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/]

It also makes total sense that Rin's a Master. Of course she is.]
How's it mutualistic if it's a lot of your own energy being pumped into them to boost their stats? [He's not discounting what she says, but genuinely curious. The rest of that does sound troublesome though. He's hoping she benefits more than just the spiritual link.]
It is kinda cool to think about though. [Because that knowledge paired with what Rin might already know...she has a good shot of having an answer.] We'd really appreciate your help if you could think back and find out if Lancelot picked up anything from the dwarves.
private video;
It varies from Servant to Servant. Lancelot kept watch over me and believed in my causes, so if I needed a bit of muscle to get something done, I could rely on him. [ Plus he kept the Barrel safe.]
I know that he was an apprentice of a dwarf named Gret? I'm not sure how Gret would react towards a Shardbearer his pupil was loyal to, but I could try to seek him out for answers.
private video;
On the other hand, his reaction to the news about Gret is a little bigger as his eyes grow wider and he seemingly pushes his face closer to the camera of the locket.] Dude, I don't know if going to Gret's a good idea when he might be the one behind all of this. Lancelot wasn't the only apprentice Gret had and they still kicked everybody out. [Then again...] How long was Lancelot working with him? Do you remember?
private video;
[ Possibly for some time after. This is what happens when you don't keep an eye on your ghost that you've made a pact with. ]
Geez, they kicked everyone out? It may be a good idea to stay away from him in that case. [ As much as she doesn't want to, Rin's not stupid enough to dive headfirst into trouble. While she feels as if she should pick up what Lancelot left behind, she also knows that this may be a situation where it's not feasible. ]
private video;
[And now he sort of wishes he'd known that a while ago. He could have asked Lancelot himself about stuff regarding the dwarves before he disappeared.]
They started kicking everybody out in August and locked their gates. Why do you think I took Loki? [Less of an invitation and more of "Loki helped us break into places we weren't allowed."] Thing is we don't know if they're going to stay locked up, or if it'll be even worse and they just pretend that they did nothing and they're going to try and blindside us. They don't really get the whole shardbearer thing and just kinda offer to take them from us...but now it's less of an offer and more of a force. Whole thing sorta puts us back at square one and it's why I was hoping to find somebody on our side that might have hints of how to disable them.
