[Locked to Luceti residents]

[The following message is typed, but an automated computerized voice option is available as well. It will appear on the journal system at around 6AM.]

Approximately three hours ago, the experimental enclosure known as Kin’cora, located in Region Six, was attacked by a cultist army led by the entity known as The General. His forces breached the barrier and began their invasion. Malnosso Security Forces responded in turn and decimated his forces. Just under half of the enclosure's population was killed or taken for sacrifice before the situation was resolved.

By order of the Commandant, the enclosure designated as Luceti has been approved as a temporary refuge for displaced subjects of the Kin’cora experiment. In approximately six hours, subjects will begin to arrive. They will remain there until such a time as they can be moved to more permanent accommodations. Note, the Kin’cora journal system will be deactivated while within the Luceti enclosure.

Cultist activity continues to be high in Region Six. Expect additional supplies to be limited until situation is resolved. Emergency rations will be routed to the enclosure as they become available. Subjects are urged to use current provisions wisely and to cooperate with displaced refugees. For safety purposes the Shift limiting superhuman abilities will be reduced to ten percent. No further details will be made available at this time.

End message.

Speaking of stuff like that. If there's a problem with how some of us start to handle stuff...d'you want us to do something about it?

[trueknight]

... Yeah. If you see any of ours handling things too roughly, stop them if you can and let me know who it was. Things are already gonna be tense - last thing I need is our members making it worse.

[corrinesbell]

If they don't see it coming I can probably take most of us down pretty quick. Temporarily. [She has no illusions about how fragile she herself is if they get the drop on her.] Hopefully everybody behaves.

[trueknight]

Hopefully so. I really don't want to start handing out punishments or yelling at anyone because some people didn't feel like controlling themselves.

[corrinesbell]

People're eggbears when they're hungry.

[Shrug. Not much you can do.]

[trueknight]

True, but if they act too much like an Eggbear, then I'll have to treat them like one.

[corrinesbell]

...What d'you do with eggbears in your world?

[trueknight]

[... smirk.]

We make them into panacea bottles.

[Okay, sure, just their claws, but he doesn't care. He knows he'll be stressed out soon, might as well enjoy himself while he has the time for it.]

[corrinesbell]

...Remind me never to ask for one of those from you.

[trueknight]

Ahh, c'mon ... It'd just go to waste that way.

[corrinesbell]

No way I'm drinking some eggbear potion.

[Did she believe him? Or is she teasing just as much as he is?]

[trueknight]

You make it sound like it turns people into eggbears or something.

[corrinesbell]

Maybe it does! Weird other-world panacea bottles could do anything.

[trueknight]

I've used them plenty of times, and nothing's happened to me. [ ... ] ... Yet.

[corrinesbell]

You sure about that? How do I know you're not an eggbear in disguise? Ignoring the part where I'd be able to see through any disguise of yours.

[trueknight]

[shrug]

Well, I have woken up in weird places with no memory of how I got there, but that could be unrelated. Guess you better hope I'm not lying!

[corrinesbell]

So you're saying you've been, what, so drunk you forgot where you were in the morning or something?

[Sheena folds her arms. Come on, Yuri, don't give up this bickerfight.]

[trueknight]

Who knows? Maybe I was, or maybe I just can't remember things when I'm an eggbear. Could be anything.

[Nope, he's hanging on by any thread he can find at this point.]

[corrinesbell]

If they kidnap you someday and send you back here as an eggbear I won't even be sorry to knock you over.

[trueknight]

Not even a little sorry?

[corrinesbell]

Well, okay, maybe a little sorry.

[This thing where you joke enough to get back around to being serious again? Sucks.]

[trueknight]

Heh, well I guess that's better than nothing.

[Even so, Yuri's trying to keep it at least a little light-hearted. He's gonna have enough serious stuff to deal with in the coming days, after all, so he might as well relax while he has the time.]
