This is the greatest planning of All Time

[theearth]

SO HOW ABOUT THAT KIDNAPPING, EARTHICANS. IT SURE IS A THING.



Spoilers: Albero is telling the truth. If the Numbered do nothing, Robyn will be released without any further incident this evening. The reincarnates will then be given a short grace period of two weeks to get out of Locke, during which no attacks will take place. Any reincarnates who publically make it look as if they are leaving the city will be left alone during this period.

Unfortunately, people who - for example - involve themselves in a risky rescue attempt will not be granted this temporary amnesty. Not only will they find that the resident damsel in distress is guarded by more than just your typical mafia thugs, but the future ramifications of their actions will be severe.

There are subthreads below for planning the rescue attempt (if any characters will go ahead with it), trying to stop the rescue attempt, and for notifying us if your character will pretend to/leave the city! Feel free to also start your own threads for other purposes. 8|b

Anthony'd try to go along anyway, even if only for the sake of anyone else who'd still be going - even more rather than less on being told of the Vermaxi, as aye, knowledge is some superficial amount of power! - unless Nick would try to physically prevent him or unless it was guaranteed that Robyn would be released anyway, in which case he'd probably throw in his lot with those attempting the rescue; anything would be a preferable alternative to standing down from trying to assist at all.

Somehow Nick suspected as much. >: Anthony why do you have to be so noble and brave. He wouldn't physically stop him, and he definitely wouldn't be opposed to Anthony warning anyone who is going of what might be in store for them - as long as Anthony doesn't tell them that he got the information from Nick!

He can't 100% guarantee that Robyn will be released anyway, but he can probably 98% guarantee it, and he'll definitely say that a rescue attempt is more likely to get her killed than stopping a rescue attempt. And.... promise to explain how he knows all this after she's safe.

'Tis the House of the Incorrigible, alas - and he'd tell not a soul the source and gotcha, on all counts~
