9/4; after Bailey's chat with Diarmuid/after the attacks start but before Cu's post

[rupturingheaven]

heading to the captain's, Diarmuid asked me to watch over him

[connecteur]

Please, be careful.

[rupturingheaven]

will do. I'll call if I need backup

stay safe

[connecteur]

I think home's as safe a place as I can be. If you need me, though, I'll be there.

[rupturingheaven]

probably for the best, yeah
I'll let you know

[consonanter]

Please be careful, Bailey. If you need anything, I'll do what I can to help.

[rupturingheaven]

I will. I'll let you know if something comes up, but stay safe, Noah

[vanescere]

Please be careful! And keep us updated if you can? I'll try and do the same.

[rupturingheaven]

I will
Diarmuid said he'll come help if I need it too, so at least there's that

About an hour or two after the attacks on the 4th, when Faye is no longer out around the city

[vanescere]

What we heard, it was definitely at least some gunfire... according to one of the people who helped him, the Black Order attacked Leon. He lived and is going to be okay, but...

[... but maybe she shouldn't worry them just yet saying she wants to make sure they can't hurt anyone else after this.]

I'm with Blade, Dan Heng and Jing Yuan for now and I'm safe.

[rupturingheaven]

damn it
glad Leon's going to be okay, let me know if he ends up needing anything that I can help with

I'm glad you're safe, though

[vanescere]

I will, promise. Everyone thinks he'll be okay, and there are people who can heal him... so I'm trying to trust them.

It's definitely thanks to the three of them that I'm not still out there, but I promise nothing was happening while I was out there.

[rupturingheaven]

then I'm sure he'll be fine ... I hope he makes a swift recovery

[Hm. She's going to need to see about getting something for those three as thanks for this.]

good on both counts
things have been quiet on this end, thankfully

[vanescere]

Me too...

I'm glad it's been quiet there, even if things seem like they're... weird now...

[rupturingheaven]

not going to lie, I feel a little like that gif of the guy walking in with pizza to the room on fire

like we're only just kind of seeing the weird become visible

[vanescere]

I kind of have the same feeling.

It's honestly exactly like you said. A sort of feeling like something's emerging from the fog and it isn't as safe as we thought it might be, before.

[rupturingheaven]

yeah...

[...]

We'll get through this, no matter what comes our way.

[connecteur]

That's good. That you're safe, and he's alive.

But if they're just attacking people like this...

[Who's to say any of them are truly safe?]

[vanescere]

Who knows if we'll all really stay safe for long...? I was told they've taken people before who have nothing to do with them.

[connecteur]

Yeah... It's hard to imagine it won't just keep escalating from here.

[vanescere]

I think that I might be more surprised if it didn't keep escalating.

[consonanter]

I can't even imagine.

[His heart squeezes at the thought, pain and terror far too familiar to him, the reminder of Robin's letter when he was Sunday. What Gopher Wood revealed to him, that his sister would not tell him.]

If there's anything you need, Faye, please let us know. I can't promise I can help, but I'll definitely try.

[vanescere]

I will, I promise. Right now, I think just being able to talk with you all here helps.

Maybe a hug next time I see you?

[Hugs are good! A group hug honestly sounds pretty good right about now too, really.]

mid-month, after the fortress raid

[consonanter]

Does anyone know how to fix a microwave?

[Hello hi, this sure is a question Out Of The Blue(TM). Noah.......]

[vanescere]

[... what]

Not off the top of my head but there might be a video somewhere? What happened?

[consonanter]

Well...

[And this is where the group gets a lovely image of a shorted microwave, with very burnt food sitting beside it.]

I somehow electrocuted my own microwave?

[vanescere]

Oh... um I don't think that can be fixed, you might just need a new microwave.

[Messing with microwaves is dangerous anyway...]

Did this happen when you touched it maybe? Because if so, um... maybe it was magic?

[consonanter]

That's what I was afraid of. I just don't want people asking questions as to how it happened.

Yes, it was when I actually had tried to open the door. [A beat.] And possibly- though I have to admit, my family's magic comes from a light spirit's blessing. I'm not exactly sure how electricity fits in regards to that.

[vanescere]

I'd be happy to help you dispose of it properly? Then go with you to get a new one?

Sometimes magic can work in strange ways. If it's light, then maybe lightning is the connection, rather than specifically electricity? My magic is mostly related to fire though, so I can't be completely sure.
