Merriment 3 - Evening (Video post w/ Kaiba & Atem)

[almukhtar]

( Two faces appear, one might be more familiar than the other. Both look Quite Serious™. The one with the bonkers hair starts first. )

I’ll be candid. ( He thought initially to not say anything but as the number of people coming forward grew. Well. His mind had changed. ) Many of us have received and are speaking about a vision. An overwhelming sense of fear and sorrow. A chaos I’ve never experienced before. ( And he’s been through Some Shit as many of them have. )

( Kaiba chimes in. ) And that reminded me of the end of our last mission. The swirling colors, the terror and rage. The massive entity that we’re allegedly up against. Anyone else getting the same feeling?

( Atem speaks once more, after a brief silence. Get ready for teamwork speech. ) While comparing notes, I feel it is equally important to consider action plans. We may only have vague premonitions, but with this potential connection and our combined skills and abilities, we may be able to better prepare for what’s next.

I assumed the same, even before I heard about the visions people are having.

[The weighty sense of loss is strong for him, too, even if it's not strictly a vision the same way others are experiencing. Or at least, it's stronger than Asch's usual background experience of the same, which is significant.]

The problem is in even knowing what we can prepare for; the illusions on the last mission didn't exactly seem to have a limit in what they would make us believe was possible.

[almukhtar]

( So, another person agrees. In ways it is good. They have some idea of what they are up against. )

The suggestion of people keeping their pendants on them might be wise. How many do we know who are good with illusions? I also wonder how much time we have to prepare.

A couple, but your buddy's been around longer than I have, so I doubt I'd be able to add anyone he doesn't already know about.

[A nod at Kaiba, whose name Asch hasn't actually managed to get yet.]

We didn't have much time to get settled in when we arrived, so - another day or two at most, I think.

[It's what they call a fast-paced work environment around here.]

[almukhtar]

That is unfortunate. ( He could work under such a short timeframe if everyone knew him; if he held the same authority here as back home but he did not. So, as much as it begrudges him, he'll need to rework his focus. )

If you would be so willing, please spread the word. Others are already speaking of it but the more people who know the better.
