<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "You see, part of the reason that I lack training is because, when I was very young, Calabria invaded my country. I was forced to flee, and they looted most of the estate and city... including the beacon and key required to complete the Sealing. Well, not strictly required, to be honest, but without the other records they are the best way to do so. They still possess the key, and I would like to retrieve it without causing bloodshed or an international incident."
<X-Union-Chatter> Yukio Okumura says, "O-oh."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "I've got some things that might help."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "...Oh goddess, it /is/ almost four in the morning. Why. It's not fair. ...."
<X-Union-Chatter> Yukio Okumura says, "I... I think that would be an acceptable...reacquisition."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "Oh dear. That sounds terribly dangerous."
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "That sounds like an excellent reason for theft."
<X-Union-Chatter> Luc says, "Sometimes it is necessary to defy the law in order to achieve greater ends. There is no shame in this. But there is also no shame in having no stomach for such things. In any case, I am ill-suited to this task. As for that, Mr. Weissmann, one suspects that the laws of existence bend to inconvenience you personally."
<X-Union-Chatter> George wails, "It's not fair! Make them stop inconveniencing me!"
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham laughs!
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "I can, at least, promise no international incident."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "... Huh, Master Luc, I ... am so not used to hearing you speak up on this frequency. Hello. And goodnight, soon. Morning. ... ..It's still dark out, 'night' will do."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham laughs again.
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "I am glad that some see the need for this."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "Thank you, sir."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "I've no doubt anyone will agree to the necessity, Miss Fairchild!"
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "...Wait that came out wrong."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "Unfortunately, this sorta thing is sadly common back in Zemuria."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "I understood, Father Weissman."
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "I will do my best to assist however I can."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "...Okay good."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "Thank you, Dame Gale."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "We 'ave managed t' get th' nations t' agree on an international law that forbids th' use o' Artifacts. ...sometimes, someone likes t' come along an' think that they're above th' law."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "I'm just terrible at these kinds of things. Give me a book, or .. a puzzle or ... something to heal, I can do that though!"
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "Ah, well, by ancient treaty the Binders are supposed to be above political boundaries. Few pay attention to those treaties these days."
<X-Union-Chatter> Luc says, "I have no personal opinion of your particular mission, miss, so do not take my speaking up as a ringing endorsement of whatever it is that you are doing. I have simply engaged in two large-scale military coups as a general, and understand that things are by necessity not always clean. And no, I do not speak up often, Mr. Weissmann, because I do not often have something to say."
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "It allows me to use one of my favourite spells, Travel Without Distance."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "I-it's true, I guess, but it is nice to hear you, it's been a while."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "A friend of yours, Father?"
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "Not precisely! He's a friend of a friend, but I like to think we have an agreeable accord at least."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "To those offering help, I am appreciative. I do need to find out exactly where they are holding it first, though. With any luck, that will be soon, as by my estimates time is growing short."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "Well, Sir Luc, it is a pleasure to meet you."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "I should sleep though, morning prayer comes earlier every day it seems. ... Though before I go, does anyone know where these balloons came from? They're /awesome/."
<X-Union-Chatter> Luc makes a small noise of acknowledgement. It is hard to tell whether or not he agrees that it is a pleasure to meet with anyone.
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "..."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "No? Huh. Okay, must have been local."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "And Father Weissman?"
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "Yes?"
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "Miss Fairchild?"
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "The ritual we discussed is, as I said, incomplete. The theory is sound, though."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "I think someone had 'em sent t' ya at yer request, George."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "I have every intention of living through this, however."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "It's best to go with the complete versions, Miss Fairchild. It would be a pity to have to go our separate ways so soon, don't you think? --- Huh! Well, mystery presents are the best kind, so that's okay."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "--what?"
<X-Union-Chatter> Yukio Okumura distractedly, "Balloons...? I sent those, I thought."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "That's what I thought I heard."
<X-Union-Chatter> Yukio Okumura says, "A bunch of mylar balloons."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "Ah! Thank you then~ The sparkly ones are really fantastic in the sunlight."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "...."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "..Though.. if.. if you leave them out in the sun too long they pop."
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "Miss Fairchild?"
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "Yes, Lady Gale?"
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "Have you ever suffered from teleportation sickness?"
<X-Union-Chatter> Yukio Okumura says, "Do you have memory issues, Father Weissman...?"
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "Constantly! Why?"
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "--I dunno what kind o' teleportation ya use, Gale... but I've never encountered any form o' sickness after experiencin' it."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "No, but I have never been teleport. None of the Blooded I have met had that ability, and I know no sorcerers who can reliably use that spell."
<X-Union-Chatter> Yukio Okumura says, "Huh. Curiosity."
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "Not everyone feels it, Father Graham. It's similar to any other kind of motion sickness."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "---George? Do ya even remember healin' us last night?"
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "I doubt it."
<X-Union-Chatter> George cheerfully, "Some of it!"
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "Good. Because Travel Without Distance has been known to induce Teleportation Sickness at times."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham sighs.
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "I do not often fight, but my style of battle involves swift movement in all diractions."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "It's okay though, I have balloons and koolaid. ... I /had/ koolaid."
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "Excellent. My style of battle rarely has me moving at speeds below one hundred miles per hour."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham ehs. "It's nothin' t' worry 'bout anyway. I think I'm gonna get some rest 'ere in a bit."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "I have no idea how fast I move."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "My Blood abilities are not particularly strong."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "I really should, I have my pajamas on and everything. It's just a matter of having enough willpower to press the 'off' button."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "At least, not in that manner. I am a powerful Binder, but most with the Divine can do considerably more with it."
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "I am Exalted and a powerful sorceress. Adamant Circle."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "I have heard the term. I believe Unflinching Servitor is one."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "Miss Breeze is too. She makes things."
<X-Union-Chatter> Whoosh! The Salty Gale says, "I run fast, make clones, that kind of stuff."
<X-Union-Chatter> George nnnnnn. "Off button. I can do it."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "Good night, Father Weissman. I will speak to you tomorrow."
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "Yeah. I'm gonna finish my studyin', then get some rest as well."
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "Good night, Father Graham."
<X-Union-Chatter> George says, "Goodnight, Miss Fairchild! And everyone else. Okay!"
<X-Union-Chatter> Father Kevin Graham says, "Good night, Elliana~"
<X-Union-Chatter> George transmits a faint murmur, the words indistinct, and then ... silence. ..Mostly silence, seems he failed to hit the 'off' button when he did whatever he did.
<X-Union-Chatter> Elliana Fairchild says, "My Blood abilities let me run very fast, and give me some amount of strength and durability beyond most humans. Nothing compared to some of the Elites I have seen here, but enough to keep the regular soldiers away."
