[ Oyez, oyez, oyez, you’ve got a call on your magical crystal. Pick up the phone and you’ll see Glee, looking serene, confident, and in her element in (1) organizing things and (2) telling people what to do. ]

It has been almost two months since we were conscripted by ALASTAIR, and we have yet to meet, introduce ourselves, and discuss what we’ve learned in person and in an orderly fashion. In light of recent… developments, increased cooperation will become a necessity to pool what we’ve learned and plan a deliberate way forward.

I expect all of you at the red warehouse between the commoner's district and the outskirts, six days from now at sundown. For those of you inclined to provoke tensions with local law enforcement, incarceration is not an excuse for tardiness or absence.

[In wavering, flickering light by torch--Ban found himself snickering when he listenedin to Glee.]

'Incarceration is not an excuse'? Ain't it an excellent oooone ♪?

[becauses]

No. I'm sure you can avoid brawling for the next week.

[perma_banned]

Paaaaaass ♪. Actin' adult-like ain't at all interesting.

[becauses]

If you find yourself in jail, I will collect you myself.

And return you after the meeting.

[perma_banned]

Ah, reaaaaally~♪? If you want, I won't mind you tryin' to break me outta the castle dungeon. Caaaaaaause, you'll probably die!

[Not that he wasn't encouraging reckless fighting and what would probably be an awesome thing to watch if it were a success.]

[becauses]

I'll translocate in and translocate out. It will be rather dull for all of us, and a waste of my time.

All the more reason for you to keep out of trouble.

[perma_banned]

Ah? The hell're you talkin' about?

[The word 'translocate' was a bit familiar, but Ban wasn't aware of anyone who had that ability other than Merlin.

So, he didn't think it would be an issue.]

[becauses]

You could call it appearing and disappearing, though that would not be entirely precise.

[perma_banned]

[Shit. It was exactly what he thought she was talking about.]

You think it's alright to let anybody know you have that kinda ability? I'll kill ya' if you try and use it on me.

[becauses]

[ That gets a raised eyebrow from her, invisible on this audio channel. Her voice stays modulated and composed. ]

Why?

[perma_banned]

'Cause, me losin' my neck is my prerogative. It ain't yours.

[He was only getting executed to pass the time--and, dragging other people into it was the opposite of what he wanted.]

[becauses]

Until our employment is terminated, your neck is my concern.

[perma_banned]

I ain't gonna be babysat by some lady I ain't even met.

[becauses]

We seem to be at an impasse.

I can't babysit you unless we meet, and we won't meet unless I babysit you.

[perma_banned]

Guess you'll have to wait till my release.

Won't be loooong~.

[dailydouble]

I believe you already know the answer to that. She's unlikely to change her mind.

[perma_banned]

Just means she's duuuumb~. Bein' wrapped up in chains at all yer joints is a pretty good excuse for not bein' able to move!

[dailydouble]

Ah, but the truly intelligent would be able to avoid arrest entirely. No matter what they involved themselves in.

[perma_banned]

Ain't that unfair? If that were the case, I'd be one hell of a stupid guy.

[dailydouble]

That would be the implication. Unless you do manage to avoid arrest.

[perma_banned]

Ahhh? Well, it ain't like I'm tryin' to disprove that, pal.

[dailydouble]

Should I wish you luck with your future arrest?

[perma_banned]

Luck in that I hope it ain't as dull a stay as this one?

[dailydouble]

Perhaps, if that's all you want out of it.

[perma_banned]

[The sound of dripping water stood out as Ban went deathly silent.]

...Guess I was really bored at the time. Probably gonna still be, after this is all done.
