[Oh boy, what a night that was. Nida hadn't been able to sleep after the Earthquake started.]

I'm going to warn everyone about last night. That quake? It was magic. I could feel it, like I felt before the Aspects disappeared, before the Demon Bear. Something's coming.

Please, be careful. Don't be alone. Stay off the streets at night.

[His voice is shaking with a bit of fear. But last night had been bad. Real bad.]

[whereishe]

I felt it too.

Do you think this is the same as the bear? That something is about to happen?

[skyward_eyes]

I don't know if it's exactly the same, but it's probably bad news. Magic can be pretty dangerous when loose, and I expect you get that.

[whereishe]

I do.

[She pauses thoughtfully.]

We should prepare. You are with the guard, I am sure you have you're own preparations too. Maybe we could find out where the magic is sourced. It may be the same as the bear, that is, something coming through the portal.

[skyward_eyes]

Trust me, I intend to tell the Captain in the morning. If he allows me, I can take a walk with you to search it out.

I hope it's not the bear again

[whereishe]

Good.

Perhaps we can follow the magic? I can feel something but it's hard to say what.

[skyward_eyes]

I guess we go for triangulation.

[whereishe]

Yes. I believe the two of us we should be able to find something.

Perhaps we ask another magic user to come with. I'd offer Caelan but that isn't his strong suit... Ignis perhaps?

What do you think?

[skyward_eyes]

[Nida smiles. He knows the three of them can work together.]

If you want to bribe my boyfriend to chaperone, you're welcome to.

[whereishe]

I don't think it'll take much of a bribe if we're going to be getting into trouble.

I think Ignis would want to be there.

[soulsword]

I wonder what they broke this time. Or what they will bring in.

Re: voice

[skyward_eyes]

They want to send people home? They were trying last time I think.

[soulsword]

Yes, but it seems they failed and broke things instead.

[skyward_eyes]

'Wise' higher powers seem to do that a lot.

[soulsword]

So very true. One almost would wish that they would just stop messing with things they clearly do not understand fully.

[skyward_eyes]

They do it because... well, who knows why. I just know that it could hurt us.

[soulsword]

I imagine they do it in a misguided attempt to fix things. It more than likely will hurt us. At least we are prepared for the worst.

[skyward_eyes]

They want to send us home, I understand. I don't much care for it.

At least we can get armed easily enough.

[prodigalvampire]

Did you practice being that ominous or does it just come naturally?

[skyward_eyes]

Practice. Spies fill a lot of roles. But really, as someone who fought the damn bear, I'm a bit scared by this.

[prodigalvampire]

So, in your world, spies don't give reports, they give ominous, foreboding warnings? That seems like a waste of energy.

...whatever comes out of that bridge, we'll be ready for it.

[By expecting anything and everything and being in no way prepared for it.]

[skyward_eyes]

No, they give reports to. But sometimes spies, posing as other things, give ominous, foreboding statements to get targets on edge. Only when the energy is well placed.

[Nida is less certain than Thomas is on that factor.]

I think we'll try and be prepared.

[prodigalvampire]

So, which targets are you trying to put on edge, exactly? show we be worried about enemies living among us?

[skyward_eyes]

No, I'm just with the guard. But old habits and all of that.

[prodigalvampire]

So you used to be a spy. Do spies usually go around advertising that?

[skyward_eyes]

Reformed ones whose employing mercenary organization has no affiliation with this world? Yes.
