Unseelie Locket Network, voice

In light of the decree given by the Black Shuck, I am seeking to try and create a database of banshee sightings, to try and help get teams of people or individuals out to the exact location and to give them a hand. To that extent, if anyone is willing to volunteer where they’re interested in heading, so that a note of it might be made and more ground can be be covered by others checking to see if an area has been seen to, please let me know. The goal is to organize something useful, so that this can be done as completely as plausible.

Thank you in advance for your help, and I wish you luck in your endevours.

To Hermione-Net, voice

Hi all. To make a long story short, with the temporary lax standards the Shuck has forced our monarchs to to take, I’m temporarily allowing Unseelie and Seelie alike into the Barrel to try and get this banshee task attended to in the most concise manner possible. I’m trying to collect all possible sightings, and I’ll be happy to pass on spots to check out for anyone who’s interested in restoring their voices.

Obviously for everyone’s safety I’m going to ask that those of you making use of the Barrel try and not go too far astray from the task before us. However, if you need a place for final farewells, I’m not exactly going to stop you either.

Please let me know if you have questions, otherwise I do look forward to seeing a number of you for a final round of cooperation before we have to get back to killing each other.

[ooc: Please let me know what network you're replying on. Also Barrel link for all your cooperation needs!]

[entitles]

If I see anything I'll let you know.

...Do you know much about the Black Shuck?

[gordianknots]

Bits and pieces. He's the death deity of the Drabwurld - takes the form of a massive black dog. An Unseelie patron of sorts, in contrast to his brother the White Hart who represents life and is a Seelie patron.

hermione-net, compass, voice :,)

[wwjd]

[Well, he probably doesn't recognize Waver, but let's see if the opposite isn't true.]

Where is the Barrel located?

i'm so sorry for him.

[gordianknots]

[Waver's response is, in fact, to go outside, put his cigar case communicator beside the ocean waves, and let that act as static for about thirty seconds before hanging up.

Goddamnit he'll need to filter Kirei out for all future calls.]

[babbylon]

...!

[This... this was not a voice he was at all expecting to hear on his compass. Waver was a wary sort of man; even in more relaxed times, he thought he would've steered clear of any contact with the Seelie. To hear him now brightens him visibly, and he makes no show of hiding his delighted face.]

Waver! My fair fellow, it has been some time! Never mind these wretched banshee; are you well?

[Leave it to Gilgamesh to toss all subtleties out the window in favor of greeting an old colleague.]

[gordianknots]

--Good lord, did you somehow get your ostentatious speech caught in a blender with the works of Marlowe?

[Which is to say hi, in the most deadpan manner known to man.]

voice; hermionenet

[detoxifying]

It's good to hear that even given the circumstances, you remain well, Lord El-Melloi.

[ Though, the friendly tone of his voice is tempered somewhat by distinct pessimism. ]

[gordianknots]

Ah, Cullen.

[Waver's form address is warm and fond.]

I'm glad you sound like you're doing well yourself. Given the circumstances, I'm glad you even responded.

video; hermione-net ofc

[aslandish]

I'll be certain to stop by.

[ S'up mage-friend. It's been a while, etc. ]

[gordianknots]

It'll be very nice to find my things covered in lion fur. [Waver's grinning, showing that this is meant genuinely.] I'll let the baristas know you're friendly.

hermionenet; private

[notyetlegend]

I'll certainly stop by. Your books might have information that I don't already know.

[It's nothing short of a relief to hear his voice again, but she still keeps the line private. Merida has grown more cautionary over her time in the Drabwurld. There's a smile in her voice when she speaks again.]

I've missed your teas.

[gordianknots]

I might hope. There's a few new ones in, but they're mostly adventure stories.

[Waver can hardly blame Merida's preference. Shit though, he should tell her about Rider.]

When you leave, I'll give you my supplier's address and you can get in touch with her. I'm sure she'll appreciate the extra business.

