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. ]

[ Man gets stabbed in the back and says not to worry about him, alright.

No, really. Alright! Dokja can absolutely pretend like he doesn't care. But we all know the truth, don't we. ]

Right. Back to this. We can just do this to anyone? At any time?

[goldendeceiver]

[ Those are extenuating circumstances that had nothing to do with his trust level! 😭 ]

I can't say I know all of the limitations of it. This is only my second time testing it out.

[salvageable]

You're right that it doesn't feel very secure.

[ Dokja... kind of doesn't like it at all. ]

The person who contacted you was able to reach you with no problem?

[goldendeceiver]

Mmhm. It's handy, but we probably want to be careful with it for now.

Maybe? I can't imagine he had any more trouble than I did, and it seems like the people they left with actually gave them an explanation about how this works.

He was the one to warn me that he didn't know if those same people were able to listen in on the conversations or not though.

[salvageable]

Did he now...

[ This stranger is sounding more and more suspicious. A warning like that? When they were apparently given an explanation on how it worked? What an odd and important thing to leave out during a lesson... ]

Let's talk in person soon.

[goldendeceiver]

[ Dokja please, he's too old for a lecture. ]

Sure, but Mr. Dokja? You sound kind of skeptical of my judgement here, so consider this...

It doesn't really benefit anyone who wants to spy on us to tip us off that they might be able to. If the intention was just to keep us from using it to pass on sensitive information conveniently, well... to be completely frank, I'd still be uncomfortable doing that even if I hadn't had that idea "planted" in my mind. I don't know enough about this form of communication to fully trust it.

Still seemed handy enough to be worth mentioning to others though.

[ WHO'S LECTURING WHO ]

I'm just a suspicious person by nature, Ernesto.

[goldendeceiver]

[ Shhhh. Let him be a hypocrite. ]

I can't pretend that I'm always much better...

[salvageable]

[ When he learns Makoto is a demon, it's going to be game over anyway. ]

I do appreciate it being brought to our attention. We'll figure it out.

[goldendeceiver]

[ Whomp whomp.... ]

Right. Not like we don't have some time on our hands now.
