telepathy to all

[splinten]

I need everyone who is down for a rescue mission to say what they can do in terms of wrecking shit and/or support skills, and any strategies they have for getting in. We do not need to be stalling on this. Peach is in the goddamned castle and Bowser has not been demonstrably a nice guy, so let's get the fucking hat on and move.

Skills, strategies, plans. Let's get them out and get going.

[ooc: threadhopping obviously allowed and encouraged here!

EDIT: some ooc plotting here!]

[He assumes two things:
1) she's a vampire
2) she's been not vampiring lately.]

At this point it isn't my call to trust you or not. If you think you'd help our people the best on the infiltration team, go for it. And don't fuck up.

[splinten]

[Dirk, who would love to set everything on fire to fix this, has a deep understanding for the need to get something done to fix this.]

That sounds like you'll be better for the team that has to break in. We don't know how much we'll have to go through to get in there. Someone who can get the people there to back off would be a major asset.

[splinten]

A2 suggested you'd be best helping us get in, get data, and get everyone out. We need to get whatever data we can about the layout before and while we're there, and we ideally need to get data on what's outside the city so we have a place to go after. Are you down for that?

[splinten]

I'm sorry.

[His telepathic tone is mostly monotonous, but there's the slightest inflection. He has genuine empathy for that.]

Healers are always helpful. We might need that more on the decoy team, since they're designed to come into open conflict. Are you good with that?

[He isn't going to say they may need healers once they get their people out. Her sister is there; either she's already thinking of the possibility, or she doesn't need to have it brought up.]

[teratias]

I'm pretty sure killing people will make all of problems worse!

[teratias]

Then it has to be decoy, plain and simple.

dirk strider and roy mustang planning a jail break in is everything i needed out of rp.

[insubordination]

[ ALL ROY WANTS TO DO IS JUST SET FIRE TO THIS ENTIRE GODDAMN CITY AND THIS IS THE WORST but you know sometimes you have to play chess instead of checkers ]

Consider it done. I would rather be inside the jail than out, anyway.

[ the sooner he can personally get riza out of there, the better. which reminds him: ]

The individual that I know, that they took, is the best soldier that my country has to offer. The people trapped will be safe as long as she's with them. It also isn't the first time she's been illegally held under duress.

[ fuck you, king bradley. ]

We have some amount of time, but whatever they're planning to do to whoever they've captured must be soon. They must know we're planning this, by now. We should move quickly.

lmao omfg.

[insubordination]

You don't need to kill anyone to be useful.

[ VELVET NO but also velvet yes ]

Clouding someone's vision may be essential, especially if they use firearms.

[justiceobjects]

Uh, weird drugs? I can't say I know much about that part.

I'm not denying that this is getting shady. Look, I doubt anything I say is going to change minds at this point. I just really hope that your 'storming the castle' idea doesn't end up with all of us locked in the dungeon.

Or something like that.

[deem]

She's right. That's what a Scanner's for, after all. I'll see what I can find while we're getting organized here; better to go in with some data than blind. I doubt they've got security I couldn't get past.

[allconsumed]

[Close enough!]

I won't. That's all I need to hear.

[Not much point in extending pleasantries, is there?]

[allconsumed]

[It's fine. It's fine! It's fine.]

I'm not saying it won't be useful. Besides, even if he doesn't have a stomach for killing, we can count on him to be stupidly stubborn in the face of danger.

[insubordination]

We need people in this world who have no stomach for killing.

[ not everyone can be a soldier, and that's exactly how the world should be. ]

He'll do just fine.

[allconsumed]

I won't argue with that, either. There are other people that he can leave the rough stuff to.

[People plus androids, and daemons, etc. She does want him to stay safe, despite the sass.]

the irony of roy mustang talking about clouding vision...

[teratias]

Thick, dense fog type crap I can do and how about we don't talk about the merits of me killing people?!

LISTEN THAT GOT FIXED HE'S FINE NOW

[insubordination]

Calm down.

[ LORD YOU ARE A LOT KID ]

There are no merits to taking a life. It's not something to be joked about or taken lightly. You'll do what you need to do, and nothing more or less. You're not going to kill anyone.

IT'S STILL DARKLY FUNNY

[teratias]

[And imagine. He was worse before he magically summoned Alexander the Great.]

Fine. It's just a weird conversation to overhear and NOT actively participate in.

it was dark times waver dark times :')

[insubordination]

Well, you're actively participating now.

Your gift will be useful, especially in covering the people who need to fight. Just keep your head down and protect yourself, first and foremost, and you'll be fine.

OH MY GOD _NO._

[teratias]

Yeah, I can do that much, don't worry.

[Private for two seconds.]

Thanks.

[rebells]

"Hacking." Right.

[He sounds a bit bemused by the concept.]

If we can't find a map or anything like it, we may have to case the area the old-fashioned way.

[private!!!] 1/2

[insubordination]

[ there's a slight pause. ]

Taking a human life is the most serious burden a man can bear, and it's not one that can ever be removed. There's no shame in wanting to avoid that. It's a good quality to have.

The world should have more professors in it.

[insubordination]

[ and, to avoid any insinuations of weakness or otherwise: ]

I know you can. Don't screw it up. I'm going to be relying on you if I get caught, to keep myself and the others safe.

If you need help, find me in the madness. Clear?

[teratias]

[For once, there isn't any smartassing or adding on from Waver. Mages are meant to be comfortable with death, theirs and others', but it requires a level of cold-bloodedness that is built up over time.

Waver's far too young to have gotten to that point yet.]

Only decent professors. I've had some bad ones in my time.

I'll get in touch with this network if something goes awry. You know this means my work will require an extension, right?

[argenteums]

» Thanks... any word on where they are, though? Can't do it without everyone on the same page, right? «

[insubordination]

We'll discuss sanctions when we get our friends out of prison.

[ lightly! ]

But I think we can work something out.
