You say you're wrong, you're wrong

[viced]

WHO: EVERYONE
WHERE: City Hall
WHEN: 7:00 PM, EST
WARNINGS: RAMPANT CHAOS
SUMMARY: This is the townhall meeting, where everyone can come and show up, and wave accusations and shout to their little heart's content. They can also discuss skrull accusations in a calm manner if they really want.
FORMAT: Tagger's choice!



[ And the large room where the City Council met was open for business. The walls were lined with seats, there were rows and rows of seats, nice lighting, and even a couple tankards of coffee open for business. Look, he wasn't a complete monster! There was security, but they remained silent and observed, instructed only to interfere if things were escalating to violence, and only then. Most of the Mayor's staff were already there before people started to arrive, and they were sitting in most of the seats reserved for the City council. There wasn't music, but it would be a good half hour to forty five minutes before the actual proceedings got started.

When they did, it was all about an open forum. ]

[ooc; we're going to get the log up early! The plan is for everyone to go ahead and have fun tagging, and the ooc post will be up later tonight! ♥ ]

It would make sense.

[He takes a minute to look at her, as though it would help. Then he relaxes.]

But the very fact you're worrying about it puts me at considerable ease.

[wrong_sometimes]

Really? Because this would be, like, the best cover act ever.

[goryteller]

I can feel your past Cassie. It feels the same. I know it's you.

[Of course, he knows little about the power dampening. Whatever.]

But if you were, hypothetically, a green alien taking my friend's shape, I would make it first duty to find the real you. My first duty.

[wrong_sometimes]

Thanks.

[She impulsively gives him a kiss on the cheek, blushing as she mutters.]

Idiot. Probably get yourself killed doing it.

[goryteller]

[With all his oblivious, with all his denial, Katurian doesn't see this coming. He freezes at the kiss.]

Cassie, I don't--

[Oh god.]

I don't think--

[What are words again?]

That-- That isn't what I meant.

[wrong_sometimes]

[ShitShitShit.]

I'm sorry. I-

[What the hell did she just do? Seriously, what was she thinking?]

I won't do it again.

[goryteller]

I care about you like a little sister. R-Right? [Oh god, he's wrapping his head around all of this. Oh god, Cassie, he's so sorry. ] I'm twenty-six.

[wrong_sometimes]

Right - right - of course. I mean, I didn't think...

[Like at all, she didn't think at all, she knew it was stupid, it was dumb, and she shouldn't have.

God, she was so embarrassed. Mortified.]

I get it, no problem.

[She's just going to crawl in a hold and DIE now.]

[goryteller]

Good. Good.

[He is not equipped. He resumes picking at his coffee sleeve with an increased ferocity.]

Because I like being your friend. I like being your friend and I don't want-- I don't want to give you or-- or anyone else the wrong idea. I don't want that.

[wrong_sometimes]

It's okay, really. I get it, no problem.

[She said that already.]

It's okay.

[That, too.]

I'm... gonna go get some more coffee, so I'm... gonna go.

[And with that she walks off, eventually taking a seat near Katurian, but not next to him again. Because she? Is an idiot.]

[goryteller]

[Cassie. He throws worried looks to her for the rest of the evening.]
