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.]

I think... our priority should be to make sure no fighting ever starts. If the lords can't agree on a candidate for the throne...
[Wait, wait, any minute now she'll remember the whole clueless noob thing - ]
I, I mean, if everyone thinks so too!
no subject
[But look, Sio -]
This is why we need to be careful about the cannons, though.
no subject
[But WAIT. There is totally a way to subvert this mature and sensible realisation.]
But... if only we had a cannon, then, we can scare everybody else into behaving!
no subject
It's on the last resort list. But we also don't want to stir up a panic if we don't have to, or unite everybody against us.
no subject
[Nope, sorry. Now you got her inner warlord going.]
no subject
It also means we have to get all our information the messy way, and there's no going back to the clean, easy way, so we're not going there yet.
[Yet. He acknowledges the possibility.
But he doesn't like to torture people when he doesn't have to so RECON FIRST, DAMMIT. :[ ]
no subject
N-no, I don't mean we should threaten anyone! [Well maybe not much...] Just, if we want them to work together! So, so they don't fight!
no subject
[ snow's gonna be hasty for them, anyway ]no subject
no subject
[He's not discounting the possible use of them, and as such -]
Think you can work out how long it'd take to build one here, without letting any of the natives figure out what you're up to? It'll be good information to have if we hit a wall later.
no subject
S-sure! They've got to have a forge in Flamegard, right? I'll tell them it's for, for... something!
no subject
[He'll give her a chance to do it on her own first, but. Don't go in there and try to lie and choke on it pls Sio...]
no subject
[She's the worst at lying okay she'll take what she can get.]
