[catenarypyre]

-- catenaryPyre [CP] has opened the memo "GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE NOW." --

CP: ☥he good news ☥hus far is ☥ha☥ we've begun ☥he game as scheduled and Bea☥ix is safe.
CP: However, ☥he res☥ of us being safe is deba☥able a☥ bes☥ and I need all of you ☥o look ou☥side righ☥ now and check on ☥he sky.
CP: I☥ seems ☥here's more ☥o ☥his game ☥han any of us could have possibly an☥icipa☥ed. As we speak, ☥here are me☥eors raining down on our plane☥.
CP: When we s☥ar☥ed, we se☥ off a coun☥down and ☥he lower i☥ go☥ ☥he closer a me☥eor go☥ ☥o Bea☥ix's hive.
CP: As we speak, ☥he fields around my own hive have already been se☥ in flames from a me☥eor s☥rike a few miles ou☥.
CP: None of us are safe from ☥his even if we s☥op now, our only hope is ☥o con☥inue on and ge☥ each o☥her inside ☥he game as soon as possible.
CP: Yes. "Inside" is wha☥ I jus☥ ☥yped.
CP: Bea☥ix's hive is no longer where i☥ s☥ood. I☥ was ☥ranspor☥ed ☥o ano☥her loca☥ion ☥hanks ☥o a game cons☥ruc☥, and ☥herefore saved her from ☥he impending impac☥.
CP: Everyone should be ge☥☥ing your asses in gear and be readying ☥o s☥ar☥ downloading ☥he clien☥ and server files.
CP: I've made a chain lis☥ of server ☥o clien☥ players ☥o keep ☥his easier on everyone and as of righ☥ now I don'☥ wan☥ ☥o hear a single god damned complain☥ from any of you abou☥ ☥he way i☥'s se☥ up.
CP: We don'☥ have ☥ime ☥o be picky righ☥ now, ☥his is life or dea☥h for all of us and we have ☥o ge☥ ☥he fuck ou☥ of here before i☥'s ☥oo la☥e.
CP: If you don'☥ have ☥he ☥rollian handle of your server/clien☥, ge☥ i☥. I☥'s no☥ ☥ha☥ hard, we were all dragged in☥o ☥his ☥oge☥her. If you can'☥ find ou☥, ask Adelle.
CP: Here's how i☥'s going ☥o go, Server --> Clien☥, no complain☥s:
CP: Kanabo --> Myself, Papyaa --> Kanabo, Ciphoz --> Papyaa, Averil --> Ciphoz, Li☥hos --> Averil, Prome☥ --> Li☥hos, Sciaph --> Prome☥, Lyn --> Sciaph, Adelle --> Lyn, Menkar --> Adelle and finally Bea☥ix --> Menkar
CP: Ge☥ in con☥ac☥ wi☥h each o☥her, ge☥ a move on.

§Has the fire spread very much?§
§Is Impaladad well?§
§My copy has almost finished loading, I will aid you shortly.§
§Please s§
§Please stay safe, Cero.§

Your hands are shaking.

Your everything is shaking, really, but you bury your face in your hands and glare at the loading bar through the gaps in your fingers, urging it to go faster. It seems to slow, just to spite you.

[catenarypyre]

When she mentions Impaladad, you take a quick look around from what you can see atop your hive. You don't see him, but you assume he's inside somewhere.

I'm sure he's fine. The fire ☥akes up almos☥ ☥he en☥ire field and is ge☥☥ing close ☥o ☥he edge, bu☥ I keep ☥he ☥all grass away from my hive so i☥ should s☥ar☥ ☥o spread slower once i☥ s☥ar☥s creeping along ☥he ground.
I can keep ☥he smaller flames a☥ bay for now.
I'll be fine, I have fai☥h in you and I know wha☥ we have ☥o do.
I've already ☥old Papyaa ☥o be on s☥andby for once I'm in ☥o help you.
Are you alrigh☥ up ☥here?

[quintessentialtenure]

§I'm fine.§
§I mean.§
§It's...there's a fire up here too.§
§But the stream goes through my hive, so.§
§I'm safe, if a little stuffy.§
§Cougarmom is with me.§
§She keeps trying to groom me though.§
§I think she thinks I'm scared.§
§But I'm totally fine.§
§And the download should finish any second now.§






§...I'll be better when you're safe with Beat.§

[catenarypyre]

Don'☥ be scared, i☥'s going ☥o be okay.
I promise, we'll all ge☥ ☥hrough ☥his bullshi☥ in one piece.

[quintessentialtenure]

§I'm not scared, Cero.§
§I am somewhat apprehensive.§

[catenarypyre]

I'd say don'☥ be aprehensive ☥oo, bu☥ I'm no☥ one ☥o ☥alk.
I keep forge☥☥ing myself around ☥he highbloods, and I know i☥'s going ☥o ge☥ me in ☥rouble la☥er bu☥ hones☥ly I can'☥ be assed.
I☥'s going ☥o be alrigh☥.
No one is going ☥o die on my wa☥ch and so long as everyone follows ☥he plan in a ☥imely manner i☥'ll work ou☥.
If I could ge☥ Bea☥ in☥o ☥he game safely, everyone else should manage well enough.

[quintessentialtenure]

§You're certain she is safe?§
§Also, and this I feel is a sticking point:§
§Do not claim undue responsibility for what is happening, Ceroti Ansata.§

[catenarypyre]

For ☥he momen☥ she is, yes.
This game was no☥ my idea and I had my doub☥s abou☥ playing i☥ in ☥he firs☥ place.
However, our en☥ry in☥o i☥ is my plan and ☥herefore my responsibili☥y ☥o make sure i☥ goes ☥hrough wi☥hou☥ a flaw.

[quintessentialtenure]

§Cero, I say this with all due affection, but§
§How many times have you told me that no plan survives contact with a force of enmity?§
