♔ sept || we are on the edge

[ensorceler]

[Micheletto Corella]

I would call upon you for a task of a nature you might find solace in. That is, if you did not fall to the disaster.

I expect a hasty response.

[/Micheletto Corella]

[Spike Spiegel]

It seems I owe you a deep gratitude, as I once did my lady knight.

[/Spike Spiegel]

[Kalinda Sharma]

Are you well and good?

[/Kalinda Sharma]

People of Cair Paradisa, I see that you have done well to begin recovery of the city's oppressive damage. I would encourage further recuperation, as it is only through such open-hearted cooperation that we can find accord with one another. I have also heard tell of an idea for an orphanage, and I find this a much overdue and very welcome prospect.

As for the others wishing to seek answers in the great beyond, I also cannot discourage the pursuit of knowledge, especially regarding a land many seem to know so little of. In point of fact, you have more than my blessing; you will have my accompaniment.

Who will be leading the charge?

_{[ Well, aren't you... an interesting one. ]}

Felix is helping to organize it, and I am helping with preparations for individuals. Are you aware of what will be needed and required should you accompany us?

[ensorceler]

I know of what is expected for a hunting trip or travel abroad.

[wishmadeinfire]

Yes, that is mostly what you can and should expect here, with the added possibility of hostile individuals potentially attacking us. It has happened before.

[ensorceler]

Is that not an expected risk for all travel?

[ You always risk getting attacked by bandits or wild animals or who knows when going out, it's just a thing she assumes everyone should already know. ]

Who has assaulted these expeditions before?

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[ Paradisa has a bit more than all of that, but close enough for the time being. ]}

Any number of strange creatures than have no right being alive, for starters. There is always the risk of running into First Gens, as well, and then there is the idea we have no idea what we are headed to at this new place. Possibilites are literally endless.

[heloise]

There is a shelter and children living there still seeking their parents.

[ Of course, after so many days, the hope is almost gone. ]

Would that make an orphanage in a Queen's eye?

[ensorceler]

The search for their parents should not be halted.

[heloise]

Never, but they do need care in the meanwhile.

[ensorceler]

Do they accept supplies brought from the castle?

[workaphilic]

Oh, delightful.

[hey anne are you going to be his travel buddy.]

[ensorceler]

[ Oh good, maybe Micheletto can make sure Sherlock has an 'accident' during the trip. GOSH MICHELETTO WHERE DID YOU GO... ]

I did not invite your poor jest.

[workaphilic]

Not a jest. I'm genuinely eager to see the results.

[ensorceler]

[ Just die. ]

You insult me. All you do is insult me. You would do well to keep your distance during this trip, sir.

Anne

[gottaknockhard]

[As much as he always feels awkward getting thanked, at least she's sounding like herself again.]

Don't worry, I'm not keeping track.

Spike

[ensorceler]

You do not wish to be rewarded likewise?

Anne

[gottaknockhard]

I'm sure you'll make it up to me.

[Knowing Spike long enough is accepting that you'll have to drag him off to the clinic at some point.]

Spike

[ensorceler]

You can be certain of that.

Will you be traveling out?

Anne Boleyn

[kalinda]

I am. [Sigh. If only she could say the same about her apartment...]

Kalinda

[ensorceler]

I am glad, for I feared the worst. I would say you ought to live in this castle for gentler handling, but it was not so safe after all.

Anne Boleyn

[kalinda]

[!!!] Did anything happen to you?

Kalinda

[ensorceler]

I am recovering well enough.

[ If she scars on her arm, though, she'll be so upset. ]

[whichwayyoulean]

It's not so much a charge as a...meandering kinda walk, really.

It was always Raine's thing. I'm not sure who's taking over now.

[ensorceler]

I have been told a man named Felix is organizing this event, but it seems a terrible mess, if you ask me. Were I in better condition, I would take charge myself.

[whichwayyoulean]

It usually is. You wait til things start trying to kill us, then it's a real free-for-all.

...Oh?

[ensorceler]

I am no soldier, but it is clear to me that they need more direction. The fact that the leader himself did not respond is beyond insulting; it shows weak character.
