PLOT STUFF! Calling all Espresso Yourself Employees/Tenants!

[dead_black_eyes]

Hey! This is Lexil, L's player. As if the journal didn't make that fairly obvious but

I need some input from those of you who play Espresso Yourself employees or people who sometimes sleep in the cots upstairs, because in early August, a certain machine will be stolen from Thundercorps, and need a Numbered-oriented place to be safely stored. It's likely that Espresso Yourself will be the establishment that gets to host this incredible liability honorable and badass token of resistance, but before this, L will approach your character and honestly say that he's worried about storing the machine, but that the coffee shop's spacious basement is a logical choice considering heightened security, and he feels it's important to step up during times of trouble and need.

To keep things running pretty smoothly, I just would like this post to serve as a record of how that little talk will go, since it's simple enough and can be handwaved (though I'm open to threading this if anyone really wants to!) Basically, when your character is approached and told about the machine, do they:

-Support storage of the device 100%?
-Support storage of the device with some misgivings?
-Remain completely neutral on the subject?
-Initially oppose storage of the machine but remain flexible to persuasion?
-Utterly oppose storage of the machine?
-Slap L with a fish idk

Thanks!

Tony will echo L's concerns with storing something like that that not only paints a HUGE TARGET ON EVERYONE again, a huger target, so many targets, but also because they don't know what it does. Even so, he'll be willing to go with it because he's all about helping the numbered folks.

I mean it's not like they aren't constantly at threat from all sides anyway so why the hell not.

L ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?

Hopefully, we are only storing it until it finishes college, gets its own place, and buys its own insurance.

Too bad it's majoring in Drama.

Damn it all.

Alexi would probably resist the idea at first because he's already worried enough about L making himself a target, but he can be convinced if proper defense plans are put into place.

[dead_black_eyes]

Hopefully Alexi doesn't mind being a part of those defense plans, since L fully intends to take him up on his offer to help protect his shop. ;;

That was so solid of him, jafsrkfhavea.

[saviorsoul]

He would kind of expect that. XD

Torin will be for storing the thing there provided they've got some sort of contingency plan of defense in place--he'd rather have it where they can keep an eye on it.

He will also volunteer to stay there full-time and serve as a sort of guard. On an unrelated note, he hopes that the bigger sword he ordered off of eBay gets there soon. Letter openers just aren't cutting it anymore.

Awwww Torin is so stinking adorable. I cannot even.

Good to know! L will feel a lot better about agreeing to it knowing that Torin is decently OK with it. :)

[radiantchicken]

Being told he's an adorable parrot all his life has clearly rubbed off!

Hey, keeping this thing is the bravest possible thing they could do! And this is a parrot who is a reincarnated anthropomorphic personification of bravery. |D Torin can also help L out if he needs to convince anyone, too.

Amy would be worried but go along with it out of a desire to not rock the boat.

She'd also tell Saretha about it, if that's alright?

[dead_black_eyes]

If she would tell, then she must tell! :) Thanks for chiming in with Amy's reaction.

Richard would think it was a ridiculous idea but be open to persuasion on the subject. It wouldn't be easy though.

[dead_black_eyes]

L really deserves all the votes of confidence after Richard and Tony both watched how he handled some silly porn, amiright?

He'll be reluctant himself, and be doggedly upfront about the fact that he sees no other option and can't have a machine no one knows anything about just floating around where they can't keep an eye on it. He will also do his very best to not seem so goddamn fragile because he has a way of doing that. Get it together, L.
