Elly had procured all the blueprints of any and every Rassi jail possible. They all looked alike though, so it wasn't that hard. The hard part was figuring out where they were most likely to keep them. Which was simple if you knew the usual prisoner layout of a Rassi Jail. Which Elly did not. So...yeah....
Elly placed all the blueprints down in Lily's home, which had quickly become her second home. May and Aeron were expected any moment now, Lily was in the kitchen, and Elly was looking over some tactical issues involving jail breaks. And mulling over several "Hypothetical" jail break questions her dad had answered. Of course, since her dad had no experience performing jail breaks, it was a mostly on the law side of the equation.
And if anyone was at the door, Elly hoped that they knew to just come in by now. After all, Lily's place was a 24 hour place. If she wasn't painting, you could come right in and everything.
It was almost time though. Elly had pinpointed the three prisons most likely to hold them and she had three teams of Crescents ready to just go whenever they needed to. Months of planning had lead up to this.
She and her team (May, Aeron, Lily, herself, and a few others on support) would take the jail nearest to Miska, the capital. The second team (Lead by Nina and her group of male lackeys) would take the prison closest to the sea, since Nina had connections at all the seaports in the known world and would be able to get them out of there quickly. And the last team, lead by Parker and his goons, would take the prison closest to the border.
Now all that was left was the night before departure logistics planning and uber-classy dinner party.
Because they were nothing if not classy.

May was pushing Aeron forward.
"Move, come on," she said. "Your big butt is taking up the entire hall."
She huffed, slithered around him and ran to Lily's, shutting and locking the door. "Hey El, your brother's gonna be a while. He's being a prick."

Elly rolled her eyes.
"Alright. He'll figure out where the key is eventually." She said. Lily, Elly, and May all sat down at Lily's table and began discussing the plan.
"How should we get in?" Lily asked and Elly pointed on the blueprints to a small opening.
"It leads underneath the prison, but from there.."
And here she traced a line following the path.
"We can make our way up to the guard's barracks. In a country prison like this, at any given time there are only ten guards on duty. According to the handbook, and we know how hard the Rassi's get for rules, ten guards MUST be on duty at all times except for meal times and night times, when the guards can be downsized to five that rotate in three hour shifts. And all guards must have two uniforms on hand. If we go in during daylight, which is normally really stupid but here I suppose it's fine, we can steal the extra uniforms, take out the guards which will be patrolling solo on our way so that it doesn't look odd that there are suddenly fifteen guards walking around instead of ten, and work our way into the cell rooms from there?"
"Anything to add May?" Lily asked.

Aeron made it inside quickly enough and got to hear the tail end of the plan he had already heard before. Twins stuck together.
"We need an extra couple of people stationed around the perimeter of the grounds of the jail. We can't control when or if people come and go and if someone is coming, we need people to ambush them and either delay them enough that their presence will not interfere with our mission or straight out kill them." Aeron said. "Any ideas where we can get them?"
Elly looked over at her brother.
"I'll ask Olive or you Senet?" She asked.
"Ask Olive for us, I'll ask Senet for Parker's group and then I'll go to Ulfer for Nina's group." Aeron said. "Lily? May? Anything else?"
Lily raised her hand.
"I read in the handbook that the cooks at the prison were local women. Is it possible for one of us to sneak in with the women a day or so before hand and poison some of the food, not to kill because that'd be suspicious, but to make people ill as so to incapacitate? Our location is remote enough that if I, May, or Elly went in a day or so before hand, even if they've noticed that enough guards are sick that they can't just "Bend the Rules a little" anymore, they still wouldn't have received the necessary replacements, if the request had even reached another group, let alone been sent out." Lily prompted.
"I like it. Puts a whole bunch of people out of commission." Aeron said.
"And the more people out means less work for us." Elly said. The twins highfived.

(ooc. Sorry! I forgot about this post!)
May sat and listened, not having much to say. She wondered if she could get Dev to help with something, he'd actually been to those lands after all. Maybe he could tell something they didn't know. She'd ask him before she mentioned it though. She wondered why she hadn't thought of it before. She'd been scattered brained since she returned.
Her eyes scanned the blue prints with a careful eye.
"I can go in as the cooking maid," May said. She didn't realize it but she sounded detached.

