A Rally in Support of the Hungry Few

[baedalites.livejournal.com]

Who: The City
What: A Rally in Support of Cruorvores.
Where: Mercer's Square, Aspic
When: AT A CLEVER TIME
Notes: Everyone is welcome, including curious neutrals. NPCs available on request. OOC post.
Warnings: A general spirit of solidarity may be present.

Word has been spreading over the network and on the street. Leaflets have been available at open minded public houses and restaurants. A few of the city's more prominent inhabitants have organized a rally to show support for cruorvore citizens. It is going to be a public event; sanctioned, the leaflet assures, by the state. Speeches will be made, the true colours of the city will be shown. There is a lot of talk about standing up to the sowers of discord.

As the evening of the rally approaches, more and more people gather in the square. All sorts have come out for the event, xenians, humans and people who defy categorization mingle peacefully. A cat watches the proceedings from on top the stage has been erected to one end. The stage has been draped in banners promoting tolerance and acceptance, and small sign near the bottom proclaims it was built with the kind donations from Bloody Sunday, The Zygoda, Howl's Market and certain private citizens, of which there is a list. Some attendees have brought instruments and casually strike up a tune every now and then. Others have brought food, signs or torches as the rally promises to continue well into the night.

"Aimery le Gode." He would have offered a handshake but they already did that. So he didn't. Aimery paused a moment, then added, "Is Fish short for something?"

[fish]

Haha, that would be his name, wouldn't it? Fish is about to say something about how fitting it is, but then there's a question and his train of thought zooms on ahead, basically out of control. "Kinda? It's my family name. People just called me Fish in college, and it stuck, so I guess I'm used to it now. Is there, like...a short form for Aimery? Like a nickname or whatever that you don't hate?"

That question caught him off guard. Why would Aimery need to be shortened? Aimery blinked for a moment, trying to remember if he had any nicknames; most of what his memory churned up as alternate names were vulgarities. Must've had some unpleasant friends.

"Well. Not really, usually people just call me Aimery after I ask them not to call me Mr. Le Gode. I... seem to recall being called Aims or Amy a time or two."
