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).

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.
