[NPC] CONSOLE | OPEN

[ironrule]

[The Foreigners have been privy to Snake announcements over the consoles before. The difference here is that those announcements have always been made by Meisheng, and have always been broadcast to the entire populace of Keeliai - kedan included. This particular announcement is also a public broadcast, but it's directed towards the Foreigners.

And when the announcement starts, viewers will be treated to Tu Yunxu himself, looking very grave.]

Good afternoon. One of my patrols found Jintou by the edge of Water Sector last night, just inside the city walls. He's alive.

[Always start with the good news, especially during a show of good faith. With any luck, not every Foreigner will believe Yunxu had anything to do with this.]

I must warn you, however - he is not himself. There is very little I or the hospital can do. Should anyone wish to take custody of him, please see Meisheng at her usual post in Central Sector.

[And the feed cuts off.]

[OOC: Characters are free to respond to this network post directly, although there's no guarantee Yunxu will indulge anyone for very long. Alternatively, action threads can be played out here as well if your character chooses to go to Meisheng about this. Please contact me either through Amaraq or by PMing this account if you have any questions!]

[ As usual, Milyn either ignores the change in tone or carries on obliviously. ]

Happens to the best of us, dear. Even Healers aren't immune to everything.

If you need an extra hand with Jintou, do let me know.

[For a moment, it doesn't seem like he's going to respond. Then he thinks better of it and turns briefly back to the camera.]

I will.

[And then he's gone.]
