[ Oyez, oyez, oyez, you’ve got a call on your magical crystal. Pick up the phone and you’ll see Glee, looking serene, confident, and in her element in (1) organizing things and (2) telling people what to do. ]

It has been almost two months since we were conscripted by ALASTAIR, and we have yet to meet, introduce ourselves, and discuss what we’ve learned in person and in an orderly fashion. In light of recent… developments, increased cooperation will become a necessity to pool what we’ve learned and plan a deliberate way forward.

I expect all of you at the red warehouse between the commoner's district and the outskirts, six days from now at sundown. For those of you inclined to provoke tensions with local law enforcement, incarceration is not an excuse for tardiness or absence.

Meanwhile, in the same room...

[dailydouble]

[ There's a small smile tugging at Ahad's lips, as he watches Glee record the message. It's very her, in a way he can appreciate. ]

I did like the part about incarceration being no excuse.

[becauses]

[ For a moment, Glee arches an eyebrow into the crystal's camera equivalent... ]

Re: Meanwhile, in the same room...

[becauses]

[ ... then she very deliberately lowers the crystal and stares at him, fond but unquestionably reproachful. ]

We are not falling into that particular habit.

[ because it absolutely has to be asked: ]

Will refreshments be served? Coffee and pastries, specifically. This universe also seems to have a wide variety of sausages that may require sampling.

For business purposes.

[becauses]

[ That earns him a small head tilt, because the refreshment issue been pointed out to her before. She and Ahad really need to have that Talk sometime. ]

Yes, as a matter of fact. To the refreshments generally, not to the sausages specifically.

[dailydouble]

Perhaps you should be in charge of refreshments. Since you seem so concerned about them.

[ He'll raise an eyebrow, waiting for his challenge to be met. ]

[inroad]

You really mean all of us ? In the same room together?

[becauses]

We are co-workers.

[dailydouble]

It seems the most efficient way.

[ Perhaps not the easiest way, but workable. ]

'Incarceration is not an excuse'? Ain't it an excellent oooone ♪?

[becauses]

No. I'm sure you can avoid brawling for the next week.

[dailydouble]

I believe you already know the answer to that. She's unlikely to change her mind.

_{[ Suddenly raising his hand on the other side of the screen, Gintoki speaks with the typical disinterest in his voice. ]}

Shoth-sensei, does that mean Friday's homework is also due? What is the penalty if somebody hypothetically doesn't get it done in time?
_{[ He is .. joking, but it's hard to tell with such a dry expression he wears. Perhaps homework means something else. He does genuinely thinks Glee's idea could be a good one, trust me. ]}

[becauses]

[ There are a lot of nonsense words in that sentence, but she gets the gist of them and of the tone. She's not even particularly irritated. There's nothing wrong with being a teacher. ]

Since you brought it up, prepare a report on something about Chantes that you know better than anyone else, and submit it to me in text by Friday. I'm not inclined to deal in hypotheticals.

[ Her eyes crinkle a little at the corners, the tiny hallmark of a suppressed smile. ]

Thank you for speaking up to volunteer.

[dailydouble]

[ The homework part is new, but at least he'll learn from the experience. Ahad will shake his head slowly, before speaking. ]

I do hope you're prepared for an assignment, now that you've challenged her.

I have to wonder how far promises of good behavior will go with this crowd - or perhaps how many would even be inclined to offer them in the first place.

[Because this group is a disaster waiting to happen, or more like a disaster that happened a few times already now being offered a chance to happen again.]

Regardless, you have mine.

[becauses]

My partner and I will enforce good behavior if necessary.

The promise is appreciated, however. It does give us one less person to keep an eye on.

[dailydouble]

I am less concerned with behavior than I am with information being brought and shared.

[ a refreshing change what with all the running around he's been attempting. lousy magic jewelry. after all the disorganization, as well, it's good to see someone take the lead.

that said, as much as he can appreciate the militance, it's an empty sort. ]

Why don't you let ALASTAIR pick up the slack, eh? Those who show up will decide on the plan.

[becauses]

People who don't appear are the same people who are likely to ignore whatever the core group decides.

That makes full participation essential.

A meeting? I guess there's no reason I couldn't be there. I think I know the general area you mean at least. I know a lot of us have been using these to talk to each other, but meeting in person might help.

[It's worth a try? Sakura's willing to give it a shot, at least.]

[dailydouble]

These devices have their uses, but can be inconvenient for organized discussion.

[ That is what a meeting in person is for. ]

Eh... isn't "sundown" technically all the time? It's a little hard to pen into my schedule like that. [He means, he can, just he might be late, you know. Or early? He'd hate to be early.]

[becauses]

[ It's a good thing this is audio because he'd see her pursing her lips. The lack of the sun is like a personal insult to her. ]

The time that would be sunset in a proper world.

[of_her_own_accord]

[It must be A1. She doesn't have a bandage.]

A laudable goal. I can only hope people will be inclined to listen. Some of our teammates have entirely too much of an ego.

[becauses]

Only some?

[hellshaped]

Should we bring some snacks? Maybe some beverages? [This is a joke, but still. Should they.]

[becauses]

Of course. They're customary at meetings like this.

[ She knows it's a joke. She's going to take him up on the offer anyway. ]

If transportation can be arranged, I shall be there.

[dailydouble]

It can be arranged, if necessary.

[ But he has lifted an eyebrow, curious about why transportation is needed but not rude enough to ask outright. ]

Oho, it's a party! I hope you got all the appropriate tunes for the occasion.

Perhaps you missed that those who suggest something often find themselves in charge of it?
