[ America frowns at the video for a second. She's still getting used to this sort of thing. There are more important things to speak of, of course, too. America is just, well, the following: ]

So...I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really, really [and she adds another one because it's not clear enough, right? just as she falls back on the bed she's sitting on ] really bored.

Kamala was telling me about these stories she has from back in her world. I guess it's the world I'm in now, too, though, but I haven't heard a lot of stories in my time. I just need sometime to check these stories out. [ Totally matter of fact and a little more cheerful. ] When I get back, of course. Don't know if I'm gonna start calling it my world, though.

[ She smiles again and sounds more cheerful again. ] I wanna hear about your stories. Your fairy tales and legends. Or whatever you feel like talking about.

[ooc: by all means, feel free to thread-jack and share with each other, or tell stories together. ]

[ America stares at the device for a split second after it comes on, like she's still trying to think of how to word herself. Once she starts, though, she just keeps going. ]

Anyone know a Clara? She's got some umbrella this brat wants back.

That's just a start, though. This kid, with a fox mask, told me some pretty weird things I'm still trying to put together. I feel like Five probably knows more about this than I do.

He said he's got a friend he's mad at. Someone who said there won't be people from here-here much longer. He told me some stuff to get back at him, I guess? But it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The part that did make sense was him saying he, his friend who he didn't name, kind of leaves cast-offs of himself in places to prevent the water from getting him. Anyone know about that, the water chasing someone? Looking for them. The castoffs seem to be allowing him to get away from the water because it goes after them.

[ Look, she's still trying to make sense of a lot of the conversation. Maybe everyone else out there can help her. She's not even bothering to hide this, in her confused tone, and frustration. She also isn't entirely sure how to filter. One-on-one conversations, sure, but not filter. She's bad at filtering her mouth, too. ]

I'm guessing this means we can force his hand to make more cast-offs? I asked if we could stop him, but the kid said we can't. So he wasn't much help with that.

[OOC: PLEASE threadjack, threadjack away as far as I'm concerned, because America has very little insight to what she's been told and needs all the help. The original thread, for ooc purposes, is here since what she interprets might not be the whole of it.]

[Rare Kamala video! She is visibly anxiously as she addresses the pendent, chewing her nails up until the moment she begins to talk.] So some weird things have been happening lately and I think that we need to do something about it. Context: I'm basically like some junior newscaster here. They call it news shouter, but not the point. Honestly, I think I have the job because everything they ask me to say about sounds better coming from someone who looks twelve on a good day. Anyways, so I'm obviously not the only one sharing the news. Each of us have had some weird stuff go down recently. We usually go off submission boxes which is kind of cool actually. It's like mystery box news!

[Her good cheer quickly fades back into low grade anxiety.] Lately all these Senate officials have gotten super invested in what's in the box. They want to make we aren't spreading disinformation. Which okay? That sounds legit even if you have to wonder why they didn't care before. Kind of seems like an excuse to censor the news, but hey what do I know? I'm literally some kid from Jersey City.

But, now a bunch of the veteran news shouters are gone. They were pretty mad about what was going on and not at all shy about it sharing it since duh. We're not exactly a quiet group. Some people are saying they're getting special instructions which I guess is like training? Two of the apprentices think they're being imprisoned at the Senate House of Scribes.

In the interest of full disclosure? I'm totally going there to find out what happened to them. I still have a disguise from home so they won't know it's me.

But, I was really hoping I wouldn't have to go alone. Stealth isn't exactly my strong point. These are people I work with every day. They're innocent. I don't want them to get hurt because I didn't ask for help when I needed it. So if you're willing to help me break into somewhere to check on some people who might just be getting the most boring lecture of their lives? Awesome.

If you think I'm overreacting or we have bigger problems, I seriously don't care. Please don't even respond to this because right now this is my problem and I'm doing something about it. I just really hope one of you tags along since yeah I'm not subtle. I really need to work on that even if they won't know it's me.

[She ends the feed there presumably to stress out some more.]

( Behold: that inexorable moment when a man with the tolerance of a baby kitten has infiltrated the nefarious tavern of Livius Decimus, had precisely two licks of the obligatory drink, and is now alone, sword drawn, brooding morosely at a vast table covered in castaway parchment pieces that two large brown and spotted rabbits are diligently chewing on.

After fifteen seconds of blinking at the pendant: )

Greeti.. ( ...nnnnngs? ) What. did.. what did the... ( Wake up, Lan Wangji, wake up — ) Pro - presss... pros. Proscription lists. What did they look like?

( ...possibly like the parchment scraps one of the rabbits annihilates on camera, while a nearby ~~thug~~ gentleman of criminal arts, seemingly in the know, mutters, You son of a — )

...my son? Mmmmmmmmm. Gentle. Little... not so little? Was little. Kind. Wise. Speak of... yes. Let me speak of my son. He will never marry. Must stay little. In my coin purse. Children are... for safe-keeping.

( ...in coin purses. Does the thug agree? How can he not. )

[ It's been days, and Five still hasn't found that damn missing bride. The more he finds out about this train, the more he'd like to get to the bottom of this 'reality altering' living dream nonsense before it causes real problems. Whatever was going on with that train breakdown, it's obvious things are getting worse. Then there was that weird ass message from the Merchant warning them not to leave the tracks. Like anyone would.

As much as he hates turning back to the network, several of them have been picking up on threads lately. It's possible they have a lead, and after he spoke to the apothecary, he's hoping one will have something worthwhile to contribute. ]

So we know the train and others like it used to make their money ferrying dream thieves. [ It's very possible they don't know that, but Five sounds like he's talking to himself more than the rest of them. ] And the wares that were stolen from the apothecary during the weddings were magic stabilizers and sleep narcotics, powerful enough to kill someone. We also know that no one on the staff has made much of an effort to find what was taken, so there's a chance they were involved one way or another.

[ At least the conductor, who Five doesn't trust for one second. ]

What we don't know, is what their motivations are. The bride is easy enough to figure out, but why help her? [ And now he actually sounds like he's addressing the others: ] Did anyone have contact with the three women who came on board? It seemed like they were just as eager to steal whatever they could get their hands on. Where the hell did they go?

[ Then they disappeared just before the conductor announced that a dream thief was onboard. Something must have happened during the breakdown. There's a lot he's still missing, and he's half convinced it's because he's been sleeping far too many hours for them to get away with whatever they want. And while the solution isn't promising, he still throws it out there. ]

I've got some ideas, but I'll need 100 silver pieces. Feel free to donate.
