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.

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!]

Ah. Have they started to learn how to crawl?

[ JUST IMAGINE: Six crawling babies. ]

Is that really wise?

Walking, actually. They're already a year old and then some to the eye.

[IT'S TERRIBLE.]

I find honesty clears up fear.

Goodness! That's precious -- they grow so fast! And here I thought my older ones were growing out of their clothing!

[ NO, IT'S ADORABLE, SHE WANTS TO SEE. ]

That as may be, but these children are still shaken from the war. Perhaps, if it was told in way meant to be softer. [ Actually, now that she thinks about it- ]

... Save for Aithne. She was the one who chased after Dullahans.

The mature in three to five years, so it's very accelerated.

[NO THEY RUN EVERYWHER IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP.]

Aithne's going to be waaaaaaaay into this, let's be honest.

I don't think so; she's fortunate enough she had a golden arm. That one is going to make me go grey soon.

[ That sounds exhausting, good lord. ]

Goodness, I hope this doesn't mean you'll be fighting to keep them from running off from you while you're out with them. Or do you go out with them all at once?

[ Come to think of it- ]

Do you need help? Either one of you? Five year olds are manageable. The same cannot be said for infants, especially six of them walking all at once.

I have enough extra hands. [That's what VH is for, after all, and the others Waver is working on.] But thank you for the offer.

If she's excited about the dead people on horses, I think banshees are her thing as well.

You're very much welcome. We're technically neighbors, aren't we? You're very, very fortunate. Just wait until yours discover the magic of sticks.

[ Here's to hoping they don't fight each other with them like her children do. ]

Oh, no. No. Her punishment has already lifted from a few months ago. She is too much.

--I forgot about magic. Lovely.

[Noooooope, crap. Why would you remind him?]

She sounds like she'll grow into an adventurer.

[ Silence. ]

Actually, so have I.

[ Alice rubs her face and shakes her head. ]

Oh, no. She wants to become a knight, of all things. She and Drest, actually. Drest doesn't share the same impulsive streak as she does.

A knight, an adventurer. Close enough. The impulse is what'll define the path she ends up going down.

Yes and that's something that has to be curb, just a bit. But should she decide to try and weasel out, you'll have someone sweeping your floors as well as my own. We'll see what she does if I tell her she'll have to do chores for two houses.

[ EXASPERATED. ]

She might turn that into an adventure too. You might as well learn to put her impulses to good use, rather than control them.

And how would one do that?

Well, chopping wood for example. She's a lumberjack, felling dread enemies.

[ She stops to think about this. ]

Certainly, that would put that metal arm of hers to good use. But an axe- ah, no, she wouldn't use that against the other children. She has been prone to showing affection by throwing things at the others.

...

Or taking off her arm on purpose to frighten them. [ SIGH. ]

They are a handful, aren't they? All thirteen of them.

[Waver has to laugh at taking her arm off. What a great kid.]

I'm not sure how you're staying sane.

[ Coming from different times is tricky, words can mean different things to people. Alice stops, squints at Waver and draws a breath. She almost takes great offense to that comment.

Waver is too good of a man to call her "insane" or "mad". ]

I don't have six babies learning how to walk.

[ It's an attempt to joke? Joking is good, Alice will milk that. ]

You're tall, I'm sure they'll start to climb and attempt to hang off of you. It'll be a precious sight.
