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.

( Well its a good thing he's relatively used to consistent nonsense danger, then. Atem nods. ) Then let's try to prepare our peers this way.

It may be worth gathering those who are good with dispelling and seeing through illusions to pair with those who may not have acquired pendants as well.

( A beat. ) Or attempt, at least.

We've got some gear that can help with the illusions some. Mana drives, and some pins you can set off.

They won't last the entire time, but we can keep using the mana drives if people take them. We only have a few though - and I think about forty of the curtains. Pins. [ Whatever. ]

( He doesn't have a clear enough picture of who can do what; he hasn't been here long enough to have anywhere near a good enough connection with even a modicum of the inhabitants. He's no right, really, to take lead on such a thing. ) Who else do you know that's been here long enough to have the information required to best utilize what he have?

If this truly is the return of a larger enemy, we must be strategic.

Uhh... [ Who? Oh- ] Wei Wuxian? The one without the animal parts. He was talking about training and having friends who can help with illusions and focusing. Maybe some of them?

[almukhtar]

I'll see if I can reach out to them. Thank you.
