[ 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! }

I remember hearing about Cothromach on here, as a safe zone. [ she's scrolling through the different locket transmissions she's saved over the last few weeks, curled up in a blanket on her favorite chair in their map room, one she's been spending a lot of time in lately. ] But that's in the Seelie territory, isn't it? So how safe could it really be?

Think I'll take you up on that.

[sure, she's got a few skills up her sleeve, along with many tricks, but she can't fight a war like this. she's already packed a bag full of necessities, and she's sure that even if most of the people inhabiting caer scima survive, the castle may not. her room had never been that full, anyway, and the drugs she has, she can pack.]

I'm heading back from the Station. I'll probably grab the rest of my things from my room if it's still there and head to Quendi. If you want, I can take the long way back and try and scope out some places for people to go to?

[He's not particular interested or wanting for an escort, but the other part of this, routes from the castle:] I'd like to take a look at those maps.

I can take any and all protected by the Caer Scima within Spire 1. If I run out of room, I can push them to another Spire--I already have an evaluation plan created.

The tunnels under the tower to the castle should be completed soon, as well, for those that can't use the fairy circles.

( she's heard a little bit about the war, had almost been roped into being outfitted in armour and weaponry before she managed to just get out of the hall with a jacket in hand. the idea that people are actually making evacuation plans, that her, Raven, and Bellamy came from one war to walk right into another -- she can't stand it.

still, there is definitely one thing in the transmission that interests her above all the others. )

You said that you've been mapping out the area. Are those the only copies of those maps?

Redgate is open to refugees and far from the battle, but be careful if you do send anyone out this way. The fastest route is from the fairy ring in Daonna, and they haven't been very shardbearer-friendly there lately.

[ is zuko one of the stupid ones? maybe. he's staying in caer scima, leaving sokka to fend the village in quendi as he knows he'll need to prepare for the upcoming battle. he doesn't wish to evacuate or run, knowing himself to be more valuable to his court if he's to stay and defend — and maybe backburn. fire can't be lit on dead grass, and maybe that will deter the seelies from coming into his newly acquired home and trying to do whatever it is they're aiming for. but he has no plans for evacuating, and all he can offer is the village sokka's staying behind to defend. he's not the idea guy; he's just the one that screws up a lot. ]

[ he narrows his eyes, trying to study the miniature caer scima they've built. ] How are you getting people out? [ quickly: ] It better not involve anything stupid!
