Posted finely to the Golden Willow's noticeboard would be a parchment with the script of a familiar deemed Jacobinist of Regalia. The writer themselves seemed to be taking advantage of the sudden amount of aggressiveness to include their own, passive type of aggression.

Lay down your sword
Lay down your soul
Unless you bear none at all?
The Houses, they fight
The Houses, they'll crumble
How is this any right?
Their fights are like children's
Brutal and petty
A false king trying to build his false throne
The blood of a past one hardly dried on the stones
Yet his kin still rises for more
Lay down your lines
Lay down your life
For there will be no more
Should you continue forth
-Icarus Albatross
 
Amrynn spends a few minutes reading the page. It's the third or fourth now, they've lost count, that they've found posted or crumpled on the street. Every word seems so carefully chosen to prove a point, but what is the point, really? It feels a waste of parchment.

The thought makes them frown, realizing this was a far better option than causing a riot, or harming someone. And they find themselves disappointed they thought lowly of this "Icarus."

"Well... I hope you don't lose your head for these..."
 
Carefully peering around the streets for the first time in months, the man known as "Appleton" surveyed the poster up and down, then under his plague mask he'd smile, then turn on his heel and retreat back into the shadows. He'd then take his own next poster, carefully underlining certain words for emphasis and praying the right person saw the right message.
