[ When Eggsy starts up the video broadcast, he's standing in an outdoor area of the Station, in front of one of its restaurants. He'd come close to his place during his scouting mission last month, but he hadn't had time to investigate back then. It sounds like they've got some hell coming their way, but there's not much they can do before those mechanical creations appear except for prepare.

Right now, he's planning to kill two birds with one stone. ]

So what's with this place? It's like a tiny slice of home.

[ Despite the modern surroundings, Eggsy's puca is milling around in the background, a dark and nasty creature that he somehow managed to tame -- sort of. ]

Are we allowed to stay here? Then again, might not be the best idea. There's been some earthquakes... I think.

[ They don't get them in London, so he's not that familiar with what they feel like, but still. The ground shaking for a few seconds without any warning... what else could it be?

He draws a hand over his mouth as he runs through his mental list of what else he wanted to ask. ]

Oh, also. Battle's comin' up, I need a teacher for sword fighting and magic and archery. I know there's loads of different kinds of magic, but if you wanna tell me what you specialize in, it might help me figure out where to start.

[ This whole thing is kind of awkward, talking to no one and everyone at the same time, so he finishes off abruptly. ]

Think that's it. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

[ Once he's done with that, Eggsy pockets his locket and starts to explore the rest of the Station, so he's primed to run into anyone who might call it home -- or anyone who's there for a visit. ]

Five, but you can call out Raven's Wing now. Either will get you here.

[As all the spires that had their own name grew in power and bodies, the imps and fairies changed the rings accordingly. Wasn't that so helpful of them?]

[madeover]

[ Trying to keep both the numbers and names straight in his head is going to be a challenge, but Eggsy's sure he'll get the hang of it eventually.

So he nods. ] Right. And I can just come whenever? [ It feels a little rude to just show up, since the spires are sort of like these people's homes. ]

[withbite]

[The ring would drop him off outside the base of the spire and there was a bustling town around it. There was always a guard at the ready near the ring on the off chance one was needed, but otherwise, traffic came and went as traffic tended to. Not many shardbearers came out this way, though more seemed to lately with the Oasis not far from there.]

If you want to send a message on the locket first, feel free. Or a raven. Or whatever other way of communication they have here. Sparkle letters in the sky.

[Hear the tone, Eggsy. Love it.]

Otherwise, whoever you talk to will direct you to where you can find Fernando.

[madeover]

[ Sparkle letters in the sky. Yeah, Eggsy hears that tone and while part of him wants to roll his eyes at it, part of him thinks that they all need a little more humor around here. ]

Fresh out of ravens and sparkle letters, so I think the locket will do.

[ Still, it all sounds simple enough, so he nods. ]

Thanks for all this. [ He glances down as he says it. ] Know you don't got to do any of it, but you went outta your way, so -- yeah, thanks.

[Damon waved the sentiment away.]

I don't know about you, but I want to go home. Which means there needs to be a home to go to. Which means... our side needs to win. So if that means offering services to keep more of us alive, that's literally the bare minimum I can do.

[madeover]

[ Well, Eggsy can't argue with that logic. It's a little easier to accept what Damon's offering him when he's aware that there's a selfish aspect to it too. It's hard for him to believe that there are many people out there who do others favors out of the goodness of their hearts. ]

Makes sense. Suppose I'll be seeing more of you soon, then.

[ And he'll get a glimpse of that Oasis place too, though Eggsy doesn't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. ]

[withbite]

Most likely. Try to keep yourself alive until then.

[Probably a little of column a and a little of column b. Mostly column a, but... hey. It was what Eggsy would make of it.]

[madeover]

[ That's such a common sentiment at this point that Eggsy barely blinks at it. ] Yeah, you too. [ Though it shouldn't be a problem for a vampire.

With that said, Eggsy gives a lazy salute and then ends the transmission. ]
