Hello. :-)

Everyone patched up and out of the slammer? Good.

It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? First dragons that were intended to end a world, now political conflicts between parties and the compelling mystery as to WHY??? the whole MISSING SUN thing, and WHO STARTED IT?? thing, etc etc. Oh- and there's also that nagging little question of what's going to happen if we do succeed in the way that we're meant to. (Insert question marks here) But forgot that for now, we can do the whole "share your multiversal anecdotes" later.

[ goblins, humans, goblin-human conflict and everything else in between. there's still fuel on the fire and a conflict and a sun missing. he's wondered if their presence here was enough to sway the tides of fate in ALASTAIR's favor, and that's left him with nothing but a sour taste in his mouth. ]

Alas, here's the thing! Despite the mission, we're still all on our own. :'( But all's not lost! I'm here to offer a little tidbit that I found rifling through some paperwork that someone oh-so-fortunately left out in the open. I just happened to be glancing over. [ "happened to." ]

There have been some very curious disappearances. 4, in particular.

Agatha Belrose
Felix Poirier

With all the talk of sacrifice I thought it may be preferable to find these people and, well, possibly who took them and where they've gone. You know, saving them from the whole maybe-but-we-don't-know sacrificial death thing. It sounds very unpleasant, and with a possible worrisome outcome.

[ he's never really been much of a team player, but getting the brunt of the blame if someone's sacrificed generally wasn't in his best interest. ]

Now, where to do with these names? Ideas? Comments? Concerns? I'll leave the floor open.

Oh, you know. Confusing them. Leaving them wondering. That kind of thing.

[keystaff]

making it seem like the situation is worse than it actually is? i'm not sure if that might help or make everyone more panicked.

[selfimage]

It will when our dear captors find out.

[keystaff]

You don't think this would get us in trouble?

[selfimage]

I can only hope.

[keystaff]

if people do try this, pretending to go missing and we get in trouble, it'll be your fault.

[....Well. She is eleven.]

[selfimage]

Getting in trouble only means you're doing it right.

[ quiet with your trouble-maker logic, Loki. ]

[keystaff]

or. the opposite.

[Loki plz.]

[selfimage]

The opposite of right is only more right.

[keystaff]

no, i'm pretty sure the opposite of right is 'wrong'.

[selfimage]

Well, you have heard the phrase "two wrongs make a right," haven't you? :-)

[keystaff]

i have. but i'm pretty sure it goes 'two wrongs don't make a right'.

[selfimage]

Details, details! Wrong according to who? Wrong in terms of what happened back in Anwick?

[keystaff]

with the dragons? i'm sure they have their reasons.

[Keeping a species alive and all. Though Sakura does worry on the implications from that particular announcement on the dragon's fate being to grow up and destroy worlds.]

[selfimage]

Unfortunately those reasons include stripping others of a free future.

[keystaff]

you mean us. i know. but if they didn't need us, they wouldn't have brought us here in the first place. and we still don't know how to get home besides doing what we can to help.

[selfimage]

Well, I suppose that depends on what's more important, isn't it?
What's a few worlds toward the goal of home?

[keystaff]

but these other worlds are someone else's home! we can't just let them get destroyed without trying something to help. we can figure other ways.

[selfimage]

You're catching on.

[keystaff]

i am? really?

[selfimage]

But I wouldn't expect much out of our employers. Not until we've got the lot of it.

[keystaff]

oh. i suppose. still, we have to try do what we can. i'm sure if we do need help, we can ask. or try to at least.
