Mariette handled those portals as needed to ensure he came back. Alicia would probably note that Mariette’s clothing had been considerably damaged since last time they saw one another, which wasn’t that long ago. Multiple parts of it was ripped due to debris that had fallen onto her, parts of her arms were somewhat bruised, and the remnants of dirt and dust were over her dark clothes. Something had clearly happened to her in that short span of time. Mariette had a mental sigh on Alicia’s method of introducing her. [color=186cc7]‘I feel I need to reaffirm. Justine and I were never on the same side. Our goals would never align, our cooperation was one of mutual benefit that would inevitably lead to conflict. If you’d like proof of that, I believe Alexander could serve. I gave him and Lily a warning of the impending threat as soon as she contacted me, with intention of preparing for things to come.’[/color] … Now, whatever they did with said warning was a bit beyond her, but she had given it. [color=186cc7]‘I haven’t recruited anyone, I simply joined this group that were already intending on going on this quest. However, that said, there are plans for going on a recruitment spree, using my portals and Eli’s notes to recruit as many as possible for this attack…’[/color] Mariette said, looking over towards Eli, Sue, Anaya and Scout. [color=57a345]‘Okay. Prioritizing hero mentalities, those who can’t say no and those who’d love a big fight, then,’[/color] Eli confirmed, nodding to Sue’s words as she leafed through her notes too fast for Sue to actually properly read. Each individual had crosses or check marks, however. She put small “v”s on numerous individuals, those Eli herself thought were good options to attempt to recruit. … So none of those she marked with “v”s were such with check marks. [sub][sub][sub]since you can’t recruit those who were kidnapped[/sub][/sub][/sub] [color=57a345]‘Alright, who’s heading out? I can be here to suggest targets, Mariette can send us to them, but then it’ll be up to you to convince them of our cause and send them back here, where someone should be welcoming them and briefing them…’[/color] So Eli commented, looking to those present. Meanwhile, Mariette turned towards Alicia. [color=186cc7]‘I have need of that phone, so I can communicate with those who wants portals. Did you get one?’[/color] [@BrokenPromise][@Majoras End][@Card Captor][@Shifter_Master][@Hammerman]
