Uhhh roll call? I know I'm not the only one who suddenly found herself elsewhere. Thorne's ... real interesting.

If someone in Solvunn could check on the orchardists, I would appreciate it, they're a really nice family and they'll be worried.

[ iris? not happy about any of this, but he is sensible enough to realize that might not be a unique reaction.

is he sensible enough not to be so vocal about it, though? alas... ]

i'm in thorne where i'm supposed to be but that stupid portal spat my

[ uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,, ]

roommate out in the other place thorne doesn't like and we're all just supposed to hope none of the leaders are gonna be stupid about it?

It'll be alright. I won't let anything happen to Wilhelm.

[ it should be a relief to know someone as strong and collected as kyle is there to watch over wilhelm — who can certainly take care of himself, iris is sure, but does his brain understand that? no. ]

you can grab people out of nowhere with your void-portal-magic thing right
you see trouble just yank that guy right out of the way please and thank you

[ushiri]

[ ah, well - ]

The void-portal-magic only works on me. But Wilhelm has his own powers now too. He's survived a lot.

Viktor is here too, to talk with the officials.

[inventure]

[ goddammit kyle, ]

i know wille is strong

it'd just be nice if he didn't have to keep proving it

[ what a mess, ugh. ]

should i... do you think it's worth trying to talk to people here?

[ushiri]

I know.

Thorne officials? It couldn't make things worse - but what would you say?

[inventure]

[ ......................... ]

probably something to make things worse

i don't have the best track record with authority

[ushiri]

How so?

[ GIVE HIM YOUR BACKSTORY, IRIS ]

cw: mentions of abuse/torture

[inventure]

oh you know

[ his mom was a tyrant cosplaying as a benevolent savior slash ruler who abused and tortured her only son to prove a point, he winds up in a settlement of refugees whose leaders distrust him on sight and slap a collar on him that could detonate on the off-chance he goes rogue and fucks everyone up like his dad had previously— ]

i'm really bad at following rules

[ushiri]

You're young. That's a given. But it's good to learn all the rules first before you break them.

If you do find yourself in actual trouble, look for Sergeant Ward. He might be able to help.

[ Not much, but better than nothing. ]

[divinityfrompain]

I have no idea. They seem to intend to swap us all back. But it might be a while considering the war.

[inventure]

you'd think they'd be more eager to put everyone back where they're supposed to be BECAUSE of the war

[divinityfrompain]

Yeah, probably. Maybe they can do a ceasefire to swap us before going back to it. They usually do make us Super Special.

[inventure]

yeah, that's a great idea!
maybe we should start pulling our weight and saying none of this is gonna make us happy or something
who knows what we're all capable of when we're unhappy etc etc

[ that? is not a great idea. ]

[divinityfrompain]

No I wouldn't go from that angle, threatening will just make them feel like we're hostile. Just keep pestering them about wanting everyone to go back to the way it was and your friends want to go home (if they do).

[inventure]

of course he wants to come back home! who wouldn't?!

[divinityfrompain]

There's a good chunk of people who don't like where they live and might want to go somewhere else. Sometimes because their loved one lives elsewhere.

[nomnoms]

[ umm??? excuse??? your message is being read by the democratically voted representative of solvunn and so he's a leader?? ]

YOU STUPID

[inventure]

[ ????? tf ]

buddy you got a problem?? we're trying to problem-solve over here!

[nomnoms]

[ !!! ]

I SOLVE NO PROBLEM

[inventure]

YEAH NO KIDDING
