There was a casualty to the bombing yesterday. A boy named Danny Fenton was mailed a bomb, and Cobra Commander has threatened to take us out for getting in his way. He doesn't know the Corps exists, but be on your guard regardless. Don't handle anything suspicious and avoid traveling alone at all costs until we can deal with him and whoever else he may be working with. Avoid mentioning us in public, as well. We'll need every advantage we can get for as long as we have it.
[Audio; Filtered to: Leon, Hope, Serah, and Ven.]
We should leave the city before something else can happen. Are you ready to get moving?
[Action for Violet City Inn, Room 221]
[Anyone who seeks Lightning out today will find her in her room at the Inn, flitting between a pad of paper on the desk and the bag she's packing. The paper is covered with notes that are easy to read and the bag is smartly packed, so it's a sharp contrast to Lightning who looks a bit...frazzled in comparison to her normal self. Someone seems just a bit out of her element for some reason.]

Date: 2012-04-22 12:46 pm (UTC)Those Rockets...they're escalating. First the Kimono Girls, and now one of us.
[He'd be hard pressed to disagree with that]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-22 12:49 pm (UTC)It's going to get worse before it gets any better. The man who put the bombs in the Game Corner threatened to hurt anyone who stands against him in ways we won't expect. He's probably got a list of targets that has more than one of us on it.
[Thunder spells would especially come in handy now, since Cobra's undoubtedly found her name from their conversation and may just be after her, too. Whoops?]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-22 12:52 pm (UTC)That...honestly wouldn't surprise me. Vanitas had different ways of knowing, but he understood exactly how to get to me. This guy's probably been watching some of us in his own ways.
...Actually, it makes me wonder...
[Oh Pinksis, always a trouble magnet. Don't cause Leon to get grey hairs now]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-22 12:55 pm (UTC)Wonder what?
[...She makes no promises. Better her and her alone than an entire squad or more, right?]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-22 01:06 pm (UTC)He wouldn't be doing his part then]
If maybe I oughta ask Vanitas about these kinds of things. It's stuff he would've tried back home, or he's done close to it - some of his Unversed would explode during battles.
He understands this stuff in a way I can't, I've never set out to hurt anybody.
[...No, her army of siblings would pile on her with their worries]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-22 01:10 pm (UTC)That's a good idea. We'll need all the help we can get if we're going to stop this guy before he hurts anyone else.
[Yes, well, worried sib-army or not she still thinks she's a better singular target than all 30-some PGC members at once.]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-22 01:15 pm (UTC)I'll be sure that I ask him then, he'd probably have more ideas than I do. If we can prevent that Cobra Commander from harming anybody so easily, we can keep more people safe and maybe discourage them.
...Although I'm not counting on that.
[One thing he's learned from Lightning is to not be so optimistic that there's no way he can possibly achieve what he's aiming for. It's not practical, as tough as that is to accept.
But he'll never take to the idea of Lightning taking on being targeted all on her own]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-22 01:21 pm (UTC)It may work, but it's probably just going to get him angrier than he already is. We'll have to be ready for anything.
[Discretion is the better part of valor, after all. No counting the chicobos before they hatch.
And no Ven throwing himself in the way of the proverbial arrow, either. She lived for months with a target on her back, she can do it again.]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-24 04:18 am (UTC)That could be what happens. But at least we might be better equipped to anticipate his moves.
[It's almost frustrating how uphill this all is, but something is better than nothing.
As long as Pinksis doesn't think she's going it alone]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-24 05:48 am (UTC)We should be, if we can keep everybody from running off to take him on alone.
[Because thirty some people coming at him one at a time may raise some serious flags and they don't need that. At all.
Oh, she knows she's supported and loved. Which is why she wants to keep her loved ones out of his sight, so she'll take the big target. It's a never ending cycle, really.]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-25 06:31 am (UTC)That'd be...bad. Gotta make sure everybody knows better than that.
[Indeed, they don't want to start looking like a problem themselves.
Oh Pinksis. So many pouting little siblings]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-25 07:36 am (UTC)Most of them do, but some...[A sigh, and she shakes her head a bit.] I barely managed to talk Saber into warning her squad before she lets Cobra come after her.
[And that could still devolve into a rather large issue on its own. They really don't need more trouble on top of it.
If they all dogpile her she won't know what hit her...or be able to get past them. At all.]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-30 06:39 am (UTC)[Sheesh, so many trouble magnets among them.
Dogpiling might be for the best, really]
[action]
Date: 2012-04-30 07:36 am (UTC)[It's a protag thing, sadly...and it seems to infect everyone.
Yes. Dogpiling the pinksis and not letting her go out a window is the best option to keep her safe...or just take her to the beach. That would work too.]
[action]
Date: 2012-05-02 07:03 am (UTC)[Good point, this kid's really no exception.
...That'd probably make Leon a happy camper too]
[action]
Date: 2012-05-02 07:44 am (UTC)[Nope. Not an exception at all. None of their family is, truly.
...And it probably would. Heck, he may even help. He's good at barring doors with his body.]
[action]
Date: 2012-05-11 04:54 am (UTC)[Very true indeed.
As he earns himself the title of Doorstop]
[action]
Date: 2012-05-11 05:40 am (UTC)[The cautious bird gets the most worms, after all.
It's a good title. Almost as good as Knight...given their location, anyway. Johto probably doesn't need knights in shining armor yet.]
