TRAIN-CRASHING NEAR YOU

Heya, bonjour, think of Bastille! This post will serve as the main plotting and Q&A hub for our recent event and test drive meme (TDM).

Feel free to make a plotting comment, if you want — and to flag if you're playing a TDM participant or an existing character in the comment title, to help with precious, beautiful organisation.

For any general questions, you have the following main threads for:

Hmmm what sounds like a reasonable amount for a paranoid better dressed chinese batman to collect... 3-4? If they are adequately of interest he'll crowdsource the remaining letter-gathering.

[groundrules]

Let's go with the following four:

i. Signed by Hatisse (leading Mazyar to recognise, moving forward, what is written in her calligraphy, and what comes from Arha): apologies once more that she presumes to write him, when only accident drove them to cross paths in his native Sukhl, and she is as nothing, where he is a ruling clan leader.


2. From Arha to Hatisse: reassurance that he thinks of no woman more than she, that he will do anything for her, give up his life and his people. He knows she was only assigned to serve a season in the court of Sukhl, but will the school of Attaryl not spare her a few months further? He will pay three times her previous stipend, no, four. And a fee, whatever the Attaryl witches ask.


3. From Arha to Hatisse: is his beloved well? Arha has heard, as has the entire world, that the conflict between the witches of Attaryl and those of Bessis has deepened. Will the conclave of Taravast do nothing to stop the bloodshed? Is Hatisse sheltered, will she not return to him?


4. From Hatisse to Arha: begging forgiveness, she does can write only sparingly. The Bessis have taken over many of their routes, promising fire and burning to all of the Attaryl. Her sisters of Attaryl have gone into hiding. The conclave has forsaken them. She has no where to go, no one to turn to, only Arha, who cares for her. Though, in this dark hour, she wonders if even his words are true? For what are words without deeds.

Other folks will receive other letter pieces — so might be a good one to summarise/share/collect info for the full picture, o ho ho ho.


Or burn the letters...

Hi, hello, also. If you are interested, Allison might return with some information from the temple that could apply to the letters, if you want to bring them together for a chat?

[descendency]

Hello absolutely, as Five's bitterly divorced ex-wife Mingyu has heard all about you Allison! And by all I mean your name, and the fact that you're his sister. He is 100% on board for collaborating since he's figured out that you forge a tenuous mutually antagonistic partnership with one Hargreeve and you've forged a tenuous partnership with them all.

[rumorate]

Yes, that is exactly how Hargreeves work, good to know you're prepared.

Take that back, I was looking at the wrong journal. I can still slide Allison his way, just let me know if you'll have a top level or would rather an inbox thread.

[consignation]

Yes I have two idiots. I meant to do Mingyu's toplevel tonight but it got away from me. Tomorrow night for sure!!

[rumorate]

Excellent, then I will hit him up this weekend!

[groundrules]

So, Lily's got some excerpts too, now — down to however you guys want to handle your info sharing, though I suspect network might be easier if you're looking for broadcast. But just as a heads up that there are now two excerpt sets!
