openish | diplomacy meeting

[cozen]

WHO: Diplomacy Division
WHAT: A meeting (or a consolidation of several theoretically daily/weekly meetings)
WHEN: Nowish
WHERE: Diplomacy work room, Gallows
NOTES: See belowww.

There's no one sitting at the head of this meeting, but no one has the time to spend arranging the chairs in a careful egalitarian circle, either. For the most part the chairs remain at the desks, and the occupants are tasked with angling them this way or that to create a wobbly polygon with everyone facing vaguely center. There's coffee. There's more than one person, probably, taking accurate notes, because this is Diplomacy. There's a pleasant breeze through the busted window that occasionally turns into a paper-rustling gust. And there's work to do.

OOC | Tag this like a network post even though it's happening in person—action spam, threadjacking, branching conversations, no tag order. Make new top-level comments for new agenda items/conversation topics. Anyone can add a new thing. Please add new things. If anyone who isn't in Diplomacy wants to drop a problem/scenario as a top level (like "P.S. Bob made some nobles angry and that needs to be addressed") for everyone to talk about, please do that.

Also, mod hat: when inventing things our characters are doing or have done in the background, we're limited to little things. If something is significant enough to require a plot request, we can't say we're already doing it! But we can propose/strategize for future plot-request-sized efforts (and then do plot requests).

Oh, the one who fed the orphans?

Rifter would be hard to check up on.

[ his own notes are... less copious. they're there. there's just also an increasingly detailed doodle of what might be a kraken, or a misshapen spider. ]

Maybe not as popular.

I have had some success in the past auctioning rifted items, and those belonging to specific rifters are considered among such collectors to be of particular value. As we are, ourselves, the only effective means of verification—

[ With a that's settled (probably) finger snap, ]

Our dear rifter Jeanne-Marie, so kind to orphans, so cruelly taken. That sounds a little better than us getting away without any fatalities.

I know a few plausible-looking waifs who can cry on command. For a few silver they can boo-hoo about missing her.
