The town square is silent.

Cornelia paces, waiting for people to show up. She thumbs the hunting knife she'd picked up from a house near where she had woken up. Should any troublemakers appear, she was prepared-- unless, of course, they appeared with a gun. The city was too big to explore alone; too dangerous to wander the streets aimlessly. So that's why she doesn't have one herself. The only reason she didn't go to pick anyone up so they didn't have to traverse alone was because that would be setting herself up for an ambush. For a similar reason she waits off to the side of the square, concealed behind a food vendor, rather than sitting in the middle.

Trusting these people could be her downfall-- so she won't trust until they've proved themselves. But they're largely children. And she thinks of her late sister because of that. Euphie wouldn't want these people to go around alone in a place where any danger could be lurking. So that's her primary motivation in doing this. It's a mixture of that and the wholehearted desire to go home, to find the answers of this place. Cornelia knows returning home could be impossible with or without help, but she isn't about to give up on that hope. So she seeks help, because her chances are higher that way.

She scans the surrounding areas, alert. If that false Zero were to appear before her, she thinks, child or not-- she would destroy him. Anger swells once again, a sort of madness and hysteria that she finds unbecoming in other people. Cornelia breathes.

They all start walking off, just past the museum, down Parkview, across to Mercy and then to Mercy Apartments. She'd already checked the place out before even using the radio; there is a lot of food inside the apartments, enough to feed everyone who might have lived there before and thus more than enough to feed everyone here now. Once they fall into the lobby, she exits the superintendent's office with a floorplan of the place. She claps her hands and speaks up.

"Alright, first thing's first. Apartments. If you want to live among your fellow people in a place that is meant to be safe and regulated, speak up."

Once that is done with, she takes a step forward. "Second of all: what you can do. Have you any martial arts training, are you capable with a weapon? If you know what you're doing, let's prepare a watch so no one enters this building without our knowledge. This is to protect the persons of all who decide to reside here. If you find anything of interest that may help the rest of us out, report to me. Additionally I want two of you come with me to search for weapons and other supplies."

[ ooc: We can handwave or thread out apartment assignments, just comment to the linked post in Cornelia's journal. Feel free to switch to action etc., additionally you can continue the mingling below this thread if you want to. Also feel free to just interact within the apartments under this subthread. ]

	For the first time since he'd arrived at the meeting, Golbez speaks up. "I can handle most kinds of weapons, and I am a mage. I'd be willing to help protect the building's inhabitants." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nods once, places a hand on her hip. "A mage?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A black mage," he clarifies, as though that should be enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A black mage," she repeats. "What is a black mage." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A user of black magic, as opposed to a white mage." It should be obvious, but he tries not to sound condescending. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Magic." Her tone is flat. "Don't waste my time with nonsense like that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You don't know about magic." See that skepticism on his face? "I can provide a demonstration -- outside, where there's less chance of damaging something or someone." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She looks the girl over carefully; she's seen young people capable of amazing things, but it would surprise her if this girl were a proper doctor of some sort. "Are you magical too?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not really a term anyone uses with zaiphon, so Ouka blinks for a second before realizing what she means. "I can use zaiphon. It's what we call the natural energy in our bodies back in my - world. I suppose it can be looked at as magic." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She raises a brow. She's learning about a lot of interesting things today; things she never once thought even remotely possible. "You'll have to show me sometime. Your abilities-- even if I don't quite understand how they work-- will likely be useful here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course. I am prepared to use them as soon as anyone needs me." And she'll keep this promise too. "I am Ouka. We spoke earlier over the radio." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
