Akibel Mowar is on his way home from the blacksmith's when he spots it. People are shrieking and fleeing from it, which seems reasonable, as it's a fuckoff huge snake with a mirror for a face. A big mirror.
Kib can't so much flee. He can shriek - he can lurch in the direction of the nearest house and try the door - it's locked. He can amble briskly...
He can break into a run when the snake gains on him and fall flat on his face.
And he can get eaten up.
And it's too bright too bright too bright and he flings his arm over his eyes.

Sorry, it's not you I'm frustrated at, sighs Kib. Any qualms with me bouncing your prophesied death to Maitimo if I think it'll have him in a more motivated frame of mind for getting Fëanáro to person adequately?
secondchance
Sigh. Thanks.
Right. Next obvious steps all call for a people person whom Fëanáro likes. What's Maitimo's availability look like?

Working nonstop on the portals, but when Kib mentions needing a minute things reshuffle and Maitimo finds one. Yes?
He raises an eyebrow. Nods. Yes, that'd do it. And might if the circumstances were constrained enough be the best thing to do, even. I need to talk to my father.
secondchance
Possibly your mother too. She's been dreaming your father sets your youngest brother on fire. I haven't seen that nor do I have a guess about how or why, but I do have a scene right after everything's all dark in which he's conspicuously missing. Unconstrain. The. Circumstances.
Trust me, I am planning on it. I can talk to him today. Do you have anything beyond 'this is one scenario by which I end up a mass murderer'.
secondchance
Lots, in frustrating patches. Kib lays out the whole timeline of notes and its accessory comments, though visuals he will save until they're requested.
They aren't, not immediately. Maitimo looks at the mess and frowns. Okay. I think that's sufficiently puzzle-like to at least interest him.
He's also likelier to be able to guess what the shiny rocks are and how they'd come to be his and possibly what they can do.
secondchance
They had fucking better do something other than be shiny, this is already unbelievably out of control and if it is over shiny rocks that do nothing I will scream.
