Thancred, I'm alright.
Nero is gone too and I can only assume his travelling group is as well.
Not Urianger...is G'raha with you?
[ How many of their friends are missing? ]

[ She hasn't been taken. Thank the gods for that, at least. ]
G'raha is still here, but it sounds as if people have been taken from all three factions.
We will do our best to investigate every possible avenue here in Thorne.
[ He hardly needs to ask if she'll do the same. ]

Hello, Himeka. We haven't met yet, but Sam mentioned you were a trustworthy person to speak to in Solvunn. My name is Natasha and Sam's delegated me to try and keep information flowing between the Summoned in different factions, so we all have access to all the information people are digging up on these disappearances.
Would you be willing to talk? If so, we can do it this way or meet in the Horizon, whichever is easier for you.

[ All three...
That's a very bad sign.
She will, of course, further her own investigations. ]
I thought Nero had just fallen into some trouble.
[ Which is something she can absolutely handle. Just run in after him and pull him out if need be. ]
The Singularity, could it be in flux or something?

As well as one can be. I hope you are too.
Same here, unfortunately. The Commune is aware and prayers are being offered, but who knows if they'll be answered...
Truth be told, people go missing around here regularly, especially in some settlements. But it's never been the Summoned. That's the strangest of all. We're usually revered by the people so I can't imagine this is their doing.

Hi Natasha,
I'd be happy to. Or, well, as happy as anyone can be given what's going on. I think we'd be able to speak more openly in Horizon.

Wonderful. Sam's currently got a sort of base camp set up at his Domain where I've been working out of, if you know where that is. If not, I could always come find you at yours.
I have doubts that the Singularity had anything to do with it this time.
[ FOR ONCE. ]
I traced Urianger and Istredd's last steps and found a pile of books they must have had with them, along with signs of a struggle.
They were taken, Himeka.

During the Dimming festivities we heard rumors of natives going missing in Thorne. I hoped maybe they had left on their own, there's been tensions around Nott ever since the Free Cities attack and people haven't felt safe...
[ But from the frantic messages he's been receiving it sounds as though some of those people might have been forcibly taken too. ]
I plan on scouting near the border of our factions as soon as Thorne loosens their leash again. I'll let you know if I find anything leading toward your side.

In Thorne as well?
[ Now that is surprising...if only because she just assumed people going missing in Solvunn is related to the fact that they are definitely, definitely part of a larger nation-wide cult. But why would people be going missing in Thorne? ]
Nott has always been something on outs with the rest of the Kingdom, right?
[ Would that make them an easy target? ]
Yes, please do. I'm planning on making a trek myself to a shrine I visited some time ago. The disappearances here have been difficult to track so mayhaps appealing to a higher power will provide some insight.

There's longstanding issues. They don't get the attention or supplies from the throne that Castle Thorne or Borrel do.
Travel safe. Be careful
[ And then he adds: ]
May Parfir protect you in the darkness of his sleep and lavish you with joy upon his waking.
[ A simple blessing. One he's not used in quite some time, even before arriving in this world. ]
( ooc: He will share this with her on the 28th, including the note from Altair. Anything he finds will be posted in this CrossFaction thread so feel free to handwave getting anything from him! )

I remember where it is, yes. I can meet you there in an hour if that works?
A struggle...
But the castle is heavily guarded. The whole city, isn't it? Does that mean this is an inside job?

Given that it sounds as if people have been taken from the Free Cities and Solvunn as well, I can only assume there's more to it than that.
Unless the group behind this has spies in all three factions.
[ Which, to be fair, is possible. ]

If only we had three Thancreds to look into that.
There are a few people I want to touch base with but I'll see if the Council will meet with me. I can't imagine they are any more fond of the thought of the Summoned going missing. Nor the locals.

I am confident there are others with my work ethic and skillset to be found in the other factions. Or I hope so, at least.
[ He has Natasha here, but surely not all of the spies ended up in Thorne... ]
If there is any time that we need them to listen, it is now.
I imagine that Stephen will be in touch with Ambrose here as well. I will reach out to him and Yennefer shortly.
Himeka, if there is aught you need from me, I am but a thought away.

[ The message that comes through is jumbled and disjointed, since the sender is still in the height of his fever and the vision that had blanked out everything else for its duration has left him shaken and disoriented. But he tries. ]

They were the ones that you travelled around the kingdom placing surveillance things with, right? Do you think that those would have caught something?
Same to you, Thancred. We won't Urianger and the others be gone for long.

[ It's heartening, that blessing. Something she takes to heart knowing how important it is to him. She feels it's only fitting to offer him similar well-wishes from her world. ]
You too, Kyle.
May you walk in the Light of the Crystal.
[ ooc; She will, likewise, made contact with one of the gods and describe the two visions she received from it:
Himeka will continue to see more visions, one that portrays an area of decay and corruption in the swamps. The wildlife is also disrupted. This image will come with a feeling of great sorrow and distress, as if Vimorskas is extremely upset at the state of the land. He will show her an image of the swamp before the corruption took hold, suggesting he would like her to help restore it.
Finally, she will see some dying mushrooms trapped inside a clay pot. Though they appear to be no different than common fungi, the vision conveys that they are in a lot of pain. ]

That is one option we will no doubt look into.
[ He hasn't even messaged the two of them yet, but he just knows. They put a lot of work into setting those up, they may as well make use of them. ]
If you are able to get in touch with him in any way, I suspect hearing from you might set his mind at ease.

Sylvain?
I'm here! Your message isn't full but I think I get it. I remember the maze in horizon! That was when the Harolds were wrecking havoc.

You think they're responsible?
