[Video post]

[The video starts, showing nothing but a blank stone wall for a few moments before a woman moves into view. She's wearing a dark grey dress, and she flips red hair back over her shoulder before smiling at the camera. A red amber stone wrapped in silver wire hangs on a cord around her neck]

Well, well, are we missing someone? Or two? You know, it's not safe to go wandering about unattended. Some people aren't as good at fighting as they think they are.

[She plays with her necklace for a second before shrugging]

Oh well. I should introduce myself, shouldn't I? I'm Awiergan, a few of you might remember me from a while ago. Lovely wedding.

[She laughs for a second before reaching down to pick up something, then dangles it in front of the screen. It's a silver heart-shaped locket adorned with birthstones. The chain is intact]

Obviously you know who this belongs to. I also have the little one. He's such an adorable baby, not afraid of fire at all. You must be very proud of him, Jalen.

[Awiergan looks off-screen, then disappears briefly. She returns with a squirming Eli in her arms]

Say hi, Elijah!

[Laughing, she reaches out and turns off the video]

If you harm a hair on either of them, so help me-

What do you want?

[ondraedan.livejournal.com]

That's a standard response, isn't it? I would have thought someone like you could come up with something better. Really, I'm not impressed. They're both just fine...for now.

Hmm, what do I want? Nothing any of you Refugees can give me. I'm just doing this for fun~

[medrau.livejournal.com]

Is this typical of the villains who bully the refugees these days? Kidnapping babies for fun and then blatantly broadcasting themselves across the network, begging to be punished?

Maybe I shoulda been here in the days of Org 13. Sounds saner.

[ondraedan.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm a villain now. Perfect. I've really been trying hard to earn that title.

[this is called killing yourself with your tongue]

[medrau.livejournal.com]

If that's how it is, you're more like a baddie, or a goon, or a minion. Are you someone's minion?

[ondraedan.livejournal.com]

Minions are disgusting little creatures with spears and tails, so no.

[medrau.livejournal.com]

Spears and tails? Really?
What world are you from?

[ondraedan.livejournal.com]

Here and there?

[medrau.livejournal.com]

Uhuh.
I should shut up now.

[creepy-son-of-a.livejournal.com]

What do you hope to accomplish with this?

[shaderic.livejournal.com]

I too wish to know this.

[ondraedan.livejournal.com]

Terror and suffering? Actually, I just needed a good laugh.

[shaderic.livejournal.com]

Yeaaaah, I don't hink we're going to get along, madame terrorist.

[shaderic.livejournal.com]

I finally manage to finagle internet again, and this happens.

Hey. I'm Shaderic. I don't believe we've met.

Before I finish making my initial opinion of you as someone that deserves to be shot, I'm gonna ask a question. Did you seriously kidnap a baby, just for the Evuls? No ulterior motives, no bloody sacrifices, but because you could?

[ondraedan.livejournal.com]

Kidnapped the baby and his mother. Musn't forget her.

I could sacrifice him, but I think he'd make a better apprentice. Magic's in his blood, after all.

[shaderic.livejournal.com]

Well, madame Terrorist, I'm just going to be filing you straight into the 'Evulz' category, if you don't mind. Might I ask where you are so that I can write up a proper BOLO?

Perhaps you misunderstood my intention that we not draw attention to ourselves until the current crisis has passed.

The time is not right for overt action, particularly not for the sake of your own amusement.

But very well. Done is done. Reveal no secrets, especially not about the traitors in their midst nor the fact that you are part of something larger. Should they discover anything of importance because of your actions, I will be most displeased.

I apologize, my Lady. I have no worthy excuse.

Re: [Locked to Maleficent]

[lefthandedsidhe.livejournal.com]

Perhaps this can yet be turned to our advantage. Have you ever heard of a changeling?

I grow weary of Twilight Town. I shall prepare what is necessary and bring it to you.

I have. While an intriguing idea, I'm not so certain it would work. Amy knows what her child's essence feels like thanks to her empathic abilities. She'd be bound to notice sooner rather than later. We might be better served simply keeping him without a replacement.
