OOC - Once the first group have arrived through the portal and tumble out into the Cafe Musain. Enjolras will welcome them, shaking each ones hand. Their reactions won't seem to phase him. He will introduce them to his friends and Grantaire will offer each one a drink as they settle into the cafe. Once they are all there Enjolras will stand up and quieten the room. That's right. It's passionate speech time.
Feel free to log stuff below or OOC'ly write up your characters reactions to this. ~~~
Friends!
I welcome you to Paris. I will admit I am still unsure as to the magic that has brought you here but I can say that I am grateful you have come.
We are a people held under the yoke of an oppressive and cruel regime. The poor of Paris are desolate, barely able to scrape enough to live on let alone prosper. The monarchy once again holds power it has no right to and I hope only to see blessed Patria free to make her one decisions. To govern herself as is the right of every man and woman. We are not the only nation to fight for her freedom but we seem to have been blessed from a power unknown to us.
I believe this is proof of the righteousness of our cause and welcome it gladly.
We have found you lodgings, they are humble but given the situation, the best we can do. My friends will show you there soon enough.
You find yourselves at our Headquarters, the Cafe Musain, it is here we plan, it is here we meet a number of times a week. I will not demand this of you, only hope it is your intention to aid us. We are available to help you acclimatise to our time and our city. The Republic thanks you for your arrival and I truly hope I may thank you for your aid and share with you our victory when France is free to determine her own fate.
Vive la République et Vive la France!
