So.
[ it is a public message, to the network, that pops up on the circle's watches and roy looks Less Than Pleased (tm) with the sudden state of affairs. the weather in the temple is absolutely out of control, there are apparently weird cakes appearing in the kitchens, and the fighting ring has turned into a magical court. great.
so, that may be the reason why roy's tone is particularly clipped, or even frustrated. but he seems methodical, in his words, and he is sitting at a table with a notebook, a glass of water, and a weird looking lizard on the table that has an odd rainbow-shift to the scales.
( ignore the lizard. it seems roy is. ) ]
The Circle is currently compromised of people of a variety of talents; soldiers, magicians, teenagers . . . all of us have particular skills to contribute to the cause of whatever it is we're meant to do here. I know quite a few people [ like maes, and barabas ] have been keeping track of various magical powers that we have been gifted, and organized some semblance of structure -- all of which is necessary. But we have to acknowledge what happened to Akvos.
[ he pauses, there. ]
Astoria has not been entirely clear with the Circle on what our purpose is. That may be an innocent error, or a purposeful move to win our trust. I'm not here to argue the merits of whether or not we should trust her, but we have no choice but to participate in whatever world she sends us to. Whether we like it or not, we are stuck there until she brings us back, and we have some opportunity to assist whoever is there. We cannot depend on her to figure out what to do in order to prevent another Akvos, or -- it seems, another El Minha, given King Kathashun is no longer in his own world.
[ roy taps the pen against the table once. ]
I don't have any solution as to what we did right, or wrong, or whether or not it was our fault in the first place. But I want to begin the conversation to work to prevent it again, and seeing as Astoria is either not willing or not capable of explaining herself at the moment, we need to learn to work without her. What are we missing? What do we need to work on? And what can we do in order to be more organized before our next world?
[ and, finally, roy feeds the lizard one (1) piece of lettuce, which it lazily seems to chew on. ]
I'm of a mind we need to organize fighters, healers, and transporters, but I'm open to ideas and suggestions -- and questions, about previous worlds to those who were not there to experience them. I have been to El Minha, Struxta, and Akvos. And I'm certain "older" members of the Circle will be happy to share their experiences, too.

Who wants to keep notes?

One of the aspects of my power I haven't tested much of is how many people I can teleport at a time. Mostly it's been about my own 'speed' and 'how often.'
[He stops, the pen 'teleports' out of his hand. He calls it back a moment later.] I know that if I'm not familiar with an object or person I have to have physical contact, but if I can get a good visual it isn't always necessary. It might be a good idea to start exploring that if we're needing more people with transportation capabilities.

We'll find out. I've seen a few people around have boosting abilities. They don't seem to last but, that's something to consider too.
[Video]
[So, if he could do it, he could potentially get a lot of people out in the long run.]
Like the power boost we felt during Akvos? That could certainly be a good ability to have around.
[He smiles.] Want to help me find some volunteers?
[Video]
[It's a system that could work out just fine. Teleporters and shapeshifters getting people and supply into position. He has the inner cargo bay when in Lion form but...he doesn't want to use that unless he has to.]
And yes, like that power boost. That was extremely helpful.
[Video]
[He's going to need some supplies, but luckily they should be able to do it with the stuff already around the Temple. He's already making a mental list.]
