95.3 - rock is cool but the struggle is better (backdated to Monday)

[Monday evening at 10 PM finds anyone with their journal open contemplating how a sixteen-year-old kid could like a guy whose voice sounds like he smoked every day of his life - yep, "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen is drifting out of the pages, and soon enough, Harry's piping up over the music, gradually phasing it out]Well, well, well!

If we're finally doing something, that's a step in the right direction. What's going on? [He was very out of the loop for that last meeting, the first he attended.]

It sounds a little fishy - who wrote that, anyway? And where would there have been a caravan? [World beyond? Nope, Alan's clueless.]

Details are still gettin' ironed out, but some people are tryin' to put a trial system together. Jurors are gettin' picked at random off the CastleNet list.

Some guy named Zexion - he lives out beyond the Dead Zone and keeps tabs on all the First Gens. Occasionally, he lets us know what's goin' on.

[Likewise.]

[is0latedthinker]

That will be good. As that entry said, getting people to face the consequences of their actions.

So this kidnapper's a First Gen? Do we have any information about the person who was taken?

[hard_talker]

From what I've read, he's more like ... well, he was a First Gen but he moved back here for a while, and then he left again.

So I'm not sure if the Patrol's gonna want to do something about it or not. He might still count as a resident, m'not sure.

Thoughts? That they don't give a shit about us, so I'm not concerned about what happens to them unless they make the first move. They don't want our help.

[hard_talker]

Fair 'nuff.

... Hey, while I've got you "on the line", so to speak, can I ask you a favor?

[encryptedlock]

That changes, I'll be happy to change my position.

Sure.

[hard_talker]

Would'ja mind helping Sakura and I generate a list of five random names for jury duty? I know you're the go-to guy for the CastleNet roster ... and it seemed like the easiest way to get the ball rolling.

Keep our ears and eyes open, figure out who it is and why they didn't want them back here, why they wanted back. If Roy's out there and liberating people, kidnapping them, we probably want to know why.

Not that finding out is easy, and not that we should take what Zexion said at face value and nothing else.

/to end

[hard_talker]

Nobody ever got a name for the kidnapped person, huh?

[haruno]

Not that I caught, but I admit, I didn't get a chance to write Zexion at the time. I'll leave a note, see if he catches it and chooses to respond. He may not know, but we might get something -- and idea of a description, any detail more than "someone."

Did you hear anything? See anything? My nose is so far in these law papers and getting reports laid out properly I think I'm dreaming in other people's words.

[hard_talker]

Yeah, you've been pretty busy lately. ... I've been tryin' to keep an eye out, but I haven't, either. I can ask the Doc if he's seen anything, too. And Lois. They usually keep on top of stuff.

[aka Five is trying to get a name via backtag as we thread... pfff]

Sisyphus was sentenced to that because he thought he was better than the gods, though. Is that part of your allegory?

[hard_talker]

[amused snort] Well, we're sure as fuck better than this castle.

[hellshaped]

[wow kid, language!!] Maybe that's why it's such a pain in the ass. Because we say things like that.

[hard_talker]

[dude, where've you been the last nine months? he always talks like that] Well, where's the proof that we're not?

[loyalised]

Hmph. Thank you for the introduction. [If Kain had enemies in this place he would have been extremely irate.]

[hard_talker]

I'd say you're welcome, but I'm pickin' up on a little sarcasm, there, buddy.
