how many times can "DANGA" be said? (open!!)
Who: everyone and their mothers!
When: May 27th - 31st, roughly
Where: the Clinic and its general area
Format: action or prose, whichever works!
What: DANGA, DANGA. Or, the Abyssal Ones have begun fighting, which means a plethora of people being injured or dying, and some Big Damn Heroes are needed up in this joint.
Warnings: General violence, ( Read more... )

[ The hug is unexpected but welcomed nonetheless. It's something she would do. She's not sure it's something he would. Nevertheless, Tonks returns the hug and adds to it.1 She makes an effort to not disrupt his posture too much as she returns the hug, squeezes and then let's him go. Her hand lingers on his backside a moment longer than necessary. She's no aware of it, however. ]
Should we set up some secondary locations in case this one is breached? We could set up a couple of portkeys for emergency transportation. You know this city better than I, what do you suggest?
[ Tonks is, had been, Mad-Eye's protege and you can't be around him for long without thinking about 'just in case' situations. Some could argue that Moody is a touch paranoid, and he is, but more often than not the old goat is correct. ]

[though not with as much completeness as she just did in two seconds of assessment. In spite of the sky falling around them, he feels that whisper of admiring warmth for her.]
Portkeys are a good idea, if we can persuade anyone to trust them. They don't need to be common knowledge as long as there's someone in each location who knows and can direct others. [candidates rattle through his head at once: Hermione, Merlin… not a coincidence perhaps it's people he wouldn't mind giving a reason to stay out of the battle proper.]
How many secondary locations, do you think…? At least one more… the intent is civilian refuge, not military strongholds, but for defensible places… perhaps Patrol Headquarters would be best. As soon as we're finished here we can contact Arthur. And we'll keep Shirley updated.
[All the "We"s. No thought required: his default mentality is that they're a team ( ... )

We don't have to tell anyone about the portkeys and I think at least one, yeah. I'd feel better if we had a third location set up. I'll hope that it won't be needed. I mean, hope's good and all, but it's best to be practical about these things.
In fact, I'd really rather not tell anyone except maybe the owner of said third location. I wouldn't want it compromised before it may be needed. It'd be just the thing if someone set a trap there.
[ She lifts a hand to the side of her face. Tonks is thinking. ]
Well, if this Patrol Headquarters can handle a great many of people and is relatively defensible, let's use that then.

[nods to the rest] Agreed. I'll tell Arthur to spread the word about the clinic and the dojo but hold off on a third. Let's finish those two first and then decide.
I believe... I hope, that the target of the aggressors is not the civilian population of Anatole. I get the impression... they're powerful enough not to care very much one way or the other about anyone they don't consider a threat.
[a fainter, more appropriate to the situation smile] But that may be hope over practicality.
[he hefts his wand again and nods to her for them to begin the next round of charms]

[ Tonks nods her head but stops when Remus mentions the civilian population. She doesn't know about that. Bellatrix is out there. That woman likes to play with her food before eating it. Tonks will not put it past Bellatrix to not inflict purposeful harm on civilians. Bellatrix had already done that at least once. ]
Yeah, well. Bellatrix is here, isn't she? It'd be so her to wreak havoc. As someone I'm very fond of likes to say, constant vigilance Remus.
[ Tonks doesn't bellow it at least. Not that she can as good at Mad-Eye does. She doesn't have the lung capacity.
Shes shakes her head once more before turning her attention to the charms. They had work to do. ]

Then set to work beside her, so complementarily as if they've been doing so for years.]
