akito[ Akito has had enough of this. all these people getting hurt - and now killed - and there being no apparent organization whatsoever. he knows he isn't a leader - has never wanted to be one, either - but something needs to be done. if they all stay scattered like this then they'll just keep continuing to play into Malicant's hands and more people will get hurt. ]
The Palace is appears unguarded and unoccupied, and if no one has gone in to investigate it yet I'm sure they will soon. It should go without saying not to go in alone because even if it's no longer occupied that doesn't mean it isn't filled with traps. If you were Tainted with Mal-nyan's poison don't go without someone who was not Tainted. We still don't know enough about the Taint to be sure the symptoms won't recur after going dormant.
With Evandau murdered things will be chaotic for a while, and it doesn't look like an interim government has been implemented yet. The Kedanese were already suspicious enough after the cultist attacks - now with what Mal-nyan has said any trust they had in us will likely be non-existent. They're going to blame us.
If you don't know how to fight stay with someone who does. I suggest avoiding your workplaces for now as well. Avoid the streets until things calm down. If you have to travel, don't travel alone. Healers... It might be too dangerous to work at the hospital. If we could organize a temporary location to work out of and offer help that would be a better option in the current situation.
What happened is unacceptable. It's also no one's fault except Mal-nyan's, so anyone who is blaming themselves for what happened don't - it's a waste of energy that can put to better use. It's okay to be sad, and to mourn, but... Don't let yourself drown in it. I wasn't as familiar with the children who are gone, but I don't think they would want anyone to blame themselves for it.
The hatchlings that are still here... They need to see each other. They can communicate with each other from a distance, but I think they need the physical comfort of their siblings now more than ever. They need to commiserate with each other because they're affected in a way that we can't understand. There is only so much that we, their chosen families, can do for them.
If we gather them together - and I think we should - it's obviously going to be a risk. All of their chosen family should be present, including those of the ones we lost, as well as volunteers to help guard them. The sooner it can be done, the better. They are more important than us, and it's surprising Mal-nyan left them alone for so long.
Like I said before - there's only so much that we can do for them. And we can't always be here for them to rely on even if people didn't keep disappearing. So I think we need to train them in ways they can defend themselves. They are big; they need to know how to use it to their advantage. They're still children but that doesn't mean they're helpless, and they need to know that just as much as we need to keep them safe.
Those of us who don't know how to defend themselves also need to learn. You don't have to fight if you don't want to, but everyone should know how to defend their lives if the situation calls for it. I... I have experience training people in mixed martial arts and how to use knives and daggers. [ and however much he misses Sarah, he's glad she didn't see what happened. ] I can also teach how to use firearms if it's needed.
Anyone who wants to learn is free to contact me. If anyone else can offer any training services you can contact me as well and I can try to help organize something.
To the parents of the remaining hatchlings, please consider both a meeting for them all as well as defensive training. Ask the children their opinions on it - see what they would like to do. Get in touch with me ASAP with your decisions so I can try organizing a meeting right away.
On the whole, we need to be more organized. All of us have our own skills we can offer but we don't know how to use them effectively together yet. I think getting as many of us training together as a group is important, and I would consider it a high priority.
I have a few years of experience managing SWAT teams, so I'm not entirely clueless about things but I know I'm no good as a leader. Despite that, please don't just disregard what I'm saying! I- That is... With everything working against us now, it's even more important for all of us to work together. If we don't, we're doomed to fail. I want to do what I can to help.
Anyone who has any ideas, or can volunteer to help with anything, please contact me.
We're also going to need people who can sort out the riddle that Mal-nyan left us. Is there anyone who can volunteer to help dedicate time to that?
I need more information about the 'vilii'. I haven't been able to find any, and it is critically important that I do. Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the long message.
{added a short while later:}
If anyone would like to learn how to see the Taint Mal-nyan poisons people with, contact me and I will set up a lesson as soon as possible.
{and another one:}
Basic defensive training starts at 7:00am in the Wood district. If interested, wear loose clothes and make sure you're well hydrated. If you want to prepare in advance, stretch your body twice a day until then.
