Work Friends Are Like Prison Friends [October | Closed to the Ocularum]
Who: Agent Jean & Members of the Ocularum They Don't Know Well Yet
What: Post-Gala Follow-ups & Allaying Concerns
When: Early October
Where: YOU pick
Warning(s): Honestly hard to list but, y'know, Jean Things. Violence, corporate exploitation, discussions of brutality, depression & self-loathing, absolutely bonkers capitalist bullshit
Those members of the Ocularum who have recently joined, or whom Jean does not yet know well, find handwritten letters delivered to them. The writing itself is neat and professional, though at some difficulty; the thick paper bears the marks of scouring sand for the ink, indentations where spelling mistakes or sloppy handwriting from picking up speed has been destroyed and replaced with something the author deems more suitable. Still.
Esteemed Peer,
You may recognize me from the recent meeting. I must apologize for not being at my best during that time; I offer no excuses. However, given the state of recent events, and especially rising tensions in Pumpkin Hollow, I am moved to correct my previous state of negligence. It would be my privilege, if you are amenable, to meet and discuss at a time or place of your choosing and explain whatever happenings at the Gala you deem in need of explanation, and answer questions you may have as to my intentions, qualifications, and background. Food and drink can be provided; time of day or inconvenience of locale are no object. Please send your reply via letter, telephone, or sending stone to:

CT pulls a face. "Hard to say. This is a much... smaller societal ecosystem in general, even if much of the population wasn't also otherworlders, which in my experience can swing either into somehow more totalitarian behaviour or to much more lax enforcement depending on the local atmosphere. Given this place used to be headed by a man who seemingly dealt with the demons and multiple other members of local high society were Nyarlathotep cultists, though..."
She nods her head to the side.

"I don't know," she says, truthfully. Ever since Cerrit's promotion, the potential for unbalance has been on her mind, but... "I have business to finish at home. Whatever I do in the meantime, once the barrier is down... I don't intend to stay here long."

This meeting might be over. Jean's eyes glide, mostly without thought, towards the exit.
no subject
"Yeah. I'll do what I can."
She can't say she didn't serious consider quitting, after recent events, but she made the choice to stay for... some collection of reasons she's still not quite sure the scope of.
Things are complicated. They probably always will be.
