VIDEO | USERNAME: HAWKEYE | FORWARD-DATED TO DEC 4TH

[futurologists]

[The username suggests it should be Riza's face appearing in front of you, but it isn't. It's Arthur's — you may have spoken to him, if you attended the Order meeting, but if you haven't, he still looks very familiar. He's been at the scene of nearly every shocking event, decidedly un-shocked. There's a reason for that.]

Hello. My name is Arthur, and I speak to you today representing the Order of the Chimera. I've tracked down one of your own who has graciously allowed me to contact you all.

You're likely aware that some of your people are being detained by the guard on charges of treason. This is due in no small part to the Order meeting they were present at. My people have been taken, too. I understand you may oppose the Order, but in this instance, I believe it would benefit us all to work together to free them.

[He pauses for a moment.]

If freeing your companions isn't motivation enough, my brother is in custody as well. Although I hear the guard has invented a barrier to absorb magic, I have no doubts he will eventually escape. However, the longer he is kept, the greater his retribution will become. [Gravely:] If you value the safety of the people of Chantes, or even your own, I suggest you join the cause.

There is little time. We infiltrate the prison tomorrow, regardless of the risks. I assure you the damage will be much greater should Michel grow even angrier.

If imminent execution is a concern -- which is unlikely, given that they have already been imprisoned for a week -- then ALASTAIR can stage a raid tomorrow, by ourselves. This man has offered neither information nor strength of arms which would make it easier for us to work with him than to work alone. Moreover, he has offered nothing that would make it worth our while to save his brother, especially when his brother seems largely responsible for the problems facing Chantes.

And that is why it is worth your while to take fifteen minutes to bargain with him before offering to do his work for him.

My siblings, incidentally, are rather difficult to imprison.

The most important thing I'm worried about are the lives that are in that jail cell. My friends are in there.

I'm not offering my sword soley to him. I'm also offering it to anyone else who is willing to break in as well. If his brother gets out, so be it. I'm much more concerned about the others right now. I won't let them suffer another day in there.
