I don't know that much. But whatever's floating over there is definitely from him.

@Server

I suspected as much... Well now we have a clearer picture at least of the situation Orthrus @Magnanimity

*Frowns*
I don't love this. He's been here.

@Server

What do you mean... Mierno? As in he's actually been inside your inner space? Like seriously? That is a psychic psychopath if i've ever seen any...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

I guess just trying to learn more can't hurt. But I'll no doubt need help in the end.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Alright, I'll try.
*Sits down at the edge of the sinkhole and closes my eyes, thinking deeply*

@Server

Maybe you'll need help, maybe you won't we'll see how well our attempt works here first.

*You suddenly get infused with an indomitable sense of enhanced awareness of everything that makes you... well you... and everything that is not you... more specifically everything that has to do with Mierno. And you almost feel that if you were but to reach out and snuff out his curse, you could... but it isn't so easy*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I definitely think you ought to get help with it. There are people who are professionals with this sort of thing.

@Magnanimity

That is only if the three of us aren't enough, remember she has more power in here than any of us presently.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

I understand the idea of meditation. But I don't think you've explained how I'm supposed to use it to fix this problem.

@Server

Once you become in tune with the environment and yourself you'll be able to spot the entire intrusion that is Mierno's curse. Then you can better guide us to tackle each and every manifestation in better more delicate ways, because you will just have that knowledge.

Then it is the three of us that start erasing these anomalies, restoring you from inside out.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

It's not, but what am I trying to do?

@Server

Sit down, then... *Begins describing the process of present moment transcendental meditation*

There... you get it now? This is empirical for you, and you alone, to figure out what is ailing you in detail.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

You're all coming up with different solutions when I don't even understand what the problem is. What did he do to me?

@Server

He stopped you from being able to feed... that's all i know. But for more info, i already suggested what you could do right now. Start meditating or is meditation an alien concept to you?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Looks between both of you as you speak*
So it's even more complicated than it sounds.

@Server

@Magnanimity
Uuum... i don't really know how to put it dear Jade... but basically your situation is just that kind of issue... And i don't really understand what you mean by complicated, in my eyes, i already have the solution, but Orthrus sees this in a different light, and as for Mierno, i simply don't trust anybody related to the thing of a man, to be a source of help for you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

It really is a lot more nuanced than that. Trust me as someone who’s been partially involved in learning about them. And trust me when I say that judging individuals based on a collective is a narrow mindset… I have my own reservations about them, but if I truly believed any of them would maliciously hurt her then I wouldn’t even bring it up.

@Magnanimity

It's not really about judging the group as a collective. Is more about, they are in touch with each other right? That means that even if she's helped by a good one, then what's to say that one won't accidentally splurge info on Jade to Mierno, and the domino starts falling.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Then I think it’s a safe assumption. Have you actually had anyone look you over? Do a thorough physical examination?

@Magnanimity

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Shakes my head*
Not yet. I don't know anyone who would be good.

@Server

Still not agreeing on that approach but if it comes down to it, my wife can do that, or even better Myallah. She's... definitely better at anything regarding living beings than even a century's old medical expert - not that my wife started as a doctor... but again... centuries of life...

<Snipped quote by Server>

My references would come with strings attached.
*Pauses for a moment in the mental projection, glancing around in the real world*
Listen. It may sound unintuitive, but there are folks in the same network as Mierno who would probably help you out, and would probably do it for free. I have my reservations about them as a collective, but some of their constituent parts are revered members of society. And they have a few doctors among them.

@Magnanimity

Dude seriously? Yeah, just throw her in the deep end like that...

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Let me make sure I have this. You don't like these people, and Mierno is part of them, but you think they'll help me because SideSlash is connected to them too? That's awfully confusing.

@Server

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

That almost sounds like a mafia of sorts.

@Server

<Snipped quote by Server>

Sounds at least adjacent to that, definitely. The spirit of it just puts me off.

@Magnanimity

And that's even more why you shouldn't propose her to be helped by a mafia like "hero" squad.
