VIDEO / USERNAME: LEVI

[powerdriven]

[ with his wrist raised to grant the magic bracelet a view of his stern face, the backdrop of his makeshift stable in the outskirts, it's apparent that Levi hasn't gone to any special preparations to make this announcement. however, he also hasn't wasted any time between the offer of Arthur's and now to corral ALASTAIR attention of his own. they've waited long enough. ]

The Order of the Chimera would have us plan a jailbreak for tomorrow.

And keen as I'm not on caving to the demands of terrorists, unlike that disaster in the streets a few weeks ago, this time we have the foresight to organize ourselves. I know some of you have your doubts. But whether or not we're helping those fools out in the process, where I'm concerned, we can't leave our people hanging in the balance.

So while the rest of you figure out how to deal with Michel, I say we combine our efforts.

[ simultaneous operations or otherwise, their downfall is being uninformed or unprepared for each others' movements. and while it may not be clear, due to a number of circumstances in which he's seen some less than reputable behavior among recruits... ] Our success hinges on snipping every loose thread.

To account for that, our most suitable people should lead the operation. But don't take it personally. Organized into squads, we can draw on all of our recruits' unique strengths. That includes you rookies.

I know the lot of you may not be so bent on following orders willy nilly, but be reasonable. We'll receive no higher guidance with ALASTAIR leaving us to our own devices, and we've got better chances in a team willing to ally themselves with loyalty than in a disjointed mob of lone wolves. Take heed to the fact that your cooperation with each other will determine the fate of our teammates' lives.

[ now then. with that out of the way, the next matter at hand is the allocation of these squads. ]

Riza. Pearl. Lend me a hand, will you? [ this is his way of saying he deems you two "suitable." ]

The rest of you: a basic rundown of your abilities would be of help. I'm not gonna force your hand, but we need to sort ourselves out somehow.

[ and considering the influx of new recruits as well as the existence of those he's yet to meet: ] My name's Levi. I'll be working to man the assault. If those two agree to it, they'll help me manage you lot, so speak up to one of us if you need something.


( ooc; this is an IC plotting/organization post for jailbreak shenanigans! threadjacking and posting your own threads is welcome and encouraged.

the squads will be focused on support (pearl) and assault (levi & riza) but it is up to you and your characters which you want to join up with. we could also really use some coordination efforts. that said, you're free to make your own, be a rebel and not help at all, or anything else you can think of. go wild. c: )

[hardtohandle]

[There is a long pause while he considers.] ... what's your height in centimeters? [He knows it's rude to ask a lady's three sizes, but this one seems important. If she can't fit in a building, then-] ... Meters?

[30ft]

Why is that important?!

[ Sorry Kashuu, she's a bit sensitive...

Her voice lowers, teeny tiny and barely audible. ]

8.8 meters.

[ that's a lie, more like 9.1 ]

[hardtohandle]

[The delicate heart of a maiden must be treated with the utmost sensitivity. King of Sensitivity in 3... 2... 1.] No way! That's gigantic! You could probably just step on the jail!

[30ft]

It's not THAT big! I'm one of the smallest in my clan!

[ omfg this isn't even important right now, but apparently it's very important. ]

How about I step on you instead, jerk?!

[hardtohandle]

What kind of places do you even live in?! [Would they need to put up a giant tent around her???] Wherever you choose to stay, I prooooo~mise, I'll stay far away!

[30ft]

I live wherever I want. Caves, mostly. What's it to you?

And good, I wouldn't want to run into you anyway!

[hardtohandle]

Living in a cave? I almost feel sorry for you! Allll~most.

[30ft]

What's wrong with caves?

And I don't need you to feel sorry for me. I feel sorry for you, because if I ever see you in person I'm kicking your ass!

[hardtohandle]

[The vague sense of self-preservation Kashuu has tells him to never, ever, ever open his mouth around the giant woman. Just in case she recognizes his voice. It's not enough to keep him from egging her on, though.]

Caves are dark, messy, grimy... I barely like going in them! And you just sleep in them...

Eeeh, and I doubt you built a giant bathtub...

[30ft]

What do bathtubs have to do with anything?

Wait, what are you implying?!

[hardtohandle]

I think you know exactly what I'm implying... maybe, before I even see you, I'll smell you...

[30ft]

[ The exclamation comes loud, and so frantic she almost sounds like she's going to cry. ]

I don't smell bad!! If anything you humans and your gross habits smell bad! I bet I could smell you across town!

[ Her argument is getting even dumber, but this isn't a time where she can be rational. ]

[hardtohandle]

Well, [this is a feigned "delicate" pause] your nose is probably big enough to...

[30ft]

[ kashuu can probably hear the vein popping out of her forehead right now ]

Who are you?! See if I ever help you with anything!

voice; un: hawkeye

[strictdiscipline]

[zooms in on this because wat]

Are you really 8.8 meters in height?

[30ft]

And not a centimeter more!

[ this is a lie, the real number is 9.1

because obviously an entire foot is important ]

[strictdiscipline]

[y u gotta lie to her diane

But w/e an extra foot or two doesn't really matter in the greater scheme of things. How they can best put Diane to use is at the forefront of her mind.]

How much impact do regular sized swords and bullets have on you?

[30ft]

It depends on what kind of magical enchantments the sword has... or who's wielding it. But just a regular old sword? [ She scoffs. Hopefully that's enough of an answer.

But also-- ]

What are bullets?

[strictdiscipline]

Small projectiles fired at high speed meant to injure targets. [Recited like she's reading out of a textbook.] Weapons, basically, but if swords won't harm you, I doubt bullets will either. Are you able to cover larger distances as well then?

[Maybe they can recruit Diane for travel purposes....]

[30ft]

Oh, yeah. I think I've seen some of the recruits use weapons like that. I'm not too worried about them.

[ She nods, then remembers Riza can't see her. ]

Let me guess-- you want me to carry people.

[strictdiscipline]

[Hole in one! You're so good at this, Diane.]

If you're willing. The recruits currently imprisoned have been starved and mistreated for weeks. Most of them won't be in good condition to efficiently travel on their own.

[30ft]

As long as they don't pull my hair or complain too much, I don't mind.

I can keep you updated on how many people I'm bringing back, too.

[strictdiscipline]

[With a hint of disapproval:]

Let's hope no one is that childish.

[Though there's definitely a few around here she wouldn't put it past to try something stupid like that.]

I'd appreciate the updates though. [And because it's polite—] What's your name?

[30ft]

I think you're giving some of the people here too much credit.

[ She beams. ] I'm the one and only Serpent's Sin of Envy, Diane. But just Diane works.

[strictdiscipline]

[APPARENTLY...........lookin' at you, Lancer. But ah, what an interesting title.]

Is 'Serpent's Sin of Envy' an official title where you come from?

[Or just something she made up like half the people around here.]
