Town Meeting

Town Meeting

With the recent events that have transpired in regards to Young Bill's plan to starve out the Forest Talkers — the eco-terrorist group that has been hounding him and leaving macabre scenes all over the Lakeside area, Interlopers have called a town meeting to discuss what to do on this.

Rather than playing out the Town Meeting, like with the Darkwalker's second attack, consider this post an OOC post of that meeting, for players to share their character's thoughts and feelings on the situation — along with the best approach in regards to Young Bill's proposal.

Players are free to thread out scenes from the Town Meeting in their own event toplevels/open posts if they wish to do so — but this is more of a quick catchall on character's thoughts that's more accessible to everyone — and players can have their characters +1 ideas they agree with!

Character Thoughts/Ideas:
— This place certainly makes it difficult, but nonetheless, the Doctor continues to try and hold true to being a defender, to helping all wherever and whenever he can. He can be ruthless at times only when absolutely necessary, but he wields compassion and empathy and understanding around as easily as others might wield weapons. He prefers thinking through all potential scenarios, trying everything first before risking an all-out war.

— Concrete thoughts: He's worried, compassionate, and concerned for those people and creatures brutalized, first and foremost. He empathizes with Young Bill's plight (while also harboring a healthy amount of withheld trust), he's certainly very worried about his fellow Interlopers, but he wouldn't be the Doctor if he didn't consider what's driving the Forest Talkers, what fears they might hold, what violence they've chosen to wield as a result of that fear (or alternately if it's just straight up sadism with no underlying fears, that's another matter entirely). They may be beyond helping or listening, but he'll still try.

— Actions: The Doctor would advocate for dialogue and open communication, a way to inch towards "we're in this together," and if that ultimately can't be achieved — then other things would need to be considered. He will be staking out caches and lingering near them rather than stealing caches, attempting to offer trades and speaking to them. Though the Forest Talkers won't say much to him and mostly only listen, I did receive guidance from our lovely mod that the Doctor can encounter one of the younger teenaged Forest Talkers and hear a brief amount of dialogue from them. It's his goal to try and talk first, so even though he won't get much out of them, he'll call this a win for now. If anyone wants to be involved when he has this encounter, hit me up! He will ultimately get shot at (and the bullet will miss) or the teenage Forest Talker might just take the cache & run (haven't decided) but if anyone would like to be involved during this encounter, hit me up!
