Preparations for a Fierce Battle

[forcegalactic]

Who: Everyone
What: A meeting to discuss the plan of attack against Palitutu
When: July 13th
Where: Old Observatory
Warnings: Threadjacking and discussion is heavily encouraged

[Anyone approaching the Observatory can smell the meeting long before they enter the building. Mordecai and Ellena worked hard the past several days cooking dishes for the Heroes and any guests they brought, resulting in a tiring contests of who could cook the most.

Dishes from Mars. Dishes from Ellana's world. Pastries. Any snack the two of them could find the recipe for. If there were some people that were unsure whether to come to the meeting or not, free food is the strongest argument.

The largest meeting room is prepared with tables and chairs for everyone to sit down, with sofas lining the sides. When everyone settles down and grabs a plate, Mordecai steps onto an area at the end of the room devoid of tables and chairs.]

Alright, alright. We got food in our stomachs, so it's about time we get this started.

Now, we all know why we're here. Palitutu's comin' in less than a month, and we still need to come up with a plan of attack. Seein' how big this team grew, there's gonna be a wide differences in opinions. Last thing we need is all of us disagreein' on what to do at the last minute.

[Like a few days ago. That was a disaster.]

We have plenty of reason to believe that she's not gonna listen to anythin' we say and kill us at the start, so we'll need to prepare our openin' move. There's plenty of ways to fight a WEAPON, but we gotta work together to do it in an efficient manner.

So. Now that I got your attention, what ideas do you have to offer?

Jack manages to prevent himself from rolling his eyes as he stands up. "I'm going to have to advise the exact opposite. We have reason to believe that the native life on Crystallis is what is generating the crystal that holds back the Calamity. The more of us who come here from other worlds, the faster it spreads. But the more people are still alive on the planet, the more the planet can oppose the Calamity. Our top priority needs to be keeping people alive to give us more time to fight the Calamity."

"And I advise that he gets overruled because we already tried the 'save everyone' route and look where that got us!" Deadpool said. "I mean, okay, what if the mashed potato decides that kick all of our asses next month. Who's going to defend the world, hm? We die, boom, she wins!"

He begins ticking off his fingers. "I mean, by training the citizens to actually fight, we are able to have greater numbers, a better chance to fight back and since this is taking place at the very end of their little festival, what better what to bring up morale than, for one grand day, actually kick someone's sorry butt, even if they gotta die!"

"And I ask who's gonna teach the regular folks how to fight? They got a festival goin' on, and most don't wanna fight unless they got an obligation to," the Barkeep chimed in.

"Teachin' 'em how to defend themselves is good as a last resort, but we need an actual army to help us out."

"As a matter of fact, I will." Deadpool said, matter of factly. "Look, just because I like to talk a lot doesn't mean I'm stupid! I'm a mercenary and an Avenger and being Avenger means you're in the big leagues!"

"Besides, let me ask you something - if you had the chance to finally stand up and fight alongside your heroes, would you? Don't give me that 'I gotta protect the innocent people here' crap - I've seen New Yorkers get angry and chase off supervillains when their favorite hero gets overwhelmed in battle. Doesn't happen to me, but semantics!"

[forcegalactic]

"Not me. Not without the Force Galactic."

Other people, maybe. Most townspeople on Mars opted to stay in their homes when danger was afoot.

"Won't stop you from makin' a militia."

[unalive_them]

"BRB starting a militia!"

And with that, Deadpool heads for the door, then stops.

"Oh, and a friendly reminder: someone tries to stop me, they get to be the training dummy!"

Aaaaaaaand he's out.
