For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. If they have headphones from the music room they can make it so they work like earpieces.

[ There comes a message, but not through the usual SCA channel: there's a beeping from the map, and pressing the button that's appeared ('CALL') will bring up the familiar voice of the masculine-coded man back in the Ministry base. ]

Hey, Zagreus told us what you lot are trying to do out there. Escalated quick, but you've got those Gods, so, not surprising. [ They sound relaxed despite the urgency some others may be feeling. ]

Alright. If any of your people need to get out of there, you can come to the temple or go to your voidcraft. This isn't us telling you what to do, but we know you've got no one above you looking out, so this is just for the folk who need a hand.

Speaking of, come and grab some more equalisers. You're gonna want to put some up, but they have a cool-down after a while. But if we work and close those distortions poppin' up more, you'll stop some of the flow of what's coming out. If you're thinkin' of just leaving them open 'cause a few stragglers is better than the distorted time, ain't a good idea unless you've got some plan for what happens next.

--Oh yeah. If you know how to use a gun, a blaster, whatever you people know, we've got a few for dealin' with time displaced people. Y'know, for the zombies. Er, whatever's respectful for you people. Shit, nevermind...
[ There's a grumbling, but it's hard to make out. ]

Anyway, know you'd rather be praying for yourselves, but if any of you wanna help in a small way, praying for Eilifi, Silifi, and Merios will do some good. Even just talking at them or however prayers work. Mine are never good. But it's gonna get shitty for 'em before this gets any better.

Alright, this line'll be open for a while 'til I have to move out. Just talk at the map - I'll hear. You need me at any time, you can hit the call button on the map since I'll be on the field.

Do you have anything that can start a fire? A very fast, very hot one?
luckydragonsfoot: (nyh-)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2022-01-20 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I got Red Eyes?

[Katsuya is...adjusting, suffice to say.

Red Eyes is also nosing him from the shadow, clucking their tongue as if to remind him of something.
]

OH! Right. And uh. ...I guess...I can also? Be Red-Eyes?

Guess your friend there's got you covered?

[ You know. If you two want to discuss fires. ]
fivemilesdeep: (But if we try this)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2022-01-20 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess?

[There's some question as to what Jonouchi is actually offering, but he shakes that off.]

But he's still only one person. The more we have prepared, the better.

So...do you have anything?
voidtreckernpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] voidtreckernpcs 2022-01-20 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What you even want this fire for? That'd help to know.

[ It's asked more curious than snippy. ]
fivemilesdeep: (But if we try this)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2022-01-20 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
To burn the bodies.

[...wait, that's gonna need some context, isn't it]

The revenants - the people in the distortions - aren't dying, and their wounds are regenerating. If we have enough power or enough fire to burn the bodies completely, that should take care of the problem - I don't think they'd be able to regenerate from ashes.

And...they're dead already, aren't they? The trapped people?
voidtreckernpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] voidtreckernpcs 2022-01-20 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Depends on what you call dead, or whatever helps you sleep at night.

[ Just, casual. Not a guy hanging around to talk out the definition. ]

But they can come back - ashes, I mean. Well, quicker in the distortions. Think ashes stops a God of Life when there's still a soul to go off? Kinda easier to burn when they turn into plants, but anyway- outside, you mean? We don't have anything like that, but you'll do better setting up an equaliser where your groups move. Keep one active, have one to swap over when that needs to recharge.

Makes them drop and means Merios can do the rest - long as the guy can keep it together.
fivemilesdeep: (But if we try this)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2022-01-20 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...they can come back from ashes.

...by the gods.

[It's disbelief, a moment stolen for an uttered oath. Maybe if Ryo's world had some concept of phoenixes, this wouldn't be so weird, but this? This is wrong.]

[He takes another moment for a deep sigh and refocuses.]


I mean inside the distortions, yes - outside has been a little less violent...until this morning. [Who has two thumbs and nearly got stabbed today? A whole lot of voidtreckers, that's who]

We'll get more equalizers, then, and whatever else you recommend. Thank you.

Life God. What you gonna do.

[ Pain in the asses. Enjoy plant people. ]

'Member those drones can help you map out where you should go in and stick the things to set off. Easier than just waltzing in from the same place.

Work out a plan from outside, then get in and execute it. In and out. Doesn't always go cleanly, but you do what you can.

You...what?

[They have literally never had this discussion. What's a Red Eyes, aside from, you know, red eyes?]
luckydragonsfoot: (nyh-)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2022-01-21 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Errr...'xactly what I said? Like. Big...black dragony stuff.

...I haven't really tried it out all th' way, it was uh. Th' thing from diagad or whatever we're callin' it.
fivemilesdeep: (Excuse me wtf r u doin)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2022-01-21 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[It takes until 'dragony stuff' for anything to click, and even then it's only because he remembers Seto introducing his dragon as Blue Eyes.]

You- have a dragon?

[Wait.]

You can be a dragon?
luckydragonsfoot: (say again-)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2022-01-22 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Firs' one's in my soul, second one jus' happens now I guess?

