One day, all Numbered will find a little letter in their post. The envelope is neatly addressed to them, and there's even a stamp on it, though it is not postmarked.

Inside, it reads:

"I need to meet you all. It is very important. Would you come to the old ruins on the Greens in the afternoon of the 2nd? I requested everyone else's presence as well.

If you have any questions, please call me under [follows a regular mobile phone number].

Sincerely,

Mr Helpful."

Hrm.

[Sam considers that a moment.]

Who exactly are you people, Mr. Helpful? You know more about all this mess than any of us. Did you start off like us, or have you always been different?

[saveournpcs]

Ah, no, I am different. I am a... how do you describe it best? A watcher. Or I should be. But with Mr Evil going the way he did... I could not keep watching.

[scarsolderthanyou]

[Something of a relief, then. Sort of. It does open up a lot more questions, but he's going to have to think of how best to ask them to get a response that's not vague and unhelpful. (Ironic.)]

Anyone who tries to help instead of just watching is okay by me. All right, I'll be there. Anything I should know before I get there?

[saveournpcs]

If you encounter Mr Evil in the meanwhile, please do not approach him.

All else, I think, won't be late if I tell you about it when we meet.

[scarsolderthanyou]

You think that's likely? We don't see either of you around all that much, anyway.

[saveournpcs]

You don't?

[Huh.]

Well, either way, please stay away from him even if you should encounter him.

[scarsolderthanyou]

[Sam is always on the lookout for their scent, okay. If they were around a lot, he'd notice. Unless they hide their scent somehow.]

What do you think he's likely to do if I don't? Last time I ran into him, all he did was get snarky and then disappear on me.

[saveournpcs]

I cannot tell, honestly. He is acting in ways that I could not have predicted.

All I know is that his name should be taken seriously.

[scarsolderthanyou]

All your names are hard to take seriously. But I'll try.

All right, I'll see you at your meeting thing.

[saveournpcs]

See you there.
