[PUBLIC CHANNEL] DAY 55 - OFFICIAL WARDEN ANNOUNCEMENT

[osteothropy]

[The announcement is made around lunch hour, so you better be awake.]

Alright guys, listen up. We got some news yesterday, and it heavily implied that we have a crew of Summer Court fae tailing us as we speak. We're scheduled to be here for another six days... so, in the meantime, we gotta stop things up a bit.

First up, no more solo research. If you're going to be away from the carnival grounds, make sure you're in pairs - or even better, groups of three or four. I know Psi always tells everybody to do this, but this time it's for real. I don't want anybody wandering out there by themselves.

Lets try to work it so that every group has at least one person with a quick travel ability. That means people who can teleport, travel through shadows, fly really fast, or whatever. The faster everyone can collect back at the carnival, the faster we can get out of here if something goes wrong.

On that note, leave your radios on. Radios are not optional.

Gongenzaka, Syrlya, Amethyst, Shura, Zangetsu. Spread out between any groups forming so that I can have a point of contact. It's your job to make sure that people get moving as soon as an evacuation is called. Prioritize running over fighting. There's no point in dealing with these guys if we don't have to.



...Lastly, is anybody compiling these stories? If you haven't made a copy of any relevant stories you found, do that now. If you don't know how, get somebody else to do it for you. We should get them all into a binder or something.

Anyway, that's it. Oh, uh... if you have quick travel abilities, maybe speak up here? I've got teleportation available for any group that needs it. I'm not picky.

[Feel free to mingle/hijack threads as necessary.]

Comments

[betheman]

Understood!

I, the man Gongenzaka, do not have a 'fast travel' persay, but...

Aside from having Yuuya with us, we'll utilize our tracking abilities as much as we're able; it'll be easier for us to organize an evacuation if we can catch someone coming before they actually attack after all.

Beyond that, I am rather unfortunately limited to however quickly I can run, as much as I, the man Gongenzaka, can carry others in the same moment..!

[To be fair though, horses- and even bears- run at least car-speed when pushing it-]

[osteothropy]

[Which would be enough, if this library wasn't the size of a city.]

Either stick close to the carnival grounds or find someone who can get you back quicker. You're not going to be able to run the whole way back if you're miles away.

[bananaspeedrider]

I have my D-Wheel, if that counts!

[osteothropy]

Can you carry more than one person on it?

[soft_focus]

Oh! [Smoll Assist Incoming-]

Um...I'm taking pictures of all the books I wanted to bring, but can't, but...

...We could do that for these, too. It's a camera that never runs out of film! I'm getting better at taking pictures of the pages too, now... [Quite good, actually, since the entire point was to be able to compile and read them later.]

So... ...I guess, if anyone wants me to do that, with my camera, I can?

[Anyway. More pressing matters.]

.........What if you don't think your partner can run..? ....at all....

...I have my little bike, but...that can't carry them...

[LOCAL CHILD AFRAID FOR IDIOT SNAKE MAN]

[osteothropy]

Then you're gunna want to team up with someone that can carry big passengers. I can teleport you if necessary, but I don't want to over-promise my availability if some kind of attack happens.

[He does't have the best track record, anyway.]

[mirrortide]

I can fly, pretty fast? And probably carry more than one person. It might not be comfortable, though.

[Whats this? Is Lapis Lazuli actually offering to help?]

[osteothropy]

Heh. Doesn't have to be. Pretty sure they'd just be happy to be leaving, in the moment.

It's good to know who's a strong enough flier to carry a passenger. If you can pair up with someone who you can carry, then that's at least two people covered.

[scientificist]

We're being followed? Hunted down? Then why aren't we leaving? The library is useful, yes...but we're not an army.

[osteothropy]

Mostly 'cause we don't know when or where they will catch up with us. If we start running now, we have no way of knowing when it's okay to stop.

[spaghettimonster]

You know how quickly I can move! Let me know if it's not fast enough.

But, I was thinking just the other day... If I held onto a blaster, do you think I could fly with it?

[Between them, Sans is undoubtedly the expert in keeping a blaster summoned for hours. Or weeks and months on end. He'd have a better idea how much of drain it could be.]

