[Swift is avoiding video this time for a good reason, though it's not that hard to figure out how he's feeling from just his voice. He is obviously not happy and his voice is low and quiet and rather tightly controlled.]

Some assistance, please, if you would. It seems I've been locked into my room and I'd rather not jump out the window if I can help it.

[He pauses for a moment there, silent.]

Seel is gone, which is for the best for now. At least you won't have to fight him to get in. I'm not sure if he left the front door unlocked either, though I doubt it. Do what you have to, I suppose. Although I'm sure there are more than a few of you who would be happy to just leave me here.

[He probably shouldn't have said that, but he's irritated.]

Regardless, I would be grateful. I'll find some way to repay you once I can see more than the walls.

[Kiran's not sure he's making the right decision, sending this message out to everyone... but whatever. If he keeps it vague it should be fine, right?]

I'm going on one of these field trips to the Hope Temples. For the orb stuff, sure. But also, like... there are ruins of old cities out there. We need to check them all out. Not even for Hope, but... like, what if there's stuff to salvage, or things we can learn about the gods and the Null and this place, you know?

I've got food stockpiled up from when that sandstorm came through. I don't technically need one of the bikes to get there and back, so we'll be okay if it breaks down. And, um, we wouldn't have to take any of the clinic's resources with us either, so that's not a concern.

[...that's enough of an explanation, right? yeah.]

You wanna come along, let me know. I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm gonna go shop for some supplies tonight if you wanna come with. [He pauses, and then adds with a hint of hesitation:] ...Or, if you need some extra help when you go yourself, let me know. I can help keep you safe and help make sure you get back.

[It seems he might have more to say, but then the message is over.]


((ooc: Kiran's got an open top-level at the event log here, in case any convos here lead to him teaming up with others!))
