1 ♐ Voice ♐ A brief check up

[aim_exorable]

[Wow, Darkleer is actually communicating with the network on a whole for once instead of being a miserable hermit. Must be a special occasion. Does anyone know his wiggling day?]

Now then. Have we all cleansed ourselves of the mess and done whatever strange death rituals foreign species feel the need to do?

[Okay, maybe it is just Darkleer being a coldhearted dick. Eh.]

I believe we should focus on the more important matter here. I have seen discussions scattered throughout the network, but it would be best to have all our thoughts and speculations focused in one place on both the destruction of those so-called faeries and on the recent appearance of that Carol individual.

For those of you who are oblivious and prone to missing the obvious, things are changing in this place. It would be best to be prepared.

[Don't be fooled, he's not doing this to be nice. He's doing what any troll knows to do: looking out for himself and the few he cares about. If that means even faintly working with others, well, he'll learn to deal.]

[Also, that's all the network is getting from him. Click goes the camera!]

[Filtered to Summoner]

[Darkleer hesitates before sending this one out, although his voice is just as stoic and stern as ever.]

Since your children in particular seem to be taking this badly, perhaps it would benefit you to know that those things which followed us were nothing more than mere robots. The technology may have been organic in nature, but it was still nothing truly living. No pain, no loss of life.

That's all.

Feel free! Who knows, I might even come with you. But you should get used to the fact that this city is always changing--and so are the factions in it.

[chosen_gigolo]

Factions? I pretty much thought us foreigners just did our own thing unless we're trying to organize. Do you mean the locals?

[redcloakedthief]

Yes, yes, the locals. Keep up now.

Thalassino and Alpha never got along, you know. I heard it their conversations.

And now these scientists...do you really think that they respect a High Priestess?

[chosen_gigolo]

[Matthew gets a bit of a scowl for his rudeness. Not everyone's been here from the start, dude.]

In my experience science and religion don't really mesh, no. So you think they did away with her?

[redcloakedthief]

[sorry, bro. It's what he does. And he just chuckles at that.]

Personally? I think she's craftier than that. But if so, she's definitely hid herself really, really well.

[chosen_gigolo]

[He lets out a small "hmm", considering.]

I'd wanna hide too if some crazy scientists were after me.

[A sigh.]

You've been here from the start, have you ever tried to escape?

[redcloakedthief]

...Yeah. Of course I have.

Back at the beginning--all sorts of crazy things and plots and plans, just to try to get out. We had no idea why we were there or what was going to happen to us. Of course we were trying to get out.

Nothing worked.

...Ha. It's funny. For a long time, my goal was to see the sun. Didn't realize we'd still be trapped when we did.

[chosen_gigolo]

[Well, that's.. encouraging. Only not.]

What's been tried?
