I know the murderer is dead, everyone, but this isn't the time to celebrate. A bunch of people just disappeared - for good, I think - and we need to get things back in order. I don't ... really like being the one who has to say this, but

Leave the Forge to me, kid. I'll get to work on that.

[quietestheart]

You've done it before, miss Eve?

[vaultpaladin]

I've seen it done. Tom showed me once or twice, and I've helped Moira and Megaton with their problems. I can handle it.

[quietestheart]

Alright. Well, that's one worry taken care of - thank you, miss Eve!

What happens to people when they disappear in this place?

[text]

[quietestheart]

They go back home, usually. At least that's normally what happens; that's what Zelda said happened when she came back after disappearing.

I don't know about Tom, though, since he died and just ... didn't come back...

[voice]

[hiddenpower]

... Maybe he was brought back to life, but was sent home instead of here. [ Optimism GO! ]

If you want, I can take a morning shift. I'm usually already up before the sun comes up, so it wouldn't be an issue.

[quietestheart]

Maybe. I hope so. Claire was telling me he was a good man, even if he had his issues.

[Somehow, Rion manages to sum up "having another personality that murders people" into "issues".]

And that'd be great. We can use all the help we can get, just in case something else like this happens... or the Crimson King sends people again.

[happenagain]

I can help. Perhaps not in the Force itself, but I would not mind taking up a security shift at night around the Lux.

[quietestheart]

Why not within the force, miss... um.

[A pause, as Rion realizes he doesn't know her name.]

[happenagain]

Please, just call me Eleanor. I've never been on any sort of...regulation force before. And I've seen ones before.

[quietestheart]

Alright, miss Eleanor. It's your decision, but thank you for helping out. :)

[raptureblues]

I'll mind the rooms at the Lux, and I'm sure Delta can help keep us safe after dark. We can do food in the kitchen there, if whoever's doing the hunting'll bring it?

I can do some mending, as you need, keep the fireplace going. And I suppose it's been a long time since I've grown anything...but if that gentleman running the garden needs any extra hand, I'll try and squeeze in the time.

[quietestheart]

I don't know how often hunting has been going on, but... it might be good to get more people doing that. I can help with that, though I don't really ... like to, my Pokemon aren't used to killing things.

And you could ask Marluxia if he needs help. I know Alfred and Alexia are gone now, too, so he'd probably like it...

[raptureblues]

What about something like a chiller? We don't have much means of keeping food fresh, huh? Maybe we can tinker around with a cellar...Icing-over powers, and the like. Delta and Eleanor run plasmids that can do that, I know.

I'll talk to the man, then.

[quietestheart]

Oh, like a --

[Too bad she can't see his eyes going wide.]

... a freezer. We have people who know ice magic here!

[phoenix_core]

I doubt we'll need two people on the lookout for the third shift now- I'll take the skies in the first shift if we need it.

[quietestheart]

[There's a delayed pause between when Rion reads, and when he starts replying; on the one hand, he really is not fond of Harry, but on the other hand, this really is not the time to be a big dumb baby about it.]

Alright. That'd help, since there's already a lookout on 3rd.

Thanks, Harry.

[phoenix_core]

[Yeah, it took Harry a while to convince himself it'd be a good idea, too. As long as Harry is in the air the majority of the time, it shouldn't really be an issue.]

Yeah... No problem.
