Meeting of the Minds

[breakfastmetaphors]

Who: Everyone who chooses to participate
Where: Breakneck Cay
When: December 5th
What: A summit to get down to business and get this situation sorted out, L-Elf-style
Warnings: Possible violence?
Style: Any
Status: Open

Upon arriving on Breakneck Cay, if you can navigate the shoals safely and find safe mooring, you'll notice that the beach is more or less abandoned unless you count the countless shipwrecks an snarled piles of debris strewn across the shore. If you approach the jungle, you'll notice a makeshift sign pointing towards a path leading into the trees. There's a lengthy note tacked to it with a detailed map, an exhaustive list of rules and etiquette for participating in a military summit, and probably more if anyone actually got past the part with the map.

The meeting is to be held in a strangely silent clearing. Upon arriving, you'll find L-Elf sitting on the huge stone in the center, fast asleep. It's immediately obvious that this is not a social occasion or it at least wasn't planned by someone with any idea how to make guests feel comfortable. There's nowhere to sit except on the ground and definitely no refreshments. It might be a good idea to send someone back to the ship to pick something up if you want to make it through this thing.

[Robin raises her eyebrow, but leaves it alone.]

It's very similar to my own, and yet immensely different. I don't know that I could choose one over the other.

[And her intention is to find a way not to have to. Somehow.]

Some have a hard time adapting to the lifestyle. It took me years to accept my own fate. You seem fortunate.

[booyaka_boom]

Hmm. But I guess, you have really important people here that you care about and I dunno about you, but I just wanna be where my loved ones are.

*Selphie smiles at Robin, then looks for a place for them to sit and put down the bags full of refreshments*

Well... I don't really know what my fate is so I don't know if I'd accept it or not!

[thetruehistorian]

[She giggles.]

I suppose that's true, when looking at the concept of fate from a certain perspective. What did you do before coming here? Were you a student?

[booyaka_boom]

Me? No, I was a Seed - a mercenary soldier. I wanted to become an Instructor, so that I can teach all the student cadets!

*Selphie smiles widely at Robin, clearly rather pleased with herself*

What did you do? Be a pirate?

[thetruehistorian]

Quite a bit more, actually, but it's a lot to try and fit on a wanted poster. Most people only care about the number of zeroes anyway, so piracy is as good a crime as any.

What was your specialty as a soldier?

[booyaka_boom]

You mean you just went around doing a bunch of crimes?

*Selphie just stares at Robin with a mixture of shock and admiration. Shock, because Selphie is such a law abiding citizen. At least, most of the time, back home. And admiration because if this is true, then that's pretty exciting*

Well, I use nunchaku as my weapons, and I use all kinds of magic. Back home, I could also summon these things - Guardian Forces - I guess like...spirit monsters, and they could fight for me too. It's a shame I can do it here cause some of them were pretty awesome!
