[ Broadcast: Huntress only ]

Hey everybody, this is Sorey. I'm just checking in, seeing if everything's okay. Oh, and paperwork for new upgrades will be coming in soon, so if there's anything anybody would like to see upgraded, cast your votes now!

Oh also, we don't have any lab support personnel. I know Mikleo's been doing some stuff but if you know anybody looking to transfer who'd like the use of the lab, could you let 'em know? I'll include a call out in my public broadcast in a sec.

Okey dokey, that's all for now! If anything comes up, don't hesitate to contact me or Mikleo!


[ Broadcast: all ]

I'm kind of curious; so there are a lot of different kinds of forces or energies here that are a lot like the ones back on my planet, but they don't seem to behave the same way here. Like the rules are different. Is anybody else running against that?

And as an aside, if there's any potential lab personnel looking for a place, the Huntress has an unoccupied lab, for now.

Oh. [Gonna just- there we go.]

...I guess you found out about that one on your own, huh.

[hearsthesea]

[Shirley doesn't mind talking about her mistakes, but she appreciates the gesture.]

Thank you, Sorey. Yes, I did. One of the first things I did as Merines was take the eres from all Orerines. Most were returned when we calmed Nerifes, but it did cause trouble for a lot of people.

[She frowns, because she'd been too caught up to care much at the time but it's not exactly a happy memory now. She remembers being powerless, easily.]

And actually, even myself...I lost the ability to use my powers for years, after failing my first Rite of Accession. I'd rejected Nerifes to do that, so it only made sense that I would lose its blessing. I've really only learned how to use my powers after everything with Nerifes calmed down.

[monolike]

Are eres that important to society? Do you use them for more than just battle? [Like, it's pretty clear that she'd obviously used them quite a bit but societies are largely civilian.]

[hearsthesea]

Losing your eres drains you of strength, and robs you of abilities you always had. It's especially dangerous on the Legacy, since our settlements are so isolated. I didn't think about it back then, but the monsters outside of town would have made any kind of travel dangerous.

[It hadn't mattered when the plan was to drown them all anyway, but she remembers coming back to residual panic in town after Nerifes returned their eres.]

[monolike]

Oh yeah, I guess that would be really startling. Especially if there's wildlife that's really hostile. [Man, their world has hellions but hellions are a product of malevolence. What must it be like to have actual monsters wandering around as a part of your natural ecosystem?]

[hearsthesea]

It was, and it's not something I'll ever do again. Some monsters are tough enough even for erens!

[It's mostly a joke, but also entirely true.]

[monolike]

So you have...monsters? That just live in wild and go around attacking humans? Or are they just animals?
