There have been some developments; the Wraith’s face is more grim, her body more tense as she heads to the Temple for the meeting. Knowing that she has to deliver bad news has prompted her to write down her thoughts - and the notes for this are secured in a cloak pocket. Climbing the few steps to use a podium placed before the altars at the Temple, Wessex waits until it appears that all the stragglers are in before starting. WESSEX come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts unsex me here |

full moon rising on the waters of my soul Amun had scrambled to grab a notebook, a quill, and some ink when he'd heard Wessex had called a meeting. Making sure he arrived early, he set up a small table next to her. Bent over his journal, he scribbled furious notes, although at times he found himself glancing up at her, eyes wide with shock. Frowning at the implications of her words, he cleared his throat. "The early warning system you suggest. Would it only work against invaders? Or could we get something that also alerts us to natural threats and monsters, and gives us an advantage against them. Like that mud creature a couple years ago." He glanced at his hand, which had been crushed by the damage caused by the mud monster and only restored through the Voice's grace. amun

full moon rising on the waters of my soul As Oliver agreed to join the council, Amun gave a little cheer. "Welcome!" He gave the blacksmith a thumbs up. Then the potter returned his attention to Wessex. Shaking his head at her question, he grinned. "Probably not, just wanted to raise the possibility of something with a bit more utility." He bent his head back to his notebook to resume taking notes. Or at least that's what it looked like. It's a good thought, but if the old gods are looking to fortify the Greatwood against the Ascended, I'm not sure anyone will be convinced they'd be willing to do the same for the Hollowed Ground. He was careful to keep any hint of his thinking from his expression. amun

Every day's a challenge
But I always seem to get through
The teen was trying to keep himself unnoticed among the crowd as he listened to the Queen speak with clear authority. It was almost inspiring to hear and see. He looked around towards the others, listening to the exchange happening around him before he gulped and began to step forward himself to in front of the crowd momentarily. "...would it not be possible to combine some of those into one effort," he asked before looking up towards the sky. "We might need the help of the Voice to spread something like this throughout the entire Hollowed Grounds, but...at least for critical areas like the Sanctuary, would it be possible to set things up so that, when the alarms go off, the surrounding area is able to temporarily go dark so those that can fight in the dark are more able to?" He glanced off to the side for a moment, steadied his nerves, before looking back up. "If things can be set up so the sun can be blocked off when needed instead of all the time, we would be able to also work on bringing back the livability of this place for those whom have not...or cannot...become Ascended and live here." He was having to fight his nerves, nerves that wanted him to shut up and stay hidden, but...he felt this was important enough to speak up. He just hoped he didn't suggest something impossible.

BASTIEN Bastien always attended meetings of importance in the Hollowed Grounds, wanting to know exactly what was going on and when...but he'd never been on this side of it, a part of the council making the decisions (or at least, looking to do so to the population); it was odd and he tried to forget it as he listened to what Wessex had to say, sitting to the side with his sketchbook and making quick sketches of her speaking face as he did - it helped him to concentrate.
He did raise an eyebrow at the news of Oliver joining the council given what Wessex had said earlier, but did not speak on it; it was her council, after all, her calls to make. "We have plenty of food and drink for the time being and have always dealt well with shortages when they arrive. If this threat truly is looming over us, it seems only sensible to deal with that before the less urgent matters." That, and he found the idea of the alarm comforting; perhaps it could give him time to protect and prepare those he loved instead of losing them. Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space

Samuel Sam had not been sure what to expect from this meeting, his first since arriving back in the Grounds. Wessex once again as Queen wasn't a surprise, the woman always being the sort to take charge of wherever he was; who exactly was in her council drew a raised eyebrow, but it wasn't his place to say anything, just to listen.

HENRY I was waiting for something extraordinary
but as the years wasted on... Henry stood to the back of the crowd. Somewhere around, his family was also attending but, he had chosen to stay back. He looked up at his Queen where she stood at her podium and addressed the crowd. His thick brows furrowed in concentration but, occasionally, he glanced around at the other people around to see who was all there. When he finally noticed, off to his left, Sam, he raised his brows. But he didn't move towards him until Wessex was done officially speaking.
Reaching the ascended's side, Henry shuffled in beside him and gave him a small nudge with his elbow. "Sam," he says quietly, a greeting. He gave the other man a small nod. Before he could comment much on the choices presented, a familiar voice rang through the crowd. It was Belril, the boy he'd met in the fields. He had an interesting take on things but, Henry found himself leaning more towards one option. In order to keep the Hollowed Grounds and its residents, many of which Henry favored, safe, security was probably going to be the biggest priority in the coming months. Glancing over at Sam, he discreetly looked up and down the man's face. He was visibly stressed out. At least, to Henry, he was. This was all serious news for him since he didn't delve much in regional politics or religious disputes over what was right or what was wrong. "Don't worry, I'm sure the people are going to do what they can to protect this place," he murmured to Sam, his voice a soft rumble, "and everyone in it." His decision was not made lightly but, he remained quiet in the matter of concerns or questions. He was interested in what the outcome would be, though he was glad to help where he could no matter what it was. nothing ever did unless I caused it

Azrael They’re running a bit late for the meeting, but they arrive quickly – darting through the streets until they meld into the crowd that’s formed – sneaking through it all until they reach Bastien’s side – honeyed gaze lifting to find Wessex where she stands. And there’s a lot of information – some that they had missed but that they’d try to figure out through the context of everything else. Their father rumbles, mentions of threats and food and drink and shortages, their brows furrowing together as they consider what might be the cause of it.
They don’t really have anything to offer other than their help, and they flash Wessex a wide fanged smile from where they stand beside their father. “I want to help with whatever we decide to do.” They turn their attention to Bastien, almost as if asking if it were okay that they offer it. Regardless, their gaze ends up finding Wessex again. mind over matter the Wraith
