...who let him even use the network, honestly

[deconsecrate]

[ Travelers, remember when you were recently informed about a terrifyingly organized group of dragons? And how this information was imparted in a manner grave, suitably solemn and noble and stuff?

...this probably won't be anything like that, just as a precaution. ]

Not to interrupt anyone's plans for the evening, but--

[ Hawke does not have any of them fancy image-sharing skills, so you're all just going to have to take his word on this. ]

I probably should let someone know there's herd of dragons on the move here, making a terrible mess of the tournament-grounds between Rivergard & Westgard. Bit bigger than the last ones, although not as many! Thank the Maker for small favors.

Does anyone know what you call a venery of dragons, by the way? I've always wondered*.

Problem is, I'm not sure who else is close enough, or will be able to get there fast enough.

LeBeau was around Westgard before he decided to take care of the dungeon portal. If he gets back in time...

[God, who else can make things explode? So many of them are perfectly deadly but don't have the kind of range that would really be useful here.]

[moredakka]

I need just one person who can open portals. We'll do precision strikes...

[Her hesitation and slight panic even out into thoughtful confidence, bit by bit. This is what she's good at. What she's for. Except she has no idea about half the variables she's working with and none of whether Hijikata is going to be remotely okay with letting her do what she wants...]

Doesn't have to be ranged fighters. We'll borrow gryphons. We just need to be really really fast. They can't be expecting us to be able to strike everywhere!

[hakodate]

There weren't a ton of us left after Belljar who can open portals. Neria, Verreuil, LeBeau, Okita... [By which he means not his, because his is just Souji. Shit gets confusing.]

...wouldn't be surprised if a few more have learned, recently - I did, before this jaunt started - but I'm not sure who else we're looking at, then.

[moredakka]

[See this is why you need a chain of command. She isn't about to go on about that, though, not now. Now it's time to improvise wildly.]

Neria-san and Okita-san were here in Greengard so... I'll try to round up a team from here. If I can...

[This is the weak link in the plan, alas, rounding up her team. She's a tactician not a recruitment officer.]

[hakodate]

I don't know if I can get out there in time or not. Depends on shit here, but I'll try.

[moredakka]

[Sounds like she's on her own for a while there. She takes a deep breath.]

It can't be helped. [The voice that thinks that... may not be entirely Sio.]

I will... do my best.

[hakodate]

[Wow, that doesn't sound ominous at all.]
