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.]

What's amazing is your ego.

Meebo! [ He tugs on his hair gently. ] I still fit through the doors, y'know!

Don't call me that.

[And don't touch the hair, either.]

C'mon! Don't be so sour!

Maybe you wouldn't be smiling if someone gave you a stupid nickname that people wouldn't stop using.

Isn't that what family does? [ The words come out before he really thinks about them, even as he shrugs his shoulders. ] I'm sure you could think of a stupid one for me, too.

[....you....

dammit he can't even stay mad after hearing that. usually it's Sorey gushing on about them being family, and he's never disagreed, but it's nice to hear Zaveid say it, too.]

I might have to consult an expert for that.

Oh, yeah? Don't go asking Edna. She'd come up with something mean.

[ She already has. ]

Who do you think the expert is in this scenario?

[MEAN IS THE WHOLE POINT, ZAVEID]

She'd tell you to hit me!

[ He's fragile, Meebo! ]

[please.]

The act of hitting someone isn't a suitable replacement for a nickname. Anyway that's more her thing than mine.

[why smack somebody when you have looks that can kill??]

Yeah. Guess you don't have an umbrella.

[ And he's much nicer to lean on. ]

I do have a staff, though.

[so don't get too comfortable.]

Uh... I've got a necklace?

...Are you going to whip your necklace around like one of those pendulums?

... I think Dezel would kill me.

Kill you, or kiss you?

[now that he knows about it he is literally never going to let that go]

[ JKSDJGDK !!!!!! BRO!!!! ]

Ugh... Kill me. Don't tease your elders!

Don't be angry, I was just asking. I feel like it's a fair question at this point.

[what, what!! no one's teasing anyone, definitely a serious question, yes sir]
