Any number of folks, honestly. I’d be more insightful if I was the type of expert to truly diagnose, but the best I could do is give advice that may or may not be misguided. We don’t want that.

*Swirls what little I have around in the glass before taking a swig of what’s there before letting out a huge sigh*
There sure is a kick to that one.

@Magnanimity

I may need them in the end... we'll see.

*Lifts the bottle up* Think you can handle a full glass of it then? *I chuckle*

*The effect of hemp and strong alcohol coursing through you may be dampened due to your resilience, but you certainly start feeling a little... senselessly happy and drifty...*

I guess that's okay...

@Server

*Nods then fully reveals the tesseract to both you and Orthrus @Magnanimity *

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Who do you think I should talk to?

@Server

*I lift a finger attracting the attention as to say i'm that guy who has the solution*

So Miss Jade. Shall we? Do you want to do it here then? I'm perfectly fine with doing it in public. but i do not know the policy of preternatural abilities manifested in the bar section of this tavern...

@Magnanimity Mister Orthrus, if you want you could join us. Show me how well you can handle yourself in the mind-dream-ether state? And who knows what form that blockage of Jade's might take, we could use help in defence if it becomes hostile...

*Slides the glass across the bar counter*
Nope. Phew…
*Blinks a few times in quick succession*
No, I’m sticking to what I said. But that is some strong stuff.

@The Odeoron

I’m not immensely in favor of jumping to action on this one. Feels like prying, more than anything.

@Server

Sideslash being the owner of this tavern, I assume she has contacts on contacts on contacts. If that’s a correct assumption, anyway. You’d know better than I.

[Armed Forces]

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

While I'm doing that, make sure we don't lose the people we saved to global catastrophes.
*Sits down cross-legged, and my energies separate and pool into like-colored clusters, while I retain a mirage of my bodily form*

@Session

We’ve got resources in place dealing with that where they can.
*Despite the heavy damage done by the prolonged flame exposure, the natural course of healing seems to be taking its course and no further invasive forces seem to be present anymore*

@Magnanimity

Fair enough man! And yeah, here' have a bottle for yourself as a gift for whenever you feel stressed out. Just... remember to drink slightly less than you did now then *I chuckle - and create another one of those bottles out of light next to you*

Well it isn't prying since she will be with me fully aware of everything i'm doing there, in fact we are both participating, if she doesn't want me to see something, she just locks that door in her mind. I don't need to find out personal information, just check what is preventing her from feeding.

Great. Any other crises we should be ready for?

*Disappears in a flash, leaving behind an afterimage as I appear in the path of the wave projecting a barrier, deflecting it upward and giving Shinji a path of counterattack below me*

@Galaxy Raider

Shinji nods, taking the opportunity to swiftly move under Kat and approach Adrian at rapid speed, cutting a large gash into his shoulder*

Adrian:... that.. hurts... hurts..

*the gash doesnt appear to heal, as his arm falls off*

...hurtshurtshurtsHURTSHUUUURRRTTTSS!

*the entire nearby 10 mile radius erupts into a bright purple and icy blue burning inferno, as my very being is coated in flame, burning through my skin*

GAHHHHHHHH!

*swings my arm in both you and shinji's direction, and a massive plume of scorching, scathing plasma in your direction that continues to ignite fericiously upon impact like a series of missiles*

[souleaterfan320]

Shinji: *looks to the others, shouting*
stay close and shielded, those rings have an armor function!

Okay, well... we can do that in the lounge area, I guess.

Depends on if “Raguel” actually cared about this operation.
*Turns to the cultist pinned under the soldier’s boot*
You tell us. Did he tell you to do this?

This all seems to be a rather rapid jump to action. Hardly a detail actually known, and there’s also the matter of abandoning your position here.

@Magnanimity

Put yourself in her position Orthrus. You are starving, on the brink of death, some unknown person poisoned her and she's dying. She might not make it by the time a solution appears.

@Server

In general yes. Objectivity and caution are always important. I'm not going to insist on this.
