VIDEO | USERNAME: HAWKEYE | FORWARD-DATED TO DEC 4TH

[The username suggests it should be Riza's face appearing in front of you, but it isn't. It's Arthur's — you may have spoken to him, if you attended the Order meeting, but if you haven't, he still looks very familiar. He's been at the scene of nearly every shocking event, decidedly un-shocked. There's a reason for that.]

Hello. My name is Arthur, and I speak to you today representing the Order of the Chimera. I've tracked down one of your own who has graciously allowed me to contact you all.

You're likely aware that some of your people are being detained by the guard on charges of treason. This is due in no small part to the Order meeting they were present at. My people have been taken, too. I understand you may oppose the Order, but in this instance, I believe it would benefit us all to work together to free them.

[He pauses for a moment.]

If freeing your companions isn't motivation enough, my brother is in custody as well. Although I hear the guard has invented a barrier to absorb magic, I have no doubts he will eventually escape. However, the longer he is kept, the greater his retribution will become. [Gravely:] If you value the safety of the people of Chantes, or even your own, I suggest you join the cause.

There is little time. We infiltrate the prison tomorrow, regardless of the risks. I assure you the damage will be much greater should Michel grow even angrier.

Comments

[rosing]

[ Unconscious is fine, probably better. But she's seen what the guards have done to their friends inside and she's angry about it.

Attached to this post is a list of guards she's seen so far, organized by name and a small brief description, their schedules and comments about whether they've hurt the prisoners through interrogation. ]

[kamiizumi]

You're thorough.

[And that is wonderful. He can work with this.]

How long have you been watching them?

[rosing]

Since everyone inside was caught.

[ Guess who didn't have anything...to do... ]

[kamiizumi]

I want to take a quick run around the area to get my bearings, then map this out to get a better picture. If you're free in a couple hours from now, would you be willing to help me get this down on paper?

[Metaphorically speaking, since he's slightly more inclined to scratch it out in the dirt, get a picture on the network, and then destroy it, but...you know.]

[rosing]

I'm free.

[ She'll even bring marbles and use them to stimulate the guards real-time. ]

[kamiizumi]

South side of the outskirts, near the west entrance to the Odette Memorial. Does that work for you?

[rosing]

Yes. I'll be there.

[ Early, even. ]

[kamiizumi]

Okay. Two hours and I'll be there.

[That ought to be time to run the city like three times. He'd hate to miss anything!]
