Indictment

WHO: Absolutely everyone.
WHERE: The diner.
WHAT: A decision has to made about threats to the community.
WHEN: After an attempted murder, a chaotic rescue, and an awkward reunion. Now.
WARNINGS: Nothing yet. Mark it if something comes up because...
NOTES: Structurally, this is a mingle, so you can decide what part of this is actually important to you. What you talk about in here doesn't have to be directly Beck-related, but for details about the incident, further organizing, and if you want to determine what your characters might have done/seen/heard in the meantime, this post is still good!

Come to the diner. We have to talk.
If you don't show up, I'll assume you agree with me because you're incredibly intelligent and graceful. The city of Temba thanks you for your contribution to our justice system.



This was the last thing Tony wanted to do. The diner at least felt familiar, neutral--somewhere he could be in control, without having all of the attention on him. Being able to bask in the attention would have been so much easier. As it was, that felt like he would be inviting everyone to really examine the cracks in the armor. They were here because he had already lost control.

As if that didn't already feel enough like an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Tony found himself standing in a circle of seats that he had arranged, the tables pushed up against the walls, and couldn't honestly say how much that had been intentional. He raised a lip, and looked to Felwinter as though he would have any illuminating insight about productive interior design. He seemed like he wanted to be here even less than Tony did. Beck was his charge for the time being, though, and as awkward as it was to stand in his stupid chair-circle with the pair of them, Tony did appreciate having Felwinter there to keep an eye on their...problem. Even if having witnesses to his restless energy made it all the more humiliating. Felwinter couldn't sit on Beck forever just to make sure he didn't lure anyone else off the edge of a cliff, so they were all going to have to survive a little humiliation.

"I think the coffee's done," Tony declared, with absolutely no idea what state the coffee was actually in and readily moving toward the kitchen regardless. "Do you want one? I'll get you one. Do you do that sort of...?" He was still talking, and what Felwinter did or didn't eat and drink might have otherwise been something Tony pushed him about, but he was already mentally in the kitchen and trailed off as he went, flapping a hand to wave off any refusal of his offer or explanation about Felwinter's digestive situation. Maybe he would just stay in the kitchen and listen, let Beck hang himself.

Tony took a deep breath, pushing his sunglasses up his nose and squaring his shoulders, readying himself for a performance.

Yes, that does help, quite a bit. She miles in relief.

"I didn't know what it was, or the danger, and I was unbalanced in those shoes. I almost fell in. I was lucky to not."

The observation fron Jean does earn a bit of a sigh, but she doesn't relent from her spinning for a second.

"No, it does not. Not even in my world. The Circle tends to be better at it than most in my experience, but of course, I understand there is a bias in my experience."

"Hey, honestly? It's impressive you only almost fell. I actually did fall the first time." She flashed a quick grin.

"All we really have to go on is our own experiences, right?"

"Oh, I stumbled many times. Cayde saved me from being hit by a car, and a woman named Aeon saved me from the subway."

It was almost hilarious. The woman had been a professional acrobat, and she found the shoes horrid.

"Lucky that a lot of the people here seem weirdly helpful." Almost creepily so. Jean definitely wasn't used to people being accepting let alone accepting and helpful. "This," she moved her hand around to the situation at hand. "event seems to be the exception I guess."

Oh that observation earned quite the laugh from Lark. Jean, she was one of those weirdly helpful people.

"Yes, it is quite the exception. Yet there is darkness that eats at many souls. I see not why it should be something those brought here are immune to."
