[Things have been going well for Allen the past month. Very well. And while that was certainly a good thing, he couldn't shake the anxiety that it meant something was about to go horribly wrong. Because you know, because it usually did for him. ]

[So he here was, trying to at least put a few of his fears at rest- especially after this latest round of augment malfunctions. Just what if the next round of malfunctions were less benevolent in nature? In truth - he didn't really expect any good answers. There almost never was when he sought out help. Still, there was always a chance. And at least he'd feel like he was doing something]

I'll say...

[ Clay what is your life. Seriously. And at that second part, he pauses ]

...I hadn't realised spirit mediums were a legitimate thing...

[Says the guy that can see dead trapped souls magically]

[geonomy]

you know, there's a planet out there where talking party ponies exist. spirit mediums can be legit next to that right?

[save_the_souls]

[Uuuugh sure bring up the talking party ponies. Stupid party ponies ruining skepticism for all]

...Yes, I guess so next to that.

[geonomy]

[Yaaaas thank goodness for talking party ponies.]

what's impossible in your world can be totally possible in the next, even if it seems improbable. thats definitely something i learned by being here.

sorry i know that doesn't have much to do with the demon possession thing. but hey, maybe it's impossible in your world but totally doable in another

did you get any good hits with that problem btw?

[save_the_souls]

Right. I'll do better to remember that.

[He has to stop himself from asking what "btw" means. He gets the rest of the sentence so maybe it's something unimportant.]

[Anyway, talking about this to Clay felt weird. Part of him felt happy that he seemed to care about this enough to ask and to see that Clay really was a good guy. Meanwhile the other part of him was totally worried about him figuring out who he was talking to and what would happen. Because hey, somebody in this conversation with white hair has insane trust issues.]

I heard a couple good ideas I hadn't heard before, so that's something. I can look into those. That alone is much more than I was expecting.

I mean, even the usual "the only solution is death" answer was more creative than normal- no one's ever suggested lava before! Have to admire that!

[Okay maybe you don't- but hey when you get that sort of sentiment every time you look into this problem, you get pretty jaded to the ways people offer to kill you okay.]

[geonomy]

[...]

wow

thats rough buddy

[That death is the usual answer and all. It's not like this guy could help it, right? It's kind of sad that killing someone has to be the only solution to the problem. All those stories he read about possessions of that sort suddenly seem way darker than he thought they were.]

but hey, it's good you found something, right? maybe they'll work out! or if not, they could be a step closer to what youre looking for anyway!

[save_the_souls]

It's alright! No one's actually tried yet.

[Well okay, except that one time and he ended up getting stabbed through- but okay there were extenuating circumstances there! They were under a lot of stress. So it's really water under the bridge now.]

Yeah! Here's hoping something comes from it! That'd be nice.
