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.]

[ Her face lights up, and it's audible even in her mental tone. ]

I'll ask her about it! But I'm sure she knows, she's really smart and responsible about these kind of things.. [ Not that Chizuru's image of Sen might not be a little idealised, but it's still close enough to the truth, anyway. ] And maybe it'll be safer too to go with more people.

[hakodate]

[Depends on safer from what, he thinks, but when Chizuru is that happy about anything, he's in no mood to kill her mood that easily, so he bites back on that thought.]

Just let me know, then.

[tealeafs]

I'll go look for her now.

[ Since she figures it's probably easier to discuss it with her face to face instead of like this. ]

I will let you know when I have her answer, hmm! It should still be a while more before everyone's decided where they're heading out to, right? [ Because with Chizuru being Chizuru, she's seen more familiar faces in passing she still wants to check up on before they all get seperated. ]

[hakodate]

I think so. Takes a little time to get things ready for that kind of travel, anyway.

[tealeafs]

[ She nods to herself, even if it obviously isn't visible since.. well, mental communication and all that..

Besides, he's right - she assumes they're probably going to go by horse since she hasn't seen any of those things from last time, what were they called-- .. cars? Something like that? They looked a lot easier to just hop in than on a horse, so she guesses someone still has to arrange those too. She should have a while. ]

I'll report back to you later, Hijikata-san. [ off to find Sen now! ]

[hakodate]

Okay. You know how to find me.

[Namely, "if you can't find me, just think really loud."]
