The morning finally came. Roxas was groggy for the first bit of it. But the smell of breakfast had a way of energizing just about anyone. So by the time Roxas was eating a doughnut and drinking a glass of OJ, he was pretty well awake and feeling better. He listened for a little bit as others conversed around him. They were also introduced to Vernon, who was the person that was absent from yesterday's meeting. Which meant that everyone was here, exactly what Roxas was hoping for.

Goldlewis and Vernon were getting caught up on events, with Benedict joining in the conversation as well. And Midna offered some suggestions of her own, but ones that weren't the same as the ones she had yesterday. It was here that Roxas figured he should probably interject. He gulped down the last bit of his OJ and cleared his throat, [color=Gold]"Personally, I think you had the right idea yesterday, Midna."[/color] he told her in reference to her Mercenary suggestion from the last meeting.

[color=Gold]"It gives me an idea of my own, actually."[/color] he said, clearing his throat a bit louder to make himself heard, [color=Gold]"Benedict is right, we have to walk on eggshells around Psych-OSF and others. That's why..."[/color] he considered his words, [color=Gold]"That's why instead of trying to find a foothold, we should just [i]make one[/i] ourselves."[/color] he hoped the comparison made sense, and then looked over in Midna's direction.

[color=Gold]"Remember what you said yesterday? I say we go with [i]that plan[/i]. Instead of trying to stress ourselves over allying with the factions, we should just become one of our own. That way we can do things our way and not have to restrict ourselves to whatever red tape the other factions would likely weigh us down with."[/color] after a brief pause he continued, [color=Gold]"Though maybe calling ourselves mercenaries would be a bit much. Instead what if we become like those genius detectives in mystery novels? The kind who can take down the criminal organization because he isn't weighed down by the restrictions or regulations that the police operate under?"[/color]

He rubbed his chin in thought, [color=Gold]"Huh, you know a 'detective' might be easier for people to trust than a 'mercenary'. Since a detective can be someone who will help you out with your case no matter how big or small it is. People might, I dunno, relate to it?"[/color] and as he spoke another idea came to him, [color=Gold]"And helping people would help us establish relations and connections we could potentially tap too, right?"[/color] He glanced around to gauge reactions or responses.
