voice; open to both courts

[reticence]

[Faolan is not one for making announcements. Being a spy, he does not like to put himself in the spotlight. But he needs information. And they need this information as well. So after consulting the necessary sources, he turns to the lockets.

When he speaks, his voice is soft yet strong and sure. And a lot smoother than his normal speaking voice. He's got to disguise himself somehow, after all. He is used to using this tactic, and he is good at it. For those that know him, it will take a moment to recognize him from this speech.]

Fellow shardbearers. A moment of your time, I beg you. If nothing else should catch your attention on this day, then at least heed this announcement. A great force is rising. Some of you may have heard of Reynard the Fox, Lord of Maupertius. Violent, fickle, and unstable, he enjoys power and conflict, and having turned on both courts at once, he is seeking both for his own means.

Reynard is collecting shards, Unseelie and Seelie alike, for the purposes of gaining power. Unseating a monarch, perhaps. Creating his own court, certainly. Creating his own army, his own champions. Collecting more shards. Gaining more power. We cannot allow such a man as Reynard the gains that he seeks.

Be wary, fellow citizens. Be on your guard against him. A slight man with long red hair, beardless and fair of face, who flies a banner of a red fox on a black field. They say he is deathless, that he can transform into a fox. If you are cornered by him, run. If you are seeking him out, don't. His gain is everyone's loss.

For those who have encountered him before, I seek a few answers. A gathering of information. What has he promised you, if anything? What dealings have you had with the man? What do you know of Reynard the Fox?

[ lmfao of course, right when some things seemed to be looking up: ]

... Wait what!? How — how is that even possible?

voice foreverrrrr;

[reticence]

[Isn't that always the case though?]

I would ask which part, but then again. I would also remind you we are living in a land of fairies and imps where we are inherently bound by inner shards to serve one faction or another...

[/sass, oops, he's supposed to be giving a fancy announcement here]

and visual on this side! \o/

[sangilak]

[ she is so not in the mood for any sassback, youngin. there's a noise of frustration on her end before: ]

The part about him starting his own court! There's no way he can be as powerful as the monarchs, no matter how many shards he has!

[Wait what?]

When did Reynard turn against the Unseelie?

voice;

[reticence]

What reason did you have to believe he was allied with the Unseelie to begin with?

[What do you knowwwwwwwww]

Text, permaprivate

[gordianknots]

Dealt with him before, but any major points I've got you've already described.

Oh, right. He can also literally turn into a fox, you may want to add that into your broadcast.

And you have seen this transformation for yourself then?

[Something tells him that you might know more than you are letting on, sir.]

Hmph. [There's the battering of a hammer against red metal--]

I had nearly killed that man. I didn't think he would survive, but I suppose my judgement was off.

You were involved...in the battle in Treun?

[Harry had spoken of an Alice and Lancelot being brought in by the Lady - this cannot be Alice, so by the power of deductionnnnn.]

who are you?

voice; private

[reticence]

I am a Friend.

[Faolan's voice is reassuring. And the last word does sound like it is capitalized as well.]

I would give my name if you would give yours?

[enthraller]

[in most cases, saralegui is secretive and close-handed with the information he's acquired. but seriously, fuck reynard. he'll be a bit more free with the info if it means keeping that guy from succeeding at anything.]

He tried to kill me a few weeks ago. It was a very illuminating encounter.

[reticence]

A few weeks ago...

[Faolan does some quick math.] In Treun?

[dragmire]

I have gathered information on Lord Reynard. Some that may yet be useful. Would you be willing for an exchange?

voice; private

[reticence]

More than willing. What are your terms?

[Faolan is all ears.]

voice;

[survivra]

[ katsa knows nothing about him, has had no dealings still new as she is to the drabwurld, but if what faolan is saying is true she wants to know more about it. neither does she have any idea how to listen to other people's conversations (and she's not even in caer scima) or she'd be asking po about his conversation with faolan instead, but— ]

How would you deal with such a man?

voice;

[reticence]

I would suggest that you don't. That if you encounter him, if you even think the man is the Fox, that you run. From what I have heard, there is a power to him greater than that which any one of us can hope to achieve on our own.

[ reynard the fox is a dick. ]

[ for once, his locket doesn't mess up on him. perhaps its magic knows zuko is serious. the content of this broadcast is alarming; if it hadn't been for toph, he never would've made it out of maupertius three months ago. his own tone is quiet, if reflecting. deep in his gut he knew he should've tried to end reynard the fox, but death and murder has never quite been zuko's go-to when solving conflicts. ] He tried to kill me a few months ago. I thought he was an Unseelie ally ...

[Faolan is good at reading between the lines.]

You believed him friend until he turned on you. [As much a question as it is a statement.]

private. voice.

[brainiest]

I -- how did you find out? I mean, what sources? I don't want to be rude, but - this is something I'm trying to help with.

[ She pauses for a moment, gathering herself. ]

I haven't had any dealing with him personally but I'm trying to help stop his growing power.

private. voice.

[reticence]

I have very informative friends. Perhaps you know them as well. They are working towards the same goal.

[And they go by the name of Harry Potter...]

voice;

[knightscode]

If you tell me what information it is you have, then I can do my best to fill in anything more. You speak of him as if speaking on rumour alone -- have you come face to face with the man?

voice; private

[reticence]

[Ah, Lancelot. Faolan had been hoping you might appear. Sigrid had told him off approaching you directly on this subject, after all.]

I have not. A little bird gave word [that would be you, fyi] that it would be unwise to attempt such an exchange, and from what I have heard and understand about the man, I heeded the advice. Especially given his current endeavors.

voice;

[trisscuits]

[And here Triss had believed they were nearly at the end of something as similar to this, back in her world.]

What is it exactly that makes him deathless? The ability to transform into a fox?

[She's that new that she's never heard of this guy until now. And Triss would definitely like to learn more.]

voice;

[reticence]

[That... Is a good question, actually.]

I am not certain. It may have something to do with the power he has gained through the shards he has collected.
