"Comforting. I don't even know how much time I need to take down these dozens of monsters. Given my luck, if I go full-time I will have had months, but if I limit myself to one every other day I'll only have a few days. Any good news?"

(Gretchen's clique's relationship gets Strained. I'm not sure why, but I have to choose one, so there it is!)

((The idea is that the burst of energy from any Burst-level Overcharge burns out a bit of your ability to related to them.))

"That's how it tends to go, doesn't it? And you don't need to worry about planning it, I mean they'll probably come to you. I mean, you're kinda a huge beacon of everything they hate."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Oh. That makes things...easier?"

[ragnarok97071]

"As long as they don't kill you horribly, yes."

Clair finishes rubbing her eyes "Clair Fortune and Neutral got to be the dumbest name for an alter ego. How about Medius(latin for Neutral) or something?"

[Harry Baldman]

Lyuda sits and listens carefully to the others before speaking.

"Benefactor? What that? Dream-thing? Time-stop people? Or something... different?"

She felt so silly talking like this.

Clair finishes rubbing her eyes "Clair Fortune and Neutral got to be the dumbest name for an alter ego. How about Medius(latin for Neutral) or something?"

She laughs out loud, head shaking slowly side to side in amusement.

"That's not a name, idiot. It's my affiliation. I'm not on your side. I just wanted to make sure you knew that."

Lyuda sits and listens carefully to the others before speaking.

"Benefactor? What that? Dream-thing? Time-stop people? Or something... different?"

She felt so silly talking like this.

She looks at her for a few seconds.
Then she makes a gesture and speaks a Word...

[23] and all of them feel their ears pop, as if they'd suddenly ascended high into the air.

And suddenly, she's in that form again, black armor covering her, green flames leaking out into the air around her. She frowns, looking down at herself.

"Fucking sorcery... Oh well, it'll wear out in a minute, then I'll be able to turn back.

As for my benefactor... Well. That's a secret.

Anyway, just speak whatever language you're native to, my spell will translate for us."

[Harry Baldman]

"<For all of us, or just for me? Well, no matter. My most important question right now is this - do you want anything from us, or are we free to go if we please?>"

[ragnarok97071]

"Any one of us, any language. I could start ranting in High Realm and you'd understand me clear as day, despite the fact no-one's spoken it in several millenia. And no, I don't want anything from you, other than that you don't fuck things up for me. I'm neutral, I don't take sides."

[Harry Baldman]

"<It would be good if you were to explain how we could fuck things up for you, if you don't mind. I believe it is in our interest to be informed of each other's wants and needs so that we may better respect them, don't you think?>"

[GreatWyrmGold]

"...I could start ranting in High Realm and you'd understand me clear as day, despite the fact no-one's spoken it in several millenia..."

"If no one has spoken it for millennia, how do you know how to speak it?

"On another note, who are you neutral to? The only sides you've made us aware of are the Youma and the everything else, and you seem--justifiably--set against the Youma. What other forces are at play here?"

[ragnarok97071]

"alright, I suppose I can explain all that, but I hate repeating myself, so you'd best pay attention.

There's a war going on, you know that now. on one side, the Youma and their Neverborn creators, and on the other, the Divines and their... well, you. I work for... well, not to put to fine a point on it, Hell. My benefactor doesn't want to side with the Divines, but he doesn't want to fight his brothers, either. so, he's neutral, and so am I.

as for how I speak High Realm, no human has spoken it. neither I nor my benefactor are human. And you can fuck things up for me by making the Normals aware of just what they don't know."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"You said no one...but let's move past that."

[ragnarok97071]

"You said no one...but let's move past that."

"they're an amalgam of millions of souls and I have two, so my point stands."

[Harry Baldman]

"<You mentioned Neverborn. Who are they?>"
