Order Only

Say. Have a listen to the WWN.

They're reporting that we've killed a bunch of people. Today. Or anyway, they've been found today.

It includes Daphne's parents. Found in Brighton in a house by their elf. Says MLE're investigating.

Another one's Athena Belby, the opera singer.

And there've been some others. They're not naming names yet, though, but they're saying 'authorities' believe there's a link between these murders and what happened to Crispin. And they're telling people to be careful and to look out for people wearing the Phoenix arm band. Nice touch, that.


But. Daphne's family. I can't even.

Don't PM them, Sue. DEMLE will be watching the journals, and it'll put a target on them if they get a PM from our side.

For all I know, Astoria's firm on the other side. Queenie, too, though if you say she's not, then I believe you. I just don't know otherwise.

You could send an owl. And, yeah, you could certainly warn them against people posing as us. And remind them where to find us if they want our help.


We could ask Brodie if we could try to find them and take them into protection, but if they didn't actually want our help, it would be sticky.

Good points all. 'S why I asked.

And it just occurred to me that DEMLE could bait a trap with them (or their books)!

Owl it is; I'll send Valkyrie--she has good sense for an owl--and I'll charm the parchment too.

I just want this to be a situation where we can do something.

[alt_ron]

I know.

It's horrible to just be sat here with no way to help.

[alt_susan]

Too right!

I dunno how you're not going spare, with everyone who's in the wind right now.

[alt_ron]

Who says I'm not?

[alt_susan]

You're faking it all right, then.

And I respect the hell out of you as an Auror and a person. But if you need to take a break from being professional and hit things, well, feel free to wipe the floor with me in training any time.

[alt_ron]

You're a bit o' alright, Sue. You know that?

[alt_susan]

Back at yer!
