November 27th || Watch Meeting and Business #004
It may be really late, but I didn't forget about it! The Watch would have held a meeting on the 27th of November at the inn as has become customary. As stated during the last OOC watch meeting post, the muns of characters present and, or involved with the Watch will need to respond to this post as it isn't completely informative and will contain things that need to be batted around as well as requests for opinions and the like.
Furthermore, if you didn't know that this is going to be a regular thing on the twenty-seventh of each month, here's your hint and confirmation! Meetings will always be held on the 27th of each month at one o'clock in the afternoon at the inn. There will always be food. Always. And of course, residents are welcome and encouraged to attend.
And now, without further ado...
ATTENDANCE
If your character will be attending, comment here. Likewise, if your character is a member of the Watch and won't be attending, comment here. If your character would have given advance notice that he or she won't be attending, that's cool, but again, comment here with who they would have told so we know. If somebody other than you doesn't know, it doesn't benefit your character!
THE AGENDA
• The Investigative Division of the Watch - Temporarily Scratched, But Discussion Welcome. Consider this a decision made in light of the need to prioritize the furthering of the village's resources as the winter comes in. The Watch itself is suffering a shortage in manpower given recent developments and as no one has come forward with a solution to make both the Watch and an Investigative Division manageable, it's been put on the backburner; however, this could be changed through discussion and the floor is open on the matter.
• The restructuring of partnered pairs and shift teams is, as always, a priority. In other words, if your character doesn't like who they're partnered individually and, or in a shift team or would prefer a different partner or shift period, the meeting would be the time to make it known. That goes for putting forward suggestions concerning these things, too. Each pair and shift team can expect to be spoken to individually and separately. Consider it a check-up and feel free to drop a note in the comments about anything they would have said. Given the shortage of members, some pairs have come into new shift teams (pairs of four that work one shift) on additional days. Please bear this in mind and that may mean more chances for CR!
• The Fae Festival and the Tithe Event. Valeria will be requesting reports from every Watch member who was present during these two events, which she will note should be treated (and thus have reports written for them) separately. In this instance, the mun would like to request something of substance, even if it's only detailed feedback given of your character's recollection of these events as it's kind of important. The floor will be open to residents regarding this topic well. Fae, fae abilities and fighting styles, persons of interest, odd little details that might not have stuck out then but do now, injuries sustained -- Val's looking for the whole shebang so that proper defensive and offensive measures can be speculated and drawn up, so give everything you've got on this!
• Missing Persons... added to the list include Emi Wakahisa and in the farther future, Suzaku Kururugi. Watch members are advised to keep their eyes open for signs of these individuals, if not for the individuals for themselves, and inquiries as to any other known missing persons are invited. Please comment in the appropriate section to add someone or have your character make commentary regarding the aforementioned individuals' disappearances. You never know! Someone might have something useful, if not a clue as to their fates.
• Wards, Residences, and Effectiveness. The effectiveness of what wards have been provided residences -- namely the rowan provided by that handsome young Med'an and also the iron rods provided for for each home -- will be evaluated. If you couldn't tell, the floor is open on this topic, too. Anyone who'd like to volunteer feedback or offer troubleshooting advice, feel free!
• Reports. Please to be making them as they're kind of important. It can be about the thing in the closet, encounters with various fae, change in fae activity in this or that area, suspicious behavior from a person, RECENT EVENTS, etc. These would likely have been handed in on paper or something regularly throughout the course of the month, but if we don't know what's been handed in, it makes it hard to address things, so get crackin'!
• Data Analysis via Reports and Steps Toward Improvement. All data submitted in the form of reports by the Watch members will be shared with the group at large. This includes fae sightings, attacks by the fae, general fae activity, wildlife activity -- basically, anything and everything that could be problematic and, or endanger the safety of residents and Watch members would have been discussed with regard to the what, when, where, how to combat and, or safeguard against, etc. The purpose of this exercise is to begin to gradually improve the Watch and its ability / tactics to safeguard the community building off the data gathered. In other words, this is another open floor topic after the data is presented.
• General Concerns, Questions, Suggestions. Any general concerns, questions, or suggestions had by anyone at the meeting will be addressed, too, so shoot them here and note that that's what it is / what would have been commented, asked, or suggested please!
• Open Floor. Open floor is exactly that. Anything goes here so long as it's watch or community-oriented and/or related. That includes introductions, discussions regarding sparring, bartering, sharing of information, announcements, and other things.
NOTE(S): Please bear in mind that a lot of the information Valeria will be working off comes from reports made by the Watch members, which, as previously stated, can be handwaved. I apologize if either of those things weren't clear; however, important things need to get back to me or someone who chats with me often and has a character actively involved in the Watch -- preferably before these posts so I don't have to edit them as much.
If there's something your character would have reported regarding any of these things, please mention it under REPORTS in the comments, even if it's something so mundane as the Redcaps being restless or something. That could potentially lead to plot. Use the system!
