002 TEXT

[deosil]

So to be perfectly honest I never thought I would actually feel compelled to offer this. Only this is a lot worse than I thought.

If anyone isn't able to cope with whatever is going on I might have a stopgap solution. One of my powers lets me put people safely to sleep for upwards of a week or so.

Let me be clear, I'm more than a little racked by this thing messing with our memories but I've put myself through worse for harder spells.

It's on the table.

It's appreciated, thank you.

Just out of curiosity, can you apply your powers on yourself?

[deosil]

You know, I'm not really sure. Nothing I've made or done so far has had any kind of effect on me.

[ghoulking]

I'm sorry. it was certainly a random question, but I've noticed a pattern that these sort of powers don't usually work on the imPort who has them. [ it's just interesting, really ]

Have these memories been hard on you as well?

[deosil]

What, magic? [ That's not something she's heard of. ]

I don't want to talk about them. They're not my memories to share.

[ghoulking]

There are other sleeping or sedative powers. But I suppose I haven't heard of magic working on the caster often, either.

Of course not. But if they are being hard on you, it'd be important to try and talk to the person who they belong to. If only to let them know you have them.

[deosil]

From what I've always been taught magic has just as much a chance as coming back on the caster as it does the intended target. Not sure if I feel all that great knowing the rules don't apply all of a sudden.

They are - well, I haven't talked to them about it but they're not in the best position to right now.

[ghoulking]

I can't say it's the rule for everyone. Admittedly, "magic" differs from world to world, as I was told.

Then all you can do is wait until we manage to figure out how to fix things.

[deosil]

Magic is a very broad but not exactly forgiving definition.

I guess.

[ghoulking]

Forgiving?

[For the briefest moment, he considers it. With what's been running through his head these last few days - with how he's apparently driven Blue away again - he'd be thankful for some reprieve.

[But he has his animals and his Pokémon to care for. Running away isn't an option this time.]

its hard
rlly hard
r u ok?

[deosil]

[ The reply came slow. Chise soon realized she had to brush up on her texting vernacular because wow it was dated. Social isolation really did a number on her capacity to read txt speak. ]

I'm okay.

Can I do anything?

[versusseeker]

no thx

[deosil]

pkmn?

[versusseeker]

pokemon**

[And for once, he's not really in the mood to talk about it much more than that.]

[deosil]

I'm guessing that's something that needs further explanation another time.

[versusseeker]

lyk anmls + pwrs

[deosil]

do you need help with those?

[ She can do animals with powers, she is animals with powers ]

[functusofficio]

That seems like an extreme solution. Are there people having that much distress with their memories?

[ ... Not that she's not struggling with some of them herself. ]

[deosil]

Extreme?

Maybe, but I don't see a reason anyone should have to deal with this if they don't have to.

[functusofficio]

I suppose I can understand that, but I have experienced very little significant distress.

It worries me that there are people who have.

[deosil]

They'd be safe, if it helps.

I think it's more no one has had to deal with something like this. Our own memories are its own dark forest. Not very friendly to strangers.

[functusofficio]

I did not think you would offer anything truly dangerous.

I suppose there are memories of mine others would find troublesome. I hope this passes quickly.

Are you yourself doing well? You said that you had been finding this difficult yourself.

[deosil]

I don't blame you for having questions. I did just publically offer to put people into a coma.

I'm

tired. It is difficult, but I'll be fine. Thank you, though.

[functusofficio]

Is there anything that can be done to help you?

[deosil]

I'd like to sleep, but I can't actually use my powers on myself.
