bando: first blood part two

[bypartisan]

Can anyone hear this?

Just so everyone knows, I'm dead again. Please let me know if my soulless body is roaming around liminal. Currently my consciousness seems to have been summoned and somewhat bound to this world by the Master Summoner of the Sun Guard. He's asked me to spy on a woman named Sora. According to the information I've been able to exchange with a delightfully gossipy ghost named Keiko, Mademoiselle Sora is actually the Summoner's long-lost and estranged daughter, Ran, who ran off from the monastery ten years ago and is currently a Suzuki Riflewoman.

Keiko also assures me that Ridou and Ritsuki--that is, Riddick and Valeri--are adorable together, but I digress.

I did have to explain werewolves to the Summoner, but I managed to distract him enough by explaining the transformation process that he didn't think to press for the rest of my origins or my own mission. I wouldn't say he trusts me, per se, but he seems to recognize that in my ghostly state I can't exactly report to any of the other major players and that I could be of some use to him as I am. And I presented myself as being very willing indeed.

I'll let people know when I have more news. As it is, it's been a while since we've had an information pooling conversation. If you can hear me and you have something to share, please report in.

...Gods, Kotei's the eldest now. We'll be lucky if they don't burn down half the province.

Oh good Lord, you're right. They're doomed.

I'd suggest sending someone to shepherd them and mitigate the damage, but after two murdered siblings and a dead spy, I can't imagine they'd trust a stranger right now.

... doesn't Ren's little fiancee control water or am I misremembering? If she went with him when he left...

[amadine]

I believe she is. And she flung herself into exile alongside him. I can't see them being any more difficult to separate if they were stitched together.

At least we'll have someone to put out the inevitable fires.

[amadine]

A slim hope, that.

I'll take what I can get at this point.
