[Casper’s response is immediate and sounds deeply concerned.]

Shit. Okay, that’s worse than I thought. I’m about to drop some fairly privileged information from my world, so don’t abuse it.

It sounds like a Scion’s relics. We can’t use our more magical abilities without channeling power through them. Like if you stole Aiden’s pencil, she wouldn’t be able to fly.

If they’re all synced up with each other, and one of them basically has a break in the circuit, that’s a huge problem.

Yeah, it’s bound to you. There’s probably certain ways to access someone else’s relic but I don’t know how.

Like you could take my baseball bat and smack someone, but you’re not freezing the local lake. It’s still probably hurt someone more than a regular bat, but I’ve never let anyone try.

Relics are super fucking hard tif not impossible to make on your own. I can understand the need to get it back if the comparison is at all correct.

I can handle defensive, it’s aggressive in a group that I’m worried about.

I’m asking right now, though. I’ll keep you updated on how hard I need to smack Grant.

Yes and no. Never as myself.

Uh. Yes.

Both better and worse. I'm more able to directly participate but I have less cover, but I also have more abilities at my disposal past Champion magic, but... it was kind of nice being a kid with a lot of people around who cared about him?

Yeah. He's a good kid. he's been in Questing Country continuously for about three years, though. I'm not sure how that's going to affect him when he gets up... but he looks like a kid who's around ten, blond hair and a white robe over white and gold armor. Unless he's changed it up which wouldn't surprise me.

... He'll make a good Oracle one day, when he burns off his kid energy.

Uh. He and his parents are on a long-haul ship out in space. It'll take a few years to get to where they're going, so yes. Effectively.

If I have to I can enforce calm with Siren Song but I'd rather not have to. If punches start getting thrown I'm just going to oinsert myself in between since there's not much that can hurt me that badly.

No, we don't. But I can shut off pain and regrow three out of four of my limbs, so I'm not overly worried. I probably should be, but better they hit someone who can take it than one of their fellow Dreamers who can't.

... I. I don't know. I guess I'll figure it out... or... something...

[Is she concerned about him? That's kind of nice.]

Guess I'll have to try to knock them down first.

... I'll try to not get in that situation. I just... don't want them to hurt each other, either.

... I know. I just... I'll do what I can to try to make peace.

Stabbed doesn't worry me. Shot does. But point taken.
