Meeting the Resistance... (backdated to after the last open post)

[theabjectauthor]

It is a curious fact that Secret Meeting Places come in all shapes and sizes. On his own part, Lemony could no longer count all of the ones he had known, but there were still several that were quite memorable: a Turkish coffee parlor in Memphis, the space in the shaft above an elevator in a well-known hotel, even a cardboard box that had once held an industrial refrigerator. But as he finally made his way through the last of the forest path toward the rebels' secret base, he knew that it was already reserving itself a place upon the memorable list... If not perhaps for the form, but for the cause it supported. Of all the things he had rallied for, the defeat of angels would not feasibly have appeared on his personal list, before now. Even so, he ducked inside and prepared to both learn, and be queried...

[Allen heard the sound of someone coming into the cave, since he had been rather near the entrance on guard duty. He grabs his claymore that was laying next to him and walks towards the entrance to see who it is]

Hello?

[theabjectauthor]

[oh good, a voice he recognizes] Allen? Is that you?

[And he comes into view, looking a bit surprised]

Mr. Snicket?

Are you all right?

[theabjectauthor]

Yes, I'm quite fine, thank you. ... I thought, perhaps, I might come find you and see if I could be of service. [he hefts up his trusty briefcase with a hopeful lilt of his eyebrows. please let him be a rebel? pretty please?]

[save_the_souls]

Oh...

[He'll smile]

Of course! Right this way!

[He'll gesture to come deeper into the cave]

[theabjectauthor]

Oh, thank you. [he hurries after him, careful not to leave anything behind them] After hearing about what happens to people who are turned into so-called angels, there was no way I could, in good conscience, sit idly by, even if I am more a purveyor of knowledge than a soldier.
