I have a proposition for you.

[ without warning, a few days after they … “arrive.” ]

Aventurine.

[ she sounds ... tired. the month's barely begun and already the effects of the blood moon are wearing on her.

still, it's not as if she can afford to stop or slow down. the world will keep moving even if she does not. ]

I have something I'd like to show you.

Jinx's Murmur Announcement

• murmur connection between Aventurine, Kalmiya, Toki, Sharon, Jaskier.

I'd like to discuss the situation regarding One and Sleep that Jinx revealed to us earlier.

In person, I don't trust that One is able to be kept out of our personal affairs within the Murmur short of a shared tether, but if he's flesh and blood he most likely has to make some inconvenient effort on his part to eavesdrop physically.

Unfortunately, Sleep is an Unknown, so we just have to work with Her being assumed Omniscient.

In short... I think we may have a problem with a capital P fast approaching, and it's not to do with Sleep's encouragement for Jinx to deliver Her the results of an indoctrinated killing of Her first vessel.

Although it's short notice, I need you here [ he'll give them a location and visual of the Crosby Hotel ] by noon tomorrow.

[ This is a sticky note with this appearance left at Aventurine's bag. It's been placed right on the top, where it's impossible to miss! It's handwritten in their home language, Universal Script. ]

Aventurine,
Don't forget to smile today! For yourself!
You've really worked hard all this time. I want you to know that I've noticed it all and appreciate your efforts.
You're always doing your best, even without the pressure of the IPC here. It just proves the honest nature you have.
You know I'm always here, right? You don't have to do everything alone. Don't hesitate to come and bother me anytime!

[It had been an interesting few weeks of settling in the Hotel at Aventurine's invitation. The residents were a motley bunch- but that was hardly a surprise. It was familiar, even. But Urushihara knew that it was high time he fessed up about a few matters to the man who was hosting him.

It was a matter of safety for everyone, after all.

After his usual hoodie had gotten sodden while helping Jayce, Urushihara had found a selection of hoodies to swap around while he laundered them, incident ridiculously pink sleep hoodie with fleece lining to wear while hunkered down in the hotel hiding from the beasts that were starting to emerge.

He looked almost comical as he approached wherever Aventurine was- it was the serious frown on his face that dampened the humor.]

Oi, Sunglasses? Do you have a minute? Or, maybe five?
