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!

[NETWORK//text @ everyone]
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.

Richie isn't really surprised by anything anymore. He just nods at the explanation and frowns trying to figure out if the robot can actually drink or not. Probably for the best that he doesn't in the first place.

At the clown comment he snorts and cuffs York on the head lightly.

"Fun isn't something I've had a lot of. I guess until today? I usually just drink and wonder if one of the berries or leaves here can work as an SSRI.

"But I'm a comedian by trade, if you believe it. So I guess I like that."

Maybe York should've answered that he didn't have a digestive system to start with. He snorts with amusement at the gesture that musses his hair, grinning. The ordeal in the library seemingly forgotten, the android seems to be doing better.

"A comedian huh? Yeah hard to believe but don't ask for my experiences. I don't know any. Too busy with a revolution and family issues."

Why was it easy to talk to Richie? Maybe because he was a bit like Duncan. Or helped York get into mischief.

"Revolution and family issues. Yeah. That sounds like a lot for a two year old," he says with a smirk and another nudge. "Well. Looks like both of us need to figure out some way to not be such sad sacks."

He gets up and extends a hand for York.

"Library is out. So whaddya say, go back to the execution trial or go fuck off to the beach and annoy some lobsters? Oooh. Or we can go mess around in the ships. Gosh. Options."
buildingitsir: (oh you're admitting to your stupidity)

"What does that say about the man hanging around a toddler?" The nudge is reciprocated with his own, gunning for Richie's side with the point of his elbow. "I'm not the sad sack that can only make friends with an android."

The offered hand is taken in a surprisingly firm grip and York allows himself to be hoisted back up. "Yeah I'd rather avoid the diner. The beach sounds good. Only been to the beaches on the west coast a few times but didn't go in the water. Are the beaches nice here or are they just as shitty as the rest of this place?"
