Who: Anyone invested in the Dorchacht Dilemma or planning to visit Dorchacht through the event.
When: Septeril 1st, late evening
Where: The Sly Seadog
What: Planning
Warnings: Who the eff knows



[ It was getting late in the evening, but it was crucial to meet up. Daenerys – with the help of some more technologically savvy people – offered invitations to anyone who seemed interested in the affair with Dorchacht.

They meet at the Sly Seadog: a run-down little dive of a tavern, found along a narrow back-alley in the harbour, frequented by sailors, welcoming to Monsters and humans alike. The crowd is dense for this early in the "night", but still a few drunkards pawning off their last bit of money for a little bit more booze.

It was not up to a standard she would prefer, but it's something and it's relatively quiet. Three long tables can fit enough people for their meeting – and there's some standing room at the bar. Time to get down to business, right?

Feel free to top level, make points, argue, etc. ]

I... see. [ It feels almost as if it was purely an agreement. It was hard to surmise that given the Coven witches who acted like old married couple. The arrangement of it all feels dubious, but they... have a choice, do they not? Dany loses some of the tension in her gaze. ] Then, if it is as you suggest, it may be best. You are correct.

[ A+ you got her to agree on the concept. ]

I have my reservations about such a tether – something magical that seems more than just a spoken agreement between two parties, but.. so long as it can be broken, it would be a security we can not overlook.

[Yuya rubs the back of neck.] Yeah, I wasn't really in the rush to get one either... but it sounds like the kind of thing we can't avoid forever, especially now. I saw someone asking about temporary bonds before, so I'm sure it's breakable if it doesn't work out.

[ She nods, at least that clears things up. ]

...And the most beneficial is with a Witch, correct?

[ Because she needs IC confirmation because she was quick to zip out of the Looking Glass House upon arriving, oops. ]

[hippocarnival]

Right. [Yuya nods in return. He's had this emphasized in magic classes.] Because Witches need to drain magic and monsters need to take it in, so they work best together.

I see. [ It presents a problem, as she still has a little bit of trust issues. The only person she truly trusts is Jorah, another "monster". She stays quiet, weighing the choice. ] Then... we should ensure people become bonded before leaving.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya perks up a little at his suggestion having merit.]

Yeah. There's a spell for it, so maybe the day before we can get everyone who wants to go in one place and match up if they don't have one.

[That requires people admitting they don't have one... but hopefully the warning will be taken seriously. And Yuya will be there, because he can offer that much as a witch.]

[ For the first time, there's a genuine smile on her face. Even if she has to ease herself into the idea... if someone else is offering their experience and faith, she has to as well. ]

Would you like to help organize that...? I do not wish to add any responsibility upon those who do not wish for it.

[hippocarnival]

Sure! [He has an idea of a few NPCs he can ask, scine he arrived in the middle of all that bonding and wedding chaos.] I'll ask around the coven tomorrow, and get someone who can help and someplace easy to find so we can do this. And an announcement...?

[Probably just a quick announcement is enough. He assumes most people who have been here longer than they have know more about how important bonding is.]

[freeing]

That sounds well enough. [ #teamwork There's an encouraging smile his way, one that will hopefully inspire confidence in himself. ] Please let me know if you need assistance.
