[ This is short notice (and just plain short), but kind of on purpose. Less time for word to get out past the refugees themselves. ]

Coalition's coming up real soon, and I know plenty of us find it somewhat worthy of suspicion. I'd like to be in the area, but not attend, just to keep an eye on things from the outside in the event of an emergency. If anyone would like to join me, I'd appreciate the backup.

Such paranoia.

[willrevile]

That's the hope.

i think that's a good idea. from my personal experience with things like this back home, i'm not sure how much i trust this sort of thing here either.

[willrevile]

I'd like to trust it, and for this to be a needless effort. But I'm not there yet.

You gonna come and save us all if this goes south? I need practice with my swooning face.

[willrevile]

I hear a mirror helps.

Much as I approve of the sentiment, I find attending to be the easiest way to get information.

But I'll report back to you, if you promise to offer me a daring rescue should it all go south.

[willrevile]

You're right about that.

[ Somebody's gotta do the hard way, though, right? tho lbr Jim hopes nothing happens and he's bored all night. ]

For you, of course I promise.

I'll admit to being curious about the proceedings.]

[...Honestly, mostly just curious. But also just suspicious enough that he has very little interest in securing himself as a plus one.]

[willrevile]

There's probably no harm in checking it out. You going?

While I can understand that everyone's gotten a bit paranoid, I don't think we have anything to fear of the coalition.

The brooch that came with the invitation is without doubt the mark of a hero. Everyone in Olympia has been treating me more than kindly whenever I wear it.

[willrevile]

Believe me, this is about being cautious, and not a dire belief that something absolutely will happen. I look forward to this being a waste of my time.

I'm down for a little recon. Sounds kinda nostalgic.

[willrevile]

Glad to have you. Been looking after yourself?

fair shout to have someone on the outside.
might be my background, but i feel like i've gotta go, y'know? otherwise, i'd join you.

[willrevile]

Don't worry about it. I've hit the point in my career where I'm trying to beg off from this sort of thing at home. I'm hoping to be bored all night.

That was my plan anyways. Consider it done.

Everyone's a pessimist.

[Herself included.]

[willrevile]

It happens.

un: sharp

[veneries]

Sounds like a sensible measure.

[willrevile]

I'd like to think so.

un: graecus

[phykios]

I think that's a good idea. One thing, though: how about setting up, like, some kind of signal if things go south? If something happens fast enough there might not be time to call -- literally call -- for help.

[ or discretion might be needed, something more subtle than pulling out a phone. ]

[willrevile]

Got anything in mind?

[ Jim's good enough at tech fiddling to put together what amounts to radio pieces, but there's such diversity in skillsets here he's always open to better plays. ]

[beatupgrass]

Eh. Why not? I don't wanna go in and listen to a bunch of people argue, but I sure as hell don't wanna miss any action if shit goes down.

[willrevile]

Hey, maybe it'll only be a few people arguing. I'm happy to have you in any event.

text | un: sparkler

[flashystyle]

I should come out and wave all the fine wine you could be having in your face. I think you're using this as an excuse not to dress up.

[willrevile]

You got me there. My uniform got shredded when we crash landed in the swamp, so I'm fresh out of anything nice.

un: nightingale

[ettersberg]

I would be happy to join you.

[willrevile]

Glad to hear it.

What happened exactly to cause this suspicion?

[willrevile]

About a month ago, over 40 refugees were abducted from Wyver and Olympia by extremists fearing some kind of conspiracy between the cities. They were recovered, but not before being held and tortured for a period of time.

It's my understanding that most, if not all, of those responsible found at each scene were either killed or taken into custody, but there's no way to know what else is out there. This cooperative event seems to be entirely in good faith - it's not the cities I'm concerned about.

I wasn't given an invitation.
But that's never stopped me from crashing a party before.

[ Not that Dazai plans on doing anything so completely reckless, unless Shit Goes Down. But he's already heard enough refugees anxiously discuss their concerns to be suspicious. ]

So. Real talk, fearless leader.

Do we bring snacks to this slumber party?

[willrevile]

I think everyone's invites get +1s, if you want to try and tag along with somebody instead of trying to slink in through a window.

[ Which he can't actually imagine going well for anyone. ]

I'm not mad at the snacks idea.

I'm going to be at the meeting, but I'm glad other people will be there outside.

[willrevile]

Thanks. Hopefully we won't have to do anything, or if we do, none of you inside will notice.

Good luck. I'm eager to hear how everything proceeded, after.

[quevalry]

I'm part of the Guard, so I would love to get a piece of the action!

Or, hopefully, no action at all?

[willrevile]

That's the outfit in Olympia, right? It'd be great to have you on board.

Hopefully none :) Knock on wood or something.

[izanyagi]

I don't mind helping. I agree - I'd rather get more information as well.

[willrevile]

Great to hear. It'll be informal, I'm just sending everyone a location ping and we'll go from there. That okay?
