there was plenty of time before sundown as it was still morning around 11 am. Damon also received a notification to one particular function he found very useful which would allow him to speak with everyone at once in the city.
with this function Damon called two different meetings as he informed jolly and the others he was with currently of his actions.
he told Jolly and company to continue exploring awhile he handled a few things. the rest of them heard the announcement from the nearby buildings and recognized it was Damon's voice even though he was literally right next to them. he told them he had control of some city functions that would allow him to do such things and left it at that. to them it looked as if he wasn't doing anything but little did the rest of them knew besides jolly it he was using the system mentally while walking.
Damon headed back to the meeting area which was the castle on the third floor but he waited at the entrance knowing the others weren't allowed entry upon the new I guess you could say settings the cities were under.
"hello miss grey, nurse heart, calvus, and welcome spade." Damon said to the gentleman with gold armor shoulder straps while nodding at an older gentleman a few steps behind them.
they all followed Damon to the third floor of the castle entering a room that recently wasn't there until a few changes occurred earlier. it had a obsidian round table with obsidian crystalized chairs as well as a 70 inch terminal screen with a visual 3d projection on the wall of obsidian city. while entering the room Damon acted is he wasn't surprised. he only chose this room because if shield instructions. in fact to call a meeting was shield idea the entire time.
Damon was against it all but shield had bluntly stated it was his city and he needed to take action with organizing it and making certain things right within the city. Damon's plan was to use the current higher ups along which was sir Hughes, miss grey and nurse heart to help run the city but sir hughes wasn't there at the moment and he recalled sir Hughes to call upon spade and the man named Bison who was currently with sir hughes a few times in which he decided to add spade to the meeting along with one person he was comfortable with.
which was old man butcher the man he nodded at earlier when they arrived.
they all took a seat as Damon begun talking. Damon had given spade the duty of controlling the prison as well as getting people he trusted to run the building. he had also provided nurse heart with a building to operate and be a head of and that was another building that had healing equipment.
"nurse heart I'm sure you noticed the building jolly arranged for you to live in is also one with phenomenal healing equipment that you aren't familiar with, I understand it's a bit on the big side of things and you can still ask for a regular home to live while still doing what you do best."
"miss grey we have many kids here and I Don't know if you'll be up for it but there is a building we can turn into a school. instead of actually teaching I would like for you to run the entire thing while hiring people to teach. I'm not completely sure how things should be but I understand a currency is to be applied with jobs and I have no clue how that will work but for the time being the payment will be the eligibility to stay in obsidian city. "
"this goes for all jobs within the city for now." He added while looking towards spade letting him know it was the same for whoever he put in charge of the prison.
with that the meeting ended. they all had questions on how certain things worked about the buildings. nurse heart had already tried operating some of the equipment she seen in the building she was given which was medium sized care center with the same stone bench like chairs that Damon used to save jolly at the castle.
Shield quickly informed him of a certain notification he chose to ignore when being flooded with them earlier. this notification showed him how to give certain individuals access to certain buildings functions as well as them to give the people they hire the authority to use them as well.
This notification came with something a little different but special for this sense. a simple number and finger print. each building used for work required one number and with that number they could activate that building true function and interface. whoever they hire would have to have this information and be added to that specific building system.
when it came to buildings that weren't a home anyone could enter but only the authorized people could actually operate functions the building provided.
Damon gave them certain numbers that were listed on the information of the building from the system and for their finger print all Damon had to do was get them each to press on a crystal like disk, similar to the same disk jolly had given them during the sorting but was a little different.
"now you all have authority and the knowledge to how the building you're responsible for operate." Damon said ending the meeting.
As everyone left their was only one person who was still sitting down and that was old man butcher.
"I'm assuming you must have something rather private to tell or give me my boy considering you the look of things." the butcher says while looking around.
"yes something rather important so important that I wouldn't trust anyone else with." old man butcher eyebrows raised up as he leaned in placing his arms on the table.
"I would like for you be in control of the food here in this entire city. I'm not asking you to hunt and provide but just form hunting teams. now why do I believe their is more to it than that. you could have told me that while the others were here." the old man said.
like always, old man butcher could read Damon like an open book. "ok ok, I don't know what I am doing, I mean this city, the responsibility, the people, everything that's going on. I'm not ready for this I'm only 17 years old I can't run a city this is crazy. I mean there's so much to it and what about this currency crap. I have things I wanna do , I got this going on and that going I'm mean what now, every time someone has a problem they're going to come to me and these meetings do i have one everyday, every other day once a week twice a week. WHAT EXACTLY DO I SUPPOSE TO DO. Damon says frantically and in a panic.
it was clear to old man butcher that Damon was having a slight breakdown.
'woah calm yourself my boy, look I understand the weight of being in charge of a group of people let alone a city. I must say you did very well with this meeting to get a few things in order, but I will admit you're not ready for such responsibilities not at the moment anyway."
"yes that's what I'm saying it's too much for me at the moment I mean I have things I must do and to run a city right now isn't one of them. I don't know, I guess I needed someone to talk with about this I mean I feel like I'm losing it a little." Damon says.
"look why don't you set up a vote for a city head and let them shoulder the load. I've thought of that, I offered sir hughes the position right out the gate. so he declined. well no he suggested I do the same as you which was letting the people choose."
"well that tells me he understands the people are the true heart to a city which is good. I have no doubt in my mind he will be chosen as a matter of fact let me hasten the progress."
Old man butcher then pulled out a link crystal. it glowed blue for a moment then turned green. once it was green sir hughes voice could be heard. "sir Bishop I wasn't expecting a call from you is everything alright." sir Hughes said.
"Yes of course it is but I'm currently with Damon and I must say he's doing a great job with handling things here, but he would like for me run something by you. I understand he's offered you to become city head of our new home.
"yes he did, I told him to let the people choose. ah yes he informed me of that but what I'm calling about is having the vote done before you return. I will set it up between you and another individual."
.
"I see no issue with that, but me and you both know the job would be best in your hand. why not get out of that shop of yours and lead the city. I have always known you were rather fond of Mr. blade in a sense of a son but.....that's enough I'll contact you once the voting has been done. click! the crystal turned red disconnecting the call. old man butcher didn't give sir Hughes the opportunity to continue with his words before interrupting him and hanging up the call.
"Bishop, is that your last name. a long time ago it was, but forget bout that you must inform everyone of selecting a city head. once the votes are casted and when sir hughes win since he isn't here you will still have to be in control but I will help in areas until he returns."
"ok that sounds like a good enough plan to me, not to pry but judging by your small conversation with sir hughes, you two must know eachother pretty well. " Damon asked
"ahhhh not really he buys a lot of products from me and we've chatted a few times but that is all."
Damon knew old man butcher wasn't telling him the truth. the he called sir hughes and practically told him what he was going to do sounded more like an order than asking permission which didn't seem right to him.
"anyway my boy if there is nothing else I must be going soon. oh by the way I paid you two silver coins this month before all of this happened. I still need what is owed to me."
"what, so you're going to make me go hunting after everything that has happened" Damon said with a look of confusion scrunching up his face.
" it's not really about hunting but a man must keep his word no matter what plus we have to get food somehow now get to it my boy." old man butcher says while walking away.
"he's definitely hiding some things.
