We know that people under the influence of the Corruption don't remember what they do when it takes over completely, but when the host is in control is the Corruption aware of everything that's happening?
So we're just sitting ducks. It can hide away, mostly undetected unless we're paying incredibly close attention, and study potential victims? While we're all at a serious disadvantage.
To be able to correctly discern the corruption, purge it through your own efforts without taking an additional life, and allowing for no additional death to trespass between the partnerless -
It is not an easy feat.
And while I do find the harm that has passed to be regrettable, I do not agree with an assessment that you are without hope or reason to be more sure of yourself.
[it's just as calm of an explanation as ever, just lune's perspective on things]
... but that is merely an old man's opinion. If you have grievances, I am here to listen to those as well. I merely hope you do not allow them to overrule what has been done well.
[ She still looks troubled by all this. A loss in general feels... well. Bad. And like a failure. Even if she's glad Swift Wind is still here, they still lost two more people this week. ]
... That leads in to my next question.
Whatever North did to cleanse Swift Wind without killing him... how do we replicate that?
Rather, I do not believe that I will be as helpful as she could be.
The young one and I have occasions where we are muffled even when we wish to speak, but there is no such bind on all of you here. Anything that you cannot share is simply because you do not possess the knowledge - not because there is something to stop your will.
People can be stubborn about sharing information. If it puts them at risk, or if they don’t like a person enough to share it. [ She looks thoughtful. ] But if it helps us tip this situation in our favour then.... I’ll see what I can find out.
[ And then she straightens up. ]
There was something else as well. I heard that Sol can heal people in exchange for completing a task or a favour — can you do the same thing?
Certainly, what you're saying is correct... but it does not change the fact that sometimes you will each be able to learn better from each other than for us. I suggest in the future that you inquire more directly. I hate to disappoint you.
[and lune feels bad saying no!!
that said]
We are able to grant rewards for tasks - that is correct. Might I ask what you wish to accomplish?
[ She shakes her head. ] You have trouble telling us things in trials until you’re allowed — if you’re allowed at all. It shouldn’t surprise me that the same applies here.
[ look the last time she opened up and interacted with people outside the few who’d proven she could trust them in deadly, emotionally volatile circumstances, they tried to kill her!
...
...
.. wait. ]
... When you say powers, you mean our elemental powers and individual limited use ability?

miki glances around, before sitting down a little tentatively. ]
Other than the usual?
... I had some questions. And maybe a request. Depending on what the answer to the questions are.

No. It's something you don't have any knowledge of, then?

[ Right. ]
Is there a way to heal Lili’s eye and Four’s leg?
no subject
However, another person has already sought to solve one of these on their own. Perhaps you might care to find them to provide assistance?
For the other, I will have to provide a separate task.
no subject
Can I ask who’s injury the task would be for?
no subject
I do not believe it would be right if we were to reveal the other tasks that others would choose to work on. Consider it a matter of trust.
no subject
So I do a task and one of them will be healed. That’s how it works?
no subject
[there is a tilt of their head at that. miki are you okay]
But you are otherwise correct.
no subject
[ She is fine, thank u. Just bemused. ]
Alright. What would you have me do?
no subject
Receive new information about the darkness or additional roles from someone who is not your partner or usual associates.
[so that's a no on shess or mod characters,]
I believe it would benefit you to expand your circle.

She sighs. ]
As in -- do you mean finding out about powers like Ring of Fire, or Evaporeon? Or more along the lines of powers like whoever rebonds partners?
