PRIVATE MESSAGE (TO PERIDOT, AMETHYST, TYKI, SHIMA, AND CHILDERMASS)

[lordofthering]

[Everyone listed will receive this message at the same time on Day 68, on an unknown frequency. They'll be able to hear each other responding, because they'll all magically be on the same channel. The screens glow green.]

Hello Peridot, Amethyst, Tyki, Shima, and, of course, Childermass... In my efforts to set things right, I require some diplomatic help. Or, at least, moral support. It's to do with the whole Ignatius... situation.

I need your presence at the carnival's second moon. I will provide a ride. If you wonder why I chose you, specifically, it's because I feel like I can trust you to maintain a neutral discussion, and to respect my desire to handle Ignatius humanely.

I'll meet you at a portal in the campgrounds in about a half hour. Plus ones will not be admitted. If you don't want to come, let me know immediately.

[Cripes!]

Uh. Not immediately on hand? Sorry. I could probably build you some, if you gave me a few days, but I'm assuming we don't exactly have the luxury of time here.

[lordofthering]

Unfortunately not. But it's fine! I can protect you as much as should be needed. It just helps to have a back up in case things get unruly.

[periphrasing]

Nyeh heh. Alright. Understood! I'll see you at the portal, then.
