3rd Circuit, Video [UNSEELIE LOCKED]
[Loki and Hiro have taken a small room in Diasbaile, mostly barren save for the wooden cabinets that seem to blend into the background. Loki would have done this himself, but there was insistence on Hiro's part of aiding in the delivery of the very, very bad news. The focus is on the two of them, and Loki speaks first.]
Hello.
This is a message of the emergency broadcast system. As you can see, our sirens are down for the moment, but I assure you that the news is none less dire.
[Loki's voice drops to something uncharacteristically serious.]
Ah, yes. So—listen up, Unseelie.
[Hiro's sitting almost a little too close to Loki, face more ashen than anyone in their court has ever seen. It's a reality they have to face and while he'd been hoping Loki would find some more information in his research, they're running out of time.]
Some of you had a vision at the beginning of August. A dream about fire and machines with shards for eyes. I didn't have the vision myself, Loki did…but we can both confirm these are real. These things are being created now and they are coming. Monsters that run on shards and blood. But there are some things you guys don't know yet.
[When Hiro stops, Loki barely glances down before he picks up without missing a beat, as if he's giving him a moment to collect himself. Loki looks perturbed at the recollection of the golems, but not nearly as pale as Hiro.]
Our dear friends the dwarves have crafted mechanical monsters, forged from melted metal and living shards. These mecha-beasts are brought to live with blood magic and runes. Not your basic run-of-the-mill runes, not even my fancy-smancy "stay out of my room" runes, but hundreds of them in intricate designs—sorcery that's very possibly lost to antiquity—all working together to bring them to life.
And if that isn't nightmare material, these large, metal machinations have keen senses when it comes to shardbearers, even those that find means of hiding themselves, if you get my drift.
There are hundreds, even thousands of them, with no exaggeration.
[The longer they stay on camera, the more Hiro finds himself shrinking into his sweater. Loki delivering the brunt of the bad news helps, but dredging up the memories is more than mildly horrifying. There's one key factor though that they've neglected to mention.]
We don't know when they're coming, but judging by the amount of time between the last vision and its turnaround to coming true, it's soon. Really, really soon. We don't know when they're coming and we don't know the full extent of what they can do or why they're being unleashed.
[A pause.] Ideas. We need ideas on how we can combat these things and how to keep everybody safe. Start using your brains and focus on what's really important here.
[The important thing, he thinks, is that this war? It's much, much bigger now than just Seelie vs. Unseelie. It's now about just staying alive.]
I would suggest highly against approaching them… [Loki glances at Hiro.] …As I’m certain we’ll offend them somehow.
[Considering the fact that there are other things…he can agree with that.] …right. Defense ideas then. Lay 'em out. [A beat. And then:] Privately, if you would. Doesn't matter if they're coming for all of us…this is still a war.
[And he sure does know that there are certain devices generated by a certain witch that can see this broadcast. He had agreed that the Seelie should know what's coming. Doesn't mean they should be privy to everything else, too.]
Not exactly how I pictured life in a giant robot series, hm?
[Though that’s meant more for Hiro. They have some questions to answer, and Hiro needs a little bit of a perk up.]
[Hiro at least gives a small grin in response, but says nothing else. Definitely Q&A time.]
[ooc: As a note! Most threads will be answered by Hiro, but he may call on Loki for assistance. Additionally, Hiro is aware Hermione's compasses can see posts on both networks so those with compasses are capable of seeing this post. They just won't be able to see the threads in this post. Have fun guys o/]

And anyway I'm already trying to convince Ariadne it's not safe for her. [Sort of.] Jack can make ice weapons. Rin's checking out some stuff for us. A lot of people are jumping in with questions and ideas. It's just about putting it together into something we can actually use. [He sort of buries his head in his hands, talking into them instead.] I hate that we don't know more about these guys.

Rin may be one to put coin on. She's experienced in shards, and rather good at what she does. If we frame it right, we may be able to figure out something to hold them back. [ always buying time. ] Or at least something useful in the way of magical artifacts.

So, he's not exactly keen on that.]
Do you think she can guess the reason why they're using shards? Shards trump all, right? Or do you think this is just ... them using the shards as battery power?

[ his dark brows knit together, creating a crease. ]
Shards know where other shards are. They're drawn to each other. That metal beast came to life, it looked at me, despite my multi-layer of invisibility. It's more than just a battery. It's turning them something sentient.

It's the Cult conundrum all over again. Just replace the puppets with little assholes with a strong sense of self-preservation.

I told you about this a couple of days ago...do you have any other ideas? [He knows Jason has a lot on his plate already, but it doesn't hurt to ask.]
video | private to both
No.

After that though maybe we'll have a better idea of any plans we can come up with.

[It's clear, though, that being asked for ideas has put him in a bad mood, so he kills the conversation then and there. Sorry, buds.]
