third trial. (unseelie locked.)
[ hello, network! have you grown tired of thomas yet? i hope not. the feed begins with two teenagers, both fairly grimy looking. though minho seems to be in and out, thomas is the one cupping the locket in his hands to speak into it; a table with a miniature version of caer scima is visible in the background.
thomas, as usual, isn’t quite sure how to start this thing. ] Hey. [ #nailed it ] Tensions are getting pretty bad right now. [ captain obvious. maybe minho should talk. ]
Really? [ yeah, somebody isn’t the greatest at social media. minho appears with a bunch of rolled up papers in one arm, the other going to drop over thomas’ shoulder. ] I don’t think anybody noticed that, Tommy. [ dryly ] So, let’s just cut to the chase - getting people to safety before the klunk comes crashing down.
[ if thomas’s ears pinken in a little, he covers it with a roll of his eyes, clapping minho on the bicep to get him to move. he does, if reluctantly, going to gather up more of their work. the moral of the story quickly becomes that both of these boys don't trust much of anything. ] Minho and I have been mapping out the surrounding areas of Caer Scima out to Quendi and a few places beyond that. If the Unseelie lines hold and the castle’s safe--great. If not, then it’d be smart to get your shuck butt out of the surrounding area as soon as possible. Where I'm from, nothing's sacred, no matter how safe it feels.
Between the two of us-- [ he glances at minho, who salutes with one of his rolled up maps ]--three of us, with Teresa-- we can run people out a few at a time using the fairy rings, but we’re going to need help.
[ minho takes this moment to come up behind thomas again, right against his back to peer down into the locket. ] This includes people with safe places for refugees to head to. We’ve got some places we can go, but depending on numbers… well, better to have as many spots for people to go as possible. Nobody needs to make a target out of themselves with everybody from the castle in one building. [ minho ruffles the back of thomas’ hair as he draws back. ]
I don’t think anybody fighting this war wants this kind of bloodshed. [ thomas sounds a little bitter for a second. ] I don’t want any more bloodshed. The more lives we can save with this, Shardbearer or not, the better. If you’re in Caer Scima and want a way out, reply back, and privately. We can set up an exchange, or show you the quickest routes away from the castle and to some kind of safety. Even if it feels like it's too late, just--contact one of us, and we'll find a way to get you out.
[ minho pipes up one last time from behind him: ]
Just stay safe, regardless of what you’re doing. Nobody needs to die ‘cause they did something stupid.
[ thomas nods, and the feed cuts. ]
{ thomas is in dark green, minho is in blue. most responses to this post will be from thomas-- minho's mun is out of commission for surgery after today. however, if you want min specifically, feel free to ask! }

action!
[ when he steps aside, thomas reveals the map room. paper and pencils are strewn about the floor, organized into a sort of chaos that probably only he, minho and teresa understand. beyond that, there's the great map of caer scima on the table, made of what look like small sticks, carefully mapped and labeled to show the locations of each and every person in caer scima. ]
The main map's over here. Uh--watch your step. [ gingerly picking his way over some papers, thomas moves over to the large table, where a map is spread out next to the model of caer scima, taking up the rest of the space. it's covered in markings and pathways, different ones marked with numbers and all sorts of other code that can only be described as Runner speak. ]
no subject
She glances at the map, and then back at Thomas.]
How would you like me to go about this? Gesture with my fingers, or do you have something you would like me to mark with?
I must say, this is quite impressive, though.
