Preparations for a Fierce Battle

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?

"Times like this, we can forget about what we've won." How would he handle these moments, at Torchwood? Is it so different for a kid? It should be, she should be able to step away and be safe. She's right.

"Nobody in this room can tell you what the right thing to do is. If I can offer some advice, though? It might be something that I do, myself?"

"Get out of here. Airship trip. Head up to the Lost Continent, Village of Santa Claus. Take in the sights, sure, but go and look at the people. Look at how many people are still alive, because of what you did." Jack pokes a finger into Nanami's shoulder. "You. Went right in there with us to a bunch of people who could have attacked us. And they are alive now because of you. I promise, what you did in Nabila City makes all the difference, to every single one of them."

"If that's enough? If you can look at that and be happy with what you've accomplished? Then you've done enough. And none of us can ask more of you."

"Maybe I'll do that." Nanami said. All of this... being an adult seemed like more work than she'd expected. No wonder so many people she knew didn't bother.

And if she decided that it was enough, she could just... stay. They'd protected the town after all, so it would stay safe for longer.
