Video - UN: peerless cucumber Dated for 11/23

[softheartedshizun]

[ Shen Qingqiu seems to be in a state, at least roughed up a little and restrained, the movement implies there is travel happening. ]

I am a little worried... Eleven and I have been detained and are on our way somewhere.... My guess is the destination is not good, and if you don't hear from us after this... well....

[ Where was an easy mode when you needed one! This wasn't fair! Give him a break! ]

Assume the worst I suppose.

[lancifolium]

Where are you going? I'll come find you.

[softheartedshizun]

As if they would tell us that easily.

Though, who would want both of us?

[ If he thought about it, this was inevitable, wasn't it? Fuck! ]

[un: sprite bulb] voice;

[bearshermark]

Rigarda.

[lancifolium]

[ There's some clatter and muffled cursing as she drops the pendant hearing that. ]

Eleven– [ She takes a split second to steady her voice. ]

Are you hurt? Tell me everything you can and be careful. I'll find you.

[softheartedshizun]

And do what exactly? How does this scenario end? We are reduced to canon fodder.

[lancifolium]

Nobody in this group is ever getting reduced to any kind of fodder. We look after each other.

[ She might sound very reasonable, but her voice is tense and nervous, it's obvious she's already rushing around, figuring out what she can so she can do what must be done. ]

[softheartedshizun]

The consequences so far have been severe, if we fight against this, can we even stay here for much longer?

[lancifolium]

[ Her imagination is working a mile a minute on all the horrible things that might happen, but the alternative of doing nothing is out of the question. ]

We'll figure out something, everyone is getting through that Beacon and back to where they belong.

[softheartedshizun]

That would be a nice goal.

It's the how to get there that is the hard part.

[lancifolium]

One thing at a time. Have the guards who arrested you said anything?

[softheartedshizun]

Not particularly, but that's to be expected.

[lancifolium]

Just keep us informed - I'm on my way to check where the weapons were. If they're gone it's safe to say that's enough to confirm our suspicions about Rigarda.

[softheartedshizun]

I will try, but I imagine once we arrive we will be stripped of out methods of communication. If that happens... I leave things in your care.

[lancifolium]

Keep yourself safe, try to keep Eleven safe too. I'm working on a plan. We're not going to leave you two out to dry.

( Excuse. )

Unnecessary. Their cannon towers collapsed.

[softheartedshizun]

[ Not literally!!!! ]

I'm not talking about their cannon towers.

[bearshermark]

I'm okay. I'm cooperating.

[He sighs, low] There isn't much more to say, but arresting both of us like this, I suspect we know what this is about.

[lancifolium]

Just keep telling me as much as you can about what's happening. If she intends to throw you in prison for the weapons we'll figure out how to get you to safety.

[ Quietly, fiercely. ] Stay in one piece.

[bearshermark]

I'll do my best.

[At least, he thinks they're likely to be publicly executed and that suits them better for a rescue.

..Possibly.

Eleven takes a breath, then hesitates for a good several seconds]

And tell We- our friend- that I haven't changed my mind.

[lancifolium]

I will not, because that will not be necessary, because you are not going to die. We are going to help you.

[bearshermark]

[Well. He didn't expect her to pick up on that as quickly as she has. Still, he's made his will known if the worst does pass]

..This isn't a part of the palace or Bonaccorso's mansion.

[lancifolium]

[ She's always paying attention. ]

Still a mansion? Can you see what's around you at all?

[bearshermark]

Mmn. It's a rather large estate..

[lancifolium]

Do you remember anything about the carriage taking you in, or the guard's uniforms?

[bearshermark]

Nothing notable about the carriage. For the guards, I think I can only tell you they aren't Macaluso's uniforms.
