TO: EVERYONE | avengers, assemble!

[ this comes through clear and is broadcast to everyone, though by this point sam is very aware that a good amount of people won't catch it. he tries, anyway, knowing some responses may be off or delayed or corrupted from a select few people, but he's not going to limit this.

he has enough information at this point. something is wrong, and it's not faction-focused. they need to act, and they need to act now. ]
THIS IS A CALL FOR ALL SUMMONED CURRENTLY NOT MIA
IN CASE IT HASN'T MADE IT TO YOU YET- SOMETHING'S HAPPENED
A GOOD PORTION OF SUMMONED AND LOCALS ALIKE HAVE GONE MISSING
AND IT WASN'T THEIR CHOICE
I'VE GOT REPORTS FROM THE FREE CITIES, SOLVUNN, AND THORNE ALIKE
AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE, WHEN THIS SORT OF STUFF HAPPENS, YOU HAVE TO ACT FAST

SO I'M SETTING UP A SEARCH AND REPORT SYSTEM FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP
IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY OR THIS ISN'T YOUR JAM, FINE
BUT IF YOU WANT TO HELP, HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW:

- ANYONE MISSING HAS CORRUPTED ACCESS TO WHATEVER NETWORK THIS IS, AS WELL AS THE HORIZON

- THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN BY FORCE ACROSS ALL FACTIONS

- WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ENDED UP, BUT AT LEAST SOME OF THEM ARE CONCIOUS ENOUGH TO REACH OUT

-THEY’VE ENDED UP TOGETHER


PLANS RIGHT NOW INCLUDE:

HORIZON PATROLS TO SEE IF WE CAN CHECK ANYONE WHO CAN MAKE IT IN, NO MATTER HOW SHORT
>> I'M GOING TO BE SETTING UP A HOME BASE AT MY PLACE IN THE HORIZON.
>> A LOT OF Y'ALL HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE
>> SHOW THE WAY FOR NEWBIES,
>> IF YOU STILL NEED HELP, I CAN DIRECT
>> ITS A PLACE TO DROP INFO OR JUST CHECK IN
>> WE’LL HAVE SHIFTS
>> HILDA AND PETRA ARE TAKING THE LEAD HERE

INVESTIGATION INTO KIDNAPPING SITES
>> ONLY GO IN GROUPS
>> AND I SWEAR TO GOD— BE CAREFUL
>> WE DONT KNOW WHAT WERE UP AGAINST

INFORMATION COORDINATION ACROSS FACTIONS
>> YOU MIGHT GET CONTACTED BY SOMEONE NAMED NATASHA
>> SHE'S HELPING ME OUT
>> DONT PISS HER OFF— IM WARNING YOU

REACHING OUT TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES / OFFICIALS TO SEE WHAT THEY KNOW AND WHAT THEY CAN OFFER
>> IM GONNA BE TALKING TO THE PM OF CADENS,
>> BUT PEOPLE IN SOLVUNN AND THORNE WILL NEED TO SHARE WHAT THEY LEARN


IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO ON ANY OF THIS, NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK UP
IF YOU WANT TO HELP, REACH OUT TO ME
IF YOU WANT TO ASK AFTER A FRIEND, WE’LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO
THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS FIGURED OUT IS TOGETHER
[ in other words….

AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE

and no, sorry nat, he’s not saying it aloud. ]

[Of course he will volunteer, and he certainly plans to loop back around to that regardless, but-

The dots. They are connecting.]


What do you mean sent with two of our number?

[ha ha ha oops]

Two summoned volunteered to have my trackers implanted and were purposefully abducted.

[The dots are officially connected, his mind careening back to his message exchange with Ciri. Would she have...? She seemed to make a point of reassuring that she was "fine", though that doesn't necessarily mean-

No. She would be the type, wouldn't she?

Frustration blooms white-hot in him.]


Why would you do that? When we can't know what's happening to them now? When there was never any guarantee of getting them back? Or even know what their captors want with them?

I had the equipment readily available and we decided it was worth trying. Everyone involved understands the risks, and already we have more information about where they're being held than we did at the start of this.

And I hope that's a comfort to you if they never return to us. If they end up dead.

[Not helpful. Not helpful, he knows -- but he needs this flashfire of cold anger to wrench its way out of him first.]

Ciri volunteered, didn't she.

You don't need to tell me something I already know.

She wasn't going to take no for an answer.

[personal profile] supersoldier 2023-03-07 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine.

[A very cold sort of a "fine", the sort that reveals it isn't fine at all, actually, but what can he do? She's already made her choice; already taken with the rest.]

I will be part of whatever initiative there is to find them. Your gamble had better pay off.

If it doesn't, I'll answer for it.

You're going to need to learn quite quickly that you simply do not stop Ciri from doing things.

[If he doesn't know Ciri was one of the volunteered -- then, oops.]

[personal profile] supersoldier 2023-02-27 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't expect to stop her from doing anything.

I expect her to have good sense once in a while.


[No, he suspected. This is confirmation, at least. CIRI WHY DID YOU DO THIS]

Oh, my boy. You've stumbled into the wrong family of Witchers.

[As true as this may be, it hardly makes him feel better about the situation.]

Are they always this way?

[This is a new level of risk-taking, jumping headfirst into danger. And really, it shouldn't surprise him, knowing Ciri, but it still settles unwell. Deeply.]
cointosser: ([157 - S2])

[personal profile] cointosser 2023-03-07 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I have only known Ciri a fraction of the time I have known Geralt, but she is alike to him in so many ways... so yes. The answer is yes. And would you like to know the most frustrating, lovely part? They will both insist they are not this way, while absolutely being that way. Every single time the opportunity arises.
cointosser: ([163 - S2])

[personal profile] cointosser 2023-03-07 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Better yet, if you do the same stupid, dangerous things they do, they will insist you are the stupid one.
