Iskaulit Mingle - Problems with Psychics

[notzubats]

Who: Anyone on the Iskaulit!
Broadcast: If you'd like?!
Action: Iskaulit!
When: Today, as Sora's augment glitch starts.

[It's your average day on the Iskaulit. Absolutely nothing seems out of place initially, but without any warning- you might find yourself or your friends experiencing some problems. What's up on that?

In other words, it's an Iskaulit mingle with a twist! Come on in everyone! You don't need to interact with Sora to have it effect you, so feel free to start your own threadstarter! Or talk to Sora, that's cool too. ]

Mm, very. Innocence manifests differently for each user.

There's three types, actually. The last is Crystal-Type, it's like a cross of the two other types. It's forged into a special weapon, but they use their blood to do it.

[...Yeah. It's gross.]

[nerdeology]

[YEAH, SOUNDS LIKE]

Isn't that dangerous?

[Blood is kind of important!!]

[save_the_souls]

[A shrug with his good shoulder]

Probably. Your resolve has to be very strong to wield that type, so only a couple Exorcists ever have.

[nerdeology]

That's... understandable.

[About as much as anything Exorcist-related can be understood for someone not involved, anyway.]

Is there anything you need help with while your Innocence is missing?

[The question is asked a bit more carefully this time; after Allen's surprising response when it was brought up before, he'd rather not cause offense.]

[save_the_souls]

No.

[It's instant, as if it's a defensive reflex more than anything else. And he seems to notice that, as he eases up a second later and tries again]

...Thank you, but I'm alright. I know how to function with one arm.

[nerdeology]

[The follow-up is gentle, but Mikleo still feels somewhat chided, though understandably.]

I'm sorry... my intention was never to offend you, but I'm obviously clumsy with my words.

[save_the_souls]

[He frowns]

No, it's not... It's not you. You haven't done anything wrong. It's just-

[ ... ]

Where I come from, people aren't always ... [He pauses and bites his lip] Well, I always found it better to be self-sufficient.

[nerdeology]

...Oh. I'm sorry for speaking so carelessly, then.

[Even if it's a misunderstanding, he's mature enough to take responsibility for his own words.]

I won't pry, if it bothers you.

[This is new territory for him, and he's admittedly curious. Even so, he sure as hell isn't going to be more rude when it's obviously a sensitive subject.]

[save_the_souls]

It's fine. You didn't know.

[It's not like Mikleo knows anything about his past. It was something he kept close to his chest, and for good reason. And so, he offers an apologetic smile.]

I appreciate that. [Since he knows Mikleo, he's the curious sort] Sometimes, I think...well, some things are better left forgotten.

[nerdeology]

Anyone can sympathize with that sentiment, I'm sure.

[Some people have more to forget, but it's common enough to have regrets or unpleasant memories. He gets the message loud and clear, and he's glad he'd more or less asked first.]

I hope your Innocence returns soon.

[save_the_souls]

[He gives a little nod, appreciative that Mikleo isn't going to pry further or doesn't seem hurt by him refusing to disclose more.]

Thank you. I hope you get your water abilities back soon too.
