[Console: Video] [Subject: Moving the Turtle Part II]

[purered]

I regret to inform you all that it seems Miss Lazuli has returned to her world.

For those who were her friends, I am deeply sorry.

[There's a moment where he shifts, eyes flicking downwards, but he's back to his usual attentive self in a moment.]

This may make things with the upcoming move tricky - while I'm informed that the tidal surge will be more than enough to dislodge Tu Vishan, Miss Lazuli was one of our primary movers.

I would ask then for anyone who has control of the elements of wind or water to lend your aid in keeping the turtle as steady as possible. I would also ask for help in ensuring buildings are structurally secure. We suffered some minor issues during the primary move, and while I don't foresee disaster, it is better to be safe than sorry.

When the time comes for landfall, any aid in anchoring would also be much appreciated.

Comments

[purered]

For many reasons. I hope she is safe wherever she is.

[There's a small, brief nod.]

It would be much appreciated. I'll be setting out as well once I'm sure everything is in hand in Keeliai.

[redlightgreenlight]

We should send parties of at least two, after all, we have no idea what might be waiting for us.

[purered]

Agreed. Sending people alone into a potentially hostile situation could prove very dangerous.

[redlightgreenlight]

We'll need more scouts then. Perhaps a few aerials, like Pepper and Tony, would be useful, they can see more from the sky than they could from the ground. I myself can use other senses to scout the land, but having reports from above could be very helpful.

[purered]

I quite agree. This is the reason I asked for diplomats as well - if the lands are inhabited, we'd likely be viewed with suspicion at best. Reducing any potential hostility until we can wake Tu Vishan and move on would be very handy.

[redlightgreenlight]

Of course.

[A pause.]

I can do a passable job at that, but Anton, Cain, or perhaps Raine, might be better. Although you did a marvelous job with the Chihuelans.

[purered]

"Marvelous" isn't the word I'd use, but I appreciate the sentiment.

[He still feels guilty about losing the Kedan that tech]

Diplomat or no, anyone venturing on land will need to go with at least one other - if only because the danger of the soul gems being far from Tu Vishan presents. Your strength will more than certainly be needed.

[redlightgreenlight]

I hadn't thought of the affect of distance on our souls. We shall have to pay extra attention to how we feel.

[The mention of her strength draws a small frown]

I suppose.

[purered]

Ah - I'm sorry. Are you alright, Ms Valdis?

[redlightgreenlight]

Strength isn't everything, Klaus, but even so, I hope it will not be needed.

[purered]

Strength takes many shapes and forms, Miss Valdis. I wasn't speaking of your physical strength.

[redlightgreenlight]

What strength were you speaking of then?

[purered]

Your many other qualities. You are quick to see lies and injustice. And you do not lose sight of the bigger picture.

[redlightgreenlight]

[She definitely wasn't expecting that kind of answer, but she appreciated it.]

Thank you, Klaus. I hope I live up to your words.
