In the spirit of Spring, name someone you have a crush on~. Don't be shy now, I'm sure there's at least one or two people here that makes your heartbeat fast. ;3

[She's in a fantastic mood, please let her gush over how cute you guys are. Feel free to tag each other too~]

I'm afraid I must be brief.

Feral Hawk is no longer in Avalon.

To his friends, his employee Master Gokudera, I am truly sorry.

Thank you for your time.

[It has been a bit since Claire had the spoons to address the network, but she knows when she's in a bad place, and knows that talking is something that helps her cope...so she opens the feed to make some sort of broadcast.

It sits open for a moment, the only sound the shifting of clawed feet on wood and Claire's breath. She hesitates, unsure of what she wants to say, until her familiar's deep baritone voice rumbles out.]

Ask the question, Claire.

[She sighs, and finally spits out what she'd come up with.]

So. I lost someone important to me. Pretty much the person that was motivating me to give a shit about...basically everything. I don't want to talk much about that, because that won't bring her back, but to those that knew her, I know she'll think fondly of you.

What I do want to talk about is finding that motivation. What has you getting up in the morning, this far from home? Why do you get out and do stuff? I wanna know what helps other people focus beyond just survival instinct.

[Claire pauses, starting to say something but cutting herself off before the words turn into a simple apology. Re-centering herself with an audible breath, she goes on.]

I know, I know, philosophical questions are weird and probably out of place on this network thing, but humor me, okay?

[The video starts with smoke billowing into the night sky, and as the camera pans down, the source becomes plainly clear. The edge of the Brocéliande woodland is ablaze, and the fire is starting to spread. Silhouetted against this ominous backdrop is the figure of Caster, using subtle magical manipulation to make her usual, heavy cloak cast an even darker shadow than it should as it billowed out around her.

Her eyes can't be seen under the hood of her cloak, but even in this darkness a broken smirk can be seen across the Witch of Betrayal's face. The twisted ritual dagger she held gleamed a sickening red in the light of the flames.]

( Hecate curse you all )

[ooc: The log itself will go up tonight/tomorrow for getting involved stopping this mess- note that if you have a heroic character who'd ICly get involved but you don't want to deal with this mess OOC, she's recording late at night in somewhere with ropey network signal, so feel free to assume the memo didn't get through or that your character couldn't track her down in the chaos.

Also- threadhopping totally welcome for this one.]

[cw: sounds of NPC murder in background, talk of war, Yuber will probably be gross and say violent things in comments.]

[There is a slight rustling of footsteps before Yuber speaks. His deep voice, which last month was sometimes half-crazed from his first time experiencing illness, is silky and calm.]

Far too many people here seem to genuinely think that a subtle hand is needed to deal with Celliwig.

Why?

Negotiating with the Queen of Elphame by trade could take years. Offering ourselves for fae rituals and trials could take centuries or more. Those are centuries that we do not have.

The barrier holding back the calamity could collapse before we make any inroads in establishing a working relationship with the fae nation--ah.

[Someone nearby seems to speak to him. Their words are not clear but it sounds argumentative.]

Please give me a moment.

[More rustling as Yuber tucks his phone into his tightly fitting suit jacket. With the device's microphone against his body sounds are muffled now. There seems to be a terrified shout and a thump but maybe it's just ambient noise from the city? Surely the other person, if there indeed was another person, is okay...

The rustling gets louder as the phone is pulled out again.]

Hmph.

As I was saying a show of strength is the only path forward. For centuries Camelot has failed to earn passage to Celliwig, why would this change now?

Stop beating around the bush.

Take the city, bring it to its knees and prove to the Queen that we are not a nation content to dance on puppet strings any longer.

So people have been talking about all our choices regarding how to deal with the fae. I think no matter what we decide we do also need to consider something else. We need to consider how disorganized we are if shit happens and whatever we choose fails.

Whether we like it or not, this place is our home for now. I think no matter what we do next, we need to get more organized about protecting this place if shit happens. For all we know even choosing a peaceful option could lead to the fae invading later on if we do something to piss them off. We can all hope otherwise, but I've always felt it better to be strong enough to deal with whatever happens.

Okay, so I suck at this whole speaking on the network thing, but just wanted to know if there would be interest in forming a defense focused militia and what sort of skills and experience we have to work with. That and if there is someone better than me at leading and training people. I'm a good fighter, but I know that no one besides me could learn to fight the way I did. I'm also better suited for figuring out the best way to stab the enemy.

[And then with that he'll go ahead and end the message.]

—ing something. I don't know, it made a noise and when I picked it up, and my finger slipped across the damn screen and now I don't know what I'm looking at.

[The murmuring of another, somewhat higher-pitched voice. Words can't be made out, but it sounds amused.]

Holly please, I genuinely have no idea what I'm doing with this thing. Can you help? Look it's [Pause, sounds of things being shifted, Chris might be picking it up.] ...it's showing a portrait of me now. Holly, why is it showing a portrait of me? Wait, no it's...some sort of mirror function? Why would...ah!

[A *thump* sound as the phone hits the floor. Immediately a picture is uploaded to the network; Chris' face, half off-screen, tilted at an odd angle with a look of surprise as the phone drops from her hand after she accidentally selfies herself. Behind her is Holly, her familiar, hovering in the air and looking very amused. More shifting sounds as the phone is picked up.]

What the blazes...my upload has been completed? Load of what?

[Audible laughter in the background]

And may I ask what is so funny?

[A deep, rumbling baritone voice speaks.]

I am here.

Who has summoned me?
