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

that said, he retains an air of amiability even now. he's sure not going to be the one to ruin this vaguely cooperative situation, though he's expecting Okita or Okita or Chizuru will probably break the news at some point.]
I agree that following those five might be one of the better courses of action. Of the people here, I think that they would require the biggest focus, too, if our problem really is the missing queen... The one in yellow in particular seems very dedicated to finding her. I was able to talk to him earlier for a little while.
no subject
Get anything interesting out of him?
no subject
He gave me a couple of things and said that he would talk to the one in green for me, but I'm not sure how relevant any of it might be yet.
[he's got glowing magic stuff now, though!!]
no subject
[wow that's so helpful.]
no subject
Like I said, I don't think they'll be very relevant. Just a stone and a coin.
no subject
You never know what shit's gonna be relevant in these things, trust me.
[Or, you know, don't trust him, because he sure isn't sure about trusting you, but trust that.]
no subject
All right. [he sounds like he's being genuine, at least?! Hijikata may be on his 'cause great problems for' list, but he's also been here longer and doesn't seem likely to botch up a mission for the sake of lying (unlike some people named Kaoru). THAT SAID he will actually divulge a little more information on the off chance that it is relevant. he sure doesn't want to be dealing with anything weird on his own in a foreign land that has dragons...]
That was it. He framed the coin for me and the stone has a pretty glow to it, but after seeing what else he can do, I'm sure they were just little trinkets for an interested bystander.

They seem fine so far, at least.
no subject
[If shit can mess up on these things? It usually will.]
no subject
If not, I'll let everyone know. [if it seems like a big deal, anyway.] ...Do you know where the majority of us seem to be heading so far, by the way?
no subject
no subject
All right, thank you. I'll do my best to help whoever I can in the meantime, then.
[by which he means he'll dedicate his time to finding out where Chizuru is going... except then he's going to end up wandering in the opposite direction anyway whoops don't bang his sister while his back is turned]
