[network] @haurchefant; A Call to Arms [open] [video] Morning 189

[silverfuller]

[Haurchefant is holding the tablet in one hand, his features are serious.]

I wish to speak of the ill fate that befell us over a week ago and the air of discomfort that followed thereafter.

The workings of this place set us to hunt one another. It turned brother against brother. That was dark magicks at work, not our will.

[He shakes his head.]

Since then some among us have retained the eyes. Now is not the time to take a knife to one another, rather we must rally together. We must find a way to end this mummery, not perpetuate it through violence.

I know not who the Prophet was and I care not. What I care about is our safety. If we let this place drive a wedge between us we will lose this game, whatever it may be.

Pray, keep strong my friends.

[ Even if he had faith that Haurchefant would bounce back from pretty much anything, he is still relieved to see he's okay. ]

Yo! It's been a while since I've seen you on the network. How's everyone in your group?

[silverfuller]

Hail, Zell.

We are...as well as can be expected, I'd think.

What of you and yours?

[swatsflies]

[ As well as can be expected doesn't sound like a good thing. ]

We're good. [ A pause. ] At least I think we're good. Will know for sure when we meet back up again.

Does anyone still have different eyes from that event?

[devoutish]

Are there people being attacked over the events of that night? I haven't seen anything of the sort, mate.

@haurchefant; voice

[silverfuller]

Nay, none that I know of. But 'tis better to speak out before any such tragedy were to occur than hold my tongue until there is bloodshed, yes?

And if we never come to harm ourselves and my plea is for naught then I shall be full glad for it.

[devoutish]

Mm. It's catastrophizing a bit, mate; that's all.

@haurchefant; voice

[silverfuller]

Not at all, but this last bout of madness was, mayhap, the greatest effort I've seen yet to drive a wedge between us.

@expostfacto; voice

[whatjupitercouldnt]

Kind of agreeing that I haven't seen much in the way of people antagonizing each other. That being said, I feel the bigger risk is people isolating themselves because they perceive themselves to be a threat to others.

[Those idiot noble self-sacrificing types, essentially.]

@haurchefant; voice

[silverfuller]

Seeing no evidence of such is good.

It could be that I am worrying over naught, and I do pray that proves to be the case. 'Tis the fact that some eyes yet linger that worries me so.

[whatjupitercouldnt]

Yeah, I'm sure that it's got plenty of others worried too.

It doesn't sound like we have any ideas on what could be causing them, or how to get rid of them.

If it happens again it will not matter that we are alone because all the doors will open again. It is better to be with friends who will tie you up.

[silverfuller]

Indeed. I am not proposing that we avoid one another. I am suggesting quite the opposite, in fact. In these times of uncertainty we must...

[He pauses as a sharp stab of pain lances through him.]

We must learn to come together.

[whatjupitercouldnt]

Well, that's certainly a more practical way of looking at it.

[It's almost endearing.]

i talked to people about this plenty before and none of the people who got the murder eyes were still wanting it after the fact
havent heard about any other trouble going on from it either
im trying to be careful anyway because some of us still have the weird ones like you said
if anything the danger is probably another round of the city instigating some ugly new flavor of awful on us because of them

@haurchefant; voice

[silverfuller]

'Twould seem my concern is thus far misplaced.

I pray it remains so.

@featherydouche; voice

[mrcreamsicles]

[Well, alright, he'll meet him halfway. Voice it is.]

Hopefully, yeah. World's not ending yet, but watch your back, is what I'll say.

How are you and other elf dudes holding up? I know most of you are some kind of knight, but what happened then still sucked.

[ninjainviolet]

I don't think anyone is seeking revenge--if that's what you're getting at.

[ Wow. Talk about formal language. ]

But, I think learning who the Prophet was is pretty important--a key of some sort to everything.

[silverfuller]

There may yet be fruit to bear from uncovering this Prophet's past but that task is best suited to minds more scholarly than my own.

[He sounds tired.]

[ninjainviolet]

[ She responds more to the sound of his voice than to his words. ]

You've already been trying, haven't you?

Voice @Enoch - jumping in here if that's okay!

[warriorscribe]

I heard a voice, before the eyes first appeared for everyone. A young girl, frightened and calling out for help. I think - I've listened to the data we have and she sounds most like Samantha. A child matches the descriptions others saw of the Prophet. They may be one and the same, or connected somehow.

Totally fine!

[ninjainviolet]

Samantha... She's the one that was in the video from the school, wasn't she? The little girl who screamed?

[ She thinks for a moment. ]

I wonder if the two things are related? Her being called the Prophet and what happened to the school.

[heiresy]

[Aymeric has a bit clearer of an idea of why Haurchefant is worried. There's something special and specific about a Dragoon's wrath.]

Hail, friend. While many seem unbothered by this possibility, we must stay vigilant and do our parts. Have you specific concerns?

@haurchefant; video, (Private from Estinien)

[silverfuller]

Only that there some among us who, if driven to madness a second time, could do damage that may not be reparable.
