Gemini Text | UN: generous_rarity; 30 minutes before the raid

[noblerise]

[Approximately half an hour before the raid is set to begin on their homes, Jusis gets a vision. All he sees is a hail of gunfire and explosions, along with a very familiar symbol. The dots connect rapidly and he immediately informs Elliot before sending out a mass text to certain people (Husk, Leon, Ardyn, and Blade) while his husband grabs everything of value. Things can be replaced, but people can't and he has no desire to get innocent civilians involved.]

I've just received a vision of danger. Be prepared for an attack from The Order and proceed as if it's imminent. Rendezvous at the Crystal Tower before dawn, but be extremely cautious. Use the Gemini app only.

Understood. Stay safe.

[He needs to get his dog out of here. Then pull the fire alarm to get everyone in his building out.

Shouldn't take too long.]

Phone call > voicemail | During the attacks on the 4th

[vanescere]

[Voicemail -- it wasn't a good sign. She didn't call Leon directly all that often, but he never ignored her calls when she did. This was bad!]

Dammit-- Leon! Please call me or message me back.

[Faye honestly sounds faintly panicked, the sound of fireworks -- and absolutely not fireworks -- in the background making it clear she's outside.]

Please, please just let me know that you're okay out there. Everything sounds wrong and some of those aren't fireworks. I -- just please be okay.

[Then as she's lowering her phone away, she's cursing under her breath before the voicemail ends.]

[sg09r]

[The phone rings once. Twice.

Cuts off as a mek stomps on it, without Leon knowing it.]

Deputy, darling~

It's been far too long, hasn't it? I'm heartbroken to see you haven't called me in some time.

Word has it you've taken up a spot in Kaisou recently. And have been taking care of a few problems with it as well.

[Yes, Deputy. That's his name for forever now, bc you're forever a cop to her. GOOD LUCK GETTING HER TO DROP IT.]

[sg09r]

I literally just got out of the hospital, Cereza. And some metallic bastards broke my phone, so it wasn’t like I could call.

Word’s right. Where’d you hear the part about us taking care of problems?

[umbranwatch]

Somehow, that truly does seem like your luck. At least it made your month interesting~

[CEREZA…]

Oh, there’s plenty of buzz about a certain team being sent a few zealots, and said zealots not returning. Several of us might have decided to take a vacation in Kaisou to see what the buzz is all about

[sg09r]

I'd be happier if the month wasn't this interesting. Someone I've been trying to keep safe ended up in the line of fire and I couldn't help her.

[And he's going to beat himself up about this for...god, a while.]

Wait, you're serious? How many of you are coming here?

And why?

[umbranwatch]

[Ah, he reminds her a bit of Luka when he was defeated and ready to quit. So this part may not be expected-]

When it comes to the Order, I’m not surprised.

Leon, dear, you cannot blame yourself for something like that- the organization thrives on grabbing everyone they can to assert control and order. All you can do is protect her to the best of your ability.

[She would know. She joined to protect Jeanne- but even Cereza knows eventually her time will run out, and her love will be forced into joining as well.]

Well now, let’s see- there’s myself and the two others I’m riding with, there’s a whole team coming up from Florida as well. I’m not quite sure of the entire headcount, but expect several of us to visit within the coming week or so.

[sg09r]

They haven't tried to recruit her yet but I'm terrified they will grab her, now that she's gotten involved in this. She interns for a pirate ship and she's supposed to be far away from the Order's radar—but my place got shot up and she decided not to let that stand. And now

[And now Faye might well attract even more danger.]

I just don't want her or anyone else to get hurt by them.

I'm trying. I don't know if that's enough.

The Florida team's coming up? Okay, we're in a lot of trouble, then.

[umbranwatch]

I did say I was going to visit, didn't I? The reason being that all of us are rather tired with the Order's ways- so a bit of a rebellion is in order.

And what better way to make sure this person stays safe than to fix how the entire system works for good? That way, there's no need to fret or worry for her sake.

[sg09r]

You know what? We're gonna need all the help we can get. It's us against the entire Black Order, so the odds aren't fantastic.

[Still. It's funny—he has some faith in these people, now.]

She's my sister. I'm always going to worry about her. But you're right that fixing things will at least take out one threat to her well-being.

a package; 7/30

[unreachableside]

[By the power of flying pomsky, Leon gets a delivery. It's a sturdy wooden box wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap and then wrapped one more time.

Inside the box is a gleaming dagger of Damascus steel made for combat.]

[sg09r]

[…Leon’s got a feeling he has an idea who this might be. He’ll thank him in person when they meet up again.

For now, he slides the knife into a holster.]
