So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

Yep. I called it 'Ordine' or something. Pretty fancy, don'tcha think?

[But there's a lighthearted sigh behind the feed. Between you and Rean, I swear.]

I mean it

You really pulled through for us
fiddlestick: (elliot095)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-02 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Ordine...yeah, that's a very fancy name. Like something you hear in legends.

[.....

Ugh. Crow's being sincere. Way to make him feel guilt.]


No, it was my fault to begin with. I'd knew about that power of his for awhile, I just I didn't know how to tell you guys. And so you were caught off guard and...

No excuses. I'm sorry. It was luck my spell even worked, I didn't know it would. And if it hadn't, it could've gotten much worse.

[Oh my god Elliot not you too.]

Even if you told us...None of us knew Rean would get it here

Or when it would trigger. We'd be caught off guard no matter what


Sure, you could've told us, and it might've helped. But I don't think that would've stopped whatever got ahold of Raina from going after me

Point is, you're forgiven
fiddlestick: (elliot093)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-02 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Crow just because you'd let him get away with actual murder doesn't meant he can't feel guilt!!]

I...guess so. I wasn't expecting it to come to light in that way.

[Schwarzers sure are something]

Thanks Crow. I'm still going to feel bad about it for awhile. Especially when I still haven't found Rean.

[personal profile] jurai 2019-03-02 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Take all the time you need. We're our worst critics and sorting through that bullshit's just gotta take its course

[But his tone even in text form changes when Rean's brought up.]

He's been leaving me on read ever since it happened
fiddlestick: (mild concern)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-02 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
He has?

But you didn't do anything wrong. You just defended yourself.
jurai: (58)

[personal profile] jurai 2019-03-02 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah

[Now it's Crow's turn to not sound convinced.]

He did what he did to protect me, though. I saw the look on his face when I stopped him from chopping Raina in half

It looked hurt
fiddlestick: (elliot172)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-02 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[....]

No. He wasn't thinking straight. There's no way he'd be unhappy now that you didn't let him chop his sister in half.

I remember him telling my other self about a time it happened. It sounds like he just goes berserk, and only regains his senses later.
jurai: (♥️ | 33)

[personal profile] jurai 2019-03-02 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I'm sure he's happy now about it. And I don't regret it for one second

But he had some kind of clear, instinctual goal when he was like that. It wasn't just him lashing out at everything he could


[Crow would've been caught up in that crossfire a lot sooner were that the case.]

Pretty sure he wouldn't have stopped until Raina was served on a platter, though, so it's good we had a way out of that. Even if the whole thing was because of me

Them's the breaks, huh?
fiddlestick: (elliot094)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-02 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Crow...

None of that was your fault. You had no way of knowing it'd happen. Not with Raina, and not with Rean.

I should've told you guys about that power and Zee should've been clearer about what to expect in the gates. Anna lost an eye when she scouted things on her own, Zee knew it was dangerous.

But you didn't do anything. It's just...very Rean he'd go overboard with protecting someone.
jurai: (79)

private;

[personal profile] jurai 2019-03-02 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm

The whole thing stemmed from Raina feeling like she doesn't deserve people

Seems like she and Rean are two peas in a pod, and one pea branched out a little, so she attacked



As far as Zee goes, yeah, he's kinda cryptic to the point of unreliable
fiddlestick: (ohhh noooo)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-02 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Her too? Just what was their childhood like...

[JEEZ]

Yeah. I know he has a lot going on, but I'd kill for a little more warning.

[personal profile] jurai 2019-03-02 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I'm wondering. It sounds pretty normal but

Then again, everyone seems normal on the outside


[He and Elliot are proof of that.]

You've been here the longest, how much can we trust Zee on this? I know in the end we don't have much choice but

Seems pretty arms-length
fiddlestick: (elliot155)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-02 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Eren does not seem normal on the outside.

[he knows what you're getting at Crow, but still. Even he has to admit: Eren does not seem normal what so ever when you meet him.]

..Arms-length isn't a bad way to put it. I think Zee is on our side, and is willing to help us. He actually listens more to app users to an extent, which is more than the rest of the staff.

Still, I wouldn't say trust him 100% either. He's still part of Retrospec, and they still have plenty of secrets.

Yeah. You got me there

[Then again Crow only sporadically accepts Eren as a man from this era.]

On our side or maybe just with the same enemy. Who knows...

Agreed, though, I don't like the need-to-know basis he puts everyone in. And seriously, trying to hire us? Just how are we gonna list them in our taxes?
fiddlestick: (crow)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-05 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh my god Crow that reaction]

Yeah, who knows which it is.

Haha, something tells me that Retrospec doesn't pay taxes.

Seriously. Zee asking us for our resumes like

Do you think we got time for your interning?


I'm already looking at hospitals to hook up with
fiddlestick: (elliot113)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-07 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, no kidding. All this retrospec stuff makes it hard enough to keep up with classes and jobs as it is.

Any luck with the hospitals?
jurai: (41)

[personal profile] jurai 2019-03-08 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I've got a couple, some fire departments too if things don't work out there

[Though, he doesn't expect too much of a problem. Weird how he's strangely confident in his life job wise.]

I'm gonna run a couple by Eren sometime soon

The one I gave the prizes from the arcade sure liked me
fiddlestick: (nod and smile)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-03-08 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, sounds like you've really got your bases covered.

I'm not surprised they like you, any hospital would be lucky to have you.

It's hard to get your foot in the door, but..heck, what isn't these days

You flatter me, though~

I'll always be the slacker who eats oreos and texts at 2am for you guys

Haha, amen to that.

We wouldn't have you any other way.

Really? You wouldn't trade me for a slightly more responsible model?
