So much information, so quickly. In all honesty, save for the Ever Crisis itself it sounded like the usual machinations of humans, just dialed up to eleven. If this had been a job handed down to him from the Goddess of Light, they would have ignored most everything and gone to find the source of the Crisis in order to put a stop to it, but in respect to the people that were asking them for help Pit devoted his whole brain to retaining as much of it as possible. From the breakdown of the Ever Crisis, the structure of Midgar's military, the layout of the city itself, it's political climate, how to get around, rebel groups opposing the government, the consequences of being captured by the G-Men... 

The level of concentration on Pit's face was almost comical. [i]I really, really hope someone is taking notes,[/i] he thought.

If he were to put the situation simply - very, very simply - then he would say that everything about Midgar that they'd just gone over was related back to the Ever Crisis, and whatever happened in the city would either hinder or help the Seekers as they sorted the mess out. If only all they had to do was win people over to their side, rather than navigate the complex inner workings of government factions and PMCs.

Some of the Seekers had suggestions on what to tackle first, and how. Pit weighed them in his mind. The thought of joining up with one of the military segments to get information from them didn't feel quite right. Maybe it was the subterfuge aspect? He would gladly help out in the fight against the Ever Crisis, which they'd end up doing anyway if they enlisted, so he wasn't sure what his hang-up was. Maybe some small blow to his pride at going from commanding his own legion to being a foot soldier? Whatever it was, it was something he'd have to put aside for the sake of the mission at hand. Besides, the angel didn't have any other ideas besides the Seekers rolling out in one large force and looking into things themselves, same as Midna, and their were some flaws to that plan.

[color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"From the sound of it, if we got big enough that we'd be competing with Desporhado it doesn't sound like they'd let us get away with it easily. It'd probably end in a fight with them and weaken Midgar's defense,"[/color] he said, titled his head. He glanced at the (very cool but also slightly intimidating) cyborg ninja. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"But I guess fighting them'd be the goal for some of us."[/color]

Plus, as Goldlewis pointed out, they'd likely be branded outlaws if they did try and form their own faction as tempting as it was.

The general discussion and question and answer session was still in progress, but they made a brief tangent into introductions. It was only right, given they were joining hands with a new group. The cryptid came as a surprise.

[color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"Pit here, captain of the Goddess of Light's royal guard. Unfortunately I, uh... don't have a lot more to offer besides my fighting skills right [i]now[/i], ehehe..."[/color] he said, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. The movement transitioned into one hand tapping the golden laurel that rested on his head as he went on. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"If my connection to Skyworld was working, I'd be able to call in my own Centurion squads to help us out, especially if we were going to try and become an official group here. And Lady Palutena's clairvoyance would be able to pinpoint any Chimeras too. But..."[/color]

He shook his head, implying the complete radio silence he'd been experiencing for the rest of the group. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"Maybe the connection will come back while we're here, but, uh, anyway! Fighting skills. And you better believe I have plenty of 'em!"[/color]

He went on to describe much the same information he had at the Seeker's own meet and greet earlier, going over his current abilities briefly. His angelic senses were mentioned only for transparency's sake. He'd never been able to use it to pinpoint invisible enemies, and being able to tell a regular human from a psychic, an Underworld denizen, etc. probably wouldn't be much help here.

He did end with a confident note though, promising, [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"We came here to help, so that's what we're gonna do! In anyway we can."[/color]

Most of the information from the other Seekers had already been covered or demonstrated, so there were no real surprises except one - one that Pit normally wouldn't have paid much mind if it didn't make the hot feeling of shame start crawling up his neck. Not only did Geralt have a [i]wife[/i] but he also had a [i][b]daughter![/b][/i] He'd come so close from taking a father away from his family! The angel looked pointedly away from the Witcher for the remainder of the meeting, but committed Ciri's description to memory.

The talks had begun to wind down after that, not slowing down exactly but becoming more focused. Information continued to be exchanged even after Roxas and Bede slipped out of the room. One thing they noted that was surprising and important was the area's knowledge of spirit fusion. They'd have to be careful of rousing any suspicion, especially their fused members - and hopefully Benedict would come around and give them some advice for that. He shared Karin's sentiment about wanting to start off on the right foot in the city they'd be trying to save, so avoiding trouble would be important. The recommended move, and something the Seekers slowly seemed to be coming around on, was to join the fight as part of one of the military factions. Pit would suck it up and do it, if it meant he was helping people. 

So for which group to take on? Pit turned to Razputin. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow]"If your friends are part of Psychoff, then it's probably a good place to start!"[/color]
