Council huddle!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

They had more than a few things to get to, now that Things were Happening at an ever-increasing pace. A new Councilor to bring up to speed; plans to make and information to share; a question of how to deal with integrating new crew members into their plans... and Zetta for one was practically bursting at the binding to tell them a particularly juicy nugget of information.

(And, uh, after that whole unplanned fake traitor thing he'd pulled at Punishment, he owed them some explanations, but he didn't know that.)

Consequently, the Overlord had offered up his Fortress -- a blind spot in the City -- as the next meeting area, which he thought to be a fairly clever stroke of genius. How could it seem suspicious to meet at an extremely egotistical Councilor's home?

So the book sat in a comfy armchair which he'd had pulled up to the dining table he'd bought waaaaay back on XaXing, and waited for the meeting to come to order.

Comments

[theprophet]

Tarrant had taken a seat at the dining table: quiet, fingers steepled. Where he was content to remain, apparently, as he waited for the others to arrive.

[governorkang]

Kang had found his own chair, luckily one that didn't pinch his wings, and sat across from Tarrant, leaning back comfortably. He wasn't happy with Zetta's little stunt, but he would voice that later, once everyone else had arrived. He wasn't looking forward to Crucible being there either, but he could set aside personal issues for more important matters.

He nodded at both in greeting.

Rhiow arrived suddenly, appearing in the middle of the table with a loud clap of displaced air. She moved around the ship on foot less and less, trying to minimize the chance that anyone would see her. She wasn't sidled this time, at least. She sat up straight, curling her tail around her paws.

[dhianeila]

Unlike Rhiow, Dhianeila, who could theoretically do the same in having her projection pop up anywhere she pleased, still preferred to appear outside of whatever room she planned to enter before actually entering.

Spotting the others already there, she sent a polite nod to them all in greeting. "Hello," she spoke with a smile, before moving to 'sit' in one of the other chairs.

[dragonlordbight]

Bight did not take long to arrive, taking his own chair further down the table as far from Kang's chosen spot out of respect for the draconian, for matters of importance such personal matters could be put aside. Reaching into a pocket of his robes he set a small, ornate box on the table before him before nodding in greetings to the councilors present.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Hey, just so everyone knows, we can talk here without being overheard," Zetta said. "Which is good, since man, I've got some stuff to tell you guys."

[theprophet]

Tarrant nodded to each of the occupants of the room as they entered, eyeing Bight's box for a moment and making note of the distance at which the man (for now, anyway) chose to seat himself. He was curious, of course, but he'd wait to ask after the trinket until later.

Once everyone was present, he settled back ever so slightly in his chair.

[governorkang]

"This is a blind zone?" Kang asked for clarification. "Very convenient."

[on_errantry]

"As we need a place to meet frequently that is absolutely a blind spot - in the interest of my cover and yours - I propose we use your fortress from now on," Rhiow said. It was as good a starting place as any. "If you're willing."

[dragonlordbight]

"Such a blind spot would be of great use," Bight commented with a dip of his head, "I do however have a number of options that may allow for more freedom in meetings and locations, I shall leave them however until afterward," He tapped the ornate box with a finger before leaning back in his chair.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Of course I'm willing. That way, when we meet here, it looks like a testament to my massive ego rather than anything suspicious." Zetta grinned, eyebrows arched. He was feeling particularly pleased with himself.

"I've got some really good stuff for you guys, but maybe we should say hi to the new guy first," he continued, eyeing Tarrant.
