Name: Sokie Undertown
Date: Septeril 1st
Format: Video
[The video starts off with a woman sitting on the couch-or rather sprawled over it, holding up the Watch to her face level. Her expression, while it's usually amused and laid back, is a little grim. It seems she's seen the message that the Coven leaders have posted, and she's following through with her own response as to not clog up the feed.]
My name is Sokie, and I happen to be one of the new witches around here. And while I could go on and on, I'm just going to get into the heart of the matter. It's about the diplomatic and not so diplomatic mission.
Some of us should stay behind.
[Briefly, she holds up a hand.]
Hear me out. This isn't because of anything lacking, it's not to make it easier on the Dorries. It's more...we're going to be on their territory, far away from our own base. Whatever way we go in, they're going to have the advantage of the place, even with the resistance in their midst.
It may be possible that we'll somehow have our Watches not work in the city, for some, utterly mysterious reason.
[Her eyes widen, exaggerated, about the "mysterious" thing. Mystery her eye.]
It may not be a terrible idea for those of us to bond, and have one half stay behind. I know this is a crappy choice, and I know that it's terrible to be the one to be left behind. I'm planning on going myself, mostly to play the voice of compromise.
But if we're captured, if we're cut off from all communication, those remaining in the city need to know. We need each other, and I for one want to make sure that if they plan to screw us over, we can screw them right back.
[She brings up a hand in a salute]
Anyway. Sokie, out.

[ Close quarters, no privacy, monkey jumps on lines, everything is salty and lots of alcohol to make the journey fun. ]
So— [ Back to the original statement of the post ] Who are you leaving behind?
no subject
[She hasn't missed the overcrowding, but the chance to get out of the city for awhile? She needs it. As for the rest-she chuckles.]
Looks like I'll be leaving behind a few freshly bonded. Seems some people are very generous or find me very appealing.
no subject
[ That didn't answer the question, alas names are not that necessary. Even though he IS curious ]
Ah, leaving towards the sunset, what a romantic image. Fits your dashing rogue style. Can't believe you're so humble you don't know why you're getting bites.
no subject
[She also knows he wants to know. But she likes teasing him, so.]
I'm sure that's why. Or they're just doing me a favor this way. I've noticed there's a surprisingly nice people around here.
Unlike me, who is mostly just made of mischief and flirtation.
