un: Oracle, video

[The video opens up on Adaine, stood in front of a board with a map on it. The map is of Trench, but it's old and worn and brown. Still, she has helpfully marked the part of interest with a red X, over a temple in the Trenchwood.]

I think it's been a rough couple of months for us. We've had local assholes stabbing the ocean, we've had the ocean being really mad about that and blaming all of Trench for it because she's kind of an asshole too, there were a lot of murders, houses burned down, uh, been tossed into alternate universes where everything sucks - [She's maybe regretting her choices to bring that all up.] Anyway. One positive thing is that we've established a lot of good things in the last six months or so too. The Sanctuary, the Outpost, now the Academy.

I - and a few others - have a similar venture in mind. An archive where we can research and compile information about Trench, so that even if people disappear into the ocean it's not, you know, lost forever. To start with however...

[She points at the map, tapping on the location in question and bringing the Omni closer.]

A while ago - back in April - there was an expedition into a temple called 'The Temple of the Forgotten Mother'. We didn't get far, barely cleared out the entrance before we had to leave. But I've done a bit of research and there's a giant labyrinth of dungeons beneath it, and beyond that, it was the domain of a cult older than Trench as we know it that worshipped Mother Superior. [And, because she's a dramatic bitch, she smirks for emphasis.] Which brings me to the point.

We're going to put the archives - our archives - The Sleeper's Archives, right on the top level of her system of dungeons. [Objectively an insane idea BUT, consider... it would also be cool as hell.]

So basically, all I need is people who are interested in helping with research, clearing the top level of monsters and traps and treasures and warding away any influence from the lower levels. We'll be going deeper, but it'll take some time, so for now I'm only asking for help with the top level. We need excavators, people who are good at bringing others back from corruption, fighters, architects, investigators, seers, healers... If you think you can help, just let me know and we'll figure something out.

[The voice that comes through in answer to Adaine's question is husky with tiredness, but otherwise calm and thoughtful.]

I think that's not an entirely fair assessment of the sea.

[Said as anyone offering a gentle correction to a slightly unfair assessment of a relative might say it, as opposed to someone speaking of an entity that unleashed a storm full of Beasts as collective punishment on a city.]

But that's a matter of opinion.

I'd be interested in helping with research, I know how to fight and deal with traps, and they may not like to see me around the Pale Sanctuary, but I haven't forgotten how to minister to Corruption.

Paul Atreides. It's a pleasure.

Careful, the ocean might think you're complimenting her.

[He says it with a slight, crooked grin. One that doesn't go away and has a bit of a wild edge to it, because that idea sounds like the craziest and stupidest thing he's heard-]

Sounds crazy and probably illegal. I'm in.

You people. Always with your little projects.

[Here's Maul to be contrary as ever.]

If you need someone to help remove corruption from people, I suppose I might be able to help. So long as no one actually in an especially foolish manner like waiting until they're about to go into full-blown Beasthood before they're ready to get rid of their corruption.

[Sailor Moon despises Mother Mercy. So she happily responds in her senshi form:]

It would be my absolute pleasure to assist with this endeavor. I am able to heal, purify, and fight.

[Get fucked, Mother Superior.]

I am down to help you guys clear shit out but, uh... [ she sucks some air through her teeth ] I'm curious: why the fuck are you putting it there? That doesn't seem like a great place for a bunch of archives.

Hehe, that just makes the ocean more interesting, don't you think?

[ he gravitates towards people and things others consider assholes, so this tracks. ]

I just got here, so I'm not sure what a lot of that means, but I'm willing to help out where I'm useful! Until I start figuring out what's what around here, I s'pose the best thing I know how to do is fight.

I'm glad to be had. I have plenty of time on hand, especially for something as important as this.

She has a shrine?

And we're not razing it to the ground? We're putting archives on it?

You were a pirate?!

[ sorry stranger, he's going to take your word for it. ]

Ah, well, even if the ocean weren't kind of a god, it's sorta like that anyway..? I guess ordinarily the ocean doesn't hold a grudge, but if my ship and my cargo end up sunk to the bottom, it's all the same to me.

[ at least it wouldn't be random bad luck?? ]

Swords and guns, mostly. Been trained in things like spears too, but I haven't run across those as much.

I can fight.

Count me in on anything that involves sticking it to Mother Superior.

I'm probably best suited to take care of clearing the place out and scouting. But let me know how I can.

Exactly~

[A fingergun and a wink. Yes, he's a little crazy. Just a little.]

What, you don't remember me from our match in the tournament??

A pirate city?

[ ryouma leans super close to the camera because he forgets that he shouldn't do that. ]

That sure sounds like a place I'd have loved to see!

[ he just about lost his mind seeing what's down at the docks, so if this sounds like a childish wonderment, she's not wrong.

but this is supposed to be about other business, right? he settles down a bit. ]


We've got all sorts of stories where I'm from, but it was never the kinda thing you could really prove. Guess I've got a lot to learn about how things work 'round here.

This Mother Superior's some especially bad news, I take it?
