mental link; after everything goes down on the evening of :038

[adamance]

[As it becomes apparent that it's time to move on—to shift forward in what feels like an endless pilgrimage, one in which none of the Hosts will gain any "true" enlightenment, as they will never see this culture as anything more than a means to an end. (At least, that's as far as Lexa sees it. Perhaps it's disrespectful. Perhaps she would bristle at it herself if it were about her culture. But then, no one is calling these people primitive and uncivilized like she's heard about her people in the past.)

Not that any of this will be spoken. This mission will go on, but it's a mission that can come to an end. That is something within their reach.

Which is why she opens up a mental communication to all the Hosts.]

( We must discuss, as a whole, how we hope to proceed moving forward. Before we pack up our things, I would prefer that we have some plan in place for how we act next. It'll prevent any further need to take on actions individually as we will be acting for each other. With the knowledge of each other's future actions.

That is not to say that I recommend against actions. But we can't act in contradiction to one another. Out of impatience for each other. We all hope to be done with this mission as soon as possible.

We have confirmed the presence of the Enemy. How do we hope to proceed? How will we ensure that the Descendants do not claim control of this power?

Furthermore, I implore you all to consider why it is the Enemy would act to prevent peace talks that could secure them the Nectar. And why it is that they need the Nectar. We are only fighting one battle here.

I won't lead this discussion. But we must have this discussion. We work well under time constraints. Let's have an idea of how we hope to proceed before we continue our journey. )

[That's her way of setting a time constraint, all in hopes that people will discuss what they will have to do. It's no longer about Keya (as far as she's concerned), but about their greater mission.]

[ooc: please please please treat this as an IC discussion post where people can threadjack and discuss whatever! i figured it would be a good idea to facilitate discussion here!]

Politics are all about proxies and fall guys. Even the opposition's AGENT is a stand-in for the real villains here.

They're reasonable questions. [ Paranoid, but reasonable. And then: ] Bellamy thinks the blood is the Descendant's.

[adamance]

( It's not a Descendant. It's a matter of determining which Descendant. )

[incinerates]

[ Picky. Here, he'll clarify: ]

We'll start with "the one who last wore the clothes". You know, in case he's a fall guy.

[adamance]

[Picky because I lacked information whoops.]

( Regardless of who it is, we know that the Enemy lies with the Descendants. )

[incinerates]

[ dont worry i did too........ ]

And what? They're the faction we've been backing?

[wrackful]

( Yeah, because picking a faction to back before we knew where the Enemy were sounds like a really smart move. )

[incinerates]

You're shitting me. So, now we have to gracefully figure out how to stab THEM in the back without screwing ourselves over.

[ POLITICS! ARE! SO! STUPID! ]

[wrackful]

[Bemusement, leant a little incredulous.]

( Seriously? How do you miss sarcasm when we're mind talking. )

[adamance]

( I was informed that he was rash. You may want to pass on the subtlety with him. )

[Mean and easily heard by Bakugo, but so it goes.]

[incinerates]

I asked a legitimate fucking question, I thought you'd give me a legitimate fucking answer.

Did we, or did we not pick a faction PRIOR to uncovering where the opposition was?

[wrackful]

[The reaction only has Murphy's amusement curling sharper. This one was touchy.]

( Nah, you screwing up doesn't really inspire me to repeat myself. )

[incinerates]

-- awesome. Thanks for the help, I feel so enlightened.

[ the only reason he holds his tongue and mentally stomps off is because the fire + fat idea was Cool ]
