video; un: Glee Shoth

[ 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.

[ It's a good thing this is audio because he'd see her pursing her lips. The lack of the sun is like a personal insult to her. ]

The time that would be sunset in a proper world.

Right, right, but don't be surprised if that means it takes us all a while to get there. "Tardy" for one person might be early for another! [He's entirely going to use it as an excuse to be late.]

[becauses]

You're right, there could be differences of opinion.

You'll just have to arrive by my definition of punctual, to keep things running smoothly.

[ There's a very small smile on her lips. ]

[hardtohandle]

Ahh, right, right, I would hate to cause a snag. What, would you have to come out and find me? [he's hedging his bets that's too much effort]

[becauses]

I will, if necessary.

But you'll be better off if I don't have to.
