[And it's... A lot more than they're going to expect.
Written like a standard report, Eustace writes about the hidden city, Orkili, found beneath the Wastelands, the exact coordinates something they can pull with the tracking device now. He'll do a quick description of the city, of its technology and its people, and how they've lived using a type of reactor that converted nightmare energy into a sustainable power source.
However, there's been a breach and this is where the past thefts are tied in. They attempted to gain more dreamotion to keep it stable, but it was not enough, and now there is a threat of a complete breakdown which would mean nightmare energy destroying this city and potentially reaching Reverein and who knows what else is hidden out here. For some reason the people are still stubborn about directly asking for help, but the situation is too dire now.
Plans of evacuation are being made and Eustace requests for assistance to be prepared. Requests to prepare high amount of dreamotion to be sent to the city. He'll make an announcement to call to the rest.
After that there will be the flurry of exchanges as everyone rushes out, until at least it will just be Tifa and her only connection to Eustace.]
[It's a lot to take in for sure, and Tifa just stands aside while he exchanges information with the researchers, peering in to read each message exchanged back and forth until they finish.
And finally... after all is said and done and they all rush to prepare their assistance, she's left in the room with her journal. Alone... With only Eustace's words on the page to comfort her.
She's going to need a moment to gather herself, as if he were right there looking at her. As if he could see her trying to steel herself for the news that's about to come. The conversation she was dreading. So, it'll be a while before Tifa finally writes back. She doesn't know what to say at first, so...]
[Where Eustace is, he sits back in the chair and desk he had been borrowing for this. The sirens are still blaring, but its dulled by the room and he just rubs his brow, collecting himself.
And when he looks back at the journal, now quiet, he just sighs and sits back forward, already flipping to a new page so he can write to Tifa again...but she beats him to it. Staring at the words, he feels a longing ache as well as a guilty twist in his heart before he responds.]
No.
But I could use your help here.
[Truthfully...he would rather she didn't. Rather she stay safe out there. However, as he stares out the window to see everyone rushing here and there, he knows she would never want to do that.]
Actually you know what? I'm going to bring a few other things that might help. You said there was nightmare energy, right? I wonder if I could get a few more of those glass charms.
You mean from home? I guess if we need something to push back the nightmare energy, yeah. I can pick a bunch of those and bring them, too. Could hand them out to other people if it'll help.
[But the words that appear next for her on the page make her heart twist with sadness and worry, and there will be several beats before she responds again.]

But she will do as he says and update the researchers...]
They said to go ahead.
[And she's going to wait with bated breath, her heart beating a thousand miles a minute, anxious for an answer.]

I just need to know that you're going to be okay. I can't do that when you're all the way over there and I'm here.
no subject
What I meant is, I need you to come here. There will be transportation provided to take you and others to the city.
no subject

Unless you don't want to come?
[Last part is sent mostly in jest...but never hurts to check.]
no subject
What about the dogs?

[That is also mostly said in jest, but they aren't going to be given a choice.]
I wonder if I could offer the cafe as a place for people to go who need a place to eat. Mirabelle might be able to handle it with her magic?
no subject
That's not a bad idea. If not, preparing some meals to send over would work just as well.
The Orkilins are rather...reluctant to interact with us for some reason.
no subject
You think it's something to do with the dreamotion?
no subject
no subject
Does seem a little odd, considering that you're there to help. But maybe they don't know that.
no subject
But we'll have to deal with social politics later. Whether they distrust or not, we're the only option they have and they know it.
no subject
Anything else I should bring? Anything that you need?
[That isn’t just food and water...]

[...Hmmm...]
Our flowers might be useful as well.

If you get a cart you could carry more that way. They might also be useful for the incoming evacuees...
I wish I was there so I could help you.

[But the words that appear next for her on the page make her heart twist with sadness and worry, and there will be several beats before she responds again.]
I wish you were here, too. Not just for the help.
