Time: Feb 23rd, 2057 - Morning
Interaction(s): All members in the room
[hr]Cerise was in the garden taking care of the plants there while Ajax, Erik, and Poppy were talking with the Provisional Government agents. Soft gentle humming emanated from within her mouth as she slowly moved through the garden, making sure all the plants were healthy and in good conditions. She held a notebook and a pen, taking thorough and concise notes as she inspected each plant. It wasn't a quick process, and some might even saw it as boringly tedious. Fortunately, she had always been quite fond and curious of plant lives in general, and thus were able to enjoy the process that she volunteered to do almost daily.

[color=#DE3163]"And that's all accounted for. I'm so glad you're all healthy and well today too."[/color] She smiled gently as she spoke, finishing her inspection of the plants. At around the same time, the calls for everyone to gather inside the Strategy Room were made. [color=#DE3163]"Oh. Looks like I've got to go now. I'll see you guys again soon. Bye~"[/color] She then started skipping briskly toward the entrance of the garden, where she took off the gardening boots and exchanged them with her own shoes. From there she continued to head to the Strategy Room. Passing through her and Akaia's room, she saw that Akaia's crow Licorice was perching on its stand, making her enter the room instead. [color=#DE3163]"Licorice! When did you get back?"[/color] Smiling wide at the crow, Cerise held her right hand up as she stood beside the stand, and the crow then hopped over from its stand to the back of the hand. [color=#DE3163]"If you're here all relaxed and content, then that means Akaia is fine and should be back soon as well. Hehe, finally. I was wondering when she'll be back. Anyway, you're back just in time. Let's go, everyone's called to the Strategy Room~"[/color]

Now with Licorice perching on her right hand, Cerise left her room and promptly entered the Strategy Room. [color=#DE3163]"Good morning!"[/color] She immediately exclaimed in greeting upon entering with a big smile on her face. [color=#DE3163]"Hope everyone's doing fine today. Oh, and Akaia should be with us soon. Right Licorice?"[/color] She giggled briefly, patting Licorice's head gently a few times with two fingers. [color=#DE3163]"So, what are we here to talk about? Any good news?"[/color] She then walked over to the table with the map, listening quietly as Erik explained about the job offered to them by the Provisional Government.

[color=#DE3163]"Nobody here is going to go 'bloodlusty' on you, Lysandra."[/color] She giggled softly, finding Lysandra's choice of words funny. [color=#DE3163]"That said, yes, obviously we should do this. The incentives aside, the things going on about Mystles drying up recently is a really big concern for just about everyone. If we can contribute to finding out reasons and solutions for this problem, then there's just no reason to not do it. Also, the map's just fine. Don't pull big brother's leg [b]too[/b] much, okay Lysandra? Hehe~"[/color] Then, while Lysandra worked on the telescope, Cerise analyzed the map to mentally check the notes and markers added to the map and crosschecking the information with the ones she and Akaia had put on to the diorama in their room. As the conversation then moved to the presence of lost within the 'mission area', she turned away from the map to join in on the discussion.

[color=#DE3163]"The Ruined City is always full of the typical Lost, so no surprise there. Over the years, their numbers just keep on growing because... Well, you all know why. Still, their senses aren't even that sharp, so it's always been easy to stay hidden from them while scavenging or scouting in the area. And if we ended up having to fight. Well... With all of us here, I'm sure we'll do just fine! We just have to watch each other's backs as always. So yes,"[/color] She smiled wide and made a thumb up sign with her left hand as she finished her words. [color=#DE3163]"I suppose I'm ready if we're going to 'roll', hehe~"[/color]
