telepathy to all

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!]

I...yes. That's one potential application, if we wanted a body count.

You don't think they're asking for it?

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

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.

[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.

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.

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.]

Indeed.

[ and, speaking of: ]

Ready to ready your team of fighters, Velvet?

Ready or not, we're going to see what they're all made of.

I'm almost just as curious to see how the city will react.

I'm willing to hazard a bet that they won't be happy.

[ the backlash will likely be swift, and they'll be removed from the city immediately. roy doesn't really seem to mind the thought. ]

At any rate, we'll have a pleasant tour of the outside of the city on our way out.

[If it comes to that, Velvet won't exactly miss this place much, either.]

You think that's the worst that will happen? I have a hunch they didn't capture members of the coven just to punish us for breaking their stupid rules. There's probably something else that they want out of it.

The worst that will happen is that we'll be executed, but I don't see the need of spelling that out in front of a group of watching children.

[ again, mildly enough, but roy isn't stupid. the risks are large, but he won't be leaving riza and the others trapped in there forever. ]

But being removed from the city would, obviously, be the best case scenario.

There are going to be children directly involved. I'd argue that they should understand all of the potential consequences, but if you don't want to get into it, then fine. It definitely wouldn't be good for morale.

There's a way to tell children the potential consequences without scaring the hell out of them.

[ there's a pause. ]

I have at least a semblance of hope that the children involved are at, bare minimum, capable, but that's probably hoping for too much.

Most of them aren't idiots, from what I can tell.

[Yeah, maybe wishful thinking? The sound of her long sigh carries over to him.]

I doubt it would go over well, but if you're that worried, then tell them all to stay out of it.

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

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.

[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.

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.

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

[Private for two seconds.]

Thanks.

[ 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.

[ 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?

[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?

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

[ lightly! ]

But I think we can work something out.

I'll hold you too it.
