004 ☆ Video [Seelie Only]
[Clara looks like hell. Honestly, why she used the video function is beyond her. There are dark circles under her eyes and her hair is tousled and messy. Before she speaks, she sighs and presses her palms into her eyes.]
Take a little nap, just for a quick visit home, wake up and there's a massive void threatening to destroy all the world. I used to wake up and think "oh that's Monday, time to make it all better" but now I've just got a headache. Maybe I'm getting old. Haven't got time for a world that's gone to hell.
[She pulls her hands down and licks her lips before continuing. Discretion is important here.]
I had a vision about it. The void. Or at least I think so. I was looking at the map and there was spilled ink. Black like the void. But it was in the north. It started bleeding, swallowing up everything in that strange half light. Then there was nothing but a single dot left.
[She leans back, tired eyes up to the ceiling as she recalls the memory.]
Vague but possibly useful. Would be nice if it was useful, anyway. Being useful is the idea. Haven't heard of anything happening to the north, just Leathann in the south. Has anyone else seen anything like this? Or heard of anything happening there? Don't suppose we could end up with voids times two. Just what we need. Then again, I'm new at this whole "have visions, interpret them, they're possibly a metaphor" sort of thing.
[Then her eyes are back on the locket, darker, and a little glassy. She's fighting off tears but she'll make no more of a show of it.]
Other than that, I've. I've got a request. Or more of a task, I suppose. I need something retrieved from Caer Scima.
My friend... The Doctor left. We haven't spoken for nearly a year and I suppose it'd be silly to count on him returning. Haven't seen much of that since I've been here. Besides, the world is ending. Who'd want to end up back here?
[She bites her lip before continuing, quickly. It's dangerous to speak of others in the opposite court. But she hopes she can make this work.]
He had boons that might be useful to our side. I'd like to have them retrieved. He often kept to himself and I can't imagine anyone hasIf anyone wants to volunteer, you'll be rewarded. Gold, metals, magic, services, I'm flexible. Or perhaps you're creative. Either way, rewards!
Otherwise, I'll take your advice on how to break into a massive enemy fortress instead. Much obliged.
[The last part is said bone dry. Giving the implication that it's half joke-half desperate idea that she might actually be considering.]

[ normally she'd at least say hi first, but visions put her into thinky-work mode pretty quick ]

It's definitely worth looking into. There have been way too many visions about the Void to take the risk of ignoring the warning of one, at this point. You're totally right, it could be a metaphor, but with how things are going in Leathann... [ her lips tighten into a line for a second ] It's probably pretty direct.
no subject
And that's what I'm worried about. What if we're missing something. Sure the void in the south is there but... what if there's more.
no subject
[ she's not quite panicking, but there's an urgency to her tone now ]
We could go check it out for ourselves, but then what?
i'm so sorry for the delay
[She sighs softly and runs a hand through her hair.]
At least see what's happening. At least we'll know with our own eyes.
no subject
If there is a void, we wouldn't even have to get that close to see it. Even if it's barely visible, we'd feel it. That ..ick feeling. So, I mean.
We could.
[ just gently putting it out there, then adding- ]
I have a pegasus. He could come in handy.

[A beat.]
What's your weekend look like?
no subject
I'm free as a bird, actually. You?
