[ This (paper) invitation comes hours after Rika's death and the Temporals' return, giving everyone time to figure out their headspace. The ice bar at this time is empty, almost reserved for them, but alcohol isn't offered or provided. Order your own. There is a small board of documents laid at the center of the table. The handwriting is neat, uniform, and in the blackest of ink possible.
Outside of this, there's a piece of paper where "Recovering lost Watcher items" circled, but more topics:
- How many sacrifices will our situation need left? Do they need to fit certain criteria like team and age?
- How do we bring back the those in the realm where Dust has settled to where we are? (bring back the dead from the graveyard)
- What is the neutral option, the third side? How do we take it? How do we disconnect from our Temporal and Celestial alignments?
- How do we disconnect the Watchers from the Angels? How do we use these items to make them not so Dusty (angel)?
- Another way to kill Angels without using Dust from sacrifices?
- How much of a threat is the Magisterium? Are they part of this dispute in any way, shape, or form?
- Where is this Dust bomb? Is what Rochalizo holding related to that?
Open to suggestions.
Another section of the piece of paper is "topics to directly ask the dead." People are allowed to propose what they think is most important to learn from the dead here.
On a sticky note are the song lyrics:a tea party to start the night
filled to the brim with disquiet
there's not much to say
when they run away
out into a winter wonderland
this is a fight you can't escape
to be pinned down by tainted faith
pleading for their life
is twisting the knife
out into a winter wonderland
now we wait for what's discovered
and we pray that they don't suffer
there's truth to be found
but time's running out
lost out in a winter wonderland
Most importantly, there is a sign taped to this table:
The implication is that they will know... Maybe they are listening in. Who knows?
How the group wants to organize this post is up to them. Feel free to make sub-toplevels to organize sections and the like. But with so many things happening today, they are free to take the documents and discuss together on a different day. This toplevel is for W5 Weekend, but everything must be picked up on Friday. ]

hello
here is xie lian! he looks just generally tired and unhappy, snow in his hair, wearing a white cloak over his robes with a fluffy fur collar - san lang the ferret is tucked inside of the white fluff, and would be completely unnoticeable were it not for the red ribbon around his neck. he. looks through all of these documents for a moment, and eventually settles in front of the bigger piece of paper.
...mostly because he hates the wording of; ] ....sacrifices. [ hm. bad.
glancing to the room at large...? hello friends?? ]

[ H. Hello? Somehow, Esmerie looks just as puzzled as Alphinaud. ]
—Xie Lian?
Did you organize this?

Did you organize this?
[There's another person here, staring at some documents in hand... then looking up at the others, similarly puzzled.]
It wasn't either of you?

... Curious. As did I, and there was no name mentioned on it.
Hardly so. I would have at least put my own name down if it were.
[ Hello friends indeed. Jin is perched on his shoulder, the white-necked raven tending to herself with preening as Dokja gestures to the board. ]
Well since we're all here, we may as well see what we can sort out? [ He will be holding up a letter. ] I haven't had the time to share this so I may as well start here.

Hmh...
I wonder if our host plans on joining, or...
[He looks at the papers laid out for them.]

True. More information and discussion is always a good thing...
[ He hums. ]
It doesn't appear to be some manner of ruse, at least?

Maybe there's some need for secrecy...? I don't know.
[ Alphinaud pauses to look around, then calls out (but not too loudly, of course): ]
If our gracious host is currently watching, you need not hide yourself! [ ... ] If possible.

[Here's Sholmes. He's walking up to the board of documents and posting up a a piece of paper.]
[He turns to the rest of the group. He's changed back into regular clothes, and he just. Looks as empty as ever.]
I just briefly chatted with Mr. Joonghyuk before coming here. We were in a facility of scientists. I assume members of the Magisterium. They had kidnapped multiple children, some as young as four years old, up to around seventeen. All in order to experiment on them by...separating their daemons from their bodies.
[A shuddering sigh.]
A scientist told Mr. Joonghyuk that..."we take children to see if we can free them from "sin". And that if they could free them, we wouldn't worry about..."the bomb". The bomb is meant to destroy Angels, apparently. They seemed to be attempting to target the Angels to take them down. And children with high levels of Dust in them...were special. They wanted a sample of a child with a high amount of Dust to help them perfect that targeting system.
[...]
"If we're free from Dust, we never have to worry about Angels again."

... I have been told that I speak overmuch at times, but I suppose I should not take offense to it in this case.
Well, perhaps we should not tarry. If it is information we are meant to pour ourselves over, then let us do so.

[Just. Nodding dimly. Staring into the distance, for a moment.]
Cooperation is key. Let us figure out the puzzles at hand.
