iii. video. open, then unseelie-locked. backdated to the end of september, ~29-30th
[UNLOCKED: VISIBLE TO ALL.]
[Candlelight laps at the dim image of the Brucolac's face, showing up mottled scars along his cheeks. His expression is tired. Whether it's the light or exhaustion, his olive skin looks faintly greenish.]
Alyosha of Redgate is dead by the hand of Reynard the Fox.
[It's not a lie. She is exactly as deceased as he is. He sighs out a breath, tches faintly, and moves on, his hoarse, scratchy voice impassive.]
Unrelatedly, I require information on the thief who stole the feathers of the birdking. He wasn't found? Did anyone pick up a trail?
[He knows he wasn't found. Hence (partly) the current sticky situation he's in.]
[LOCKED TO UNSEELIE.]
I'm at Caer Scima.
[He hisses through his teeth, rubs his forehead; his head is pounding, thick knots of tension twisting in his temples, pain shooting down his neck, bursting behind his eyes, tightening his jaw. Bone-dry and grimly humourous, he says:]
If anyone, preferably human, feels they have a surplus of blood.
[That sentence is left unfinished, the conclusion—in his mind, at least—obvious.]
[LOCKED TO ALICE & BERSERKER.]
[Flatly:]
What the fuck happened.

[ooc: I realised too late that dating it this way means it went up a few days before new arrivals, damn it! but PLEASE feel free to have any newbies reply a few days late, if you so wish. c: ]

...I have business in Caer Scima. But afterwards—
If we continue to be so obsessively focused on the split between our two courts, he could feasibly destroy both. If you want to keep him at bay, then I may be able offer Unseelie help.
[It won't keep him at bay. But it may well allow for Alyosha's men at Redgate to distribute the sigils while Reynard is distracted.]

Definitely. He'll cut down any non-Shardbearers like they're grass, though; I've seen it happen.
[ The deaths of his men and women still rests on his conscience, along with all the other deaths along the way. ]
We have to do this right.
[ And preferably without getting punished by their own courts or killed by the opposite court while they're at it. ]

[He brushes his fingertips to his lips. His mind is working. If Reynard is the force he seems to be, he could be the leverage for a truce, but that seems a desperate gamble; he thinks of Ganondorf, of Morla, of the Jabberwock.]
He'll be weakened. And he can't control his shards. He'll come for any shardbearer he can... [Ah.] And I know someone who can't be harmed by him. Whose presence might allow me to enjoy the same luxury.
[And the Brucolac knows what Reynard wants and where they can be found.]
We'll talk about this later. I know a place which may be safe to discuss in.

[ John's a Marine. He's good at blunt force.
Luckily, he's also very hard to kill. ]
Just let me know.
