The Travelers' Meeting

123 7 26
                                    

The advisers chosen to explore 454-1C were the following: from c-1, Dream and Bad, from c-2, just Philza, from c-3, Skeppy and Zelk, from c-4, Fundy, and from c-5, all the advisers decided to go. Several people decided to tag along with c-1, c-3, and c-4, and there were trustworthy ones put in charge of the communities while they were gone. They all planned to have the meeting at the Dream Team's territory (which they learned the name from when they all were dividing the livestock among them) to discuss the plans for the exploration of 454-1C. They would cycle through different advisers' communities each week.

After bringing in all the animals from Mother Hen, Dream and Bad started to the advisers' house in Dream Team territory. Sapnap and George had cleaned up the house all day for the travelers' meeting, and they welcomed Dream and Bad when they returned. Dream smiled gratefully at the two. "Thank you! Did you guys want to stay while we conduct the meeting here, or were you planning on doing something else?" George blinked.

"Well, we weren't really planning on doing anything," he looked at Sapnap, wondering if he had any ideas, but he just shook his head. George took a breath. "So, I guess we'll just stay in here and listen." Dream acknowledged the statement, thanking them again.

He checked the clock on the wall; it read 5:41. He looked at Bad. "The advisers should be here at 6:30, so we have a little extra time to prepare." BBH nodded, heading towards the pantry to make a quick dinner for them all before the others arrived. Dream went to collect the others from his community who were brave enough to venture with them. As soon as he opened the door, his lime-green eyes found Ant about to knock on the door.

Philza rushed out of the advisers' house, packing a bag of clothes to take to the Dream Team's territory. Tommy watched, fascinated, as Phil swiftly moved around, seemingly familiar with the house for the short time they had been there. Wilbur watched, descending slowly from the stairs, as the boy silently observed the things that Phil was doing. He seemed to be noting everything that was done by the older man so that he could do the same. Wilbur chuckled lightly to himself, already considering Tommy as a part of the family.

Jschlatt had started down the stairs, wondering why on earth Wilbur had stopped halfway down the stairs. He followed Wil's gaze to the boy sitting on the couch, and he flinched from guilt. Tommy saw Wil from the corner of his eye, and the boy turned his head to grin at him. As soon as he saw Schlatt, though, he panicked, his eyes searching for Philza, who, unfortunately for Tommy, had gone outside on the porch to talk with Techno. Tommy kept his eyes to the floor, trying not to bother Schlatt.

Wilbur watched unhappily, glancing back to Schlatt, who sighed and headed back upstairs.

A faint voice found its way in the house unknowingly through an opened window. "I need to be there by 6:30, and I'll probably stay the night, too. So, if you and Wilbur could watch Tommy and make sure Jschlatt or anyone else doesn't bully him more than they already have been, that would probably make him feel safer and more welcome." Phil's words slipped right through the window, and Tommy's face burned red. Wilbur quickly made his way over to the boy, sitting down next to him.

"You don't have to be embarrassed. Phil's just like that to all of us," Wilbur offered, trying to comfort him. Tommy said nothing, keeping his stare at the floor, hoping that he was invisible- which he wasn't.

Techno's voice came through the window, "... and I'll have a little 'talk' with Punz and Jschlatt-" Phil's nervous laughter was heard, as well as his pleading with Techno not to do anything too extreme. After the conversation ended, the door opened, and Phil came back in, followed by Techno. Philza wasn't aware that the window had been open, so he informed Wilbur and Tommy that he would be leaving at 5:45 PM and told them to make a healthy dinner with some of the fresh basil he had grown and brought from Mother Hen.

Phil ran upstairs, grabbing a bag that he had finished packing. He then yelled goodbye to them all, and when Tommy opened the door to let him out, Philza gave him a quick hug. "Stay safe, okay?"

Tommy beamed at him. "Only if you do too." Philza chuckled, tousling the boy's hair before leaving the house and starting his journey to Dream Team's territory.

Techno grabbed a box of pasta out of a cupboard and carefully plucked off leaves of basil from Philza's basil plant. He glimpsed over at Tommy, who was looking out the window at Phil walking away.

"Could you boil some water, Tommy?" Techno requested. The young blonde jumped up, glad to help.

Skeppy had nearly forgotten about the Travelers' meeting, and Zelk didn't have the courtesy to remind him. Skeppy watched, perplexed, as Zelk sped around the house, fixing things up as he went. He finally asked Zelk what on 454-1C was going on.

"What?!" Zelk screeched, stopping in his tracks to glower at Skeppy. "Did you actually forget about the Travelers' Meeting?" Skeppy shrugged, making Zelk sigh. "Just pack your bags and get ready to go by 5:00 PM, okay?" Skeppy nodded, glancing at the clock (reading 4:54) and following Zelk up the stairs.

He didn't bother with packing too many things, just getting two bottles of water and a change of clothes. He tucked a couple of his belongings into a small duffle bag and slung it around his shoulders. Zelk yelled at him to get downstairs, and Skeppy obediently complied, giving Zelk a grin before they left. Mega raced out to the porch just before the two left, giving them both a wave as he smiled brightly at them.

Heading back inside, Mega was met by Spifey, who asked what was going on. Mega signed that they had left for the Travelers' meeting, and Spifey sighed. "I wish they'd tell me these things." The mute just rolled his eyes, walking back inside.

Fundy was prepared, as always, way before it was time for him to depart. He took time to go over problems and emergency plans that could come up while he was gone with Tubbo and Sparklez, making sure they understood what to do in those situations.

A few others joined Fundy since they were interested in joining the Travelers' Group but weren't too sure about it. They were mostly going to see how well they fit in. When it was time for him to leave, Fundy departed, waving a small goodbye to his fellow advisers.

TapL and Wisp tried to shake Billy off their tail, but he was determined to get them to like him. Much to TapL and Wisp's chagrin, once they all arrived at The Dream Team's house, Billy started introducing himself to everyone, still trying to make a good impression.

Dream and BBH appreciated Billy's eagerness, and they found some common ground. Wisp smiled and nudged TapL to show him how well he was doing, immediately regretting it as TapL glared at him and impatiently watched the clock, waiting for the meeting to start, unamused that Billy was being friendly to the others.
