Hereafter Is Here After

Things had not been settling down as Liliana hoped. People were still oddly on edge since the attack at school involving holy water by a student from Halcyon and the altercation days later between three Halcyonites with the subsequent arrest of a former hero for attacking his own son. All of which, though unrelated, had only added to the general feeling of mistrust among the student body.

Entering the unused classroom the Hereafter club used for their meetings, Liliana looked around to see if Iggy was still around. They (or she) really needed to talk to someone, get an outside perspective maybe. She felt that, at times, she was too close to everything. She had, as student council president, attended meetings and checked out small rallies and she just got a sense that the message was not getting out there, and wondered what else could be done.

"Iggy?" she called out, "You got a moment?" she asked as she made her way into the classroom.

Liliana turned around when she heard Iggy's voice behind her, relieved and happy that he was still around and that she didn't have to go hunting around the school and its grounds to find him.

"Hey there, great, just the person I needed to see," she said smiling as she walked over to where he was and plopped herself down on a desktop.

"This whole prank attack business is a real mess," she told him with a sigh, pretty sure he knew all the details since he was one of Alma's boyfriends. "Nobody really knows what to do because nobody knows, except Xavier, what the motivations were," she said. "How can we fight against an unknown, and probably irrational, fear?"

Liliana sat back on the desk comfortable when he sat down, and lightly pushed her hair out of her face and behind her ear as she listened intently to Iggy's advice.

"Yeah, that's basically what we are trying to do, or hopefully trying to do. But there are still those out there, you know, those that are dead set on believing there will be some type of retaliation," she said with a slight frown as she thought of her conversation with Gabriel.

Liliana had forgotten Iggy was fae. He was generally easygoing and nice - at least with her and those around or close to him, that she hadn't remembered that about him.

"Yes, I agree, perhaps we can hold an open doors event or rally of some sort. Try to reach people that might not attend Demon held events or events held by the student council," Liliana suggested thoughtfully. She had been to a DSU meeting and it had been rather interesting. But there were still those that didn't fit in with the demons, and maybe felt somewhat isolated. Maybe the Hereafter could reach out to them?

"Lately, I have been joining the welcoming committees and orientation groups when I have time.." Liliana informed Iggy, "Maybe we can use that in some way, possibly?" she suggested questioningly.

"It would also fit in nicely with my student pres duties and help us, the student council and Hereafter, generally become more involved, I think." here she was a tad unsure, but she was willing to try if Iggy was.
