video ; UN: PARTY {left behind crew}

[wardance]

[ Masamune on the video feed looks irritated, but it's hard to tell if his mood is a reflection of what he feels the need to say, the overall status of things, or simply whatever he is (attempting to) eat. It looks like some kind of biscuit but who knows considering the food situation around here other than seafood.

He's standing and it looks like the backdrop of his current location is City Hall. ]

I hate to do this while we're split, but it's probably stuff you will want to all be aware of sooner versus later.

First, our little native friends had nothing to do with the Dakal genocide situation.

Secondly, it's just a hunch [ except not really ], but there might be a couple psychos in the local population over their opinion on worshipping Ryba. So, we might start having a big problem with creepy sacrifice rituals happening to try and gain favor from the sea witch.

[ a short pause as he finally breaks the cracker/chip/wtfever he had been holding between his teeth. ]

If that's not actually already a thing, I mean.


{ EDIT: attachment text; }

- nalawi vs dakal war ended 30-50 years ago
- war started several hundred years ago and had been ongoing rather than a full-out constant barrage of attacks on each other (one battle after another, etc.)
- nalanni loves everyone blahblah

- except dakal when they piss her off for trying to destroy her volcano.
- nalawi convinced nalanni has been taken from them against their will
- all "dark magic", such as rituals and sacrifices and reviving the dead, etc. are not known to the nalawi. ryba's domain. nalawi have worshipped nalanni for several thousand years. ryba and others were worshipped before that.
- one council member ran off wearing crazy eyes. female, dark robes. convinced ryba will "save us all". probably a good idea to find her.
- there's a lot of crazy on these islands.


[ OOC: ooc info details. feel free to thread jack and talk to each other! Masamune will attach a note in a bit with what he learned from his meetings with the Council (I still need to copy the information given from the mods.) Also,feel free to take any info your character reads or heard and run with it to do your own stuff as it's new information discovery/revealed but not a slot for plot participation post/situation.]

We should consider every option to help these people, no matter how unreachable or uncomfortable it is. We need something, not another mess like Michel.

Huh.

[Well, that was... good? He does look a little relieved, anyway]

They have any idea who was responsible? Might be a good thing to know.

[Whatever relief he was feeling over that news is short-lived, though]

I don't think these guys got enough of anything to give that lady what she'd want in exchange for her help... Trying it would be wasted effort. But I don't suppose they'd take our word for it...

[Going 'hey, we saw that god and she isn't interested,' probably wasn't going to work.]

[ ah, how worrying... ]

And still no one knows what happened to Nalanni?

[ she starts wringing her hands. ]

Sh-Shouldn't one of us ask our senior officers for advice? H...Half our crew is missing, and now this? Talks of — of sacrificial rituals and angry gods? They'd know what to do, wouldn't they?

[sekimorinashi]

[ This is ... a bunch of unfamiliar information, and while she really doesn't want to ask about every single thing (even though it's not her fault she wasn't here from the beginning), one thing stands out from the rest. ]

The Dakal genocide?

[Talk of sacrifices is the last thing he wants to hear; that is bad on so many levels.]

How do you know this about the sacrifices? Have you seen it?

Okay, so... how do we see to there not being creepy sacrifice rituals? That was definitely not in the directives, right?

( this guy is ... weirdly chill about terms like genocide and sacrifice rituals... )

Creepy sacrifice rituals? Great. This just keeps getting better.

[ ... not. But at least he has relative experience with creepy sacrifice rituals, so: ]

Okay, so what kind of sacrifice are we talking about? Ritual murder, just people getting killed or, like, specific people? Like, you know, virgins or law enforcers or something, is there a unifying factor? And is there anything that says the ritual will work? [ And hey, maybe some would flag him as crazy for believing it could work, but Stiles knows better. He's seen the rituals working-- it can happen. ]

You managed to uncover something interesting. I had the misfortune of only really catching a few arguments and fights.

I assume you weren't able to secure more precise details regarding the council member who fled?

It sounds like you've been busy.
