[E-mail: Siegmund]
[~their secret spy emails~]

I'm hearing rumors about the assassin guild being in bad shape. What do you know of it?

[No response all day. That's unusual. Maybe something happened to his phone?]

[Dragon Mail: Siegmund Heissenrech]

Where are you?

[The signature is "Spinel" to be on the safe side.]

[... The dragon doesn't take it.]

[Dragon Mail: Siegmund, player of Wolfram]

[Dragon, come on. Is the system broken? You are sitting RIGHT HERE, dragon. The system can't be broken.]

[He asks a few people to make sure...]

[Dragon Mail: Deathbringer]

[... Why isn't the dragon taking it?]

[it's tuesday by the time he can respond]

[do you know how hard it is to find reception out in the middle of the pacific, rhys?]

I know only that the Armaiti isn't there.

[brokencrescendo]

[flooding, he hears. and siegmund might have been caught in it, a casualty of the merge. there's no thoughts of retribution or righteousness. there's nothing right about more losses. siegmund's gone. siegmund shouldn't be g-- phone?]

[no he doesn't know because he doesn't believe you're in the pacific]

[or siegmund at all]

What was the first thing you drew for me?

[bloodonthestones]

[...rhys]

[he realizes this is probably an authenticity check, though]

[he responds with a link to the image in question, it's a doodle of Victor]

[brokencrescendo]

[?!]

[he's going through reasons how someone else could know about that and have it on hand, but he's not getting any]

Where are you? Are you okay?

The dragons won't send anything to you.

[bloodonthestones]

Fiji, I think? GPS doesn't work right.

[they won't?]

[brb trying to send one himself]

[nothing happens when he uses the stamp]

My stamps don't work, either. The dragon doesn't come.

[brokencrescendo]

[Fiji?!]

Do they have a range limit?

I thought you were dead.

[bloodonthestones]

A range limit seems strange, but maybe.

I'm alive.

For now.

The Armaiti is crazy.

[brokencrescendo]

[omg wtf is that what you meant by her not being there]

She's hunting you?

[bloodonthestones]

[rhys, what! that is not what he meant at all!!]

No.

She stole a boat.

And then stole a sea monster after it ruined the boat...

[brokencrescendo]

Siegmund.

Are you on a sea monster right now?

[bloodonthestones]

No. I am on an island right now.

But I was on a sea monster.

[brokencrescendo]

[BUT WHY]

[...]


A stolen island?

[bloodonthestones]

She didn't steal the island.

But I think she will steal another boat.

[brokencrescendo]

[this is only slightly less worrying than being dead]

Are you going to be okay?

[bloodonthestones]

I hope so.

She tries to get back to Zen.

[brokencrescendo]

And you with her, right?

[bloodonthestones]

Yes.

[brokencrescendo]

[He's met the Armaiti. He wants to think she'll look out for her own and not use Siegmund for emergency rations nope stop]

[What does he even say? "Be careful"? "Let me know if you need anything I can't send you"?]

Keep me posted?

[bloodonthestones]

[she'll look out for him so long as he makes himself useful, and he knows it.]

I will.
