let's make a PLAN ft. mitsuruf

[homeecspacecop]

[It's Sunday, and Chuuta has an idea (nothing concrete, just an idea) of what happens tomorrow. A food delivery, and maybe (just maybe) a chance to get someone out.

The only question is, who? He'd talked to Shirou about it, and they'd come to the conclusion that it couldn't be either of them. And Richie isn't going to leave Eddie behind, so his invisibility won't do them any good.

Drew's oddly quiet, either sleeping or just watching, and on Sunday after lunch, Chuuta goes to find Mitsuru.]

Mitsuru-kun? [He, uh, doesn't remember if he ever heard the other boy's family name.]

Can I talk to you about something?

There's a food delivery coming tomorrow, and if they bring a truck we might be able to sneak someone out of the camp. You're the only person other than Richie who can turn invisible, and you can protect yourself, so I thought you might... be willing to think about getting onto the truck.

[killtheanimals]

[Straightforward and to the point. He appreciates that, and tilts his head down to tuck his chin into his hand thoughtfully as a result.]

You would need to find a way to stop Red if she or Blue catches on. You realize that, yes?

[homeecspacecop]

Yeah. I think we'll need to keep Red distracted, because no one here's been able to counter her powers yet. I'll ask Boa if he thinks he can do that, and if he can't then I'll find someone else. If I try to talk to her while the truck's here, she might get suspicious.

[killtheanimals]

I wonder if that would be enough...

How many to you plan to get involved in this?

[homeecspacecop]

I know, and Shirou-san knows, and we'll need one more person to distract Red, but I think if we get too many people involved, someone's going to do something stupid. [Most of the time, Chuuta's the one doing something stupid, but someone like Lenka might try and rush in and throw off the whole plan.]

[killtheanimals]

[That sounds reasonable. He nods.]

...If you can secure a distraction, I'll see what I can do. Can Emiya provide any backup?

[homeecspacecop]

He's not good with stealth, and if things go wrong... I don't know that we'll be able to help you. We'll try, but... [But everyone's seen how powerful the things they're going up against are.]

[killtheanimals]

[Another nod.]

So I should operate as though I'm on my own.

[Fair enough, but still good to know.]

[homeecspacecop]

Yeah. And we have no idea what you'll find once you get out of here, or what you might be able to do. But it's worth a try.

[killtheanimals]

...Alright. I suppose we'll see just what we can find out...

[Unlike Lenka, he likes to think he's far more cautious. Surely this will go far better.]

[homeecspacecop]

Thanks. I don't know if you'll be able to get any information back right away, but if you can find a radio, I might be able to pick up a message.

[killtheanimals]

A radio? I'll see if I can find one.

No promises, of course.

[homeecspacecop]

Yeah, I'm... I'm not really expecting to hear anything from you for a while. [Or ever. He doesn't think he has to spell out the risks, because Mitsuru seems like the type of person who understands that.]

[killtheanimals]

[Indeed. He is intimately aware he's putting his life on the line here. However--

They need to find out, and they need someone skilled to take that risk. He'll just have to try.]

Maybe I'll just abandon you all here instead.

[...Is. Is that supposed to be a joke.]

[homeecspacecop]

... maybe. [ha. haha. who knows if it's a joke or not.]

That's your choice, but I'd like to think you'd help us.

[killtheanimals]

Luckily, I do need to find how they drew me here from Vision - the only other gate is in Japan.

My Japan, that is.

[So yeah, for better or for worse, he will be back.]
