Wakey-wakey eggs and bakey~.

[Have one smiling treasure hunter to greet you all. It's been quite a year! She's seen a lot of this world, but now it's back to business, it seems.]

Communications are back online! At least for us. I'll bet the seelie have theirs online now, too. How are we supposed to banter back and forth though? It's not as fun if we're not glaring at each other and shouting death threats.

Oh well, we can still glare in spirit, right?

[Let's see, what else is new?]

Have all the sleeping people woken up? You should know that while you were sleeping, we stripped you naked and made an Unseelie 2702 calendar. And if you weren't asleep, don't tell them that's a lie, you'll ruin the surprise.

I'll miss the ham-fisted Cold War references. For those of us who understood 'em in the first place, anyway.

[Kayneth had made quite the impression on Jason. Plus, he still thinks it's utterly ridiculous that any conflict here was compared to that.

There's a long beat before he adds:]

Long time no see. Having these back helps in another way, at least.

[desperate_times]

[She smiles at seeing him.]

Yes, it's been awhile. Though I was hoping I'd hear from you.

[They had such a good time at Samhain, after all.]

Glad to see you're in one piece.

[tacticalturtleneck]

Listening in on the losers isn't worth the lost brain cells. I'm losing enough with alcohol, I don't need people I hate doing it too.

[uneulogized]

Not for lack of trying to fall apart a few times. [Though he could be bullshitting on that front.]

Guess we won't have to wonder much anymore, thanks to these. Nice of them to give them back finally.

Eggs and what?

[desperate_times]

Yes, the air was too quiet for my liking.

And it does make it easier to get in touch with people.

What do you think will happen now? Do you think there'll be another battle like before?

[desperate_times]

Your hatred for the enemy is admirable. What do you think will happen now that the monarchs are back?

[desperate_times]

Bakey--I mean, bacon. You must have had bacon before.

[tacticalturtleneck]

Do you want the details or just the summary?

[desperate_times]

Give me the dirty details.

[tacticalturtleneck]

We can start with the part where Morla is totally going to ask me to bang her. That's step number 1. Step number 2 is that I remain awesome and number 3 is probably something important but not really worth it.

[desperate_times]

[That gets a laugh. He's funny in a weird sort of way.]

Step 3 isn't something even bigger? Like becoming king of the universe?

[tacticalturtleneck]

Just so everyone else would actually have a reason to try to assassinate me? No thank you. I've ruined enough third world crackpot dictators to know where that one is going. The whole being a Baron thing is perfectly fine with me.

[desperate_times]

Oh, so you're a baron? That sounds nice.

[tacticalturtleneck]

Obviously. Otherwise I wouldn't have said it. Baron Sterling Archer of Archer Point. Home of both the World Lacrosse Championships and the Chocobo World Cup AND Archer Point Military Academy. How boss can one place even get?

[desperate_times]

That does sound pretty boss.

I assume there are also outrageous parties there as well.

[It wouldn't really be boss otherwise.]

[tacticalturtleneck]

I'm completely plastered right now. Of course there's outrageous parties like every night. It's part of Archer Point culture.

What does it look like?

[uneulogized]

We've just suffered a great deal of losses. [He considers that for a moment, allowing his initial words to hang in the air.]

I don't think it'd be a good idea to keep letting things screw us over. We'll have to act. We wasted the last year, after all.

[desperate_times]

Not like we could do anything last year.

[They had no leadership.]

What are you suggesting? A full scale assault? Not sure how that would work out for us.

[desperate_times]

Do you take anything going on around here seriously? I mean, we are in the middle of some kind of war, I hear.

[she's more amused than anything.]

[desperate_times]

It's.. bacon! You know just.. bacon.

It's strips of meat and it tastes like heaven.

[uneulogized]

Hey, did that sound like a suggestion? [He offers a faint smile.] I'm just not one for sitting on my hands and letting the world end, that's all.

[desperate_times]

You're the hero type. I've known a few of those.

[And she knows they can't be stopped.]

Still, the war and all, a lot of times it doesn't make much sense to me. There's that dark thing out there now getting closer all the time. Shouldn't we be concerned with that instead?

[uneulogized]

The way they spell it out, fighting, killing Seelie ... which, by the way? Not all that heroic. [Jason's gotta defend his unheroic status. He can't help it.] Well, anyway, it's supposed to give our lovely monarchs the strength to help with that. And if they get strength, we get strength, and we all take care of it.

It's the circle of life. Just with more death and destruction and less lions on plateaus.
