[Closed Network] A Series of Direct Messages to Characters

[butterfly_kiss]

[OOC: This is basically the equivalent of sending to character inboxes, including security level, and may move to in person conversations. The point is to unify it all so people can see what Tae is doing. If you want her to reach out lmk Here. Each character she's reaching out to has a thread below.]

Comments

[butterfly_kiss]

"You're the first I'm asking. If I can't get their agreement, I want to make sure I have at least one really fast person to handle it."

And he was also the first one to respond, so there's that.

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth nods. "You definitely have my agreement to help."

[butterfly_kiss]

Well, that's something. Tae breathes a sigh of relief.

"That's good. We have to find a way to talk quietly. Privately. I think one of the boys has the Communications datapoint."

Which meant they couldn't fully trust the supplies at hand.

[3wingedangel]

"We can continue speaking here. Or we could go to the roof of the hotel, but that may or may not look suspicious if anyone sees."

He's often on the roof, but he doesn't often have company.

[butterfly_kiss]

Yes, it would be suspicious since Tae was known not to wander much.

"I stay here most commonly. So it works best. I don't think Wesker would let anyone spy on us here either. He's very secretive."

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth is pretty sure Wesker doesn't like him, but if he likes Tae, hopefully that will work out.

"Very well. Let's continue to plan here. Perhaps try contacting the others again."

[butterfly_kiss]

Tae nods and smiles.

"I'll set up a room further in the hospital for us to work in. And I'll ask the... dog to let you all through without issue."

The thing was just weird at times. But just protective.

[3wingedangel]

"Good," he nods. He has seen many strange creatures back home, so the animal doesn't disturb him much.

"Do you think Wesker will allow this plan to go through?" he has to ask. "He was very ... insistent before on not going against standard rules of law enforcement."

To say the least. And while Sephiroth is sure he could fight Wesker off, he would rather not have that additional obstacle right now.

[butterfly_kiss]

"These children have attempted to kill multiple residents here, including in one of the cruelest ways known to man," Tae said, voice firm. "If he has an issue with it, he can come through me."

And she's certain she will stop him with her will alone.

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth smirks. "Then very well. Let us proceed."

[butterfly_kiss]

Tae nods and stretches.

"Alright. Here..."

She moves to pull a piece of paper from her pocket and a pen. Soon she's scribbling a small map of the hospital and marking a room.

"I'll set this place up to communicate, either in person or by leaving physical notes. Is that alright?"

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth nods. "I will come by frequently to check for notes, and perhaps to leave some."

[butterfly_kiss]

Tae nods and smiles.

"Thank you. For everything you are offering."

[3wingedangel]

"Thank you for taking the initiative to do something to end this," Sephiroth says.

[butterfly_kiss]

Hardly her initiative.

"Thank the brothers. They are the ones trying. I just came to the metaphorical party late."

And she thinks then of her old guinea pig. He would do this too, wouldn't he? Tae hopes so.

[3wingedangel]

"Heh." A smirk. "Well, regardless, your assistance is appreciated now."

[butterfly_kiss]

And if that's all she can give them for now, she's going to be satisfied with it.

"It's the best I can do for now," she says with a nod. "Thank you."

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth nods. "If we can get everyone together soon, perhaps we can bring this to a close in the next several days. Meanwhile, I will keep looking for the boy who isn't around."

And the others who vanished.

[butterfly_kiss]

Tae nods in relief. That's a good thing to hear.

"I'll leave a message here once it's time to gather everyone in a meeting to do the final work."

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth nods. "I will leave one prior to that if I discover anything relevant to the case."

[butterfly_kiss]

Tae nods and takes a breath.

"I need to get lunch. Shall we end our discussion now?"

[3wingedangel]

Sephiroth nods. "I will let you get back to what you need to do now."

He moves to the door.

[butterfly_kiss]

Tae nods and waves him off, but not before turning off her white noise program.

"Good day."

[3wingedangel]

"Good day," he echoes with a nod as he leaves.
