Ch. 83 - The Truce

(A/N: i live :D )

***

The break was nice. Drinks and food were shared, discussions over the various bombshells of information and smooth jazz was played.

Dream and Nightmare talked about their pasts. Chaos introduced more people to their Mario Party despite already going well past what the game is meant to handle. Ccino decided to anxiously serve more coffee trying to get people more emotionally invested in the continuation of his AU's existence and was fighting between a customer service smile and breaking down in tears.

Outer decided to help Mutt man camera's for 10G and was floating around, getting interesting camera angles. Razz went back to interviewing people, focusing on the gang. Killer had even managed to finish playing the video of child Nightmare refusing his vegetables to the live stream far enough away that Nightmare didn't notice.

Blue decided to split the stream into two VODs so that the first half of the meeting could be sent to AU's that don't run on the same timeframe as soon as possible for AUs to be informed to Reset. He would send the second half after they were done with the meeting. The AUs faster than them would just need to deal with the suspense for a few months. Which he felt bad about, but at least they would have something to go off of.

At some point, Void got a really serious look before turning off the viewing screen. It was probably fine. He would tell Fresh if it was important ... probably. Oh well! Fresh returned his focus to his Fun Dip.

When they finished the break, there weren't any volunteers to add anymore stories or statements. Everyone was nervous and impatient to get through this.

"ALRIGHT." Blue said, taking a breath and regaining the room's attention. "ALL IN FAVOR TO GO AHEAD WITH PLANNING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TRUCE?"

The screen behind them, that had been used for Razz's video, was now set up to see the live count and the tablets that had been handed out gave the options to vote on.

CONTINUE or DO NOT.

For the next minute the vote would jump left and right, and while it was close for a few seconds it thankfully landed on CONTINUE, meaning they could go forward with the truce.

During the entire time, Fresh had been struggling to remove a finger trap from his hands - several in fact. Which was entirely his own fault and should have seen coming, yet did anyway. At least he got his vote in.

Blue was quick to mention the document regarding truce terms and conditions, proudly bringing up the work in progress of over 500 Star Council members on the screen - proud for 5 seconds that is. It was about as neat and comprehensible as Fresh's code, which was impressive in its own way.

From somewhere in the room you could hear an, "... oh boy~"

"Suddenly, our notes no longer feel so disorganized." Nightmare said smugly, straightening his pile of papers and sticky notes - even a napkin was even spotted with writing on it.

"told you it'd be fine." Dust said, leaning back in his chair.

"THIS ... THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE." Blue said, horrified and determined.

"Welp broski-bro's." Fresh said amused, cracking his knuckles, causing some of the council to recoil. "Let's get crackin' yo!"

Long story short, it took hours, plenty of yelling, some tears and at least one attempted stabbing. But they finally managed something resembling a coherent truce agreement using what they had, but scrapping most of it. They were well and truly exhausted and might have let some things slip in just so that it would end sooner.
