[late Tuesday]

Are you really in Zen? I keep hearing rumors about the Ahura's reappearance.

[and a little later]

[Dragon Mail: Rachel Hamada]

Hey, it's Ali. From Underwood.

OMG really?!

Oh wow they got you too huh D= are you okay at least?

[wificafe]

They? I don't think it was arranged.

I'm alright. I'm in the Nenakret, showed up right outside the World Library. That place is freaky to walk into for real.

[zenpc]

I don't think it was for me either but still!! Its just easier to say "they" did it xD

Oooh I haven't had the chance to see it yet. What's it like dodging flying books?

[wificafe]

Well there is someone up to something but I don't really want to write about it, just don't think they're sending people into Zen. At least I hope not...

It's... interesting. I didn't go in too far so didn't have to dodge too many, thankfully. But wow, walking in to see it... Got a couple snaps on my cell before the battery died. Not sure I'll ever get to share them though haha.

I'm coming to Bastan later this week. You're still there, right?

[zenpc]

Yeah I'm staying at the church still. I'd definitely like to see you! There's so much to catch up on!

Oh, by the way Lindsey's son ended up here too =( I've been watching him since yesterday.

[wificafe]

Seriously? Oh god Lindsey must be freaking out.

[zenpc]

Yeah I'm worried =( But he said his uncle wrote him this morning so I think she must know where he is by now at least.

[wificafe]

I guess that's something. At least she knows he's alive, but man.

Hey do you know if clerics can heal old injuries? Like something from over ten years ago?

[zenpc]

Yeah I'd be killing myself with worry if it happened to my kid. I can't even imagine.

Hmm you know, I don't know.

[wificafe]

I can't even picture myself with kids to know how I'd handle it. :|

I guess they wouldn't have many long-term injuries here to really figure it out... Guess I'll have to wait and see.

[Dragon Mail: Alison]

[brokencrescendo]

I am.

Apparently, so are you.
Where are you? Are you safe?

[wificafe]

I'm safe, yeah. Working for a baker in the Nenakret.

Wish I knew what was going on.

The siege is over now?

[brokencrescendo]

[PS these replies are on Wednesday after he gets back to Pakerion/Undertow and can answer.]

That's good.

It is. I've taken the berserkers back to Pakerion. It's one less thing to worry about.

[wificafe]

In here, anyway.

Who's still working on all this out there?

You know Lindsey? She didn't really RP but she plays Lynea. Her son's here now, with Rachel. He's just a kid.

[brokencrescendo]

Gabriel. Jordan. Heimdall. Malachai. Maybe more now, given Bastan's appearance.

Heimdall mentioned he was missing. Glad to know he was found safe. I don't think these disappearances are targeted. If we can find out what causes them, maybe we can get people home.

[wificafe]

Yeah, they seem pretty random. Especially after a child.

How do we find out?

[brokencrescendo]

X-DAV must know something. One of them told me how to get here. There wasn't a large window of opportunity, but he had the exact time and place. Called it a "disturbance".

[wificafe]

So they can track this stuff?

Do the others know?

[brokencrescendo]

I mentioned it to Jordan.
Ezra knows. He came with me.

It's hard to trust X-DAV. The berserker who told me may have been working against them. But at least we know there is a way out. We'll find it, somehow. You'll be able to get home.

[wificafe]

What about you?

Jordan told me Irena's out there, but she can come back. Her teleport still works. She set another bind point at Jordan's place, so now she can teleport back and forth.

[brokencrescendo]

What about me?

No kidding? Maybe if we can get a portal mage doing something like that, we could skip over X-DAV entirely. Can Irena learn anything like that?

[wificafe]

Will you be staying here, as the Ahura? Or would you go back if you could?

Any mage can learn it, but they need training. Not sure how that works for someone who's real, and I have no idea if a portal could target another world. No idea how her teleport even lets her go between. I don't understand how these two worlds work well enough.

Irena didn't have portal magic. Just the private teleport. Heck, that's only supposed to allow one bind, but she has two now. I don't think she's playing by the rules anymore. :P

[brokencrescendo]

There's a lot to do here first.

Guess none of us are. Fists aren't supposed to be a weapon class, either.

But this is good news. It means we might have other options. If not with Irena, then maybe another mage.

[wificafe]

If we find another mage who's crossed over, yeah. Or one of us becomes a mage...

I'll talk to Jordan. She might be able to convince Irena to learn portals. Or if I see her I could try, I suppose.

[brokencrescendo]

If one of us did, they'd have to find their way back. Dangerous, though.

That's a good idea. Let me know if you need any help with anything.
I don't think you'd much like the shelter I could provide, but I could at least send you a bodyguard.

[wificafe]

I'm going to Bastan tomorrow. I should be pretty safe there. Just trying to figure out what to do.

[brokencrescendo]

Yeah, should be. Just mind the hole.

Thinking of joining a guild?

[wificafe]

Hole? I'd heard part of the city had gone missing, but...

Thinking about it. Not really sure yet, but I mean, if I'm stuck here indefinitely, I'd feel better if I could at least protect myself.

[brokencrescendo]

It did. And it left a hole.
Heard it showed up in Fall City. Things aren't getting any more normal.

I can't say it's a bad idea. Even if you find a way home, there may still be the monsters.

[wificafe]

I don't even know what normal is anymore.

Yeah, just gotta figure out which guild to join. I'll keep thinking about it. Want to talk to a cleric first, then I can figure out what my options are.

[brokencrescendo]

Understood. Contact me if you need help with anything.
[It's not likely she'll pick berserkers, right? Right...]
