IM - WILL YOU JOIN IN OUR CRUSADE?
[For the past few days people might have noticed Enjolras in the mess half - or rather haven't noticed him at the mess hall. That's because Enjolras hasn't been eating there. Sure, he's made brief appearances - long enough to grab a plate of food before going outside.
At first it was because the weather had finally seemed to make up it's mind, but sitting outside eating had given him an idea.
Or rather... Reignited a certain idea.
He sends out the rainbow sometime in the morning, a frown on his lips. It should be clear to anyone he has thought long and hard about what he's going to say.]
A few of you might recall an attempt to protest the ridiculous rule that we can only sit with our families at meals. [Or, y'know, remember how poorly it ended.] I believe enough time has passed, enough to do something about it again.
More and more of us come, all from different pantheons, and the continue rule that we can only sit with our cabin - while it makes sense for us Greeks - hardly makes sense for everyone else. The Romans before coming here lived with their cohorts, they ate where they pleased I believe. [Feel free to correct him on that if he's wrong.] The Egyptian's have nothing like this outside of their Nomes and the Norse... Well most of you I believe didn't know about any of this until Hera appeared to you.
We have been told we must continue to adapt, to work together. And while it may seem small to some - prohibiting us from forming new bonds and strengthening friendships through meals meant for family - weakens us. Not only that, it's pushing our system upon those who have never lived that way.
[He pauses, taking a breath.]
I'm not a fool as to repeat last time. My suggestion for how to go about doing this would be eating outside.
[He's still not sure what Hera's punishment was meant to accomplish, but he's wise to keep that to himself.]
I'll be by my cabin for anyone who wants to discuss this with me.
[And with that he dismisses the rainbow.]

[He snorts. That certainly is a far more simple way of putting it.]

I think we've all had days where we'd rather sit with family, anyway. Some people might feel good about knowing there's a place they'll always belong. [Noah certainly knows people who he's pretty sure would just get lost in anxiety and shyness if told 'sit anywhere.']
