[In a rare moment of using video on purpose, there's Jayce. To those who know him, he looks the same as he always does. To those who don't- he's an early 30's man with seemingly a permanent five-o-clock shadow, bright golden eyes, and perfectly coiffed hair. The background is out of focus, but to those who know it, it's clearly a part of S.T.A.R. labs. Normally a little more jovial or at least less serious sounding, Jayce looks into the camera like he's giving a press release.]

We’ve got about forty-eight hours or less until Aurora allows that toxin into Etraya. Which means if you haven’t started taking precautions already; start now. Get easily carried food, medical supplies, whatever you think you'd need. Better to be over-prepared than under.

Considering what Aurora's told us about the "mission"... If you’re someone prone to having weapons, do us all a favor and throw them into one of our many, lovely lakes, before you wind up using it on someone else. Or, if you’re going to be touchy about it, let me know, I’ll talk with Harold about how we can get them locked up somewhere for the mission’s duration.

As a reminder to those who don’t want to think about it, and maybe new information to those who are new: if you die here, for whatever reason, you lose something. I don’t know what, you won’t know what, and you might not even know what it is you’ve lost even after you’ve lost it. Maybe it’s an eye, maybe it’s the memory of your best friend. Either way, whatever you're afraid of by not having your weapons on you isn’t worth what you’ll be making someone else lose because of your bad decisions.

If you have any special concerns, worries about any specific denizens in this upcoming mission, now's also the time to voice it.

By people not wanting to toss their weapons into a lake, or the reminder someone half your age almost took you out? A few times, apparently.

Do you not fight?

[He looks so big and for what! But maybe if he's not a fighter it will make more sense to Maelle as to why he finds it so easy to simply say part with your weapons.]

Do you have friends here that do?

[personal profile] maellum 2025-09-19 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't. I was just going to offer my friends as people who would help you too, if you needed it.

I do get where you're coming from.

It's okay.

Lune and Sciel. And Gustave, my guardian.

Sciel knows almost everyone here, I think. Are we being volunteered?

Me, too. I don't want to think about being here without him.

That sounds exciting.

Do you have people from home, too?

[personal profile] maellum 2025-09-20 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
We've done dangerous before.

Oh. I'm surprised. I didn't know how common it was for people to have so many people from home with them. That's good.

Must be true if I'm also telling you, right?

We had someone leave, too. I think. He's weird like that.

Does anyone have any idea what happens to the previously dead?

[personal profile] maellum 2025-09-20 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Sciel's actually the most fearsome. Can you believe that?

I'm guessing dead is dead outside of this place.

[personal profile] maellum 2025-09-20 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's definitely Sciel.

Which side of the coin are you on? Or is that too personal a question, here?

[personal profile] maellum 2025-09-20 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone is alive "for now" when they're around, yeah? Unless you're immortal.

[personal profile] maellum 2025-09-20 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Then maybe you don't go back? That's an option, isn't it?
