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.

True. [To both the idiots comment and his smugness, but he goes on--] But if you act like that to their faces, you're not gonna get far when we all have no way to get out if we hate it. It's just advice.

[Advice he's betting will fall on deaf ears, but at least this conversation is fun enough.]

[Not so much deaf ears as it is Rick honestly and absolutely does not care what people think about him. He's always right, and it's not his job to convince people they're being dumb.]

Wow, that's fascinating. [It's not.] Look, Frasier, save your sociology lesson for somebody who cares. I do what I want. Fuck you.

[He's about to respond with something along the lines of "live your life you crazy old coot" but--]

Frasier? Who the hell is that supposed to be, some kind of alternate-universe Freud?

[ricksybusiness]

What? No, it-it-it's... the guy from Cheers, tossed salads and scrambled eggs. Right? The guy from Cheers, he was on a TV show called Cheers. Then there was a spinoff.

[hsalf]

Cheers? What -- oh wait, I think I've heard of that. Isn't it the stupid sitcom from the 80s about a group of people drinking all day at some bar? It lasted for over a decade?

private audio

[ricksybusiness]

You're telling me you know Cheers lasted over a decade but you don't know what Frasier is.

[hsalf]

Excuse me for not educating myself in every terrible sitcom that only "television historians" care about. You wanna talk about a good sitcom, then Spin City is easily the best of the 90s. Starred that kid from Back to the Future.

[ricksybusiness]

Alright, thiurrrp -- this conversation's in a spiral. I'm pulling out, broh. Anything else?

[hsalf]

Hm. Nah. But at least remember my advice for a future where acting arrogant bites you hard.

[He doesn't sound biting when he says it, but he thinks it's true.]

[ricksybusiness]

Yeah, not likely. Not worth the synapses. Laterrrr.
