video | open to both courts (yay non-locket devices)
I've been thinking.
[ John's sitting against the base of a tree somewhere, idly scratching a stray mutt behind the ears with one hand while holding his device with the other. ]
Seelie, Unseelie. Order, Chaos. Can't really have one without the other, can you? But that's the whole thing the courts want: one to win over the other. And that's with the queens being sisters.
Sort of seems like it won't work either way, in the long run. Not in a way anyone wants.
[ This would have been essentially blasphemy, once upon a time; treason of the highest order. But John has had no shard for eight months, has only the memory of a gold cloak to his name now. It's the Shuck he serves and the Red Hand he fights for, this world and its people and those he cares about. ]
But maybe that's just me.
[ He shrugs, pausing just long enough for the dog to look up at him and whine. A snort and he goes back to generously bestowing ear scratches. ]
Anyway, if any of you are looking for something to do, a way to make money, and aren't afraid of hard work -- the Red Hand's hiring. We're a mercenary group but we'll take all sorts; we can find a job for you, if you've got something to bring to the table. We have no court-attached contracts, are focusing more on what the natives to this world need, so no worries there -- and I'm a shardless son of a bitch, so no worries about getting spanked or whatever your court does for having conversations with the 'wrong people'.
Leave your prejudiced bullshit at the door, though; we've got all sorts of races and believers among the ranks. If you can't handle that, I'm more than willing to throw you out on your ass.

How've you been, otherwise?
no subject
Busy. Sore.
[Sort of hungry.]
And yourself?
no subject
[ And it's hard to be sore, though he feels Harry on the hungry thing. ]
Been getting an earful of gossip from the local strays all day, sorting out what might actually be something to look into and what's just excited animal gabbing. Though if you ever want to know who smells like what, I'm your guy.
no subject
[It's a problem. As usual, it's a problem he's not talking about, but not something he can put off forever.]
What's the word from the animal kingdom?
no subject
A lot more strays, with people picking up and moving. Luckily the animals are smart enough to move away from the Void too. Leads to more mice and rats in the cities as they move away from the coast, but cats and dogs are following them. People don't realize there are more rodents though, so sometimes the cats and dogs are driven off or killed, which is gonna result in a bigger rat problem and results in a loss of eyes and ears for me.
A few packs of feral dogs starting to gather in different places, with the potential to take down humans and livestock. I have a feeling we'll see a lot more scavengers next time there's a battle.
no subject
[It's not his fault! Except that it is, but it's not his hunger.]
Good to know. I like a nice bit of vole when I'm on the wing, so I won't feel too bad about that. Anything you want me to look for?
no subject
Any activity that looks like it could fuck with refugees. Rodent included, I guess. And try to avoid the ferrets and their cousins.
[ Other than that... Linn probably has a good idea. ]
