To all Pleroma

[goldendeceiver]

[ The sensation that a message has been sent should be hitting every person aligned with the Pleroma right... about... now!

Though whether a character figures out that they can detach their shard and see the message is another matter entirely. ]

So tell me, did any of you figure out we could do this yet?

[ Ernesto can't really take credit. A Kenoma friend reaching out to him was what tipped him off to this particular ability. ]

I have a strong feeling you might be right about that.

A visit would take some time though, so I'd be better off making a little more of the local currency here before I try to leave the city.

[goldendeceiver]

I'd like to think that at least some of them aren't looking to immediately stab me in the back, but...

You're right, and I'm not reading to blindly trust anyone that joined hands with the Regent.

[superbshot]

Have you not heard of the hidden ways between the two?

Without saying too much, there are ways to move more quickly.

[hippocarnival]

I guess that we existed at all. Maybe it's been a while since... anyone came out of those crystals.

[traversal]

Not immediately, yes, but eventually is another story.

[ honestly, she doesn't want to risk that. as reckless as she is, she doesn't know how much of her constitution has changed in this world. ]

I'll see what I can gather using the shard, then.

[inutilis]

...Hm.

Something about your delivery leaves me mildly concerned, Mr. Tequila... should I be checking up on you?

[goldendeceiver]

Can't say I have, but if that's the case, if you ever have a chance to show me in person? I'd appreciate that.

[goldendeceiver]

I wonder just how long... that priestess didn't look that old to me.

[goldendeceiver]

Let me know what you find out. I'll be testing things out too on my end.

[goldendeceiver]

There's nothing to really worry about, Father. The situation wasn't quite what I expected it was going to be, but we're making it work.

[inutilis]

Somehow, I still feel uneasy... Instinct? I've learned to trust my gut, so I'm going to continue worrying about you anyway.

I don't have a suitable place to offer you to crash with me, but I will come and offer moral support at the drop of a pin, and now you could send me a nice SOS letter, anytime~! Day or night! Isn't that handy?

[aquaveiled]

Oh, did you? What a coincidence, so did I! Well, a few malms away but close enough.

[ Just, you know. In the opposite direction. ]

I may envy you a bit in that case.

[superbshot]

When I make it there, I'll reach out, certainly.

[traversal]

I will. I think it's best to know what we're up against to prevent another conflict like the last, even if we have formed connections with the other group.

[ it seems like it's a you-vs-them kind of situation in this world. how troublesome. ]

[goldendeceiver]

I made this into a bigger thing than I had to, huh? The space I'm in is just a little... cozier than I was hoping for. That's all.

I promise I won't bother you with messages that often either.

[goldendeceiver]

Don't envy me too much. Even before coming here I had to relocate to a new home without nearly as nice a view.

[goldendeceiver]

Looking forward to it, Miss Caitlyn.

[goldendeceiver]

Here's to hoping we'll be able to...

[ He doesn't get the sense that most people relish the idea of a confrontation on either side, but he also doesn't doubt that a lot of the Kenoma will start one regardless if they feel like they have to. ]

[inutilis]

No no, I wouldn't say you made it into a big fuss... quite the opposite, in fact! You're always so low-key and relaxed, it's hard to tell if something is bothering you. That's why it's my job to nag you into getting to the heart of the matter~!

...Which I feel I haven't quite managed, this time. So! I'll trust you to tell me if there's anything I can do. That seems like as good a compromise as any, right?

[hippocarnival]

I didn't ask, but... I could? [Surely the forest people still count the years.]

[goldendeceiver]

Is that going to be the deal? Alright... I promise, if something really bothers me I'll be sure to let you know.

[ Probably? ... Maybe... /shakes head no ]

[goldendeceiver]

Might not be a bad idea to get a sense of that.

[hippocarnival]

Mm, I'll talk to them. They've been pretty welcoming so... maybe they can explain everything going on.

[inutilis]

I'll hold you to that~! Don't let me down, alright?

[ narrator voice: Ernesto did not, in fact, tell Abel anything. ]

[aquaveiled]

Oh? Well now you've just got me even more curious.
