Hadriel.
[His address begins in a straightforward tone. The issues of the past few months are behind them, and they've eked out survival for awhile longer. Sorrow isn't optimistic, but he's not inclined to give up, either. He makes plans, he executes them, he lets things fall into place.
Which is the reason for this.]
Now that most of you know the truth, and now that it has been shown that these creatures will truly follow us to the ends of creation, I have decided to send two of us to scout the location we left behind and intercept with the forces of the machines there. Their purpose would be to gather information- how these inorganics continue to find us, how we might be able to thwart their technology in an attempt to escape for good.
Of the eight of us, there are four pairs which work better together than others. Hope has asked me to let you decide who is to go, but I warn you to consider your options carefully. The gods who leave will not have any events until they return, so we'll throw a large one for their departure.
[Sorrow takes a deep breath. Onto the selection.]
Hope and myself could go. This would leave you without replenishing food and water, as well as limited methods of revival... Hope is valuable, and I would do everything in my power to protect him, and I can also ensure that we're not discovered.
Your second option would be Confusion and Tranquility. The two of them are our builders, and without them, the city will not be repaired and their various contributions will not be functional. Confusion would be adept at avoiding capture, though detection is another story.
Thirdly are Fear and Love. Fear... [He sighs.] Fear operates best in the shadows, though he's still weakened- however, if he leaves, it will mean that we'd be left vulnerable if attacked again, as none of the rest of us can move the city. Love themself is... well, perhaps they can be used as a distraction if Fear needs to escape.
[Sorry, Love.]
Finally, you have Delight and Rage. Since Delight is no longer maintaining the bar, your only significant losses with both of them would be the ongoing deals any of you may have with each of them. The two of them are our most accomplished fighters and would be able to wrestle themselves out of an unfavorable situation, given the power they'd take on from their final event.
[So that's that.]
I welcome any questions you may have.

And, maybe that's all we can do. And, we can find other people who are doing the same thing. [ Befriend them. ] We'll get through this.

[ Her words make Will smile on the other end of the line. She's got a good head on her shoulders, he's thankful the door pulls in people like her from time to time. Honestly, Will tries to stay out of trouble whenever possible, he hates the limelight and maybe because so many people disagree with his point of view, maybe that's why he's acting so brash? Too much focus on him. He doesn't like it. ]
That's what I'll be spending my time doing. if you find anyone that wants to help, by all means, do so. I'll stick to hunting and store food for the time being.

[ Like Damon Salvatore. ]
As long as you're careful, or you ask for help if you need it. Caroline's -- [ HA. What is she Elena. ] She can hunt, too. She's multitalented.
voice;
[ Anxiously cleaning his glasses on his sleeve now. a nervous tick he is prone to from time to time. ]
I've met her, she seems... Reliable and capable but still...
[ She's a little loud and in your face. It'll take Will some time to get used to Caroline. But both girls seem intelligent enough to ask for help when they need it, just like she's telling Will to do now. ]
voice;
[ She doesn't. Well, she does, but not really? It depends on the context. ]
Trust me. She can handle herself. [ Take her with you. Don't die. ]
voice;
Well, I thank you for your kind words on the matter.
[ As for Caroline? ]
That may be so, but we should strive to work together. Somethings we just can't survive on our own.
voice;
Take care, Will.
