Silverspear: Uh, hey, Arkay?
Deathbringer is now online.
Deathbringer: Elksia! Hi!
Silverspear: Hiya.
Silverspear: I feel pretty bad texting you out of the blue but I got a problem.
Deathbringer: That’s absolutely fine, you’re one of my first Dessaron so I’m gonna help you!
Silverspear: I appreciate that.
Silverspear: Wait, what do you mean by first?
Deathbringer: Uh…
Deathbringer: There is… time piss going on. Mostly because I got stuck in three different universes with the same fucking asshole time drake.
Silverspear: I wanna ask more but I got more important stuff going on right now.
Deathbringer: Fair. How can I help?
Silverspear: Do you know any really good telepaths?
Deathbringer: How good we talking?
Silverspear: Uh…
Silverspear: Well, I don’t need anything on the level of that crazy Psion badass who waltzed into Deathven Sector Alpha, freaked everyone out and caused the Overlord and Deathven in general to rethink all of their telepathic security, but I do need someone who can find who sent telepathic commands to one of my underlings to try and get them to kill me.
Deathbringer: Sorry just spat out my drink.
Silverspear: Why?
Deathbringer: I’m dating the crazy Psion badass. You met Litvir already.
Silverspear: What?
Silverspear: …
Silverspear: I can’t find the right emoji to describe how I am feeling right now.
Deathbringer: Are you alright, Elksia?
Silverspear: No.
Silverspear: I got attacked by one of my own troops. She was mind-controlled and is now catatonic and unresponsive and I feel bad for her since she clearly didn’t attack me willingly.
Silverspear: I thought it was a one-off or an illness or something.
Silverspear: But there’s been other attempts and other deaths.
Silverspear: And now none of us can get in touch with Goldclaw, who runs the Justarian Border Guardians Union, and we’re waiting from confirmation from the nearest sub-sect to work out what happened.
Silverspear: But the worst thing is that the Justarian Up Tops just… don’t seem to be doing anything.
Deathbringer: I can get why that’s upsetting.
Deathbringer: Are you safe right now?
Silverspear: Yeah, I’m fine.
Silverspear: Not hurt. Just super fucking worried.
Deathbringer: Well I kinda can’t just teleport in and come and save you if you are, sadly. I… I can only do that in weirdly specific circumstances. Circumstances I haven’t worked out yet.
Deathbringer: But I can help you.
Silverspear: Oh my gods, you can?
Deathbringer: Yeah, but not directly.
Deathbringer: Mostly because I’m fucking miles away, and you’re like two sectors away, but also because I kinda don’t really know how the Justar work.
Deathbringer: You guys are like a whole different culture to everyone else I’ve met so far.
Silverspear: We’re kinda like our own country or state or something. We even have different rules compared to other sects.
Deathbringer: Exactly.
Deathbringer: Alright, first things first, have you spoken to Kengana?
Silverspear: Who is Kengana?
Deathbringer: He’s this guy…
Deathbringer: Fuck, I don’t actually know his codename.
Deathbringer: I need to ask Vikalos and get him to tell me what it is.
Silverspear: Oh! You know Firestorm?
Deathbringer: Yeah, he’s so nice, I love him.
Silverspear: I didn’t really get a chance to speak to him at that party.
Deathbringer: He was busy being pestered by everyone else. He literally started hiding in the room set aside for me, Retvik and Litvir because people kept on going to his room, knocking on the door and asking to speak to him.
Silverspear: Everyone’s split 50-50 on the guy. He’s either the badass warrior who went soft or he’s the angry guy who finally settled down. And no one ever really knew why.
Deathbringer: I think it’s both, plus Vikalos knowing just how powerful one’s image is, and him also being stupidly smart and powerful. As to why? Well, he fell in love.
Silverspear: With two Beh’ens?
Deathbringer: You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Silverspear: I dunno, it’s weird.
Deathbringer: We all do weird things to make ourselves happier.
Deathbringer: Alright, I dunno what Kengana’s codename is and Vikalos is busy right now. But, like, his job is to make sure that things are all alright in sects.
Deathbringer: When I was a Decayling and there was a massive black hole the Thantir couldn’t deal with? Kengana stepped in with the tools needed to fix the problem. Alright, it kinda went bad for the Thantir, but he did solve the problems.
Silverspear: I don’t want things to go bad for the Justar.
Deathbringer: Bro, you were attacked by a mind-controlled person who was supposed to be loyal to you, things are already going bad.
Deathbringer: But like, Kengana knows way more shit than I do AND he has better access to the higher up Justar than I do. He can kick them into gear, get them to address your problems and solve the issue.
Deathbringer: Worst case scenario, he sends Deathven-based people in to fix things.
Deathbringer: Actually, that ain’t the worst case scenario at all, but you get what I mean.
Deathbringer: And if things get REALLY bad? Get your ass out of the Justarian Circle and go to any other sect for help. Us Thantir will always help. The Phantai and Ekthris will help too. The Alsyr are pricks but they’ll help as well. I think the Phantai are the closest to you.
Silverspear: They are, yeah.
Silverspear: I suppose, I could always just fly the ship out of the Justarian Circle. My sub-sect is by my side. Mostly.
Deathbringer: You’re on a ship, it’s easier to get out.
Deathbringer: Also, like, if things get super ultra mega bad? I have Deathven’s fucking phone number. I’m part of a Hidden Trio, I can tell tell Deathven in person that something is wrong and he’ll step in.
Deathbringer: I very much doubt it’ll come to that, but we have options.
Silverspear: Well…
Silverspear: You’re right.
Silverspear: I’m just waiting for Bloodstealer to get back on confirmations.
Silverspear: Goldclaw is a bastard but he doesn’t deserve death.
Deathbringer: I hope things go alright.
Deathbringer: I’m here if you need to talk.
Deathbringer: And, at some point, we need to get together or something.
Silverspear: Heh, yeah, I’d like that.
Silverspear: Thanks, Arkay!
Deathbringer: No worries, Elksia.
Silverspear: Speak soon.
