...What is all of this?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

[flaps his wings irritably, shedding feathers]

I require your assistance. It has been an excruciatingly stressful week.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

...Alright. Is everything okay? What do you need us to do?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

Everything is not okay. Surely you have noticed the disarray.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

Yes, of course. I apologize. What do you need us to do?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

I have brought uniforms and other sundries for all of the ... newcomers, save those that have already been attended to by Ophiuchus. I need you to deliver them.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

Alright.

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

You will also be required to write down their names and units.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

I don't know if we know of all of them... should we visit every team to check?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

You may have to, yes. I have only brought you half of the uniforms to be delivered, as Ophiuchus will be handling the rest.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

[...nods]

So we will only be visiting half of the teams?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

You only have two packages to deliver. One to Monoceros and one to Corvus. The third...

[is wrapped in brown paper]

... will be required by you or your partner team soon enough, if my calculations are correct.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

--One of us?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

Yes. I would advise not to look in the parcel. Its ... mild instability will be ruined if it is observed directly.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

[...mildly unstable clothing...]

I won't look, and I will let the others know.

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

[schrödinger's uniforms!!1]

Very good. You will have to comb all the teams for the new blanks' names, unfortunately; I do not have a complete list of of them. However, I can tell you that there is only one new person per partner team.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

[...nods]

I understand.

...May I ask a question?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

[settles]

You may.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

I know that it's not my place to ask, so I apologize, but... is there anything that you could tell us about what happened to the Pillar? About its affect on people?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

There should be no effect if you keep your distance. There are disturbances, but they are limited in scope.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

And if you don't keep your distance?

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

You would be breaking the rules.

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

... it would be unwise to approach, anyway. The area is highly unstable.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

[...]

...You will likely hear it from the black team soon enough that some people did break the rules. I want to know if there is any way to find out what exactly was done to them and how we can reverse it.

[sabra_la_npcs2.insanejournal.com]

[blinks at him]

What was done to them? What do you mean?
