In Which Caroline Organizes a Town Hall
Who: Everyone
What: Caroline holds court and everyone hashes it out over how to organize.
Where: The Heartstone.
When: After the leadership post on the network.
Warnings/Notes: Conversations may get intense due to the baggage characters are bringing to any conversation about authority, particularly structural authority. Threadhopping is encouraged; my notifs are off and you can treat this like a network post, just with face-to-face interaction. The mods reserve the right to shut down threads or the post entirely if it gets out of hand.
Caroline and Stacia have, by now, made little portable deer-hide cushions for every person they've counted up in the camp, all fifty three. It's taken them a while, and in the meantime, Stacia was on the mirror network announcing her candidacy for leadership, and Caroline was in the background making little tutting and tch noises. This is why she doesn't do the internet.
Finally, she gets her own mirror out and makes an announcement, then arranges the little cushions for everyone in a wide, multi-tiered circle, staggered so everyone has a view towards the center, all at perfect fifteen degree angles to the one next to them. She sets six little campfires to ensure everything's well-lit. And she folds her arms and she waits.

Re: Making Sure We're All Reading The Same Book
That sound good to you?
[She doesn't have the Talking Pillow (and isn't that a good idea on Caroline's part), so she keeps her voice low.]
no subject
[ Not returning wasn't an option. Even if these people are strange and overwhelming to him, they're still people and he should still attempt to help them. He appreciated a heads up that they might be resolving the problem, even though he doesn't feel like he's in any position to contribute. ]
[ He replies to Stacia, his voice is a calm, low buzz. ]
Doesn't matter.
[ It really doesn't. He doesn't think this sounds good, he thinks it sounds chaotic, but he also considers it beyond him to change it. He has neither the claim to authority, nor (and he's honest with himself about this) the skillset. If they were a lost squad and he still had a mission, sure. But this, here? No. ]
