Angel Koreeda Meets the Preventers December 18/00 (Times are in EST)
|
[20:58] <Angel_Koreeda> <As the daylight falls and the sun hides behind the tall buildings Angel and her crew get to work. Under the cover of night they spirit away the parts needed to make the suits that during the day are for the GCE, but during the evening these parts are for different purposes. Once loaded on to the mammoth transport trucks, they cover it up with non-descript tarp and drive out of the factory, the guards turning a blind eye>
[21:00] <Angel_Koreeda> <Angel turns to towards her friend: Did you get those pamphlets ready for the meeting at the town hall tonight? I want everyone to have them on hand. The GCE controlling all news that comes in has brainwashed our people>
[21:03] <Angel_Koreeda> <the person beside her nods. Angel then jumps into a jeep, turns to someone and tells them that she's off to the meeting and then drives off. Angel's dark red hair flies around her face as she speeds through the empty streets, ever since the GCE stepped in, people have been afraid to leave their home for anything other than work or getting the bare necessities.>
[21:06] <Angel_Koreeda> <driving past the now run-down buildings which were once the pride of her city, she arrives at a dimly lit building, the windows emiting a yellow glow. On the front steps, people from all ages and walks of life congregate. The town hall used to be the centre of the city's local talent concerts, it used to be the site of new year's morning brunches...now the new year only seems to be of more heartache.>
[21:06] <Angel_Koreeda> <sigh> i hope this works. <Angel parks her jeep in front of the town hall>
[21:09] <Angel_Koreeda> <Angel walks into the town hall, the plastic bag with pamphlets in one hand, and a paper detailing what she means to say tonight in the other>
[21:20] <Angel_Koreeda> <walks up the aisle, all those seated, their heads turning towards her. She smiles at those she recognizes, and nods her head politely to those who try to make eye contact with her. Trying to fight off last minute jitters, she takes a deep breath and closes her eyes, in hopes to regroup. Two young boys sitting in the front stared at her, and she hands them the plastic bag and instructions>
[21:24] <Cliff_Hunter> <points at a large white building> I think thats the town hall
[21:24] <Cliff_Hunter> why not there?
[21:24] <Keith_Triten> <nods>
[21:24] <Tyson_Lang> Good a place as any...somebody remember where we parked...
[21:24] <Cliff_Hunter> <enters the town hall and looks around>
[21:24] <Angel_Koreeda> <walking up the two steps that lead up to the stage, she gets behind the podium. after clearing her voice she looks around at the crowd. Their eyes seemed lifeless, as if they had no hope left, however, they still smiled, as if trying to pretend like there was>
[21:25] <Cliff_Hunter> <looks up at the speaker that just walked up>
[21:26] <Cliff_Hunter> let's listen to what she has to say
[21:26] <Tyson_Lang> <shrugs>
[21:27] <Angel_Koreeda> <Angel notices a couple of young men walk into the hall, and notices that they had a special air about them. In hopes to recruit such type, she smiles at the one with the "hair that looks like it could kill a rhino">
[21:28] <Angel_Koreeda> <ahem. could i please have everyone's attention? <waits as the crowd quiets down> ((read her profile))
[21:28] <Keith_Triten> .....<sits down>
[21:29] <Angel_Koreeda> Thank you everyone for coming here tonight. I know its not what you would normally do on a thursday evening, hell, I'd rather be spending my evening at a drive in theatre eating popcorn and watching a new release...however, when was the last time any of you had done that?
[21:29] <Angel_Koreeda> <the crowd nods in agreement>
[21:31] <Keith_Triten> Over half a year now.
[21:31] <Keith_Triten> Damn war.
[21:31] <Angel_Koreeda> My name is Angel Koreeda. I was born to miner parents, a conservative home with good morals. These last few years, i've been working in that monstrous ediface that makes it home on the edges of our once beautiful city.
[21:31] <Angel_Koreeda> Day in and day out I go in with my friends, and build Mobile Suits for the GCE.
[21:31] <Cliff_Hunter> sounds like their po'ed about something
[21:31] <Trowa`Barton> hmmm
[21:32] <Cliff_Hunter> great place to start
[21:32] <Angel_Koreeda> <her voice begins to raise, and people begin to talk amongst themselves>
[21:32] <Trowa`Barton> <nods>
[21:32] <Cliff_Hunter> <walks down to the front row.. looks a little ominous with the trench coat on and sits down so he can hear better>
[21:33] <Keith_Triten> ....
