Hello, everyone. I... I have the list of those who have vanished. [For once, Armin doesn't use his image when making a broadcast, and he's definitely shorter and more terse than normal. It's definitely unusual, for him - but anyone who knows him well enough to notice might figure out why as soon as he starts reading off the names.]

Ivan. Levi. Joscelin. Yua. S-sansa. Adachi. Neeshka. Hitsugaya. Sera - umm, the unfriendly one. And Xaldin.


[Locked to former Illuminated]

I heard some of what happened during the walkabout. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear more about it from each of you in person. When you're feeling up for it.

[Armin had assumed as much. But it was better to keep his responses more consistent, lest any of the Trumps be listening in. He doesn't want them to think this conversation is anything special, anything different than the others.]

I'm busy right now. [With other respondents to the psychic post, obviously.] But I'll come by sometime soon.

[That the Trumps may be listening is one of the reasons he's kept his guesses to himself. They do not know if the Trumps can hear anything on the psychic network, or if psychic filters would stop them if they can. Better to assume they are listening and be cautious than to assume they are not and reveal too much.]

Naturally. [Dropping everything else immediately simply wouldn't look right. He understands. And is patient more than anything else.]

[After his discussions on the network are done, Armin makes his way back to his room before detaching himself from the network - letting his awareness of it fade away to nothing before heading out in search of Near. It will take longer to find him without the network, but if there's even a chance it means the Trumps are unaware of what he's doing, it's more than worth it.]

So you were Indigo.

[When he finds him, Armin doesn't bother with any sort of small talk or preamble. Since the other doesn't care for any of the social niceties, there's no need for it, when it's just them.]

How much is 'some'?

[It helps that Near is perhaps the Traveler that is least inclined to wander anywhere, even if he isn't specifically waiting for anyone. He is crouched on the floor as usual, left leg tucked to his chest, swooping one of his toy robots about.

[And, as usual, he doesn't bother to look up.]

A few spells, lower-end. [Nothing that had been out of reach of his overlay before he'd become Indigo.]
