just_as_planned[David's been out of contact for the past few days, having flown back to New York because his wife was due to give birth soon. Now he posts a video to the school network, looking tired and worn.]
I know everyone is busy enjoying their summer vacations, but I'm in need of a little help. A powerful faerie has cast a sleep spell across several blocks of Manhattan, and I have...my own issues to deal with, so I can't play damage control, so-
[He cuts off as an older man shoves him and his entire rolling chair off screen.]
Don't give me that 'personal issues'. These people are from that fancy magic school you're going to, right? Then they can use their fancy magic to help!
[The man turns to the camera, looking deathly serious...and also as though he hasn't slept well.]
Oberon is giving us twenty-four hours from last night to change our minds about not giving up my grandson before he forces the issue. You people are supposed to be protecting us civilians from these magical...shenanigans, right? So come protect my family!
[David comes back into view, adjusting his suit after his sudden trip.]
Father, please...but, you're right. As much as it pains me to ask...I don't think we can handle this on our own. Anyone who's willing to stand up to the ruler of a fae kingdom, please...I would be deeply in your debt if you helped me keep my family together.
(And so begins the Midsummer Night's Dream plot! Due to time differences, this will actually take place in the early morning of the 11th by Daybreak local time, and so the log for actually facing Oberon and protecting Manhattan will go up tomorrow.)
