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. ]

Maybe not. A lot happened before we all split ways a little bit ago, and I didn't have a chance to introduce myself to everyone.

As for finding you or your shard, technically I haven't. I just used mine to send out a message to everyone who teleported out of that cavern. It seemed like a handy tool to have access to.

[aquaveiled]

You mean when we were trapped inside our nightmare addled minds? Yeah it is a little difficult to meet people then.

Oh, that's good. I was hoping it was somewhere safe.

Wait, so where are you now?

[goldendeceiver]

Just a little.

I was part of the group that headed towards the city. I'm going to be a little cagey about saying anything more concrete than that, because I'm not sure how secure this means of talking is. I'm sure you know what I mean regardless.

[aquaveiled]

Oh yes, Godsblood? Does it live up to the name?

[goldendeceiver]

It might be better not to--

[ Ah... fuck it, she already named the city... ]

I'm not sure about all of that, but it's a lively city for sure.

[aquaveiled]

[ Too late. ]

What are the people like? Do they have any idea of what happened?

[goldendeceiver]

Most of the ones I've spoken to seem caught up in their own affairs, but I haven't exactly been that forthcoming from not being a local myself.

[aquaveiled]

That's probably for the best. I heard it's by the coast. Can you see the water?

[goldendeceiver]

Not in every part of the city, but a little walking can change that quickly. I lived by a beach for years, so it's nice to see again.

[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.

[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.

[aquaveiled]

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

[goldendeceiver]

It's a long story, but buy me a drink sometime if you're ever in town, and I promise to tell you some version of it.

[ Some version being the key. ]

[aquaveiled]

Done and done!

Once I manage to find whatever they call currency here...

[goldendeceiver]

Jools. Not something you've gotten your hands on then?

[aquaveiled]

No, not yet. We were provided some basic supplies and I really haven't tried to purchase anything...

[ She is fairly used to trading services for supplies, after all. ]

[goldendeceiver]

Nice of them to do that much for you all at least.

[ Godsblood might have more in the way of tangible goods to offer, but they didn't get any of it for free. ]

[aquaveiled]

It was. I didn't realize how lucky we were in comparison.

[ Grateful before, but now even more so. ]

Well if it turns out you need anything of us, just let us know. They don't have much to spare but they are eager to help out the other Aions.

[goldendeceiver]

It's nice of you to offer that too. I'll keep it in mind, though in all honesty we're doing alright scraping together enough to get by.

[aquaveiled]

If there's anything we can give you as well, there door is open I'm sure. We definitely have a decent amount of spices!

[goldendeceiver]

Spices, huh?

[ The wheels in his head immediately start spinning at that one. ]

Just out of curiosity, how much is a decent amount?

[aquaveiled]

I've tried twelve distinct varieties so far but I know there are more I've yet to taste.

[goldendeceiver]

Aha, I meant the volume of each one. Any chance there's enough to sell, or even barter for some much needed supplies?

[aquaveiled]

Oh! There might be some...I can go check in the store room and see what we have.

What flavors do think would be best? Savory? Salty? Spicy? Extra spicy? Extra extra spicy?

[goldendeceiver]

A lot of spicy in that, huh?

Probably a little bit of everything though. People like to put all kinds of things on their food.
