Who: The Berserias and the Zestirias.
Broadcast: No.
Action: Lounge of the Wonderduck.
When: August 20th.

[As relaxing as the vacation in the Kayanni system had been, there was still something that weighed on Eleanor’s mind. Calibrations hadn’t been easy on anyone, and even a month later, she still felt on edge. Among other things, calibrations had highlighted just how little information was shared between Velvet’s group and Sorey’s.]

[They were trying to hide things, per se, but there were some conversation topics that didn’t come up naturally. Even if the two groups were over a thousand years apart, there was something to be said about sharing knowledge. After all, considering the lifespan of the Malakhim, it was likely the information would be relevant to at least some of their group.]

[It takes the better part of a week, but each of the relevant parties will be contacted by Eleaanor in some way. The meeting is set for the 20th of August in the evening, in the lounge of the Wonderduck. The lounge itself is still quite small, but nine people can still fit reasonably comfortably, and there are a even few snacks and drinks set up around the room for anybody who needs (or wants) to eat.]

[Anybody who arrives early is welcome to take a seat, or to flag down Eleanor as she goes to and from the kitchen.]

You sure about that? I remember when Laphicet was around...

[ He was there, bro. ]

Hey, he grew up to be a good kid, didn't he?

[ Not at all thanks to Rokurou's influences, of course. ]

Yeah... Don't think that had anything to do with you, huh.

[ He's teasing. Mostly. Loves u, bro. ]

[ It's cool, Rokurou doesn't mind the banter. ]

Aw, c'mon, I taught him at least a thing or two about stuff!

[ What that stuff is, who knows. ]

[ Sometimes you gotta bully your bro. ]

I dunno if that's the kinda stuff Velvet would like to hear...

[ That's how you know it's a true friendship. ]

Seriously, don't tell her, I still don't have a weapon yet.

[ And Zaveid just laughs, because this is too easy. ]

Afraid she's gonna eat you?

That's actually a very real potential and you know it.

[ He scoffs a laugh. ]

I promise not to let her know, alright? I guess I'd be sad if you were eaten.

Awww, I knew you cared.

[ It really is this kind of stupid banter that Rokurou missed most while traveling alone. ]

Hey, I'd get bored without you around.

[ Who would he drink with? Eizen?! ]

[ A guy can't have only whiskey all the time. Who would be your sake buddy? ]

I haven't even gotten up to anything since I got here.

[ Except for taking apart the ship a little bit for a temporary sword-replacement, but that doesn't count. ]

[ True. He'd get completely bored. A waste of good energy. ]

Maybe we oughta fix that.

Hey, I wouldn't argue. I can feel my bones stiffening up from lack of use here.

We should find you some stuff to do before you turn into a statue.

If you've got a way to earn up some more money to get myself a blade, I'm all ears.

Uhh. [ Zaveid scratches at his neck awkwardly. He's got so much money left over from murdering Mikleo that he's not entirely sure what he ought to do otherwise. ] We could go shopping together, see what we can find?
