[The tables and chairs are set. Dinner and dessert is laid out. There is no reason no one should be absent, Ales tells himself. A table is set aside with a large box beside it - the stage where Ales will announce the beginning of the meeting.

Once the room is full and everyone has sat down with their meal, he turns on his portable hacking computer, projecting a pale blue screen on the far wall. He flicks it off and on a few times.]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, may I have your attention please!

[He jumps onto the box, then onto the table. He then faces the audience with his hands held up and suppressing the reflex to grin broadly.]

With the Calamity ever looming closer, there is not much time left for our Heroes to act! A dark, ancient presence has long loomed over this world, and it is up to us to decide whether we will let it do as it pleases, throwing the entire land into chaos, or to stand up to the destructive force that has plagued Crystallis for Eons? With the knowledge we have found and been given, will finally succeed where others have failed? Are we better than what others believe us to be?

[A pause. Even though he has long ago switched his role from guide to actual hero, he still can't help but start off a gathering as if it were a story.]

The Hero of Light Roundtable will now begin! Please, go ahead and bring up points of discussion.

Presumed, but not likely. [He sighs, not really wanting to say much on it in order to protect Mograma, but-] Unless there's an actual body, I wouldn't put it past Kalki to lay low until the last possible moment.

That said, it might be a good idea to bring the globe--if we can make sure not to lose it mid-transport.

[Sephiroth doesn't make any attempt to hide the scowl as the Sage is mentioned.]

I wouldn't go so far, with regards to the Sage. He too has played with us similarly to how Narasimha has done. Just that he seems to be more knowledgeable, that he seems to have the answers does not necessarily mean that it's the case.

[Putting to one side the sticky fact about his stained glass window being the only one left at that Temple in Mysidia. The silver-haired hero has had a chip on his shoulder about the Sage ever since the vision that he wasn't involved in, yet featured for so many in all the same.]

Given Mograma's assistance to finally exorcise the spirit of his long-dead King, it would be easy now to consider him an ally. I think we still need to be cautious until it's made clear what his particular function as an Avatar really is. He's never indicated that he's even aware of his role as such, much like Varaha, as far as I recall.

Again, that doesn't mean that the opposite is not the case. If so, that might well indicate some change in how the Calamity wants to interact with us.

[He nods along his agreement to Ales and Ira's points as well, yet thinking to that particular globe they refer he's not sure that would be able to transport it so easily.]

Or just employ someone else to take a head count at that location, on said globe, while we're present at that meeting.

I'm not sure it would be such a good idea, to have whichever-Avatar's might be present suddenly aware within a meeting to plan the potential end-of-days. It might urge the Calamity itself to react in some way which might not be in our interests.

... I can keep a close eye on the globe during the meeting.

[Looking towards Sephiroth, she nodded once.] I have Psychic available to me, and could easily send telepathic messages on any new developments.

[Yet it was obvious that there was something else on her mind, though she dare not speak it lest the hunch she felt was right. Thus, telepathically she informs Ales, Sephiroth:]

However, it may be hard to discern how many Avatars are in attendance with the majority of our own number attending as well. Not to mention how many remain in Crystal Stasis.

[dammit_flynn]

I can probably give a hand with that if you need another guard or rather Repede is good at tracking in general. He's a good guard dog if you need an extra pair of eyes. He's also quick to deliver messages of telepathic messages don't work.

[ Yuri spoke up after a while listening to the conversation. He can't say he trusts any of the Avatars but it is true that some have been more helpful than others. He can't discredit them. ]
