Shortly after the Cavalry Arrives Regarding Prompto's Post

[naturaltwohands]

ENOUGH!

We are handling the situation! Stop your shouting at the poor man! It was an honest mistake, and I am safe. It is common for goodly folk to consider me an enemy when taken by surprise of my appearance, and I will not fault those here for doing the same.

Leave him be.

Comments

[papacerberus]

[Slightly distractedly, but gently]

Agreed. At this point continuing becomes harassment and runs risk of causing further incident.

[Not actually private, but definitely meant for Drizzt specifically.]

Thank you for stepping up in this way; it's very honorable.

Private

[helborn]

[Casper's mental response is tinged with anger, with fear, with exhaustion and regret.]

I won't let them hurt you.

[naturaltwohands]

Indeed, it does.

[You understand why he's doing this, thank you.]

And no thanks is needed; it was a mistake, and this is right.

Private

[naturaltwohands]

[Gentle, calm, and tinged with what can only be described as a deep, brotherly love.]

I know. But please, I am all right. Not even a hole in my cloak.

[awitchdidit]

Honestly, I mostly chimed in to make fun of Jules...but the important thing is, no one died, and we can all relax and welcome the twitchy new person now.

[papacerberus]

I'm just glad it's being resolved without violence.

[There is a feeling of something unsaid there. Lupa understands the need to protect comrades, he does ever so well, but... Casper's entrance irks him just a bit.]

[naturaltwohands]

As am I.

Private

[helborn]

... I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt. Or if... if...

[There's definite pain in his mental voice.]

I... sorry...

[naturaltwohands]

Yes, that is the most important thing.

... do you think they are related?

[papacerberus]

If you ever need anything, Vishuddha is open to you. I'm also available... when I'm not living one of my other lives, that is.

[He infiltrates a lot, and feels relaxed enough now to look at the humorous side of things.]

Private

[naturaltwohands]

I know, I know.

[Gentle, calm, warm.]

When Armin drops the shield, come to me.

[naturaltwohands]

Thank you, truly. You were a calm sea in this business. Is Vishuddha the name of your personal space?

[Yes, that does have a tendency to happen fairly often.]

[awitchdidit]

Well, Jules favors the flight response, the new guy favors fight. It's too soon to tell, really.

Private

[helborn]

I will... I... yeah.

Sorry about all of this...

[naturaltwohands]

Cousins at the least, then.

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Quick question. Will all of your weird psychic shit, can anyone block off his access to all this right now? Please?

Private

[naturaltwohands]

It is all right now.

[He'll wait to gently scold you when you've probably cemented yourself to him like he suspects you will.]

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt doesn't ask why, understanding.]

If anyone, it will likely be Armin.

[papacerberus]

Vishuddha was the name of my Tribe's territory in the Junkyard. I'm only able to create a very small portion of our base here, and it's perhaps not the most comforting place, but it's the closest thing to a home that I've ever known.

If you want to visit, you might want to bring an umbrella.

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Then can you put a message through? I don't know who the fuck that is.

[rustyhonesty]

I know how to in two different ways. Though you'd need to know how to protect your mind first...

[naturaltwohands]

Certainly.

[Psychic Protection II: Locked to Drizzt, Armin, and Eliot]

Armin, do you have the ability to block Prompto's access to the network until this dies down? The man has suffered enough. He needs peace.

[rustyhonesty]

Sounds like I missed quite a mess...

[unapologeticallyaffected]

Okay, let me rephrase it - does anyone know how to do it without actually hurting him? Because I am not requesting someone mind-blast my friend right now, sorry that wasn't clear. [Eliot's tone is sharp and impatient.]

[naturaltwohands]

I might visit just to see the place and understand more of where you came from.

And I have a cloak--no need for an umbrella.
