Meeting - How To Deal With Winter Without Blaming The Starks

WHO: Kate Kelly
WHERE: The Inn/Pub's main room
WHEN: 2st December
OPEN TO: E V E R Y O N E not going on science/hunt quest. Hunt a monster, miss a meeting <.<
WARNINGS: TBA as needed
STATUS: Open!




For the past few days, Kate has been spreading the word that there'll be a meeting after lunch today. The previous meetings had been in reaction to something, and to a certain extent, this one is no different. But Kate wants to try something else: planning. Planning on how to deal with the coming months when the weather will only get worse. How to deal with blizzards, storms. How to deal with problems hopefully before they arise.

And, maybe, it makes her feel better doing this. Organising something, now that her comrade-in-practical-arms (Mark Watney) has left her to go trek after a monster. Far, far more practical than having hysterics. Which she won't admit to having to anyone but her cat and Benedict.

(Her tea that night might have been spiked with a dash of whiskey to insure that she slept.)

Today, the weather is cold. There is snow on the ground, and the sun isn't coming out to play. It is the kind of day where people linger over their meals in the warmth of the Inn anyway, seats near the fireplace taken quickly. Towards the end, Kate starts to organise for the meeting. One of the smaller tables is tipped over its side so Ivan has something to write on to take the minutes, and Kate hands him some pieces of precious chalk.

Then she stands on a chair and taps a spoon against a tiny saucepan in lieu of a bell.

"Attention, please! I call this meeting to order. So much as we ever get order. Winter's not goin' away in a hurry, so before we all run into trouble, we're goin' t'come up with some ideas and share knowledge. Not all of us come from the same world, let alone the same environment. If it seems obvious to you, say it anyway, because it might not be to others. Everyone got that? Good."

With that, she steps off the chair and sits on it.

Meeting's begun.


[OOC: Like our other meetings, set-up is mingle and threadjackable unless otherwise specified. Please set up your own heading posts for various topics that your characters would bring up for some organisation, but otherwise, have fun!]

The dog seems to be quite firm on the importance continued scritching, bumping his muzzle upwards whenever Nerys slows her attentions. Such as right now, when her train of thought is less on dog whispering and more on the conversation at hand. In that way, it's very like a targ, just less, well, bitey.

"Maybe the closest portion thing is a good idea, means there's not confusion over who does what," she agrees, smiling at Kate. "Though if anyone's not physically able to look after their part, or is away on an expedition or hunting, maybe some people can volunteer to keep a general eye out."

That's one thing, she realises all of a sudden when thinking about capability: there have been no children arriving here. Everyone is at least a teenager, if not older, though it's not as if Nerys is complaining; she certainly wouldn't want to subject a child to this. It's a piece of information she decides she'll file away for a different conversation. This one's more pertinent anyway.
