(The evening after the Liminal Ball, post Sift results)

[Everyone will recognize ROSE's voice on the Network, and will see her in their minds' eye, as though she was using Image Projection - but she's gone fully monochromatic, her voice is curiously autotuned, her hair is done up in coiled buns on either side of her head, and she's wearing a simple, pale blue dress or robe the same color as her skin and hair.]

Okay, hep cats and hoppin' kitties. You did it. Now for our end of the deal.

You and everyone we scooped out of Godzilla's Midnight Snacktime get a free ticket back to the Umbrian Vale, any Spire except Stricken Star, any time from fourteen minutes before we brought you out to fourteen days after.

Me and the Heavenly Choir have veto power, but we trust you and we owe you on this one - so we're listening.

If you need more time here to prep we can give you a little while - but the longer we wait here, the more our options on where to drop you off narrow. For every day here, shave two days off the times we can drop you off after; and two minutes off the times we can drop you off before.

I'll open a channel where you can talk to me; a channel where you can talk without me; and a channel where you can vote.

((OOC: voting will close at 11:59 PM CST on 1/9; a fresh Jaunt plotting post will go up immediately thereafter, and the Jaunt will resume sometime on the evening of 1/10.))

That's the highest probability scenario.

That's... actually not that bad. I mean, it sucks that the houses and homes are gone, but the most important resources that Fallenheart had were in those terraces. They can rebuild the houses.

We'd just have to lure the fucking Nation-Eater away.

And we're certainly good enough at flashy displays to manage that much.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yup. Get the fucker out into the wastelands, try to kill him, portal the fuck back out.

[reallymean]

Or walk back - once we've brought down the one that attacked Fallenheart, we might want to limit our use of portals, just in case there are more of them out there that haven't woken up yet.

[thornsofmalkav]

Good point. Which means we want to lure it somewhere that's feasibly walkable.
