<div class="floatleft">(https://www.naturallyamazing.com/americasparks/10489.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>GM Post<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>January 1st, 2018<br/><strong>Status:</strong>--<br/><strong>Notes/Triggers:</strong>A discussion with Count Harald.<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Lilisa (TheLaughingOne), Corrin (Nadir), Quinn (Sparrowhawke), Balthazar (Muse), Arwen (Eobelle)<br/><hr/><hr/>Harald gave an incredibly questionining look at Lilisa, as if she'd asked the sort of question he didn't need to answer, but he did nonetheless feel compelled to answer the Pooka. "So here's the thing: I can't hear whatever singing is in the air. But it seems that mortals can. That means every mortal in this park is in active danger, because we<em>know</em>something is in the park that has killled. I have no reassurances that it won't kill again. Yes, it killed my sister, but I also would rather like it to not kill anyone else. Oh, not to mention my boring Autumn job might<em>fire me for negligence</em>if I don't address the security issue. Much as I don't like banal things like my job here in the Autumn world--well, at least the responsibilities of it--I have to do well at it. If I don't clear the park, I lose my mortal livelihood, and while I could live comforably off what my sister left me, inheritance is not a stable income, so yes, much as I don't like it, I have a life to keep living even though hers is gone." It was clear he hated the answer to the question...but it was honest. It didn't portray him in the best light, exactly--his goal was to remove the mortals out of pure self-interest, but at least it wasn't a<em>bad</em>motivation,<em>per se</em>.<br/><br/>When Harald heard Quinn talk, he listened, and his face darkened in frustration and rage. He kicked the nearest tree with a very un-Sidhe like demeanor. Several times. He let out a constrained scream as he kicked. It was clear he was feeling overwhelmed by events. ONce he calmed, he said, "No, I have no idea why she would have Unleashed here. And I'll look over state and park records to see if anyone's gone missing, but I haven't heard of anyone going missing. Which...is really worrisome, because it means the Thallain here is<em>very</em>practiced at killing. Marvelous. Just makes my day. Great." His voice held a sarcastic sour note. Harald's tones were understandable given the circumstances, but he sounded more like a Grump than a Wilder in that moment.<br/><br/>Harley texted Quinn back.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;">I am ok &lt;3 <br/>there is some weird singing around here tho<br/>it is CREEPY<br/>can we leave yet</span></div><br/>Harald said to Quinn, "I can arrange a meeting with Duchess Cox, if needed. I<em>think</em>she's at the McAlester Freehold for today. I can send word ahead and she'll be expecting any of you." He took out a piece of paper and wrote down something, passing it to Corrin, Quinn, Arwen, and Balthzar. "My phone number--personal cell--for all of you. As I clear the park, though, there will be areas I do not get reception, so if I don't answer if you call today, that's why."<br/><br/>Harald was ready to let them leave if they were leaving at that point, and he thanked them for their time.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">For those tagged in this scene, let me know in the OOC thread where your PCs each intend to go--if you're sticking together, what you want to do, etc. If you aren't sure where you want to go from here, that's okay! Just tell me that, too, and I can give you suggestions based on what's been covered in-thread. It is okay to split up in this game, for the record. :) <br/><br/>M13, I will be getting a second post up for you shortly since Rick separated from the group!</div></div>
