there are a variety of reasons he has resisted making this announcement, chiefly among them that he is as fiercely protective of viveca's privacy as he is his own — however, he is keenly aware that such desire does not follow a pragmatic path. viveca must have known that sending them to this world would make her history impossible to conceal. his own tendency to withhold information from others needs to be set aside if they have any hope of bettering this — her — world.

he has spoken on the matter to a few people, those he trusts more than not — but his conversation with sam has resulted in the realization that if viveca is... upset at others learning the truth of her nature, she may as well be so with him. at least he can control the narrative, and stave off attempts at ferreting out further information about her.

thus, his delivery is entirely without embellishment —


E-23b is Viveca's world of origin. Those of you who have spoken with her on the matter may recall her propensity to say that she built herself — it seems she was human, and as such had a hand in the design of her digital parameters. She is the daughter of the Mayor, Jacques Reman and his wife Alexandra — with whom I have spoken directly — and was the original leader of the Fables known by the animal moniker 'Fox'.

I will not speculate on the circumstances that resulted in her being as we know her, nor explain my certainty — do not ask.

Sam Wilson is currently speaking with the Hare, confirmed to be Callan de la Cruz, and he is the source of our learning of Viveca's identity as the Fox. Presently, he appears to be an ally, and Viveca seemed to trust him — it was the symbol of the revolution that she gave Sam that sparked their conversation. If anyone can think of any information that may be pertinent to our efforts and possibly known by the Hare, please direct your queries to Sam. He is in an unknown location, and his ability to return communication is limited due to the nature of his situation. I do not believe him to be in any amount of danger, however — I would suggest that you respect both his time and his discretion in this.


the message ends there, for a time. some moments later, he amends it:

Collectively, we owe Viveca a great debt. I cannot think of better repayment than helping her home in a way that she can be proud of.

So we could end up hunting these orb-things in our own worlds then? I mean, if this is Viveca's...

[ The thought trails off there. He knows Itachi's a practical guy, and his musings are probably just going to waste the guy's time. ]

I don't have anything to add, but I'll do my best to help.

That'd be...sort of tough. Mage stones store a lot of energy, might throw people off.

[ How that'd compare to orbs, he can't say. He just recalls distinctly how bad it was when he broke one.

Well, was a party to breaking one. ]


But yeah, nothing official, I think. I could give it a try.

Yeah, you guys are really uh. Competent.

[ There may be better words, but at least he didn't go with awesome. ]

She's the one in the hotel lobby, right?

[personal profile] pursuit 2022-06-24 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's easy then.

But uh. Is there anything in particular I should say, or not say?
pursuit: (mull)

[personal profile] pursuit 2022-06-25 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Um...

Telling her I wanna help out, and seeing what she says?


[ It's difficult for him to gauge how much or how little to divulge, but he knows it, and it's a start. ]
