[There's a tense expression on the bookman's face as it appears on the video screen. His smile is gone for once, not a hint of his usual cheer on his features. This is serious. This is business. And even Lavi can manage that when he needs to.All right. Let's go over what we know. The streets aren't safe. There seem to be more of these things by the

Now we're talkin'!

Squads would be the best idea- it isn't a good idea to get mobbed by these things. Let's try keeping the ways to the library clear for whomever heads that way.

[weaponsofwords]

Agreed. There's something to be said for having a bit of reinforcement along with you.

[Lavi nods in agreement.] Sounds like a good plan. But then, I'd imagine you've probably got me in terms of strategy. Heh. Maybe if we can get some people together you can take point in that respect.

Especially when these guys seem to realize how beneficial it is for them to attack by packs.

We can't spread ourselves too thin, but we can pull something together. Most important is to get people to know where to go.

[weaponsofwords]

[Lavi nods in agreement.] Yeah. Definitely is. And getting people here safely if they need it.

[And then keeping them safe until this mess was sorted out.]

I think someone tried to organize something at the cathedral as well. Someone else suggested to go at least in pairs for patrol routes.

[weaponsofwords]

Cathedral would work too. It's a good stronghold. Library is set up to receive already though -- in terms of sleeping areas and supplies.

[Lavi nods.]

At least in pairs. These things are growing more and more numerous.

[Video]

[honourboy]

I see. In that case, the library might be the more suitable area. Are you at the library then?

Yes, we have to be extremely careful.

[Video]

[weaponsofwords]

I am. The study rooms are mostly set up to accommodate people for short terms.

[Another nod.] Always seems to be the story in this place.

Squads, huh. [Oh, there's a smirk crossing his face. One that reads as him liking this idea very much.]

I could deal with that.

[weaponsofwords]

[Lavi offers a grin too, though it's far from his usual cheery expressions.]

Glad to hear it. Sounds like there are a number of people who could. Think you can get to the library.

[Riku offers a nod.] I've seen greater hordes of enemies than this.

[He used to be able to "control" part of said horde; he'd know.]

[weaponsofwords]

Heh. Great. Experience is definitely welcome.

Front doors are mostly barricaded. The big wooden one isn't. Right now it's clear.

"While we still have them"--that sounds rather ominous, Lavi. [Lazlo chuckles quietly, however. If anything, he's good at keeping calm in the face of trouble. He couldn't have been a captain otherwise.]

Do you need anything for the library if you happen to end up with extra guests? I'm sure I can bring by blankets or anything else.

[He pauses, adds,] I'd be happy to help with organising some squads or heading out to escort people, if need be.

[weaponsofwords]

[Lavi laughs a bit at that.] Think so? Heh! I guess it sort of is, looking at it. But hopefully we manage better than that.

Anything you have would be useful. Blankets. We've got some basic food supplies here too. It's been set up for new people to stay until they acclimate for a while.

[Now Lavi does grin and nods.] Glad I can count on you, Lazlo. I've heard a couple people willing to form a squad or two. The more the better.

(video)

[ninthforgiven]

[Lazlo cocks his head, smiles.] "Hopefully"? No, no, we will.

I can do that. I'm out and about anyhow, so I'll stop and see what I can find. [He nods decisively, and then smiles a bit wider.] Of course. We'll see about it, shall we?

(video)

[weaponsofwords]

[A grin.] Confident! I like it.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Just watch out for yourself out there.

[ser_vile]

During the tremors, Kanetsugu-san and I prepared some supplies out in the woods, near the river. Perhaps we can escape to that area.

[weaponsofwords]

[Lavi shakes his head slightly.] Outside seems harder to defend against things that are out there. And you have the added difficulties of the weather to contend with.

If the city is overrun, it'd be great to have that to fall back to. But for now, using the infrastructure we have as a defensible center of operations might be an easier choice.

[ser_vile]

A fair point, but I thought I would let you know all the same.

[weaponsofwords]

I appreciate it! It's good to know what all our resources are.

[A pause.] You on your own out there?
