[ WITH THE FURY OF A THOUSAND PASSIONATE SUNS, IT'S IIDA ( "who's iida", some of you might ask. well, this is iida. ): ]

OPHELIA, MAY WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION! Thank you in advance! Ciri and I have been working together to gather information that our group may find pertinent to our work here in Drakstaden. She has been fantastic to work with, and we hope you are able to make something of our hard work and findings. Pst. It's all you -- !

Ah, please. The compliments aren’t needed — [ She clears her throat a bit awkwardly, trying to hide the tone of her flustered words. ] Loose lips speaking distaste of the current government have most certainly caused problems for this world, however… We have found a bit more information. Some names which may prove useful if we intend to find a successor. One that could do well to ensure the voices of the lower, middle, and upper class are all heard equally and with as much weight.

[ If he had a paper to wave, he'd be waiving it. Instead, y'all get Robot Hand Gestures (TM). ] We've managed to gather a list of names, all of them imprisoned dissenters: Oskar Bjorkson, Elsi Simonsdottir, Valdor Fritsson, Gabriel Ymirson, Lilla Sagasdottir, Camilla Noelsdottir.

We don't know much more than that, but we wanted to bring our findings before you all and see what you thought. I know we discussed several options on the entry from our guildmates "lokiofasgard" and "beloved" and that many of you already have pursued your own paths. To that end! If you had any ideas or current work that might benefit from this information, it is yours. Personally, we had the idea that these people might be useful in upholding part of Ophelia's mission: protecting the lower class from complete eradication.

Honestly, all of these people could very much be as horrible for the job as they are great — do we feel it’s worth the risk to… “liberate” them somehow and possibly include them in Rost’s plans?

[ TL;DR: So, Iida and Ciri rustled up the names of some of the imprisoned dissenters. What Ophelia wants to ( or does not want to do ) with this information is up for debate. This is backdated to before the Electric Sheep event went live, for the reasons you'd expect?? ]

[ The scoffing noise she makes is half-amused. ]

I wonder where you learned to speak like someone three times your age. A lot of responsibility young, probably.

[evenslimmer]

Could be. [ Definitely is. ] But I'm not about to discuss my life history publicly. The internet taught me to be careful about that.

[ Once again, a 100% serious statement. ]

[killtime]

Don't worry, kiddo. I'm not that interested. Don't even remember your name.

[evenslimmer]

Your sense of humor could really use some work.

[killtime]

Pot, kettle.

[evenslimmer]

I never pretended to have one in the first place.

[killtime]

Don't worry, I think you're hilarious.

[evenslimmer]

Wow, really? You'd think that one would have gone out of style by now.

[ Get better putdowns, Grandma. ]

[killtime]

I was half-sincere, but you killed that pretty good just now.

[evenslimmer]

It's a gift of mine.

[killtime]

And here I thought your gift had something to do with your weird eyewear.

[evenslimmer]

That's another thing entirely.

[killtime]

Whatever it is, probably not as useful as a sense of humor.

[evenslimmer]

Yeah, well. Too bad we don't get to pick and choose our stats.
