Live from Council Chambers to your televisions it's a breaking news update

[Union has always had a strong radio culture. Radio is how you get your news. Radio is how you get your entertainment. Always before, radio was king.

But today, for the first time ever, Union citizens tuned in not only to their radios, but to their televisions, newly acquired and quickly mass produced from Team Evolution technology. The flicker of black and white images was beamed into every household, and it was the image of a councilor, rotund, his face flushed with anger and embarassment, and naked as the day he was born, save for a towel he was hastily trying to cover his immense girth with.

It wasn't a pretty sight.

As reporters swarmed the man he beat them off as some beleaguered Swords of the Savior formed a human wall to get him safely into the council chamber, where he would stay for the next hour. During this time, reporters stood outside, speculating. Was this a scandal? Some grave infidelity? A councilor caught in a compromising position?

Finally, the same councilor emerged to a rush of journalists. Standing at a podium, he began to speak]

People of Union, I come today with grave news. There are few among you who may know, but we recently identified several caravans between Union and Caldera that are missing. At first, we thought they may have run into trouble with Wild Pokemon or the weather, but our search parties have failed to rendezvous with them. They did, however, find some signs of battle, we suspect they were taken somewhere. Thankfully, no bodies were found, and I can only hope and pray that our people remain safe.

Today, while I was outside of Union’s borders, I came under attack! The thieves took me from behind, and they stripped me of all my clothing and worldly possessions. We have had word of other such attacks within the past several hours as well.

People of Union, it seems we once again have come up against a threat to our fair city. But this time, they strike at us from the shadows. The Council is organizing a search party immediately. The caravan was last in contact near the grassy plains to the northeast, the search parties will be dispatched to that area first to look for any sign of our people. In the meantime, we implore you, do not leave the city alone! Everyone should travel in groups whenever possible, and make sure at least a few people know how to fight. We cannot afford to lose any of our precious citizens to these thieving miscreants! They… they took everything! Everything!

[The man begins sobbing quietly before two Swords of the Savior lead him back into the council chamber. The press begin to swarm the door but they are held back. The news feed will continue into the night, but the council isn’t saying anything more, at least not yet]

Crafty enough that they're kidnapping people. I'd say they've got some tricks up their sleeve, it's not easy to get away with that without leaving a trail.

Yeah, I guess so. I just hate that they're making us look like a bunch of morons. I'm gonna leave so many footprints on their faces when I catch up to them!
garbagedisposal: (I just want to talk)

[personal profile] garbagedisposal 2014-07-23 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, let's try to find them first. Then we can worry about saving those people. [And kicking their butts and all that jazz.]

Right. And then I get to kick some bandits' faces in.

Hopefully they'll just come peacefully, but if they want a fight, a fight's what they'll get.

[He doesn't mind fighting for sure, but he hopes they don't have to do that.]
footprints_on_your_face: (that I could not recognize)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-24 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
They don't seem interested in doing anything peacefully.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. [He still sounds determined, but at the same time not too happy about that.] But the only way we're gunna find out is if we head them off.

[But where...?]

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-25 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... but then we're back to the problem of finding them.

[He sets back, with a hand on his head.]

Yeah, I guess we are...but we're not going to be doing much just sitting here talking about it.
footprints_on_your_face: (you've done it)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-25 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you're right. Guess I'd better get ready!

That's the spirit! [Exactly what he wanted to hear.]

If I meet you out there, we can take care of business together.
footprints_on_your_face: (joy!)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-07-26 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Gotcha! See you out there, then!
