Food for thought:

As this is the time of year in which this world seems the most vulnerable, it seems prudent to remind all to be cautious. Whether or not a disturbance occurs or not, it has been two years since the initial barrier's breach, and one year since, for lack of a better description, a ghostly invasion.

There have been tremors occurring near the factory which can be traced to some noticed issues, though none of the citizens thus far seem to have anything conclusive to report on it, unless they are hesitant to commit to it. Given the barrier in the mine seems to be more vulnerable than the one currently surrounding the city, it might well be considered a point of entry, even if our study of it is still yet limited at this time.

Considering the timing, we will see if this bears any interruption, or potential detraction, from any celebration they may intend to hold in the next coming month.

You would not be wrong. He did try to change his tune when I mentioned you, of course. Worried that it would land him in some terrible trouble.

Otherwise he had been too quick to doubt whether or not he has anything worth offering at all, when the whole concept seemed fairly romanticized to begin with. My concern is that he does not see my flaws, for how much he wants to protect me. He would... not be the first.

[necromanswers]

Nice to know I still inspire the fear of death in immortals. Warms me right to the cockles.

You should ask him to name your flaws. Watch him squirm, don't take no for an answer.

[shroudedsecrets]

Now that sounds like a romantic suggestion. I am certain he will be completely thrilled at the prospect.

[necromanswers]

Woman, this is public. You don't have to spread around your kinks.

[shroudedsecrets]

It is not, I assure you. You know I am careful when it comes to our more sensitive subjects.

[necromanswers]

Are you sure? One sec, I'm gonna test the security of this link

[If anyone's giggling we have a security breach-]

[


And... yep, that's silence. ]

Satisfied with your testing? I should almost be insulted that you thought I would lack such discretion in the first place.

[necromanswers]

Feel free to be insulted. You can pretend I'm channeling Taako.

[It's not like the twins never insult people they like.]

[shroudedsecrets]

Maybe I will.

Although, funny you'd say that. I did have a conversation recently that reminded me of him. The way he'd... struggle, with my speaking habits. It was kind of nostalgic.

[necromanswers]

Oh yeah? Did something happen?

[shroudedsecrets]

Well, it had occurred not too long ago, while I was explaining some of the situation I brought up in this communication of past events.

Talking about it all then of course resulted in pondering about what had all occurred previously, and... well you know how I can get with explaining these matters. He wasn't used to deciphering that sort of conversation. It had been a while since someone had indicated something of that nature to me.

[necromanswers]

I can see that. Once in a while it comes across like you still do rocket science or something, but you've definitely come a long way. It must catch you off guard sometimes, if people go "what are you on about" like Taako or I used to.

[shroudedsecrets]

It does. No one quite makes the distinction like you two had, but sometimes someone will surprise me.

And you know how it is. Sometimes I'll simply speak and get caught up in the explanation, and might keep on going if there's a lot of it.

[necromanswers]

Oh, 100%. Love you to bits but you can occasionally be the walking embodiment of tl;dr.

[shroudedsecrets]

Occasionally? Is that an indicator of progress?

[necromanswers]

You don't need me to tell you that.

[shroudedsecrets]

I do know that. It's just nice to hear you say it.

[necromanswers]

Well, good. You know where to find me.

[shroudedsecrets]

Indeed. I seem to have a few more explanations to provide, so I will see you shortly.

[necromanswers]

You know where to find me.

[She's probably in the basement or something.]
