm, he pointed thoughtlessly towards the mana pool.]

Wanna head out now, then? We could grab some baskets to carry them in.

[shatteredlenses]

Hopefully, there won't be too much of a rush.

[It will be nice, strange vines or no, for this island to stick around a while longer than the last did. Still, Ignis isn't about to reject Prompto's suggestion, especially since the meeting seems to be winding down.]

That sounds like a wonderful idea. Bringing a few more back will ensure we have enough for everyone who wants some. Even if they don't have a garden, it won't hurt for almost everyone to have at least one plant at their cottage or shack. The nice part is they aren't hard to raise, so they don't need a whole lot of attention once planted.

[want_to_belong]

Guess that's what we'll be doing for a while then, huh?

[A little tedious, but he didn't sound upset by it. He was still proud that they'd found them.]

...How well are you getting around on these new islands? I mean, is it hard to navigate or anything?

[shatteredlenses]

For a little while, yes, but I suspect it won't take too long with us working together.

[Boring jobs are a little less so in the company of others.]

I've been doing fairly well. Rory's been my eyes in a way and I've made it a point...

[...after finding Mira hurt anyway...]

...of not going alone. Things could be much worse.

[Especially with those vines.]

[want_to_belong]

You know I'll always go with if you need.

[He was quite unsure of Ignis wandering around these new places, but much more so when none of the other guys were around. He could always make time if he needed to.]

She's been going with you?

[shatteredlenses]

Of course, but I also don't want to keep you from going out with others like you did with Laurent and Damen.

[Ignis gives Prompto a warm smile and then nods.]

She does. She doesn't like the idea of me leaving the cottage alone anymore than I imagine you do.

[want_to_belong]

Never hurts to have backup. I wonder how big she'll get when she's all grown.

And you don't have to worry about me. You know there's always a spot open for your company. I mean, we're a team.

[shatteredlenses]

It's hard to say, aside from my assumption that she certainly won't get as big as her mother. It would be quite difficult for any life to survive with multiple phoenix-suns so close to each other.

[He drops his arm around Prompto's shoulders then, giving him a gentle squeeze.]

That we are, and I have no intention of forgetting it. Don't worry.
