Late Evening

[empereurs]

Good luck to everyone going in tonight, if this works.


[Squad 4]

We're on standby. Everyone try to get rest, in case we're called in. I hate

Also yes, I have a week of detention. No, I didn't get demoted from squad leader. Yes, I regret we did. No, we didn't see anything. Yes, I'm about to pull a "do what I say, not what I do": curfew is a strict 10 PM unless the teachers decide otherwise. Do not trespass on private property. Do not risk your lives needlessly. Thank you.

[Scout]

Good luck I already wrote that [...] Be careful. The mission is important, but we can't afford to lose you [...] or your squad either.

[Neal]

[...] Do you think this has anything to do with Halloween night?

Squad 4

[ballhoot]

shit n here i was shinin up my crown already

[...] any y'all wanna watch a movie or some shit while we hang round on standby

Squad 4

[empereurs]

The crown is actually because I'm Emperor, not because I'm leader.

I'd rather train [.....] Yeah. I'd be fine with that. Anyone have a recommendation?

Squad 4

[mentalmap]

What if it's just because you're lovely?

Something funny?
I get teary wh I hate stand-by.

Squad 4

[empereurs]

Then we'd all have crowns. So it can't be that.

Funny is a good idea. I only know depressing documentaries, so let's scroll through Netflix together.

Squad 4

[coalblooded]

[...] Okay.

Squad 4

[empereurs]

[...] Okay. [...] Coming for movie night?

Squad 4

[coalblooded]

Depends on the movie, I guess.

Squad 4

[empereurs]

Help us decide on a good one.

[Mason]
[.....] Are you mad at me?

[adamho]

[......] They'll be fine. But we'll have their backs anyway.

[...]

[Flint]

I can't believe they're leaving us on the fucking bench for this.

[empereurs]

We will. We're ready for anything.

[Adam]
[...] I know. I'm sure it can't be easy to choose who goes and who doesn't, but 10 and 12 are all underclassmen [.....] it's not easy to wait around.

Flint

[adamho]

It's bullshit. It's like they draw numbers out of a hat. We should both be going in. [...] Do you really think they can handle this?

Flint/Adam

[empereurs]

I [...] have to believe so. If it were up to me, I'd be sending in every single team after those kids, which is probably why it's good that it's not up to me.

Flint

[star_boy]

[...] I'll be fine, promise. Don't fuss too much over me us while we're gone.

[...]

I hope this doesn't become the norm.

Flint/Scout

[empereurs]

It's half of the school. Of course I'm going to fuss. [...] But I'll be fine. I'm staying out here, after all.

There has to be some way to stop the rifts from doing this again. Some [...] spell. The Velvet Room has to know something.

Flint/Scout

[star_boy]

I know. [...] And I know it's different this time, but in the end it's still the same. We're going in like we always do. And we'll be fine, like we always are. [...] And I know you will be too. I just worry

I feel like if they knew, they'd've already done it. [...] Maybe we just need to clear the cathedral out. Or find something there. [...] But I don't want to think they know how to stop this and they just won't.

Flint/Scout

[empereurs]

Yeah. I know. Focus on your squad, not me. I'll try to distract Adam, for you.

They wouldn't sit back if they knew something. Just... maybe they can find something now. I don't know. Because if there's nothing to do except clear the cathedral out, then this will happen again. You saw how many doors there are.

[opalescents]

I'm gonna use my spare time to make everyone RESCUER badges.

[empereurs]

Let me know if you need help. I could use something to do with my hands.

[opalescents]

Oooh boy you discovered my True Selfish Motive, but yeah of COURSE you can join it.

Aaare you doing ok?

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

It'll work don't worry
Lots of talented explorers and worker bees here
We'll get em back

[empereurs]

Right. I mean, we don't have any other options, do we?

[...] Good luck, Sully. It's [...] a lot, but I'm sure your squad is up to the task.

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

Honestly [...] if things are escalating I wish we could just close everything for good but that seems a bit beyond our scope right now

Thank you
My kiddos are gonna be great I believe in them

[highercalling]

Thank you, Flint.

[empereurs]

We'll be behind you. [...] Are you doing alright?

[highercalling]

Of course. [...] Waiting can be so difficult, but without a strong, ready rescue force standing by the ground here, [...] well, I hate to sound so dramatic, but everything could be lost. I feel much better, seeing the squads that have my back.