[Can one audibly shrug? He is audibly shrugging.]
fivemilesdeep: (Excuse me wtf r u doin)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2022-01-22 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
You have a dragon in your soul.

[He can accept that this is a thing, but also: what.]

...how much control do you have over your Diagad power, and... [There's really no other way to put this, is there.] How good are you in a fight?

[Can he help in the distortions without getting killed himself?]
luckydragonsfoot: (nyh-)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2022-01-22 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Decen', great, annnnnd uhhhh...

Bein' real I've never combined those two points but it should be fine righ'?
fivemilesdeep: (Are you sure you're okay?)

[personal profile] fivemilesdeep 2022-01-22 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a good answer, right up until it isn't. There's a deep sign from Ryo's end of the line.]

If you think you'll be okay, they could probably use your help in the war distortions. If not, please stick with the camps.

flatteries: (all the faults you've left behind)

[personal profile] flatteries 2022-01-20 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there something causing this?

[ Inigo asks it so impulsively that it takes him a moment before he realises that he should probably clarify what 'this' is. ]

The displaced people starting to act like this. Is it some natural side effect of this entire process? [ Because they can't go on like this. It's like fighting a war on two fronts. Impossible. At least if there's some cause, maybe they can take that out, so camp can be safe again. ]
voidtreckernpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] voidtreckernpcs 2022-01-20 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Natural as it gets when you want things to go out of control, [ the official answers easily. ] People risin' from the dead, not dropping to begin with, Kolokifi sending everyone mad. Distortions showing up outside of locked pockets, everything just losing it.

That was the war. Lotta messed up stuff happened back then.

[ A beat. ] You guys better decide if you want this to keep on going now or not, but I'd say it'd be better to let everything run its course now, but just hurry it up.

But keep yourselves safe. You need ideas from us, we'll give 'em.
flatteries: (i will hold on hope)

[personal profile] flatteries 2022-01-20 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nevermind ideas. Just the information Inigo is getting now is enough to make his head feel like it's spinning. ]

I can't imagine any of us want things to be out of control like this. [ Please. He is only barely holding it together right now, pal. ] I'm mostly concerned about the safety, or rather the lack thereof, in the camps. Those among us who are less capable at combat were helping out there, but it's no longer relatively safe there now either.

[ Inigo releases a breath he didn't quite realise he was holding. By Naga, he's so stressed. ]

I agree that hurrying up is the right answer, but do you have any ideas for that, other than just trying to go at it faster?
voidtreckernpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] voidtreckernpcs 2022-01-20 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, let's talk about the camps. [ Agreeable, no issue there. ] Figure how many folks you've got who can stay, then split the camps into what you can handle. Or stick to one big group and plan how you move out from there.

I don't know what you guys can do, so you need to talk this out with each other. Figure out what's gotta keep everyone safer.

Some of your folks are gonna attract trouble, but if you keep an equaliser, like I said with the other kid - an equaliser to protect the camp, then an equaliser to swap it with when it needs to charge. Make use of the scouting drones, they'll pick up signs of distortions.

[ They're not rushing as they speak, calm, slow and voice well-trained in giving instructions. They've done this before. ]

If you have any people who aren't safe, tell them to get back to the craft. Hit the SCA, it'll be quicker. You need to take any people from the distortions, stick an equaliser on the back of a cart so nothing happens on the way and send them to the base.

You got that?
flatteries: (you gotta pull it together)

[personal profile] flatteries 2022-01-21 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I do, but..

[ "I'm afraid we're a little unorganized here and most people won't even listen to me" doesn't sound like it's the smartest thing to say to someone from the ministry, huh. That's certainly not the sort of impression Inigo wants to give off about their group, even though he's pretty sure it's.. an accurate one..

And while Inigo certainly manages to sound relatively calm for the situation as well, there's so much stress right underneath the surface. ]


Things are already chaotic. [ That seems like the safer way to phrase it. ] I'll try to do what I can, but I don't know how many people I still can reach at this point.
voidtreckernpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] voidtreckernpcs 2022-01-22 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Where are you? You get separated from your group?
flatteries: (away from all the fears and)

[personal profile] flatteries 2022-01-23 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but-- it seems some people have left camp already.

[ Mostly going by the messages he's heard over the comms, though it has been hard to even follow those, especially with the initial chaos this morning. It's been hard to get an organized view of pretty much anything right now. ]

Because they believed they were attracting these attacks. I know for sure they didn't go back to the tr-- craft though. [ They're not the types, and their messages sure didn't sound like it either. ] It means there's a good deal of healers and fighters gone from camp.

[ So less people to help out with the mess. ]
voidtreckernpcs: (Default)

[personal profile] voidtreckernpcs 2022-01-24 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a sigh. ]

Alright, well - if they're listening, or get the word out to talk to people, there's no need to get separated. You still got supplies? Your own healing covered? I'll bring my team over to your camps and we'll help keep watch and make sure you're doing fine. No reason for anyone to be acting on their own.

[ ...well. ] Your gods might attract some attention now, but long as you watch each other's back and keep your camps stabilised, we can get this under control. Just not too manly godly acts around here, and be careful with anything to do with weather or nature.

Anyway, we're here if you need us.
