you better wise up, 'cause i'll rise up, bring on any challenge

[comeandfindme]

[ Early on Wednesday, word goes around for everyone to meet in the Boys Bathroom at noon again, for another meeting. This time, with Salieri's help, Peregrine is leading it. ]

Okay, you guys. So, we're all scared, but we're all still here. And now we know we're not alone. For our sake, and...for theirs, let's see what we've learned what we can figure out. ...We're not gonna have another repeat. Not again.

[She peers over at him, a little pensively, then smiles.

She was testing him a little, to be honest, with including him on the page. Hearing him say this, even with that--]

Yeah. I'm taking after you.

1/2

[violentenvies]

I suppose I can forgive the liberties taken, then, for the sake of organization...

[violentenvies]

[he drops his voice lower, just for the two of them]

But was doing this in public really necessary?

[brokeforgood]

It being in public is the point! [She... does not lower her voice, pouting at him.]

1/2

[violentenvies]

Would you--![that at normal volume, and then he takes a breath, tries again]

2/2

[violentenvies]

[back down to a quieter volume] Would you lower your voice a moment?

Things are not exactly black and white and some things are still, ah...undefined. And until they are defined, they do not need to be waved around at a meeting in front of everyone.

[brokeforgood]

[Oh. She lowers her voice, too. Half of her feels like she's done something wrong. But the other half...] Maybe you should-- define things, then.

[violentenvies]

[alskdhfs he looks a bit guilty at that, because she's right, but also--]

Yes, I know, there just...there hasn't been time. [it's a weak excuse at best, and Salieri knows it. He's been avoiding that talk, dancing around it but never addressing it for a week and a half now.]

[brokeforgood]

[Farrah sighs, and... reluctantly folds the paper up to cover their names. It's almost like she put them at the bottom on purpose, anticipating this.]

You really should. You... have a chance, right now. What if--something--

[violentenvies]

[Salieri's brow furrows at that, looking a bit...uncertain almost]

I know. You're right, I know, it simply...never seems like the right time, is all. There's always something happening.

[brokeforgood]

Well, if it helps, you both had the same expression when I rolled this thing out.

What's the worst that could happen?

[violentenvies]

I--I am not certain, perhaps this tenuous equilibrium we've found will break, perhaps it'll be more than someone who barely has any idea how to handle hugging will want, perhaps--

[--wait, stop, they are in a meeting right now, and though their voices are lowered enough that they shouldn't be overheard, this is very much not the place for this]

....could we perhaps discuss this later.

[brokeforgood]

[Oh, yeah, this is a whole thing, isn't it? She forgot why they were all even here in the first place. So she just nods, and gives his arm a little pat.]

[violentenvies]

Thank you.