I'll be headed out to Loch Noa and the adjacent waterways. If there's time, I can also look around the Astar river to see what's there...but I can't make many promises. I might be headed with a companion to Quendi.

Anyone in and around Treun can make use of the tavern so long as it's at night and they are discreet. We'd have the added advantage of being on neutral soil but little else.

[ A pause. ]

You sound well, though. It's good to hear from you.

[gordianknots]

It's good to hear from you as well Lavellan. I'm guessing business is going well? [There's the momentary shuffling of papers on Waver's end, followed by the sound of a pen scratching on paper. Or perhaps a map.]

I'll let folks know about the tavern rules if they pop up here and need to head north. If folks happen on it by fortune, then so be it for them. [And the more funding flowing into Treun, the better.]

From everything I've heard, quite a few folks are heading to Quendi. Not that I can blame them, honestly.

[thebreakingwave]

Thank you. If I see anything, I'll send you word, but I won't bring you trouble by appearing on your doorstep.

[gordianknots]

Goodness knows we have enough means of contact anyway. Things okay with you?

[Not like Harry to not want to visit.]

[digophelia]

The children stumbled across one, this late afternoon. They play by the creek that runs alongside the back of the house.

[ An uncomfortable pause. ]

She looks fairly young, younger than I expected. Not quite a woman nor a child, too. She's fairly distressed.

[gordianknots]

Got it.

[Waver's quick to write down the information.]

Thinking of going after it yourself, or should I get someone in your direction?

action cause I do what I want

[gandere]

Hard at work? [ She only caught the end of the message and doesn't really want to pry more than that so she says nothing else on the matter as she lifts her head up from the large pile of pillows and blankets that lined the floor.

The 'cuddle pile' isn't anything new, but with the sun shining down brightly through the windows it did make the ideal place for six little girls to nap. Seven if anyone counted Rin--which they should--and often up to eight if Scian felt especially clingy.

Normally the girls beat Rin to waking up, but she must have heard something that startled her from her otherwise peaceful slumber. It's rare for her to be this alert after a nap. ]

[gordianknots]

About to begin.

[Waver sighs, and stands up from the chair he's in. There's no need to attend to the lockets and the other networks now. They've slowed, and his head aches from so much rapid fire planning.]

I had to fake some static too.

[badmedicine]

[ He'll give a little wave, when the video comes up. ] I'll be here and there. Mostly in Unseelie territories, for the time being.

If I find any troublesome banshee, you'll be the first to know.

[gordianknots]

[Waver smiles at the little wave, and then reaches for a pen to jot this down.]

Got it. Are you focusing west, east, or to be decided?

audio; Hermione-net. go cross-courting!

[cinnamoned]

I appreciate the attempt to assist in something like this. If we see a banshee or wish assistance in finding one to help with this, we can ask or let you know then? I'm not sure I've actually been to the Barrel yet.

[Though being Seelie, that's likely hardly surprising, especially when her time is mostly spent in Caer Glaem, the Station or at Cothromach. Still, that isn't the important thing here.]

Re: audio; Hermione-net. go cross-courting!

[gordianknots]

Yes, precisely. Or, otherwise, if you've already helped one out you can let me know that way it's known that the area has already been covered and no one is wasting their time.

We're located south of Treun, and keep to ourselves these days. [Not that it was always true. Oh for the past glories of not caring about which court patrons for the business were from.]

[uneulogized]

Wow, you're being helpful. Out of curiosity, in being so determined to be at the heart of matters, are you planning on opening your doors for a little longer to your own people?

Just a question, you know. It came to mind.

[gordianknots]

May I ask what it is I've done to invite such dripping sarcasm and scorn?

hermione-net. voice.

[brainiest]

Waver!

[ Hermione hesitates, unsure, before she smiles. ]

Does this mean I can come and see you, just for a little while?

[gordianknots]

If you can fake being on topic for a bit.
