text; un: lanxichen | dated: day of, before the start of the gala

[calmness]

Greetings.

I know many of us searching for information that would help us succeed in this mission and some have already uncovered details and items that could be of use.

In an effort to consolidate and keep all the information gathered in one place, would others be amenable to share what you've already uncovered here? This way, more of us are able to be intentional in our hunt for more information about the Orb and situation here. Additionally, further discussions can be facilitated during the course of the Gala this evening.

I have information to share that I will add in as a follow up to my own message, for clearer organization. But first, I would also like to share that both my brother, Wangji, and I are able to create silencing paper talismans for those who may need them. These can be used to block all sound within a space from getting out or silencing an individual. It will be easier for one of us to share with other members of the Featherstone, but exchanges with members of other Families can be arranged at the Gala tonight or worked out afterwards for those interested.

[ooc note: please threadjack away, respond around to info that seems useful and share info all around!]

[ Finn wasn't really the one to see the calendar but- ]

I think it mentioned something about Ursa and a birthday, if that helps at all.

I trust her to keep it secret on any other occasion, right up until it benefits her to out us. Like if she suspects us of theft.

[spacedisaster]

[ That works still! ]

Ursa? That's new. It doesn't ring a bell but it's a start. We can investigate and subtly ask around about this person, see if we can find anything else.

Let's hope she doesn't notice and, just in case, watch our backs.

I didn't know you two were friend. But Jim's a nice guy and so are you, so I guess that birds of a feather do flock together.

[hatejakku]

That's sweet. He might be nicer than me, for the record. I might have kind of attacked him when we first met.

But the mission. Right. I hadn't heard the name Ursa before. Thought it was one of the family heads at first.

[spacedisaster]

Yeah. You attacked him???? That's hard to imagine. What happened? [ Tell him everything, he likes gossip. ]

Not that I'm aware. Maybe they're someone important, just not part of the big 3.

[hatejakku]

It was back when we first arrived on the station. Lights were off, unfamiliar territory. I just left a war, so I assumed everyone was a hostile. To make a long story short, he came around the wrong corner. Or I hid behind the wrong one, something like that. Anyway, I figured it out after I knocked his head into a steel beam. Not my best moment.

[spacedisaster]

Ouch. The first days at the station were crazy, uh. Good to hear you fixed your differences later.

Sorry to hear about the war, I know what these sorts of things are like too, and it's no wonder you reacted the way you did.

[hatejakku]

It didn't take long. He let me take a look at the wound and everything. Still feel bad about it.

I've learned to look around corners a little harder so its not a problem

[ probably ]

[spacedisaster]

Ey, these things happen. you already know how my current team tried to kidnap me and kill me when we first met, and we ended in jail. It will be like that sometimes.

Haha, yeah that's good.

[hatejakku]

I'm pretty sure meeting friends like this isn't normal though.





that being said, I met my best friend when she slammed a metal rod into my face

[ He's becoming self aware. ]

[spacedisaster]

Are you THAT sure?

[ Peter's laughing at those last texts. Ilu, Finn. ]

Look around us, and how we all met. Kidnapped by aliens? Robots? A fancy A.I.? Who knows for sure. And now we're roleplaying the Godfather.

[hatejakku]

I don't know what the Godfather is but I don't doubt you

[ anymore ]

[spacedisaster]

It's the best mafia movie ever made, inspired by a novel of the same name. Only overshadowed by....the Godfather II.

If we don't die in the mission, we should watch a movie together one day.

[ Wow, thanks. ]

[hatejakku]

I'd like that.

And we're not going to die here so it's likely.

[spacedisaster]

Then it's settled.

Good. I had enough of that shit already. Take care, Finn, don't get into trouble at your wizard mafia school.

[ Famous last words. ]
