[ right after the announcement is made, this post goes up ]

Anyone under the age of eighteen. I need you to report in, now. Please.

[ private to: artika, chloe saunders, feferi, jericho, lea, and martin darkov ]

This most certainly includes you.




[ ooc: the plotting thread is over here!

if your character is uncooperative, bariyan (or someone else? other concerned adults, c'mere!) will likely go HUNT THEM DOWN and try to take them to a safehouse built in one of the abandoned subway stations underground (courtesy of robin, anders, and nathaniel). bariyan's got magic powers that let him put people to sleep and he's NOT AFRAID TO USE 'EM so watch out for that too.

note that regardless of anything that happens, chances are that your character(s) will get dragged on missions/out to defend exsilium anyway.


any concerned adults: feel free to report in/threadjack/comment wherever and whenever appropriate! because bariyan obvs can't hold all of these babbus by himself B) ]

[stonefaith]

They're going to attempt to send you out on a mission soon. Whatever happens, do NOT report to the training hall when they come for you.

In fact, you should leave the Hold and the surrounding area right now. Where are you?

pretty sure im under 18

[... he's having a little difficulty remembering exactly how old he is. But he doubts he's eighteen.]

[ whoops, dumbass here forgets to private his response ]

Then you should ignore the impending call to arms. And we'll need to get you out of the Hold. Where are you right now?

NOT HERE

[ dumbass remembers to private this time! ]

Yes. Thank you, Chloe.

We're going to send you out of the Hold until this blows over. Where are you right now?

Not here

[Nikita is in your post stalking the replies. Shit is hitting the fan. She isn't going to be stepping up to bat for the Initiative until they drag her kicking and screaming. But the babbys? Oh, yeah. Totally going to take notes of the ones who show up in here and make sure they stay safe.]

Need help rounding them up?

[NOT LIKE I COUNT, NOPE.]

[stonefaith]

[ LMFAO bariyan wouldn't even know what to do with you, Joker... GOOD THING HE'S OBLIVIOUS RN ]

Yes. I would greatly appreciate your help.

We're planning to take them out to a safehouse underground. A subway station. [ more detailed directions attached ] If you see any of the children not headed that way already, direct them there.

Or I may contact you later. Some of these children may need to be tracked down.

not here bandwagon

[doctorly]

[here is another person keeping an eye on this network as well. riku and sora he expects you boys to listen and not to go. B(

that goes for all you children okay. ]

oh what the fuck WHY DOE2 IIT MATTER.

[stonefaith]

Because children shouldn't be out doing the Initiative's dirty work for them.

[Voice]

[noble_nate]

Need any help?

[voice / private]

[stonefaith]

Yes. I may. ...I probably will.

I will contact you later if there's anyone who can't be found, or... [ or who won't cooperate. bariyan sighs. ]

Until then, could you take any children you see down to the safehouse? Thank you, Nathaniel.

[revelation]

ah, hello! reporting in? (=°-°)ノ is there something we should know?

[text / private]

[stonefaith]

Yes. When the mission call goes out in a few hours, do not answer.

In fact, we'd like you to leave the Hold and the surrounding area. Are you ready to move?

[stonefaith]

We're not letting the Initiative send you on another mission. Or throw you to the mob. There's a safehouse set up outside of the Hold that you should go to.

[ and, yes, forgets the private lock again... someone's not on top of his shit!! ]

[stonefaith]

More like how can we help you. We need to get you out of the Hold and surrounding areas before the mission call goes out.

[He has an idea but...let's not say anything yet until it's confirmed.]

[stonefaith]

Headcount. And to get into contact with all of you.

We need to get you out of the Initiative's sights before they can throw you back to the dogs. No missions, no riot control.

[She has to focus REALLY hard on the words -- they dip and spin and morph into all sorts of gibberish.

The response comes slow:]

who's asking?

[text / private]

[stonefaith]

Bariyan. I don't believe we've met. Doesn't matter right now.

You need to ignore the mission call and get out of the Hold. There's a place set up for you. Are you ready to move?

[It takes some time for Homura to a) read the text, given that she is suffering from extreme dizziness and fainting spells, and b) decide whether or not she wants to respond. But then, she thinks Madoka has probably done so already, without thinking of all the potential consequences, and she wants to know whatever is being told to her.]

Yes?

[text / private]

[stonefaith]

Ignore the mission call. Leave the Hold. If you're ready to move now, I can send you directions.

[Unlike the two losers above her, Mami can read the message with some semblance of ease; it's not video or speech, and so there's less distortion occurring to make her head swim even more than it already is.]

Do you need something?

[text / private]

[stonefaith]

I need you to ignore the mission call when it comes and leave the Hold. If you're ready to leave I can tell you where to go from here.

[theguideless]

Hello, Martin.

[ pause. zoning out. so stressed.... ]

I'm not letting you go back in time again. Or into that mob. Where are you?

[text]

[vestigiaflammae]

what about me?

[text / private]

[stonefaith]

[ from what bariyan remembers, lea hadn't been all that keen on staying out of trouble the last time it had rolled around... he braces himself. ]

You need to leave the Hold. I don't believe you were here for the first mission, but regardless. We're not letting the Initiative send children out to fight again.

[eyecontact]

Hello. What do you need?

[text / private]

[stonefaith]

To get you out of the Initiative's sights. Don't reply to the mission if you're still here when it comes. Which you shouldn't be. I'm trying to get you and the rest out of here. Are you ready to leave right now?

The troll culture appears to be highly different from ours in that they are trained and ready to fight from a very early age.

Eridan in particular is determined to fight. I've given him my word I won't question his decisions.

Having some trouble?

[stonefaith]

Yes. Quite a bit, seems like.

But how are you doing?

[understands_nothing]

Why?

[stonefaith]

We need to get you out of the way. Out of the Initiative's hands. Will you cooperate?
