» Horizon

Geralt is always reachable by the network. Unless it's an emergency, expect not to hear back for a few hours, if not a few days.

To talk to him in person, you'll need to be in Cadens or go to his domain, a snowy mountain fortress. Yard is open; doors are locked. If he isn't around, leave a delivery with the white wolf.

Forward dated to The Night

[magicalarchaeologist]

Geralt I need your help.

We were given prior knowledge that a coup is about to happen in Thorne. Thancred got a message from Jolene warning him, and he contacted those of us closest to the crown. We were given the option of staying and risking consequences, or leaving to go somewhere else. As of right now, we don't know where that will be, just that we have a limited window.

With her close relationship to the Queen, it is very likely Yennefer is in the most direct danger. I'm trying to talk her down but she's digging her heels in. I could use the back up.

For the record, I know why she stayed before, and I will look out for Ciri's interests in the castle from now on.

1/2

[gynvael]

Fuck.

[ Please hold, he will return shortly. ]

2/2; some hilarious amount of time later.

[gynvael]

She'll join the others.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Thank you for helping.

[ It's both a big relief and also personally tragic so he's just going to feel some things in a corner. ]

[gynvael]

And you?
You're to stay?

[magicalarchaeologist]

Yes. I have less concern for me, I've made myself useful enough any leader can use me.

I'll fulfill the protections necessary for the Summoned here, or at least try.

[gynvael]

Let's hope you're right.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Yes, it would be a shame to lose my head at this juncture.

[gynvael]

On that, we agree.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Don't get too sentimental on me, Geralt.

[gynvael]

It's a question of practicality.

Find me at the Square next time,
Should your head remain attached.

[magicalarchaeologist]

You'd miss me, admit it.

I might be dying so you could at least do that.

[gynvael]

I took a horse once,
on the way out of a less than welcoming town.

always causing problems.
biggest pain in my arse.

I did miss her.

[magicalarchaeologist]

I suppose for someone like you, being compared to a horse is a high compliment.

Past midnight, after finding out about FC

[magicalarchaeologist]

I saw Sidwell planned his attack very, very thoroughly.

Be safe, Geralt.

[gynvael]

Kings will be kings.

[magicalarchaeologist]

I always said if someone did a coup here, the concern would be Thorne seeming weak to the Free Cities. I didn't expect Sidwell to prepare for that, I've already been underestimating him.

Everyone got to Aquila?

[gynvael]

Mm-hm.
Where are you?

[magicalarchaeologist]

Safe room they got us all to, but unfortunately, we're in a spot of extra trouble. There was an explosion outside, it appears to have damaged the wards, we can't leave. I'm working on it.

[gynvael]

We aren't moving anywhere, either.
Have you heard word from Yen?

[magicalarchaeologist]

Nor should you, as long as whatever that cloud is remains in the air.
I've been keeping her updated about what is going on.
She would be angry if I didn't and she heard it secondhand.

[gynvael]

You worry too much about angering her.

[ He's only poking. ]

Are you familiar with a man named John Grey?

[magicalarchaeologist]

You don't have to live with her every day.

[ Oh fuck. ]

And I suppose I won't have to either now.

[ Ouch. ]

Yes, of course. Why?

[gynvael]

We weren't always apart.
You may not always be, either.

[ Their lives run long. Who knows? Regardless, Geralt prefers to keep his eyes on what's ahead than what may be far around a dozen twists and turns. ]

His position isn't high, but it isn't nothing.
If you find you need his aid, tell him we're...
acquainted.

[ He is rare to volunteer another, but John has a good heart and he trusts Istredd will not take advantage of it. ]

[magicalarchaeologist]

Perhaps.

And are you acquainted?
