[Quest] Video (To Seelie, Hermione-Net, Rin's Networks, & Alyosha-Net) Trouble at the Pool of Souls
[If Diarmuid counts them all, he has something like half a dozen different communication devices. He stares at them in distaste. He should not have to go to so much trouble to contact those he cares about safely, but this madness is what the courts have forced on them. One-by-one, he sends the same short video message over each device. First his locket, then the brooch Hermione enchanted for him, next the necklace Rin enchanted for him, and then the compass network Rin made for those most trusted by Alyosha. Finally, he looks at the ring that is keyed to the commanders of the Red Hand. He could send the message to John and Javik through it as well, but he has a feeling they will probably see it in one of the other ways as well. The only device he doesn't consider using is the mirror given to him by Faolan. The spymaster is the one who gave him the quest after all, and Faolan has already told him all he knows.
It is a lot of work, but Diarmuid needs information, and he has never been one who does things by half measures.
He is sorry to those who get the message more than once, though...]
Greetings everyone. I know right now the focus of many of us must be battle preparations, but it has been brought to my attention that something strange is going on at the Pool of Souls. This place is a place of peace and healing and cannot be allowed to be defiled. As such, I am asking anyone who sees this and knows anything about the area--be it rumors you have heard or travels you have made there--to share that information with me. I do not want to go into this unprepared for there are many dangerous groups who play this game with us, and I have no wish to become their prey.
[The possibility that this disturbance is being caused by an Unseelie has crossed Diarmuid's mind, but he finds it a lot more likely an outside group like the Cult of the Fox is involved. If not the Cult of the Fox, it is just as likely to be one of the other cults that have sprung up since the Void started moving so much closer.]
No piece of information is too small, so please don't hesitate to share. I look forward to hearing from you.

( Which is why she enjoys his company as much as she does, and bears such affection toward him. How could she not? He is wonderful. Giving and kind, yet strong and wise. Would that Björn were here to benefit from his influence rather than Ragnar's. )
I will do as you ask. Don't begrudge me, though, if I find it difficult to imagine anyone being greater than you. To me, it simply isn't possible. There is no one like you among my people. Who are but reflections of the time in which we've lived, too. And yet. You and I are from the same era, aren't we?
( She smiles with quiet pride, which shifts into a suggestive grin. )
You aim to capture my holding, do you?

You are too kind to me. I would say his greatness and mine differ, so that it is not really fair to compare them. However, please, make your own judgments and let me know. I have to admit I am curious to know what you end up thinking.
[He nods at her words.]
We are, but people are individuals, each one shaped not only by their time or their location in the world, but also by the events they face in life. For the most part, I lived a blessed childhood and that really helped shape who I am. If Aengus had not taken me in, I shudder to think how much different I would be.
[Diarmuid doesn't even want to think about what kind of man he would have become if he had been raised by Donn instead.]
I do not know if I would say capture.
[A wide grin crosses his face.]
But I surely would not mind joining you there on a more permanent basis.
