un: moonage daydream (text) about 24 hours after shen qingqiu and eleven's arrest

[lancifolium]

You've all already seen the message from Shen Qingqiu about how he and Eleven have been arrested, so I will skip the redundancies.

Wei Wuxian, Five, and I have been able to piece together that they were taken by Rigarda due to the failed weapons shipment they were tasked with last month, we've learned that the two of them and the weapons will be sent out of the city eastward to be delivered to the undead lords meant to be appeased on Taravast's behalf.

Given the chaos in the city at present, the suspicious eyes on our group, and the very heavy fortifications of Rigarda's mansion, we've decided to disguise ourselves and intercept the shipment of the weapons once it's out of the city. We intend to retrieve Shen Qingqiu and Eleven and flee without leaving any casualties, so the convoy can resume the rest of its delivery.

If anyone has heard anything from or about Eleven and Shen Qingqiu, or if you've got some skill with stunning or otherwise incapacitating people while in a rush, your help would be appreciated. We need to be as discrete as possible and do what we can so that our actions go unnoticed, I have no desire to end up in prison as well.

Otherwise, if you don't mind - if asked we were with you the whole time.

I've been approached by some of Rigarda's servants asking for help.

[lancifolium]

Rigarda's servants? Have they told you anything about what's happened to either of the prisoners?

[chosenfordarkness]

They've been imprisoned but are scheduled to be delivered to the dead. It's some sort of agreement Rigarda has with them.

[lancifolium]

Please pardon the abrupt question but, why did they come to you with all this?

[downswing]

Incapacitation.

[lancifolium]

Enough so that they do not get in our way, but not so severely that they will not be able to recover after we've gone and resume their horrible journey. Will you come?

[downswing]

Then, spared.

[ Five has been busy, so he didn't notice what she was writing before he sees their entire plan in writing. Perfect. This is why he loves teamwork. ]

Are you sure you didn’t miss anything?

[lancifolium]

You're right. I see what you're saying. I wanted to be sure anyone who had something useful to say came forward!

[somebadnews]

[ Five isn't used to people realizing he's right this quickly, but since he is and she knows that, he waves it off... now that he's distracted by some of the replies. ]

You don't sound confident that we can handle this.

Do you have your route of escape planned out? bringing them back into the city might be difficult unless there is a good place for them to hide. have you thought of where they will shelter?

[ He does not trust Lily not to tell them their exact location and where they're going, but thankfully he saw this first. ]

I've thought about it. It's nothing you need to worry about.

[beitangmoran]

[... Five he could literally get a vision totally at unawares showing him the place, so, you know...

But he understands caution, thankfully.]

Good. We'll be suspected of getting them out no matter how discreet you are, so we might as well make sure they will not be found for long enough.

[lancifolium]

[ Fine, Five, fine. ]

I promise they'll be safe.

[beitangmoran]

Take care not to be recognized either. They will suspect us first no matter what so let's not give them any fodder.

I'm not really who you need if you're trying to go for discreet, but if you need a place to hide afterwards, there's many empty houses in the Southern District.

[People who died in the cold, or just moved out and aren't coming back.]

[lancifolium]

Your strength will be missed. We've thought of somewhere very safe they can stay. I won't let anything happen to them.

[scrapgege]

Well, if you end up needing to punch someone really hard, call me!

Shen Qingqiu sent me a message asking for help. I'm coming with you.

[He will come even without permission, damn it!]

I am more than capable of incapacitating people.

[Discretion may be a bigger problem but like. Disguises, you know.]

[lancifolium]

He was able to send a message? Did it reveal anything more about their situation?

Good, we need people who can do it quickly.

[wooden_one]

I left him with a messenger haitang before. Though it seems some sort of interference has made the message a little garbled so I wasn't able to hear some of the details.

You must be Lily then.

A friend of yours has sent me to deliver something to you personally. Perhaps it may help.

[lancifolium]

I've never seen your name pop up before.

A friend?

[ambitiousblond]

I've just arrived in Taravast yesterday.

The Merchant.

un: azure stream

[jeoha]

I will join you.

Though I warn that an ambush never goes according to plan.

Do you know their numbers? Their defense?
