[Yuan sounds serious, tired, and grouchy. But doesn't he always?]

I've been down to the prisons. No one is left inside.

This has been a long time in coming. I know that many inside and outside the Peace Patrol have noticed its decline. The inaction, the indecisiveness, action too bold or too secretive when it was taken...a lack of focus. We tried to be everything we could possibly consider the castle needing to keep order, and in taking on so much, we began working at cross-purposes to one another.

This is the official annoucement, then: The Peace Patrol is disbanded, as of this entry. The main headquarters area will be repurposed as a general information and gathering center, and remain secure in case of emergencies. Those who have materiel in headquarters, please claim it; anything that remains by the end of the week will be stored securely elsewhere.

Those who still have an interest in making the castle a better and safer place for others, I encourage you to do so. The remaining facilities are at your service - use them as you see fit. Form your own groups, if you choose, but any groups so formed will be better off starting fresh without the stain of association with the Patrol in any case. I will not be forming my own, nor will I be joining any such group myself, but if anyone would like assistance with something specific, I'm willing to hear you out.

[Martel]

Have you got a minute?

[/Martel]

[Doctor]

Might I prevail upon you for storage space for some of the things Tony left behind? I can't think of anywhere more secure to put it than the TARDIS.

[/Doctor]

((OOC: So that's finished. I checked, and Legato has been moved. Anyone else who was still in the prison, please assume that your character woke up in bed in their room at the castle, or wherever else you please - we're going with 'the castle did it' on this one, just to bring closure to the whole mess.))

Comments

[wilder]

[Huh.]

[Well this changes some things for sure.]

[supes]

Thank you, Yuan.

[That said, he's going in to retrieve Tony's red sunlight lamps from storage. Definitely not leaving those with no security on where they're going or who would have control over them.]

[cloakand_danger]

I haven't done anything worthy of thanks.

Yuan

[encryptedlock]

Understood.

And for what it's worth, you did a damn fine job considering all the random cultures people are from.

York

[cloakand_danger]

...I appreciate the sentiment.

[cheerupemoborg]

[Then it was true after all. BRB lookin' for the prisoners.]

Yuan

[cricketycricket]

Of course. I already have the suit he bequeathed to me, so moving the others won't be too much trouble.

[he's ... not even going to think about the rest of the announcement, right now. he'd just barely gotten back in good spirits, after all, and to start thinking about how fruitless and pointless all his hard work was, in the end, without much in the way of apology to him ... well.

he's not going to think about it.]

Doctor

[cloakand_danger]

Thank you.

...I wish I could have done better. In the end, I wasn't the leader they needed, and with everything now...it's better to let them start fresh. It has to be.

Yuan

[hulloeverything]

[Eleven frowns as he reads. Well... that wasn't quite what he'd expected.]

Of course. I'll gladly take the suit left to me, the steam powered vehicle I was helping him with and whatever else you need moved.

Doctor

[cloakand_danger]

Thank you.

Deliberately Unfiltered

[hard_talker]

What? No. No, you have got to be fucking shitting me.

You make the effort to bring us all together, and now that it's going to shit, you call it a STAIN? Sounds like you're just giving up.

[TCH. he is officially disgusted with you, now] I thought you had bigger balls than that.

Dictated

[cloakand_danger]

The Patrol has a long, checkered history that began long before you arrived. I had hoped that I could make it something worthy of the people in this castle.

I was wrong. I wasn't the leader needed to make it happen, and as things stand, letting others begin afresh seems like the best course of action for everyone's sake.

Call me names if you like, but if it makes you so angry, better that you use that energy to begin your own effort. For my part, I'm done pretending to be a hero. I haven't been- [He shuts up, and hastily blacks that last part out with a pen soon after it's recorded.]

Yuan

[ofthefaintsmile]

I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. It was an accomplishment.

Teresa

[cloakand_danger]

Hah. [He chuckles bitterly.] That's more kindness than I deserve, but I'm grateful for it.

[gevurah]

Were they any prisoners remaining before it emptied?

[cloakand_danger]

Two, the last I was aware: Nikola Tesla and a Dr. Horrible.

Yuan;

[payback]

You put a lot of work into it, Yuan. For what it's worth, if people are willing to browbeat you for dropping it but not to put any of their own work in to starting new efforts, then they're talking nonsense.

Rin

[cloakand_danger]

I appreci- [this is scribbled out, and he tries again.] Thank you, Rin. That means a lot, from you.

Yuan

[lord_wizard]

[He really hates that it's come to this, but he doesn't blame Yuan for it, and he feels a tiny flicker of worry at the tone of the half-elf's message]

I'm sorry it didn't work out, Yuan. Even more so that I couldn't do more to help. I feel I may have done quite the opposite, in the end there.

I don't intend on dissolving Chimera, however, and I far as I am concerned you are more than welcome to be a part of it.

Felix

[cloakand_danger]

The timbers were rotten, Felix. You may have leaned on the siding at some point, but it's the responsibility of the house's owners to repair the foundation before it crumbles.

I have considered resigning from Chimera as well. It would probably be for the best, considering. ...But I don't want to abandon you in your work, either. ...I may take a leave of absence from its activities for a time, if that's all right.

Just enjoying the show.

[jimfromit]

[So his new friend was right...intresting.]

Yuan

[heal_theworld]

Of course I have. What's wrong? [That's the first thing out of her mouth, even though she has an idea what it might have to do with. After all, even she had heard of the mess.]

Martel

[cloakand_danger]

I have something I want to give you.

[He's not even talking about the Patrol mess. He doesn't want that to affect his life with her.]

I can come by your room, if you'd like.

[mal_addict]

[She's had enough of talking about the chances of the Peace Patrol, of losing faith in it, of giving up. That isn't what draws her attention to this entry. There's even a slight panicked tone in her voice]

What do you mean no one's left inside? Where are they?

[cloakand_danger]

I don't know. There's no sign of forced entry or exit, and the security cameras conveniently went out for a little while - without having tripped any of the computers' security systems, either. Either someone is good enough to leave absolutely no trace on anything, or it was the castle.

Yuan

[selfless]

[Yuan.... she can only imagine how hard this must be. Maybe not to disband the Peace Patrol itself, but... more to have something like this fall apart.]

Thank you... for always working so hard to protect everyone.

Colettte

[cloakand_danger]

[He knows she means well, but...]

Don't, Colette. ...I've failed in yet another endeavor. The best thing now is just to move forward and not dwell on what I've done or not done in the past. Just to make the future less of a painful embarrassment.

[He doesn't need her pity.]

[loisfuckinglane]

I can't believe it comes to this.

Still. I'm glad someone tried.
