[In Thorir's background, one can see what looks half like a tunnel, half like a normal street with houses on either side, many adorned with geometrical patterns. They are lit by lamps that just seem a bit out of place, hanging under the roof of the street like streetlamps, and a few houses on the street have signs on the door or otherwise look lived-in. It's all very clean and well-kept, though empty.]

As some of you know, there is a numbered colony inside the mountain that has risen under Las Vegas. The entrance is hidden, and we want to keep it that way so that it can remain a safe place for those numbered that don't want to leave America. Everyone is welcome to claim a house or room, there are plenty. A lot of the mountain isn't yet explored and might be unsafe, but there seem to be no monsters hiding in it like in the catacombs in Locke City, and the area that has electricity, wi-fi and mobile signal is safe. We also have running water.

...We'll just have to hope that they don't dig too deeply while building all the things on the mountain.

[He pauses to make it clear that he's changing the topic - it's also announced by his factual manner gaining a dangerous glint.]

I will be participating in the attack on the Mafia. I already talked to Hjalti and he's coming with me. If anyone else from Vegas wants to join us, we'll go to Locke a few hours early so he can pick up some weapons at my store.

That said, if anyone needs firearms, a sword, and axe or daggers for this, contact me and I will set you up with it.

Well I want to do something.

[Liam pauses and furrows his brows warily.]

...Battlefield? Is that really what this is?

[disdainfully]

It's an armed attack on a group of people that without question will be armed as well. Call it an ambush, but it's certainly closer related to a battle than a training camp. [And that doesn't bother him nearly as much as he feels that it should.]

[arrowpoint]

Can't we call it fighting? Battle makes it sound worse.

[He wasn't sure he wanted to be in a full out battle...]

[disdainfully]

[Scaring you away from it is the point, Liam.]

Not if fighting makes it sound like sports to you.

[arrowpoint]

What? No! Fighting is bad, and people get hurt. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

[disdainfully]

How is battle worse than fighting, then?

[arrowpoint]

Battles are big. Like, really big. Fighting is like... a few people, you know?

[disdainfully]

There will be more than a few people there, so by your definition, it will be a battle.
