[Locked to Luceti Residents]

My dear people of Luceti --

An invasion, all under the guise of a fantasy. What’s been done will not be forgotten. Certainly not by you, and not by the denizens of a dozen other enclosures who suffered similar attacks at the same time. As we speak, programmers and engineers hard at work combing through the barrier’s nuts and bolts. If the Cultists and his Lordship exploited some natural weakness in the dome, they will find it. Patch it up. Curious, isn’t it, that the Count chose yours to invade with his own two feet?

But there are other matters to discuss. I spoke with some of you only a few months ago. Let me announce more completely what I, back then, only intimated. I’m Carol, and I intend to spend some time in our little town. If you like, you can consider my resolve to continue my work here a sign of good faith. I remain unarmed and -- I assure you -- wholly peaceable. In this way, I hope I may have faith in you as well. After all, we are kin in a strange kind of way.

It is my duty -- as well as my pleasure -- to be Luceti’s liaison with the Organization. You must have many questions, concerns, and many many curses. Bring them to me, and we’ll see what can be done. We can talk here. But if any of you find the journals distasteful, you can also come have a seat with me at the sweet little tea shop. I’ll be there for the afternoon.

[As usual, this voiced post has a neatly typed 'written' section as well.

A thread with CJ can be found here.]

"...I was -- I was absent. But I'm familiar enough with the situation. What did you want to know?"

"You were lucky." Or informed. He hasn't taken that off the possibilities. "The majority of residents here received false memories. An entirely new set of circumstances for their life." That won't be anything she doesn't know. "Why were there some who didn't?"

"...Some would say the Count's strength is not as all-encompassing as he would have us believe. Me? I take it fro the same reason why even natural Shifts don't affect everyone. Or a flu skips a person or two while infecting the many."

I see. As grim as some of those choices may be, it certainly sounds like a fortunate convenience at your part. A liaison wouldn't have been particularly effective in that instance, regardless. [His light smile fades as he goes on.]

However... The greater Malnosso forces could have been. That leads me to a larger question. How was this invasion able to not only infiltrate this barrier, but hold power over us for over a whole week without any outside Malnosso intervention?

...Perhaps you aren't familiar with the man they call the Count? I'm afraid he was uniquely positioned to plan an attack such as this, having once been a very prominent figure in the Organization.

As I can't actually walk to the tea house at the moment...I'll just sat it here.[There's a faint snort, and an undeniable heat in her voice. Being laid up as she is, it's rather frustrating.] Let me just say that I won't be forgetting this incident. I hope for all our sakes that he is not allowed a repeat performance.

"A mere fluke, then. That certainly makes sense." He's not sure, really, if that's more or less comforting than there being any reason to it all.

Pepper closed her eyes for a moment, letting that question sink in. The difficulty of it came with all the potential consequences; it's not the first such conversation she'd had, but this time she was speaking to the representative of an organization that could so easily toy with all of their minds, send droids to drag away whomever they saw fit for fighting or experimentations--even potentially twist things so that those here might never realize she existed at all.

"I might very much mind, depending on what happens if my presence is deemed unsafe."

You're referring to the man who was Lord Mayor of that delusional dream-land? [Zompano. The man who killed Jade. Or would have, were it not for his fake daughter's tears.] I've read what little the Guide has on him. However, him being associated with the Third Party would be news to me.

"Of course."

He pauses a moment and nods his head. "Thank you for all your patience. It's good of you to answer my questions. If I can repay the favour at a later date and be of help to you and your organization, I would be happy to do it."

So. The ones who attacked us. They weren't with the Malnosso.

[Well. That's good. That means that the people she killed won't hurt the impression she's trying to make on the Malnosso. Hopefully.]

One would only hope. But it does leave me wondering how he managed it in the first place. And why it took so long for you to respond. [Since you claim to "care" so much.]

It is far from a fair excuse, but the fact remains that four other closures were similarly attacked in the same seven-day period. There were so many fires to put out.

Good. [Because she didn't want to have to give up now. Either because of damage she'd done or because the Malnosso were just looking to destroy them, in the end.] I only killed the ones who attacked me, but... I was hoping they weren't with you all.

"I'm certain to call on you again, sir. Likewise -- should there be any other concerns? Do bring them to me. I can't always promise that I can provide, but I will always listen."

And the one with the seeming mastermind was just set aside for last? If you'd acted quicker, perhaps you could've caught him before I killed him.

Your conscience may rest easy. Who are you, miss, who is so eager to fight for our cause?

[personal profile] ablankpage 2013-08-18 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, actually.

"I'm aware our things are brought. Sometimes quite sporadically. Is this under the control of the Malnosso at all? There are a few things I could use, certainly. They aren't necessary, but I would rather like them. Is there a way to encourage their appearance?"

[It's rather difficult to stop to talk to the unexpected guest in the middle of an influx of activity brought on by the presence of the unexpected guest. But Albert does glance at Carol as she meets with other residents.

And, of course, serve tea.]

[Ever patient:] Perhaps. Certainly, I'll add some note to that affect in my preliminary report.

I suggest that your corporation keeps better track of its former employees. Am I to assume that it's because of his involvement that the Malnosso were unable to send us any cavalry within an entire week or has that half of question officially been dodged?