[osteothropy]

Don't see why not.

If you combine your blue magic with the blaster summon, you should be able to carry a whole group. Lighten the load, then let their natural levitation carry you forward.

[pipers_son]

Ha... Figures they wouldn't want ta leave us alone for too long.

I'll keep my eyes out. Wouldn't want ta give ya anymore work, after all.

[osteothropy]

Do me a favour and try to keep a head count on your performers. They're the biggest group we've got, by far.

[kingsroads]

I can travel via reflections, whether mirror, water, or ice, and use the surfaces as doorways for others to pass through. As long as nobody disrupts any of the mirrors in the carnival, I should be able to get people back easily.

[ it's all said in a bit of a grumpy tone b/c yeah, Strange is still a bit sulky from the various dumb arguments he's been having the past few days. ]

[osteothropy]

How big of a mirror do you need for that?

[Sans talks as if there was never any dumb argument even though there definitely was.]

[sunflowerfields]

I also have a camera, if anyone needs to make pictures of something. I'm afraid that I don't have the means to defend myself or to travel quickly, though...

[osteothropy]

That's fine, as long as you stay close to the carnival or travel in a group. There's plenty of people that can give you a lift.

[anti_nonsense]

Since it came up on the radios the other day, I've been compiling information we've all found on the Silver Mirror and its related topics... Lilith, Eden, the Beasts. We've got a lot of valuable information that could use some arranging, contextualizing, and summarizing.

If somebody's found something valuable that might fit in this compilation, contact me.

[osteothropy]

Good. Thanks, pal.

Sounds like exactly what I had in mind. I think we'll figure out a lot more if we can cross-reference and take a look at specific wording.

[criticallyfucked]

I can... ha ha, I can carry a couple of passengers...! Assuming of course that they don't mind the necessity of touching me.

[He got Ginko out of the concert and Reira out of the Grei invasion, after all!]

Or, if you don't want to handle garbage--

I can make things that can.

[moonfang]

Gyahahah! Foster's not a bad ride -- just boney. Talk about sore asses.

But hey, something that flies... That sounds fun.

[prazerbutterfly]

I can carry as many as I need to, pending on how well bodies stack or can hold on, over long distances in a short matter of time. I don't have to stay on the ground either.

Any group is fine with me. I don't mind the company.

[osteothropy]

Body stacking, huh?

How fast do you move, exactly?

[whattaprick]

So we’re supposed to keep looking for what, exactly? Just more on the miracles?

I’d say besides having someone who can move people fast, try to have at least one person that can fight, too.

[osteothropy]

I guess? We've found some pretty pertinent information so far...

But if we could get any data on where the Red Beast is, that'd be a major plus.

[chronosynthesis]

Understood. I can veil multiple people under invisibility and use illusions to cover escape if there is a confrontation.

I can create portals, but it is... unwieldly to establish if we are on the run. Still, it is something I can use to recover any stragglers if necessary.

[osteothropy]

How long does it take to establish a portal? Do you project the exit point with visualizations or something else?

[Sans is very specific about this stuff.]

[atouts]

Sounds like you already know what I can do, Sans.

I can take three at one time through the shadows, not counting myself. Any more than that might be pushing my luck.

[osteothropy]

What can I say, you're an iconic kind of guy.

That's about my load for teleportation. Have you figured out any distance limits, yet?

[moonfang]

[he groans like a kid who's just been told he can't have any dessert unless he eats his peas]

Running over fighting? Uuuuggghhh. Fiiiiine.

[he huffs, then announces to the channel at large;] I'm unspoken for if anyone needs their security detail, I guess. I can move real fast and carry two or three people if need be.

[osteothropy]

Feel free to invite yourself to any group that looks under-protected. Warden's orders.

[fourthscribe]

I've been copying down anything I've found, it should all be an accurate transcription. And for anyone that needs help, this sort of thing was what I did before joining the carnival. Even if it's only something you can remember, I'm happy to help record everything we have.

[anti_nonsense]

You're the one who found information on a 'Serpent', right? Think I could get a copy of that passage?

[exaomori]

[nooo not something serious she actually has to probably do something about.]

Jeez, what a pain.

[At least she's acknowledging her orders.]
