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.]

Your friend from home that had issues with your boyfriend? I'm sorry, Clara. I'm not sure how safe it would be right now for any of us to go there and look into this ourselves, but surely someone here knows another in the other Court to give you some answers at least.

As for the vision.....this isn't the first I've heard of.

Well, good luck on it. I hope you find what you're looking for.

[Whether that's his shard or something more personal, more sentimental. Or something else entirely. It's always nice to have something of those that left.]

Yes. From Ben I think it was. So you're not the only one. I'm not sure how or why certain of us seem to have these....but it's not exactly encouraging. What I'm hearing people are seeing.

The north, yes. That's....mainly Unseelie territory if I recall the maps rightly. But even so. It's still worrying. Especially if this is a new development. I'm not sure if they might have had the same visions or not. And right now it would likely be risky to try ask or warn them if we wanted to.

Exactly. While everyone is focused down there, concentrate on the north where we wouldn't expect. How much warning this might give us, whether it is already happening, I'm not sure. North is the Unseelie territory, really. And unless some of us have connections we might not be able to warn them. Though I know there are other ways to get in touch besides the lockets. Even if they are 'on the other side' of all of this, I don't want them to suffer without at least a chance to prepare and try do something.

[If there is really anything, outside of just doing what they can to evacuate the areas in danger. Even that much would be something. Less people outright killed in all of this.]
