MASS TEXT; USERNAME: HAWKEYE

[In the end, she opts for the efficiency of a brief written message. (The message functionality of the jewelry still amazes her from time to time, but she's becoming increasingly fond of how fast it makes communication with others.)]

My name is Riza Hawkeye. I'm a military officer from the nation of Amestris. [Vague credentials, for anyone that really needs them.] There are a lot of us here gathered from different places and times, with different skills and areas of knowledge. I've spoken with a few others and we've agreed it would be beneficial for all of us to have a database of skills to pull from, both for this mission and otherwise.

[Most likely 'otherwise'; she can't be the only one suspicious of ALASTAIR after what happened in Anwick.]

If you're willing to provide a brief listing of the skills you possess, magical [because that's a thing that exists, apparently??] or otherwise, it would be greatly appreciated. If you're uncomfortable using the communications device I'm also happy to meet with you in person.

[And if you're not willing that's cool too. Everyone's got their secrets.]

[powerdriven]

You're right. But we're forced to deal with the scraps that we've got.

[ so he's moved on from dwelling on that part. but to answer her question... ]

I serve as an officer in a recon corps. Two from my squad are here with me.

As far as I see it, the objective is fairly simple. Gathering all of us together, I can't imagine our skills won't be enough. I've already seen all kinds of outrageous powers coming out of this group, so it seems that we have a well-rounded place to start.

[strictdiscipline]

[Ah, hello fellow military comrade.]

We're still missing a direction to head in. I haven't been very successful in obtaining information on the events that have occurred. We'll need to find some way to pool that knowledge as well.

[powerdriven]

Then isn't that the direction to head in?

[ because he's had a similar lack of success, and has been going on that, even if it's not very specific. ]

We're going to need people to get in contact with the monarchy. The same goes for anyone we have who's not human in getting a straight story from the goblins. It has to be discreet, but if the commoners don't have one to dish up, there's nowhere else to turn.

[strictdiscipline]

I have a potential lead on someone who may be able to gain favor with the goblins. I've also spoken with a few who claim to be kings in their home nations but...

[Well, she can't say she would really recommend either of them.]

[powerdriven]

Is that right
Then I hope you'll share if they should find anything out

[ because he's interested in hearing it himself. ]

I met someone like that too so I think I know what you're saying
There's more than one?

[strictdiscipline]

One of them claims to be able to do anything imaginable to man. The other goes by the username of 'king' but speaks more like someone from the countryside than nobility.

[powerdriven]

If these are our only choices, there's got to be a better way.

[strictdiscipline]

[She can't disagree there.]

I haven't found anything yet, unfortunately. I'll be sure to let you know if I do.

[Which leads to:]

Is 'levi' your name as well?

[powerdriven]

Yeah. You're Hawkeye?

I'll do the same. Though I've got a feeling that the longer the locals here are set on rejecting us, the more likely it is that something is going to happen before any of us can control it.

[strictdiscipline]

Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. I appreciate it.

[His words aren't particularly comforting, but she can understand the reasoning behind them. Best find a way to integrate with them somehow, and quickly. But in the meantime:]

Let me know if you need any assistance from me.

[powerdriven]

All right. You, too.

[ he doesn't want to force it just yet... but if these recruits digging for info with the goblins don't pull up anything good, they might not have any other choice. ]
