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.

He's not the only one with a powerful brother.

[ she looks at her nails. ]

All we need is a place to detain him and a paper bag.

[becauses]

A paper bag.

[selfimage]

Trust me on this one.

[ she needs a place to put runes. ]

[becauses]

[ The promise of a trickster. And it wasn't as though Sieh had done the open-heart surgery himself, but their father had died -- ]

You're helpful, but I still expect an explanation.

[selfimage]

Precaution.

[ she says smoothly. ]

We'll need somewhere to put him.

[becauses]

[ She folds her arms and narrows her eyes, not even going to bother with a verbal reprimand.

They both know a normal bag won't hold a magic-user, and she expects an explanation before they go further with this. ]

[ she stares at her for a moment, twitches, and then puts her hand on her forehead, tossing her hair back. ]

By Od's grizzly, crumb-catching beard, fine.

I can scribble runes in the back, make sure he can't hear or speak while we kidnap him.

[becauses]

[ She nods serenely, as if to say now, was that so hard? ]

You take Michel, and I'll take the other one. Hiding is... a talent of mine.

[selfimage]

And a place to keep him? We'll need to figure out what to do with him once we have him.

[becauses]

The woods or the warehouse we used earlier. The warehouse would be easier for you to find me, should it become necessary.
