[open network - video] backdated to beginning of August

Who: Delloso de la Rue
Username: rue
Warnings: mentions of murder/dissection, non-human

[After the last few difficult months here, is it any surprise that the first network message from Rue in some months now comes with none of the cheerful optimism and excitement of their last? Instead, the owlbear looks exhausted, tightly wound and deeply troubled.

Something they have recently learned has set them on edge.]


I am afraid I must be the bearer of unfortunate news.

Though our numbers have dwindled greatly these last few months, there are still those of us non-humans simply trying to live in this world. But I have recently been informed by Nia that there is a greater chance of danger coming for us. My worst fear about being seen by humans was the terror the sight of me would incite, but now I have learned that was only the beginning.

Pray, if you are weak of constitution, I beg of you to turn this off. I do not wish to distress anyone, only to inform.

To put it plainly, Nia said that if we were discovered by those government forces outside of ADI, that we would very likely be killed and dissected. Such news has weighed heavily on my heart, I can not think how any of us are meant to reaction to such horror.

[He looks somewhere between serious and embarrassed, but he does come inside.]

I look the same as always. You're smiling pretty big, though.

[That can't just be him. Other people are coming to their side on the network post, he saw on his way over. They have people. That's important. Hopefully this thing he has for them helps, too.]

Coffee'd be nice. Thanks.

[Winter doesn't get the point of iced tea. Just drink juice or water if you want something cold.

As small talk is not his forte, and he'd like to move past the embarrassing compliments as soon as possible, he launches pretty quickly right into his reason for coming:]

So me and Belova and Steve and-- a few of us, actually. We've got trackers. It's helped me find Cortana before when she was in trouble. I thought, maybe, if you wanted one too. There's a burner phone that comes with it, so you can track us, too.
worthallthis: (look up)

[personal profile] worthallthis 2023-08-19 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it will help. I've already saved Cortana once with it.

[And hey, at least Winter only does it with people's permission now. He's considered before just sticking trackers to people without their knowledge, but frankly, that's inefficient because it could be found, or only work on some of their clothes, or they don't wear clothes....

So: with permission and full knowledge.]

Yes, that's what the extra phone is for. It has the trackers for all of us on it, as well as yours. I will show you how to work it.

It's easy. It's a map on your phone with dots for where each person is.

[He pulls both the tracker and the spare phone out of his jacket pocket to show them.]

You keep the tracker in your pocket, or I guess you could put it on a chain as a necklace or something, but it's not very pretty.

[It's also not very big, so it could pass for a weird pendant.]

Exactly. Make sure to keep it on you all the time, when you aren't in your apartment.

[And he'll run them through how to work the phone and the single app on the home screen, the tracker. It's basically just a google maps type thing with moving dots for each tracker. Rue can highlight a name on the list to track each person. label each tracker dot on the map whatever they'd like, though it defaults with their first and last names. Currently it's Winter, Yelena, Steve, Cortana, and Kate. Rue's dot shows up, too. (Steve's dot will update to "Steven" after his run-in with the fae that steals his name...)]

It should automatically add a new dot if anyone else gets a tracker. Gonna give one to Martin, too, I think.

And I'll feel better knowing I can find you if there's trouble.

[Winter gives them a light pat on the elbow.]

If any of your people want one, too, I can always get more to add to the app.
