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!]

[ ...

Um. ]

Can I decline to answer?

[gordianknots]

You know that declining to answer is a response in and of itself, right?

[brainiest]

[ She waves a hand meekly. ]

What kind of Marchioness would I be if I hid in the background?

[gordianknots]

One that's smart enough to know a position like that means you delegate all things, unless it's time for the big guns.

[brainiest]

It was time for the big guns. Seeing a leader in battle can be good for morale, you know.

[gordianknots]

Then I withdraw my comment on the matter.

[brainiest]

As you should. I'm always right.

[ Ah. Well. ]

Mostly.

[gordianknots]

[Waver isn't about to point out that the mostly is a matter of opinion, based on his last conversation with Harry and the topic of Hermione.]

Mostly indeed. I hope that the whole let's raise the dead and get them to attack the Citadel damage is quite seen to?

[brainiest]

[ Hermione thinks Harry has no right to comment on that, considering. ]

It is. The rebuild is almost finished and I didn't even lose my tapestries.

[gordianknots]

[Waver might point out that this is what the monarchs want, well done.]

Well, thank goodness for little miracles I suppose. Leave it to Reul to waste an undead army and not even wreck that much.

[brainiest]

[ At least it's not entirely her fault; she can say that. ]

You would think he would have tried harder, hm? [ She shakes her head. ] It's fine. I've spent most of my time in Treun and Leathann anyway.

[gordianknots]

[And that is why the conversation is left be.]

Not that he didn't make a fine attempt. Every single one those things were people he deemed disloyal and had killed. [Or: Waver knew that could have been him, hasn't slept great since.]

That far south, huh? Think Leathann's got a decent chance of not falling into the Void?

[brainiest]

Oh. That's - I had imagined, but even then the sheer mass of them...

[ Hermione breathes out, shaking her head. It's chilling and all the things she's heard about Reul just makes her loathe him more.

At least Leathann is a safer topic. ]

I honestly have no idea. I'm helping the refugees, if I can, but otherwise... [ She does pause, though, hesitant, before she slips closer. ] I could... I should tell you something.

[gordianknots]

Not exactly the best and most rigorous standards, we'll say.

[That's not funny, Waver.]

Does what you're about to say need to be kept under lock and key?

[brainiest]

That depends. It's about Kirei Kotomine.

[ ... The answer is probably yes. ]

[gordianknots]

[Fucking Kirei.]

I can make the conversation soundproof, but I need you to be okay with a spot of blood.

[brainiest]

I can make it soundproof without the blood.

[ But, still, she shifts. ]

Mine or yours?

(brb dinner)

[gordianknots]

Mine. I know the spell. And this is native, so it takes. Not even slyphs can hear it.

[There's a pause as Waver brings his thumb up to his lips, and bites it hard enough to draw blood. In a routine so mundane to him now that it barely registers, Waver smears his lips first, then Hermione's, and repeats the words Alyosha taught him. réidh tost.]

All right, you were saying?

[brainiest]

[ Still, she winces a little, not moving her mouth until she's done. Is this something she can use later, she wonders? If it's native... ]

He's working in Leathann. I've donated to his cause, because it's a good one, but he -

[ She shakes her head. ]

I think he likes me.

[gordianknots]

[Waver looks at Hermione like he's about to laugh, but what comes out instead is a frustrated noise that sounds more at home on a horse.]

First Gilgamesh, now this--

[Why do all the crazy ones from home go for you, Hermione?]

[brainiest]

[ She wishes she knew! It doesn't really help that one of the first things she ever learned about Kirei was that he was bad in bed. ]

It's not my fault - I didn't know...

[ She shakes her head. ]

[gordianknots]

[H E R M I O N E N O.]

You know I really hate the whole His-Crazy-Pants-Mage-Hunter-Order-Excludes-Him-From-Chastity-Vows-Like-All-Other-Catholic-Priests thing.

[brainiest]

[ SHE DID NOT CHOOSE THIS LIFE except for the part where she offered to be Diarmuid's Master, that life she chose. ]

He did a quest for me and he was very good... But that was before I spoke to you about him.

[ She purses her lips. ]

I'm not really sure what to do.

[gordianknots]

[No, no, the Seelie life chose her. But still.]

Maintain a strictly professional relationship, enforce barriers and boundaries, keep an eye on him, and say something to Dorian if you feel uncomfortable. It's my understanding that he's been filled in on the whole thing.

[brainiest]

Because Dorian's my best friend or because he's Gilgamesh's Master?

[ She crosses her arms, hesitating for a moment before, finally, she nods her head. ]

I don't want to know all his history, do I?
