[Walkabout] Early on Day 5

[helborn]

... It moved again. It moved and it got to me.

And... um. You might want to start on getting to it fast. I think it can use pretty much all of my abilities, and if you try to capture it...

I think it'll use anything it can. If you need to ask about it, let me know...

[Surprising no one, there is more screaming at this news.]

[helborn]

Jules, you know I care about you and understand that you're afraid of things, but right now that really isn't helpful!

[failgoyle]

But what if it starts picking people off, we are living in a horror movie scenario right now!

[helborn]

I absolutely have the skills that can do that, which is why you need to get to me first.

If... you can catch me, I guess. I'm pretty fast.

[failgoyle]

I am not fast, that's why my skills lean towards staying real still and avoiding notice!

[helborn]

Then maybe you could be a lookout?

[failgoyle]

[There is a long, deep sigh.]

I've done it before, sure.

[reallymean]

If anyone does opt to go after you - after it - I can offer a blessing of speed that may help to even the odds.

[The voice is clearly Allura's, but the flat and measured tone is far from typical.]

[helborn]

That might help, yeah. Depends how fast...

[reallymean]

It's difficult to say. I haven't offered a blessing since we left Achaea. But even a narrowing of the gap might be helpful.

Are you willing to give us an overview of what you can do?

[helborn]

[... He just sighs mentally.]

Various frost abilities, including making weapons out of ice. I can deal with ghosts, I can see in the dark... the more you hit me the stronger I get in general, and I can fly. I can also blind people temporarily, daze them, or summon either a swarm of snowballs or a poisonous cloud... gods, what else. I can lift heavy loads and if I combine abilities I think I can go over a hundred miles an hour. I... don't know how much of that this thing can access.

[reallymean]

I would expect that will depend on how long it has to learn just what you're capable of.