They all looked at her. Elly looked a bit worried.
"Ya know, May, if you're not up to this, you don't have to go in." She said. "It's up to you, we're not going to force you one way or the other. But you don't sound or for that matter, really look too good."
Lily was silent for a moment, then she spoke.
"May makes the most sense for the kitchen maid. For as knowledgeable as we mostly are about poisonous plants and the like, May knows them by heart and how much to give in proper dosages. She makes the most sense for this role and she's just volunteered. In the end, it is up to May, but I say that she probably needs to come."

May smiled, it didn't quite hit her eyes, but it did a little because she did find solace in her friends care.
"I'll be fine, Lily's right, I'd be the best to do it. And I can still make the food taste good," she said with a wink. "I'll do it."

"Well...." Elly said. "Tomorrow night, we go. But for right now, we have to have our classy dinner party. Because I know us. And we are nothing if not the classiest people in the worl-AERON! IF YOU TOUCH MY SATCHEL AGAIN, I WILL FUCKING STAB YOUR EYEBALLS OUT AND MAKE WATCH AS I EAT THEM!"
Aeron did not ever touch her satchel again and Lily and Elly went and brought dinner out.

May giggled a little as the dinner was set up with a ton of banter and a very very scared looking Aeron.
"Yummy!" she said. "Aeron, stop, say grace."

Aeron stopped.
"Grace." He said. And then he began to eat again.
The dinner continued on like a normal dinner with them. Sans two important members, of course, but that would come in time, with luck, and a little bit of Crescent-approved murder and mayhem.
Lovely.

After they ate and laughed and talked they'd all started heading back home. (Well not Lily and Elly, but May and Aeron at least.)
"Bye lovelys." May said, giving Elly and Lily a kiss on the cheek. "Don't do anything too rash, and if you do, invite me along, if you have time."

It was dusk and they were all arriving at the rendezvous point. From here, all three groups would be taking off to their own individual destinations. Both Aeron and Elly were able to get Olive, Senet, and Ulfer to send more people in for scouts, so they were set. And now they waited for everyone to show up and for the sun to fully set so that they could take off.
Aeron looked over at his sister.
"Nervous?"
She nodded. "Not of the mission, but of what we'll find. I mean, what if Rast and Gabe are already dead? And who knows who else we'll find there? We all know a lot of people who have gone missing over the years."
He went over and hugged her.
"I promise that no matter what, it's going to be ok. I don't know what we're going to find or who we'll find or how we'll find them. But it's going to be ok."
She nodded.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah." She replied.

May had gotten there only a little after Aeron an Elly, but she waited till more showed up. She'd said good bye to Delvin, who spent the last few hours playing cards with her. She knew by the time she got back, he would be gone and off to war and that was hard to deal with. She shoved that out of her head though. There were other things to worry about. It was just hard for her with everything that had happened. She missed Gabe and Rast, and all the others that had disappeared.
She came up with one of the last to show up, her mind like crystal.
Everyone after a final nod or hug to a friend, and looked at their leaders ready.

Elly stood next to Parker, Nina, and Aeron. They were discussing the course of action.
"AND BREAK!" They shouted at once, their small circle breaking. Elly looked over at the ragtag group of mostly Crescents, with some other groups and friends mixed in.
"Hey guys! Whose ready to get drunk!?" Elly asked. "Well, you can't. Not yet at least. Ok, so you all should have gone over the game plan. Rendezvous point is in Brayelle Town, get there within the next two weeks or a search party will be sent after you. Try to stay in your groups everyone and you know who your leader is. And guys, stay safe, stay secret, and stay calm. These may be Rassi's, but ya'll damn well know we're Onoskan and we're better. I'll see you guys in a tavern."
That was the break. Everyone got into their groups and set off.

May and their small group moved swiftly through the woods. Their group took three days to get close to the prison. May didn't talk much. Though neither did anyone else, except at night by the fire, when they all tried their best to ease the tension.
Every one remained sane at least.
Then they got there.
