[This is going to be tough with our assorted Northies, isn't it... We're all a little intimidating...]
Good to know. There's definitely stuff we can do to help out with that... but I dunno what exactly we're gonna be tasked with whenever we're sent up there.
[ that thread is pending, so robin, or whichever name he's given them to use ... huh he wouldn't have actually given anyone here his name. well, whatever they've had filter to them over time. some people have his name, they might have heard from them.
anyway point is he doesn't go further into details for now, instead just vaguely affirming what it is malice says with a low 'hmm'ing noise. ]
My thoughts were about the same. If it is a matter of supplies, then that, at least in the short term, is a relatively easy fix... same goes for if we need to do any extermination.
The issue is that these remain simply stopgap solutions at best. Maybe that is all we're here for, in the end, and we should leave the bulk of the problems for the native mages here to deal with should they be recovered— but who knows when that will be.
But who knows. [ he shrugs, languid. ] Perhaps we'll find the root of all issues whenever it is we're called up North.
[ and maybe they won't, and they'll have a merry little time having their own chances at getting possessed. ]
[i am choosing to believe that malice has not gotten robin's name at all because it's funny. how long will it take him to find out.......]
I'm hopin' it's a little more enlightenin' than the last couple've been...
[No shade to our Souths, they did great. Definitely shade to our Centrals and their rolls, who managed to get possessed.]
Regardless, it'd be good to help if we can. I ain't one for stickin' my neck out too far for others, but they feel a bit more like our responsibility 'cause we are claimed by the Northern spirits.
[ in the interest of the funnies i am going to encourage this. robin is never going to give his name unless prompted, let people 'hey you' him all the way to endgame. ]
An excess of altruism is hardly a merit others would attribute to me. [ said, with an amused air. ] Still, on the most practical level alone, it would hardly do to simply leave them to fend for themselves and ignore the happenings there when we know there's potentially something amiss in the countries here.
[ though what that something is remains to be seen if it is not merely just weird moon rocks, the saga. in any case, that's his justification for his interest in this: he is a being of pragmatism and logic, after all. ]
They have so kindly done us the favor of alerting us to what's currently out of place, after all.
[ the potential cause, on the other hand... a matter for another meeting, maybe. ]
Oh, we'd better. I would like to see us being able to leave at the end of all this.
[ as opposed to being horribly cursed into staying, or somehow being stuck because they couldn't fix whatever this moon problem is, or because they lost their magic due to an ill-advised pact or promise or something. ]

What a hassle, but I guess we'll see how things go, huh? Seems like we can work well enough together, anyway.
[...glances at Ithaqua and Solomon... you guys okay over there...]

Heh, better than it could be, yeah? We could all hate each other.
[Instead of being mildly neutral like most of them seem to be...? Have fun, Ithaqua and Solomon.]
no subject
Maybe something will still happen to put us all at odds before we're sent out on our little trip.
[ have fun sorting out your differences, ithaqua and solomon ]
no subject
[It's just one incident after another, isn't it??]
But here's hopin' we can at least put aside our differences for long enough to do what we gotta do.

[revenge!!!]
But I guess it ain't worth thinkin' too much 'bout that right now. Gotta focus on gettin' stronger first, then takin' care of problems here.
