Ritual of Detestation 3: The Trumpet sounds Part 1 video, part 2 action

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ Garviel stares out at you through the videophones, his expression grim. ]

My friends and comrades. Given the recent deaths... and even more mysterious, resurrections in our midst, I propose that we all meet at 22 Harbor Street. It is a warehouse, and provides us with enough room to discuss the matters at hand. Matter the first: One of us was murdered and returned from the dead. Matter the second: Organization. While we have people who patrol with one another, and champions who fight for all of us, we are not organized. In the end, this will spell our doom. Just meet me at 8 in the evening tomorrow, so we can discuss battle-tactics, and a way to actually take the offensive against these shadows which plague us.

Action, 22 Harbor Street. ]
[ Inside a rather burned-out looking warehouse, that might once have been a place where freight was stored and shipped. The warehouse is lit only by a few guttering flashlights scavenged from somewhere, Garviel sits at the end of a long table, in a heavy wood chair. He has a hand and a half sword reversed in his hands, point down between his legs, a clear sign that this is a war coucil, though, as always, his clothing is simple, and unwarlike, the whole effect somewhat strange because of that. ]

Did you say returned from the dead?!

[FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU-]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I did indeed. One of our comrades is returned to us. I do not trust it.

[Well, the message made it sound like a pretty damn good idea to show up, so here he is.]

Tch...

[ The Grey Knight nods to Kanda as he enters, and gestures towards a chair. ]

[Calmly, Ledah takes a seat somewhere towards the middle of the table. In his mind, his lance is more like a pointed stick, but it will do in order to defend himself and put an end to this.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Greetings. [ Garviel booms. ]

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

[Private response]

'Organizing', huh? Is this something everyone does, or just middle-aged men like this guy and NERV? Can't hurt to show up anyway...

[Action]

[Asuka arrives, armed and looking ambivalent about this whole idea. She's got things to say, though, and she's not going to be quiet after people show up to hear them.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Greetings, Mamzel. Have a seat at your leisure. [ The grey knight sweeps his hand towards the seats available. []

[Well, he was needed for discussion, right? Still feel terrible from his resurrection, but they need his cooperation somehow.

Come on. Toss him few questions.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

[ Garviel fixes him with his grey eyes, and says. ]

What can you tell us about how you were returned to life?

[Video, probably segueing into Action later...]

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Hm. I dunno if you could really call us much more than acquaintances right now, but the idea does have some merit. Actually, I was thinking of something along similar-yet-different lines, myself. Don't suppose noncombatants are invited as well?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

We all serve a common purpose here. We are all warriors, whether we bear a bolter and blade, or if we are an archivist or intelligence specialist.

[After calling work to let them know of an 'emergency', Atsuro arrived at the meeting place. He sit down on a chair, placing his bag next to him.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I do not believe we have met before this time, ser. I am Garviel Loken. And what is your name?

[Video]

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

Did you say "returned from the dead"?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I did indeed. I saw someone die and they were then returned to life some days later.

[ In other words: Saber→Lancer→Garviel order.

There was no need to answer that video. Everything he said had been true and on the back of Saber's mind, yet she held on off things due to doing what she felt was more important.

Well, Lancer was in the process of fixing that for her. So the two arrive to this meeting together, Saber actually with her hair down and without the heavier armor of her gown. Pale skin, she actually gravitates towards Lancer, as if relying on the knight.

Until she sees Garviel. Straightening up, she'll walk towards the table, palms going to the edge of it as she stands at the opposite end of him. ]

Well? State your tactics.

[action: awwww yes]

[croibhristeoir]

[Lancer took off the glasses he wore and slipped them into his pocket, crossing his arms. He stood at Saber's left side in calm silence, as if waiting for a proper opportunity to voice his current problems.]

[Oh, did that big man say resurrection? She might not be all too sure about anything else he was talking about, but...]

Uu! It has to be Beatrice! Beatrice can do anything! Can resurrect and kill people as many times as she wants!

[A little girl wouldn't lie to you, Garvi. Right?]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

What? It was you? How?

[video]

[royal-painxx.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I really want to know what's going on with the death here and what kinda battle tactic?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

As for death, it appears that we may rise again if slain... and for the battle tactics, I'll explain... [ He goes into this explanation. tag in a separate branch from Saber and Lancer, he'll respond there. ] http://thevelvetkey.livejournal.com/16745.html?thread=1063785#t1063785

[Walking into the place like a boss. Frowning and all that jazz. Someone's been hurting mama's babies and she don't like it.]

What have you been up to? And have you talked to Kaito yet?

Re: Action

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Planning this, and yes, I have. There are more questions than answers... and as a scholar, we're going to need your help in particular.

Action

[Because war councils are familiar and therefore comforting. Yes. Klaus arrives fairly on-time. He doesn't seem to have had time to pick up a proper weapon, but he is swinging a broken metal pipe in one hand, which will certainly work for bludgeoning anything that gets too close.]

Herr... Loken, was it? Well met. Has everyone arrived and if so, shall we get down to business?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

That's right, and it looks like everyone who intends to come has come. [ Garviel gestures to a chair. ] Have a seat, we may be here for some time.

...Returning from dead !?

[WHAT.]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

People do not die when they are killed. Most disturbing.

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

[Video]
Wait, returned from the dead?! That's not even... I suppose that would be a good time to get more details on what's going on since I only recently got here. I'll try to be there as early as I can.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

We'll be waiting for you, this is a fairly important discussion and everyone should get a chance to contribute.
