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?

[ But maybe he shouldn't have speculated. Will he be disappointed if their reprieve at the temple comes and goes and no new faces show up? ...As long as it's possible some of his friends could be among them, then absolutely. ]
Would be kinda weird to have someone shove a camera in your face when you're still gettin' used to all this, huh? Man, we almost need like a full-on newbie orientation at this point.
[ HE IS NOT VOLUNTEERING FOR THAT. ]
no subject
Of course, he wasn't sure himself that he even wanted his friends here. They'd all get into trouble... and like hell he'd want Shinomiya to be placed in any kind of danger to begin with. It might not be this way all the time, but he'd feel more comfortable with the other staying home. ]
That... sounds good, but on the other hand, that may be a pain to set up. Plus, with all due respect... wouldn't that be something Astoria should do?
no subject
He's not wrong, and Astoria's explanation upon arriving had been enough for Prompto when he got here. But it's not enough for everyone. ]
Might be, but she's pretty busy, isn't she? I mean, it kinda seems like she's got a lot on her plate right now besides taking the newbs on a tour of the temple, or something...we could save her some trouble.
[ Though saving Astoria some trouble might not, uh, be popular with everyone. ]
no subject
That may be a good point to ask for a picture too.
[ And he's sure he could definitely pull off a good photograph! Of course!! ]

[ A welcoming committee sounds like a great idea honestly, but only if the committee part can actually happen. ]
no subject
[ Getting this kind of thing set up might take some doing, but maybe it can be done!! At least, Shirogane hopes so. ]
no subject
Yeah, for real. You know anyone who'd be good at leadin' a project like this?
