peacefulwinter[Winter appears on the network at lunchtime, face set in a serious expression. She looks... a little nervous. But this is too important to let her feelings get in the way, so she forces them aside and begins to speak.]
I know that... a lot of you are probably worried about what happened in Las Vegas on Sunday. I k-know I am. It... scares me, that there could be more people like us. Who don't know what's going on. Who... are going to be feared, and shunned, because they're different. Because they were chosen, though n-no fault of their own. I know... what that feels like. Many of us do.
I'm sure I'm not the only person. But... I want to go. I have to go. There are t-things I have to do, to be able to live with myself, to be able to live with this power I've gotten, and the person I got it from. This... is one of them. There are a few things I need first, though... I need a car, and I need to pack some supplies. I n-need to make sure everything is ready, because once we leave, there's no turning back. I have to talk to some people... make sure some affairs are in order. I've got to... say a few goodbyes, too.
But more importantly... I need a team. I c-can't do this by myself. I know others are going... but if anyone wants to come with me, I am looking for volunteers. I've gotten permission to... lead a team from the school. It'll be an independent study project, so... we're not t-technically absent, because we're on an assignment. I can't promise you'll be completely safe. We... saw that for ourselves, two weeks ago. But everything in my power, I'll do. I want to make that clear. Whether you're coming with me, or you happen to be there on your own, or even someone new that h-happens to have lived in Las Vegas anyway... all of those are people I will do my best to protect. [She finally smiles a little.] Not that m-most of you needed me to say that.
If you want to discuss plans, or you want to come with me... please, let me know. Here, in person, in private, it doesn't matter. But please, don't sit idly by. We didn't defeat the snake by waiting for someone else to do something. We only made it... because everyone w-worked together. That is how we need to continue from here. All of us, together. I admit, I am... a little worried that something will happen here, while we're gone, so not all of us should go. But we cannot just leave people to become stuck in something they don't understand without help. I didn't like it any when I first b-became numbered and I had to work out so much, and I don't think they'll like it any more than I did.
We leave next Friday, the fourth, after school. I would like a head count... by the Monday prior to that, the thirty-first. If you change your mind, I won't force you to come. But once we leave, there's no t-turning back. Please... think carefully. And if you decide that you want to come with me... I am happy to have you, and proud to work with you.
[The video clicks out after another moment, and in the high school cafeteria, the space Winter was occupying, sitting with her back to a wall seems to unfreeze, and she lets out a deep breath. Hopefully, she got her message across, and she wouldn't be going alone. Well, she wasn't going alone as it was, but... just herself and Lily would be a hard sell, and it'd make her uncomfortable in a very big way.]
((Winter's already gotten permission from the faculty for her little gambit, and is holding several official copies of a notice to that effect; OOCly, that happened some time ago in a plot post, but it ICly happened this morning, shortly before this post. A little more information and a space for plotting is up on the S2 plot post.))
