Yeah, this is getting bad... [Day after Joker (aka, Hajime) being attacked]

[lunchleader]

Hey, guys? This is Right. I guess I'm kind of a newbie, but that's not important right now. We got a problem. A BIG problem, one different than those Hunters Thorne talked about earlier. You guys heard about Baadur? He's my boss; I work with his pack as one of their corvigers. Nice guys, but you don't wanna piss off the girl werewolf. Trust me; she's that scary.

Anyway, last night, one of the others got attacked by one of Bagrat's men. His name's Joker, and he was protecting one of the other corvigers when it happened. Joker's okay. He's hurt, but Baadur patched him up. He also got proof of the attack, too, so that the local authorities can get on it. But Baadur and everyone else thinks that Bagrat's trying to go after us in order to scare Baadur into dropping out of the election. They also think that his people might be the ones that attacked that person close to Lady Elphaba recently, too, so that she could drop out as well.

That's not happening. This isn't how elections are supposed to be run. You're supposed to just debate and bicker over policy stuff, not try and kill each other! And we need to find a way to get this jerk and his people to stop.

Oh.

[She was hoping he'd survived; it might have been helpful to talk to him. Then again, it might not have.]

I'm glad he's okay, or going to be - especially after what happened to Baerry.

[lunchleader]

Yeah, he'll be fine. Baadur's pretty good with magic, so I'm sure he'll help patch Joker up alright.

Still...this is getting pretty bad. People of the candidates attacking each other...this ain't how things are supposed to go.

[seestheworld]

I know.

[She's quiet for a moment, thinking.]

We need to catch of these people alive. But I really don't like the thought of waiting around for someone else to be attacked.

[lunchleader]

Anyway we can find them? Like...any magic that we can use to track them down?

[He's seen Baadur use magic a couple of times now; he knows that it exists in this world.]

[seestheworld]

I don't know. Scrying, maybe? If we could predict when it was going to happen, then maybe we could intervene.

[lunchleader]

Scrying works...but is there anyone who can do that? I mean, I could ask Baadur to see if he could do it. I know that he wants whoever's doing the killings caught - either Bagrat, or those hunters Thorne mentioned. But is there anyone else who can?

[seestheworld]

Good question. I might be able to get Elphaba to teach me how to do it - assuming she knows - especially if I couch it in terms of looking out for our safety. But I don't know if I'd be good enough at it in time. I'm sure a number of us could pick it up pretty fast, but there's still the same problem.

Finding an Infiltrator who could do it might be our best bet.

[lunchleader]

I don't know if Baadur's an Infiltrator, but it certainly wouldn't hurt for me to at least ask him how to do it.

Is there anyone else you know that's Infiltrating and might be able to do it?

[seestheworld]

I'm not sure. Elphaba's kept me busy learning the ropes here, and right now she's not inclined to let me go talking to strange people by myself, so I'm of limited help right now. I'll keep an ear out, though. Baadur sounds like a good choice, though - and even if he doesn't know how to do it, he might know someone who does.

[lunchleader]

Wow, so she is that upset...

Make sure you give her hugs and a shoulder to cry on as well, okay? Cuz she probably needs them.

[seestheworld]

Yeah, this hit her hard.

[To be honest, it's hitting Minako pretty hard, too. She'd liked Baerry.]

Will do.

[She just wishes she could do the same for Yua.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Baadur's an Infiltrator. I met him at my dead party.

[lunchleader]

He is? Okay, good. I'll try and talk to him, then. If I can't do so before the full moon, I'll try right afterwards.

[thornsofmalkav]

That works.
