[ 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.

Alright. [ A bit of a laugh at that. ] Count to sixty.

[ And he'll take off, wandering a bit into the woods or brush or whatever is out here. Hopefully this thing isn't glass and he won't be risking slicing himself (or anyone else) up if it explodes over the course of the event, but for now, he jogs until his own count has hit about fifty, then sets the thing down on the ground.

(Drumroll.) ]

[ the container is some kind of plastic, probably, or whatever the olympian equivalent is...

and percy waits until a count of sixty passes, then moves so he's facing the direction in which jim went and closes his eyes.

for a second, nothing happens. then the container starts to tremble for a millisecond, before it explodes in a starburst of water. ]

[ Nice.

Jim re-appears at a brisk clip, and offers Percy a thumbs-up before he comes to a halt. ]

It worked. I'll have to be careful not to accidentally crush it against something on my own, but that should function pretty well if something goes down.

[ Maybe the network dies, maybe people can't get to their devices, who knows. ]

[phykios]

Good to know.

[ maybe their devices get jammed, or maybe there's just really bad wifi out here. or maybe nothing happens to the devices, but it never hurts to have a subtle way to signal trouble, as easy as closing his eyes.

when jim's close enough, he'll hold out his bag for handing off. ]

Then I'll see you on the other side, I guess.

[ Jim takes the bag, considering where to store the thing on his person later. Eh, he'll figure it out. ]

You will. Thanks again for doing this - it's always worth it to know what we've all got to work with, I think.

[ They're a community within a community beset by mysterious enemies. Best to be open with each other, right? ]

Good luck with this thing. I'm glad it's happening, no matter what my concerns are.
