Attention subjects of Region 06: Luceti. A traitor to the Malnosso organization, known to you as Catherine, resides still in your enclosure after earlier attempts to detain him. Report his location so that he may be detained and brought to justice to account for his crimes.

Failure to comply will carry its own consequences. You have six days to comply.

((ooc: The Malnosso will not be replying to his. Characters are free to discuss among themselves in the post.))

Any reward?

[Once a Career...]

voice:

[victorbychance]

Stop.

voice:

[shenevermisses]

Why?

You know I'm not the only one thinking it. So. Let's get the question out of the way.

Are we just being threatened? Or is there something in it for us as a reward?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[Oh well, this is interesting.]

Why don't ya just come and get him yerself? You've got droids ain't ya?

voice:

[victorbychance]

Probably our lives, if we're lucky. Forget it. That's no reason to give someone up.

[voice]

[godbent]

[...So that was the- Wait that means-]

So it wasn't the Rogue ones, huh?

[Let's see if they answer. And if anyone reacts]

[Voice]

[unseenspy]

Why am I not surprised?

[While he's not particularly fond of Catherine, he doesn't see any reason to comply with this either.]

You punish us on a daily basis as it is, so there's no reason to turn him in.

[Nothing] Open to House 11

[Considering that Selphie was one of the people who got taken out by one of those bloody droids. Her blood runs cold at the threat of retaliation if they don't surrender Sir Catherine to the Organization and she's far too busy glaring daggers at the typed post to even form a coherent thought.

Instead, she's going to throw her journal against the wall and stalk out of her room for the kitchen to grab something to eat. The sooner she can get something into her mouth, the sooner she can start to calm herself down. The damn droid could've killed her and Adell and they think that they can just leave an aggressive message demanding the man's surrender?

Hyne be damned, if Selphie had access to a cache of Ultima, she'd be casting it at every single Malnosso she could get her paws on.]

Guess we'll see if they figure out they need to sweeten the deal.

[Because, hey. She'll hunt whoever this is down if the price is right.

And in her mind? So will anyone else. Maybe not for the same price. But? Far as she's concerned? Everyone has a price.]

You really don't get it? If this guy's someone they want, he's someone who might help us beat them.

[Come and get him.]

voice:

[shenevermisses]

He might.

Or, you know, he might stab anyone in the back in return for their "help."

Or be a worse Gamemaker than any of them.

I'd like to see just how much they want to find him. And how much they want our help. He might be a good bargaining chip.

[Anything to win. Anything to survive.]

[Voice]

[mountain_sage]

This bodes ill...

What were his crimes?

[And since Catherine has been helpful to them, can his actions really be seen as crimes?]

voice:

[victorbychance]

They can level this town any time they want and get him in the process. You wouldn't play these games with the Capitol back home would you?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...Brought to justice.

[The Organization's idea of justice was always interesting to hear about.]

voice:

[shenevermisses]

Then why don't they? Why don't they raze the town and take him? They have some reason for not doing it. For just threatening it.

We have something they want. We can bargain.

And y'know what? A stranger's life? Doesn't mean anything to me. If they offer me a good enough deal? I will hunt him down and drag him to them.

[ voice ]

[allseeingdeath]

[ A pause, then a huff of annoyance. Like she trusted them. ]

Whatever.

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

Why don't you start by telling us exactly what he's charged with? And the kind of force you used to detain him last time sure as hell wasn't mere law enforcement. And they sure didn't frigging care about collateral damage.

So what I'm sayin' is... unless you want to talk to us and actually communicate without throwing orders around like a bunch of assholes?

Go suck a Cockatrice.

[want_take_have]

Not even a month before the first manhunt. ...Feels like home.

voice:

[victorbychance]

They won't do it because they want to control us. If you cooperate with them, they'll control you. Just like the Capitol controlled you, and every other Career. You only thought you were making your own choices, just like now.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

What d'you think they mean by that?

[This is so obviously not a real question.]

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

They always have their ways with words. It's hard to tell.

[Obviously not a real answer, from his dry tone.]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

I'm getting kinda tired of "justice" coming from crazy dictators.

voice:

[shenevermisses]

You do what you need to, Lover Boy, I'll do what I need to.

Tell you one thing, though-- Not looking to die again. Once was enough for me.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

And threats as well. Consequences for the entire enclosure, it sounds like.
