Do new people always come in batches like this? It doesn't seem like anyone's really been here long enough to notice a pattern. A lot of- relatives showed up, recently. Pretty odd coincidence, I think.

[He looks... frustrated. Everyone he'd spoken to so far had only been around for a few months - tops. There's something suspicious about the whole thing, and he's trying to figure it out. After a moment he sighs, expression changing for the following announcement.]

Some of us have been doing research since we got here, and we're looking to start exploring the abandoned city for more information. We'll be meeting up to make arrangements this week on floor six of communal housing, if that sounds like something you'd be interested in and can defend yourself, feel free to stop by.

[Ed will give the specific time and date for this log, but we don't have a specific one set up OOC - probably July 10th, after the festival excitement has calmed down. Once again, if your character would crash without an invitation they are welcome to show up on their own without knowing someone on Floor Six or replying to this post.

Characters who can't defend themselves are welcome to join for the research aspect, or try to lie their way into the exploration part.

If you need an excuse to have an IC reason, feel free to poke Ed here or whatever.
Also please note, Ed's a CRAU so appears different than in canon: more info here on that!
Any questions? Hit me up on plurk or PM Ed's journal:

Yeah, would be disappointing if it was really just an old tourist trap. "See the world's largest ball of string here!"

[Still the possibility of exploring the abandoned city sounded interesting. It could have a lot of answers]

I'd like join this expedition if you are still looking for people.

[Ed nearly rolls his eyes at that, but he's smirking. How Lyle of a response.]

Wouldn't turn you down, either way.

[That might imply they were closer than they actually were before, not that he'd turn down the previous Lyle either - annoying as he could be, they had done a few missions together. He hadn't really put a cap on the number of people allowed to come to this thing, but he knows he can trust some familiar faces so they would be getting priority in his opinion.]

[At least it was a response that sounded like him. He'd hate to not sound like himself. Good thing he's not stupid enough to actually mess things up and put that sign there]

Great. Then I'll tag along. And I'll be at the meeting too.

Sounds like a plan.

Well, I know this is your party so to speak, but should I bring anything or do you need any help with this?

[Since he was just kind of wandering in on this shindig, he should at least offer]

[Only because he offered, and is someone Ed is more comfortable with than he rightly should be. He wouldn't normally ask strangers for favors, but it could be easy to forget these people don't remember him, like he remembers them.]

If you can think of a favorite snack to chip in, that'll be great. I'm starting to think we'll have more people than food at this thing.

[Considering he remembers a Lyle who is slightly different than this one? Possibly shouldn't be as comfortable with him. But Lyle was sincere in the offer help or bring something]

Will do. I'll come up with something. I'll hazard a guess probably not crisps since those seem to be the go to for snacks.

[He asked that Lyle to put on a fake mustache and fight Bowser, and that Lyle was consistently an ass to him. He figures this one can handle a bag of pretzels or something.]

If you can think of something unique, it might be the party favorite.

[We're still using the term party loosely here.]

[That... would have really confused Lyle if he had known that Ed had done something like that. He wouldn't have even gotten the reference. But yes, he can handle a bag of pretzels or something like that]

I'll look to see. Don't know if they will have anything even remotely resembling something I'd find in Ireland, but worth a shot. Worst thing that happens is that I have to get something else.

[Well, there were worse, but very unlikely to happen]

[To be fair, Ed didn't get the reference either. He just had what the lunatics were spouting on the network to go by. TVs don't exactly exist yet in his world, nevermind Nintendo games.]

Yeah... I think they might have- something similar from a different world, at least. So far the food has been kind of normal.

[Considering his scope of reference is murdering monster crabs for dinner.... Just don't bring anything crab related, and we're good.]

You might want to make sure it's safe for human consumption... Not everyone here is- able to digest the same stuff, and I don't want people getting sick, either.

[This is what he gets for living with Garrus.]

I'll take a look and see what they have.

[It was worth a shot and he normally didn't go looking around for junk food so that could be an interesting experience. Potentially weird food from all over.

At the comment though, he does snicker]

Darn, I was really planning on trying to find something no one could eat. I guess I will have to find something we can now.

[Kidding! Though he is now tempted to try and find something like rock candy or bubble gum that looks like coal... only because he said it]

Edited 2017-07-18 03:59 (UTC)

[He's used to Lyle teasing him enough that the snicker just gets a look. The kind of look that implies he was done with Lyle's bull shit before he even met him, even if he's hiding a smirk after.]

You better not show up with anything weird, just because I told you not to.

[That would not surprise him in the least.]

I'm not going to.

[Well, at least not the only thing. He'd bring something "weird" and then something else that was normal, but he doesn't have to say that part]

Trust me.

[Might be the wrong thing to say]

[About as far as he can throw you, Lyle. Look at how impressed he is.]

You bring anything that makes people sick, you'll be eating it.

[Oh, so impressed. He can see that...]

I'm not going to bring anything that will make people sick. What kind of a lunatic do you take me for?

[He made a face at that, as if trying to figure out how to respond to that statement. "Trust me" and Lyle had never really gone together in the past, so it was a mostly impulsive response.

Different Lyle, and every different version he'd met in the past had variations, no matter who they were.]

I didn't mean intentionally-

[A breath, more sullen now.]

Nevermind...

[Ed is going to stop just short of apologizing, though. If only because it might just come off weird at this point.]

[Well, Lyle didn't usually apologize either unless he was really in the wrong either so he's not really too concerned by that. He waved his hand, literally waving it off]

Not going to bring anything that will make people sick. Don't worry about your party.

[He might look relieved at that response, he really didn't want to start things off on the wrong foot, and this was still new.]

Yeah... thanks.

See you then!

Right.
