backdated to the end of the tournament/after the illuminated do their thing

[hakodate]

Seems like now might be a good time to get ourselves on the same page.

[To put it lightly. They've had days to wander around, get acclimated, listen to the gossip...and now between everyone wrapping things up to return to their places after the tournament, and the infodump so thoughtfully provided by the local mage-types, the real work begins.]

People are packing up to head home. That leaves us with a lot of possible leads to follow. I know at least a couple of us were thinking of following Jaeger back to Flamegard; Verreuil was talking about following the guy in yellow.

Westgard's hiring knights, and from the way people were talking when the notice went up, it sounds like the offer is unusually generous. Might be a good way to get in the loop on that; it's sounding more and more to me like the throne is why we're here. Keeping an eye on the nobles is probably in our best interest.

And I doubt that's everything worth looking into, obviously - that's just the shit I've already heard about. Anyone got anything to add? We're gonna have to divide and conquer here, but it helps if we know what we're dividing to begin with.

[And after a moment, he adds -]

All of mine from back home, consider reporting in here an order, not a courtesy. [Because goddamn he's got too many of you to keep track of, throw him a bone here.]

I assume we will not be giving them back.

[notinthecards]

Not unless someone takes them on the wrong road, no. Then they might not have so much choice.

[weaponxx]

Which roads are the wrong roads?

[notinthecards]

The white horses can't go north; and the big workhorses can't go south.

[weaponxx]

Understood.

[notinthecards]

Everything go fine so far for you, petite?

[weaponxx]

Yes.

[notinthecards]

Have you tried the roasted chestnuts?

[weaponxx]

They are very delicious. We will have to remember how to make them.

[notinthecards]

Maybe I ask the vendor for the recipe.

[weaponxx]

You will ask?

[notinthecards]

Of course, petite.

[weaponxx]

Like you asked for the horses?

[notinthecards]

But there's a difference. The prices for the chestnuts were reasonable.
