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.

[heavyhitter]

Nah, I probably am. Do you see all this liveliness? I'm practically rolling in it. [ she smiles brightly and points to herself, just in case he couldn't tell what she was talking about ]

[respired]

[Koltira is unmoved.]

I'm not inclined to test that, in any case.

[heavyhitter]

Are you sure? Could be a great way to spend a day.

[ a beat ]

Or a night, in this case. That sounds sexier than I meant it, though.

[respired]

[He squints at her.]

Do you enjoy pain?

[heavyhitter]

I mean, there's a time and place for everything in the right context, you know? [ a pause, then a grin ] But mostly I just think you couldn't do anything.

[respired]

[He makes a 'tch' noise in his throat.]

We were not brought here to fight each other.

[heavyhitter]

We probably weren't brought here to not fight each other.

[respired]

[He gestures at the sky.]

We were brought here to solve a problem.

[heavyhitter]

Oh, that, yeah. I dunno, it's not really that bad. You're not gonna get any sunburns like this, right?

[respired]

That's hardly the issue.
