.:A Brief Interlude:.
Who: Ganymede and people.
What: It's a meeting.
Where: Mac Anu, Ganymede's McMansion.

Warnings: Nothing yet.
MAC ANU ~ GANYMEDE'S MCMANSION

The everpresent afternoon sunset hangs, echoing picturesque across the glass windows apparent at each spot within the large building. In a large room full of tables and what not are heaps of various cuisine settled here or there. Seafood, pastas, drinks, the like; Mediterranean style so if nobody likes that...gomen.
Ganymede has made it clear that he prefers people to be here in order to get themselves together. Sorted, somehow. They're all acting with a sort of independence he seems disinterested in disturbing, but he wants the prospect of potential solutions to be floated along.
If someone has new information they can share, well, it is encouraged. If not, he hopes that they will at least participate in some way.
It now begins.

MEETING INTRODUCTION
Then, he stands up, crossing his arms, unafraid to stand in front of a group, often used to doing so. Now, to deliver the incredible heroic protagonistic ( l o l ) speech he has prepared three days and three nights for.
Lo and behold... ]
Since we're here, everyone should talk already. Well?
[ Wow, inspiring... ]
MEETING TALK
DATA DRAIN
...Which of you guys also happen to have the ability to Data Drain?
We should talk about it a little more, including maybe how we can team up with people to deal with the monsters, alongside the potential drawbacks.
no subject
I haven't tried to do it myself but— [ the reason for why she hadn't exactly been super eager to jump in front of the monsters and all of that might be more obvious to some than others. ] I'm able to Data Drain the monsters.
But we should think about forming teams to deal with the monsters to make sure that none of us push ourselves too hard.

[She's trying not to spread the detail if its relation to Zelkova, it being literally a part of himself seems a bit private. But everything else...]
I encountered those glitched shields a while back when running one of those special areas. I hadn't seen monsters like that anywhere since until now, but at the time... absolutely nothing we could do would break them. We definitely would have been killed if Zelkova hadn't shown up and used his Data Drain ability. I don't know the technical explanation but I guess it absorbs the code that makes those shields? It gets rid of the shield completely so you can kill the monster like normal.
Don't get in a fight with any monsters with green shields if you don't have it, because nothing's going to work. And Zelkova warned using it too much would cause drawbacks, so the less people running around picking fights the better for everyone.
For those of us who can do it--I think we'd better keep any patrolling to the most frequented streets such a to the chaos gates. We don't know if root towns will ever be safe again, so we have to be mindful with ourselves too.
[And not hunt down every monster in every nook and cranny. That means they can't make the place completely safe... but better than not safer at all because everyone that can Data Drain wears themselves out.]
And remember, guild halls and recreational areas are still safe right now. Nothing but us seems to be able to get into them. If you don't have a guild, we got a few with public recruitment including Zelkova's.

ΔHidden Forbidden Battlefield
By the way, Vogel and I went on another one of those Special Areas. It was called ΔHidden Forbidden Battlefield.
There was another stone dragon that was hanging around there above us, as if watching us. But also waiting; like it has been doing so for a long time.
[ Albedo describes its appearance so well that nobody here would be able to miss it if they saw it wow. ]
In addition, there was an altar, with five different colored gems. The five gems were colored red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. They all correspond to elements in the game.
Where all paths converged from the gems there was also some sort of a dirt clearing. I imagine it could've been a place where something was meant to be left. That is my best guess at this time.
Beyond the altar, there were ruins, unable for us to access due to rather high walls that could not be breached even by attempting to fly over them.
The stone happened to be wet and old. The building with the ruins is in such a terrible state that it was difficult to ascertain what it once was. There's a lake as well, sitting on the edge of all of this. The shoreline and the immediate area is made up of dead plantlife, as well as quite a numerous amount of dirt.
Lastly, there was this feeling of loneliness that intensified upon our stay, and the feeling that something extraordinary would be upon us if we did not leave. That is all.

But Albedo's observations have been logged. He feels like he has so much to do after this meeting. If anything, he feels like this is CC Corp conference lite. ]

@ DV / LILY / MYSTERIOUS VOICE
Has anyone had a conversation with a voice recently? ( A beat; he narrows his eyes, frowning. ) He might have introduced himself as Lily, but I think most people know him better as @ dv - the entity behind the level cap armor and the mirrors.
( Tail flick. )
Anyone who can actually share what they talked about, I mean. But a headcount may have worth, too.
( Tail flick tail flick... OOCly I know not everyone has finished their Lily threads so feel free to hit up this topic later!!! I'm actually skedaddling out for the day so (runs) )

Anyway, unlike what you'd expect of someone annoying about gathering Plot Lore like him, you can find him mostly strewn about various places in the guest areas - strewn about as in literally laid down across couches, across floors, etc.
He seems to come to life on occasion to interact, and he seems sometimes to even be listening even when he's just kinda lying down like this, but, otherwise... try not to trip? He's probably underfoot right now!
Though, there's a chance a nearby fluffy black labrador - Basque - will bark at you the second before you trip over him and die. Say thanks to Basque. Say thanks to her anyway if she warns you too late and you trip over Mithrun anyway. )

Other than that, he's just quietly listening in on everyone's conversations. This is a public space, after all. And wow, he is learning so much today. The pains of being a playable mod character. But he's also analyzed a lot of things based on who said what words, and boy. He's not liking how this looks like. ]
I'm glad I'm in the loop now, but this is a lot more than I expected...
[ He's also behaving and only eating a single normal portion of food so that everyone else can eat too. This stuff is good. He'll have to get recipes out of Ganymede later. ]

And now people are just fucking brawling?? He doesn't feel particularly strongly one way or another, given his feelings towards parties involved, and he does enjoy watching people duke it out; this time it just feels off.
Dosei is just going to be sitting far off from the blast zone, but anybody who decides to come near will get a side-eye and a dismissive flash of hand signs. ]
