[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.

Re: Of Hera, Pandemonium, Garland and the upcoming NPC Meeting

Yes. It is quite clear, he will insist on the cycle resuming as it has, regardless of how we confront the Calamity.

[Which made it a more tractable problem, in Tazendra's mind. Anything that could be solved by assembling one's forces and striking could be given to a strategist to figure out the best plan. The Calamity was more difficult, as it was not obvious that it could be fought, or should be.]

[Tazendra was competent enough at research, especially as it came to magic, but her heart was far more into solving problems with one big battle.]

So which is the priority, then?

We can't defeat the Calamity without eliminating the potential cycle-reset, and vice versa.

[It's enough to make anyone scowl, but the situation has never sat well on Sephiroth's conscience right from the beginning.]

So we split up. Some of us have the intellect to deal with delicate matters of magic and science, some are better at outright fight.

[His tone is unbothered. It's so simple. When there is a problem, Ales does not hesitate to find a way to deal with it. When he had attempted to overthrow Polokus, he had men devoted to stopping Rayman and men devoted to building his air fortress.]

I'm most certain that we'll be able to play with our strengths.

[If it wasn't so blunt and obvious, Sephiroth might have taken offense to Ales' interjection; he's hardly only a meathead even if it is true that he lacks much in terms of the experiences of other, in order to be able to apply any solid theories to the delicacies of saving the World in this instance.

It stings, to think he might consider himself to be somewhat less, as a result, but he swallows it. He knows it's never been about only him being the Hero but he's been made aware recently that really might be one of his desires.]

I'm starting to believe what someone else once suggested to me; that it's not necessarily going to boil down to a fight.

[fearlessherosheart]

I was about to suggest the same thing. Dividing our forces, that is, not that it might not come down to a flight.

[She really hoped it did, but the fate of multiple worlds, including her own, meant that Tazendra would live with her disappointment.]

[unyieldingspirit]

Assign the people to the tasks they're best suited to, in other words. So we could, potentially, begin addressing both at the same time. I'd think we should start with keeping Garland busy, though.
