OOC: Oops... It didn't quite occur to me that Alex's group wasn't in the Embassy. >< Excuse me while I re-rewrite my last post. And... uh... is anyone using Tibarn/does he have a predefined location? If so, tell me and I'll axe this post accordingly. Also... new character alert! Check the Characters topic in the Library for information.

*Sanaki's Group*
Sephiran: ...Is this a dead end?
Sanaki: Should we go back and look through the other paths?
Naesala: ...Wait! Do you hear that? There's someone speaking behind the wall!
Unknown: This is ridiculous! How did they get to me?
Naesala: ...Hawk King?
Tibarn: Well, if it isn't Naesala! What are you up to this time?
Naesala: Oh, nothing... just saving your hide.
Tibarn: Sure, sure... I doubt it! ...Are there others with you?
Naesala: Only Sephiran, the Empress, and General Zelgius.
Sanaki: Hawk King... how did you get behind that wall?
Tibarn: Somewhere, there's a switch that gets rid of the wall... I'll have you know that there's a door behind the wall, too. Good luck finding the keys.
Naesala:
What ridiculous and convoluted steps are going to solve this puzzle?Zelgius: ...There are soldiers approaching from behind...
Sephiran: ...Looks like we're about to find out.
Guard: Away from the prisoner!

*Elincia's group*
Lucia: They've backed us into a dead end!
Geoffery: We have the upper hand... they are almost done for. Keep fighting.

*Sasha's group*
Sasha: ...Do you hear something?
Darrah: It sounds like a boy's voice... coming from that door!
Unknown: ...Is anybody out there?
Eiva: Yes, there is!
Unknown: Please get me out of here! When that earth-shattering explosion rang out, there was a wave of darkness... and next thing I knew, I was being led down a corridor by soldiers... I managed to break away from them for a bit, so instead of being jailed, I got locked in a broom closet.
Darrah: A broom closet, huh? No problem! Step away from the door! *she kicks the door down*
Unknown: ...Uh... Thanks! My name is Quince. Nice to meet you.
Sasha: Hello, Quince. I am Sasha. The girl who kicked down the door is Darrah, and the other one is Eiva. And the man behind me... is Falcon. ...Who was with you when you were captured?
Quince: Let's see... to name a few... a girl with silver hair and golden eyes... two boys that were about my age... a strong, bearded man... a guy in green with no fashion sense- uh, I mean-
Sasha: The Dawn Brigade! Do you know where they were led to?
Quince: ...I'd guess that they were led to the prison area downstairs...
Sasha: Well... it looks like we'll have to make a detour. I hope everyone's alright with that...
Quince: Wait! Can I come with you? I'm... not too strong, but I'll try not to be a liability. I can also use healing magic... well, only a little. And besides... I'm a little worried about that silver-haired girl. I think her name was... Micaiah? I don't think she could take a hit very well. And she helped me out when I had no idea what was going on... so I think I owe her a favor.
Sasha: Alright. Let's keep moving. ...They didn't attach any strange devices to you, did they?
Quince: ...Uh... no?
Sasha: Good. They attach devices to prisoners that activate mind-control on them when they are a certain distance away from the prison area...
Quince: (...Sasha, was it? Why does she feel... familiar? Maybe I'm just going crazy. After all, I -did- suddenly wake up here one day... how did I get here? I could have sworn I lived in Tensakuto till I got here... I doubt that was a dream.)
Sasha: (There's something odd with Quince. He feels like... a Halfblood, only weaker. He might be a few generations down the line... who is he, exactly?)