[21:33] <Keith_Triten> <Heads to the front row>
[21:33] <Angel_Koreeda> Now, please, don't look at me like the enemy, I don't build them in order to add to everyone's heartache, we've tried to spirit parts secretly, and build our own suits, everyone in the factory is included in this, no one wanting to live under the GCE's thumb any longer. No, we don't have an army, no where close. But it's a start.
[21:33] <Trowa`Barton> <stays in the back leaning against a wall>
[21:33] <Cliff_Hunter> <smiles>
[21:33] <Angel_Koreeda> <people begin to nod>
[21:34] <Angel_Koreeda> However, I'm not here to share with you what I am trying to do for you, I want to share with you what you could do for me. I'm not trying to be selfish, but this is an appeal for all those who could help.
[21:35] <Angel_Koreeda> <looks to the two boys with the pamphlets in their hands, nodding, they begin to pass them around>
[21:35] <Trowa`Barton> looks like we got the right place
[21:35] <Angel_Koreeda> These two young boys are handing out pamphlets
[21:35] <Angel_Koreeda> They're a bit crude, but they do have some valuable information.
[21:35] <Cliff_Hunter> whoa, they even made pamphlets
[21:36] <Angel_Koreeda> What the GCE shows you on TV is wrong. They paint themselves to be saviours, but how have they saved us?
[21:36] <Angel_Koreeda> They control the news...people are dying out in our sister colonies, and we don't know about it.
[21:36] <Angel_Koreeda> There are people trying to help us..however, i'm afraid that they may be in trouble.
[21:37] <Angel_Koreeda> I want everyone to read that, and for a moment, think about what is going outside of our precious walls.
[21:37] <Angel_Koreeda> And remember that our kids will be living the future that we are creating for them.
[21:38] <Angel_Koreeda> <people look at their pamphlets, nodding listening to the small girl who's voice has them enthralled and beginning to give them the hope that they lost>
[21:38] <Keith_Triten> .....
[21:38] <Angel_Koreeda> I want you to all help me.
[21:38] <Trowa`Barton> <glances at the pamphlet he was handed, then places it down on a table beside him>
[21:38] <Angel_Koreeda> I've received news that a group that is called the preventers may be in the area.
[21:38] <Tyson_Lang> <to Trowa> I think you're right.
[21:38] <Angel_Koreeda> I don't know how to contact them, but i think they can help. <mumbles i hope they can help>
[21:38] <Keith_Triten> We're here.
[21:39] <Keith_Triten> <smiles>
[21:39] <Angel_Koreeda> I'm sure they'll need food and supplies, perhaps our services to get things repaired...
[21:39] <Trowa`Barton> <shakes his head>
[21:39] <Angel_Koreeda> anything that these troops can have, please, give to them.
[21:39] <Angel_Koreeda> But , do not let people know what you're doing...the GCE still watches like hawks even though we seem like a docile community
[21:40] <Angel_Koreeda> however, we have no need to be docile. We need to fight against those that imprison us! Please, help us in our fight to make our colonies the home it used to be. Thank you.
[21:41] <Tyson_Lang> <applauds>
[21:41] <Keith_Triten> <Applauds>
[21:41] <Trowa`Barton> <claps>
[21:41] <Angel_Koreeda> <she takes her sheets of paper and takes a seat. Turning around at the sound of applause she blushes and smiles. acknowledging their support>
[21:41] <Trowa`Barton> <to Tyson> I'll go speak with her
[21:42] <Tyson_Lang> <nods> Mind if I tag along?
[21:42] <Trowa`Barton> <walks over to Angel>
[21:43] <Angel_Koreeda> <turns towards the two men walking to her> Hello good evening. I noticed you in the back, and you seem like strangers here.
[21:43] <Angel_Koreeda> Are you here to help?
[21:43] <Keith_Triten> <<stands up>
[21:43] <Keith_Triten> <Follows>
[21:43] <Trowa`Barton> I suppose you could say that
[21:43] <Trowa`Barton> We're preventers
