[OPEN] 9/15 - Team Meeting

[joysticks]

[ With an info-gathering session on the eighth, Nanami decides to wait a few more days until they're about two weeks into the month to gather everyone again. She realizes that all the team members haven't sat down properly to bond with each other in a single group setting. She knows the importance of making sure that you get every single unit to have at least an A-rank with someone (S-rank if they're super compatible) and keeping up team morale so, on the thirteenth, a familiar shiny Mimikyu comes running up to everyone with a written note pinned on his costume: ]

team meeting plans to go to other islands and other discussions free food at Restaurant Le Nah tomorrow at 6:00pm - Nanami

[ Upon entering Le Nah the following day, a waiter will show the trainer to a large area in the back with multiple tables pushed together. There are already some appetizers ordered and spread across so feel free to help yourself. Nanami sits near the middle with her Mimikyu, feeding him by dropping little bits of food in front of him, and talking with her Mudkip, who just :V :V :V, as if she understands what he's saying. ]

( ooc: threadjacking is highly recommended in this log as it will be a group discussion! feel free to also create new top-levels that will only have a single type of discussion to keep things focused on the topic. )

[Things that only pertain to the children...]

The girl from the beach was lying to us when she said she didn't go there by herself. She met a Drifloon on the beach, and was buried in the sand. But maybe the beach is irrelevant? Because the Drifloons have been infiltrating the hospital in gift baskets, it appears; and kids have gone missing from other places.

[He knows nothing concrete and it's all conjecture.]

[joysticks]

[ Nanami will sit with him patiently throughout the entire night to help him, but alas, we know that's not possible. Thanks Jiro lmfao ]

Drifloons do target children, but do you know why the girl lied about going to the beach? Going to the beach is normal, isn't it?

[thetyger]

[It's for the best. Atsushi wouldn't make it the entire night still on this subject without having a nervous breakdown.]

Her parents told her not to.

[This is a simple answer and he cannot figure out what Nanami's getting at. He can't attend the next meeting, if there is one, bringing half thought out lines of connections that go nowhere.]

[joysticks]

Why?

[ Time to just lead him along... slowly... ]

[thetyger]

I don't know.

[They didn't ask and follow up on that. Efi ate the little girl's lie and everyone freaked out.]

[joysticks]

Then let's go to the beach or ask some parents. We can find clues if we search there more thoroughly and gather testimonies.

[ And add everything to the Court Record. She's imagining this as an Ace Lawyer game now where Atsushi is the new and upcoming protagonist who is still a little wet behind the ears and she is the quirky sidekick who helps him. ]

[thetyger]

I already went to the beach and talked to parents!

[He failed at both.]

[joysticks]

Let's try one more time. Sometimes, new paths are uncovered when you keep trying over and over again.

[ Also known as the moment of "idk what the fuck i'm supposed to do so i'm going to keep revisiting this area and retalking to everyone until the game lets me progress" ]

[thetyger]

Right... We can look closer at things.

[It's an acquiescence with no enthusiasm. If he goes back out there and fails again, it's only more proof he doesn't deserve to be here.]

[joysticks]

[ She nods. ]

Don't worry, Nakajima-kun. We'll be able to find something for sure... I think.

[ This would have sound way more hopeful if she didn't add the "I think" but oh well. ]
